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