Chapter 931

For most journals, editors do not necessarily have strong academic ability. They are mainly responsible for checking the paper format and the number of words, and then contact the professional reviewers for the reviewed articles, and decide whether the papers can pass the review according to the reviewers' opinions.

However, this is only for most journals.

Like the annual journal of mathematics, a journal founded by Princeton, a top school in mathematics, the editor in chief of the editorial department is generally the big bull in academia.

For example, Peter sanak, former editor in chief, is a great scholar in the field of number theory, and the winner of the 14-year Wolff mathematics award, a lifetime achievement award.

As the third editor in chief of Professor Peter sanak, Professor Frix, though a little less famous, is a rising scholar in recent years, but his ability is beyond doubt. If it is not for the age of over 40, with its research results in the field of differential manifold, there is little hope to compete for the fields of fields.

Of course, the reason why mathematics annual chose him as its editor in chief is not only because of his academic ability, but also because of another factor.

Because the research of controllable fusion is very hot all over the world, the research of plasma physics is also very hot. However, due to the remarkable effect of "l-manifold" in solving the NS equation and plasma turbulence problems a few years ago, in recent years, the scientific research investment of various countries in the field of mathematics has increased the resource inclination of partial differential equation and differential manifold, and encouraged domestic scholars to enter these fields.

Although the annual journal of mathematics rarely keeps up with the hot spots, since Professor Lu's century report on NS equation, the whole field of partial differential equation and differential manifold has not produced any outstanding achievements, just as the whole research direction of Reiki has been absorbed by Professor Lu alone.

Therefore, Professor Frix is chosen as the editor in chief and the board of directors of the annual journal of mathematics. The consideration is made to support the research directions of partial differential equations and differential manifolds.

Generally speaking, when the editor arranges the manuscript, he has a certain tendency for the field of his research

Princeton.

The editorial department of the annual journal of mathematics.

Professor Frix, who is taking over the work from the last editor, has moved his office to the editorial department with his students, and is busy with the mountain of work.

Although the editor in chief of the mathematics annual usually doesn't take this job seriously, FraX is different. Now he can only be regarded as a calf at most, especially in Princeton, where there is no sense of existence.

Others may not care about the academic qualifications of being the editor in chief of the annual journal of mathematics, but they cannot. Therefore, he attaches great importance to this job, even to a certain extent, he has put aside the topic he is doing.

Sitting in front of the computer filled with documents, a hairy doctoral student took a sip of coffee, stared at the screen and suddenly stared, coughing like choking.

“…… Professor, cough! Your email, received a letter of contribution! "

Being busy with the task at hand, Professor Frix didn't have time to look up at it at all. He replied casually, "print it out for me, and I'll take time to have a look when I'm free."

"But The contributor is Lu Zhou. "

The hand that is pounding the keyboard stops abruptly. Professor FraX stands up from the chair with a miso and walks towards the desk of the doctoral student.

"Give me the computer!"

"OK, ok..."

Before reaching the computer, FraX checked every letter in his email address to make sure that the manuscript was actually delivered by Professor Lu, and then downloaded the PDF file attached to the email with great interest.

"Let me see what interesting results Professor Lu has made..."

One of the most direct benefits of being an editor of a well-known journal is that you can know at the first time what amazing research results those big bulls have made.

With expectation, Professor FraX opened the paper that had just been downloaded.

However, when he saw the content of the summary, his eyes turned from previous excitement to a little disappointment.

Noticing the change of the tutor's expression, Dr. curly hair asked in a low voice, "what's the matter?"

"It's not a new research achievement, it's just a supplement to the theory of hyperelliptic curve analysis," Professor Frix, who has read the abstract, shook his head and continued with some disappointment. "It's a bit of a stir fry, at least not a prominent achievement."

The doctor continued, "well Shall we reject the manuscript? "

"No," he continued, shaking his head, "if it's not long enough, and it's really important enough, it can be written In a word, the trouble should be left to the reviewer to worry about. It's too offensive to kill the manuscript in the process other than peer review Well, you help me to print out the paper, and I'll think about it more carefully. ""Good professor."

The printer whined.

Soon the paper was printed on paper.

He took the paper with oil temperature and went back to his seat. Professor Frix, drinking coffee, looked up the main part of the paper with his legs up.

To be honest, after reading the abstract part, in fact, he did not have much expectation for the research results in this paper.

However, when he saw the third page, his mouth suddenly gave out a light Yi.

“…… When n is greater than 2, two n-dimensional complex completely intersect x ^ n (d), x ^ n (d ') differential homeomorphisms, if and only if their Euler number, total number and Pontrjagin class are equal... "

“…… How can I look so familiar with this inference? "

It's not the eye familiarity in the intuitive sense, but the eye familiarity in the understanding sense.

Like this inference, he had seen another representation of it in that place

When he did not see the quotation mark nearby, Professor Frix began to wonder. Then he sat up from his chair, picked up a ballpoint pen and counted several strokes on the draft paper beside him.

However, he just walked two lines on the paper, and then stopped there.

“……”

This, this line of expression!

Is it

The pupils contracted slightly, then zoomed in, and Professor Frix rose abruptly from his seat.

"Sullivan guess!"

This conjecture is a conjecture made by Prof. Sullivan when he studied the classification of simply connected manifolds and rational homotopy manifolds under limited uncertainty. It belongs to the classification problem of a class of smooth manifolds.

At the same time, it is also one of the core problems in differential topology!

If you don't know differential topology, it's normal that you haven't heard of this conjecture. After all, as a branch of mathematics, this conjecture is very important for people who are engaged in this field, but it's far from well-known.

And because of the difficulty, there are not many people studying this subject. Even the Mavericks in the field of differential topology can't see that this thing is actually just another form of expression.

However, it's a little terrifying that we don't know this conjecture at all, or even the branch of differential topology, and we can make such research results

Judging from the fact that the inference is not marked with quotations, it is obvious that Professor Lu did not know that the inference he wrote down in his paper was actually another expression of Sullivan's conjecture

At this point, Professor FraX's face was full of shock, and even his fingers were shaking.

Looking at the tutor who suddenly stood up and froze there, and Dr. curly hair, who was sitting at the desk nearby, thought something had happened, he quickly asked, "what's the matter, professor?"

I don't know if I heard it or didn't hear my students' questions at all.

His eyes were fixed on the paper, murmured professor Frix, in an excited voice.

"God..."

"We found the treasure!"
