Mathematical statistical mechanics. PH 682 - Advanced Statistical Methods and Phase Transitions. Should have a working knowledge of statistical mechanics on the intermediate level. The liquid-solid phase transition, Radin and Aristoff reason, should therefore be marked by the “shear response” of a material jumping from zero to a positive value. In 1989, I met Bill Kline, who was Once you think of them like that, you can describe them with a field theory, which is pretty much the same way they describe phase transitions in high-energy physics—the decay of the false vacuum in the early universe, for instance. I was doing classical geophysics until the mid-1980s when I became aware of this area called complexity and chaos theory, which sounded like statistical physics, a subject I had always enjoyed.

The positions are funded by the ERC starting grant “Phase transitions and computational complexity”. It has led to a number of surprising results in the application of thermodynamic concepts to small systems, with many contributions by workers in statistical mechanics.

Critical phenomena are what happens near a phase transition in statistical mechanics (stat mech is thermodynamics' sophisticated sibling). Entropy-driven phase transitions of entanglement. The crucial claim is that phase transitions are qualitative changes that cannot be reduced to fit the more fundamental explanatory principles of statistical mechanics.

For further discussion of these results The exact solutions of the two dimensional Ising model and the solutions of Lieb on two dimensional ice and ferroelectrics and of Baxter on the eight vertex model showed that phase transitions to an ordered phase could occur in two dimensions.
