Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The papers included here deal with the many faces of renormalization group formalism as it is used in different branches of theoretical physics. The subjects covered emphasize various applications to the theory of turbulence, chaos, quantum chaos in dynamical systems, spin systems and vector models. Also discussed are applications to related topics such as quantum field theory and chromodynamics, high temperature superconductivity and plasma physics.
