Abstract: Summary We discuss two different approaches related to Γ-limits of free energy functionals. The first gives an example of how symmetry breaking may occur on the atomistic level, the second aims at deriving a general analytic theory for elasticity on the lattice scale that does not depend on an explicitly chosen reference system.
