The 5th Jerusalem Winter School in Theoretical Physics: Statistical Mechanics of Membranes and Surfaces | Israel Institute for Advanced Studies

The 5th Jerusalem Winter School in Theoretical Physics: Statistical Mechanics of Membranes and Surfaces

Date: 
Mon, 28/12/1987 to Wed, 06/01/1988
schools

Statistical Mechanics of Membranes and Surfaces

The Victor Rothschild Memorial Symposia

All lectures will take place at the Israel Institute for Advanced Studies,
at the Edmond J. Safra, Givat Ram Campus

General Director: Steven Weinberg, University of Texas at Austin

 

The School will explore the delicate interplay between geometry and statistical mechanics in these materials such as microemulsions, wetting and growth interfaces, bulk lyotropic liquid crystals, chalcogenide glasses and sheet polymers, using tools from the fields of polymer physics, of differential geometry and of critical phenomena.
