Princeton University Department of Physics Donald R. Hamilton Colloquium Series
Probabilistic Approach to Critical Phenomena in Statistical Physics
The talk will present some of the recent progress in mathematical studies of critical phenomena of classical statistical mechanical systems. Through the relation of quantum systems to classical systems in d+1 dimensions, some of these new results also yield new understanding of the ground states of a class of quantum spin chains with a projection based Hamiltonian.
