"Professor Figari has made fruitful progress in elliptical and parabolic PDE, Professor Gong in number theory and its related self-defending forms, and Mr. Shen in the proof of the Walsh conjecture and the study of Banach space. ”

In addition, Mr. Shen's proof of the Riemann conjecture is innovative and breakthrough, and IMU is organizing relevant experts and Mr. Shen's team to jointly study the Riemann conjecture. ”

"For these reasons, the Breakthrough in Mathematics Award is awarded to the three mathematicians mentioned above, who fully meet the criteria for the award. ”

Mr. Jones, the guest of honor, introduced the main research achievements of the three winners in the past one or two years.

Shen Qi, Gong Changwei, and Fei Jiali each received a prize of 1 million US dollars.

Hard work must be rewarded, and the system began to issue awards: "New achievements!" Congratulations to the host for winning the blockbuster award 'Mathematics Breakthrough Award' as the youngest in history, with a basic reward of 600,000 Xueba points, multiplied by the mathematics master talent coefficient of 2.0, and the final reward amount is 1.2 million Xueba points. The balance 1821538 points for Xueba, please confirm with the host. ”

The youngest winner is a factor that adds to the amount of achievement awards.

Shen Qi feels that in recent years, he should win awards all over the world, including the Philippine Prize, and the heavyweight mathematics awards, which are won at the age of 25, can set a new record for the "youngest winner".

After winning the award, Shen Qi was interviewed by a number of media, in which he said: "I am very happy to receive the 'Breakthrough Award in Mathematics', and I am grateful to my team...... Yes, you are right, I will be attending the International Congress of Mathematicians in the second half of the year...... Fields Medal? ”

The American reporter said: "But Mr. Shen, when you were interviewed by our station yesterday, you also said that you had no hope of winning the 'Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics', but just now, you won the 'Breakthrough Award in Mathematics'. ”

Shen Qi smiled: "Yes, life is like this, we can only choose to accept it." ”

With the proof of the Walsh conjecture, the two Banach space theorems named after Shen Qi's surname, and the Riemann conjecture that caused a sensation but has not yet been officially recognized, Shen Qi has entered the harvest season, and he harvests awards, honors, popularity, money, and connections in the real society, and harvests the points of the top students in the system.

After the award ceremony, Shen Qi, Gong Changwei, and Fei Jiali got together to chat.

The three of them have known each other before, and their relationship is not bad.

Needless to say, the relationship between Shen Qi and Gong Changwei is from Yan University, and Gong Changwei is the graduate tutor of Shen Qi's girlfriend.

Both Shen Qi and Figali studied at Princeton and belonged to the same organization.

Gong Changwei and Fei Jiali, the eyes of the two famous professors looking at Shen Qi, changed subtly.

Shen Qi has not yet received a PhD and is only a mathematics teaching assistant at Princeton, but he has been promoted to equal academic status in the eyes of the two professors.

Academia is like that, this circle perhaps values grades, outcomes, and achievements more than any other, and the qualification to have supreme academic status is to create unparalleled academic achievements.

"I can finally pay off my mortgage. Gong Changwei flicked a $1 million Wells Fargo check, and mathematicians also have to live, and they will also worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation. Gong Changwei was born in the countryside of Sichuan and Shu, and he was able to get to this point completely on his own, relying on his outstanding mathematical talent and diligent sweat.

"My mortgage has been paid off and I can finally own the latest Lamborghini. Figari was born into a family of high-ranking Italian intellectuals, and his family's economic conditions were relatively well-off, and he belonged to the upper part of the middle class in Europe.

"I can finally swap out my second-hand Chevrolet, the Lamborghini is too ostentatious, and the Mercedes is more suitable for my current life. Shen Qi put away the check for $1 million.

"Mercedes-Benz is driven by an old man, Qi, you are so young, 22 years old, don't tell me you will choose Mercedes-Benz?" Figari tried his best to persuade Shen Qi not to buy Mercedes-Benz, young people, they should choose a relatively young car brand.

