The familiar figure obviously also discovered Chen Zhou.

Walking up to Chen Zhou with a smile on his face.

Chen Zhou greeted politely: "Professor Zhang, what a coincidence." Are you visiting the stalls too?"

Zhang Shouwu looked around, these people really looked like they were setting up a stall.

Laughing softly, he said, "Chen Zhou, you're finally here." ”

Hearing this, Chen Zhou quipped: "Professor Zhang, it hasn't been long since we separated?"

"You kid, you know what I'm talking about. Zhang Shouwu said with a smile.

Chen Zhou smiled and said, "Let's talk while walking?"

Zhang Shouwu thought about it, today's first report meeting was also about number theory, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's go." ”

In the auditorium, there were not many people.

Chen Zhou and Zhang Shouwu found a position in the middle and waited for the start of the report meeting.

"Chen Zhou. Zhang Shouwu looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.

Chen Zhou couldn't help but smile: "Professor Zhang, we are so familiar, you can say anything." ”

"Are you really thinking about coming to Princeton?" Zhang Shouwu once again extended an invitation to Chen Zhou.

Although the two invitations on the previous Qiu Race were rejected by Chen Zhou.

But Zhang Shouwu really hopes that Chen Zhou can come to Princeton and continue to study mathematics.

Princeton is undoubtedly the mathematical center of the current world.

Princeton University also has some of the best mathematics departments in the world.

In a sense, Princeton also has a legacy of mathematics.

Because the establishment of the World Center of Mathematics in Princeton was inherited from the Göttingen School.

As we all know, the Göttingen School is the school that has long dominated the development of mathematical sciences in the world.

The Göttingen School is also a truly outstanding school.

If it weren't for the war, probably the world's center of mathematics would still be in Europe.

Gauss, the prince of mathematics, began the beginning of the Göttingen school of mathematics, and he took modern mathematics to a new level.

Later, Riemann, Dirichlet and Jacobi inherited Gauss's work and made contributions in the fields of algebra, geometry, number theory, and analysis.

Klein and Hilbert brought the Göttingen School of Mathematics into its heyday, and the University of Göttingen became an international center for mathematical research and education.

People like von Neumann, Weyl, and Atin all came from the Göttingen School.

Including Albert Einstein, who also studied at the University of Göttingen.

However, as the war progressed, talent was transferred.

If we make a partial list of mathematicians and physicists who have taken refuge in the United States from Germany, including Austria and Hungary, we can see a shift in talent.

With Weyl and von Neumann as professors at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, Curant taught at New York University and founded the world-renowned Institute for Applied Mathematics.

The United States was the world leader in mathematics, and Princeton replaced Göttingen as the center of world mathematics until today.

Like Faltins, Deligne, and Langlands, who helped Chen Zhou review the manuscript this time, are all professors at Princeton.

"Maybe I'm better ...... Toss, right?" Chen Zhou thought as he said, "I like more challenges, not just in math!"

Zhang Shouwu was stunned, he didn't expect Chen Zhou to say such a reason.

But this ...... Can't Princeton give you a challenge?

"But Princeton's other disciplines are no weaker than MIT's. I know you also minored in physics, and I can tell you with certainty that Princeton's physics department is definitely better than MIT!" Zhang Shouwu's tone was a little excited.

Chen Zhou's talent in number theory is definitely worth his further study at Princeton!

He didn't want Chen Zhou to give up this talent.

And, even if you want to do physics at the same time, then Princeton should be your first choice?

There is no other reason, just one reason.

This is the school where Einstein worked, so I asked you if you were enough?

Chen Zhou is a little big, the purpose of this Professor Zhang today is to ...... Cut the ground from under somebody's feet?

But this is MIT?

Moreover, Chen Zhou himself feels that for him, the difference between MIT and Princeton is not very big.

If it is really purely about honor, MIT has produced 97 Nobel Prize winners, 8 Fields Medal winners, and 26 Turing Award winners.

Princeton, on the other hand, has produced 68 Nobel Prize winners, 15 Fields Medal winners, and 14 Turing Award winners.

If you look at it this way, MIT is strong in science and Princeton is strong in math?

Of course, this is just a comparison of the number of awards.

Like every Nobel laureate, the contributions of each Nobel laureate are not comparable with a single award.

MIT and Princeton should not be compared on the basis of honors alone.

"That ......" Chen Zhou glanced at the speaker on the stage, who was about to start, and said to Zhang Shouwu, "Professor Zhang, let me think about it again." ”

Zhang Shouwu glanced at Chen Zhou and sighed lightly: "Okay, then you think about it, I still sincerely hope that you can come to Princeton!"

"Hmm. Chen Zhou nodded and looked at the podium.

This is a young mathematician in his 40s, and his talk will focus on L-function problems in the field of number theory.

In general, for the mathematical object X, it is possible to define a complex sequence of {λx(n)}n=1→∞.

Like L(s,X)=n=1→∞∑λx(n)/n^s,Rs?? 1。

And with the Dirichlet series of Euler's product, it can be called the L-function with respect to X.

According to Professor Langlands' report at the International Congress of Mathematicians, there are three main parts to studying an L-function.

They are analytical extension, the distribution of zero points, and the values of special points.

There are so many conjectures involved.

Like the Artin conjecture, the Riemann conjecture, the BSD conjecture, and so on.

The present presenter's research is based on the assumption of the Riemann conjecture to study the distribution of the imaginary part of the zero point.

It's not the style that Chen Zhou likes, but it doesn't prevent him from listening to it.

The stones of other mountains can be used to attack jade.

After the first half of his freshman year, Chen Zhou didn't attend any classes.

This report meeting gave him some feeling of listening to the lecture.

It's just that Chen Zhou is strange that this report meeting has begun, why are so many people here?

Are all academic conferences so open now?

How does it feel that people don't pay attention to it?

Zhang Shouwu saw that Chen Zhou was listening carefully, and couldn't help but sigh again, this matter should be left to his teacher, Professor Faltins.

Zhang Shouwu also turned his attention to the reporter on the stage.

The young professor on the stage thought that there would be many bigwigs.

It turned out that the seats under the stage were not full.

He wasn't much frustrated, but relieved.

In this case, the QA link is simple.

Obviously, his tone gradually relaxed, and the speed of his speech increased a lot.

Just when Chen Zhou and the others were listening carefully, a person quietly approached them.
