商品描述

These lectures provides a brief introduction to the theory of critical phenomena, including the Ising and φ4 spin models, and the strictly and weakly self-avoiding walk. Then recent results in dimension 4 for the φ4 model and the weakly self-avoiding walk are discussed. These results have been obtained using a rigorous renormalisation group method. Several tools that are fundamental to the renormalisation group method are subsequently introduced, including Gaussian integration, perturbative renormalisation, and the stable manifold theorem. The last third of these lectures discusses non-perturbative aspects of the implementation of a renormalisation group step. Tutorials are included.

Roland Bauerschmidt is a University Lecturer in the Department of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics at the University of Cambridge. His work mainly focuses on the applications of probability theory and analysis to topics in statistical mechanics. He received his Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of British Columbia in 2013, and was a member of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton at the School of Mathematics, and a postdoctoral researcher at Harvard University. He received the IUPAP Young Scientist Prize in 2015.

David C. Brydges is a Professor Emeritus of Mathematics at the University of British Columbia. He works on quantum field theory and statistical mechanics, with an interest in functional integration and probability. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan, and was a Professor at the University of Virginia. He served as the President of the International Association of Mathematics Physics in 2003-2005, and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada in 2007.
