Modern Theory of Critical Phenomena
Abstract
Shang-Keng Ma London: W A Benjamin 1976 pp xxix + 561 price £17.15 ( cased ), £9.40 ( paperback ) This book should become an extremely valuable introduction to the renormalization group approach to critical phenomena, as developed by Wilson and others in the past few years. It covers most of the standard material in an elegant and carefully argued fashion, and should enable the reader to tackle the latest research literature.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
