"Uh...... Should the other party be a respectable opponent?"

Chen Zhou thought about it, but he still didn't think about how to reply to this email.

Chen Zhou actually wanted to tell the other party that he already knew who the winners were.

It can be taken into account that the judging committee of the Kohl Number Theory Award has not yet been officially announced.

And James Maynard should still have some hope.

Therefore, Chen Zhou was a little unbearable.

In case the news ends up making a fuss, then he will really be embarrassed to death.

In the end, Chen Zhou started the mode of business blowing each other.

If you really want to say that the other side is a respectable opponent, it is not wrong.

The results of James Maynard's diphantom approach are indeed important enough.

It is worth Chen Zhou's wave of business blowing.

In addition, there is another point that Chen Zhou finds James Maynard interesting.

James Maynard was born in a family with a strong sense of humanity, but he had a soft spot for mathematics.

In the subsequent study, he also showed a little "unsociable".

Some media reported that in a physics test, it was stipulated that if the calculation process was not given, even if the answer was all right, it would only be one-third of the full score.

In protest, James Maynard wrote only the answers to all the questions.

And these answers are all correct.

However, he scored less than half of the points.

This is true not only in terms of academics, but also in academic research.

When confronted with those interesting questions, James Maynard's first reaction was "why not try?"

Even those problems are difficult to solve in the eyes of the academic community.

But in his case, it was not a reason to stumble.

When he was advancing the proof of the twin prime conjecture, James Maynard's mentor warned him: "I'm sure you can't solve this problem, so you don't have to go all out." ”

But this is the opposite of James Maynard's life credo of "do nothing, never stop".

So, in the face of his mentor's admonition, the young rebellious mathematician just shrugged his shoulders.

Then, devote yourself to the study of mathematics.

The final result was obviously completely beyond the "expectations" of James Maynard's mentor.

That's what Chen Zhou found interesting about the young mathematician.

Speaking of which, James Maynard and Chen Zhou themselves are also a bit similar.

That is, the right one, the plan made.

It will be strictly enforced.

As for the voices of the outside world, they will be left behind.

Therefore, a good mathematician needs to have a dead brain.

Thinking of this, Chen Zhou thought of Professor Zhang Yitang again.

This old man has been studying the twin prime conjecture for decades.

Then, with a blockbuster, he became a sweeping monk in the world of mathematics.

After the business exchange email was returned to James Maynard, Chen Zhou exited the mailbox and began to search for the prize money of the Cole Number Theory Award.

This, in fact, Zhang Yitang has the most right to speak.

It's just that Chen Zhou didn't plan to ask so blatantly.

He will also look embarrassed.

But Chen Zhou checked for a while and found that the information on the Internet was really mixed.

There are those who say a lot, and there are those who say little.

There are hundreds of thousands of dollars, and there are also tens of thousands of dollars.

If there is less, there will be less pitiful.

At the least, it's only $5,000.

For this one, Chen Zhou automatically filtered it.

How is it possible that such a grand prize, or the Cole Number Theory Prize, which is known as the highest award in the field of number theory, is only worth 5,000 US dollars?

It's just a joke......

If this is far away, you will receive a prize back and forth, plus a little overhead.

The $5,000 bonus is not enough to cover my expenses......

Anyway, Chen Zhou didn't believe it.

Chen Zhou thinks that according to Yao Tongtong, no matter how this drops, it has to start with 100,000, right?

In the face of such mixed information, Chen Zhou couldn't distinguish the truth from the false.

This is not like a mathematical problem, Chen Zhou can deduce it by himself, and it is easy to judge right or wrong.

Therefore, Chen Zhou simply didn't check, and then patiently left himself a sense of expectation.

Otherwise, when it comes time to claim the prize, everything will be too boring.

Closing the browser, Chen Zhou began to return to his own rhythm.

The Kohl Number Theory Award is just a few small accidents in life.

Or rather, some little concoctions.

For Chen Zhou, the essence of life is learning.

Therefore, the research of Gochai, the research of the rubber ball topic.

and the task assigned by Professor Atin this afternoon.

is what Chen Zhou is mainly concerned about now.

The scratch paper, the book of mistakes, and the materials given by Professor Atin were all stacked on the desk.

Speaking of which, the general graduate students will learn or encounter in the direction of algebra.

The main ones are Galois theory and domain theory, modulo theory and category theory, ring theory and representation theory, commutative algebra, and cohomology algebra.

And what Chen Zhou is watching now is this.

It's just that it's different from ordinary graduate students.

Whether it is Professor Atting's requirements for Chen Zhou, or Chen Zhou's requirements for himself, they far exceed the depth of ordinary graduate students.

After this lecture, Chen Zhou only felt that his time seemed to be more nervous.

After all, the content of algebraic geometry was fought for by himself.

Time, day by day.

Yang Yiyi has followed Professor Rainer Weiss to LIGO to participate in specific research.

Chen Zhou was left alone, living a self-disciplined and extremely fulfilling life at MIT.

A week later, it was time for Professor Atin to request.

Regarding the research summary of the study of non-exchange rings from a geometric point of view, Chen Zhou had to hand it in.

Chen Zhou glanced at the research summary he had printed out and shook his head slightly, this was the first time he had handed in his homework since his freshman year.

After communicating with Professor Atin on the phone about the time and place, Chen Zhou took the research summary he had written and went out to find him.

Although Chen Zhou has only been to Professor Ting's office once, he is no stranger to the location.

This is mainly due to the daily after-dinner walk with Yang Yiyi.

The two of them walked around almost all of the MIT campuses.

If you really want to say that it is a completely unfamiliar place, it may be the inside of every building.

Anyway, the road outside, Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi are not strangers at all.

Familiar with the way, Chen Zhou came to Professor Artin's office.

Chen Zhou knocked politely on the door, and only after getting Professor Ting's permission did he push open the door and walk in.

As in the first meeting, the old man with gray hair.

At the moment, I am sitting at the desk looking at the information.

Raising his head slightly, he looked at Chen Zhou who walked in.

Professor Atin smiled and stretched out his hand: "In a week's time, let me see how your homework is done." ”

Chen Zhou took out a printed research summary from his backpack and handed it to Professor Artin.
