Vittorio Dalla Volta
Vittorio Dalla Volta (born July 2, 1918 in Rome ; † March 3, 1982 in Naples ) was an Italian mathematician who dealt with differential geometry .
Vittorio Dalla Volta studied at the University of Rome with a laureate degree from Enrico Bompiani in 1940, where he was persecuted for racial reasons and was deported to Germany for some time. From 1947 he was an assistant and then a lecturer (Professore incaricato) at the University of Rome. In 1959 he became a professor in Bari and in 1962 in Naples.
Among other things, he dealt with asymmetrical affine relationships, local deformations of surfaces in Euclidean space, differential geometry in the space of symmetrical matrices (especially Siegel-Hua spaces), geodetically complete spaces and the complete geometric characterization of plane aspects of vanishing curvature.
