1 de ago. de 2013 · Authors: Leo P. Kadanoff Comments: This note is partially a summary of a talk given at the workshop "Part and Whole" in Leiden during the period March 22-26, 2010 Subjects: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
Leo P. Kadanoff. For fundamental theoretical research in the areas of statistical, solid state and nonlinear physics and, in particular, for the development of scaling techniques in these fields. In physics, when boiling water turns to steam, a “second-order phase transition” has occurred. During the 1960s, scientists researched the ...
8 de jan. de 2016 · Leo P. Kadanoff, who died on October 26, 2015, devoted his scientific life to trying to elucidate how much of the world can be understood using mathematical models. Historically, physics has addressed this problem by searching for fundamental laws that completely specify the right ingredients to put into a theoretical model.
Leo Philip Kadanoff (New York, 14 januari 1937 – Chicago, 26 oktober 2015) was een Amerikaans natuurkundige. Hij was vooral actief op het gebied van de statistische natuurkunde , chaostheorie en de theoretische fysica van de gecondenseerde materie .
4 de nov. de 2015 · Leo Philip Kadanoff was born in New York City on Jan. 14, 1937. After attending public schools there, he received bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees from Harvard University.
Leo Kadanoff 1. Consider an Ising model on a lattice with spacing a, with Hamiltonian −βH = K X <ij> S iS j +h X i S i. We expect a second order phase transition to take place for K = K c ∼ O(1), h = 0. 2. Near the critical point, we want to construct an effective theory describing large-scale fluctuations, which we assume dominate the ...
Leo Kadanoff has worked in many fields of statistical mechanics. His contributions had an enormous impact. This holds in particular for critical phenomena, where he explained Widom’s homogeneity laws by means of block-spin transformations and laid the basis for Wilson’s renormalization group equation. I had the pleasure to work in his group for 1 year. A short historical account is given.
