Onsager on 2D Ising model: “Obsession with partition functions maketh a dull man.” Onsager on 3D Ising: “I’m afraid it’s one dimension too many.”

Lars Onsager: “If I said what you just said, I wouldn’t have any idea what I was talking about.”

Within three months, both Prof. Rodney Baxter and Prof. C. N. Yang have passed away. We have lost two founding fathers of quantum integrability. We are now living in the post-Yang-Baxter era.

@196884 Looks great! Please say hello for me to Tomaž, Kareljan, Didina and Charlotte!

I’m shocked to learn that Rodney Baxter sadly passed away. I had the honour to meet him in person in 2017 and it was a jolly memory when he ran into the wine section at the reception to grab 2 glasses of wine (his wife refused the offer and he drank both). RIP

Sadly, Peter Lax passed away.

@yujitach In the context of Japanese, パンツ　refers to the underwear, right? As far as I understand, “pair of pants” doesn’t just refer to the underwear but any trousers. I might be wrong though.

I’m very sad to learn that Prof. Assa Auerbach passed away. I vividly remembered reading his textbook on magnetism during my master study. I have never met him in person but I did purchased his comic book with his encouraging words signed.

@Hal_Tasaki Thanks a lot for the reply. :) I might drop an ear in case I can pick up some of the talks then :)

[Yuan Miao @QuantumHall]

@mtbatchelor This looks amazing. One of my favourite proofs is Kuperberg's proof of ASM conjecture. Will you be joining the conference? I hope that I could by then.

[Yuan Miao @QuantumHall]

I didn’t know this but apparently the author of the first paper mentioned XXZ spin chain (https://t.co/kNUrLSbtx2) in 1958 is R. Orbach, who was the under secretary of Energy under Bush administration and wrote a paper today in arXiv with Giorgio Parisi on spin glass!

@mtbatchelor That is a pity. It is sad to see that the “Leiden school of stat phys” is becoming history. The silver lining is that the Dutch school is prosperous in Australia

[Timothy Gowers @wtgowers @wtgowers]

Occasionally in mathematics a statement that just has to be true turns out to be false. A paper appeared on arXiv today that disproves a well-known conjecture in probability called the bunkbed conjecture. 🧵

I’m always fascinated by the combinatorial side of things such as Schubert calculus. This video is great! https://t.co/aPQyW0xuY0

@takasan_san_san Steve Simon’s Oxford Solid State Basic did not start with tight-binding, but indeed contains those basic toy models etc. Maybe it is too “basic” to some extent

[Yuan Miao @QuantumHall]

100 years ago (8 Dec. 1924), Ising submitted his renowned paper on 1-d Ising model. 80 years ago (1 Feb. 1944) Onsager’s exact solution to 2-d Ising model was published.

[Yuan Miao @QuantumHall]

@takasan_san_san No worries. In general models with catogorical symmetries are not integrable. But the integrable ones satisfy YBE (they are usually RSOS-type models). Maybe we can chat about that later at Hongo :)
