Chapter 168 The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked
After reading the news report on Palm Hot News, Xu Chuan laughed angrily at the shameless response.
He remembers the communication at the Morning Star Mathematics Award gala in May very clearly.
Professor Mo did indeed participate in the exchange, but it can be said that he did not publish any valuable contributions throughout the process. Not to mention the detailed calculation processes and calculation data, he had no ideas in terms of theory, and he did not even say a few words. talk.
It can be said that the whole process is soy sauce. When listening to other people's communication, he actually said that he was the main communicator and there was no problem in using his own ideas to solve the hypothesis.
The level of shamelessness has reached the sky.
If his face were shaved off, he would probably be able to protect himself from nuclear bombs.
Before, Xu Chuan was thinking about how there could be such a stupid person in the world, who dared to plagiarize blatantly even though he knew there were four witnesses present.
Now it seems that this shameless thing has been prepared for a long time.
The other three witnesses now became a definite help to him.
At least, he, Professor Artur Avila and Hu Xingjian could not deny that he was indeed present. This was a fact, and many other mathematics professors witnessed it at the time.
But in this way, Professor Mo directly muddied the water.
After all, several months had passed, and no one knew the details except the four people who communicated at the time.
Even if he, Professor Avila, and Senior Brother Hu Xingjian all come forward to accuse him, as long as Professor Mo insists that he is the main communicator, there may not be anything that can be done against him.
The first is that he has no direct evidence to directly knock the other party to death and confirm that the other party has plagiarized.
After all, the other party did participate in the exchange at that time.
Even if he found Hu Xingjian and asked Brother Hu to help him and come forward to accuse him, it would only make the other party fall deeper into the vortex.
Secondly, in this case, Peking University will definitely choose to protect its professors.
First, Mo Kun is a mathematics professor at Peking University. Although he is only a master's tutor, he still belongs to one of our own. It is certain that the school will strive to protect its own people.
Second, the non-null hypothesis of Rankin-Selberg L-function is the core issue of L-function in Langlands program.
The proof of this kind of problem will be of great help in promoting the popularity of Peking University.
Although the proof of this problem is suspected of plagiarism, Peking University will not give up as long as the evidence is not conclusive.
The third is reputation. After all, it is one of the top universities in the country. It is not nice to say that the school's tutors and professors are suspected of plagiarism, and it will affect the reputation of the school to a certain extent.
Therefore, if it can be guaranteed, Peking University will definitely choose to protect Mo Kun.
Just like Tian Gang, he was also suspected of plagiarism, and a Fields Medal winner publicly expressed his dissatisfaction. However, the result was that the two sides fought back and defended each other for several rounds, and finally nothing came to an end.
He could not be directly accused of plagiarism. At most, he would be accused of academic immorality. This must have been something Mo Kun had considered and calculated.
A few days ago I was still thinking, how could there be such stupid people in this world.
Now it seems that he is stupid. This man is smarter than imagined and has already thought about it before and after.
Otherwise, based on the style of domestic universities, the first choice should not be to respond, but to directly search for hot topics, let the media withdraw the article, and reduce the popularity.
In the end, I couldn't hold it in any longer, so I stood up and responded.
This is the style of domestic universities. Family scandals should not be made public. This kind of direct response is clearly confident.
Taking advantage of the fact that several months have passed, I am indeed the person who communicated with me at the beginning, so I just took advantage of the troubled waters and took advantage of it.
The idea is really strong. If this idea is purely academic, let alone the Rankin-SelbergL-function non-null hypothesis proof, the Langlands Program can handle it.
It's a pity that I am obsessed with taking advantage of loopholes and taking the wrong path.
Shaking his head, Xu Chuan turned over the news and looked at the comments from netizens below.
Thanks to the hot promotion of the media Hot News, this matter has become a hot topic during his preparation for the CERN report meeting.
Now it is no longer just a report by one of its media. Major news media, some big technology V bloggers, and some marketing accounts have forwarded the news reports.
The outbreak of a famous professor at Peking University suspected of plagiarism has attracted the attention of many people.
