talks
Azione e costante di Plank
Published:
Talk (in italian) concluding the residential stage in Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati (LNF), supervised by Dott. Danilo Babusci. The topic I studied was the relationship between the quantization of the action functional and the value of Plank’s constant, measured also experimentally during the stage using LEDs. The notes (written in italian) of the talk are available here.
Isometries of the hyperbolic plane and the Möbius group of the sphere
Published:
Talk at the seminar “Geometrie auf der Sphäre und im hyperbolischen Raum” organized by Prof. Margarita Kraus at the Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz (Germany). The main point was to show that the isometry group of the hyperbolic space is isomorphic to a subgroup of the Möbius group of the sphere. The notes of the talk are available here.
The Hill Equation
Published:
Talk at the seminar “Advanced methods of averaging in Ordinary Differential Equations” organized by Prof. Alan Rendall at the Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz (Germany). The topic I discussed was about the Hill equation. The website of the event is available here. The notes of the talk are available here.
Two examples in time-dependant statistical mechanics
Published:
Talk at the seminar “Stochastische Techniken in mathematischer Modellierung” organized by Prof. Mária Lukácová-Medvidová at the Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz (Germany). The main topic was time-dependent statistical mechanics. The web page of the seminar is available here. The notes of the talk are available here.
