What We Are Reading Today: ‘The Renormalization Group and Condensed Matter Physics’

Authors: David Nelson & Grace H. Zhang 

Renormalization group ideas have had a major impact on condensed matter physics for more than a half century.

This book develops the theory and illustrates the broad applicability of the renormalization group to major problems in condensed matter physics.

Based on course materials developed and class-tested by the authors at Harvard University, the book will be especially useful for students, as well as researchers.
