ACHIEVEMENTS

With R. Baviera. A method that reveals the multi-level ultrametric tree hidden in p-spin glass like systems. J. Statis. Mech. Theory Exper. (2015)

With M. Campellone & G. Parisi introduced a method to calculate the finite volume corrections to the mean Field results for the free energy when replica symmetry is broken at one step in J. Statis. Phys (2009)

With S. Franz showed that the relaxation of “thermo-remnant magnetization” follows a generalized version of the Onsager regression postulate of induced fluctuations in J. Phys. A Gen. Phys (2000)
