14 In 1977, S. T. Yau was able to solve the following PDE g 1, u z 1 z 1 g 1, u z 1 z 2 g 1, u det g 2, u z 2 z 1 g 2, u z 2 z 2 g 2, u g 3, u z 3 z 1 g 3, u z 3 z 2 g 3, u g 1, 1 g 1, 2 g 1, 3 = e F det g 2, 1 g 2, 2 g 2, 3, g 3, 1 g 3, 2 g 3, 3 z 1 z 3 z 2 z 3 z 3 z 3 where g i j and F are given functions. After that, we are able to tell the topological properties of the manifold. Zhiqin Lu, UC. Irvine What is Geometry 9/14

27 zlu/geom-topo-group/index.php Members of the Geometry & Topology Group at UCI work in many different fields and have expertise in a diverse set of techniques. We have lively and well-attended seminars, and one of our key goals is the cross-pollination of ideas between geometry and topology. Our faculty consists of active researchers in many areas of geometry and low-dimensional topology including geometric PDE, differential geometry, integrable systems, mirror symmetry, smooth 4-manifolds, symplectic and contact topology and geometry, and knot theory and its invariants. Our faculty is highly-regarded. All have NSF Grants and one of its members, Peter Li, was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. The Geometry/Topology Group at UCI has a long-standing commitment to excellence in graduate and postdoctoral training: we have produced some outstanding graduate students, and we have been fortunate to have recruited and mentored exceptional postdoctoral fellows.
