Scholar-generated biography
Shou-Wu Zhang is a Professor of Mathematics at Princeton University, specializing in Number Theory and Algebraic Geometry. His research focuses on arithmetic geometry, with an emphasis on the interplay between algebraic cycles, heights, and equidistribution of points on algebraic varieties. Zhang's work includes the study of adelic metrics, small points, and the Gross-Zagier formula on Shimura curves. His contributions have significantly advanced the understanding of heights of Heegner points, admissible pairings, and the arithmetic Hodge index theorem. Zhang's research has also explored the arithmetic properties of Shimura varieties and the distribution of CM-points.
