Fudan University released an obituary

According to the official website of Fudan University, Mr. Hu Hesheng, a famous mathematician, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, academician of the Academy of Sciences for Developing Countries, outstanding member of the China Democratic League, member of the 7th, 8th and 9th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, vice chairman of the 6th Chinese Mathematical Society, chairman of the 7th Shanghai Mathematical Society, professor and doctoral supervisor of Fudan University, passed away in Shanghai at 12:16 on February 2, 2024 at the age of 96.

Hu Hesheng was born in Shanghai in June 1928. He graduated from the Department of Mathematics and Physics of Daxia University in 1950 and received a master's degree from the Department of Mathematics of Zhejiang University in 1952. In 1991, he was elected as a member (academician) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

According to Zhejiang Online, Hu Hesheng was born in 1928 into an artistic family and was originally from Nanjing, Jiangsu Province. His grandfather, Hu Yanqing, was a Chinese painter, and his father, Hu Boxiang, was a painter, photographer and industrialist, and served as the chairman of the Shanghai Cosmetics Industry Association.

When Hu Hesheng was in the fifth grade of primary school, the Japanese army occupied Nanjing, and his grandfather's collection of paintings, calligraphy, and antiques was looted. Hu Hesheng moved to Shanghai with his father's family. When she graduated from university, she gave up the opportunity to work as a teaching assistant at Tongji University in the hope of continuing her studies. This year, she received admission notices from Peking University and Zhejiang University at the same time. At that time, Professor Su Buqing, the founder of Chinese differential geometry, was teaching at Zhejiang University, so she chose Zhejiang University.

Hu Hesheng's husband is Gu Chaohao (who died in 2012), a famous mathematician in mainland China and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the two met at Zhejiang University. Gu Chaohao was admitted to the Department of Mathematics of Zhejiang University in 1943. In 1948, Professor Su Buqing left Gu Chaohao as a teaching assistant, and two years later, Hu Hesheng, who also loved mathematics, became Su Buqing's graduate student. Hu Hesheng also stayed in school to work after graduating from graduate school, and in 1952, when the college departments were adjusted, she and Gu Chaohao both followed Su Buqing to Fudan University.

In November 1996, Gu Chaohao celebrated his 70th birthday, 94-year-old Su Buqing held Gu Chaohao in one hand and Hu Hesheng in the other and said: "Today I want to bless the two of you!

Hu Hesheng has been engaged in the study of differential geometry for a long time. A general method for determining the void properties of the motion group in Riemann space is given, which solves an important problem that lasts for more than 60 years. The problems of the existence of the mass gauge field, the clumping phenomenon and the determination of the spherical symmetry gauge potential have all achieved important results with great difficulty and high level. In the study of harmonic reflection, the geometric theory of soliton was developed.

In 1991, Hu Hesheng was elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, becoming the first female academician in the field of mathematics in China. Su Buqing spoke highly of it in his recommendation speech: "The differential geometry direction of my complete force has long relied on her to preside over it...... She is my successor. ”

When Hu Hesheng was elected as an academician, Gu Chaohao wrote a poem to congratulate: "Study hard at night in the cold window, before dawn." Geometry is true, and physics is a new chapter. The red makeup does not need to be ignored, and the color is naturally researched. The academy has a name, and you can taste the sunny day together. ”

According to the Zhejiang University Daily, at the 2002 International Congress of Mathematicians, Hu Hesheng was invited to give a one-hour Noether lecture at the conference, which was established in 1994, and only every four years invited a world-renowned female mathematician to give an hour-long report at the International Congress of Mathematicians, and only female mathematicians who have made significant creative achievements in mathematics can receive this honor.

Looking back on his own history of mathematics work, Hu Hesheng deeply felt that in order to achieve achievements, we must have the determination to struggle for a long time, and we must continue to study, think deeply, study hard, and persevere.
