DESCRIPTION:Every child knows that heating melts things\, and that keeping
  them cool keeps them solid. That’s why car engines and computer chips m
 ust be cooled and why we’re not about to explore the surface of the Sun 
 anytime soon. The reasoning is simple: at high temperature\, the free ener
 gy  F=E−TS is minimized by maximizing entropy\, so disorder becomes fav
 orable and order melts away. In this talk\, I will present models that exh
 ibit the opposite behavior: systems that freeze at arbitrarily high temper
 atures\, defying the standard thermodynamic argument.