[Beijing University, Peking University again, I remember there seemed to be a plagiarism incident at Peking University before, and it was also very uproar at that time. 】
[Tian Gang was accused by his mentor Qiu Chengtong, and the master and apprentice turned against each other. As a result, Qiu eventually went to Shuimu University instead of Peking University after returning to China. 】
[So this is an old tradition of Peking University? The domestic academic environment really stinks. 】
[Overseas, things are not much better. Plagiarism occurs everywhere. 】
[It’s not necessarily plagiarism. Professor Mo responded, saying that this was the exchange of theories and ideas between him and Professor Avila. I don’t think using my own ideas can be called plagiarism. Maybe I didn’t call Professor Avila. Is the author a bit unethical? 】
[After reading the latest reports, if this is the case, it is indeed not plagiarism, but just a bit unethical. 】
[I think it may be suspected of using other people's ideas, but after all, he is a professor at Peking University, so he should still have strength. 】
[Plagiarism definitely occurs, and it may be more serious, otherwise the Fields Medal winner would not accuse you without reason. After all, it is Peking University, so you cannot offend, and the Fields Medal winner will not care about the plagiarism in his paper. There is no such thing as a name. 】
[I just want to know what another person said, the top scorer in the college entrance examination. He doesn’t seem to have expressed his opinion yet. Looking at the previous rewards, Professor Avila seems to have said that he was basically responsible for the results this time? In other words, it was not Avila that Mo Kun plagiarized, but Xu Chuan? 】
[I heard from a friend that this big guy is currently doing physics experiments at the European Atomic Energy Laboratory. He also solved the mystery of the proton radius not long ago. Maybe you don’t know this yet? 】
【? ? ? Didn't he study mathematics? Why did you go to do physics experiments? 】
[The boss cultivates both physical and numerical skills. 】
[Looking up to the big guys, if only I had one-tenth of the brains of the big guys, I wouldn’t fail the exam as a line agent. 】
There are many melon-eating comments in various news reports, and plagiarism incidents in academia are quite eye-catching to ordinary netizens.
Especially when it comes to the top domestic universities and a Fields Medal winner, naturally a lot of people pay attention.
Xu Chuan doesn't have much opinion on these comments on the Internet.
The hostility online is far greater than in reality, and there are more people who blindly follow people without their own ideas.
However, overall, it can be seen from the comments that domestic tolerance for academic plagiarism is still low.
Shaking his head, Xu Chuan took out his mobile phone and booked a ticket to return to his country.
Professor Avila took action and issued accusations. As the real party and victim, he had no reason not to make his voice heard.
In foreign countries, it is still a bit difficult to make a voice heard at home.
The entry point chosen by the other party is very suitable, and it is also shameless enough. With Peking University as the background support, I am afraid that this matter will end up just like Qiu Yutian's matter, and nothing will be done.
If it weren't for his long-standing habit, it would be really difficult to kill Mo Kun completely this time.
Fortunately, his long-standing habit left a key piece of evidence in his hands. This is probably something that ‘Professor Mo’ has never thought about.
Huaguo, Peking University.
After accepting an interview with a reporter from the mobile hot news media, Mo Kun also came to the office of Tian Gang, the dean of the Institute of Science and Technology.
After all, the reputation of Peking University is involved, and the school will definitely pay attention to it.
"Teacher."
Mo Kun knocked on the door, pushed in, and greeted the figure sitting in the office respectfully.
He studied under Tian Gang, but because of his talent and because he was not focused on academics, his path in mathematics was not very smooth, and he did not make any achievements after graduation.
However, relying on Tian Gang's relationship, he was still successful at Peking University.
But after all, academia is still about academic achievements. He has been a graduate tutor for several years, and he has always wanted to be promoted to a doctoral supervisor, but he has always fallen short.
After all, he didn't have any impressive results. It was precisely because of this that he took the risk this time to plagiarize Xu Chuan's theories and achievements.
He knew the consequences of this incident breaking out and had considered all the impacts. As long as he was shameless, there wouldn't be any big problem.
As long as plagiarism is not inevitable, the matter will at best be an academic dispute, and at most it will be scolded for academic immorality.
Carrying such a reputation is completely worth it in exchange for the proof of the non-null hypothesis of the Rankin-SelbergL-function.
This is the core basic problem of the L function in the Langlands program.
With such an achievement, even if he suffers notoriety and keeps a low profile for a year or two, he will definitely be promoted to doctoral supervisor later on, and maybe even win one or two mathematics awards.
There is no hope for those abroad, but there is definitely hope for those at home. After all, the person standing behind him is Peking University.
Under the temptation of huge benefits, he chose to take risks.
Of course, he also made arrangements to directly muddy the water.
Anyway, several months have passed, and no one knows what the specific situation was at that time.
