Roberto Aloisio – författare

This book comprises a unique collection of insights into Nobel laureate Giorgio Parisi's groundbreaking work across physics, ranging from high-energy physics and spin glasses to turbulence and collective animal behaviour. Originating from a series of seminars at the Sapienza University of Rome, each chapter focuses on one of Parisi's seminal contributions, penned by leading experts who highlight the depth and interdisciplinary impact of his ideas. The volume revisits widely disseminated achievements like the Altarelli-Parisi equations and replica symmetry breaking, and presents lesser-known work, revealing hidden connections between seemingly distant domains. Enhanced by lively discussions and a personal retrospective from Parisi himself, this book is both a tribute to a visionary scientist and an invitation to discover the unifying threads woven throughout modern physics. Showcasing how one thinker's creativity can reshape entire landscapes of knowledge, it is invaluable for experienced researchers and motivated graduate students in the field of theoretical physics.

This book, designed as a tool for young researchers and graduate students, reviews the main open problems and research lines in various fields of astroparticle physics: cosmic rays, gamma rays, neutrinos, cosmology, and gravitational physics. The opening section discusses cosmic rays of both galactic and extragalactic origin, examining experimental results, theoretical models, and possible future developments. The basics of gamma-ray astronomy are then described, including the detection  methods and techniques. Galactic and extragalactic aspects of the field  are addressed in  the light of  recent discoveries with space-borne and ground-based  detectors. The review of neutrinos outlines the status of the investigations of neutrino radiation and brings together relevant formulae, estimations, and background information. Three complementary issues in cosmology are examined: observable predictions of inflation in the early universe, effects of dark energy/modified gravity in the large-scale structure of the universe, and neutrinos in cosmology and large-scale structures. The closing section on gravitational physics reviews issues relating to quantum gravity, atomic precision tests, space-based experiments, the strong field regime, gravitational waves, multi-messengers, and alternative theories of gravity.
