Antoine Song
Antoine Song (born 18 July 1992 in Paris) is a French[1] mathematician whose research concerns differential geometry. In 2018, he proved Yau's conjecture. He is a Clay Research Fellow (2019–2024).[2] He obtained his Ph.D. from Princeton University in 2019 under the supervision of Fernando Codá Marques.[3]
Existence of minimal surfaces[]
It is known that any closed surface possesses infinitely many closed geodesics. The first problem in the minimal submanifolds section of Yau's list asks whether any closed three-manifold has infinitely many closed smooth immersed minimal surfaces. At the time it was known from Almgren–Pitts min-max theory the existence of at least one minimal surface. Kei Irie, Fernando Codá Marques, and André Neves solved this problem in the generic case [4] and later Antoine Song claimed it in full generality.[5]
