Wilson: a renormalization-group description of critical phenomena

Expresses Kadanoff scaling near an Ising ferromagnet’s critical point as renormalization-group differential equations and relates scaling laws to fixed points.

What is recorded here?

Expresses Kadanoff scaling near an Ising ferromagnet’s critical point as renormalization-group differential equations and relates scaling laws to fixed points.

Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.

Scientific scope

Limited to the first 1971 paper and its analyticity and fixed-point assumptions. Kadanoff, Widom and other precursors remain cited in the original. This is not a complete solution of all phase transitions or a proof of the Yang–Mills Millennium problem.

Read the original work

This English explanation is an editorial reading view. It does not replace the complete original work or certify its science.
