Inhaltsangabe

The entire book is a proof of one theorem about the asymptotic shape of a droplet. The Wulff construction yields the shape of a crystal in equilibrium and allows one to understand its main features. An interesting phenomenon of crystals discussed is the roughening transition, that is when a facet of crystal disappears as temperature increases. Topics include external properties of the Wulff functional, limit theorems, surface tension, and large contours. No index. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
