About
Shou-Wu Zhang is a leading figure in number theory and arithmetic geometry, best known for his groundbreaking contributions to the Gross-Zagier formula and the theory of Heegner points. His work has profoundly advanced the understanding of the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture, one of the most celebrated problems in mathematics. Zhang's research spans the arithmetic of elliptic curves, modular forms, and L-functions, where he has developed powerful tools such as the Zhang–Gross–Zagier formula and the theory of arithmetic intersection numbers. His 2001 paper on the Gross–Zagier formula for higher weights remains a cornerstone of the field, earning over 200 citations. Zhang has received numerous honors, including the Guggenheim Fellowship and the Chern Prize, and his work continues to inspire a generation of number theorists. His ability to bridge deep theoretical insights with computational applications has made him a pivotal figure in modern arithmetic geometry.
