The setup of the puzzle is as follows. Walks on graphs and statistical mechanics. Applied probability theory, mathematical statistical mechanics. Classical phase transitions have thermal fluctuations as the main driving force for the transition. Topics from modern statistical mechanics are explored in 8.334: the hydrodynamic limit and classical field theories. In statistical mechanics phase transitions are associated with singularities in the free energy. August 12, 2010 by Qiaochu Yuan. Phase transitions and broken symmetries: universality, correlation functions, and scaling theory. Interacting particle systems, nonequilibrium phase transitions, hydrodynamic limits. Let G be a weighted undirected graph, e.g. Now that we know what order parameters are (see last lecture), we'll use the order parameter of a phase to construct the Landau free energy. Critical phenomena are what happens near a phase transition in statistical mechanics (stat mech is thermodynamics' sophisticated sibling). This classic text, first published in 3993, is designed for graduate physics courses in statistical mechanics. I finally learned the solution to a little puzzle that's been bothering me for awhile. The phase transition behavior has already been observed previously by Chatterjee and Varadhan, but the determination of the exact precise phase boundary is new.
