Answer
Shing-Tung Yau's work in partial differential equations was important in the study of Ricci flow. Ricci flow is a geometric evolution equation that has been used to study geometric problems such as the Ricci curvature conjecture. Yau's work on Ricci flow helped to establish its importance in geometry and to develop techniques for studying its solutions.
