Pietro Corvaja (born 19 July 1967 in Padua, Italy)[1] is an Italian mathematician working in Diophantine geometry. He is a professor of geometry at the University of Udine.[2][3]
Early life and education
[edit]Corvaja was born in Padua, Italy on 19 July 1967.[1] He graduated with a scientific high school diploma from a liceo scientifico in 1985,[1] before enrolling in the University of Pisa as a student of the Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa.[1] He graduated from the Scuola Normale with an undergraduate thesis on the theory of transcendental numbers under the direction of Roberto Dvornicich in 1989.[1][4]
After a one year scholarship at INdAM from 1989 to 1990, Corvaja completed his PhD under Michel Waldschmidt and Michel Laurent at Pierre and Marie Curie University in 1995.[5][1] From 1994 to 1995, he was also a research assistant at the Università Iuav di Venezia as a collaborator of Umberto Zannier.[1] In 2001, Corvaja obtained his habilitation qualification at Pierre and Marie Curie University.[1]
Career
[edit]In 1995, Corvaja became a researcher at the University of Udine.[1] From 1997 to 1998, he was a member of the Institute for Advanced Study under the direction of Enrico Bombieri.[6][1] In 2002, Corvaja became an associate professor of algebra at the University of Udine.[1] Since 2005, he has been a professor of geometry at the University of Udine.[1][4]
Corvaja is the coordinator of the mathematics program and the vice director of the Scuola Superiore (School of Excellence) of the University of Udine.[7][1][8]
Research
[edit]Corvaja and Zannier gave a new proof of Siegel's theorem on integral points in 2002 by using a new method based on the subspace theorem.[9]
Awards
[edit]Corvaja was inducted into the Istituto Veneto di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti on 26 May 2016.[1]
