Abramo Giulio Umberto Federigo Enriques (5 January 1871 – 14 June 1946) was an Italian mathematician, now known principally as the first to give a
classification of algebraic surfaces in birational geometry, and other contributions in algebraic geometry
.
Biography
Enriques was born in
Fascist
government enacted the "leggi razziali" (racial laws), which in particular banned Jews from holding professorships in Universities.
The Enriques classification, of complex
blowing down
of some curves, that is) accounted for by the models already mentioned.
No more than other work in the Italian school would the proofs by Enriques now be counted as complete and
characteristic p, where new phenomena arise. The schools of Kunihiko Kodaira and Igor Shafarevich
had put Enriques' work on a sound footing by about 1960.
