What other theorem did Yau get recognized for?
Pythagoras Theorem
Calabi Conjecture
Newton's Theorem
Einstein's Theory
Answer
Yau was also known for his work on the Calabi conjecture, which he proved with Shigefumi Mori in 1977. The conjecture states that every compact Kahler manifold with positive Ricci curvature is algebraic, meaning that it can be described by a set of algebraic equations. This was a major breakthrough in algebraic geometry, and had a significant impact on the development of the field.
