统计力学：两个中心问题的选择性评述
Statistical Mechanics: A Selective Review of Two Central Issues
摘要：
我给一个高度选择性的概述的方式统计力学解释的微观起源的时间不对称演化的宏观系统走向平衡和一阶相变平衡。这些现象是涌现的集体性质，在单个原子的行为中无法辨别。当宏观尺度和微观尺度之间的比例变得非常大时，它们被赋予精确而优雅的数学公式。
英文摘要：
I give a highly selective overview of the way statistical mechanics explains the microscopic origins of the time asymmetric evolution of macroscopic systems towards equilibrium and of first order phase transitions in equilibrium. These phenomena are emergent collective properties not discernible in the behavior of individual atoms. They are given precise and elegant mathematical formulations when the ratio between macroscopic and microscopic scales becomes very large.
