'''Xiuxiong Chen''' ({{zh|s=陈秀雄|p=Chén Xiùxióng}}) is a Chinese-American mathematician whose research concerns [[differential geometry]] and [[Differentialdifferential equation|differential equations]]s.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.math.stonybrook.edu/~xiu/|title=Xiuxiong Chen|last=|first=|date=|website=Stony Brook University|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=2019-04-08}}</ref> A professor at [[Stony Brook University]] since 2010, he was elected a Fellow of the [[American Mathematical Society]] in 2015 and awarded the [[Oswald Veblen Prize in Geometry]] in 2019.

In 2019, Chen was awarded the prestigious [[Oswald Veblen Prize in Geometry]], together with [[Simon Donaldson]] and Chen's former student [[Song Sun]], for proving a long-standing conjecture on [[Fano manifolds]], which states "that a Fano manifold admits a [[Kähler-Einstein metric]] if and only if it is K-stable". It had been one of the most actively investigated topics in geometry since its proposal in the 1980s by [[Shing-Tung Yau]] after he proved the [[Calabi conjecture]]. It was later generalized by [[Gang Tian]] and Donaldson. The solution by Chen, Donaldson and Song was published in the ''[[Journal of the American Mathematical Society]]'' in 2015 as a three-article series, "Kähler–Einstein metrics on Fano manifolds, I, II and III".<ref >{{Cite web|url=http://www.ams.org/news?news_id=4705|title=2019 Oswald Veblen Prize in Geometry to Xiuxiong Chen, Simon Donaldson, and Song Sun|last=|first=|date=2018-11-19|website=American Mathematical Society|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=2019-04-09}}</ref><ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=https://news.stonybrook.edu/homespotlight/stony-brook-faculty-win-prestigious-veblen-prize-in-geometry/|title=Stony Brook Faculty Win Prestigious Veblen Prize in Geometry|last=|first=|date=2018-11-20|website=Stony Brook University|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=2019-04-08}}</ref>
