The Functional Renormalization Group Treatment of Disordered Systems: a Review
Kay Joerg Wiese
We review current progress in the functional renormalization group treatment of disordered systems. After an elementary introduction into the phenomenology, we show why in the cont…
Disordered Systems and the Functional Renormalization Group: A Pedagogical Introduction
Kay Joerg Wiese
In this article, we review basic facts about disordered systems, especially the existence of many metastable states and and the resulting failure of dimensional reduction. Besides…
Principles of non-local field theories and their application to polymerized membranes
Kay Joerg Wiese
In these lecture notes, we give an overview about non-local field-theories and their application to polymerized membranes, i.e. membranes with a fixed internal connectivity. The ma…
Polymerized Membranes, a Review
Kay Joerg Wiese
Membranes are of great technological and biological as well as theoretical interest. Two main classes of membranes can be distinguished: Fluid membranes and polymerized, tethered m…
