-
A.
Ising models
Ising models are mathematical models in statistical mechanics that describe systems of interacting binary variables (spins) on a lattice, widely used to study phase transitions, magnetism, and as a foundation for various probabilistic and machine learning models.
-
B.
Potts model
The Potts model is a generalization of the Ising model in statistical mechanics that describes interacting spins with more than two possible states, used to study phase transitions and critical phenomena.
-
C.
Langevin theory of paramagnetism
The Langevin theory of paramagnetism is a classical statistical model that explains how the magnetization of paramagnetic materials depends on temperature and applied magnetic field by treating atomic magnetic moments as non-interacting dipoles subject to thermal agitation.
-
D.
Kramers–Wannier duality in the Ising model
Kramers–Wannier duality in the Ising model is a mathematical transformation that relates the high-temperature and low-temperature phases of the two-dimensional Ising model, revealing the location of its critical point and illustrating a deep symmetry between ordered and disordered states.
-
E.
Yang–Lee theory
Yang–Lee theory is a framework in statistical mechanics and phase transition theory that studies the distribution of zeros of the partition function in the complex plane to understand critical phenomena.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
