Phase transitions are a central theme of statistical physics. In this course, we will discuss a canonical probabilistic framework, known as spin systems, for understanding phase transitions. These are large random systems of interacting spins assigned to the vertices of some underlying graph; well-known examples include percolation, the Ising and Potts models, and spin glasses. In this course, we will focus on understanding the rich phenomenology of the phase transitions spin systems undergo on integer lattices in dimensions two and higher, focusing primarily on percolation and the Ising model.
