Cyrano de Dominicis

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cyrano Louis Jullio de Dominicis , also Cirano , (born March 16, 1927 in Moirans , Isère ; † April 4, 2017 ) was a French theoretical physicist who dealt with statistical mechanics.

De Dominicis studied from 1948 at the École polytechnique and then at the École des Mines. Since its inception, he has been a professor at the Service de Physique Théorique at the nuclear research center in Saclay and headed it from 1971 to 1979. In 1968 he was a visiting scientist at Harvard University with Paul C. Martin .

He dealt with quantum mechanical many-body theory in solid state physics (although he published a lot with Roger Balian in the 1960s ) and later with spin glasses and other disordered systems.

In 1961 he received the Paul Langevin Prize , in 1996 the Prix ​​Ampère and he received the silver medal of the CNRS and the Prix Ricard of the Société Française de Physique, of which he was also president.
