SUMMARY:Clay Math Public Lecture: Self-avoiding walk\, spin systems\, and 
 renormalisation - Gordon Slade (University of British Columbia)
DTSTART:20240724T150000Z

UID:TALK216127@talks.cam.ac.uk
DESCRIPTION:The subject of critical phenomena in statistical mechanics is 
 a rich source of interesting and difficult mathematical problems that touc
 h on combinatorics\, probability\, and mathematical physics. Self-avoiding
  walks and lattice spin systems provide fundamental examples. This talk wi
 ll address recent progress in computing critical exponents for these model
 s\, using a rigorous version of Wilson's renormalisation group method.&nbs
