Mirror symmetry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Andrew Strominger, Shing-Tung Yau, and Eric Zaslow have showed that mirror symmetry is a special example of T-duality: the Calabi-Yau manifold may be written as a fiber bundle whose fiber is a three-dimensional torus. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Mirror_symmetry   (276 words)

Shing-Tung Yau - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Shing-Tung Yau (丘成桐; Pinyin: Qīu Chéngtóng; born April 4, 1949) is a prominent mathematician working in differential geometry, and involved in the theory of Calabi-Yau manifolds. Shing-Tung Yau at Harvard Law School dining hall Yau moved to Hong Kong with his family where, after graduating from Pui Ching Middle School, he studied mathematics at the Chinese University of Hong Kong from 1966 to 1969. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Shing-Tung_Yau   (281 words)

Yau Shing-Tung Yau studied for his doctorate at the University of California at Berkeley under Chern's supervision. Yau was awarded a Fields Medal in 1982 for his contributions to partial differential equations, to the Calabi conjecture in algebraic geometry, to the positive mass conjecture of general relativity theory, and to real and complex Monge-Ampère equations. Yau was appointed assistant professor at the State University of New York at Stony Brook in 1972. homepages.compuserve.de /thweidenfeller/mathematiker/Yau.htm   (680 words)

The Alfred Brauer Lectures 2006 Yau is a student of differential geometry, especially Riemannian geometry and its connections with algebraic geometry, analysis, and mathematical physics. Yau has lectured extensively, including a plenary lecture at the International Congress of Mathematicians, the Colloquium Lectures for the American Mathematical Society, and the Eilenberg Lectures at Columbia University. Professor Yau will give three lectures on “Analysis on Complex Manifolds.” The titles, times and locations of each lecture can be found on the main page. www.math.unc.edu /TheAlfredBrauerLectures2006.htm   (611 words)

Shing-Tung Yau Yau has made profound contributions to mathematics with his unparalleled ability for combining the theories of nonlinear partial differential equations and differential geometry. Yau, working collaboratively with Richard M. Schoen, solved a long-standing open problem in relativity theory, by showing the positivity of mass for space-time. Yau's work is distinguished by its enormous breadth, power and insight. www.networkchinese.com /chineseprof/university/university/harvard/styau.html   (171 words)

People's Daily Online -- World famous mathematician slams academic corruption in China Yau said China's mathematical research was close to the top level in the world before the Cultural Revolution in the 1960s, when much of academia was purged in the campaign for ideological purity. Yau, who is the only Chinese American winner of the Fields Medal, lashed out at rampant plagiarism in Chinese academia in an interview by a Beijing newspaper. Yau, a professor at Harvard University, has many contacts with Chinese students and researchers and pays close attention to the training of mathematicians in China. english.people.com.cn /200508/18/eng20050818_203206.html   (430 words)

YAU Professor Shing-Tung Yau was awarded a Fields Medal in 1982 for his contributions in the area of geometric partial differential equations, including his solution of the Calabi Conjecture in algebraic geometry, his solution of the Positive Mass Conjecture in general relativity, and his work on real and complex Monge-Ampere equations. In 1981 Yau was awarded The Oswald Veblen Prize in Geometry, in 1994 the Crafoord Prize of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, and in 1997 the National Medal of Science. In other work Yau constructed minimal surfaces, studied their stability, and made a deep analysis of how they behave in space-time. www.math.ufl.edu /dept_news_events/special/yau   (395 words)

Three Awarded Nation's Highest Science Honor Yau, who came to Harvard in 1987, was cited for "profound contributions to mathematics that have had a great impact on fields as diverse as topology, algebraic geometry, general relativity, and string theory. Yau did research and taught at Stanford University, the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, the University of Texas, and the University of California, San Diego. Yau could not be reached for comment, but the National Medal of Science can be added to his long list of other prizes. www.news.harvard.edu /gazette/1997/05.01/ThreeAwardedNat.html   (549 words)

China's reverse brain drain plan 'risks backfiring' - SciDev.Net Shing-tung Yau, a Chinese-born professor based at Harvard University, made the remarks at a seminar on mathematics in Beijing on 3 August. According to a report in the Beijing-based newspaper Science Times on 18 August, Yau said that many of the foreign researchers failed to do full-time research, as required by their contracts, yet were paid several times more than their local counterparts. For 20 years, Yau has helped China organise international scientific exchanges and attract foreign researchers of Chinese origin to teach and do research in China. www.scidev.net /News/index.cfm?fuseaction=printarticle&itemid=2322&language=1   (427 words)

S.T. Yau's Home Page Yau was a student in Chung Chi College from 1966 to 1969. Yau took courses from L.O. Tse, H. Chow, S. Salaff, R. Turner-Smith and E. Brody (the Math Department was small then and only consisted of these teachers together with T. So and C. Yung Chao). Yau also audited courses from a few professors of other colleges (D. Fremlin, J. Knight, K. Ng in United College and K.T. Leung on Algebra in Hong Kong University). www.ims.cuhk.edu.hk /~yau   (250 words)

liu.doc Another corollary is a proof of the equivalences of all of the known classical complete metrics to the new metrics, in particular Yau's conjectures on the equivalences of the Kahler-Einstein metric to the Teichmuller and the Bergman metric. Based on the detailed analysis of these new metrics, we have a good understanding of the Kahler-Einstein metric from which we prove that the logarithmic cotangent bundle of the moduli space is stable. math.ucr.edu /home/Calendar/colloquia/fall/liu.doc   (109 words)
