The editors dedicate this volume to the late S.-S. Chern, one of the great mathematicians of the twentieth century, and a leader in the field of differential geometry. Chern made seminal advances in areas such as web geometry, integral geometry, complex geometry, Riemannian geometry, and Finsler geometry. He is well-known for the Chern-Simons theory, the Chern-Weil theory, and Chern classes. His brilliant research and teaching have exerted a deep and lasting influence on mathematics.
