The research areas of Jie-Tai Yu are commutative algebra,
noncommutative algebra, and affine algebraic geometry.
Joint with his collaborators, Jie-Tai Yu has settled a few
long-standing open problems in these areas:
Solved Bergman's Embedding Problem for free associative algebras
(IJAC 2003 and BLNS 2003), settled the the strong Nagata Conjecture
(PNAS 2004), strong Anick Conjecture (PNAS 2006/JEMS 2007),
obtained a sharp lower degree bound for subalgebras generated by two
elements of a free associative algebra (JEMS 2008/J.Algeba 2012),
solved the z-Lifting Problem (Selecta Math 2011) and the z-Stable
Tameness Problem (Selecta Math 2012).
Jie-Tai Yu is on the editorial boards of Serdica Mathematical Journal
(Since 2004), Communications in Algebra (Since 2007), and
Communications in Mathematical Research (2012).
In 2010, Jie-Tai Yu was selected as one of distinguished scholars in the `National 1000 Plan' by
the Central Chinese Government.
