The first chapter constitutes a good introduction to statistical mechanics with a discussion of modelling principles, partition functions and Hamiltonians, lattices, statistical mechanics functions such as free energy. There are good general discussions of phase transitions, order parameters and critical exponents. Then the Potts models are defined and related to dichromatic polynomials and to the special case of the Ising model. The chapter ends with a discussion of block spin renormalization ... This book is a fine source of basic results about the Potts model and its mathematical physics environment.\"  Mathematical Reviews","brand":"World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51047208386903,"sku":"9789810200756","price":97.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9789810200756.jpg?v=1750970678","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/potts-models-and-related-problems-in-statistical-mechanics-9789810200756","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
