The puzzle of the γ→α and other phase transitions in cerium

c Institute for High Pressure Physics, Russian Academy of Sciences, Kaluzhskoe shosse 14, Troitsk, Moscow, 108840, Russian Federation

We discuss recent research on phase transitions in cerium under pressure, including new experiments on the γ→α transition, which indicate that it is a hidden structural phase transition. We also discuss some models of relevance to the field, both theoretical and computational.
