The second volume covers diverse topics, including strong coupling expansions and their analysis, Monte Carlo simulations, two-dimensional conformal field theory, and simple disordered systems. The book concludes with a chapter on random geometry and the Polyakov model of random surfaces, which illustrates the relations between string theory and statistical physics. | Statistical Field Theory: Volume 2 Strong Coupling Monte Carlo Methods Conformal Field Theory and Random Systems by Claude Itzykson, Paperback
