Wednesday 28 January 2026 at 5 pm, for the cycle "Please Don't Delete: Math Dialogues", Prof. Luigi Ambrosio (Scuola Normale Superiore, Pisa) will give a talk titled Some topics in Real Analysis and Measure Theory, a century after Giuseppe Vitali.
Abstract: In my seminar, I will illustrate Giuseppe Vitali's main contributions to Real Analysis and Measure Theory, trying to establish a bridge between his pioneering research and some current research topics.
The meeting will take place in Room Sironi U4-8 (U4 Building | Piazza della Scienza 4, Milano) University of Milano-Bicocca and will be introduced by Prof. Gianmario Tessitore, Director of the Department.
The event will be recorded. Any recordings of the audience may be occasional and accessory. For further information on the processing of personal data, please read the Privacy Policy available at this link.
An apero will follow.
Luigi Ambrosio is an Italian mathematician and full professor of Mathematical Analysis at the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa, where he has been Director since 2019. He is an internationally renowned figure in the field of mathematical analysis, particularly in variational calculus, measure theory, partial differential equations and optimal transport theory.
His scientific contributions had a significant impact on the development of the theory of bounded variation (BV) functions, continuity equations, and flows associated with non-regular vector fields. He is the author of numerous fundamental articles and monographs widely used in advanced research.
Throughout his career, he has received important awards, including the Caccioppoli Prize (1999), the Feltrinelli Prize (2012) and the ERC Advanced Grant. He is a member of several scientific academies and plays an active role in the international mathematical community.
