Sommario/riassunto

The notion of renormalization is at the core of several spectacular achievements of contemporary physics. This book provides an introduction to the sophisticated tools used in the theory of non-perturbative renormalization, allowing a unified and rigorous treatment of Quantum Field Theory, Statistical Physics and Condensed Matter models.
