Introduction to the Replica Theory of Disordered Statistical Systems

Zusammenfassung This book describes the statistical mechanics of classical spin systems with quenched disorder. It is the first book to give a systematic description of the theory of critical phenomena in disordered systems. Ideal for graduate students and researchers in the field of statistical mechanics of disordered systems. Inhaltsverzeichnis Preface; 1. Introduction; Part I. Spin-Glass Systems: 2.
