In my Overleaf document I created a .bib file with Overleaf-supported syntax (on Overleaf I always use \usepackage[backend=biber, style=alphabetic, sorting=ynt]{biblatex}), but when I copy my .bib file into TexStudio, this editor doesn't succed in read that .bib file. I found motivation: Overleaf syntax is bitty different with respect TexStudio one.

Is possible to convert a .bib file for Overleaf in .bib file for TexStudio? OR, does exist another way to solve my problem?

Thanks in advance

First Edit: I use pdfLatex distribution and I setted Biber as indicated to myself in your comments. My problems are: citation undefined, why?

If it can be of use to you, the code of my .bib file (named Frobenius.bib)

    There should not be any difference between Overleaf and TexStudio, the syntax of bib files is exactly the same. What do you mean exactly with "TexStudio doesn't succed in read[ing] that .bib file"? Do you get an error message? If yes, what does it say? Is the problem while loading the file or while compiling your document? Did you select Biber as a bibliography compiler in TexStudio instead of BibTeX? – Marijn Mar 09 '24 at 16:40

    The .bib syntax is always the same no matter which editor you use. There are subtle differences between the meanings of fields etc. when you change between biblatex or BibTeX (or indeed between different BIbTeX/biblatex styles), but that should usually not lead to errors. It's more likely that your local setup with TeXstudio is not exactly the same as Overleaf. Overleaf runs latexmk which can run Biber etc. for you automatically. Locally you may have to configure your editor to run Biber for you https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/154751/35864. – moewe Mar 09 '24 at 16:53

    TeXstudio is an editor and a front-end to a (back-end) TeX distribution. (Overleaf uses TeXLive as its back-end.) Which TeX distribution do you employ, and when did you most recently update your TeX distribution? – Mico Mar 09 '24 at 16:55

    If you did run Biber, you should find a .blg file (despite what your computer may tell you this is a simple text file you can open with any text editor), what does it say? Copy the complete contents into your question. – moewe Mar 09 '24 at 17:25

    overleaf and texstudio do not process the bib file at all they are just the editors you can use to write it the syntax is that of biber so is the same in both systems. – David Carlisle Mar 09 '24 at 18:38

Your bib file contains numerous inconsistencies and errors. One of them is the use of the @article entry type for entries that do not appear to have been published in scholarly journals; I suggest you use the catch-all @misc entry type for these -- unless, of course, you can come up with better alternatives. Quite a few of your entries fail to make effective use of the date field, which is new to biblatex/biber and isn't recognized by BibTeX.

The field

publisher= {Graduate Texts in Mathematics 218, Springer Verlag},

combines information that should be spread over three fields:

series   = {Graduate Texts in Mathematics},
number   = {218},
publisher= {Springer Verlag},

You also ask,

My problems are: citation undefined, why?

Since your posting doesn't contain any \cite instructions, this question simply cannot be answered with the information you've chosen to provide.

The following screenshot shows the first few entries of the updated bib file. It was compiled with TeXworks as the front end and MacTeX2023 as the back end. As long as your TeX distribution is set up correctly and is reasonably up to date, you should have no problems recreating it with TeXstudio.
