{{Short description|Italian mathematician}} '''Luigi Chierchia''' (born 1957) is an Italian mathematician, specializing in nonlinear differential equations, mathematical physics, and dynamical systems (celestial mechanics and Hamiltonian systems).<ref name=CV>{{cite web|title=Luigi Chierchia, Professor of mathematical analysis (with CV, preprints, etc.)|website=Dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica, Università degli Studi Roma Tre|url=http://www.mat.uniroma3.it/users/chierchia/WWW/english_version.html}}</ref>
Chierchia studied physics and mathematics at the Sapienza University of Rome with ''Laurea'' degree in 1981 with supervisor Giovanni Gallavotti.<ref>{{cite journal|author=Chierchia, L.|title=Meeting Jürgen Moser|journal=Regular and Chaotic Dynamics|volume=14|issue=1|year=2009|pages=5–6|url=http://www.mat.uniroma3.it/users/chierchia/REPRINTS/RCD_Moser_09.pdf|doi=10.1134/S156035470901002X|bibcode=2009RCD....14....5C|s2cid=121007793 }}</ref> After a year of military service, Chierchia studied mathematics at the Courant Institute of New York University and received his PhD there in 1985.<ref name=CV/> His doctoral dissertation ''Quasi-Periodic Schrödinger Operators in One Dimension, Absolutely Continuous Spectra, Bloch Waves and integrable Hamiltonian Systems'' was supervised by Henry P. McKean.<ref>{{MathGenealogy|id = 33283}}</ref> As a postdoc, Chierchia studied at the University of Arizona, ETH Zurich and the École Polytechnique in Paris. Since 2002 he has been Professor of Mathematical Analysis at Roma Tre University.<ref name=CV/>
With Fabio Pusateri and his doctoral student Gabriella Pinzari, he succeeded in extending the KAM theorem for the three-body problem to the n-body problem.<ref>{{cite book|author=Dumas, H.

He has also done research on Arnold diffusion, spectral theory of the quasiperiodic one-dimensional Schrödinger equation, and analogs of KAM theory in infinite-dimensional Hamiltonian systems and partial differential equations (almost periodic nonlinear wave equations).
He was an invited speaker (with Gabriella Pinzari) at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Seoul in 2014,<ref>{{cite book|author=Chierchia, Luigi|author2=Pinzari, Gabriella|chapter=Metric stability of the planetary N–body problem|title=Proceedings of the International Congress of Mathematicians|year=2014|volume=3|pages=547–570|chapter-url=http://ricerca.mat.uniroma3.it/users/procesi/9-2.pdf}}</ref> and at the conference Dynamics, Equations and Applications in Kraków in 2019.<ref>{{Cite web |title=DEA 2019 Invited Speakers |url=https://www.dea.agh.edu.pl/invitedspeakers |access-date=2023-03-15}}</ref>
