Sino-French Conference on Algebraic Geometry
(in Memory of Prof. Gang Xiao)

2024-10-21

Introduction:

This conference is dedicated to commemorating the 10th anniversary of the pass away in 2014 of Professor Gang Xiao. Professor Gang Xiao was a pioneer in algebraic geometry during the last two decades of 20th century, with outstanding research results on fibrations of algebraic surfaces, high-order canonical divisors, and surface automorphism groups. He has also made pioneering contributions to the development of algebraic geometry in China. In fact, Professor Gang Xiao trained the first generation of algebraic geometers in Mainland China after the Culture Revolution.

Professor Xiao was a legend in China. He was born in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province in 1951. Due to the Culture Revolution, his middle school education was interrupted. Then he learned by himself and got a chance to enter Jiangsu Normal College (now Suzhou University) as a student majored in English in 1976. In 1977 he was admitted to University of Science and Technology of China as a graduate student in Mathematics. In 1980 he was sent to Universite Paris XI, Orasy, France to pursue a PhD program in Mathematics, under the supervision of Professor Michel Raynaud and informally Professor Arnaud Beauville. In 1984 he got his French National PhD. Then he returned to China and became a professor at the East China Normal University. In 1992 he moved to the University of Nice Sophia-Antipolis. Professor Xiao had broad interests and was very kind. His death in 2014 shocked his friends and colleagues.
