Abstract
This overview of energy landscapes will focus on some rigorous properties of potential energy surfaces (PES’s), especially the symmetry properties of steepest-descent paths, and on thermodynamics and cluster simulation. More detail concerning topics such as visualisation of global PES’s and master equation dynamics may be found in a complementary review [1]. The present notes will also touch upon the Born—Oppenheimer approximation [2], tunnelling and global optimisation, but in rather less detail.
