Talk:Spherical model

A fact from Spherical model appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 16 May 2006. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the critical behaviour of the spherical model in statistical mechanics has been solved for arbitrary real positive dimensions, and is the same for dimensions greater than four?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2006/May.

close to ...

The article says

"The critical exponents ... which dictate the behaviour of the system close to were derived to be..."

Should this read "close to the critical point were derived to be ...", or perhaps "close to transition were derived to be ..."? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 129.99.134.43 (talk • contribs) 14:39, 16 May 2006.

New article title

This article should really be moved to a different title, although I'm not sure which one would be best at the moment. Was this precisely the terminology used in the original formulation? --HappyCamper 07:16, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Spherical Model" is perfectly clear to me. It is a well known model (known by the name Spherical Model) in Stat. Mech. and I immediately understood what the article was about when I saw the title. If there is a conflict with other articles you could e.g. add "Statistical Mechanics" to the title, but I wouldn't modify the words "Spherical Model". Count Iblis 12:24, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
