Chapter 133 Sorry, I really can’t think of a title for this chapter!
After the meeting, when going to dinner, the two professors with the highest status in the academic world naturally walked together with Qiao Yu and Tian Yanzhen.
Well, Qiao Yu must be put first here.
After all, the big guys came together this time because they wanted to chat with Qiao Yu a little more.
“Well, I heard that mathematicians are graded as Fields Medal mathematicians, and mathematicians give sixty-minute reports... Then I just give a sixty-minute report. Is it already the second level of mathematics? Home?" Qiao Yu asked Schultz beside him excitedly.
It’s not that I don’t give Mr. Pierre Delini face, but that this boss is a bit older after all. Relatively speaking, Peter Schulz, who is not yet forty years old, should understand the minds of young people better. There is no obstacle to chatting.
“First of all, I have never heard of this statement. But I think even if there is such a statement, the Sixty Minute Report on Mathematicians should refer to the World Congress of Mathematicians, not this kind of satellite conference .
And sixty minutes. There are many types of reports. They are opening reports, closing reports, main venues, or sub-venues... In short, if there are no restrictions, sixty-minute reports are actually very common, so if you are referring to the sixty-minute speech at the World Congress of Mathematicians. Report, that is indeed valuable.
Secondly, if you can give a sixty-minute report at the World Congress of Mathematicians, you will usually receive many mathematics awards. For example, many Fields Medal winners have been invited to the World Congress of Mathematicians at different times. I gave a sixty-minute report on it.
If I remember correctly, your supervisor, Professor Tian, once won the Veblen Medal, and I don’t think you should consider this now. You will even be nominated for the Fields Medal next year. But I think it’s most likely to be a companion.
Because you are too young. When I was your age, I was still working hard to attend IMO, but you were already attending mathematics conferences. So, I think you don't need to worry at all. Wouldn’t it be better to bypass the so-called second-tier mathematicians and directly become a first-tier mathematician? "
Peter Schulz shrugged his shoulders and said.
What he said also made Pierre Delini and Tian Yan smile knowingly.
< br>Successful older people mostly like young people who are both capable and motivated, because it’s like seeing their younger selves
“Oh, that’s it. But I also want to participate in this year’s IMO, and I will go in July. I also want to get a gold medal and bring honor to my country. "Qiao Yu didn't care about the smiles of the old professors and said grandly.
"You? Going to participate in IMO? Are you not qualified to participate?" Pierre Delini took over Qiao Yu's words.
"Huh? Why am I not qualified? IMO as long as high school students under 20 years old can participate?" Qiao Yu looked at this math giant in surprise.
"Yes, the problem lies with high school students. Only high school students who have not registered at a university are eligible to participate in IMO. Aren't you already at Yanbei University?" Pierre Dery Ni said, and then glanced at Tian Yanzhen next to him.
"Oh, I'm not afraid of this. I just came to Yanbei University for the past six months to get used to college life. In fact, my student status is still in high school." Qiao Yu explained understandingly, and then glanced at Director Tian.
Tian Yanzhen smiled but said nothing.
When he finally signed up, Qiao Yu's student status was indeed still in Xingtie No. 1 Middle School. However, after submitting proof of enrollment and registration, I had already transferred to Yanbei University, creating a time lag.
Generally speaking, after registration and review, the IMO organizing committee will not confirm the student status information of the players one by one, nor does it have the authority.
Of course Qiao Yu's situation is indeed a little different...
"Oh? But as far as I know, you have a paper published by Yujiang University and officially held at IMO In the past, there would be papers published by units of the Yanbei Mathematics Research Center. Of course, the organization where the paper was published has nothing to do with your student status.
Generally speaking, the IMO organizing committee will not pay attention to this, but if other delegations complain about your taking the exam, it is obviously inappropriate. To be fair..."
Speaking of this, Pierre Delini spread his hands, his expression seemed to say, you know...
Qiao Yu was stunned, he really hadn't thought about this, and asked suspiciously : "No, other delegations can also complain about whether the players are eligible to participate?"
