Field Theoretical Tools for Polymer and Particle Physics [electronic resource] /
Meyer-Ortmanns, Hildegard.editor.
Klümper, Andreas.editor.
The book is written for advanced graduate students. The topics have been selected to present methods and models that have applications in both particle physics and polymer physics. The lectures may serve as a guide through more recent research activities and illustrate the applicability of joint methods in different contexts. The book deals with analytic tools (e.g. random walk models, polymer expansion), numerical tools (e.g. Langevin dynamics), and common models (the three-dimensional Gross-Neveu-Model).
