DESCRIPTION:A mathematical physicist's perspective on Statistical Mechanics
 \n\nStatistical mechanics explains and quantifies the process by which str
 ucture emerges from chaos. Its genesis is in Boltzmann's explanation of th
 ermodynamical behavior and in particular of the concept of entropy. The st
 atistic mechanical perspective was instrumental for Planck's theory of the
  light quantization and Einstein's calculation of the Avogadro number. Mor
 e recent developments include links between the physics of critical phenom
 ena and the mathematics of conformally invariant random structures\, stoch
 astic integrability\, and representation theory. The talk will focus on ex
 amples of observations and conjectures which turned out to point in fruitf
 ul directions.\n	 \n
