Chapter 1016

On the morning of August 3.

The sky above St. Petersburg is clear.

The conference hall of clincia hotel is full of people.

Even though the conference hall is spacious enough, because there are so many people present, plus two security checks at the door, the people who enter the conference hall are still shoulder to shoulder, and the crowded corridor can hardly contain the place where they can rest.

As in the past, in accordance with the Convention, Professor Sen Chongwen, chairman of the Organizing Committee of the general assembly and Professor sivayana, chairman of the International Mathematical Union, respectively stood in front of the stage and delivered opening speeches. He welcomed scholars from all over the country to visit here and thanked Russia and St. Petersburg for their support for the cause of mathematics.

Then, the whole conference, with everyone's expectation, ushered in the most exciting awarding link.

This link can be said to be the main part of the whole conference, or even many people came to it.

The four categories of awards to be awarded almost mark the highest honor of the whole mathematics field. It can be said that if you can get one of them, the mathematics road of the winner in the next life will be smooth.

Especially the fields prize.

Compared with the life-long achievement award with comforting nature and ending the academic career, the fields award, which can only be awarded under 40 years old, can be said to be the crown in the eyes of countless mathematicians.

Most people value hard work, but everyone is eager to be a genius.

Especially in the field of mathematics, which belongs to genius.

The boat in the crowd can be heard clearly, and the people sitting next to it are discussing fiercely, who is likely to win the supreme honor.

"Jody Williamson, the youngest academician of mathematics in Australia, established a pure algebraic Hodge's theory about polynomial rings, and successfully proved kazhdan Lusztig's conjecture about Cauchy group. He didn't get the last one, but this one should be his."

“…… Malina vyazovska should also have the opportunity to extend the three-dimensional sphere accumulation problem to 8 and 24 dimensions in the research of discrete geometry, and win the clay Research Award, larukin award and European combinatorics award in 2017 with these researches. My tutor describes her with two words of genius and inconceivable. She is 38 years old this year. If she doesn't win any more prizes There's no chance. "

"Malina vyazovska's research is really excellent, but the direction of discrete geometry is too cold, and her tutor is not a famous scholar. By contrast, I prefer another Ukrainian mathematician, and a woman. "

"Who?"

"The certifier of the Koku conjecture, Vera puyoi, winner of the last KOL number theory award, ramanugin award and the European Mathematical Society Award. Whether it's research or mentoring, it's from Princeton. Even if the prize committee doesn't consider her this time, it must be her next time. "

"Damn it, why does the fields award come out in four years? There are too many winners. "

"Because we have more hair, there is no gold content. What we have to choose is really outstanding scholars who can change the future face of the mathematical world..."

Keen to catch the last sentence, Lu Zhou's face showed a surprised expression.

Where he didn't know, so many things happened, and she didn't tell him.

Although understanding that she may want to surprise herself, or that it is not worth mentioning at all, there is still a little bit of loss for the land boat that I know this.

Don't want to live up to the expectations of the participants, Professor Sen Chongwen didn't let people wait for a long time, stood up his speech, pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and soon entered the award process.

"First of all, the Gauss prize. I know you've been waiting a long time."

In the moment of this sentence.

The huge meeting place was as quiet as if it had been silenced.

After looking around the conference hall, Professor Sen Chongwen spoke slowly in a steady and solemn tone.

"We often say that mathematics is the foundation of natural science and applied science, and its boundary determines our understanding of the universe and ourselves. However, in the research of Applied Science, there are few scholars who can make a comprehensive understanding of the methods of higher mathematics and skillfully use those tools to solve the major issues about our future. "

"I can narrate his story in a whole day, or not necessarily finish it..."

The participants listened attentively, as did the boats.

However, at this time, there was a discordant complaint.

“…… Oh, Shetter, I've already guessed who it is. Give it to him now! "

Soon, someone chimed in.

"Yes, yes, the most unsuspecting Gauss prize. Hurry to the next one."

Lu Zhou: "..."

MMP！I can't cooperate with you. Are you going to say that later?

It's not easy to brew a sense of surprise for a moment!

Lu Zhou turned to see who was arranging himself, but there were so many people here. Looking at the head, he couldn't tell who said those two words.

On stage, Professor Sen Chongwen continued.

