In the last decades statistical physics has proven to be a successful theoretical framework able to tackle central problems in physics but also in very disparate fields such as biology, computer science, economics, etc...
Explaining the theoretical developments that made such progress possible is the aim of these lectures.
Students will acquire a solid theoretical background —conceptual and methodological— which is useful in a very broad range of contexts and represents an important piece of modern theoretical physics.
A brief list of topics that will be addressed :
From random variables to random matrices : universal results and properties
Disordered systems
Random graphs and optimization problems
Out of equilibrium dynamics
TD 1 (solution of the last exercise)
Homework 1 (solution)
TD2
Homework 2 (solution)
TD3
Homework 3
Addendum to lecture 5 : a note detailing the connection between the Potts model and the percolation problem
TD4
