Con l’intento di celebrare i 500 anni dalla Sua scomparsa. Il convegno prevede la presentazione di relazioni invitate di ricercatori e docenti che illustreranno la figura di Leonardo da Vinci, sia come interprete delle leggi della natura che guidano i fenomeni legati all’acqua, sia come ideatore e realizzatore di opere di ingegneria idraulica riguardanti in particolare i bacini dei fiumi Arno e Tevere.

Since its formulation, replica symmetry breaking (RSB) has grown from an abstract construction to a source of deep physical and mathematical insights. Due to its complex structure, it took some time for its early developers to fully understand its physical meaning, but the community is now flourishing and its ideas are embraced in fields ranging from chemistry to computer science. In particular, it is now well understood that RSB encodes the rich structure of the (free) energy landscape, which is very rough and full of hierarchically organized minima. This complex structure has profound consequences on the dynamics of systems ranging from glasses to neural networks to ecological communities.