“…… As he said, our science is changing the world, and mathematics will change our science! "

"The winner is -"

"land boat!"

There was a shower of applause.

Standing up in a clap of applause, I took a deep breath in the boat. Before walking steadily to the stage, I took the medal from Professor Sen Chongwen.

The old professor nodded with a friendly smile as he clapped his right hand on the arm of Lu Zhou.

"Congratulations, young scholar, we meet again."

Although applied science has no arrangement in the field of mathematics, the burbagi school, which occupies a higher discourse power in the field of mathematics, takes the "useless" and "pure" of mathematics as its glory. Scholars like hardy and grotengdick have publicly expressed the view that mathematics is great because of its purity.

But in any case, applied science is indeed a part of mathematics, and even if hardy and grotendic pursue the "glorious isolation" of scholars, their theories are finally reflected in other disciplines.

The Gauss prize exists to reward such scholars.

"Thank you, and I'm glad to see you again," Lu continued with a smile, shaking hands with the old scholar. "I'm sure we'll see each other again."

Hearing this, Professor Sen Chongwen was obviously stunned for a moment, then said with a smile.

"You mean In such a situation? It's a pity that we don't have more medals to give you before you are seventy, but when you are seventy, I'm afraid I'm not in the world. "

Lu Zhou: "isn't there another revati award?"

Professor Sen Chongwen gave a dry cough: " Please give other people who love mathematics a chance. Professor Lu, please go down. "

Lu Zhou: "..."

Chen provincial mathematics award is a lifetime achievement, not yet ready to die. However, Lu Zhou felt that he had some hope in commending the Neverland prize for Mathematics Science in computers. There is also the livarati Award for the science popularization of mathematics. I have a play.

He remembers how many primary schools did the Turks who won the award last time seem to have built in remote mountainous areas (desert areas)?

His contribution to mathematics science popularization is not only several primary schools, why can't he participate in the award?

Although he didn't really care about the medal, Lu Zhou still had some problems in mind.

After getting off the stage, he sat in the front row of the Gauss prize winner's seat, quietly waiting for the award ceremony to continue.

The next two awards are Chen provincial mathematics award and livarati award. The former is a lifelong achievement, while the latter is an award for "ordinary people" who have made outstanding contributions to science popularization.

The atmosphere in the venue was pushed to Gao Chao by waves, especially when the medal ceremony of the fields award started, the warm atmosphere reached the peak.

Sitting in the front row, you can even feel the land boat with its back to the venue. Those two pairs of eyes focused on the stage seem to be able to light something

In the face of all the expectations, Professor Sen Chongwen continued to speak.

Almost as soon as the professor opened his mouth and sat in the front row of the boat, the whole man froze.

"Number theory is an ancient subject, its history almost runs through the whole history of mathematics, and those classic propositions that have been solved and have not been solved can also be said to be the origin of all the knowledge we have mastered so far."

"Very few people can make truly outstanding achievements in this field, and the mountains are daunting, except for those brave men who are burning with eyes and have firm faith."

“…… By constructing an ingenious transcendental integral function, she proves that there exists an integral function H (z), and {G ^ OK (Z0)} ∞ / k = 1 converges to 1, thus proving the establishment of the angular Valley conjecture which has puzzled us for many years, and improving the theory of group construction. "

"The first winner of the fields prize was Professor Willa puyoy from Princeton University!"

Thunderous applause, like a storm, pounded the eardrum of the boat, and made his whole body disordered in the wind.

Vera?

It's not that he didn't think about the possibility.

But all of this is so sudden!

There is no doubt that she is an excellent scholar. There is no problem that the number theory research results can be awarded points when participating in such awards, but she is too young anyway.

If Lu Zhou remembers correctly, she got her Ph.D. when she left Princeton. At that time, she was only 22 years old.Now four years later, she is only 26

Of course, it's not just the news that Vera won the prize that really caught the boat off guard.

Almost at the same time, a line of light blue text appeared in his vision.

[congratulations to the host, unlock hidden achievements! ]

[please go to system space to check your reward! ]

(three more! The plot has basically entered the middle stage. I will speed up the rhythm in the later stage. In addition, Xueba's comics have been scheduled for summer vacation, and we will meet soon)
