Archivi, Biblioteche, Musei L’archivio e la biblioteca di Francesco G. Tricomi ∗ ERIKA LUCIANO - LUISA ROSSO 1. Francesco Giacomo Tricomi1 Nato a Napoli il 5 maggio 1897 in un’agiata famiglia borghese, Tricomi frequenta l’Istituto tecnico locale, dove concepisce una passione per gli studi scientifici grazie all’influenza del suo insegnante di Matematica Alfredo Perna. Conseguito il diploma all’età di appena sedici anni, s’iscrive al corso di laurea in Chimica dell’Università di Bologna. L’anno successivo passa a Fisica e infine, nel 1915-16, torna a Napoli e si immatricola al terz’anno del corso di studi in Matematica. Arruolato nell’autunno del 1916, segue un corso per allievi ufficiali di complemento presso l’Accademia militare di Torino e il 1 aprile 1917, fresco di nomina, è inviato al fronte, dapprima sul Carso e poi nella zona del monte Grappa e del Piave. Nonostante la guerra, riesce comunque a portare avanti gli studi scientifici e consegue la laurea in Matematica a Napoli il 16 aprile 1918, durante una licenza. Terminata la Grande Guerra, Tricomi torna a Napoli all’inizio del 1920, decorato di due croci al merito, e riallaccia i rapporti con alcuni suoi ex docenti, fra cui R. Marcolongo e G. Torelli che lo indirizzano nelle prime ricerche e lo mettono in contatto con G. Fubini. Nel febbraio del 1921, su suggerimento di U. Amaldi, è assunto da F. Severi quale assistente alla cattedra di Geometria analitica presso l’Università di Padova. L’esperienza alla ‘Scuola’ di Severi è tuttavia di breve durata, poiché nei primi mesi del 1922 Tricomi è chiamato a Roma dove consegue la libera docenza in Analisi algebrica e infinitesimale e dove ha modo di inserirsi in un ambiente accademico di eccezionale levatura, che vanta in quegli anni la presenza di illustri matematici, fra cui V. -

Arxiv:0707.3327V1 [Math.AP] 23 Jul 2007 Some Connections Between
Some connections between results and problems of De Giorgi, Moser and Bangert Hannes Junginger-Gestrich & Enrico Valdinoci∗ October 31, 2018 Abstract Using theorems of Bangert, we prove a rigidity result which shows how a question raised by Bangert for elliptic integrands of Moser type is connected, in the case of minimal solutions without self-intersections, to a famous conjecture of De Giorgi for phase transitions. 1 Introduction The purpose of this note is to relate some probelms posed by Moser [Mos86], Bangert [Ban89] and De Giorgi [DG79]. In particular, we point out that a rigidity result in a question raised by Bangert for the case of minimal solutions of elliptic integrands would imply a one-dimensional symmetry for minimal phase transitions connected to a famous conjecture of De Giorgi. Though the proofs we present here are mainly a straightening of the existing literature, we hope that our approach may clarify some points in these important problems and provide useful connections. 1.1 The De Giorgi setting arXiv:0707.3327v1 [math.AP] 23 Jul 2007 A classical phase transition model (known in the literature under the names of Allen, Cahn, Ginzburg, Landau, van der Vaals, etc.) consists in the study ∗Addresses: HJG, Mathematisches Institut, Albert-Ludwigs-Universit¨at Freiburg, Abteilung f¨ur Reine Mathematik, Eckerstraße 1, 79104 Freiburg im Breisgau (Germany), [email protected], EV, Dipartimento di Matemati- ca, Universit`adi Roma Tor Vergata, Via della Ricerca Scientifica 1, 00133 Roma (Italy), [email protected].

