'Kenneth Wilson was a brilliant and creative contributor to the work on
renormalization groups and phase transitions. He applied his
multifaceted genius to condensed matter physics as well as nuclear and
elementary particle physics.'by Murray Gell-MannThe purpose of bringing
out this volume is to commemorate the memory of Ken Wilson and to
preserve the legacy of his ground-breaking advances. This volume brings
together a collection of articles written by colleagues of Ken Wilson as
well as fellow physicists and scholars -- some of who knew him
personally and others who are knowledgeable about his sterling
contributions to the foundations of theoretical physics.To commemorate
the memory of Ken Wilson, many leading and illustrious physicists have
contributed to this volume -- Ian Affleck, Belal E Baaquie, Ken Bowler,
Édouard Brézin, Tohru Eguchi, Michael E Fisher, Paul Ginsparg, Domenico
Giuliano, Stanislaw Glazek, Bailin Hao, Kerson Huang, Roman Jackiw,
