Conformal Invariance and Critical Phenomena [E-Book] / by Malte Henkel.
This book provides an introduction to conformal field theory and a review of its applications to critical phenomena in condensed-matter systems. After reviewing simple phase transitions and explaining the foundations of conformal invariance and the algebraic methods required, it proceeds to the expl...
