Phase Transitions in Statistical Mechanics

Explores the Renormalization Group in field theory, discussing scaling functions, critical exponents, and Gaussian fixed points.

Covers the Curie-Weiss model, discussing its theoretical foundations and practical applications in physical systems.

Explores spherical symmetry in statistical mechanics and its role in phase transitions.

Explores phase transitions in the Ising model, mean magnetization, susceptibility, critical exponents, and the universality of critical exponents.

Explores renormalization, scaling, critical points, exponents, and phase transitions in conformal field theory and quantum gravity.
