Abstract

In this volume historians propose to reconstruct how Segre’s leadership became recognised in Italy and abroad taking also in account a great number of unpublished and unknown documents. The section dedicated to contributions from the field of algebraic geometry confirms the continuity and the presence of the research themes considered by Corrado Segre. Classical algebraic geometry is sometimes used today as a name for a large active area of research within algebraic geometry. This area appears to be connected in a more direct way to the language, themes, and problems (often concerning concrete examples or special projective varieties), which were familiar to algebraic geometers of Segre’s times. Furthermore, a third part of the volume is enriched by the anastatic print of the unpublished Segre’s manuscript Sulla geometria degli enti algebrici semplicemente infiniti. This document, with an introduction by Alberto Conte, is one of the forty manuscripts which recollect the notes of Segre’s courses during the academic years. It corresponds to the year 1890–1891. This volume is completed by a bibliographical timeline of Segre and by the list of documents of the Segre Archives. The bibliography of the works by Corrado Segre, including all the reports on the papers of his disciples and collaborators, and the list of the hand-written notebooks, closes the volume.
