Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Mathematical analysis
  • Pure mathematics
  • Geometry

His primary scientific interests are in Pure mathematics, Moduli space, Higgs bundle, Fano plane and Einstein. His study looks at the intersection of Moduli space and topics like Topology with Intersection form. His Higgs bundle study contributes to a more complete understanding of Geometry.

Simon Donaldson combines subjects such as Algebraic surface, Holomorphic function and Yang–Mills existence and mass gap with his study of Geometry. He has included themes like Donaldson theory, Vector bundle, Fourier transform and ADHM construction in his Algebraic surface study. His study on Fano plane also encompasses disciplines like

  • Theoretical physics which intersects with area such as Mathematical analysis,
  • Cone and related Mathematical physics.

His most cited work include:

  • The Geometry of Four-Manifolds (1312 citations)
  • Anti Self‐Dual Yang‐Mills Connections Over Complex Algebraic Surfaces and Stable Vector Bundles (1049 citations)
  • Scalar Curvature and Stability of Toric Varieties (738 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Simon Donaldson mainly focuses on Pure mathematics, Mathematical analysis, Scalar curvature, Einstein and Differential geometry. Simon Donaldson combines Pure mathematics and Stability in his studies. His work on Holonomy and Manifold is typically connected to Separable partial differential equation and Geometric invariant theory as part of general Mathematical analysis study, connecting several disciplines of science.

Simon Donaldson has researched Scalar curvature in several fields, including Kähler manifold, Toric variety and Constant. In Holomorphic function, Simon Donaldson works on issues like Moduli space, which are connected to Gauge theory, Differential topology and Topology. His research in Algebraic variety intersects with topics in Geometry and Invariant.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Pure mathematics (51.59%)
  • Mathematical analysis (28.57%)
  • Scalar curvature (12.70%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Pure mathematics (51.59%)
  • Holonomy (8.73%)
  • Boundary (3.97%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His main research concerns Pure mathematics, Holonomy, Boundary, Algebraic geometry and Submanifold. His studies link Associative property with Pure mathematics. Holonomy is the subject of his research, which falls under Mathematical analysis.

His Mathematical analysis research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Point and Deformation theory. His study looks at the relationship between Algebraic geometry and topics such as Algebraic variety, which overlap with Geometry. His study explores the link between Submanifold and topics such as Signature that cross with problems in Differential geometry, Riemannian geometry, Regular polygon and Connection.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Gromov–Hausdorff limits of Kähler manifolds and algebraic geometry, II (44 citations)
  • Adiabatic Limits of Co-associative Kovalev–Lefschetz Fibrations (21 citations)
  • The Ding Functional, Berndtsson Convexity and Moment Maps (15 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Mathematical analysis
  • Topology
  • Geometry

Simon Donaldson mainly investigates Pure mathematics, Holonomy, Theoretical physics, Ricci flow and Interpretation. His Pure mathematics research incorporates themes from Space and Signature. The study incorporates disciplines such as Moment map, Fano plane and Metric in addition to Ricci flow.

His Flow research extends to Interpretation, which is thematically connected.
