Abstract: Several aspects of the theory of the coexistence of phases and equilibrium forms are discussed. In section 1, the problem is studied from the point of view of thermodynamics. In section 2, the statistical mechanical theory is introduced. We consider, in particular, the description of the microscopic interface at low temperatures and the existence of a free energy per unit area (surface tension). In section 3, a proof is given of the microscopic validity of the Wulff construction in a simplified model of a two-dimensional interface. Finally, in section 4, the roughening transition and the formation of facets in an equilibrium crystal are studied. Appendices A and B concern, respectively, the first and second points of section 2, mentioned above.
