Universality in the 2D Coulomb Gas
| SPECIAL MATHEMATICAL PHYSICS SEMINAR | |
| Topic: | Universality in the 2D Coulomb Gas |
| Speaker: | Pierluigi Falco |
| Affiliation: | Member, School of Mathematics |
| Date: | Wednesday, April 20 |
| Time/Room: | 2:00pm - 3:00pm/S-101 |
The Coulomb Gas is a model of Statistical Mechanics with a special type of phase transition. In the first part of the talk I will review the expected features conjectured by physicists and the few mathematical results so far obtained. The second part will be an introductory discussion of a general technique (Renormalization Group) to approach the problem.
