In and Out of Equilibrium

For more than two decades percolation theory, random walks, interacting parti­ cle systems and topics related to statistical mechanics have experienced inten­ sive growth. In the last several years, especially remarkable progress has been made in a number of directions, such as: Wulff constructions above two dimen­ sions for percolation, Potts and Ising models, classification of random walks in random environments, better understanding of fluctuations in two dimen­ sional growth processes, the i
