This volume represents selected proceedings of the Fourth International Congress of Chinese Mathematicians, held in Hangzhou. China. The Congress brought together eminent Chinese and overseas mathematicians to discuss the latest developments in pure and applied mathematics. Approximately fifteen hundred mathematicians participated in the Congress.
Included in this volume are the complete Morningside Lectures, the complete plenary lectures, and selected invited lectures.
Three morningside lectures are followed by 13 plenary lectures, and three lectures by Chinese women mathematicians close the proceedings. Among the topics are partition functions and box-spline, the calculus of operator functions, toric Sasaki-Einstein geometry, automorphic representations, rigidity of polyhedral surfaces, number theory techniques in the theory of Lie groups and differential geometry, the flabby glass group of a finite cyclic group, Green's formula in Hall algebras and cluster algebras, zeta functions in combinatorics and number theory, and soliton hierarchies constructed from involutions.
