Products of Random Matrices: In Statistical Physics

by Andrea Crisanti, Giovanni Paladin, Angelo Vulpiani

At the present moment, after the success of the renormalization group in providing a conceptual framework for studying second-order phase tran- sitions, we have a nearly satisfactory understanding of the statistical me- chanics of classical systems with a non-random Hamiltonian. The situation is completely different if we consider the theory of systems with a random Hamiltonian or of chaotic dynamical systems. The two fields are connected; in fact,...
