Advanced statistical physics

This course covers advanced topics in Statistical Physics. It assumes a very good knowledge of the Statistical Physics concepts and methods taught in standard lectures at the M1 level.

We strongly suggest the students who do not have a strong background in Statistical Physics to profit from the summer break and acquire it. Any standard Statistical Physics textbook should be helpful.

We have also prepared an exercise sheet Math Support with definitions and problems. It focuses on the mathematical tools needed before the beginning of our lectures and exercise sessions. We strongly suggest the students to work on these problems as a preparation for our course. We will not explicitly correct these exercises but we will assume that the students are already proficient at using these methods.

Final mark: 20% homework during Autumn break, 80% final written exam which will cover conceptual questions and some exercises

Lectures: Monday 8:30 - 10:30 salle (see planning and map of Jussieu)
Exercises: Monday 10:45 - 12:45 salles (see planning and map of Jussieu)

You can write in English or French, as you prefer.
No books, notes, calculator nor mobile phone allowed.
Not only the results but also the clarity and relevance of the explanations will be evaluated.
Focus on the questions asked and answer them (and not some other issue).
If doubt exists as to the interpretation of any question, the candidate is urged to consult the examiners in the room
and to submit with the answer paper a clear statement of any assumptions made.

Disordered Systems

2023-2024
Thursday 13:45 - 15:45 at Université Paris Cité Salle

This year I will center my lectures around the description of the so-called "disordered systems". The choice is timely, given the 2021 Nobel Prize attributed to G. Parisi.

I will cover static and dynamics aspects. I will orient you towards my lecture notes and bibliographical references.
