Critical phenomena is one of the most exciting areas of modern
physics. This book provides a thorough but economic introduction
into the principles and techniques of the theory of critical
phenomena and the renormalization group, from the perspective of
modern condensed matter physics. Assuming basic knowledge of
quantum and statistical mechanics, the book discusses phase
transitions in magnets, superfluids, superconductors, and gauge
field theories. Particular attention is given to modern topics such
as gauge field fluctuations in superconductors, the
Kosterlitz-Thouless transition, duality transformations, and
quantum phase transitions - all of which are at the forefront of
today's physics research. This book contains numerous problems of
varying degrees of difficulty, with solutions. These problems
provide readers with a wealth of material to test their
understanding of the subject. It is ideal for graduate students and
more experienced researchers in the fields of condensed matter
physics, statistical physics, and many-body physics.
