Incredible Ideas

Andrea Parlangeli

Chapter Chapter 9 in A Pure Soul, 2019, pp 75-84 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In Pisa, De Giorgi’s mathematics developed to maturity. The work he had undertaken up to that point in measure theory, further consolidating what were also Caccioppoli’s ideas, helped him to face new and more complex subjects. Those ideas had already begun circulating in the United States, where they had been considered by Wendell Fleming, Fred Almgren, and Herbert Federer. Now, the more difficult part was using those techniques to demonstrate the regularity of minimal surfaces. De Giorgi, who, unlike most other researchers, did not care about publishing, concentrated on his objectives. The result was that for 2 years at least he did not publish anything.
