Scaling assumptions and probabilistic definitions are explored, offering guided examples for researchers and grad students.\u003cbr\u003eThis book introduces the mathematical ideas connecting Statistical Mechanics and Conformal Field Theory (CFT). Building advanced structures on top of more elementary ones, the authors map out a well-posed road from simple lattice models to CFTs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStructured in two parts, the book begins by exploring several two-dimensional lattice models, their phase transitions, and their conjectural connection with CFT. Through these lattice models and their local fields, the fundamental ideas and results of two-dimensional CFTs emerge, with a special emphasis on the Unitary Minimal Models of CFT. Delving into the delicate ideas that lead to the classification of these CFTs, the authors discuss the assumptions on the lattice models whose scaling limits are described by CFTs. This produces a probabilistic rather than an axiomatic or algebraic definition of CFTs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSuitable for graduate students and researchers in mathematics and physics, \u003ci\u003eLattice Models and Conformal Field Theory\u003c\/i\u003e introduces the ideas at the core of Statistical Field Theory. Assuming only undergraduate probability and complex analysis, the authors carefully motivate every argument and assumption made. Concrete examples and exercises allow readers to check their progress throughout.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55305018540406,"sku":"9781470456184","price":48.27,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_36019596.jpg?v=1757557741","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781470456184-lattice-models-and-conformal-field-theor","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
