Chapter 475: Mathematicians' Conference
After Tao Zhexuan finished speaking, Zhang Yitang was already looking at him with a puzzled expression.
What does this mean?
Could it be that Chen Zhou, who turned to study algebraic geometry puzzles halfway through, has solved a mathematical problem in the field of algebraic geometry?
Tao Zhexuan, who seemed to know what Zhang Yitang would think, had formed a tacit understanding, and immediately gave him the answer.
Looking at Chen Zhou, who was smiling but did not speak, Tao Zhexuan continued: "Originally, I wondered who suddenly solved this difficult problem that has plagued the mathematical community for decades, but now I know that it is you, I am not surprised, after all, this is your rhythm......"
"Speaking of which, this is a mathematical problem left behind by Professor Emile Artin, and you are now a student of Professor Michael Artin, and it is a good story that you finally solved this problem......"
"Moreover, the solution of this problem, both in the field of algebra and in the role played by the Langlands Program, is of great ......"
Tao Zhexuan said something, not only explained the ins and outs of this problem, but also praised Chen Zhou again.
Chen Zhou was a little embarrassed to hear it.
And Zhang Yitang, who also listened to Tao Zhexuan's narration, looked at Chen Zhou with a shocked face.
Although Zhang Yitang knows the Galois group, he also knows the Atin L function.
But he didn't know much about the problem in Tao Zhexuan's mouth.
He is a scholar who focuses solely on the twin prime conjecture.
In addition to the field of number theory, to be specific, it is the field of study of the problem of prime number intervals.
In other fields of mathematics, Zhang Yitang has rarely set foot in.
Therefore, he was not sure at the beginning what kind of significance and role Chen Zhou had solved in this problem.
But Tao Zhexuan's words made him completely understand.
Shocked, Zhang Yitang could only sigh helplessly, he was really old.
But at the same time, he also felt the growth speed of young people in front of him.
Zhang Yitang, who is also a profound researcher in the field of number theory, naturally has a deeper understanding.
Starting from the hail conjecture to the Jebov conjecture, Chen Zhou has grown too much and grown too fast.
Sighing softly, Zhang Yitang asked, "You said that you switched to the field of algebraic geometry in order to improve the distribution deconstruction method?"
Chen Zhou nodded lightly: "Yes, the current development of the distribution deconstruction method cannot solve the Goldbach conjecture, so I want to find a breakthrough from other aspects......
After a pause, Chen Zhou said: "No matter from which point of view, the solution of Goldbach's conjecture requires innovation. ”
When Zhang Yitang heard this, he also nodded and stopped talking.
Tao Zhexuan said with a smile at this time: "But you are a mistake, but you have given a big gift to the field of algebraic geometry......
Chen Zhou laughed softly: "It's not a big gift, the solution of this problem is just to provide a new idea for mathematicians......
Tao Zhexuan obviously disagreed with Chen Zhou's idea, and he said to Chen Zhou: "If you say this in front of Professor Langlands, I bet he will definitely discuss it with you." ”
"Your solution to this problem not only provides mathematicians with a new way of thinking, but also many problems of the Langlands program may find their own answers to this problem with the benefit of this problem. ”
Chen Zhou smiled: "To be honest, I really want to discuss it with Professor Langlands face to face now......"
Tao Zhexuan was curious: "Why?"
Chen Zhou: "Let's share the research experience of the Langlands Program......
Hearing this, Tao Zhexuan was speechless.
Good guys, if this is still called halfway to the field of algebraic geometry, then how should those mathematicians who specialize in algebraic geometry live?
A researcher is not as good as a halfway monk?
Halfway to the monk, not only solved the mathematical problems that have plagued the mathematical community for decades, but now he has studied the Langlands program in depth, and wants to learn from Professor Langlands himself?
Tao Zhexuan thought of the scenarios that might appear in the mathematical community after the publication of that paper.
What's even more interesting is if Chen Zhou can solve the Goldbach conjecture next year.
Does that tell everyone that he can solve problems not only in number theory, but also in algebraic geometry?
In other words, Chen Zhou will become an absolute rising star in mathematics.
Thinking of this, Tao Zhexuan subconsciously glanced at Chen Zhou, who was the co-pilot in the front row.
The side faces of young people always represent hope and the future.
The taxi stopped in front of the hotel.
Not long after Chen Zhou and the three got out of the car, another taxi stopped.
