Xia spent most of his career as a professor at Fudan University. He specialized in topological algebra theories and mathematical physics. Among his accomplishments, Xia proved two hypotheses in functional theory, establishing a parameter representation of reflection.
He also established topological algebra theories. He was the first to establish a singular integral operator model of abnormal operators. He also obtained important results in conditional, positive defined generalized functions and realized infinite dimensions systems.
He was elected to the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1980.
