Sergio Caracciolo

Italian theoretical physicist, co-author with Andrea Sportiello of "Exact integration of height probabilities in the Abelian Sandpile Model" (2012, arXiv:1207.6074), which provided the first analytic proof of Grassberger's conjecture that the two-dimensional model's average site height is 17/8.

Matters to this vault as co-author of the primary read directly to confirm a figure repeated across a decade of secondary SOC literature — see claim-caracciolo-sportiello-2012-confirms-17-8-average-height, one of the cleanest source-verification outcomes in the vault's self-organized-criticality cluster.
