Quantum & Classical Statistical Physics Seminar

In this series of seminars we invite speakers to talk about different topics of current interest on Statistical Physics bi-weekly, usually on Thursday. Researchers from different Mexican or foreign universities are invited to give colloquium and also to present their work. Students are also welcome to present their work in this seminar. 

Please check our YouTube page to watch all the previous talks.

Introduction to renormalization group theory

Speaker: Dalia Hernandez

Date: 5 December 2024, 4:00 pm (GMT-6)

Auditorium Z, CUCEI.  (Youtube Link)         

Abstract

The renormalization group (RG) is a mathematical technique  which involves changing the length scale of a system while simultaneously rescaling its physical parameters to maintain the same overall behavior. This process reveals the system's self-similarity and critical behavior,  we will see how this process allow the understanding of phase transitions and the calculation of critical exponents.
