The student will be able to demonstrate advanced knowledge in Statistical Mechanics and in Field Theory. The student will be able to expose his knowledge in a short seminar toward the scientific community.In particular he will have knowledge about phase transition and phenomena that present scaling behavior. The student will be able to understand the analogies between Statistical Mechanics and the field theory of elementary particle.
