Coupled Spin Models  

In General > s.a. [field theory]; entropy; path integrals; spinors in field theory; statistical mechanics.
* Frustration: A situation in the classical theory in which there is little or no long-range ordering between coupled lattice sites in the ground state, e.g., in spin-glass theory with a tetrahedral lattice, there are antiferromagnetic couplings between magnetic spins that cannot be antiparallel.
