Conjecture on Fano manifolds and Veblen Prize


In 2019, Sun was awarded the Oswald Veblen Prize in Geometry, together with his former advisor
Xiuxiong Chen and English mathematician Simon Donaldson, for proving a long-standing conjecture on
Fano manifolds, which states that "a Fano manifold admits a Kähler–Einstein metric if and only if it is K-
stable". It had been one of the most actively investigated topics in geometry since a rough version of it
was conjectured in the 1980s by Fields Medalist Shing-Tung Yau, who had previously proved the Calabi
conjecture.[9] The conjecture was later given a precise formulation by Donaldson, based in part on earlier
work by Gang Tian. The solution found by Chen, Donaldson and Sun was published in the Journal of the
American Mathematical Society in 2015 as a holistic three-article series, "Kähler–Einstein metrics on
Fano manifolds, I, II and III".[9][10]
