Title: Recent advances in field theory and statistical mechanics. Développements récents en théorie des champs et mécanique statistique. Université de Grenoble Les Houches Session XXXIX 2 Août - 10 Septembre 1982.
Description: Amsterdam, North-Holland [Elsevier Science Publishers], 1984. Thick 8vo (22.4 x 15.2 cm). xxx, 870 pp. Several photos, numerous text figures. Original printed cloth. = A rarely seen publication. The conference was attended by 59 physicists, and 11 courses and six seminars were held. Themes discussed and papers published dealt with field theories and phase transitions; the principles of instanton calculus, perturbative approach to surface fluctuations, chiral symmetry and chiral symmetry breaking, lattice gauge theory approach to quantum chromodynamics, random lattice field theory, integrable models in (1+1)-dimensional quantum field theory, etc., etc. Stamp on title, otherwise as new.
