Fifty years of the renormalization group
It is now 50 years after the seminal paper by Wilson and Fisher on the epsilon-expansion. Also, Michael Fisher died last year, after a long career in statistical physics. This section is aimed to review the impact of Michael Fisher and of the renormalization group on statistical physics, with emphasis on recent developments.
