Gabriele Vezzosi is an Italian mathematician, born in Florence, Italy. His main interest is algebraic geometry.

Vezzosi earned an MS degree in Physics at the University of Florence, under the supervision of Alexandre M. Vinogradov, and a PhD in Mathematics at the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa, under the supervision of Angelo Vistoli. His first papers dealt with differential calculus over commutative rings, intersection theory, (equivariant) algebraic K-theory, motivic homotopy theory, and existence of vector bundles on singular algebraic surfaces.

Around 2001–2002 he started his collaboration with Bertrand Toën. Together, they created homotopical algebraic geometry (HAG), [1] [2] [3] whose more relevant part is derived algebraic geometry (DAG), [4] which is by now a powerful and widespread theory. [5] [6] Slightly later, this theory was reconsidered, and highly expanded by Jacob Lurie.

More recently, Vezzosi together with Tony Pantev, Bertrand Toën and Michel Vaquié defined a derived version of symplectic structures [7] and studied important properties and examples (an important instance being Kai Behrend's symmetric obstruction theories); further together with Damien Calaque these authors introduced and studied a derived version of Poisson and coisotropic structures [8] with applications to deformation quantization. [9]

Lately Toën and Vezzosi (partly in collaboration with Anthony Blanc and Marco Robalo) moved to applications of derived and non-commutative geometry to arithmetic geometry, especially to Spencer Bloch's conductor conjecture. [10] [11] [12]

Vezzosi also defined a derived version of quadratic forms, and in collaboration with Benjamin Hennion and Mauro Porta, proved a very general formal gluing result along non-linear flags [13] with hints of application to a yet conjectural Geometric Langlands program for varieties of dimension bigger than 1. Together with Benjamin Antieau, Vezzosi proved a Hochschild–Kostant–Rosenberg theorem (HKR) for varieties of dimension p in characteristic p. [14]

In 2015 he organised the Oberwolfach Seminar on Derived Geometry [15] at the Mathematical Research Institute of Oberwolfach in Germany, and is an organiser of the one-semester thematic program at Mathematical Sciences Research Institute in Berkeley, California in 2019 on Derived algebraic geometry. [6]

Vezzosi spent his career so far in Pisa, Florence, Bologna and Paris, has had three PhD students (Schürg, Porta and Melani) and is full professor at the University of Florence (Italy).

Noncommutative geometry (NCG) is a branch of mathematics concerned with a geometric approach to noncommutative algebras, and with the construction of spaces that are locally presented by noncommutative algebras of functions, possibly in some generalized sense. A noncommutative algebra is an associative algebra in which the multiplication is not commutative, that is, for which does not always equal ; or more generally an algebraic structure in which one of the principal binary operations is not commutative; one also allows additional structures, e.g. topology or norm, to be possibly carried by the noncommutative algebra of functions.

In mathematical physics, geometric quantization is a mathematical approach to defining a quantum theory corresponding to a given classical theory. It attempts to carry out quantization, for which there is in general no exact recipe, in such a way that certain analogies between the classical theory and the quantum theory remain manifest. For example, the similarity between the Heisenberg equation in the Heisenberg picture of quantum mechanics and the Hamilton equation in classical physics should be built in.

In mathematics, the field with one element is a suggestive name for an object that should behave similarly to a finite field with a single element, if such a field could exist. This object is denoted F1, or, in a French–English pun, Fun. The name "field with one element" and the notation F1 are only suggestive, as there is no field with one element in classical abstract algebra. Instead, F1 refers to the idea that there should be a way to replace sets and operations, the traditional building blocks for abstract algebra, with other, more flexible objects. Many theories of F1 have been proposed, but it is not clear which, if any, of them give F1 all the desired properties. While there is still no field with a single element in these theories, there is a field-like object whose characteristic is one.

In mathematics, especially (higher) category theory, higher-dimensional algebra is the study of categorified structures. It has applications in nonabelian algebraic topology, and generalizes abstract algebra.

In mathematics, the Gelfand–Zeitlin system is an integrable system on conjugacy classes of Hermitian matrices. It was introduced by Guillemin and Sternberg (1983), who named it after the Gelfand–Zeitlin basis, an early example of canonical basis, introduced by I. M. Gelfand and M. L. Cetlin in 1950s. Kostant and Wallach (2006) introduced a complex version of this integrable system.

Derived algebraic geometry is a branch of mathematics that generalizes algebraic geometry to a situation where commutative rings, which provide local charts, are replaced by either differential graded algebras, simplicial commutative rings or -ring spectra from algebraic topology, whose higher homotopy groups account for the non-discreteness of the structure sheaf. Grothendieck's scheme theory allows the structure sheaf to carry nilpotent elements. Derived algebraic geometry can be thought of as an extension of this idea, and provides natural settings for intersection theory of singular algebraic varieties and cotangent complexes in deformation theory, among the other applications.

In algebraic geometry, a derived stack is, roughly, a stack together with a sheaf of commutative ring spectra. It generalizes a derived scheme. Derived stacks are the "spaces" studied in derived algebraic geometry.

In mathematics, in particular abstract algebra and topology, a homotopy Lie algebra is a generalisation of the concept of a differential graded Lie algebra. To be a little more specific, the Jacobi identity only holds up to homotopy. Therefore, a differential graded Lie algebra can be seen as a homotopy Lie algebra where the Jacobi identity holds on the nose. These homotopy algebras are useful in classifying deformation problems over characteristic 0 in deformation theory because deformation functors are classified by quasi-isomorphism classes of -algebras. This was later extended to all characteristics by Jonathan Pridham.
