Shi Yuguang

Shi Yuguang is a Chinese mathematician who studies Riemannian geometry . He is a professor at Peking University .

Quoted as Yuguang Shi in Western literature.

Life

Shi received her PhD from the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1996 with Weiyue Ding ( Regularity and Existence Theory for Harmonic Maps from Manifolds with Bounded Measurable Riemannian Metrics ).

In 2010 he received the ICTP Ramanujan Prize for contributions to the theory of non-compact complete Riemann manifolds, specifically for his proof of the positivity of quasi-local mass and the rigidity of asymptotic hyperbolic manifolds. The investigations play a role for the difficult questions of the strictly mathematical definition of mass and energy in general relativity (which also includes the proof of their respective positivity).
