A field’s half-century, in research and recollection

Marking 50 years of the renormalization group and the 1972 Wilson–Fisher paper, this collection brings together articles on phase transitions and critical phenomena. Many contributions take a tutorial approach to developments in these fields, giving the volume a review-oriented structure alongside its commemorative purpose. Dedicated to Michael E. Fisher, the book also includes personal memories from people whose work was influenced by him. Its combination of scientific overviews and reflections on Fisher’s impact places the history of the research community alongside accounts of progress in the subject.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers seeking tutorial-style reviews of phase transitions and critical phenomena.
  • Researchers or students interested in the renormalization group and its development.
  • Those interested in Michael E. Fisher’s influence and recollections from colleagues.

Book overview

The contributions in the book are devoted to the memory of Michael E Fisher, and hence include many personal memories from people whose work was influenced by him. Also, the book is a collection of articles from leaders in the field of phase transitions and critical phenomena, to celebrate 50 years of the renormalization group and the 1972 paper by Wilson and Fisher. Many of the articles review, in tutorial form, the progress in the fields of phase transitions and the renormalization group.
