From the replica trick to the replica symmetry breaking technique
Abstract
Among the various remarkable contributions of Giorgio Parisi to physics, his formulation of the replica symmetry breaking solution for the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model stands out. In this article, different historical sources are used to reconstruct the scientific and professional contexts of this prodigious advance.
