Alessandro Portaluri

Visiting Professor of Mathematics Affiliation: Visiting
Education: Laurea degree University of Pisa; PhD University of Genova

Research Areas: Maslov index, spectral flow, N-body problem, N-vortex problem


Alessandro Portaluri received a Laurea in Matematica from the Università di Pisa; a PhD in Matematica e Applicazioni from the  Università di Genova; and did postdoc work at Università di Milano-Bicocca.

Portaluri is interested in developing an index theory for regular and singular differential operators through spectral flow formulae. His main focus is to detect stability and instability  for (quasi) periodic motions of  vortex cristals for the N-vortex problem and relative equilibria in the N-body problem through variational indices. He also works on ecological and population dynamical modeling
