Luigi Fantappiè
Luigi Fantappiè (born September 15, 1901 in Viterbo , † July 28, 1956 in Bagnaia ) was an Italian mathematician .
Fantappiè received his Laureate degree in mathematics in 1922 at the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa with Luigi Bianchi and was assistant to Francesco Severi at the University of Rome from 1925 to 1927 . In 1927 he became professor of analysis at the University of Cagliari through competition . In 1928 he moved to the University of Palermo and in 1932 to the University of Bologna . From 1934 to 1940 he was at the University of São Paulo in Brazil, where he helped to build up the mathematics faculty. From 1940 he was a professor at the Institute for Higher Mathematics in Rome (Istituto di Alta Matematica).
Like his teacher Volterra, he dealt with functional analysis and is known for transferring the Cauchy integral formula to more than one complex dimension (Cauchy-Fantappiè formulas or integrals, sometimes also named after Jean Leray ).
Later he dealt with philosophical questions with an overarching treatment of physics and biology based on the negentropy ( syntropy ) concept and projective relativity theory (with the special relativity theory as a borderline case).
In 1929 he received the Mathematics Prize of the Accademia dei XL . He was a member of the Accademia dei Lincei , whose Premio Reale he received in 1931.
