Description

In THE PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS, Vol. 28, N. 9, 28 february 1972, pp. 548-551, the entire issue in original printed wrappers. A very fine copy, ownership inscription. FIRST EDITION. Kenneth Wilson received the 1982 Nobel Prize in physics for his theory of phase transitions based on what is called the renormalization group. He built on previous work by Leo Kadanoff and Michael Fisher, with whom he shared the 1980 Wolf Prize. Wilson’s Nobel Prize winning work was published in 1971 in Physical Review B [PRB 4, 3174, and PRB 4, 3184]. In the Letters quoted here several consequences of the work in the PRB publications were developed and were used in much future research. An excellent, accessible summary of the background and content of Wilson’s research and of its impact is available in the Nobel committee’s 1982 press release.
