Statistical Mechanics is the study of systems where the number of
interacting particles becomes infinite. In the last fifty years
tremendous advances have been made which have required the
invention of entirely new fields of mathematics such as quantum
groups and affine Lie algebras. They have engendered remarkable
discoveries concerning non-linear differential equations and
algebraic geometry, and have produced profound insights in both
condensed matter physics and quantum field theory. Unfortunately,
none of these advances are taught in graduate courses in
statistical mechanics.
This book is an attempt to correct this problem. It begins with
theorems on the existence (and lack) of order for crystals and
magnets and with the theory of critical phenomena, and continues by
presenting the methods and results of fifty years of analytic and
computer computations of phase transitions. It concludes with an
extensive presentation of four of the most important of exactly
solved problems: the Ising, 8 vertex, hard hexagon and chiral Potts
models.
