Tian Ye (mathematician)

Tian Ye (* around 1971) is a Chinese mathematician who studies number theory and arithmetic geometry.

He is quoted as Ye Tian in Western literature.

Tian Ye studied from 1989 at the University of Sichuan (Diploma 1996), then went to the University of Science and Technology in China and from 1998 to Columbia University , where he received his doctorate in 2003 with Shou-Wu Zhang (Euler Systems of CM Points on Shimura Curves). As a post-doctoral student , he worked with Andrew Wiles at the Institute for Advanced Study in 2003/04 and then at McGill University . He has been researching and teaching at the Academy of Mathematics and Systems Theory (AMSS) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing since 2006 .

In 2007 he received the Morningside Medal in silver and in 2013 in gold at the International Congress of Chinese Mathematics (ICCM). In 2013 he received the ICTP Ramanujan Prize . In the laudation, his completion of the proof of the multiplicity 1 conjecture for local theta correspondences, important work on Heegner points and the Birch-Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture became the proof of the non-existence of rational points on twisted Fermat curves and in particular Advances in the problem of congruent numbers (existence of an infinite number of congruent numbers with any number of prime factors) highlighted.
