Session 6
- Giovanni Cicuta ((retired) Dept. of Physics , Univ. Parma)
I will argue that if black holes represent one the most fascinating implications of Einstein's theory of gravity, neutron stars in binary system are arguably its richest laboratory, where gravity blends with astrophysics and particle physics. I will discuss the rapid recent progress made in modelling these systems and show how the gravitational signal can provide tight constraints on the...
The equation of state of the quark gluon plasma at finite density from first principle lattice QCD simulations has been a challenge for many years due to the infamous sign problem. This talk will discuss recent developments and results which allow access to the equation of state up to $\mu/T ≤ 3.5$.
We discuss methods and results on QCD topological studies on the lattice.
We review the interrelation of topology with chiral and axial symmetries,
and the effects on the meson spectrum in the different phases of QCD. We comment
on topological aspects of dense matter, and we discuss the high temperature
limit. We discuss the extrapolations needed to reach the regime of...
In my talk, I will review the use of HPC resources in the field of theoretical cosmology, focusing on the research activity carried on within the INFN "Iniziativa specifica" InDark (Inflation, Dark Matter, Large Scale Structure of the Universe). Advanced computing allows to tackle different classes of problems of great importance for current cosmological research, including structure...
