该小组与分析小组，Lie理论小组以及对统计力学，凝聚态物理和理论高能物理感兴趣的物理系成员密切互动。（G. Goldin，S。Goldstein和J. Lebowitz在物理系有共同任命）。大量的后文档和访客增加了该组。它每周举行一次研讨会，并在统计力学领域广泛参加半年一次的会议。每周还会举行浓缩物研讨会和高能研讨会，并且数学和物理系的座谈会通常与数学物理有关。师生之间的关系是非正式的，愉快的，经常有联合午餐，特别是每周一次的数学物理研讨会之后，是一个棕色的午餐，在午餐会上，人们对各种问题（包括科学问题和
This group interacts strongly with the analysis group, Lie Theory group, and with members of the Physics Department interested in statistical mechanics, condensed matter physics, and theoretical high energy physics. (G. Goldin, S. Goldstein and J. Lebowitz have joint appointments in the Physics Department). The group is augmented by a large number of post-docs and visitors. It conducts a weekly seminars and a widely attended semi-annual conferences in Statistical Mechanics. There are also weekly condensed matter and high energy seminars, and the departmental colloquia in mathematics and physics are often related to mathematical physics. The relationship between faculty and students is informal and pleasant with frequent joint lunches, in particular the weekly mathematical physics seminar is followed by a brown bag lunch at which there is much informal discussion of all kinds of problems - both scientific and non-scientific.
