Research interests

My research activity up to now has been devoted to the study of High-Energy Theoretical Physics, Quantum Field Theory, Lattice Gauge Theories and, more specifically, to non-perturbative (both analytical and numerical) methods for studying Gauge Theories, with particular regard to the vacuum properties and phenomenology of QCD, both at zero and at finite (non-zero) temperature. My recent research program has been focused, in particular, on the following non-perturbative aspects of QCD:
i) the problem of "soft" high-energy hadron-hadron elastic scattering; ii) the role of chiral symmetries, including the U(1) axial symmetry, in the phase structure of the theory and their relation/interplay with the confinement property and the topological properties of the theory.
