Enrico Arbarello

Enrico Arbarello (* 1945 ) is an Italian mathematician who deals with algebraic geometry.

Life

Arbarello ( a former student of Emma Castelnuovo, the daughter of Guido Castelnuovo ) made ​​in 1969 at the University of Rome his degree and was at Columbia University in Lipman Bers ( and Herbert Clemens ) PhD ( Weierstrass points and moduli of curves ) 1973. He was then to 1975 and from 1979 to 1981 assistant professor at Harvard University. 1982 to 1996 he was professor of mathematics at the Sapienza in Rome. He then until 2000 was professor at the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa (whose Annali he also edited ). Currently, he is again a professor at the University La Sapienza in Rome.

1993/94 and 2005 he was polytechnique at the Institute for Advanced Study, 1983 at the École ( as Maître de recherche ), 1984/85 and 1999 at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences of New York University, in 1992 at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, 1988 at MIT, 2004 at Columbia University and in 1995 at the Institut Henri Poincaré in Paris.

He dealt, inter alia, to with the moduli space of algebraic curves and its relation to mathematical physics ( Korteweg -de Vries equation and KP equation).

In 1986 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Berkeley ( Periods of Abelian integrals, theta functions and differential equations of Korteweg - de Vries type). He is a member of the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei and Italian ( Accademia Nazionale delle Scienze ) and European Academy of Sciences. In 1986, he received the Medal of the Italian Academy of Sciences. In 2006 he was a member of the Fields Medal Committee, which, among other things, the price awarded to Grigory Perelman. He is a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society.
