Specifically, quantum antiferromagnets, magnon Bose condensates, and systems exhibiting deconfined quantum criticality are considered. The book?s main achievement is the incorporation of both quantum and statistical fluctuations into a quantum field theoretic treatment of critical phenomena. This yields significant new insights into an abundance of problems, positions them in a much more general context, and offers an unprecedented power to analyze experimental and numerical data and predict new effects. Further, a major result and overarching theme is the exploration of the scale-dependent coupling constant ? an effect known in quantum chromodynamics as ?asymptotic freedom.? The book provides the first analysis to reveal asymptotic freedom in the quantum magnetism context, and discusses many other manifestations. Another significant result concerns the development of a consistent theoretical framework that resolves a long-standing inconsistency in the theory of Bose condensation. Using the approach developed here, two new universality classes are subsequently identified. A final major result addresses the exotic scenario of deconfined quantum criticality. Within this framework, the book predicts the Bose condensation of particles with half-integer spin ? the first- ever made in this regard. In closing, a smoking gun criterion to test for this exotic condensate is established. . 410 0$aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5053 606 $aPhase transformations (Statistical physics) 606 $aCondensed matter 606 $aQuantum theory 606 $aSuperconductivity 606 $aSuperconductors 606 $aQuantum Gases and Condensates$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P24033 606 $aQuantum Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19080 606 $aStrongly Correlated Systems, Superconductivity$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25064 615 0$aPhase transformations (Statistical physics) 615 0$aCondensed matter. 615 0$aQuantum theory. 615 0$aSuperconductivity. 615 0$aSuperconductors. 615 14$aQuantum Gases and Condensates. 615 24$aQuantum Physics. 615 24$aStrongly Correlated Systems, Superconductivity. 676 $a530.143 700 $aScammell$b Harley$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0835316 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300558603321 996 $aInterplay of Quantum and Statistical Fluctuations in Critical Quantum Matter$91866792 997 $aUNINA
