Paolo Piccione (born 24 April 1964) is an Italian mathematician working in differential geometry, Riemannian geometry and analysis. He is professor at the University of São Paulo since 1996 and president of the Brazilian Mathematical Society since 2017.
Biography[]
Piccione was born in Rome on April 24, 1964, in a genuinely Italian family – his paternal grandfather was from Sicily; and the maternal one of central Italy – of a social class "without any particular prominence", although he enjoyed the important advances of Italian society in the postwar period, Piccione achieved an education in high-level public schools. Like his parents, three decades before him, he graduated from the same Sapienza University of Rome, in Rome, where he obtained Laurea in Matematica and Master degree in 1987 supervisor by Alessandro Figà Talamanca. He received his a PhD in Mathematics degree from the Pennsylvania State University in 1994 advisor by Adrian Ocneanu.[2]
He is currently a full professor at the Institute of Mathematics and Statistics, University of São Paulo, where he teaches since 1996 and completed his livre docência (Doctor of Law's USP).
Work[]
He has experience in mathematics, with emphasis on differential geometry, working mainly on the following topics: calculus of variations and variational geometric problems, Riemannian and global Lorentzian geometry, Morse theory, symplectic geometry and Hamiltonian systems. Piccione develops research that deals with topics with possible applications to physics. The main results achieved in the area of Lorentzian geometry have an interpretation within General Relativity.