"Of course, if you participate in IMO, it will make most people If most delegations are troubled, they may even receive collective complaints from multiple delegations. The organizing committee must also consider everyone's opinions, so I think it will be very difficult if you want to win an IMO gold medal. You can seal everyone's mouths," said Pierre Delini, shrugging.
What can I say, this angle is too tricky, and Qiao Yu didn't expect it.
What is the source of good fortune and misfortune? There is no doubt that this is it.
Isn’t it his own pleasure to decide which institution the paper he wrote will be accepted into? And this is obviously not his problem, but the problem of the journal editor. After all, when the unit writes about a middle school, the editors may not even read it and just throw it in the trash can.
"Well...what if the paper is postponed?" Qiao Yu asked after thinking for a while.
“The paper can be postponed, but tomorrow’s meeting cannot be postponed. Let’s put it this way, at tomorrow’s meeting, the experts and judges of the IMO organizing committee and judges will be listening to your report in the audience. There are IMO team leaders and professors from many countries. After they see you on the podium tomorrow, how will they feel when they see you in the IMO arena again in July? Feeling?
Anyway, if I were also a team leader, I would definitely have some questions. And you should also think about the IMO judges and let them supervise you to participate in the competition. Well, to be honest, if If you must have this obsession and want to participate in IMO, I may recommend you to be a judge for this IMO.”
Qiao Yu thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's wait until the time comes. We have alternate players anyway."
After briefly chatting about IMO, He had already arrived at the restaurant.
Actually, the lunch time has passed, but the living habits here are obviously different from those in China. Those big boss professors obviously don't care about lunch, and are used to eating sandwiches, barbecue and the like.
Everyone’s topic also changed to Qiao Yu’s complementary proof method for the geometric Langlands conjecture.
The method of local-global consistency correction operator borrows some basic results of higher-order homology and local-global compatibility theory, and takes advantage of the basic properties of homomorphic space HOM, especially local and global Homomorphic mapping between systems to solve problems is indeed a brand-new idea.
The most active ones are probably Dennis and Schultz.
In the words of Schulz: "I have always believed that the full picture of the geometric Langlands conjecture is far from being revealed, but there is no doubt that Qiao Yu's plan brings us closer to its true essence. In this way The work is not only a technical achievement, but also reflects a new way of mathematical thinking."
As for Dennis's evaluation, it is simpler: "Yes, this is really exciting."
Of course there are some subtexts, but neither of them said it because everyone knew it.
It is hard to imagine that this is the insight of a sixteen-year-old boy.
All the professors participating in the meeting had a tacit understanding and did not mention Professors Sam and Frank.
Of course it is useless to mention it. The tenderness shown in the academic world is often an illusion.
It’s just that Qiao Yu, who should be in high spirits, is actually not in a high mood.
Going to Australia to win an IMO gold medal was a goal he had set for himself before, but now he may not be able to get the medal due to human intervention, which makes him feel quite sad. complex.
Looking at the good news, maybe Professor Pierre Delini is being alarmist. Maybe he thought too badly of the team leaders...
After all, IMO is a team competition, and a gold medal does not actually determine the final result of the team competition.
Forget it...I don’t want to anymore!
Now that things have come to this point, we can’t not give a report at the meeting, right?
Qiao Yu can still tell the difference between what is light and what is serious.
……
Pan Jingyuan came to the hotel in the afternoon with several Huaqing professors.
After the plane landed and the internet was installed, Pan Jingyuan received a message from Professor Dennis. And immediately called Dennis back.
After arriving at the hotel and checking in, Pan Jingyuan immediately found Dennis in the hotel room.
"Qiao Yu gave a complete solution?" Pan Jingyuan asked as soon as they met.
"Yes, I said, he is a magical Chinese boy." Dennis nodded.
"Is there a detailed process?"
"Of course, he has already explained it in detail to the organizing committee's review committee during the morning seminar. But I don't think it's fair to Qiao Yu to repeat it again, but you We can hear his thoughts tomorrow, so let’s wait a day.” Dennis spread his hands and said.
