刘克峰

Speaker Bio

Professor Kefeng Liu is an internationally famous mathematician. He is currently professor of mathematics at University of California, Los Angeles, and the director of the Mathematical Science Research Center of Chongqing University of Technology. He is editor-in-chief of the top mathematical journal “Communications of Analysis and Geometry”. He received his PhD from Harvard University in 1993 under the supervision of S.-T. Yau. Liu has made first class contributions to differential geometry, topology and mathematical physics, he has published more than 180 papers in top mathematical journals. He was an invited speaker of the 2002 International Congress of Mathematicians, has received the Morningside Gold Medal of Mathematics which is the highest honor of Chinese descendants in mathematics, and  was rewarded the 2004 top 10 scientific advances of the Education Ministry of China, the famous Guggenheim fellowship, the Sloan fellowship and the Terman fellowship.

Abstract

Based on my own experience I will present the exciting interactions and developments of mathematics and physics, in particular string theory. The grand unification theory in physics produced many remarkable mathematical problems and many new original ideas which stimulated the development and grand unification of mathematics. On the other hand, the solutions of these problems in mathematics perfectly verify the new theories of physics.

我将从我个人的学习和研究经历出发，介绍数学与理论物理，特别是超弦理论的交融发展。物理的大统一理论提出的许多惊人的数学问题和崭新的想法有力地推动了数学本身的发展和统一。而这些问题在数学上的解决也完美地验证了新的物理理论。
