About
Jiuya Wang is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Georgia. His research lies at the intersection of algebraic and analytic number theory, focusing on problems related to Malle's conjecture, class group statistics, and Galois theory. Previously, he was a Phillip Griffiths Research Assistant Professor at Duke University and completed his PhD at the University of Wisconsin-Madison under the supervision of Melanie Matchett Wood.
Education:
- PhD in Mathematics, University of Wisconsin-Madison (2018)
Research Interests:
Wang's work spans algebraic number theory and arithmetic geometry, with a particular emphasis on:
- Counting number fields and their asymptotic distributions
- Class group torsion and Cohen-Lenstra-Martinet heuristics
- Galois representations and their applications to conjectures like Brumer-Stark
- Energy minimization and potential theory in analysis
Publications Overview:
His recent publications (2020-2023) cover a broad spectrum including counterexamples to conjectures, improved bounds for field counts, sharp inequalities in analysis, and advanced algebraic structures. Notable works include proving cases of Malle's conjecture, establishing pointwise bounds for ℓ-torsion, and resolving the sharp Erdős-Turán inequality.
