This is the home page of the course "Statistical Physics: Concepts and Applications", that I teach this year for the first time to the ICFP first-year Master students at ENS. Tutorial sessions are assured by Maurizio Fagotti, JRC laureate researcher at the ENS Department of Physics, and world-wide expert in Statistical Mechanics.

Contents

Week 1: The power of statistical physics

Lecture: The power of statistics (Mathematical aspects).

Tutorial: Convolution, central limit theorem, Levy distributions.

Week 2: Phase transitions, general theorems

Lecture: Hard spheres in 2d, 1d: virial, depletion, absence of transition.

==Tutorial: Presence / Absence of transition in 1d systems. Kittel model, etc

Week 3: Classical Ising model

Lecture: Exact computations in the two-dimensional Ising model (Kac-Ward)

preliminary lecture notes of Week 3 CM - Kac-Ward solution

Tutorial: Exact computations in the one-dimensional Ising model (transfer matrix)

Week 4: Classical/Quantum Ising model