"Tomorrow?" Pan Jingyuan was slightly stunned, confused, and asked: "But I remember that Qiao Yu's report should be on the morning of the second day of the conference."
"Yes, originally That's right. But it has been changed. The organizing committee and Professor Schultz will come forward to persuade Shi. Professor geruMukai gave the opening speech of the conference to Qiao Yu, which was unanimously recognized by the review experts of the on-site organizing committee. "
Okay, Dennis said this last sentence. "Recognition" is not to give yourself a pat on the back. Many people don't know that he was actually the one to deliver the opening report of this conference.
Then Dennis said with a smile: "So in tomorrow's opening report, Qiao Yu will spend about fifteen minutes briefly explaining about conjugate ridge singular points, and use the rest of the time to tell everyone how he solved the local-global unification. sex problem, and modify the Ambidexterity theorem."
"Opening report of the meeting?" Pan Jingyuan was stunned, and then he couldn't help but feel envious.
After all, he has never had the experience of giving an opening report at such a world-wide academic conference.
There were quite a few speeches at the small-scale report meeting.
"Yes, Pierre Delini took the initiative. The organizing committee is probably in a hurry to change the brochure. Fortunately, this is not the World Congress of Mathematicians, otherwise it would really be a mess. Phew... But at least this solves a problem for us, Pan."
Dennis said with a shrug.
Pan Jingyuan was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses.
“So we don’t notify Sam and Frank in advance?”
“Sam will come to this meeting and I will go talk to him tonight. As for Frank, I think he will also I understood it immediately. After all, Mr. Lucas Eisen should already know the news," Dennis said without hesitation.
Obviously he has made his decision.
LGIR is used to further construct a global morphism, and the reconstructed object of each local singular point is mapped to a new algebraic layer, thereby achieving consistency on the entire algebraic variety and making the geometric Langlands conjecture independent of features. It still holds true in the case of layer automorphism.
This idea was something they had never thought of before. It was crazy enough and effective enough.
Based on Dennis’ understanding of Sam, the other party should be able to understand his difficulties.
This is not betrayal, but respect for mathematics.
More effective and almost flawless mathematical methods are more likely to resonate with everyone.
"I understand." Pan Jingyuan took a deep breath. He originally planned to talk to Qiao Yu, but now he suddenly gave up.
After all, he actually has special feelings for Qiao Yu.
At least on this issue, he is half a mentor to Qiao Yu. It was he who led Qiao Yu to understand this topic in depth. If this was a final exam, then Qiao Yu seemed to have submitted a perfect answer sheet that was recognized by the authority.
As a teacher, it was a special feeling to know how the answer sheet was written from the report meeting the next day.
Dennis nodded at Pan Jingyuan and said: "Okay, Pan, go have something to eat and then rest early. Anyway, this is actually good news for us, we succeeded. Continue Next we can use these new tools to do more things
High-dimensional Langlands correspondence, Langlands parameterized space structure, non-commutative geometry and Langlands correspondence... Look, we have saved a lot of time and can focus on more interesting problems. I believe Sam and Frank must have thought so too. "
"Of course, you are right. But... never mind, thank you, Dennis. "
"Haha, no need to say thank you. We are partners now. "
...
On the other side, in the activity room prepared by the organizing committee for this exchange of mathematicians, Li Lixing, who had also just arrived at the hotel, was chatting with a familiar professor.
"Hi, Professor Li, have you heard? The organizing committee for tomorrow's opening report has decided to make a temporary substitution. It is said that Professor Shigeru Mukai feels unwell, so his report will be changed before the closing ceremony."
< br>"Oh? Not feeling well?" Li Lixing was stunned for a moment, and then immediately realized that this was most likely a euphemism given by the organizing committee to save the face of the professor who was scheduled to give the opening report.
Generally speaking, if there is no serious illness, such as a small cold or fever, it will probably not affect the 60-minute report.
If there is any serious illness, I will not drag my body to make a pre-closing report.
“So which professor’s achievements made the organizing committee decide to make a temporary substitution?” Li Lixing asked casually.
