Abstract

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded half of the 2021 Nobel Prize in

physics to Giorgio Parisi for the discovery of the interplay of disorder and fluctuations in

physical systems from atomic to planetary scales. This article briefly reviews Parisi’ s

contribution to the spin glass theory and stochastic processes.
