 FIRENZE FI11 2004 PROGRAM
 =========================

 - A. Cappelli, M. Riccardi, G.R. Zemba; 
 ``Noncommutative field theories and the quantum Hall effect''
   Study the description of the Laughlin Hall state in terms of
   the non-commutative Chern-Simons field theory as proposed by L. Susskind.

 - A.Cappelli, G. D'Appollonio, M. Zabzine 
 ``Boundary conformal field theories''
   Develop a Landau-Ginzburg description of the boundary 
   states and of the boundary renormalization-group flows.
   Proof that the boundary entropy monotonically decreases along these flows.

- F. Colomo, A. G. Pronko
``Finite-size corrections to the Partition Function of the 6-vertex model''
The six vertex model with domain wall boundary condition has been subjet
to a revival of interest in recent times, due to its deep connection
with the theory of alternating  sign matrix and domino tiling. At the
moment the partition function is known only in the thermodynamic
limit, but we are building a systematic procedure to compute finite size
corrections, based on the representation of the partition function
as a Freedholm determinant of an integral operator. We are moreover
investigating exact evaluation of the partition function at some
specific values of the deformation parameter of the model.

- M. Pettini, R. Franzosi, L. Casetti
``Topological theory of phase transitions''
  Investigation of the kind of topological changes of equipotential
  hypersurfaces of configuration space which entail phase transitions.
  Study of the way of recognizing first order, second order and glassy
  phase transitions within the differential-topological approach.

- M. Pettini, G. Ciraolo, R. Lima, M. Vittot, Ph. Ghendrih
``Control of chaos and transport in thermonuclear fusion plasmas''
  Improvement and extension of the successful method that we have recently
  developed to control chaotic transport in Hamiltonian systems.
  Application of the method to more realistic models of anomalous transport 
  in thermonuclear controlled fusion devices of the tokamak type.

- S. Ruffo, M. Antoni, J. Barre', T. Dauxois, M.C. Firpo, H. Hinrichsen,
  F. Leyvraz, D. Mukamel 
 ``Dynamics and statistics in systems with long-range interactions''
  Long-range interactions lead to inequivalences between the canonical and
  microcanonical ensambles and to metastable states whose lifetime
  goes to infinity with the size of the system.

- S. Ruffo, R. Khomeriki, S. Lepri
 ``Localized excitations in non-linear lattices''
   Clusters of ``breathers'' can be produced in the FPU lattices by
   exciting the modes at the band edges.

- S. Ruffo, H. Larralde, F. Leyvraz, G. Martinez-Mekler, R. Rechtman
 ``Diffusion in the Lorentz gas model''
  The random walk model nicely represents the diffusive motion in
  the diluted Lorentz gas model.

- S. Ruffo, D. Fanelli, M. Merafina
  ``Toy models of globular clusters''
    Adsorbing boundary conditions reproduce the King distributions of
    self-gravitating clusters.

- F. Bagnoli, F. Franci, R. Rechtman
"Out of equilibrium phase transitions in systems with absorbing states 
with applications to the pinching synchronizaton mechanism"
We study phase transitions in system which present one or more absorbing 
states and are thus not mappable onto equilibrium systems. In particular, 
Synchronization of dynamical systems with all-or-nothing mechanism 
(pinching) belongs to this class of phase transitions and can be applied 
to study dynamical properties of systems that exhibit irregular behavior 
in the presence of stability to infinitesimal perturbations.

- F. Bagnoli, F. Franci 
"Models of protein-substrate interactions and protein folding"
We investigate the out-of-equilibrium features of protein stretched by 
atomic force microscopy my means of lattice models. Similar models are 
used to schematize the interaction between proteins and a substrate (for 
instance an antibody) or as toy models for protein folding. We apply part 
of the data extracted from these toy models in a data-analysis algorithm 
with the goals of forecasting protein-substrate affinity from data stored 
in a database.

TRIESTE FI11 2004 PROGRAM
=========================
 
``Exact correlators in massive integrable models'' 
   Continuation of the study of the spectral series for correlation 
   functions, exact resummation and associated nonlinear 
   differential equations. 

 ``Non-integrable quantum field theory'' 
   Formation of bound states and confinement of topological 
   excitations, application to nonlinear sigma models with 
   topologic terms within the framework of form factor perturbation 
   theory applied to massless theories. Study of the phase diagrams 
   of several models, including Ising model and double-Sine Gordon

 ``Quantum field theory at finite temperature and finite volume'' 
   A new approach has been developed to deal with finite 
   temperature problem. This consists in quantising the theory 
   at finite volume by semi-classical method and extracting in 
   this way the exact matrix elements in finite volume. 
   Correlation functions can be recovered using their spectral 
   representation. 

 ``Field theory of scaling lattice models'' 
   Study of the role of lattice symmetries in the continuum limit of 
   critical antiferromagnet; computation of universal characteristics 
   of the scaling region; numerical investigation of analytic 
   properties through the truncated conformal space approach. 

 ``Boundary field theory and surface phase diagrams'' 
   Continue the study of the effects induced on field theories and 
   strongly correlated systems by the boundary conditions and their 
   relative boundary flows.
