This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract. This is the first part of an oral history interview on the life- long involvement of Joel Lebowitz in the development of statistical mechanics. Here the covered topics include the formative years, which overlapped the tragic period of Nazi power and World War II in Eu- rope, the emigration to the United States in 1946 and the schooling there. It also includes the beginnings and early scientific works with Peter Bergmann, Oliver Penrose and many others. The second part will appear in a forthcoming issue of Eur. Phys. J. H. 1 From war ravaged Europe to New York L. B. Let’s start from the very beginning. Where were you born? J. L. I was born in Taceva, a small town in the Carpathian mountains, in an area which was at that time part of Czechoslovakia, on the border of Romania and about a hundred kilometers from Poland. That was in 1930, and the town then had a population of about ten thousand people, a small town, but fairly advanced.

    09W5055 Statistical Mechanics on Random Structures

    09w5055 Statistical Mechanics on Random Structures Anton Bovier (Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universitat¨ Bonn), Pierluigi Contucci (University of Bologna), Frank den Hollander (University of Leiden and EURANDOM), Cristian Giardina` (TU Eindhoven and EURANDOM). 15 November - 20 November 2009 1 Overview of the Field The theme of the workshop has been equilibrium and non-equilibrium statistical mechanics in a random spatial setting. Put differently, the question was what happens when the world of interacting particle systems is put together with the world of disordered media. This area of research is lively and thriving, with a constant flow of new ideas and exciting developments, in the best of the tradition of mathematical physics. Spin glasses were at the core of the program, but in a broad sense. Spin glass theory has found ap- plications in a wide range of areas, including information theory, coding theory, algorithmics, complexity, random networks, population genetics, epidemiology and finance. This opens up many new challenges to mathematics. 2 Recent Developments and Open Problems The workshop brought together researchers whose interest lies at the intersection of disordered statistical mechanics and random graph theory, with a clear emphasis on applications. The multidisciplinary nature of the proposed topics has attracted research groups with different backgrounds and thus provided exchange of ideas with cross-fertilisation. As an example, we mention two problems on which we focused during the workshop. The first problem has its origin in the many fundamental issues that are still open in the theory of spin glasses. Even tough today we have a rigorous proof, in the context of mean-field models, of the solution for the free energy first proposed by G.

    A mathematical physicist’s perspective on Statistical Mechanics Michael Aizenman Princeton University André Aisenstadt Lecture (I) CRM, Montreal Sept. 24, 2018 1 /14 Statistical mechanics explains and quantifies the process by which structure emerges from chaos. Its genesis is in Boltzmann’s explanation of thermodynamical behavior and in particular of the concept of entropy. The statistic mechanical perspective was instrumental for Planck’s theory of the light quantization and Einstein’s calculation of the Avogadro number. More recent developments include links between the physics of critical phenomena and the mathematics of conformally invariant random structures, stochastic integrability, and representation theory. The talk will focus on examples of observations and conjectures which turned out to point in fruitful directions. 2 /14 Statistical Mechanics: laws emerging from chaos Laws expressed in equations F = ma, E = mc2, PV = nRT .

    On Spin Systems with Quenched Randomness: Classical and Quantum

    On Spin Systems with Quenched Randomness: Classical and Quantum Rafael L. Greenblatt(a) ∗ Michael Aizenman(b) y Joel L. Lebowitz(c)∗ (a) Department of Physics and Astronomy Rutgers University, Piscataway NJ 08854-8019, USA (b) Departments of Physics and Mathematics Princeton University, Princeton NJ 08544, USA (a) Departments of Mathematics and Physics Rutgers University, Piscataway NJ 08854-8019, USA December 5, 2009 Dedicated to Nihat Berker on the occasion of his 60th birthday Abstract The rounding of first order phase transitions by quenched randomness is stated in a form which is applicable to both classical and quantum systems: The free energy, as well as the ground state energy, of a spin system on a d-dimensional lattice is continuously differentiable with respect to any parameter in the Hamiltonian to which some randomness has been added when d ≤ 2. This implies absence of jumps in the associated order parameter, e.g., the magnetization in case of a random magnetic field. A similar result applies in cases of continuous symmetry breaking for d ≤ 4. Some questions concerning the behavior of related order parameters in such random systems are discussed. 1 Introduction The effect of quenched randomness on the equilibrium and transport properties of macroscopic systems is a subject of great theoretical and practical interest which is close to Nihat’s heart. He and his collaborators [1, 2, 3] made important contributions to the study of the changes brought about by such randomness in phase transitions occurring in the pure (non-random) system. These effects can be profound in low dimensions. Their understanding evolved in a somewhat interesting way.
