Aldo Andreotti (1970)

Aldo Andreotti (born March 15, 1924 in Florence , † February 21, 1980 in Pisa ) was an Italian mathematician who dealt with algebraic geometry , complex analysis and partial differential equations .

Life

Andreotti studied from 1942 at the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa and continued his studies in Switzerland with Beno Eckmann and Georges de Rham . In 1947 he graduated from Pisa (Laurea) with a thesis on conformal representations. Then he was in Rome as an assistant to Francesco Severi . After a short time at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton , where he worked with Solomon Lefschetz and Carl Ludwig Siegel , he became professor of geometry in Turin in 1951 and in Pisa in 1956. He was visiting professor at various universities, u. a. 1957 to 1959 at the Institute for Advanced Study.

He is known for work in algebraic geometry, including a. for his proof of Torelli's theorem ( On a theorem of Torelli. American Journal of Mathematics Vol. 80, 1958, pp. 801-828). He proved the duality of the Picard and Albanese varieties of an algebraic surface , worked with Alan Mayer on the Schottky problem and with Theodore Frankel on Lefschetz theorems for intersections of hypersurfaces. He also classified the areas contained in an Abelian variety . He is also known for work with Wilhelm Stoll, Hans Grauert , Edoardo Vesentini , R. Narasimhan and François Norguet in complex analysis.

Since 1968 he was a member of the Accademia dei Lincei . He was an honorary doctorate from the University of Nice and received the Feltrinelli Prize in 1971 . He was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Stockholm in 1962 ( Complex pseudoconcave spaces and automorphic functions ) and in Nice in 1970 ( EE Levi convexity and Hans Lewy Problem ). In 1978 he was elected a corresponding member of the Göttingen Academy of Sciences .
