Template:ChineseText Gang Tian (Chinese: 田刚; pinyin: Tián Gāng; 1958 -) is a Chinese mathematician and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He was born in Nanjing, China, but now divides his time between MIT and Peking University. In 2006, he, together with John Morgan of Columbia University, posted a paper on the arXiv, in which they claimed to provide a "detailed proof of the Poincaré Conjecture", and thus contribute to the verification of the proof by Grigori Perelman.
Biography
Tian graduated from Nanjing University in 1982, and received a master's degree from Peking University in 1984. In 1988, he received a PhD in mathematics from Harvard University, after having studied under Shing-Tung Yau. In 1998, he was appointed as a Cheung Kong Scholar professor at the School of Mathematical Sciences at Peking University, under the "Cheung Kong Scholars Programme" (长江计划) of the Ministry of Education. The Ministry of Education allowed him to work for four months each year. Tian did work for at least four months each year at Peking University from 1999 to 2003. Later his appointment was changed to Cheung Kong Scholar chair professorship. The chair professorship requires him to work for three month each year at Peking University. Some people pointed out that the professorship was in conflict with the rules for full-time professor in Princeton University as in this link . But note that these rules apply only to a teaching assignment which Tian's professorship is not. He is a full time professor at the mathematics department of Princeton University. He was awarded the Waterman Prize in 1994, and the Veblen Prize in 1996.
Controversy
In 2005, the so-called "Yau-Tian affair" broke out when Yau in criticizing Peking University on wasting the money from taxpayer to recruit oversea researchers who still have full-positions in other countries, lashed out at Tian, labelling him a "fake academician", and accused Tian of holding two full positions at the same time and some other academic problems, such as stealing the results of other researchers. The fact is his position at Peking University required him to work at least four months from 1999 to 2003 and at least three month after 2003. About stealing the results, it is still controversial among the related researchers. These controversies were also mentioned in a New Yorker article by Sylvia Nasar and David Gruber, who also reported on their interview with Perelman. " But Perelman has not proved that Dr. Tian is clean in these controverises. Also it is a report with bias opinion where only one side of the affair has been interviewed. That is, the reporters even have not interviewed the most important person in this affair, Dr. Yau. On the other hand, the Science Magazine, which has worldwide reputation, has provided the more accurate report on this affair.