As soon as Zhang Shouwu opened the car door, he planned to run for the three of them.
As a result, before he took a step, the voice of the taxi driver had already come: "This big brother, don't go yet, you haven't paid for the car yet?"
Zhang Shouwu's momentum was suddenly weak, and while saying "I'm sorry", he paid for the taxi fare.
This scene happened to be seen by the three Chen Zhou, who turned around because of the voice, and the three of them couldn't help laughing.
At this moment, Zhang Shouwu really has no momentum at all.
This hotel is reserved for every invited mathematician at the conference of mathematicians, and they can stay for free.
How to say it, the Chinese have a face.
Now that the tone has been set for the joint event, we also plan to make this mathematician conference a grand event that truly belongs to China and the Chinese people.
Naturally, you can't lose face.
After two nights at the hotel, it was February 14th.
In the early morning, the streets and alleys were filled with the sour smell of love.
Because today is not only the opening day of the Mathematicians' Conference, but also the day that young couples love the most.
When you are young, you should get dry, and you still have to get dry.
Drive through the streets to the Morningside Mathematics Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
The mathematicians' conference was held at the Morningside Mathematics Center.
Speaking of which, the completion of this Morningside Mathematics Center is the time when the World Congress of Chinese Mathematicians was established.
In a sense, this is also a kind of relationship between the World Congress of Chinese Mathematicians and the Chinese mathematical community.
Walking into the Morningside Mathematics Center, Chen Zhou saw a crowded scene.
This is probably the busiest Morningside Math Center in so many years.
When Chen Zhou participated in the Yau Chengtong College Student Mathematics Competition, his written test was held at the Morningside Mathematics Center.
So, he's still a little familiar with this place.
At that time, there were almost no people in the Morningside Math Center.
How can it be like now, if you go down with a stick, you can knock down a large area.
Chen Zhou followed Zhang Shouwu and others into the venue.
There were a lot more people in the venue than outside.
This group of people who are discussing enthusiastically represents the entire Chinese country and the Chinese mathematical community.
As soon as Chen Zhou, Zhang Shouwu and the others entered, several eyes were on them.
There are familiar people and there are unfamiliar people.
The people Chen Zhou is familiar with are naturally the professors of Yan University.
Wu Xiping, Zhang Zhongyuan, Xu Chenyang and others, all there.
First, Wu Xiping and Zhang Zhongyuan came straight to Chen Zhou.
Chen Zhou took the lead in greeting the two and said, "Hello Professor Wu, hello Professor Zhang~"
Wu Xiping smiled at Chen Zhou: "Why is this coming? The opening ceremony will be held soon." ”
Chen Zhou explained: "I came with the shuttle bus from the hotel, it shouldn't be too late, right?"
Wu Xiping suddenly understood: "So that's ......"
After Wu Xiping finished speaking, Zhang Zhongyuan said with an unhappy face: "Chen Zhou, why don't you greet us every time, can't it be Professor Zhang who is good, but Professor Wu who is good?"
When Chen Zhou heard this, he was slightly stunned, and laughed softly: "Professor Zhang, are you planning to discuss this issue with Professor Wu?"
Zhang Zhongyuan immediately looked at Wu Xiping: "Why not? Even if Professor Wu is the instructor of your graduation thesis, I am also your teacher for two years?"
Wu Xiping said with a smile at this time: "Okay, Zhongyuan, I won't fight with you for this, next time let you go ahead, and when Chen Zhou finishes greeting you, how about I come out again?"
Zhang Zhongyuan thought for a moment and asked uncertainly, "What you said is true?"
Wu Xiping shook his head and chuckled.
Listening to the bickering between these two professors, Chen Zhou couldn't help but think back to the time when he first entered college.
Chen Zhou very much wanted to give a suggestion to the campus network of Yan University, that is, they should open a post about Wu Xiping and Zhang Zhongyuan falling in love and killing each other, and recount the good years of these two teachers.
While speaking, Xu Chenyang, the "senior brother" of Yanda, also walked over.
Compared with Wu Xiping and Zhang Zhongyuan, the intersection of Xu Chenyang and Chen Zhou is actually not too much.
But after the last exchange, the relationship between the two is not too strange.
When Chen Zhou saw Xu Chenyang approaching, he also took the initiative to greet him: "Senior Brother Xu, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
Xu Chenyang replied with a smile: "It's been a long time, the last time we met was when you won the Colean Number Theory Award......
