Speaker: Edward Zeng, CIMS

Location: Warren Weaver Hall 201

Date: Tuesday, March 10, 2026, 12:30 p.m.

Synopsis:

The cluster expansion is a tool in statistical mechanics that allows one to analyze complicated interacting systems by organizing them into contributions from connected clusters. In this talk I will explain the basic idea behind the expansion and give an application.
