Introduction of Yang Zhenning
Yang Zhenning (1922-), a professor at the Institute of Advanced Studies of Tsinghua University, a master of physics in the 20th century, and a winner of the 1957 Nobel Prize in physics, holds an old China (Republic of China) passport and is of China nationality. Originally from Fengyang, Anhui Province, 1942 graduated from the Physics Department of The National SouthWest Associated University, 1944 graduated from The National SouthWest Associated University (Institute of Physics, Tsinghua University Research Institute), 1945 was admitted to boxer indemnity, Tsinghua University, and went to study in the United States to obtain a doctorate. He was a lecturer at the University of Chicago, a researcher at the Princeton Institute for Advanced Studies, a professor at the State University of New York at Stony Brook and the director of the Institute of Physics. Fellow of China Academy of Sciences, American Academy of Sciences, Academia Sinica, Russian Academy of Sciences, Catholic Academy of Sciences, Brazilian Academy of Sciences, Venezuelan Academy of Sciences, Spanish Academy of Sciences, and British Royal Society. In cooperation with Li Zhengdao, he put forward the theory of parity non-conservation of weak interaction and won the 1957 Nobel Prize in physics. In particle physics, his most outstanding contribution was 1954' s "Young-Mills Field Theory", which opened up a new research field of non-Abelian gauge fields and laid a solid foundation for modern gauge field theories, including weak current unified theory, quantum chromodynamics theory, grand unified theory and gravitational field gauge theory. [1] puts forward the theory of non-Abelian gauge field, which greatly promotes the study of four basic interactions. A lot of pioneering work has been done in particle physics. 1967 proposed an equation, and later Baxter also discussed the other meaning of this equation, which was called "Yang-Baxter equation".