L' Addio a Un Grande Matematico
CAPITOLO 1 L' ADDIO A UN GRANDE MATEMATICO Si riportano i discorsi pronunciati il 27 ottobre 1996 nel cortile della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa, in occasione del commiato accademico. Nello stesso giorno, presso la Chiesa di S. Frediano (Pisa) si `e tenuto il fu- nerale, officiato dal teologo Severino Dianich; il giorno dopo presso la Basilica di S. Croce (Lecce) il funerale `e stato officiato dall' Arcivescovo di Lecce, Cosmo Francesco Ruppi. 1.1 DISCORSO DI L. MODICA Intervento di Luciano Modica, allievo di De Giorgi e Rettore dell' Universita` di Pisa. Confesso che quando Franco Bassani e Luigi Radicati mi hanno chiesto di prendere la parola oggi durante questo triste e solenne commiato acca- demico da Ennio De Giorgi, la mia prima reazione `e stata quella di tirarmi indietro, temendo che l' empito della commozione e dei ricordi dell' allie- vo sopraffacessero la partecipazione, certo commossa, ma necessariamente composta, di chi qui `e chiamato da Rettore a rappresentare l' Ateneo pisa- no e la sua comunita` di studenti e docenti. Se poi ho accettato, non `e stato perch´e, sono sicuro di superare questo timore, ma perch´e spero che tutti voi familiari, allievi, amici di Ennio, saprete comprendere e scusare l' emotivita` da cui forse non riusciro` ad evitare che sia pervaso il tono delle mie parole. Perch´e la vostra presenza in questo cortile, le cui soavi linee architettoniche tanto Ennio ha amato e che rimangono per tanti dei presenti indissolubil- mente legate alla loro giovinezza, non ha nulla del dovere accademico, se 2 L' ADDIO A UN GRANDE MATEMATICO non i suoi aspetti spirituali piu` alti, mentre invece vuole manifestare la ri- conoscenza e l' affetto tutti umani verso una persona accanto a cui abbiamo avuto il privilegio di trascorrere un periodo piu` o meno lungo, ma sempre indimenticabile, della nostra vita. -
The Bernstein Theorem in Higher Dimensions
The Bernstein Theorem in Higher Dimensions Umberto Massari,∗ Mario Mirandayand Michele Miranda Jr ∗ Dedicated to the memory of Guido Stampacchia Abstract. { In this work we have reconsidered the famous paper of Bombieri, De Gior- gi and Giusti [4] and, thanks to the software Mathematicar we made it possible for anybody to control the difficult computations. 1. { Introduction On April 27th, 1978, Guido Stampacchia died in Paris. His coffin arrived to Pisa for the Adieu Ceremonial, in the Courtyard of Scuola Normale. That day I was there, and I could not meet Ennio De Giorgi. The apparent absence of him seemed impossible to me, considering the lasting and close friendship between Ennio and Guido. Many years later, Sergio Spagnolo told me that Ennio remained, the whole duration of the Ceremonial, hidden in a corner of the building. The modesty did not permit Ennio to show around his sorrow. Guido had been a putative father for Ennio; he protected a younger and precious man, as long as he could. In March 1961, De Giorgi was invited to Paris for giving two talks. Stampacchia wanted to join him in the trip. There exists a beautiful picture of the two friends, on the Rive Gauche with N^otreDame behind them. A French mathematician told me that Stampacchia in Paris seemed to be the Assistant Professor of De Giorgi. He was wrong. Stampacchia had never been an academic servant. He could be said a devotee of Mathematics. In 1955 Guido pushed Ennio into studying the XIX Hilbert's Problem [5]. And, in 1968 Guido pushed Enrico Bombieri to work with De Giorgi. -
Sets with Finite Perimeter in Wiener Spaces, Perimeter Measure and Boundary Rectifiability

We discuss some recent developments of the theory of BV func- tions and sets of finite perimeter in infinite-dimensional Gaussian spaces. In this context the concepts of Hausdorff measure, approximate continuity, recti- fiability have to be properly understood. After recalling the known facts, we prove a Sobolev-rectifiability result and we list some open problems. 1. Introduction. This paper is devoted to the theory of sets of finite perimeter in infinite-dimensional Gaussian spaces. We illustrate some recent results, we provide some new ones and eventually we discuss some open problems. We start first with a discussion of the finite-dimensional theory, referring to [13] and [3] for much more on this subject. Recall that a Borel set E Rm is said to be of ⊂ finite perimeter if there exists a vector valued measure DχE = (D1χE,...,DmχE) with finite total variation in Rm satisfying the integration by parts formula: ∂φ 1 m dx = φ dDiχE i =1,...,m, φ Cc (R ). (1) ∂x − Rm ∀ ∀ ∈ ZE i Z De Giorgi proved in [10] (see also [11]) a deep result on the structure of DχE , which could be considered as the starting point of modern Geometric Measure Theory. -

Sobolev Spaces on Gelfand Pairs
Sobolev spaces on Gelfand pairs Mateusz Krukowski Institute of Mathematics, Łódź University of Technology, Wólczańska 215, 90-924 Łódź, Poland e-mail: [email protected] March 20, 2020 Abstract The primary aim of the paper is the study of Sobolev spaces in the context of Gelfand pairs. The article commences with providing a historical overview and motivation for the researched subject together with a summary of the current state of the literature. What follows is a general outline of harmonic analysis on Gelfand pairs, starting with a concept of positive-semidefinite functions, through spherical functions and spherical transform and concluding with the Hausdorff-Young inequality. The main part of the paper introduces the notion of Sobolev spaces on Gelfand pairs and studies the prop- erties of these spaces. It turns out that Sobolev embedding theorems and Rellich-Kondrachov theorem still hold true in this generalized context (if certain technical caveats are taken into consideration). Keywords : Gelfand pairs, spherical transform, Hausdorff-Young inequality, Sobolev spaces, Sobolev embedding theorems, Rellich-Kondrachov theorem, bosonic string equation AMS Mathematics Subject Classification : 43A15, 43A32, 43A35, 43A40, 43A90 1 Introduction It is difficult to imagine a mathematician working in a field of differential equations, who has not heard of Sobolev spaces. These spaces are named after Sergei Sobolev (1908 ´ 1989), although they were known before the rise of the Russian mathematician to academic stardom. In 1977 Gaetano Fichera wrote arXiv:2003.08519v1 [math.FA] 19 Mar 2020 (comp. [32]): “These spaces, at least in the particular case p “ 2, were known since the very beginning of this century, to the Italian mathematicians Beppo Levi and Guido Fubini who investigated the Dirichlet minimum principle for elliptic equations.” According to Fichera, at the beginning of the fifties, a group of French mathematicians decided to dub the spaces in question and they came up with the name “Beppo Levi spaces”.
