Ph.D. thesis:
In my Ph.D. thesis "Variational systems of singular Liouville systems" I studied singular Liouville systems on compact surfaces, that is system of second order elliptic PDEs with exponential nonlinearities, from a variational point of view. I first gave sufficient and necessary conditions for the existence of global minima solutions; then, I showed some existence results for min-max solutions; finally, I gave some non-existence results (see publications (2) - (7) above).
Here is the full text .pdf and a brief review .pdf (in English).


Master's degree thesis:
In my Master's degree thesis "Sobolev inequality in the limiting case and exponential integrability" I studied the limiting case p=N of Sobolev embedding, showing the asymptotic behavior for large p of the best Sobolev constant and of the functions which realize it, and stressing the relation with exponential integrability. I then considered the classical Moser-Trudinger inequality for bounded Euclidean domains and its possible extensions to unbounded domains and to conformal metrics on the unit ball, finding original results (see above). I finally studied the problem of extremals for Moser-Trudinger inequality, reported the known results for bounded domains and gave some extensions (see publication (1) above).
Here is a brief review (in Italian) .pdf.
