Statistical Mechanics
2015-06-24 v1
Abstract
I review the revolutionary impact Rodney Baxter has had on statistical mechanics beginning with his solution of the 8 vertex model in 1971 and the invention of corner transfer matrices in 1976 to the creation of the RSOS models in 1984 and his continuing current work on the chiral Potts model.
