Description for Disorder and Critical Phenomena Through Basic Probability Models
Paperback. Understanding the effect of disorder on critical phenomena is a central issue in statistical mechanics. This volume explores this problem by focusing on "pinning models," covering recent mathematical works that have essentially put the main predictions of the physics community on firm footing. Series: Lecture Notes in Mathematics / Aecole D'Aete De Probabilites De Saint-Flour. Num Pages: 141 pages, 12 black & white illustrations, 1 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: PBT; PBW; PHS; PHU. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 7. Weight in Grams: 231.
Understanding the effect of disorder on critical phenomena is a central issue in statistical mechanics. In probabilistic terms: what happens if we perturb a system exhibiting a phase transition by introducing a random environment? The physics community has approached this very broad question by aiming at general criteria that tell whether or not the addition of disorder changes the critical properties of a model: some of the predictions are truly striking and mathematically challenging. We approach this domain of ideas by focusing on a specific class of models, the "pinning models," for which a series of recent mathematical works has ... Read more
