Synopsis
More than two-dozen contributions from international researchers report on the state of the art in statistical field theories. They discuss new methods of solution, including current developments in conformal field theory. Other topics include, for example, boundary effects in integrable models and condensed matter systems with quenched disorder. The volume concludes with a section devoted mostly to the quantum Hall effect and its many facets. The editors are with the National Institute of Nuclear Physics in Italy.
