- ... that Xiuxiong Chen, his former student Song Sun, and Simon Donaldson were awarded the 2019 Veblen Prize for proving Yau's conjecture for Fano manifolds? Source: AMS announcement
- Reviewed: Mikhail Zakharov (first two of three QPQs)
Created by Zanhe (talk) and Dennui (talk). Nominated by Zanhe (talk) at 03:53, 10 April 2019 (UTC).
- A preliminary scan of the articles looks OK, and the hook is good. Will do a full review when a second QPQ is completed. Ashorocetus (talk | contribs) 22:10, 24 May 2019 (UTC)
- @Ashorocetus: The QPQ I provided consists of three articles, and I'm using two for this two-article nomination. Thanks, -Zanhe (talk) 01:11, 25 May 2019 (UTC)
- Ah yes, I misread your note. Sorry for the confusion. I'll get a proper review done ASAP. Ashorocetus (talk | contribs) 05:52, 25 May 2019 (UTC)
OK, I have reviewed both articles and they pass with flying colors: Both are well cited, long enough, new enough, and follow BLP guidelines as well. No copyvios detected (except of course the quotations and the list of publications on Chen Xiuxiong's page were false positives). The hook is interesting and short - but it's not clear. This is an area of mathematics I'm not very familiar with. Is a Fano manifold the same as a Fano plane as the redirect would suggest? Or is it a Fano variety, or something else? Some clarity here would be helpful, and this term should also be linked in any case. Ashorocetus (talk | contribs) 06:50, 25 May 2019 (UTC)
With the addition of the link, this is good to go. Ashorocetus (talk | contribs) 20:34, 25 May 2019 (UTC)
- @Ashorocetus: Thanks for your review. I was going to add that a Fano variety is a projective manifold, see "Fano varieties; Iskovskih’s classification". None of the mathematics courses I took in college was in geometry, so I'm by no means an expert in the field, but Fano variety and Fano manifold are closely related and often discussed together in literature. I've changed the redirects accordingly. -Zanhe (talk) 20:43, 25 May 2019 (UTC)
