Title Renormalization Group Analysis of Nonequilibrium Phase Transitions in Driven Disordered Systems Author(s) Haga, Taiki Publication Singapore, Springer Singapore, 2019. Description XIII, 156 p. 38 illus., 27 illus. in color : online resource Abstract Note This book investigates phase transitions and critical phenomena in disordered systems driven out of equilibrium. First, the author derives a dimensional reduction property that relates the long-distance physics of driven disordered systems to that of lower dimensional pure systems. By combining this property with a modern renormalization group technique, the critical behavior of random field spin models driven at a uniform velocity is subsequently investigated. The highlight of this book is that the driven random field XY model is shown to exhibit the Kosterlitz???Thouless transition in three dimensions. This is the first example of topological phase transitions in which the competition between quenched disorder and nonequilibrium driving plays a crucial role. The book also includes a pedagogical review of a renormalizaion group technique for disordered systems. ISBN,Price 9789811361715 Keyword(s) 1. EBOOK 2. EBOOK - SPRINGER 3.
