Description for Topics in Disordered Systems
Paperback. Disordered systems are statistical mechanics models in random environments. This work deals with the equilibrium properties of a few chosen examples of disordered Ising models. It considers two main types of systems: disordered ferromagnets and spin glasses. Series: Lectures in Mathematics. ETH Zurich. Num Pages: 88 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PBT; PDE; PHF; PHS. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 254 x 178 x 5. Weight in Grams: 420.
Disordered systems are statistical mechanics models in random environments. This lecture notes volume concerns the equilibrium properties of a few carefully chosen examples of disordered Ising models. The approach is that of probability theory and mathematical physics, but the subject matter is of interest also to condensed matter physicists, material scientists, applied mathematicians and theoretical computer scientists. (The two main types of systems considered are disordered ferromagnets and spin glasses. The emphasis is on questions concerning the number of ground states (at zero temperature) or the number of pure Gibbs states (at nonzero temperature). A recurring theme is that these ... Read more

Reviews for Topics in Disordered Systems
"The book is accessible to those with an understanding of the basic theory of Gibbs distribution, yet it proceeds almost immediately to the frontiers of research... It is not an attempt to survey the entire field of disordered systems, but it serves as an excellent introduction nonetheless... Newman’s well-written, cohesive presentation should be of great assistance to new and experienced researchers, ... Read more
