@ARTICLE{pelissetto2002critical,
AUTHOR = {Andrea Pelissetto and Ettore Vicari},
TITLE = {Critical phenomena and renormalization-group theory},
JOURNAL = {Physics Reports},
YEAR = {2002},
VOLUME = {368},
NUMBER = {6},

ABSTRACT = {We review results concerning the critical behavior
of spin systems at equilibrium. We consider the
Ising and the general O(N)-symmetric universality
classes, including the Nrightwards arrow0 limit that
describes the critical behavior of self-avoiding
walks. For each of them, we review the estimates of
the critical exponents, of the equation of state, of
several amplitude ratios, and of the two-point
function of the order parameter. We report results
in three and two dimensions. We discuss the
crossover phenomena that are observed in this class
of systems. In particular, we review the
field-theoretical and numerical studies of systems
with medium-range interactions. Moreover, we
consider several examples of magnetic and structural
phase transitions, which are described by more
complex Landau¯Ginzburg¯Wilson Hamiltonians, such as
N-component systems with cubic anisotropy,
O(N)-symmetric systems in the presence of quenched
disorder, frustrated spin systems with noncollinear
or canted order, and finally, a class of systems
described by the tetragonal Landau¯Ginzburg¯Wilson
Hamiltonian with three quartic couplings. The
results for the tetragonal Hamiltonian are original,
in particular we present the six-loop perturbative
series for the small beta, Greek-functions. Finally,
we consider a Hamiltonian with symmetry O(n1)plus
sign in circleO(n2) that is relevant for the
description of multicritical phenomena. }

TITLE = {Effective interactions in soft condensed matter
physics },
JOURNAL = {Physics Reports},
YEAR = {2001},
VOLUME = {348},
NUMBER = {4--5},
PAGES = {267-439},
MONTH = {July},
PDF = {/sci_docs/physics/papers/PhysRep/likos2001effective.pdf},
ROPSECTIONS = {RG POLYMER},
ABSTRACT = {In this work, we present a review of recently
achieved progress in the field of soft condensed
matter physics, and in particular on the study of
the static properties of solutions or suspensions of
colloidal particles. The latter are macromolecular
entities with typical sizes ranging from 1 nm to 1
small mu, Greekm and their suspension typically
contain, in addition to the solvent, smaller
components such as salt ions or free polymer
chains. The theoretical tool introduced is the
effective Hamiltonian which formally results by a
canonical trace over the smaller degrees of freedom
for a fixed, "frozen" configuration of the large
ones. After presenting the formal definitions of
this effective Hamiltonian, we proceed with the
applications to some common soft matter systems
having a variable softness and ranging from free
polymer chains to hard colloidal particles. We begin
from the extreme case of nondiverging effective
interactions between ultrasoft polymer chains and
derive an exact criterion to determine the topology
of the phase diagrams of such systems. We use star
polymers with a variable arm number f as a hybrid
system in order to interpolate between these two
extremes. By deriving an effective interaction
between stars we can monitor the change in the phase
behavior of a system as the steepness of the
repulsion between its constituent particles
increases. We also review recent results on the
nature and the effects of short-range attractions on
the phase diagrams of spherical, nonoverlapping
colloidal particles.}

VOLUME = {24},

PDF = {/sci_docs/physics/papers/ProgPolymerSci/aksimentiev1999single.pdf},
ABSTRACT = {In this review we study the behavior of a single
labelled polymer chain in various polymer systems:
polymer blends, diblock copolymers, gradient
copolymers, ring copolymers, polyelectrolytes,
grafted homopolymers, rigid nematogenic polymers,
polymers in bad and good solvents, fractal polymers
and polymers in fractal environments. We discuss
many phenomena related to the single chain behavior,
such as: collapse of polymers in bad solvents,
protein folding, stretching of polymer brushes,
coil¯rod transition in nematogenic main-chain
polymers, knot formation in homopolymer melts, and
shrinking and swelling of polymers at temperatures
close to the bulk transition temperatures. Our
description is mesoscopic, based on two models of
polymer systems: the Edwards model with Fixman delta
interactions, and the Landau¯Ginzburg model of phase
transitions applied to polymers. In particular, we
show the derivation of the Landau¯Ginzburg model
from the Edwards model in the case of homopolymer
blends and diblock copolymer melts. In both models,
we calculate the radius of gyration and relate them
to the correlation function for a single polymer
chain. We discuss theoretical results as well as
computer simulations and experiments.},

ABSTRACT = { We present a scaling Ansatz for the distribution
function of the shortest paths connecting any two
points on a percolating cluster which accounts for
(i) the e ect of the nite size of the system, and
(ii) the dependence of this distribution on the site
occupancy probability p. We present evidence
supporting the scaling Ansatz for the case of
two-dimensional percolation.}
