Eugenio Calabi

Eugenio Calabi ( born May 11, 1923 in Milan ) is an Italian mathematician Subject differential geometry.

Calabi studied at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with a bachelor's degree in 1946 and at the University of Illinois with a master's degree in 1947., 1950, he was at Princeton University, where he was instructor since 1947, his Ph.D.. Calabis providing care professor was Salomon Bochner. In 1951, he was Assistant Professor at Louisiana State University in 1955 and an assistant professor and then professor at the University of Minnesota.

Calabi 1964 was appointed professor of mathematics at the University of Pennsylvania, since 1969 on the " Thomas A. Scott Professorship ". 1973 to 1976 he was standing in front of Mathematics Faculty. He received the 1991 Leroy P. Steele Prize of the American Mathematical Society for his work in the field of differential geometry. In 1994 he became Professor Emeritus.

1958/59 he was at the Institute for Advanced Study. 1962/63 he was a Guggenheim Fellow. He is a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society.

His work on the Kähler metric led to the development of the Calabi -Yau manifold, which is one of his most important work. He suggested in 1954 that Kähler manifolds with vanishing first Chern class have Ricci - flat Kähler metrics ( which at the same Calabi -Yau manifolds defined ), proved by Shing -Tung Yau in 1977.

In 1962 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Stockholm (Operational calculus in several variables).

Calabi, the U.S. citizenship. He has been married since 1952 and has one child.
