- W2331199732 abstract "It is a great honor for me to give this talk in honor of my mentor and my old friend Is Singer. We have known each other since 1973. He had a deep influence in my mathematical thinking and my career. When I first met him at a big conference in geometry in Stanford, my advisor Chern told me that Is wanted to see me. I was somewhat nervous as Is is a big name in geometry. To my surprise, Is just smiled and said that he just wanted to get to know me. But he did something for me then that neither of us realized at the time. It was his proposal to invite Robert Geroch to explain the mathematics of general relativity to geometers during that conference. Geroch explained the positive mass conjecture for a special case in very simple terms. It was fascinating as nobody knew how to approach this problem, despite its elegance. I kept this problem in mind until 1978, when I visited Berkeley for one year, again at the invitation of Chern and of Is. In that year, I solved the first major part of the positive conjecture with Richard Schoen. Before this visit, Is invited me to visit MIT for a month during 1976, after I solved the Calabi conjecture. During that period, Is was very busy with a family issue. Nonetheless, we had dinner and he described to me what he heard in Stony Brook when he visited the physicists there. The main question was concerning self-dual instantons. Although I did not work on it immediately, it is such an interesting subject, that I finally worked on the higher dimensional generalization of it known today as the Hermitian Yang-Mills connections. In 1987, Is thought that it was important for mathematicians working on physics related issues to have the ability to obtain funding to hire postdoctoral fellows. He was able to work this out with the Department of Energy. And I have benefitted much by his efforts on this. I was able to hire postdoctoral fellows who earned physics degrees. Having them around have been really useful for my career." @default.