It has nothing to do with him anyway.
If they produce results, Yizuo will have a chance to compete for the opening report, but their problem has not been completely solved.
But this kind of thing is indeed abnormal.
You must know that as a satellite conference of the World Congress of Mathematicians, the World Congress on Algebraic Geometry is not held at a fixed time. Generally, such a conference will be held only when the organizing committee feels that some good results have been achieved recently.
The opening report of each conference should, of course, address the most popular research topics in the near future.
After all, algebraic geometry is an extremely important and also extremely lively field of mathematical research.
Li Lixing heard before that this conference was originally determined to be held because of the breakthrough in the geometric Langlands conjecture. As a result, just one month before the conference was scheduled to be scheduled, Qiao Yu suddenly found a loophole in the proof. As a result, the organizing committee temporarily changed the candidates for the opening report.
From the geometric Langlands conjecture, it became the problem of K3 surface.
Who would have thought that suddenly, just one day before the meeting, the candidates for the report would be revised...
This year's conference was full of twists and turns.
"Huh? You don't know? It's that Qiao Yu. I just heard Professor Su from Yanbei University say that Qiao Yu joined your research group some time ago. Don't you have any communication with each other?"
"Qiao Yu? Wasn't he invited to give a thirty-minute report?" Li Lixing asked in shock.
“Yes, but I heard that he solved the problem he raised about the failure of the Ambidexterity theorem due to conjugate ridge singular points during this period. In other words, they picked out a problem, Then the problem was solved, so the thirty-minute report meeting was not enough. "
Well, for this reason...
Well, Li Lixing's first thought was to stay in Huaqing. Mr. Yuan must have felt very regretful at this time.
Mr. Yuan was actually invited to the conference.
But Mr. Yuan felt that Qiao Yu only gave a thirty-minute report, so he declined.
The old man was still joking when he was leaving yesterday. He wanted to take good care of his health and wait until Qiao Yu gave his opening report at the World Congress of Mathematicians before going to listen to it.
As a result, he heard such news as soon as he came here today.
“Is this news confirmed?”
"I'm sure you'll know when you go to the lobby later. There are already staff replacing the posters."
"Then...well, this is indeed a great contribution. This also makes me more I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s report meeting.” Li Lixing replied.
To be honest, even though he said so, Li Lixing was confused in his head. He couldn't understand Qiao Yu even more.
He originally thought that Qiao Yu must have been thinking with them for so long in May about how to continue to promote the two-dimensional generalization of Chevalet's theorem. Strictly speaking, this belongs to the geometric representation theory and geometric theory. Questions in the Lands Program Area.
As a result, Qiao Yu went to solve the problem he raised.
So the young man's energy is so strong, isn't there a bottleneck in his head?
......
In another conference room, Princeton’s Zhang Shuwen and Lot Dugan had just learned the news.
Although he came in the morning, he did not attend the small seminar held specifically for Qiao Yu. After all, he is not a member of the current organizing committee, nor does he hold a position on the review team.
Actually, he and Lot Dugan came to this meeting because of Lot Dugan's invitation last time.
The dean of the Princeton School of Mathematics still planned to talk to Qiao Yu.
And as the editor-in-chief of Ann.Math, one of the four top mathematics journals in the world, he certainly has no shortage of invitations to such large-scale academic conferences. In fact, even editors will not be lacking.
Even though the N-body problem he studied does not directly belong to the category of algebraic geometry strictly speaking.
Of course, it cannot be said that there is no intersection at all. After all, many special cases of the N-body problem can constitute a completely integrable system. Such systems are often studied with the help of Riemann surfaces and Abelian varieties in algebraic geometry.
Not to mention that N-body problems often need to be studied under the framework of Hamiltonian dynamics, and the phase space of the Hamiltonian system has a symplectic structure. Symplectic geometry and algebraic geometry are closely related in some cases...
If we discuss some generalized and abstract N-body problems, we can abstract particle motion into a vector field on an algebraic variety. Algebraic geometric methods become an effective tool when studying dynamical behavior on these algebraic varieties.
