Horng-Tzer Yau (Harvard University)

Aim & Scope

姚鴻澤教授1981年畢業於臺灣大學數學系,2014年獲選為臺大傑出校友,目前也是NCTS Distinguished Scholar 。

他是數學物理、分析與機率論領域的領導者,研究成果影響了機率論、隨機過程、隨機矩陣、非平衡態統計物理和量子力學等,為當今世上影響層面最深最廣的數學家之一。

姚鴻澤教授曾獲龐加萊獎與參克阿瑟獎,也是美國國家科學院、美國藝術及科學院與中研院之院士。

國家理論科學研究中心有幸邀请姚院士於2026年1月5日舉辦一場非常有意義的NCTS Distinguished Lecture,希望有興趣的青年學子以及數學界同仁共同參與,故於lecture.結束設有一小時的交流活動,期望藉由Q&A、學術交流讓台灣數學界激盪出不同的火花。

Title:  An introduction to random matrices and its application

Abstract:

We review the development of random matrix theory beginning with Eugene Wigner’s pioneering work in the 1960s. Wigner’s profound insight into the universality of eigenvalue distributions has had a lasting influence on the field. We also discuss Dyson’s Brownian motion, which has emerged as a powerful tool for establishing and understanding Wigner’s universality conjecture. Finally, we highlight applications of these ideas to contemporary research problems in graph theory and related areas.
