Graphical representations of Ising and Potts models : stochastic geometry of the quantum Ising model and the space-time Potts model

Statistical physics seeks to explain macroscopic properties of matter in terms of microscopic interactions. Of particular interest is the phenomenon of phase transition: the sudden changes in macroscopic properties as external conditions are varied. Two models in particular are of great interest to...
