Sources of predictability

James B. Hartle

Sources of predictability in the basic laws of physics are described in the most general theoretical context -- the quantum theory of the universe as a whole. (To appear in the Proceedings of the conference on Fundamental Sources of Unpredictability held at the Santa Fe Institute, March 28 to 30, 1996 to be published by Complexity.)

Renormalization Group in Critical Phenomena and Quantum Field Theory: Proceedings of a Conference. Held at Chestnut Hill, Pa. on 29-31 May 73.

J. D. Gunton, Green,M. S.

Because the origin of the renormalization group is in quantum field theory and more importantly because applications of the theory in phase transitions have reflected back into quantum field theory it was decided that the conference should cover the renormalization group in critical phenomena and quantum field theory. The conference took place at the Temple University Conference Center at Sugarloaf, Chestnut Hill, Pa on May 29, 30 and 31, 1973. The present publication is the Proceedings of the Conference.
