Chapter 1090

A suburb of St. Petersburg on the fontanca canal.

An old man in a black windbreaker sat on a bench on the side of the road and looked at his watch as if waiting for something.

At this time, two young people, about 17 or 18 years old, with baseball caps, clapped basketball and walked by him. It seemed that they were talking about something.

"Have you heard? Virtual reality system is sealed! "

"I heard about it. It's in Jinling, isn't it! I really want to go. "

"Don't think about it. There's no chance for our little transparency without fans or topics. I don't believe that they have no internal qualification. Have you seen the actual situation of James? He said in the live YouTube that if the virtual reality technology of star technology is the same as that in Sao, he will eat the keyboard. "

"Ha ha, what's the result?"

"I don't know, but I heard that after he returned from China, he ordered a chocolate keyboard from a cake shop."

"Hahahaha!"

The air is filled with a pleasant atmosphere, and the two young people's laughter is gradually far away.

Professor fortings took a look at their backs, his eyebrows raised a little.

Jinling?

I didn't expect to hear a familiar word in this foreign country.

Thinking of the man, there was a look of nostalgia on his face.

As for virtual reality and Youtube, he ignored them.

From the beginning of the smart machine, these old directors have begun to lose pace with the age of the young people. They will be familiar with something more fashionable than the smart machine. I'm afraid that even if he has this idea, he won't have the energy to do it.

At this time, a middle-aged man with a beard and hair that are not very trimmed, and a shopping bag full of cheap smell on his body, stopped at the bench and said in an unexpected tone.

"You're really here."

Looking up at this, he said with a smile.

"Well, what's the problem?"

"No, I just feel strange. I didn't expect that the famous Mr. fortings would come in person..."

A face appeared from the hill high black bread in his arms. Perelman took a key out of his pocket with his free right hand and threw it on his hand. "My house is a bit messy, I hope you don't mind. Please open the door soon You see, too. I can't make it. "

"You're welcome," faltins nodded. "Do you want me to share it with you?"

Perelman shook his head and refused.

"No, I'm not going to ask an old man to help me with my things."

A group of people walked into the neighborhood, and soon came to an apartment building which looked very cheap.

No one would have thought that the famous mathematician in the world lived in such a single apartment of no more than 20 square meters. The neighbors were either the Russian aunt who lived on pension or the unemployed who were waiting for work at home.

but Perelman did not make complaints about their position.

He gave up the one million dollar Millennium puzzle prize and was once so hard up that he had to rely on his mother's retirement money to buy bread. In fact, he had repeatedly tangled up problems about ideal and reality, so he chose to fade out of the mathematical world and study mathematics with the method that people studied mathematics before the 19th century -

that is, to lock himself up.

In a sense, he is similar to a land boat.

The only difference is that Lu Zhou will publish any periodical results that are worth publishing, even if he is too lazy to contribute, he will hang a preprint, and he has not published his research results for a long time.

Put the food in the kitchen, Perelman wiped his hands on the clothes, then folded back into the crowded living room. When he was about to ask Professor fortings if he needed a cup of tea or water, he noticed the paper on the table.

There was a clear expression of interest on his face. He went forward to pick it up and flipped through two pages.

"This is..."

"On the study of the theory of motion," Professor Fieldings took a thermos cup out of the wide windbreaker, as if it had been prepared for a long time, and poured himself a cup of hot water. "The author of the paper put forward a very interesting idea, which is to combine all the homology theories into an abstract geometric object."

"Crazy ideas," Perelman said concisely

Fartins: Yes

Perelman: grand unified theory

Fartins: Yes

"I didn't expect such interesting scholars in the world Wait a minute, "after reading the abstract, Perelman felt more familiar with the passage and frowned," this paper I always feel a little familiar. "

A rare smile appeared on the serious face of falcines."You seem to have found out."

Perelman asked tentatively, "land boat?"

Faltins nodded and said a third time.

"Yes."

After a sip of hot water and a pause, he continued, "about three days ago, he contributed this paper to the invention of mathematics. I'm not sure what he agreed with Professor Holden, Secretary General of the International Federation of mathematicians. This is probably his first contribution to the invention of mathematics, but it's not the point. "

"The point is that he actually solved a weak form of grotengdick's standard conjecture, and solved the graded structure of motive corresponding to the cohomology ring."

"That's right," he nodded approvingly. "Sure enough, I'm right. It's impossible to verify that you are the reviewer of this paper."

Looking at the paper in his hand, Perelman recovered his expressionless appearance.

"You came to Russia to look for me. I'm sure you didn't want to find a reviewer for the invention of mathematics. What's more, you have my email, which can be explained clearly in one email. "

"Of course, I'm not bored enough to take a plane for such a small thing," he nodded

Let's put down the paper. Perelman didn't speak, just looked at him quietly and waited for him to continue.

There is no circumlocution, said Professor fortings directly.

"Come to the University of Bonn."

Perelman's answer was equally direct and even blunt.

"I refuse."

As if he had not been heard, Professor fortings continued.

"The field of mathematics has come to a critical crossroads. The Holy Grail from Archimedes era to today is in front of us. Numbers and geometry are about to be combined in abstract form. Until now, our achievements in algebra and geometry are connected in a straight line. Maybe algebra and geometry will be unified tomorrow, and I'm not surprised at all, but if I'm not lucky, maybe this problem will not be solved until the next century. "

Perelman muttered, "isn't the land boat studying this subject? Just let him do it. So far I haven't seen the problem he can't solve. "

"That's not necessarily true. Seven years ago, he found the abnormality on the 750 GeV characteristic peak that summer. Up to now, he can't give a good explanation to physics, and I heard from my old friends that most people took it as a joke."

Perelman: "physics is physics, mathematics is mathematics."

"Yes, physics is physics," said Professor fortings. "However, the point is not this, but to complete the work of carrying forward the past and opening up the future, not his task alone."

"We can't put all our expectations for the future on him alone. Without our own thinking, our scholarship will never prosper."

Said the old man, looking at Perelman carefully, in a sincere tone.

"The burbagi school needs your help, and the entire mathematical community needs your strength."

"At my age, many things are already out of reach. I urge you to come out of here and contribute to the cause you are passionate about."

Looking down at the paper on the table, Perelman pondered for a long time.

"I think about it."

As he said this, he took the paper from the table and shook it gently.

"At least, when I finish reading this paper."
