Beskrivning
This book in honor of Antonio Aurilia provides an overview of one of the most mysterious research fields in theoretical physics, namely the fundamental interactions at energies between the electroweak scale and the Planck scale. The latter includes physics beyond the Standard Model, strings and p-branes, quantum gravity, quantum black holes and early Universe cosmology. A related goal of the work is to present the physical conditions upon which some piece of evidence of new physics at extreme energies can be exposed at current (or near future) experimental facilities. The work is organized in three parts. The first part schematically introduces the problem of fundamental interactions and summarizes the life and work of Prof. Aurilia. The second part forms the body of the book. It contains contributions from internationally recognized specialists who collaborated with Prof. Aurilia, such as R. Balbinot, B. Carr, G. Dvali, A. Fabbri, P. Gaete, J. A. Helayël-Neto, R. Mann, J. Mureika, D. Singleton, A. Smailagic, E. Spallucci and P. Townsend. The third part summarizes the work and draws the conclusions with particular attention to future developments.

Mer information

Dr. Piero Nicolini, Ph.D., is a German-Italian theoretical physicist, currently Senior Researcher at the University of Trieste and Adjunct Professor at the Goethe University Frankfurt. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Bologna in 2002 and his German ``Habilitation'' in 2013, as well as two other habilitations in Italy, in theoretical physics and astrophysics. Prior to his current position in Trieste, he was a postdoctoral researcher at the Center for Theoretical Physics in Marseille, Visiting Scholar at the California State University in Fresno, Research Fellow and Head of the Classical and Quantum Gravity Group at the Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies, and Visiting Associate Professor at New York University Abu Dhabi. He has also been an invited researcher at several research institutes and universities around the world, including MIT, Columbia University, CERN, and the Perimeter Institute.Over the course of his career, Professor Nicolini has supervised more than twenty graduate students and authored more than fifty peer-reviewed journal articles on quantum gravity, string theory, and theoretical particle physics. He has also edited seven monographs, including two books published by Springer as proceedings of the Karl Schwarzschild Meetings, a legendary series of conferences on classical and quantum gravity that attracted an unprecedented high quality of speakers, including Nobel laureates.Professor Nicolini is perhaps best known for his seminal publications in black hole physics, where he proposed non-commutative geometry as a tool for drawing a consistent scenario of black hole evaporation beyond the Hawking semiclassical limit. Based on his highly cited papers, he has been ranked in the top 2% of world scientists and inducted into the list of top Italian scientists. He has also received a significant number of research grants and awards, including the Carl Wilhelm Fück Prize of the Walter Greiner Society for Research in Fundamental Physics, Frankfurt, Germany.His current research focuses on the spontaneous dimensional reduction of the universe and, more generally, on the phenomena expected to have occurred soon after the Big Bang.
