Fluctuation - induced forces in critical fluids

Abstract

The current knowledge about fluctuation - induced long - ranged forces is summarized. Reference is made in particular to fluids near critical points, for which some new insight has been obtained recently. Where appropiate, results of analytic theory are compared with computer simulations and experiments.
