Chapter 237 Deligne’s shock and conflict
“We meet again!”
Deligne had a warm and enthusiastic smile on his face. After seeing Wang Donglai, he took the initiative to go up and give him a Wang Dong came for a hug.
As a big mathematician, Deligne's face is still very famous.
At this time, the peninsula was on the eve of a global conference of mathematicians, so there were many scholars and professors at the airport.
They all recognized Deligne and saw this scene.
Shocked!
The more people know about Deligne’s identity, the more shocked they are.
Because based on Deligne's current status in the mathematics community, there are not many people who can specifically pick him up at the airport.
And someone as young as Wang Donglai should not exist at all.
But something so impossible happened just before their eyes.
“Professor Deligne!”
Wang Donglai also greeted Deligne with a smile.
"Let me introduce to you, this is Professor Black from our Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton."
Deligne introduced the people around him to Wang Donglai.
Professor Black naturally knew Wang Donglai, so he stretched out his hand and shook it.
“Hello, nice to meet you!”
“Hello, I’m glad to meet you too!”
After a brief greeting, the three of them Head outside.
As for Yang Wanpeng and Hanhua, they left long ago.
They are self-aware and know that the gap between themselves and Deligne and Wang Donglai is too far, so naturally they will not get closer.
Soon.
Deligne and Wang Donglai sat down in a quiet cafe.
"Wang, what are you studying recently? I noticed that you haven't published a paper for a long time. I think with your ability, you shouldn't be unable to make achievements. Then there is only one reason. You Busy with other things."
After sitting down, Deligne asked directly.
His words were extremely confident and he was full of confidence in Wang Donglai.
This is indeed the case. Deligne has already seen Wang Donglai's academic performance.
He has also come from this age and knows that a person's academic peak is at this time.
Hearing what Deligne said, Wang Donglai was stunned for a moment, a little surprised.
He had never thought that Deligne would be waiting for him at the airport. When he saw Deligne, he was both touched and dumbfounded.
Because he felt that Deligne was probably worried that he would be affected by the news he had received before.
Now, after hearing what Deligne said, Wang Donglai was even more sure of this.
After thinking about it, Wang Donglai was not going to hide it from Deligne, so he said: "Professor Deligne, I have been studying a topic recently."
"Fortunately, luck. Yes, the problem has been solved."
A smile suddenly appeared on Deligne's face, with a hint of expectation, and he said: "Okay, I am looking forward to your paper."< br>
“Since you appeared, the mathematical world has become lively.”
“Although the previous academic world cannot be said to be a pool of stagnant water, it is indeed not very interesting. The ABC conjecture you proved is different from Huo Huo’s. Qi guessed that it would have a profound impact on the academic world.”
“Now, many people are looking forward to it. You can prove more mathematical problems and lead the subject of mathematics further.”
“We old guys are already old, and we will need you young people to step up in the future.”
Deligne did not ask Wang Donglai what the research project was, but praised Wang Donglai highly.
One thing to say is that Deligne's eloquence is not very good. When he said these words, he was obviously a little unskilled.
Unskilled is unskilled, but the sincerity in his tone is not disguised at all.
“Thank you Professor Deligne for your praise. The development of mathematics requires the joint efforts of everyone, and I am just one of them.”
Wang Donglai did not fully accept it, but sought truth from facts. Said something.
At this time, Professor Blair on the side spoke.
"Professor Wang Donglai, I have read your paper and your study experience. I would like to ask, what do you think about number theory?"
After Blair said this, Deligne explained He said something and said: "Professor Blair is a scholar who studies this field. He wants to discuss this knowledge with you."
However, after hearing the words of Professor Blair and Professor Deligne, Wang Donglai's expression Something strange.
After pondering for a moment, he said aloud: "Professor Blair, Professor Deligne, to tell you the truth, my research direction this time is in number theory, which is a very valuable mathematical problem. But I haven’t published a paper yet.”
Boom!
It was like a huge boulder smashed into the lake.
