An Introduction to the Coulomb Gas
4 décembre 2025 - 16:30Salle de séminaires IRMA
The Coulomb gas is a fundamental model of statistical mechanics which describes a large collection of interacting charged particles. In this talk, we will introduce the model, starting from physical motivations. We will then present the mathematical framework used to study its behavior, with particular emphasis on the two-dimensional case where interaction is logarithmic. Finally, we will present connections with random matrix theory and other models.
