An Introduction to Lattice Gauge Theories - Part 4

This lecture is the fourth part of a mini-course on lattice gauge theories, presented by Malin Palö Forsström at the Hausdorff Center for Mathematics. Explore higher dimensional analogs of famous physics models like the Ising model, XY model, and clock model. Understand how lattice gauge theories serve as discretizations of the Yang-Mills model, which is fundamental to the standard model in physics. Learn about the properties of these theories and compare their behavior to the Ising model. Gain insights into the mathematical structures that underpin important physical theories through this hour-long presentation that bridges mathematical modeling with theoretical physics.
