Beyond Mean Field Theory :
Renormalisation Group and Non Perturbative approaches to Disordered and Glassy Systems
A glassy workshop dedicated to the memory of Cirano De Dominicis
"Sapienza" Università di Roma January 3-5 2018
Physics Department, Marconi Building, Aula Amaldi
Despite years of intense efforts, the problem of understanding the growth of critical correlations as well as the finite dimensional non-perturbative effects in glassy systems remain open. In the context of the Simons Collaboration "Cracking the Glass Problem" (https://scglass.uchicago.edu/) we are organising a three day workshop, with a limited number of talks and a lot of discussion time. To stimulate the discussion, we will associate to each intervention a "discussant" with the role of commenting, clarifying and perhaps challenging each of the talks and introduce a general discussion.
We dedicate this workshop to our colleague and friend Cirano De Dominicis, pioneer -among many other things- in the field theoretical approach to Spin Glasses.

Participation is free, but we ask to register before November 30 2017. You should download the form below and send it to Mrs. Loguercio (giulia.loguercio@roma1.infn.it). Participants can reserve a room at the Hotel Ateneo Garden Palace http://www.ateneorome.com/index.php&ref_site=470&ref_event=403 located in the Via dei Salentini 3 in the San Lorenzo district close to the Sapienza university.
This workshop is supported by the Simons Collaboration on Cracking the Glass Problem
Simons Collaborations, made possible by support from the Simons Foundation, bring together groups of outstanding scientists to address mathematical or theoretical topics of fundamental scientific importance in which a significant new development has created a novel area for exploration or provided a new direction for progress in an established field.
Social dinner
The conference dinner will take place at Casa dell'Aviatore (http://www.casaviatore.it/), nearby Sapienza (https://goo.gl/rkhM3B) on the evening of Thursday, January 4th, 2018, 8.30 pm. The cost of the dinner will be 35€ per person.
