Statistical Field Theory: Strong Coupling, Monte Carlo Methods, Conformal Field Theory, and Random Systems

The second volume covers diverse topics, including strong coupling expansions and their analysis, Monte Carlo simulations, two-dimensional conformal field theory, and simple disordered systems. The book concludes with a chapter on random geometry and the Polyakov model of random surfaces, which illustrates the relations between string theory and statistical physics.