So the little old man's attainments in algebraic geometry are actually quite profound. Whether it is qualifications or achievements, he is at least better than 80% of the professors who specialize in algebraic geometry. Naturally, he is more qualified to participate in this event. After hearing the news, Lot Dugan was also surprised.
"Oh, Professor Zhang, really, I think that boy should be your student. He is using actions to implement your ideas, and is good at asking questions for himself and then solving them. ! I remember you always asked this for students."
It was an exaggerated tone, but Zhang Shuwen didn't know how to answer for a while.
Although he had met Qiao Yu once, to be honest, he didn't seem to have said these words that day.
However, considering what he said that day, Qiao Yu also completed it very well, so Zhang Shuwen was even a little unsure whether he had told Qiao Yu this.
"Professor Tian will be very unhappy if he hears what you said." Zhang Shuwen replied casually to Lott Dugan's ridicule.
Well, like Pan Jingyuan, his curiosity was also piqued.
This question is actually very interesting, just as interesting as when Qiao Yu found the loophole in the geometric Langlands conjecture. He also wanted to know how Qiao Yu solved the problem that this kid found.
"I don't want to worry about this anymore. In fact, according to the information I got, your previous analysis was correct. The kid has already been on the line with Schultz. Who knows what they have talked about. To let a sixteen-year-old A 20-year-old kid is giving an opening report! In short, those old guys must be crazy!"
Lot Dugan let out a long sigh.
Of course Zhang Shuwen understood the reason why Lot Dugan sighed.
This little old man is probably desperate.
After all, it is indeed difficult for him to hope to win from the competition.
Although Princeton is indeed attractive to many students, it is unlikely that these will include a sixteen-year-old boy who can speak at a conference of world-class mathematicians.
Let’s put it this way, after tomorrow’s meeting, sixteen-year-old Qiao Yu will probably become the focus of the entire mathematics world. Any university in the world... as long as it has a mathematics department, who wouldn't want to attract such a young genius?
Just like capital markets such as stocks or futures, what mathematicians value more is definitely not Qiao Yu’s achievements now, but expectations. Yes, what everyone pays more attention to is their expectations for Qiao Yu's future.
It is expected that the views he discusses will be widely recognized by a possible future world leader in mathematics.
Just like the twenty-three questions Hilbert raised at the World Congress of Mathematicians in Paris in 1900, they covered many fields of number theory, algebra, geometry, and analysis, and directly promoted the entire mathematical research. develop.
With such an outstanding alumnus, the influence of Hilbert’s alma mater, the University of Königsberg, is unquestionable. In that era, the University of Königsberg attracted many academic elites and became one of the centers of European science and culture at that time.
It is simply that due to some well-known reasons in that era, this school can be said to have ceased to exist.
If modern mathematics has begun to move into many subdivisions, it is natural that if a nearly dominant mathematical leader like Hilbert emerges again, it can bring great benefits to his alma mater. Doubtful.
"Really, Professor Dugan, I suggest you stop thinking so much. As I said before, Qiao Yu doesn't seem to plan to study abroad. And to be honest, even if there is an exchange, the current United States It's not his best choice," Zhang Shuwen said seriously.
Lot Dugan glanced at Zhang Shuwen and was unable to say anything against it.
In this special era, some things can no longer be kept outside the academic circle. The high walls of the school can no longer block many things. Of course he understands this.
"Damn..." The little old man with a bad temper cursed. Of course, no one knew what he was cursing.
......
Thousands of kilometers away in Berkeley, California, Frank was still lying in bed and was awakened by the ringing sound on the bedside table.
"Whose phone number? Honey?" asked my wife who was sleeping next to me.
Frank picked up the phone and looked at it: "Grandpa."
"So early?" his wife complained.
Yes, the call was from Lucas Eisen.
That is, his father-in-law’s biological father, the big boss of the Philippines Awards in Qiao Yu’s mouth. He is also a member of the presidium of the organizing committee of the World University of Algebraic Geometry.
