《中国日报》头版:温州,数学家之乡!
8月20日,《中国日报》头版以《Wenzhou bolsters standing as 'hometown of mathematicians'》为题聚焦温州,关注温州筹备“数学家之乡”培养计划,一起来看详细报道。
近日,温籍数学家、中国科学技术大学几何与物理中心特任教授陈杲摘得ICCM数学银奖。
ICCM数学奖于1998年首次颁发,用以表彰45岁以下在基础数学、应用数学方面有杰出成就及在促进数学事业发展方面有卓越贡献的华人数学家,是世界华人数学界的最高奖项。

陈杲专注于复微分几何研究,2015年,他和中国科学技术大学陈秀雄教授证明了引力瞬子只有4种。
那一年陈杲21岁,正是阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦(Albert Einstein)获得物理教学文凭的年龄。
这是微分几何领域的一项重要进展,经过漫长的审稿,2021年底,论文在世界四大数学期刊之一的《数学学报》(Acta Mathematica)等杂志上发表。
瞬子来自于运动方程式的经典解,它是欧氏空间中经典场论运动方程式的解,在量子场论中扮演着重要角色。
在颁奖典礼上,陈杲发表获奖感言:“能获得世界华人数学家大会的奖项,我深感荣幸!我们做基础数学研究的,往往都是前人没有研究过的,要做些新的尝试。有些大的课题,需要几代人的努力,这个过程就像一场漫长的长跑,如果有人在路边鼓掌,对我们是很大的激励。”
近百年来,温州先后走出了200多位数学家。2003年,国际最高数学成就——沃尔夫奖得主陈省身在温州访问时,欣然题写“数学家之乡”,以褒扬这支我国乃至国际数学界的重要力量。
早在2002年,温州市政府启动了“数学家摇篮工程”,以培养青年数学人才。今年7月,温籍数学家研究中心在温州理工学院成立。该研究中心是一个集情感纽带、精神家园、服务高地、招才引智等功能于一体的世界温籍数学家交流服务平台。
“下一步,温籍数学家研究中心将整合各方资源,联络和走访国内重点知名高校及机构,详细绘制全球温籍数学家图谱,建立数据库,做好与温籍数学家及其团队的紧密对接,加强与浙江大学、复旦大学等国内高校数学学院及研究机构的交流与合作,开展招才引智工作。”温州理工学院党委副书记吕朝晖介绍。
日前,温州市教育局已在筹备《温州市“数学家之乡”人才培养计划》,拟大力引进数学学科竞赛教练和国内外知名高校数学专业毕业生,擦亮温州“数学家之乡”的城市金名片。
其中包括强化与北京大学、复旦大学、浙江大学、中国科学院大学等国内知名高校数学科学学院(系)的数学人才培养合作。
根据计划,还将成立温州市中小学数学教学研究中心。
此外,温州市教育局还将加强与温州大学、温州市科协等单位合作,共同建设“温州数学家家园”。

Wenzhou bolsters standing as 'hometown of mathematicians'
Chen Gao's number came up on July 31-mathematically speaking. The 28-year-old from Rui'an in Wenzhou, Zhejiang province, won silver prize at the ninth International Congress of Chinese Mathematicians.
The ICCM Mathematics Prize, the highest award in the field in China, was first given in 1998 to recognize mathematicians under the age of 45 who have made outstanding achievements in basic and applied math, and significant contributions to its advancement.
Chen, a professor at the Institute of Geometry and Physics of the University of Science and Technology of China, has devoted himself to the study of complex geometry.
In 2015, with his tutor Chen Xiuxiong, who is also from the university, he managed to prove that there are only four kinds of gravitational instantons.
Chen Gao was 21 at the time, the age at which Albert Einstein, then an unemployed university graduate, earned his physics teaching diploma.
His proof was an important advancement in the field of differential geometry. After a lengthy review, the paper-entitled "Gravitational instantons with faster than quadratic curvature decay"-was published at the end of last year in journals such as Acta Mathematica, one of the world's four largest mathematical journals.
The concept of an instanton (also known as a pseudoparticle) provides a classic solution for certain equations involving motion in quantum mechanics or quantum field theory.
"I'm deeply honored to receive this ICCM award," Chen Gao said at the awards ceremony. "Researchers of basic mathematics like me must often work on topics not studied by our predecessors. The process of solving these mathematical problems is like a long run that sometimes goes on for several generations. I can use all the help and support I can get."
In the past 100 years, Wenzhou has produced more than 200 top mathematicians. In 2003, it was dubbed the "hometown of mathematicians" by mathematician Chen Xingshen, who once received the Wolf Prize in mathematics, when visiting Wenzhou to stress the city's contributions to the field.
Around 2002, the Wenzhou government launched its Mathematics Cradle Project to cultivate young math talent. In July, the Wenzhou Mathematician Research Center was established at Wenzhou University of Technology, providing an exchange and cooperation platform for local and international mathematicians.
"The center plans to integrate resources, tour domestic universities and institutions, establish a database of Wenzhou mathematicians around the world, develop close contacts and strengthen exchanges, cooperation, and recruitment domestically at institutions such as Zhejiang University and Fudan University," said Lyu Zhaohui, deputy secretary of the Party committee of Wenzhou University of Technology.
Recently, the Wenzhou education bureau has been preparing a plan to strengthen the city's reputation as the "hometown of mathematicians" by introducing math competition coaches and graduates from wellknown universities at home and abroad.
Cooperation in the cultivation of math talent will be strengthened with well-known institutions such as Peking University, Fudan University, Zhejiang University and the University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Moreover, a Wenzhou teaching research center for primary and secondary school mathematics will be established under the plan.
The Wenzhou education bureau will also strengthen its cooperation with Wenzhou University and the Wenzhou Science and Technology Association to jointly commit to the math hometown brand.
