S. S. Chern school of differential geometry

Target entity: S. S. Chern school of differential geometry
Context triple: [Shiing-Shen Chern, notableStudent, S. S. Chern school of differential geometry]

• A. Nirenberg problem in differential geometry
  The Nirenberg problem in differential geometry is a classical question about prescribing Gaussian curvature on the 2-sphere via conformal deformations of the metric.
• B. Chern–Weil theory
  Chern–Weil theory is a framework in differential geometry that constructs characteristic classes of vector bundles from curvature forms, linking topology and geometry through invariant polynomials.
• C. Atiyah–Singer index theorem
  The Atiyah–Singer index theorem is a fundamental result in mathematics that links the analytical properties of elliptic differential operators to topological invariants of manifolds, unifying analysis, topology, and geometry.
• D. Donaldson–Uhlenbeck–Yau theorem
  The Donaldson–Uhlenbeck–Yau theorem is a fundamental result in differential and algebraic geometry that characterizes when a holomorphic vector bundle over a compact Kähler manifold admits a Hermitian–Einstein metric, linking geometric stability with the existence of such metrics.
• E. Bochner technique in Riemannian geometry
  The Bochner technique in Riemannian geometry is a method that uses Bochner-type identities and curvature conditions to derive vanishing theorems and rigidity results for differential forms and harmonic maps on manifolds.
• F. None of above. chosen
• G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
