| Title | A Random Walk in Physics : Beyond Black Holes and Time-Travels |
| Author(s) | Cencini, Massimo;Puglisi, Andrea;Vergni, Davide;Vulpiani, Angelo |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2021. |
| Description | X, 224 p. 29 illus., 20 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book offers an informal, easy-to-understand account of topics in modern physics and mathematics. The focus is, in particular, on statistical mechanics, soft matter, probability, chaos, complexity, and models, as well as their interplay. The book features 28 key entries and it is carefully structured so as to allow readers to pursue different paths that reflect their interests and priorities, thereby avoiding an excessively systematic presentation that might stifle interest. While the majority of the entries concern specific topics and arguments, some relate to important protagonists of science, highlighting and explaining their contributions. Advanced mathematics is avoided, and formulas are introduced in only a few cases. The book is a user-friendly tool that nevertheless avoids scientific compromise. It is of interest to all who seek a better grasp of the world that surrounds us and of the ideas that have changed our perceptions |

| Title | Transport and Fluctuations in Granular Fluids : From Boltzmann Equation to Hydrodynamics, Diffusion and Motor Effects |
| Author(s) | Puglisi, Andrea |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2015. |
| Description | XVI, 118 p. 16 illus., 5 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This brief offers a concise presentation of granular fluids from the ??point of view of non-equilibrium statistical physics. The emphasis is on fluctuations, which can be large in granular fluids due to the small system size (the number of grains is many orders of magnitude smaller than in molecular fluids). Firstly, readers will be introduced to the most intriguing experiments on fluidized granular fluids. Then granular fluid theory, which goes through increasing levels of coarse-graining and emerging collective phenomena, is described. Problems and questions are initially posed at the level of kinetic theory, which describes particle densities in full or reduced phase-space. Some answers become clear through hydrodynamics, which describes the evolution of slowly evolving fields. Granular fluctuating hydrodynamics, which builds a bridge to the most recent results in non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, is also introduced. Further and more interesting answers come when the dynamics of a massive intruder are discussed. Such non-equilibrium stochastic process offers a more precise and compact picture of the features foreseen at the more detailed levels of description. The dynamics of an intruder diffusing in a granular fluid reveal the clearest connection with recent theories on stochastic energetics and stochastic thermodynamics |

| Title | Large Deviations in Physics : The Legacy of the Law of Large Numbers |
| Author(s) | Vulpiani, Angelo;Cecconi, Fabio;Cencini, Massimo;Puglisi, Andrea;Vergni, Davide |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2014. |
| Description | XIV, 314 p. 58 illus., 18 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book reviews the basic ideas of the Law of Large Numbers with its consequences to the deterministic world and the issue of ergodicity. Applications of Large Deviations and their outcomes to Physics are surveyed. The book covers topics encompassing ergodicity and its breaking and the modern applications of Large deviations to equilibrium and non-equilibrium statistical physics, disordered and chaotic systems, and turbulence |
