Perturbation Theory Methods Applied to Critical Phenomena
نویسنده
چکیده
Different perturbation theory treatments of the Ginzburg–Landau phase transition model are discussed. This includes a criticism of the perturbative renormalization group (RG) approach and a proposal of a novel method providing critical exponents consistent with the known exact solutions in two dimensions. The new values of critical exponents are discussed and compared to the results of numerical simulations and experiments.

Monte Carlo Renormalization Group Analysis of Lattice φ 4 Model in D = 3 , 4
We formulate theoretical basis of recently proposed finite-size scaling method for estimation and elimination of sub-leading scaling field in Monte Carlo simulation of critical phenomena. We also applied the finite-size scaling method to D = 3, 4 lattice φ 4 model, and obtained renormalization flow diagram of leading and sub-leading scaling field. For D = 4, result is compared to finite-size pe...
متن کاملIntroduction to Schramm-Loewner evolution and its application to critical systems
In this short review we look at recent advances in Schramm-Loewner Evolution (SLE) theory and its application to critical phenomena. The application of SLE goes beyond critical systems to other time dependent, scale invariant phenomena such as turbulence, sand-piles and watersheds. Through the use of SLE, the evolution of conformally invariant paths on the complex plane can be followed; hence a...
متن کاملAnalytic Equation of State for the Square-well Plus Sutherland Fluid from Perturbation Theory
Analytic expressions were derived for the compressibility factor and residual internal energy of the square-well plus Sutherland fluid. In this derivation, we used the second order Barker-Henderson perturbation theory based on the macroscopic compressibility approximation together with an analytical expression for radial distribution function of the reference hard sphere fluid. These properties...
متن کاملCritical exponents from five-loop strong-coupling φ4-theory in 4 − ε dimensions
Recently, one of us [1, 2] has developed a new approach to critical exponents of field theories based on the strong-coupling limit of variational perturbation expansions [3] and [4]3. This limit is relevant for critical phenomena if the renormalization constants are expressed in terms of the unrenormalized coupling constant. The theory was first applied successfully to O(N)symmetric φ4-theories...
متن کاملNonlinear analysis of radially functionally graded hyperelastic cylindrical shells with axially-varying thickness and non-uniform pressure loads based on perturbation theory
In this study, nonlinear analysis for thick cylindrical pressure vessels with arbitrary variable thickness made of hyperelastic functionally graded material properties in nearly incompressible state and clamped boundary conditions under non-uniform pressure loading is presented. Thickness and pressure of the shell are considered in axial direction by arbitrary nonlinear profiles. The FG materia...
