Yvan SAINT AUBIN

Yvan SAINT AUBIN is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Montreal, affiliated with the Faculty of Arts and Science. His research focuses on statistical physics, conformal field theory, and critical phenomena, with a particular emphasis on lattice models and their connection to continuous field theories. He has contributed significantly to understanding the mathematical foundations of two-dimensional models like the Ising model and loop models, leveraging tools from algebraic structures and stochastic processes.
