远眺

Hi! welcome to Haoran Liang’s ( 梁 浩然) home page.

As its name suggests, this website aims to document some of the beautiful scenery along Haoran’s journey through mathematics, literature, and arts.

Haoran joined King’s College London in Summer 2024 as a PhD student, under the supervision of Prof. Payman Kassaei and Prof. 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, (families of) Galois representations, and eiegnvarieties;
• Iwasawa theory, especially p-adic L-functions;
• geometry of Shimura varieties;
• ······

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.

Let me also post here two lovely maps of provinces in China (resp. countries all over the world) I’ve been to, generated from 神奇海螺试验场 (which contains a lot of fun stuff):

Where, I get

• 5 pts (red) for long stays (at least 1 year);
• 4 pts (orange ) for short stays (at least 1 month);
• 3 pts (yellow) for trips;
• 2 pts (green) for business;
• 1 pt (blue) for passing by;
• 0 pt (purple) for planned trips;
• 0 pt (white) if I’ve never been there before.
