Miscellaneous Aspects of Supersymmetry in Statistical Physics (II)

 

Prof Edouard Brézin 
Ecole Normale Supérieure
(Visiting Professor of HKUST Jockey Club Institute for Advanced Study)

 

17 June 2013 (Monday)
3:00 - 4:30 pm
Room 2404 (2/F via Lifts 17-18), HKUST

Abstract:

The speaker will review a few exercises on supersymmetric quantum mechanics and the application to the Fokker‐Planck equation. But most of the lectures will be devoted to dimensional reduction through SUSY: He will discuss the random field Ising model, where it fails, branched polymers and the Lee‐Yang edge singularity, a SUSY classical gas, where dimensional reduction does work, and if there is time a study of Landau levels with impurities, applications to random matrix theory and sigma models for disordered systems.
