Conoscenze e abilità da conseguire
At the end of the course the student will acquire some knowledge about the physics of strongly interacting many body systems. More specifically he/she will be able to use both exact and approximation methods for the study of phase transitions and critical phenomena. These techniques will be seen in action by analysing some paradigmatic models, both in the classical and in the quantum setting.

Modalità di verifica e valutazione dell'apprendimento
Oral exam: students will be asked to answer three/four questions on different topics covered by the course.
Students should demonstrate to be familiar and have a good understanding of the different subjects.
The “cum laude” honor is granted to students who demonstrate a personal and critical rethinking of the subject.
According to the general rules of the University, students will be allowed to reject the grade only once, but they can withdraw at any time during the exam
