Abstract: We review the basic ideas which have been developed to characterize geometrically the equilibrium phase transitions. This approach elucidates many concepts like propagation of correlations, upper critical dimensionality, breakdown of hyperscaling, strong universality, and other basic ideas in phase transitions.
