Explores renormalization, scaling, critical points, exponents, and phase transitions in conformal field theory and quantum gravity.
Covers the basics of statistical field theory, focusing on Ising models and the Ginsburg-Landau theory.
Explores phase transitions in the Ising model, mean magnetization, susceptibility, critical exponents, and the universality of critical exponents.
Introduces the Potts model, a generalization of the Ising model used in statistical mechanics to study phase transitions.
Explores phase transitions, critical points, opalescence, and metastability in substances.
