DESCRIPTION:Emergence in physics appears when going from bottom up in the 
 description of a phenomenon and is related to the image of collective beha
 vior. On the other side\, Reductionism (in the stronger sense) implies the
  idea that every physical phenomenon can be explained starting from the fu
 ndamental laws that govern its minimum components. Starting from the begi
 nning of the dispute in 1972\, when P.W. Anderson published in Science the
  paper “More is different”\, the structural and formal emergence are i
 ntroduced. Examples as superconductivity and critical phenomena are descr
 ibed. We end by presenting plausible arguments showing that gauge symmetri
 es may be emergent. The main point of the seminar is to advocate in favor
  of reductionism and emergence being complementary and complimentary and t
 o avoid the “vs”.\n\nhttps://indico.ific.uv.es/event/8630/
