Nogueira and Hagen Kleinert; Index 330 $aThis book reviews some of the classic aspects in the theory of phasetransitions and critical phenomena, which has a longhistory. Recently, these aspects are attracting much attention due toessential new contributions. The topics presented in this bookinclude: mathematical theory of the Ising model; equilibrium andnon-equilibrium criticality of one-dimensional quantum spin chains;influence of structural disorder on the critical behaviour of thePotts model; criticality, fractality and multifractality of linkedpolymers; field-theoretical approaches in the superconducting phasetransitions. 606 $aPhase transformations (Statistical physics) 606 $aCritical phenomena (Physics) 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPhase transformations (Statistical physics) 615 0$aCritical phenomena (Physics) 676 $a530.4/74 701 $aHolovatch$b Yurij$0861687 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910449883103321 996 $aOrder, disorder and criticality$91922805 997 $aUNINA
