Group theory and phase transitions

Marko V. Jarić

Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 1982, vol. 114, issue 1, 550-556

Abstract: Group-theoretical implications in the Landau theory of phase transitions are reviewed. Notwithstanding the large amount of work mainly concerned with construction of the Landau thermodynamic potential, this review emphasizes the group-theoretical aspects of the actual minimization of the potential. The progress of the last few decades is reviewed and some open questions stated.
