Xinyi Yuan ( Chinese: 袁新意; born 1981) is a Chinese mathematician who is currently a professor of mathematics at Peking University working in number theory, arithmetic geometry, and automorphic forms. [1] In particular, his work focuses on arithmetic intersection theory, algebraic dynamics, Diophantine equations and special values of L-functions.
Yuan is from Macheng, Huanggang, Hubei province, and graduated from Huanggang Middle School in 2000. [2] That year, he received a gold medal at the International Mathematical Olympiad while representing China. [3] Yuan obtained his A.B. in mathematics from Peking University in 2003 and his Ph.D. in mathematics from the Columbia University in 2008 under the direction of Shou-Wu Zhang. [4] His article "Big Line Bundles over Arithmetic Varieties," published in Inventiones Mathematicae, demonstrates a natural sufficient condition for when the orbit under the absolute Galois group is equidistributed. [5]
He spent time at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton University, and Harvard University before joining the Berkeley faculty in 2012. [6]
Yuan was appointed a Clay Research Fellow for a three-year term from 2008 to 2013. [7] Together with a number of other collaborators, Yuan was profiled in Quanta Magazine and Business Insider for, among other things, his research on L-functions. [8] [9]
Yuan left UC Berkeley to become a full professor at Peking University in 2020. [10]
Together with Shou-Wu Zhang, Yuan proved the averaged Colmez conjecture which was later shown to imply the André–Oort conjecture for Siegel modular varieties by Jacob Tsimerman. [11] [12]
