More than 100 internationally renowned mathematicians gathered together in Jiaoling to discuss the development of Calabi Yau theory for 40 years
In celebrating the 40th anniversary of the solution of the Calabi conjecture, YMSC organized the international conference on the "Forty Years of Calabi-Yau Theory" at Jiaoling County, Guangdong Province (Professor Shing-Tung Yau's ancestral home) on December 22-23, 2018, together with the People's Government of Jiaoling County. More than 100 internationally renowned mathematicians gathered together in Jiaoling to discuss the development of Calabi Yau theory for 40 years.

More than 100 internationally renowned mathematicians gathered together in Jiaoling to discuss the development of Calabi Yau theory for 40 years.
Professor Shing-Tung Yau delivered a public lecture “Contribution of Geometry Towards Modern Science” to review the history of geometry development and elaborate the role of geometry in promotion for physics and the application of geometry in the areas of modern engineering and medicine. 14 outstanding mathematicians including wolf prize winner Professor Hillel Furstenberg gave academic report at different sessions.
During the conference, the Inauguration Ceremony of the Calabi-Yau Space Sculpture was also held. The conjecture of Calabi was proved by Professor Shing-Tung Yau in 1976. There exists on every Calabi-Yau manifold a Kähler metric with vanishing Ricci curvature. Currently, research on Calabi-Yau manifolds is a central focus both in mathematics and mathematical physics.