"What happened in your case? The comments from the outside world are very bad, and all walks of life have questioned the academic atmosphere of our school."
In the office, Tian Gang, who had a mole near his nose, put down the pen in his hand and looked at Mo Kun.
He still likes this student and is very respectful to him. He visits him during holidays and festivals, and his interpersonal relationships are okay, but for a long time, his mind has not been on academic pursuits.
However, everyone’s choices are different. Some people choose to concentrate on research, and some people choose to go into management. These are all understandable things.
"That's it, teacher"
Mo Kun briefly explained the cause and effect of the whole incident. Of course, he was talking about the excuse he had prepared long ago.
He still needs the support of Tian Gang and the school, and it is impossible to tell the true situation.
Anyway, no matter who you face now, just insist that he is the main communicator.
"You didn't do this well." After listening to Mo Kun's explanation, Tian Gang pondered for a moment, then asked: "Let me ask you, how much did you use the two of them in this? Do you have your own ideas? ”
Due to the relationship between master and apprentice, and the fact that he was the only two people in the office, Tian Gang didn't go around too much.
He knew that his level as a student was certainly a little bit high, but definitely not high.
The problem of the non-null hypothesis of L-function can only be scratched at most, but it is impossible to solve it.
Hearing this, Mo Kun smiled and said: "I must have used it a little bit, teacher. After all, it was communication. Mathematics communication can only exchange ideas. The main proof must be done by myself."
Mo Kun still insists on this theory. After all, several months have passed. Even if he uses Xu Chuan's data to calculate, who would know?
Tian Gang nodded, looked at himself as a student, and said slowly: "I understand, I will communicate with the school."
"In addition, what you did was indeed unethical. When the time comes, you will cooperate with the school and publicly apologize to Professor Avila, saying that you did not consider it carefully and did not include his name in the paper, and then add Professor Avila Add your name to your paper and make it one. ”
Hearing the apology and juxtaposition, Mo Kun frowned slightly, but he naturally understood what Tian Gang said.
It is indeed unethical to use other people's things, but making compensation and redress can remove the nature of this matter from the attribute of plagiarism.
As for the lack of consideration and the failure to enter the names of the communication personnel in the paper, this is countless times less severe than the immoral reputation he had thought about before.
As expected of his mentor, he considers issues more thoughtfully than he does.
After thinking about all this, Mo Kun's eyes lit up, and he said with a bit of uncontrollable excitement in his voice: "This matter is really troublesome for the teacher and the school. I will definitely work hard academically in the future and contribute to the school and the country. ”
Tian Gang nodded and said: "Okay, let's go and prepare well. This matter must be resolved as soon as possible. If it continues, it will have a great impact on the reputation of the school."
CERN, Xu Chuan booked a flight, packed his luggage, and prepared to have a good conversation with this completely shameless person after getting the evidence.
This trip back is only for a short trip, only a day or two at most, so just bring two pieces of clothing.
After all, the LHC Large Strong Particle Collider will launch a collision experiment in a week to verify his previous optimal search decay channel calculation data for the Yukawa coupling of Higgs and third-generation heavy quarks.
As soon as I closed the luggage chain, there was a knock on the door.
Xu Chuan walked over and opened the door a crack, and suddenly there was a sound from outside.
"It's me." Chen Zhengping's voice came from outside, and Xu Chuan unlocked the safety chain.
This can be regarded as a little habit of his. For safety reasons, he habitually puts a safety chain on the hotel room door.
"Teacher, why are you here?"
Xu Chuan opened the door and welcomed Chen Zhengping in.
"Are you packing your things to go back to China?" After entering, Chen Zhengping saw the suitcase in the room at a glance.
Xu Chuan nodded and said: "Well, something happened in the country. I have to go back. I will be back within a week."
"Because Mo Kun plagiarized you and that Professor Avila?" Chen Zhengping asked directly.
"Teacher, do you know?" Xu Chuan asked, and then suddenly realized that it was normal for Chen Zhengping to know. After all, this matter is quite a big deal now.
"The school called me and told me about this; what is the situation?"
Xu Chuan briefly explained, and Chen Zhengping frowned and said, "You should have told me about this first. You are a student of Nanjing University. If something like this happens, the school will definitely help."
"It will be difficult for you alone, even with Professor Avila, to face Peking University."
After a pause, Chen Zhengping sighed, and then said: "Forget it, it's too late to say this now. Which flight did you buy? I'll go back with you."
