About me
I’m Yuenian Zhou (周越年), a Ph.D. candidate in mathematics and an associated member of SFB 1085 “Higher Invariants” at Universität Regensburg (Germany) since 2024, supervised by Prof. Moritz Kerz.
Previously, I completed my master’s studies at the Université Paris-Saclay (Paris-Sud) AAG (Analysis, Arithmetic, Geometry). Before that, I obtained my bachelor’s degree in mathematics at Zhejiang University in China.
My research interests lie in algebraic geometry and number theory, centered on the rigidity and arithmetic properties of local systems. I am especially interested in using moduli stacks to study local systems in the complex, p-adic, and ℓ-adic settings, including ℓ-independence, the Fontaine–Mazur conjecture, and Simpson’s motivicity conjecture.
More broadly, I want to use moduli-theoretic and stack-theoretic methods to understand geometric and arithmetic properties of local systems, including their deformation theory, rigidity, and behavior over mixed-characteristic local fields.