Of course, for this kind of non-fixed related conference, although the members of the bureau are generally top scholars in the field, this position is not fixed.
After all, this member of the presidium is not just an honorary title, he really has to work, and he doesn't get a salary. Everyone needs to be responsible for planning the meeting content, selecting invited speakers, and coordinating various affairs.
Big guys often don’t have so much time to waste. So if you look at the list of presidiums for previous sessions, you will find that the members of the presidium are actually different for each conference.
As many people know, the most important topic of this meeting was originally the geometric Langlands conjecture. The conference also intends to propose a series of related reports around this issue to showcase the latest research results to other researchers.
There is no doubt that this is one of the fastest ways to enhance academic influence.
Originally, Yonex Frank was also going to participate, but due to well-known reasons, the relevant report was not suitable for presentation for the time being. Instead, Qiao Yu was given the opportunity to give this thirty-minute report.
Well, things in this world are just coincidences sometimes, what can be done?
When Frank received a call from the old man at this time, he actually felt very complicated.
Of course he knows that the meeting will be officially held tomorrow, but what can be done?
This problem still cannot be solved.
But Frank could only cheer up and answer the call. After all, the elderly can provide him with great help.
Of course, he was also a little confused, because he had already reported to the old man that he would not attend this meeting.
After all, if he went, other members of the research team would definitely go to listen to Qiao Yu's report, and he would have no choice but to go. But if he goes, let him listen to the report of his wild son in the audience?
If the opportunity to report this time was not snatched away from him, maybe Frank could still have this demeanor, but it is a pity...
After changing these thoughts, Frank answered directly Telephone.
"Hi, Grandpa..." Frank tried to sound relaxed and without too many negative emotions.
"I have very bad news to tell you, Frank."
Frank could hear the tone of the other person's voice being a little heavy, which made him subconsciously feel something was wrong.
"Well, to be honest, I can't think of any news that could be worse than what I'm doing right now, you know, I'm dealing with that problem and I still don't have a clue..."
“That’s it, Frank, you don’t need to think about this problem anymore. The young man in China has solved it completely. This problem has been solved. So his original thirty-minute report will be temporarily replaced by the opening report. I can’t even object, because I was the first to support the geometric Langlands problem as the opening report!”
"What, he has completely solved this problem? He has even received small-scale recognition? So..."
"No more. The reason why this news is bad is because his solution completely bypassed your and Sam's method. In other words, he used a new method to bypass your proof and was able to Completely solve the targeted problem he raised. In other words, you and Sam are destined to be eliminated from this subject."
The old man's voice was actually very calm, probably because of his more than sixty years of mathematics. I have seen this kind of thing a lot in my career.
Mathematicians discover the entry point of an important problem and then conduct research on this problem. Most people work very hard and rack their brains to contend with the difficult problems that plague the world, but it is obvious that not everyone Everyone will succeed.
In a sense, the old man is lucky. He defeated many of his peers and became the leader of this era.
Obviously, Frank wasn't that lucky, that's all.
This kind of thing happens all the time, and no one can completely avoid it as long as you are involved in it. Even if he won the Fields Medal and became an honorary academician from many countries, the team he led would still encounter such annoying things.
It’s just something that he thinks doesn’t matter, but it’s obviously not that easy for Frank to accept.
In fact, Frank has been living smoothly since he came to this land, and he has hardly encountered any major setbacks.
There is no doubt that this time was the biggest blow to his academic career. For a moment, he did not come back to his senses, and subconsciously asked a stupid question: "Wait a minute, I don't quite understand. , what does it mean to be out?”
“Frank, you’re asking this. The question is really stupid. Literally, the proof of the geometric Langlands conjecture or the generalization of the Ambidexterity theorem has nothing to do with you anymore. Of course, your team may thank you for your efforts on this problem. .
For example, on their paper, say thank you and Sam. But that's about it. I hope you can take heart and know that this kind of thing is almost inevitable. If your goal has not changed, then you need to work harder on the next problem. "
The old man replied slightly impatiently.
