Scale Invariance and Beyond: Les Houches Workshop, March 10–14, 1997: 7 (Centre de Physique des Houches, 7) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book is an excellent introduction to the concept of scale invariance, which is a growing field of research with wide applications. It describes where and how symmetry under scale transformation (and its various forms of partial breakdown) can be used to analyze solutions of a problem without the need to explicitly solve it. The first part gives descriptions of tools and concepts; the second is devoted to recent attempts to go beyond the invariance or symmetry breaking, to discuss causes and consequences, and to extract useful information about the system. Examples are carefully worked out in fields as diverse as condensed matter physics, population dynamics, earthquake physics, turbulence, cosmology and finance.

INTRODUCTION In physics, any symmetry is a bargain. It provides tools to analyze the solutions of a problem without need to explicitly solve the problem, or it can also suggest methods to simplify the problem. In real life, boundary conditions or even physical processes themselves break the initial beautiful symmetry. One has to deal with 'approximate symmetry' and means to obtain useful informations from this broken symmetry have to be built. The topic of the school held in Les Houches in March 1997 is the illustration of these general ideas in the case of scale symmetry. Part of the school involved descriptions of tools or concepts used in scale invariant systems, and examples pertaining to them ('Scale Invariance . '); the second half was devoted to recent attempts to go beyond the invariance or symmetry breaking, discuss causes and consequences, and extract useful informations about the system (' . and beyond'). 308 pp. Englisch.
