The Ising model on nonamenable groups

Abstract:

I will outline a proof that the Ising model has a continuous phase transition on any nonamenable Cayley graph. This will involve some neat probabilistic applications of ergodic-theoretic machinery such as factors of IID and the spectral theory of group actions. I will aim to make the talk accessible to a broad community.
