Clay Math Public Lecture: Self-avoiding walk, spin systems, and renormalisation
- π€ Speaker: Gordon Slade (University of British Columbia)
- π Date & Time: Wednesday 24 July 2024, 16:00 - 17:00
- π Venue: Seminar Room 1, Newton Institute
Abstract
The subject of critical phenomena in statistical mechanics is a rich source of interesting and difficult mathematical problems that touch on combinatorics, probability, and mathematical physics. Self-avoiding walks and lattice spin systems provide fundamental examples. This talk will address recent progress in computing critical exponents for these models, using a rigorous version of Wilson’s renormalisation group method.
Series This talk is part of the Isaac Newton Institute Seminar Series series.
