DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://stable.researchseminars.org/talk/combi
 geo_minicourses/1/">Five lectures on statistical mechanics methods in comb
 inatorics. Lecture 1: Fundamentals of statistical physics</a>\nby Will Per
 kins (University of Illinois at Chicago) as part of Moscow mini-courses of
  Lab of CombiGeo\n\n\nAbstract\nI will introduce some basic objects\, term
 inology\, and questions from statistical mechanics and then translate thes
 e to combinatorics to arrive at some new problems and new perspectives on 
 old problems.  Applications discussed will include extremal and enumerativ
 e problems about independent sets in graphs and problems about sphere pack
 ings in Euclidean space.\n\nLecture $1$ of $5$: Fundamentals of statistica
 l physics.\n
