by Gesualdo Delfino



4-state Potts model;re

 


This course aims to introduce the modern field theory formulation of the statistical models near their critical point.

Main topics


  • Scaling, renormalization and space of theories
  • Integrable quantum field theories in two dimensions
  • Particles and operators
  • Exact and factorizable S-matrices
  • Form Factors and off-critical correlation functions
  • Sum rules
  • Exact description of universality classes (Ising, Potts, Ashkin-Teller, percolation, self-avoiding walks, ...)
