A new approach to critical phenomena in long-range models
Many statistical mechanics models on the lattice (including percolation, self-avoiding walk, the Ising model and so on) have natural "long-range" versions in which vertices interact not only with their neighbours, but with all other vertices in a way that decays with the distance. When this decay is described by a power-law, it can lead to new kinds of critical phenomena that are not present in the short-range models. In this talk I will describe a new approach to the study of these models, leading to some striking new results with surprisingly easy proofs.
