Shen Weixiao

Shen Weixiao (Chinese: 沈维孝; pinyin: Shěn Wéixiào; born May 1975 in Guichi, Anhui, China) is a Chinese mathematician known for his work in dynamical systems (in particular, real and complex one-dimensional dynamics). He graduated from the University of Science and Technology of China in 1995 and earned his Ph.D. from the University of Tokyo in 2001.

Shen has worked as a professor at the National University of Singapore and is currently a professor at Fudan University. He has made important contributions to mathematics, including solving the second part of the 11th problem on Smale's problems, working with Oleg Kozlovski and Sebastian van Strien.

Shen received the Chern Award from the Chinese Mathematical Society in 2009, and in 2014, he was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Seoul, sharing the stage with Sebastian van Strien. His work continues to influence the field of mathematics.

Selected publications

Shen Weixiao has written many important papers about mathematical dynamics. Some of his notable works include research on the behavior of real polynomials, measurable dynamics of real rational functions, and the existence of invariant measures without growth conditions.

His publications also cover topics such as metric properties of interval maps, decay of geometry for unimodal maps, and rigidity for real polynomials. These works have been published in respected mathematics journals and have contributed significantly to the field of dynamical systems.
