    Chinese Annals of History of Science and Technology 3 (2), 118–165 (2019) doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1461.2019.02118 Transnational Mathematics and Movements: Shiing- shen Chern, Hua Luogeng, and the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study from World War II to the Cold War1 Zuoyue Wang 王作跃,2 Guo Jinhai 郭金海3 (California State Polytechnic University, Pomona 91768, US; Institute for the History of Natural Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China) Abstract: This paper reconstructs, based on American and Chinese primary sources, the visits of Chinese mathematicians Shiing-shen Chern 陈省身 (Chen Xingshen) and Hua Luogeng 华罗庚 (Loo-Keng Hua)4 to the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton in the United States in the 1940s, especially their interactions with Oswald Veblen and Hermann Weyl, two leading mathematicians at the IAS. It argues that Chern’s and Hua’s motivations and choices in regard to their transnational movements between China and the US were more nuanced and multifaceted than what is presented in existing accounts, and that socio-political factors combined with professional-personal ones to shape their decisions. The paper further uses their experiences to demonstrate the importance of transnational scientific interactions for the development of science in China, the US, and elsewhere in the twentieth century. Keywords: Shiing-shen Chern, Chen Xingshen, Hua Luogeng, Loo-Keng Hua, Institute for 1 This article was copy-edited by Charlie Zaharoff. 2 Research interests: History of science and technology in the United States, China, and transnational contexts in the twentieth century. He is currently writing a book on the history of American-educated Chinese scientists and China-US scientific relations.

    On the Characterization of Rational Homotopy Types and Chern Classes of Closed Almost Complex Manifolds

    On the characterization of rational homotopy types and Chern classes of closed almost complex manifolds A Dissertation Presented by Aleksandar Milivojevic to The Graduate School In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Mathematics Stony Brook University May 2021 Stony Brook University The Graduate School Aleksandar Milivojevic We, the dissertation committee for the above candidate for the Doctor of Philosophy degree, hereby recommend acceptance of this dissertation. Dennis Sullivan - Dissertation Advisor Distinguished Professor, Department of Mathematics H. Blaine Lawson - Chairperson of Defense Distinguished Professor, Department of Mathematics Kenji Fukaya - Member Professor, Department of Mathematics Martin Rocek - Outside Member Professor, Yang Institute for Theoretical Physics This dissertation is accepted by the Graduate School. Eric Wertheimer Dean of the Graduate School ii Abstract of the Dissertation On the characterization of rational homotopy types and Chern classes of closed almost complex manifolds by Aleksandar Milivojevic Doctor of Philosophy in Mathematics Stony Brook University 2021 The homotopy theory of rationalized simply connected spaces was shown by Quillen to be encoded algebraically in differential graded Lie algebras in his seminal work on ra- tional homotopy theory. Motivated by this theory and Whitney’s treatment of differential forms on arbitrary complexes, Sullivan described a theory of computable algebraic models for rational homotopy types in terms of differential graded algebras of differential forms in his "Infinitesimal Computations in Topology". Following a challenge posed therein, we give a characterization of the possible simply connected rational homotopy types, along with a choice of rational Chern classes and fundamental class, realized by closed almost complex manifolds in complex dimensions three and greater, with a caveat in complex dimensions congruent to 2 mod 4 depending on the first Chern class.
