Introduction

Calabi Lecture is a distinguished lecture series, intended as a forum to feature acclaimed mathematicians, the current state of mathematics, exemplary research and creative work.

The distinguished lecture is named Calabi, because Gene Calabi embodies what the institute aspires to be known for: original thinkers and erudite educators.

Calabi has made a number of contributions to mathematics. He is perhaps best known for his pioneering work in Kaehler Geometry; his Laplacian comparison theorem and maximum principle for continuous functions have become an indispensable tool in geometric analysis;  his work on minimal and maximal surfaces, on harmonic isometric embeddings, on affine geometry have all been highly influential. He has published less than 50 research papers, but large proportion of them have been a major part of research literature in the last 70 years.

Gene Calabi is the former Ph.D advisor of the institutes founding director Xiuxong Chen and has greatly influenced the latter as a mathematician and as a person. 

The inaugural Calabi Lecture was given on 27 July 2022 by Professor Nanhua Xi, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Science.
