About this person
His work is considered the foundation for Kobayashi-Hitchin correspondence that links differential geometry and algebraic geometry of vector bundles over complex manifolds. He was also known for his collaboration with mathematician C. S. Seshadri, for their proof of the Narasimhan-Seshadri theorem which proved the necessary conditions for stable vector bundles on a Riemann surface.
