Explores the Nobel Prize-winning discovery of replica and cavity methods in complex systems, focusing on the random energy model and the application of probability theory.
Covers the basics of statistical field theory, focusing on Ising models and the Ginsburg-Landau theory.
Explores phase transitions, critical points, opalescence, and metastability in substances.
Explores critical exponents in ferromagnets, different models like Heisenberg, XY, and Ising, and their significance in various systems.
Introduces block spin renormalization and scaling variables in the Ising model, focusing on RG fixed points and critical exponents.
