Preface by the Editors
One of the greatest mathematicians in the world, Shing-Tung Yau has earned
numerous honors, including the Fields Medal, the mathematical equivalent of
the Nobel Prize. The focus of much of his work has been in the areas of differential
geometry, algebraic and K.hler geometry, general relativity, and string theory.
Yau has also been an advisor and mentor to a vast number of mathematicians
including the editors of this volume. His influence in the development and establishment
of these research areas cannot be overstated.
These five volumes constitute the first part of the Selected Works of Shing-
Tung Yau, which reproduce part of his published mathematical work from 1971
to 1991. It is the period where numerous groundbreaking works of Yau were
produced, in geometric analysis, in K.hler geometry and in general relativity.
These volumes reflect his achievements in this period. We divide the volumes
into subjects on metric geometry, minimal submanifolds, harmonic functions, eigenvalues,
general relativity, and K.hler geometry. We include commentaries by
experts on the mathematical content in each volume, and personal comments on
some of the development of the ideas for these papers. The order of the appearance
of each paper in the volumes is that best reflecting the development of the
subjects. We thank Pengfei Guan, Bong Lian, Kefeng Liu, Leon Simon, Valentino
Tosatti, Jiaping Wang, Xu-Jia Wang, and Mu-Tao Wang for their help in suggesting
the papers to be included in these volumes. We thank Shing-Tung Yau for his
help in the final selection of the papers, and in the ordering of the appearance of
the papers. We hope that the works and the commentaries in these volumes will
bring to readers anew his insight, and his perspective on the subject over time,
as it certainly did to us, the editors of the volumes. The volumes will be of great
interest to research mathematicians, theoretical physicists, and graduate students
in these areas.
We thank International Press and the generosity of the journal publishers of
the papers, without which these volumes would not have been possible. Finally,
we take this opportunity to express our deepest gratitude to Shing-Tung Yau for
his inspiration and generosity which continues to be a driving force behind our
mathematical work.
