About
me.

I’m Yuenian Zhou (周越年) , a Ph.D. candidate in mathematics 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.

Research interests

My research interests lie in algebraic geometry and number theory, with a focus on local systems and their rigidity and arithmetic properties.

  • Complex, ℓ-adic, and p-adic local systems
  • Rigidity and arithmetic properties of local systems
  • ℓ-independence
  • Simpson’s motivicity conjecture
