Scientific activity

Malchiodi received his Ph.D. in mathematics from the International School for Advanced Studies in 2000 under the supervision of Antonio Ambrosetti.[ citation needed ] He is a professor of mathematics at the Scuola Normale Superiore at Pisa. He was previously professor of mathematics at the International School for Advanced Studies and at the University of Warwick.[ citation needed ] Malchiodi has developed topological and analytical methods allowing to deal with a number of questions in geometric analysis, such as the Yamabe problem, the scalar curvature problem, problems coming from fourth order conformal geometry and concentration for singular perturbation problems. [1] [2] [3] In particular, he proved some new intricate forms of improved Moser-Trudinger inequalities allowing to prove existence results for singular Liouville equations. [4] Similar types of inequalities allow to prove existence results for Toda systems on surfaces. [5] Malchiodi has been visiting professor in many universities and institutions, amongst which are Stanford University, The Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, and ETH at Zurich.[ citation needed ] He belongs to the editorial board of several mathematical journals and is one of the managing editors of the journal Calculus of Variations & PDE. [6]

Recognition

Malchiodi was awarded the Caccioppoli prize in 2006.[ citation needed ] In 2005 he was awarded, jointly with Antonio Ambrosetti, the Ferran Sunyer i Balaguer prize. [7] Malchiodi was included in the list of invited speakers at the 2014 International Congress of Mathematicians in Seoul. [8]

In mathematics, k-Hessian equations are partial differential equations (PDEs) based on the Hessian matrix. More specifically, a Hessian equation is the k-trace, or the kth elementary symmetric polynomial of eigenvalues of the Hessian matrix. When k ≥ 2, the k-Hessian equation is a fully nonlinear partial differential equation. It can be written as , where , , and , are the eigenvalues of the Hessian matrix and , is a th elementary symmetric polynomial.