No way, smart people are usually very sensitive and disgusted with such stupid questions.
Frank finally learned from this He regained consciousness in his impatient tone, and the words "It's not fair" were stuck in his throat, and he finally didn't say it out.
But the huge loss still swept through his mind instantly.
Five whole years...five years...just when we were about to have fruitful results, we were suddenly robbed? !
What he couldn't accept the most was that the person who robbed him of the fruits of victory was probably related to him by blood? !
However, he obviously couldn't say these words to the old man on the phone at this time. He could only force himself to calm down and replied in a low voice: "I'm sorry, Grandpa, I'm too anxious. I think you can Understand, one second I was still thinking about this problem, and the next second I heard such news, not even from Dennis..."
"It's okay, I understand, Frank, you It was definitely uncomfortable at the time, but it wasn’t. The method is mathematics. By the way, I suggest you contact Qiao Yu more and have a good relationship with him, because there are many people who think highly of him even in the Mathematical Union Committee.
You should understand. This kind of optimism is not based on some complicated reasons, and it doesn't even have anything to do with his so-called mentor. It's just because he is only sixteen years old, and there are many possibilities for you in the future. You should have something in common.
By the way, Delini met him today and told me that he looked a bit like you when you were young. But you know, that old guy looks like him to everyone. I don't think he can tell what Asians look like at all. ”
The old man’s tone began to slow down, and he even made a very American joke, but Frank felt cold sweat break out on his forehead.
For a while, he didn’t even know how to answer this sentence.
Take the initiative to contact Qiao Yu?
“I understand, thank you, Grandpa. ”
"Okay, I just want to inform you that there are still some things to deal with next. You should know how troublesome it is to temporarily change the opening speaker. By the way, if you decide to attend this meeting, you can leave now. I can catch up with the opening report tomorrow morning."
After listening to the busy tone on the phone, Frank turned on the front camera of his phone and looked at his.
Time is indeed like a fattening agent. His face has gained weight, and there are not many traces of the prime of life when he was in his teens and twenties. Looking back, when China was young, ID cards had a very short validity period, so it made sense to have to change photos every few years.
After seeing his photo, Frank had already opened his mobile phone and started booking a flight. It's a long way from California to Paris, and the only way to catch this meeting is a direct flight, but that's Lucas Eisen's suggestion.
Although it is just a suggestion, unless you really can't book a ticket, Frank would be better off listening to this suggestion.
Although the old man usually speaks very elegantly, he rarely forces the people around him to do what they want. He only gives some pertinent suggestions sometimes. Of course, you can ignore these suggestions and nothing bad will seem to happen.
It is nothing more than that those good things in the future will quietly no longer favor those who do not listen to the old man's advice.
Everything happened quietly and quietly. The old man was still a big figure in the academic world and had an excellent reputation. Many students regard the elderly as their idols, and as for some random and noisy voices...
Oh, which successful person doesn't have a few sunspots behind him? They are just jealous, slandering, and slandering...
It's good that there is a direct United Airlines flight to Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport from San Francisco International Airport, which is only half an hour's drive from his home, and will take off in two hours.
If all goes well, the plane will arrive at Charles de Gaulle Airport ten and a half hours after takeoff. It will take about an hour to get from Charles de Gaulle Airport to the Monet Hotel. He can even rest for two or three hours before the meeting starts.
"What are you doing?" The wife beside me sat up.
"Grandpa asked me to go to Paris for a meeting. He is in Paris."
"Paris? God, what time is it now?"
"It was just seven o'clock , it should be...well, it's already three o'clock in the afternoon. There are still eighteen hours before the algebraic geometry conference in Paris starts tomorrow. "I have to hurry up." As he said this, Frank got up from the bed.
"Did something bad happen? Frank."
Frank, who was getting dressed, looked at his wife sitting on the bed with a smile and said: "It's nothing, you know, Grandpa has such a character, he I feel that I need to listen to the opening report tomorrow, and I decided to follow the advice of an old man. "
"I will tell him at the next family dinner, You can't always give embarrassing advice like this. "
"Thank you, but it's not necessary, my dear, after all, he is doing it for my own good." As he said, the man leaned down and kissed his wife. He hurriedly walked into the bathroom...
