"Statistical physics of opinion formation"

Abstract:

Application of statistical physics methods to understand and model 
several social phenomena has gained tremendous importance of late.
One of the most studied problem is how opinion forms in a society.
Highlighting the connection with statistical physics, we review the well 
known models for opinion dynamics and their variants.
