Ising models: Ising model in 3d. Simple mathematical model of phase transitions, e.g., when water freezes or when cooling iron becomes magnetic. Computing lowest energy state is NP-hard. Solvable in polynomial time if graph is planar, but 3d lattice is nonplanar. Holy grail of statistical mechanics for 75 years before proved NP-hard. Establishing NP-completeness means that physicists won't spend another 75 years attempting to solve the unsolvable. Nash equilibria. Cooperative game theory. Given a 2-player game, find a Nash equilibrium that maximizes the payoff to player 1. Do more than one NE exist? Is there a NE that is Pareto optimal? NE that maximizes social welfare.
