Abstract
A review of two-dimensional exactly solvable models of statistical mechanics of Coulomb systems is presented. These are systems composed of charged particles. Two models are considered: the two-component plasma and the one-component plasma. Analogies between these classical systems and quantum field theories are exploited, which allow for an analytic resolution of the models. For the one-component plasma, new results for the free energy are presented.
