    COHERENT ANOMALY METHOD
    Mean Field, Fluctuations and Systematics

    by M Suzuki (University of Tokyo)

    This book presents a systematic and coherent approach to phase transitions and critical phenomena, namely the coherent-anomaly method (CAM theory) based on cluster mean-field approximations. The first part gives a brief review of the CAM theory and the second part a collection of reprints covering the CAM basic calculations, the Blume–Emery–Griffiths model, the extended Baxter model, the quantum Heisenberg model, zero-temperature phase transitions, the KT-transition, spin glasses, the self-avoiding walk, contact processes, branching processes, the gas–liquid transition and even non-equilibrium phase transitions.

     
    Contents:
    • Introduction to Phase Transitions
    • Basic Scheme of the CAM Theory
    • Extensions of Mean-Field Approximations
    • Non-Universal Critical Phenomena
    • Spin Glasses
    • CAM in Quantum Spin Systems
    • Percolation, SAW and DLA
    • Stochastic Processes
     
    Readership: Graduate students in materials science, mathematical physics, statistical mechanics and statistical physics.
     
    “The student can learn a great deal not only from the 90-page review by Suzuki himself, but also by studying the original reprinted sources.”
