Graduate Zeros of the partition function (Yang-Lee and Fisher zeros)

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on seeking resources for understanding the zeros of the partition function, specifically the Yang-Lee and Fisher zeros. Participants mention Jon Cardy's book "Scaling and Renormalization in Statistical Physics" as a potential source, although one user is unable to locate the relevant information. Kardar's books are also referenced, particularly for their examination of critical point behavior and detailed analysis of the 2-D Ising model. The conversation confirms that these resources may provide useful insights into the topic. Overall, the thread emphasizes the importance of these texts in studying critical phenomena in statistical physics.

Hey there,

Just wondering where I can get a nice treatment of this with derivations. I could swear I read about this in Jon Cardy's Scaling and renormalization in statistical physics but I can't find it again so maybe I was wrong.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Both of Kardar's books deal with examining critical point behavior. The second book goes into more detail with high and low temperature expansions of the 2-D Ising model. Is this along the lines of what you are looking for?

It certainly is. I'll give it a look to see if it has useful details for me.
 

Thread 'Does acceleration affect impact energy vs constant velocity?'

I do not have a good working knowledge of physics yet. I tried to piece this together but after researching this, I couldn’t figure out the correct laws of physics to combine to develop a formula to answer this question. Ex. 1 - A moving object impacts a static object at a constant velocity. Ex. 2 - A moving object impacts a static object at the same velocity but is accelerating at the moment of impact. Assuming the mass of the objects is the same and the velocity at the moment of impact...
