Abstract
A review of theory and experiment of two-dimensional magnetic phase transit ions is presented. I consider principal systems from the point of view of t he general theory of phase transitions and the corresponding statistical mo dels. The topological point of view of the phase transitions is analysed. C onformal groups and its consequences in two dimensions are reviewed. Some u nsolved problems are discussed.
