Probability, Conformal Invariance, and Critical Phenomena in Statistical Physics

Explore the intersection of probability theory, conformal invariance, and critical phenomena in statistical physics through this illuminating lecture by Gregory Lawler from the University of Chicago. Delve into advanced mathematical concepts and their applications in understanding complex physical systems at critical points. Gain insights into how conformal invariance plays a crucial role in describing phase transitions and scaling behaviors in statistical mechanics models. Discover the latest developments in this field and their implications for both theoretical physics and applied mathematics during this 42-minute presentation at the Fields Institute.