Both Professor Blair and Professor Deligne were stunned for a moment, subconsciously feeling that they had heard wrong.
“How is this possible!?”
“Is what you said true?”
Professor Blair looked in disbelief. Knowing Wang Donglai’s academic talent.
But after he raised this question, Wang Donglai said that he had proved a mathematical problem in this area.
This naturally gave him a great shock.
If he didn't know Wang Donglai well and knew that there was no grudge between the two, Blair might have thought that Wang Donglai was just amusing himself.
After the initial shock, Blair came to his senses.
Looking at Wang Donglai with extremely bright eyes, there was a hint of excitement in his expression.
"Professor Wang, if what you said is true, wouldn't it be a mathematical problem in number theory..."
Although Blair did not finish his words, both Wang Donglai and Deligne understood what Blair had left to say. What is the word.
"I really did not misjudge you!"
"To be honest, I feel a little envious now. I envy your academic talent. It would be great if you showed up earlier, or it would be me It would be great to be thirty years younger."
"I believe that in a few years, you will have a place in the field of mathematics all over the world, and you will reach the top and win the mathematics crown."
Deligne thought about it with a hint of emotion in his tone, extremely determined that this scene would happen.
Blair also nodded subconsciously and said, "That's true. Professor Wang, your academic talent exceeds my imagination and exceeds other people's estimates of you. Many people underestimate you. "I won the prize."
"The two professors won the award, and I only achieved a small result."
Wang Donglai's expression remained calm and indifferent, and did not change due to this. Be proud and arrogant.
And this kind of performance made the two of them look up to Wang Donglai.
...
After parting ways with Deligne, Wang Donglai returned to the hotel. As soon as they returned to the hotel, Yang Wanpeng and Han Hua came up to Wang Dong and asked him about something.
That is, people from the Chinese Mathematical Society are also here. The two of them are going to meet with domestic scholars and professors.
The Global Congress of Mathematicians is organized by the International Union of Mathematicians.
The International Mathematical Union is joined by various national mathematical societies, with a total of more than 70 member countries.
The Executive Committee of the International Mathematical Union is elected at its highest authority, the Congress of Member States of the International Mathematical Union. Because the size of each participating country and the development of mathematics are different, it is divided into Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ , IV, V categories , correspondingly, the number of voting representatives is also 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
There are only ten countries in level V, namely Bald Eagle, China, Island Country, Gaul, and Germany Country, Israel, Polar Bear, Great Britain, Canada, Italy.
There is also a member of China on the Executive Committee of the International Mathematical Union this time, which shows that China’s academic status is not low.
But many people know that the reason for this is that the International Mathematical Union accepted our country because of the huge contributions made by the older generation of mathematicians, coupled with the huge population and national strength.
And this is not achieved solely by academic ability.
It is precisely because of this that after the legal seats in IMU were restored in 1986, an arrangement was made to separate the five voting rights, leaving three votes for the mainland, two votes for Baodao, and one vote for Hong Kong .
So many people have great expectations that Wang Donglai will win the top international mathematics award.
In this way, the voice of Chinese mathematics in the international field of mathematics can be promoted, and the status and value of Chinese mathematics in the International Mathematical Union can be enhanced.
As a member of the Chinese Mathematicians Association, Wang Donglai did not attend the association’s year-end summary, but he was still one of his own, especially when he went abroad.
After hearing what Yang Wanpeng and Han Hua said, Wang Donglai agreed to their invitation to meet with domestic scholars and professors attending the conference.
After packing his things, Wang Donglai and Hanwha went to another hotel.
There were not a few people in China attending this conference. When many people saw Wang Donglai's appearance, they all smiled and said congratulations in advance.
Because in their opinion, Wang Donglai is already a sure shot at winning the Fields Medal.
Wang Donglai responded calmly to everyone's congratulations.
Soon, after chatting for a while, everyone dispersed and went about their own business.
While going downstairs, Wang Donglai met a group of people.