But in the man's mind, what he was thinking at this time was whether he should let that Qiao Yu know that he actually had a father...
< br>
Only in private of course.
Because he is not ready to let everyone around him know that he still has a son.
As for the reasons for his wrong judgment, it was mainly based on some coincidences.
After discovering the existence of Qiao Yu, Frank logged on to the Chinese Internet and searched for a lot of information about Qiao Yu.
Just after Qiao Yu was on the hot search, a lot of information that was originally only on Tieyizhong’s official account was also put online by interested people.
For example, Qiao Yu's essay was designated as a model essay by the teacher during a mock test.
In that essay, Qiao Yu used delicate words to describe how he and his mother went to the cemetery to worship his father as usual during the Qingming Festival. He expressed his longing and memory for his father, and his feelings were extremely sincere.
Really, Frank was slightly touched at that time...and of course angry.
He thought that Qiao Xi deceived Qiao Yu and told Qiao Yu that he was dead. The woman even set up a monument for him even though she knew he was still alive.
Yes, Frank never thought that there was a last paragraph in that essay, but it was too O. Henry. The teacher was afraid of teaching other students badly, so he deleted it from the official account...
So much so that he saw Qiao Yu's Weibo saying that his father had left when he was very young. Like other netizens, he thought this sentence meant that he was dead...
Let's see , many times, information gradually becomes incomplete in the process of dissemination, and brings many terrible misunderstandings to people.
The information on the Internet may not be all false, but the most terrifying thing is that this information is not all false...
...
Paris, Royal Motte At the Nye Hotel, Qiao Yu and Schulz chatted happily all afternoon.
He asked some questions and got answers from Professor Schulz, including questions about complete space theory and what Schulz is doing now.
This conversation also opened Qiao Yu's eyes and learned a lot of first-hand information about Schultz's recent research, that is, specific information about the liquid tensor experiment.
For this project, Schulz proposed the liquid homology theory.
To put it simply, it is to use the complete space to construct a further highly abstract framework, which involves a large number of highly abstract algebraic and geometric constructions, so that traditional manual verification cannot guarantee its strict correctness.
So the correctness and consistency of these structures must be verified through liquid tensor experiments and computer-aided formal proofs.
This project interested Qiao Yu, not only because it was very profitable, but also because it opened his eyes to many possibilities.
Allowing artificial intelligence to assist mathematicians in proving mathematical theorems is really too abstract.
However, this project that excited Qiao Yu also had a huge impact on him.
Because what mathematicians need to do in this project is to break down many mathematical theorems and propositions in detail so that the computer can understand them, and at the same time ensure that each step is correct in the formalization process. Accurate...
When he explained to Qiao Yu how to do this job, several examples Schulz gave casually made Qiao Yu realize that his basic knowledge of mathematics seemed to be very good. Lack... even in the field of algebraic geometry, which he is currently best at.
The lack of basic knowledge once made Schultz unbelievable...
"This is impossible, Qiao Yu. This is Bourbaki's completeness theorem, which involves the properties of complete objects in algebraic geometry. Don't you think I haven’t been exposed to it before!”
“Well… I haven’t read that many books recently. I just read them selectively... This theorem doesn't seem to have anything to do with the embedding and structure of algebraic varieties, right?"
"Oh God...so you haven't studied these systematically, and then solved the geometric problem. Lanz guessed?”
“It’s not a solution, right? I just changed it...”
"Huh... Qiao Yu, you are the strangest math student I have ever seen. Maybe... well, prepare your report for tomorrow first! Damn it, I'm starting to envy you! Really!"
< br>Really, for the first time, Qiao Yu couldn't be sure whether the other person was praising him...
Thanks to the Chinese treasure, Wu Conglu, for the reward and encouragement!
The 10,000-word punch-in was completed on the fourth day!
It’s past the scheduled publishing time, and I can’t think of a title!
