285110 Statistical Mechanics II (V) (SoSe 2024)

Contents, comment

This lecture aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of phase transtitions, the renormalization group, and statistical field theory. It will expand on the material taught in Statistical Mechanics I.

Content of the lecture:
- Introduction to phase transitions and critical phenomena.
- Landau theory, Meanfield theory, Ginzburg criterion
- Universallity, scaling hypothesis, renormalization group
- Perturbation theory: Diagrammatic expansions, epsilon-expansions.
- Statistical models, Lattice Models, Monte-Carlo simulations, finite-size scaling.
- Low temperatures and high temperatures expansion, duality
- Dynamic universality classes

The binding module descriptions contain further information, including specifications on the "types of assignments" students need to complete. In cases where a module description mentions more than one kind of assignment, the respective member of the teaching staff will decide which task(s) they assign the students.
