Learning outcomes
At the end of the course, the student knows the mathematical concepts at the foundation of statistical mechanics and is able to study analytically a large class of interacting models, including their critical phenomena.
Course contents
We will study the theoretical foundations of classical and quantum statistical mechanics also for non-equilibrium systems.
The topics will include:

- Transport; linear response theory;
- Master equation; brownian motion;
- Phase transitions out of equilibrium.
