This emphasizes the Dialogue Between Physics and Mathematics that has been a central theme of Professor Yang’s contributions to contemporary science.Fittingly, the contributions to this volume range from experimental physics to pure mathematics, via mathematical physics.
Mo-Lin Ge is Professor at the Chern Institute of Mathematics at Nankai University, China, and academician at the Academy of Science of China. His main research topics are at the interface between theoretical physics and related mathematics, such as Yang–Mills theory and Yang–Baxter systems, especially their applications in physics. He established the Theoretical Physics Section at the Chern Institute, supervised by Prof. C. N. Yang, which has since become one of the global communication centres for mathematical physics. Yang-Hui He is a Fellow of the London Institute, Professor of Mathematics at City, University of London, Tutor in Mathematics at Merton College, Oxford, and Chang-Jiang Chair of Physics at Nankai University in China. He obtained his BA at Princeton (summa cum laude, Shenstone Prize and Kusaka Prize), MA at Cambridge (Distinction, Tripos), and PhD at MIT. After a postdoc at the University of Pennsylvania, he joined Oxford as the FitzJames Fellow and an STFC Advanced Fellow. He works at the interface of string theory, algebraic and combinatorial geometry, and machine learning; he is also a keen public communicator of mathematics and physics.
