This graduate-level text gives a self-contained exposition of
fundamental topics in modern equilibrium and nonequilibrium
statistical thermodynamics. The text follows a balanced approach
between the macroscopic (thermodynamic) and microscopic
(statistical) points of view. The first half of the book deals with
equilibrium thermodynamics and statistical mechanics. In addition
to standard subjects, the reader will find a detailed account of
broken symmetries, critical phenomena and the renormalization
group, as well as an introduction to numerical methods. The second
half of the book is devoted to nonequilibrium phenomena, first
following a macroscopic approach, with hydrodynamics as an
important example. Kinetic theory receives a thorough treatment
through analysis of the Boltzmann-Lorentz model and the Boltzmann
equation. The book concludes with general nonequilibrium methods
such as linear response, projection method and the Langevin and
Fokker-Planck equations, including numerical simulations. This
advanced textbook will be of interest to graduate students and
researchers in physics.
