我的数学、文学与艺术之旅
I have myself always thought of a mathematician as in the first instance an observer, a man who gazes at a distant range of mountains and notes down his observations. His object is simply to distinguish clearly and notify to others as many different peaks as he can.

Hi! welcome to Haoran Liang’s ( 梁 浩然) home page.
As the name suggests, this website aims to document some of the beautiful scenery along Haoran’s journey through mathematics, literature, and the arts. His old webpage can be found here.
He jointed King’s College London in Summer 2024 as a PhD student under the supervision of Payman Kassaei and Fred Diamond. He is also fortunate to be aligned with the LSGNT program. Previously, he completed his Master’s at ETH Zürich and Bachelor‘s at Xi’an Jiaotong University.
He is a big fan of number theory with broad interests in its intersecting areas. He considers himself as an apprentice in the art of ``applying mathematics’’ – that is, borrowing any tools available to tackle number-theoretical problems. Currently, he is particularly drawn to the following topics
- p-adic automorphic forms and eiegnvarieties;
- mod p and p-adic Galois representations;
- Iwasawa theory, especially p-adic L-functions;
- geometry of Shimura varieties;
- non-Archimedean geometry;
- ······
When not struggling with mathematics, he can usually be found reading, playing badminton, or exploring museum exhibits (ideally with a good audioguide). Before the rise of AI, he greatly enjoyed playing Go; nowadays, he is learning to appreciate its artistry in the post-AI era.

| Jul 21, 2025 | Learning from people is of so much fun (honestly, too lazy to work through details of the eigenvariety machine and the construction of the eigencurve), so I’m organizing yet another (online) study group: eigenvarieties. |

| Jul 19, 2025 | 堂主完成了他的1000天埼玉挑战，我想我也应该做点什么。就从每日阅读习惯开始吧。 |
| Apr 8, 2025 | I’ve had Coates and Sujatha’s classic on Iwasawa theory on my reading list for a long time. So, Wenhan and I are organizing a study group to go through it :) |
| Mar 18, 2025 | AWS 2025 gave me a wonderful chance to meet many amazing people and explore cool mathematics. After returning, we started organizing an online study group on automorphic forms. Website here. |
| Jan 24, 2025 | 总是希望生活在别处，却不知别处在何方。好在，又一个春天要到来了。 |
