Theoretical Physics

Welcome to the Theoretical Physics Group at Parma! Our research activities cover a wide spectrum of topics, including Particle Physics, Quantum Field Theory and String Theory, Lattice Field Theory, General Relativity and Gravitational Waves, Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, Statistical Mechanics and the Physics of Complex Systems.

The group consists of members also involved in the local INFN Group (Gruppo Collegato di Parma, Sezione Milano Bicocca)

Parma is coordinating EuroPLEx, a new research network financed by the EU within the H2020 framework. Parma unit (Di Renzo, Bonini, Griguolo) will work on subjects at the interface of perturbative and non-perturbative physics, including numerical validation of theoretical predictions and conjectures, e.g. of Resurgence theory.

Statistical Physics, Quantum Mechanics and Complex Systems

Systems composed of a large number of particles or elements can give rise to complex unexpected behaviour and totally new emergent collective properties. Statistical Physics deals indeed with systems composed of many interacting degrees of freedom. Starting from microscopic models, it can describe and predict these unexpected behavior on a large scale, in which collective effects are more than the sum of the properties of the individual constituents.