Speaking of this, Xu Chenyang couldn't help but joke: "It seems that if I want to see you, it must be when you win the mathematics prize?"
Chen Zhou also said half-jokingly: "Then I will strive to win a few more mathematics awards and meet a few more senior brothers......
Xu Chenyang smiled and nodded: "Then I must have no opinion, being able to win more mathematics awards also represents more and more achievements you have made, that is a good thing, I am optimistic about you~"
After saying two more words, Xu Chenyang was called away.
Looking at the back of Xu Chenyang's departure, Wu Xiping sighed with emotion: "He should be under a lot of pressure now, and he can't even concentrate on research......
Zhang Zhongyuan also said: "No way, there are very few people like him who are still immersed in mathematics." The predicament he is encountering now is also the most common in Huaguo. ”
Chen Zhou glanced at the two of them, and still asked, "What's wrong with him?"
Wu Xiping looked at Chen Zhou and didn't explain too much, but asked softly, "Chen Zhou, have you ever thought about what you plan to do after graduating from graduate school?"
Chen Zhou was just about to speak, when a few people walked in outside the door.
The originally noisy venue suddenly fell silent.
The few people who walked in, the one in the middle, were much more frequent than Chen Zhou's news broadcast.
The man's countenance is hardly unknown to anyone.
This person is none other than Premier Li, the leader of the Chinese State Council.
Among the other people around him, Chen Zhou only knew Mr. Qiu Chengtong and President Qiu of Yan University.
However, Chen Zhou can also guess the identities of several other people, probably Chen Qizhong, chairman of Xiangjiang Morningside Group, academician Xi Nanhua, chairman of the Chinese Mathematical Society, and other organizers.
Perhaps the most surprising of these is the arrival of Premier Li of the Government Council.
Who would have thought that a conference of mathematicians would alarm the Prime Minister of the Government Council?
Moreover, only when an academic conference of the level of the International Congress of Mathematicians is held in China, will someone like Premier Li be present, right?
But it was precisely because of the arrival of Premier Li that everyone present immediately realized the different significance of this mathematicians' conference.
Premier Li greeted the stunned crowd around him warmly, and said: "You talk first, don't look at me coming, you won't speak, you should talk about anything, just talk about anything, just like I didn't come." ”
After speaking, Premier Li and his entourage, under the leadership of the staff, walked towards the empty position in the first row.
I don't know if it's Chen Zhou's delusion, or what.
He always felt that Premier Li seemed to look at him twice.
Looking at the back of the old man in front of him, Chen Zhou thought silently.
It was only at this time that Chen Zhou realized what Yao Tongtong meant by the phrase "a mathematical event between China and the Chinese".
Premier Li, who was sitting in front of him, chatted enthusiastically with the people around him, and did not seem restrained at all.
But the people around him, even with Premier Li's previous remarks, the voice of the discussion is not as good as before.
The time came to 9:30 a.m.
It is also the opening time of the academic annual meeting jointly organized by the Chinese Mathematical Society and the World Congress of Chinese Mathematicians.
After the host's impassioned opening, Premier Li walked to the podium of the venue with steady steps.
The eyes of the audience were also instantly focused on this old man.
Premier Li looked around before he slowly spoke: "You may be very curious, why am I here today, and why do I take the time to come here to attend a conference of mathematicians?"
"Everyone, don't think so much, since this is a conference of Chinese and Chinese mathematicians, then I, as a Chinese, must be able to join in the fun, right?"
Premier Li's words immediately brought him closer to everyone present.
There are no different identities, whether you are a famous mathematician, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, a university professor, or just an ordinary scholar.
Here, we all have the same identity.
After a slight pause, Premier Li continued: "Before the opening ceremony began, I also sat in the audience, but it was not good to just sit, so I learned some questions from the president of our Yan University and the leaders of the Chinese Mathematical Society. Of course, this is certainly not a purely mathematical problem, pure mathematics, I can't study it, I have to rely on you. ”
Premier Li's voice fell, and there was laughter from the audience.
In this way, Premier Li successfully resolved the constraints of everyone in the audience.
Glancing at the audience, Premier Li said, "Then what is the question I ask President Yan Daegu? Is the number of people who have applied for pure mathematics at Yenching University in the past few years more or less?"
As for Premier Li's remarks, many people present did not understand this question.
I don't understand why a prime minister's opening speech would say this.
But there are also some people who quickly figure out why.
These people, naturally, also include Chen Zhou.
