Authors:
- It develops the tools that allow a person with a probability background to access a large amount of theoretical physics literature.
- Recently developed mathematical techniques are explained in detail for a class of models that demand no background beyond a standard graduate course in probability.
- It proposes various open questions, along with the explanation of what the answer is expected to be in the physical community.
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
