La Matematica a Roma tra le due Guerre mondiali

La matematica a Roma raggiunge il suo massimo sviluppo nei primi anni '20 del Novecento, quando viene variamente definita La Princeton degli anni '20 (Lefschetz) e Il Paradiso della geometria (Zariski...

Exponential decay of correlations in hyperbolic supersymmetric nonlinear sigma models at high temperature

Supersymmetric nonlinear sigma models arise in the theory of disordered systems and share key features with O(N)-type models. They also exhibit surprising connections with probabilistic models such as...

The Weyl functional on connected sums of four-manifolds

The Weyl energy on four-manifolds is a geometric functional related to the Chern-Gauss-Bonnet formula. Similarly to Willmore’s functional for surfaces embedded in the three-dimensional Euclidean spa...

A non-Archimedean Calabi-Yau theorem

In Kähler geometry, the Calabi-Yau theorem establishes the existence and uniqueness of Kähler metrics with prescribed volume form. In this talk, I will present a non-Archimedean version of this theore...

La matematica a Roma dall'Unità d'Italia alla Prima Guerra Mondiale

La storia della matematica a Roma, dall'Unità di Italia sino al termine della Prima Guerra Mondiale, è strettamente legata alla vita politica, sociale e culturale del Paese. Le sue vicende restituis...

A quick introduction to motives

In this talk, I will give a gentle introduction to the theory of motives, as developed by Voevodsky. I will focus on the basic ideas and main properties, explaining how motives are related to algebrai...

Dispersive estimates for the Dirac-Coulomb model

The Dirac equation is one of the fundamental equations in relativistic quantum mechanics, widely used in a large number of applications from physics to quantum chemistry. From the dynamical point of v...

An introduction to vertex algebras, from a Lie algebraic point of view

Vertex algebras are a notoriously hard topic to introduce. Their axioms are complicated and the formalism (which comes from CFTs) is written in terms of objects, like quantum fields, that can feel unf...

Beyond linear response: an Ohm's law for quantum Hall currents

I will present a recent result that establishes a form of Ohm's law for the quantum Hall current in models of interacting fermions on a lattice at zero temperature. I will focus on two novel aspects: ...

Un modello matematico per l’argomento di Einstein, Podolsky e Rosen (1935)

L’articolo di Einstein, Podolsky e Rosen (EPR) del 1935 è stato di fondamentale importanza sia per il dibattito sui fondamenti della Meccanica Quantistica e sia per il concreto sviluppo della teoria e...

Non-homogeneous Koszul duality in Representation Theory

Koszul duality is a fundamental phenomenon in mathematics. In its original form, it gives a derived equivalence between the module category of a Koszul algebra A and its Koszul dual A!. Koszul algebra...

Moduli e musica

La trasformata di Fourier trasforma funzioni periodiche nella serie delle sue frequenze, chiamata serie di Fourier. Algebricamente si può generalizzare la trasformata per decomporre i moduli, su anell...