Shen Qi said: "Mercedes-Benz also has models that focus on young consumers, Alessio, do you know why I like Mercedes-Benz, there is only one reason, I like the Mercedes-Benz LOGO, don't you think that among all the car LOGO, the Mercedes-Benz LOGO is the most in line with the aesthetics of mathematical definition?"

"The Mercedes-Benz logo can be seen as a closed curve on a flat ring that shrinks into a point, and then releases it to the edge through a two-dimensional manifold. Gong Changwei stretched out his finger and drew a circle in the air.

Shen Qi laughed: "It's still the senior brother who knows the car best, let's buy Mercedes-Benz in a group, and you can also get a discount." ”

Fei Jiali was speechless: "Others pay attention to configuration, power and safety when buying a car, and you pay attention to the reasonable explanation of topology when you buy a car, I think the salesmen in the Mercedes-Benz sales store will go crazy, and their sales skills will completely fail in front of you!"

"Strange, according to your view of car purchase, all Italian car brands, including Lamborghini, Ferrari, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, etc., have essential design flaws, their logos are completely impossible to explain in mathematical language, they are failed products. ”

The three mathematics prize winners talked and laughed, and the British mathematician Maynard, who was passing by in a hurry, chose to take a detour.

Fei Jiali studied partial differential equations and differential geometry, Gong Changwei mainly focused on number theory, and Shen Qi was very comprehensive, and he relied on number theory and functional analysis to become popular rapidly in the past two years.

Maynard also studied number theory, and his research direction was highly similar to Shen Qi.

If Maynard also won the "Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics", then the "Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics" should be renamed the "Breakthrough Prize in Number Theory", which is not in line with the mainstream development trend of contemporary mathematics.

Traditionally, after the symposium and award ceremony, the presenters of important topics will participate in one or more roundtables to answer questions from leading experts in the field.

"Mill-Shen theorem" and "Shen's proximity theorem" have long been published in the four major mathematical journals, and mathematicians in the field of functional have studied it thoroughly, and there is nothing to ask.

The report "Proof of the Riemann Conjecture Based on the 'Twin Matching Method'" was made public the day before yesterday, and mathematicians in the field of number theory are still in full swing and in-depth research, so there is nothing to ask.

So Shen Qi, who returned with a full load, returned to Princeton, and life had to go on.

The second-hand Chevrolet Malibu was disposed of at a low price, and Shen Qi exchanged for a brand new SUV, Mercedes-Benz GLS.

The 4.0T twin-turbo V8 engine and 9AT gearbox make do with power and handling.

With a body length of more than 5 meters, combined with a tough exterior design, it looks manly.

With a wheelbase of more than 3 meters, the GLS is a 7-seater SUV that folds down the rear seats and allows you to do whatever you want in the car.

Because of factors such as tariffs and the fact that Chinese tycoons are not short of money, this Mercedes-Benz SUV is sold in China through import channels and sells for more than one million yuan.

At the dealership in the United States, Shen Qi paid more than $90,000 for the GLS.

As soon as the new car was mentioned, Shen Qi drove directly to Columbia University and picked up Ou Ye for a ride.

Ou Ye sat in the passenger seat and said: "This kind of large car, my dad likes it the most. ”

"Then what kind of car do you like?" Shen Qi asked, he knew that Ou Ye had a driver's license, although he had never seen Ou Ye drive a car.

"I like it too. Ou Ye turned on the makeup mirror above the passenger seat, looked in the mirror, and touched up his makeup.

"It's a bit of a contrast. Shen Qi automatically made up the picture of Ou Ye driving a large hard-core off-road.

"By the way, where are we going?" Ou Ye looked out the window, and this was all in Pennsylvania.

"Where do you want to go?" Shen Qi asked, the new car is running-in, and he doesn't have any destination, take his beloved woman, and drive wherever he goes.

"I want to go to Princeton. Ouye said.

Shen Qi went to Ou Ye's dormitory several times, but Ou Ye never went to Shen Qi's dormitory once, so he had to check the room or anything.

"OK, Princeton. Shen Qi turned around and headed towards the west of Xinze.
