| 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 | Reductionism, Emergence and Levels of Reality : The Importance of Being Borderline |
| Author(s) | Chibbaro, Sergio;Rondoni, Lamberto;Vulpiani, Angelo |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2014. |
| Description | XXI, 154 p. 13 illus., 4 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Scientists have always attempted to explain the world in terms of a few unifying principles. In the fifth century B.C. Democritus boldly claimed that reality is simply a collection of indivisible and eternal parts or atoms. Over the centuries his doctrine has remained a landmark, and much progress in physics is due to its distinction between subjective perception and objective reality. This book discusses theory reduction in physics, which states that the whole is nothing more than the sum of its parts: the properties of things are directly determined by their constituent parts. Reductionism deals with the relation between different theories that address different levels of reality, and uses extrapolations to apply that relation in different sciences. Reality shows a complex structure of connections, and the dream of a unified interpretation of all phenomena in several simple laws continues to attract anyone with genuine philosophical and scientific interests. If the most radical reductionist point of view is correct, the relationship between disciplines is strictly inclusive: chemistry becomes physics, biology becomes chemistry, and so on. Eventually, only one science, indeed just a single theory, would survive, with all others merging in the Theory of Everything. Is the current coexistence of different sciences a mere historical venture which will end when the Theory of Everything has been established? Can there be a unified description of nature??? Rather than an analysis of full reductionism, this book focuses on aspects of theory reduction in physics and stimulates reflection on related questions: is there any evidence of actual reduction? Are the examples used in the philosophy of science too simplistic? What has been endangered by the search for (the) ultimate truth? Has the dream of reductionist reason created any monsters? Is big science one such monster? What is the point of embedding science Y within science X, if predictions cannot be made on that basis? |

| Title | Meccanica Statistica Elementare : I fondamenti |
| Author(s) | Falcioni, Massimo;Vulpiani, Angelo |
| Publication | Milano, Springer Milan, 2015. |
| Description | IX, 133 pagg. 9 figg : online resource |
| Abstract Note | La meccanica statistica (MS) nell'insegnamente universitario e' spesso confinata in una posizione itermedia tra le tre grandi aree della fisica teorica, la fisica della materia e la fisica matematica. In genere vengono discussi gli aspetti "pratici", di supporto alla fisica della materia, che pur importanti non esauriscono la rilevanza concettule della meccanica statistica. Esistono molti ottimi libri (Huang, Landau-Lifsits, Chandler, Peliti etc) che trattano in modo dettagliato gli aspetti tecnici della meccanica statistica. Lo scopo del nostro libro non e' quello di presentare metodi (esatti ed approssimati) per determinare le propriet?? termodinamiche a partire dalle interazioni microscopiche, quanto discutere alcuni aspetti concettuali della meccanica statistica che sono spesso poco trattati. In particolare: 1- Il ruolo dell'ipotesi ergodica 2- L'importanza dei tanti gradi di libert?? per le leggi statistiche 3- L'interpretazione degli ensemble in termini di probabilit??; 4- L'irreversibilit?? macroscopica 5- L'utilizzo della meccanica statistica per provare l'ipotesi atomistica e la determinazione delle scale (spaziali ed egernetiche) del mondo microscopico |

| Title | Products of Random Matrices : in Statistical Physics |
| Author(s) | Crisanti, Andrea;Paladin, Giovanni;Vulpiani, Angelo |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 1993. |
| Description | XIV, 169 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | At the present moment, after the success of the renormalization group in providing a conceptual framework for studying second-order phase tran?? sitions, we have a nearly satisfactory understanding of the statistical me?? chanics of classical systems with a non-random Hamiltonian. The situation is completely different if we consider the theory of systems with a random Hamiltonian or of chaotic dynamical systems. The two fields are connected; in fact, in the latter the effects of deterministic chaos can be modelled by an appropriate stochastic process. Although many interesting results have been obtained in recent years and much progress has been made, we still lack a satisfactory understanding of the extremely wide variety of phenomena which are present in these fields. The study of disordered or chaotic systems is the new frontier where new ideas and techniques are being developed. More interesting and deep results are expected to come in future years. The properties of random matrices and their products form a basic tool, whose importance cannot be underestimated. They playa role as important as Fourier transforms for differential equations. This book is extremely interesting as far as it presents a unified approach for the main results which have been obtained in the study of random ma?? trices. It will become a reference book for people working in the subject. The book is written by physicists, uses the language of physics and I am sure that many physicists will read it with great pleasure |

| Title | Measures of Complexity : Proceedings of the Conference, Held in Rome September 30???October 2, 1987 |
| Author(s) | Peliti, Luca;Vulpiani, Angelo |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 1988. |
| Description | VII, 151 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Complexity is a puzzling and important concept in contemporary research in many disciplines. This book addresses the problem of defining complexity by carefully analysing in what sense complexity means measure in such areas as the theory of dynamical systems, condensed matter physics, ecology, immunology and the theory of neural networks. The information content of complexity is studied and similarities and differences in the various concepts of complexity are highlighted, sometimes provocatively. The book could open the way to finding a paradigm of complexity, and should become a standard reference for a wide audience of researchers in the physical and biological sciences |
