About me

This is Ezio Sperduto. I'm a Ph.D. student and a friend of knowledge. My origin is for 50% of Gaeta and for 50% of Ponza island. Now I live in Rome, where I attended university and where I think I will work. In this site you will find more stuff about my activities and my passions.

About the world

My favorite form of government is the democracy, the government by the people. I think that the democracy cannot be exported, but only suggested. Only a community can choose their form of government. In this way I think that peace is always possible, also where are religious, ethnic and politic differences.

Who refused Fields Medal

A reclusive Russian mathematician, Grigori ("Grisha") Perelman, who is credited proving the Poincaré conjecture declined to accept the Fields Medal, regarded as the highest honor in the field of mathematics. The Poincaré conjecture is widely considered one of the most important questions in topology (a branch of mathematics concerned with spatial properties preserved under deformation like stretching without tearing or gluing). It is one of the seven Millennium Prize Problems for which the Clay Mathematics Institute is offering a $1,000,000 prize for a correct solution. (From WikiNews.org)
