Teaching

GSI for Math 53, multivariable calculus, Professor Lawrence Craig Evans, Fall 2010
Sections 202, 204.
Office Hours: 10-12pm, Wednesday, 1061 Evans
This is a note on Stokes' theorem written by David Spivak, which may be helpful for math 53 students.
This is a note on holomorphic ODE for fun, hopefully it will be interesting to read for people who are beginning to study elementary algebraic geometry. I think almost for sure that the results are already known very long time ago, however I still can't find direct reference for it.

Research

My research advisor is Richard Borcherds. I'm mostly interested in exploring interactions between high energy physics and mathematics. Recently I'm working on Nahm's conjecture, Capelli identity, and mirror symmetry. Here is a list of my research papers:

On twisted Virasoro operators and number theory.
A note on Nahm's conjecture in rank 2 case.
Noncommutative multiplicative norm identities for the quaternions and the octonions. (This is a first paper reporting some initial results. Development is underway.)
On S-duality and Gauss reciprocity law.
Simplifying local BRST cohomology calculation via spectral sequence.

Personal Interests

Physical cosmology, the game of Go, geology, earth climate, ocean science, swimming, hiking, and I'm a fans of the brazilian style football, whatever it is.

Some of my serious daydreams

Some day we can understand what the question of the so-called big bang is really asking about.
Some day we can develop a mathematical theory of the game of go that can really help us understand this game from a deeper level. This is a link on this topic from professor Berlekamp. Professional go players may really be benefited from studying chapter 2 of this book.
Some day we can really understand the mathematics behind the standard model of particle physics (including low energy QCD), to say the least from a practical point of view. A recent paper in this direction can be found here .