It is the scholars and professors of the island country, including Taro Watanabe.
"Watanabe-kun, I heard that when you were interviewed in China, you were not too polite to the young professor from China!"
One of the scholars from the island country The professor with a sly eyebrow turned his eyes when he saw Wang Dong coming, and said this to Taro Watanabe.
Being so provoked, Watanabe Taro naturally couldn't pretend to be mute.
With a sneer, he walked out of the crowd and stopped Wang Donglai.
Yang Wanpeng and Han Hua did not expect that someone would stop them and others.
The leader, Taro Watanabe, was even recognized by the two of them.
"Watanabe, what do you want to do?"
Han Hua's eyes flashed with anger and he said sternly.
"Chinese people, if I were you, I would go back home immediately instead of staying here to embarrass myself."
"I have said this in interviews before , this time the award will not go to you Chinese people.”
“You guys are just wasting your time here. and money!”
“I know that you all place your hopes on a young man like Wang Donglai, but I feel that you are out of touch. This is the Global Congress of Mathematicians, held every four years. The best mathematicians will be selected, and you Chinese people should not be able to win the award this time.”
"However, you don't have to worry. Professor Wang Donglai is still very young. Maybe he will be able to win this award in a few more decades."
"Hahaha..."
After saying that, Taro Watanabe laughed loudly.
The loud voice and the arrogant attitude immediately made Han Hua and Yang Wanpeng feel angry and wanted to take action.
Watanabe Taro is not a fool.
Before, he really had a gambling mentality and wanted to give it a try in order to change his state.
However, after he actually did this, he also heard some secret news because of his performance.
That is, there is no award for Wang Donglai at this Global Mathematicians Conference.
Although this news is a rumor and has not spread, Taro Watanabe firmly believes it.
Because the person who told him the news had a high status.
It was precisely because of knowing this news that Taro Watanabe completely let go of the burden in his heart.
Began to publicize his inferences and analysis in front of various media.
Although he did not explicitly say that there was a problem with Wang Donglai's grades, he deliberately used vague words to guide public opinion and attack and question Wang Donglai.
Just when Hanhua and Yang Wanpeng were about to stand up and scold Taro Watanabe and seek justice for Wang Donglai.
Wang Donglai walked out first.
He walked up to Taro Watanabe and looked at him condescendingly.
Wang Donglai is over 1.8 meters tall, while Taro Watanabe is just over 1.6 meters tall.
The height difference brought a great sense of oppression to Taro Watanabe.
“There is an old saying in our country that is very interesting. When a dog bites a man, a man cannot bite the dog.”
“This does not mean that there is nothing that man can do to the dog. .”
"Bloodletting, skinning, bone removal, and flesh cutting are all clearly arranged."
"In my eyes, you are actually just such a dog. It doesn't matter if you act arrogantly in your country." , and ended up provoking me, I admire your courage."
"So, I will prepare a big gift for you. I hope you will be satisfied by then!"
After saying that, Wang Donglai said. Just walk forward.
Affected by Wang Donglai's momentum, Watanabe Taro felt guilty and couldn't help but get out of the way, and even almost fell, looking extremely embarrassed.
"Damn! Damn the Chinese!"
Watanabe Taro cursed Wang Donglai crazily in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.
After Wang Donglai left, Taro Watanabe showed a ferocious look on his face, and his eyes became fierce.
"Baga!"
After saying this viciously, Taro Watanabe regained his composure, as if nothing had happened.
However.
There were many people in the hotel, and the verbal conflict between Taro Watanabe of the island country and Wang Donglai of China spread all over the circle of scholars from the peninsula who came to attend the conference.
Hearing such lively gossip, many people wanted to watch the excitement.
After I understood the entire cause of the incident, I became even more interested.
For a time, Wang Donglai and Taro Watanabe actually became celebrities, especially Taro Watanabe, who became famous through this incident since he was a little transparent.
Just like that, one night passed, and the Global Mathematicians Conference was held on time!
