DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/combigeo_min

 cs. Lecture 1: Fundamentals of statistical physics</a>\nby Will Perkins (U
 niversity of Illinois at Chicago) as part of Moscow mini-courses of Lab of
  CombiGeo\n\n\nAbstract\nI will introduce some basic objects\, terminology
 \, and questions from statistical mechanics and then translate these to co
 mbinatorics to arrive at some new problems and new perspectives on old pro
 blems.  Applications discussed will include extremal and enumerative probl
 ems about independent sets in graphs and problems about sphere packings in
  Euclidean space.\n\nLecture $1$ of $5$: Fundamentals of statistical physi
 cs.\n
