Antoine Y. Song (born 18 July 1992 in Paris) is a French[1] mathematician whose research concerns differential geometry and geometric analysis. He is a professor at Caltech.[2] In 2018, he proved Yau's conjecture.
Education
[edit]Antoine Song was a student at the École Normale Supérieure de Paris from 2012 to 2015. He obtained a bachelor's and a master's degree in mathematics from the Université Pierre et Marie Curie (Paris 6).[1] He obtained his Ph.D. from Princeton University in 2019 under the supervision of Fernando Codá Marques.[3]
Mathematical work
[edit]It is known that any closed surface possesses infinitely many closed geodesics. The first problem in the minimal submanifolds section of Yau's list (Yau's conjecture) asks whether any closed three-manifold has infinitely many closed smooth immersed minimal surfaces. At the time it was known from Almgren–Pitts min-max theory the existence of at least one minimal surface. Kei Irie, Fernando Codá Marques, and André Neves solved this problem in the generic case [4] and later Song proved it in full generality.[5]
Together with Conghan Dong,[6] he proved a conjecture from 2001 by G. Huisken and T. Ilmanen on the mathematics of general relativity, about the curvature in spaces with very little mass.[7]
Honours and awards
[edit]He was a Clay Research Fellow (2019–2024).[8]
He is a Sloan Fellow.[9][10]
He delivered the 2021–2022 Peccot Lectures (in 2022, due to the coronavirus pandemic).[11]
In 2024, he received the Frontiers of Science Award.[12]
