Scaling Limits of Disordered Systems
Offered By: Institut des Hautes Etudes Scientifiques (IHES) via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore recent findings on scaling limits of disordered systems and their implications in this 51-minute lecture by Quentin Berger from Sorbonne Université. Delve into the Poland-Scheraga model, also known as the pinning model, which is used to describe DNA denaturation. Examine how disorder affects the phase transition in this model. Learn about results obtained from a generalized, potentially more realistic version of the model, developed in collaboration with Alexandre Legrand from Université Lyon 1. Gain insights into the complex interplay between disorder and phase transitions in statistical physics models relevant to biological systems.
