Rado Lecture 2 - Thomas Spencer
Title: Duality and Symmetry in Statistical Mechanics and Random MatricesSpeaker: Thomas Spencer, Institute for Advanced StudyAbstract: I will introduce some basic models of interacting spins on a lattice and describe transitions from order to disorder. Spins will typically take values in a symmetric space such as the circle or sphere. Duality and symmetry play a central role in the description and analysis of phase transitions. Universality at the critical and low temperatures is described. 2013 Rado Lecture Poster
