Dynamic and Renormalization-Group Extensions of the Landau Theory of Critical Phenomena

Dynamic and Renormalization-Group Extensions of the Landau Theory of Critical Phenomena

We place the Landau theory of critical phenomena into the larger context of multiscale thermodynamics. The thermodynamic potentials, with which the Landau theory begins, arise as Lyapunov like functions in the investigation of the relations among different levels of description. By seeing the renorm...
