A 'statistical field theory' is any model in statistical mechanics where the degrees of freedom comprise a field or fields. In other words, the microstates of the system are the different configurations of a field. It is closely related to quantum field theory, which describes the quantum mechanics of fields, and shares with it many phenomena, such as renormalization.
In fact, by performing a Wick rotation from Minkowski space to Euclidean space, many results of statistical field theory can be applied directly to its quantum equivalent. The correlation functions of a statistical field theory are called Schwinger functions, and their properties are described by the Osterwalder–Schrader axioms.
Statistical field theory is also used to describe systems in polymer physics or biophysics, such as polymer films, nanostructured block copolymers[1] or polyelectrolytes[2].
