Clay Mathematics Institute was one of the most influential math research institutes in
the world, having attracted many world-renowned scholars from universities and
institutes such as Harvard, Princeton, Cornell, Courant Institute, Imperial College、
IHES、Institut Fourier, to attend this meeting, like Fields awards winner Michael
Atiyah、William Thurston、Stephen Smale、Simon Donaldson, and Abel prize winner.

Tian Gang was born in Nanjing, currently a Professor at Peking University, director of
Peking International Mathematics Research Center and professor in Princeton
University. Tian Gang has solved a series of geometry and mathematical physics
major issues, especially in the research of Kä hler-Einstein Metrics, in which he
fully resolved the complex surface case and found that the measurement and the
stability of geometry are closely connected. Collaborating with others, he established
the strict mathematical basis for the theory of quantum cohomology and firstly
demonstrated that the quantum cohomology can be conjugated to solve the Arnold
conjecture for symplectic non-degenerate case. Tian Gang also has outstanding
achievements in high-dimensional gauge field theory, by which he established the
deep connection between the establishments of a self-dual Yang-Mills contact with
geometric scaling. In 1994, Tian Gang was awarded the "Waterman Award‖ by the
National Foundation. In 1996, Tian Gang was awarded the ―Veblen Geometry Prize"
by the Mathematical Association of the United States.
