On the 40th anniversary of the Beresinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless
Theory (BKT), this informative volume looks back at some of the
developments and achievements and varied physics applications which
ensued from the beautiful BKT vortex-unbinding seminal idea. During
the last four decades, BKT theory, which is undeniably one of the
most important developments in condensed matter and theoretical
physics of the second half of the twentieth century, has expanded
widely. It has been used and extended from many different
theoretical and experimental perspectives. New and unexpected
features have been uncovered from the BKT theory. Since its
inception, apart from applications in condensed matter physics, the
theory has been actively applied in other branches of physics, such
as high energy physics, atomic physics, nuclear physics,
statistical physics, nonlinear systems, etc. This makes the theory
an indispensable topic for all who are involved in physics. An
international team of experts, each of whom has left his mark on
the developments of this remarkable theory and experimental
applications, contribute both historical essays and more detailed
current technical and experimental accounts to this volume. These
articles highlight the new discoveries from the respective authors'
perspectives. This unique volume celebrates the impact over four
decades of the BKT theory on modern physics. In addition to the
historical perspective provided by Kosterlitz and Thouless's
overview, the volume provides a comprehensive description of
experimental and theoretical applications and extensions of the BKT
theory.
