We shortly illustrate how the field-theoretic approach to critical phenomena takes place in the more complete Wilson theory of renormalization and qualitatively discuss its domain of validity. By the way, we suggest that the differential…
The study of critical phenomena and phase transitions is an important part of modern condensed matter physics. In this regard, the phenomenological Landau theory has been extraordinarily useful. Hereby we present an alternative theoretical…
Geometrical approach to the phenomenological theory of phase transitions of the second kind at constant pressure $P$ and variable temperature $T$ is proposed. Equilibrium states of a system at zero external field and fixed $P$ and $T$ are…
After a brief presentation of the exact renormalization group equation, we illustrate how the field theoretical (perturbative) approach to critical phenomena takes place in the more general Wilson (nonperturbative) approach. Notions such as…
We discuss several examples of three-dimensional critical phenomena that can be described by Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson $\phi^4$ theories. We present an overview of field-theoretical results obtained from the analysis of high-order perturbative…
This paper presents an introduction to phase transitions and critical phenomena on the one hand, and nonequilibrium patterns on the other, using the Ginzburg-Landau theory as a unified language. In the first part, mean-field theory is…
These lecture notes want to illustrate the close connection between statistical mechanics and field theory not only on the formal level, i.e. that many concepts of one area can easily be taken over to the other one, but also on the level of…
We handle divergent {\epsilon} expansions in different universality classes derived from modified Landau-Wilson Hamiltonian. Landau-Wilson Hamiltonian can cater for describing critical phenomena on a wide range of physical systems which…
A general analytical method is developed for describing crossover phenomena of arbitrary nature. The method is based on the algebraic self-similar renormalization of asymptotic series, with control functions defined by crossover conditions.…
A Landau-Ginzburg functional of two order parameters (charge-density $\phi$ and mass-density deviation $\eta$) is developed in order to yield a field theory relevant to ionic lattice gases as well as a family of off-lattice models of ionic…
Different perturbation theory treatments of the Ginzburg-Landau phase transition model are discussed. This includes a criticism of the perturbative renormalization group (RG) approach and a proposal of a novel method providing critical…
We present a calculation of critical phenomena directly in continuous dimension d employing an exact renormalization group equation for the effective average action. For an Ising-type scalar field theory we calculate the critical exponents…
We critically reconsider the Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson (LGW) approach to critical phenomena in the presence of gauge symmetries. In the LGW framework, to obtain the universal features of a continuous transition, one identifies the order…
Our aim in this set of lectures is to give an introduction to critical phenomena that emphasizes the emergence of and the role played by diverging length-scales. It is now accepted that renormalization group gives the basic understanding of…
A classification of critical behavior is provided in systems for which the renormalization group equations are control-parameter dependent. It describes phase transitions in networks with a recursive, hierarchical structure but appears to…
An investigation of the spatial fluctuations and their manifestations in the vicinity of the quantum critical point within the framework of the renormalized $\phi^{4}$ theory is proposed. Relevant features are reported through the…
We develop a field-theoretic description of large-scale structure formation by taking the non-relativistic limit of a canonically transformed, real scalar field which is minimally coupled to scalar gravitational perturbations in…
Random matrix theory, particularly using matrices akin to the Wishart ensemble, has proven successful in elucidating the thermodynamic characteristics of critical behavior in spin systems across varying interaction ranges. This paper…
We propose that the finite-frequency susceptibility of matter near a class of zero-temperature phase transition exhibits distinctive excitonic structure similar to meson resonances. The specific case of a Landau level undergoing a…
We present an effective field theory method to analyze, in a very general way, models defined over small-world networks. Even if the exactness of the method is limited to the paramagnetic regions and to some special limits, it provides,…
