Francesco Calogero (born February 6, 1935) is an Italian physicist,
active in the community of scientists concerned with nuclear
disarmament.He is the son of the philosopher Guido Calogero. After his
father was sentenced to national exile by fascist police, Francesco
Calogero spent more than one year (1942) in Scanno, a small Italian
village. After World War II, Calogero graduated "laurea in fisica" cum
laude at University of Rome La Sapienza, on February 1958. He became
Professor of Theoretical Physics, in the same university in
1976.Calogero's scientific publications in English include five books
and over 400 papers (about half with co-authors). His main research
concerns integrable many-body problems. Several solvable many-body
models and nonlinear evolution partial differential equations (PDEs)
are named after Calogero in the mathematical physics literature. He
also formulated the Calogero conjecture that quantum behavior is
caused by the stochastic component of the local gravitational field
due to the chaotic component of the motion of all particles of the
Universe due to their mutual gravitational interaction. He also
introduced a novel differential algorithm to evaluate all the zeros of
any generic polynomial of arbitrary degree [F. Calogero, “Novel
differential algorithm to evaluate all the zeros of any generic
polynomial†, J. Nonlinear Math. Phys. 24, 469-472 (2017). DOI:
10.1080/14029251.2017.1375685].For his profound contributions to the
field of exactly solvable models in statistical mechanics and
many-body physics, Calogero was a co-recipient of the American
Physical Society's 2019 Dannie Heineman Prize for Mathematical
Physics, alongside T. Bill Sutherland and Michel Gaudin.
