together with Kenneth Wil-

Physics in the last quarter of the 20th
century,that deserved a Nobel Prize in
Physics (1982, to Ken Wilson). For his
work in this field, Prof. Fisher was
awarded with the Wolf Prize (1980,
shared with Ken Wilson and Leo
Kadanoff), the Boltzmann Medal
(1983) and the Onsager Prize (1995).
During his visit to Madrid, Prof.
