Preface
Since2001theScuolaNormaleSuperiorediPisahasorganizedthe“Col-
loquio De Giorgi”, a series of colloquium talks named after Ennio De
Giorgi,theeminentanalystwhowasaProfessorattheScuolafrom1959
untilhisdeathin1996.
The Colloquio takes place once a month. It is addressed to a general
mathematicalaudience,andespeciallymeanttoattractgraduatestudents
andadvancedundergraduatestudents. Thelecturesareintendedtobenot

of the general topic, possibly in a historical perspective, together with a
descriptionofmorerecentprogress.
