Chapter 096 Number Theory + Geometry = Strong CP

"Just now I said that the Langlands program is a new program of number theory + algebraic geometry, and my number theory is very bad, but my partner is an expert in number theory, please allow me to make a guest appearance. Yun Wei looked at the official host standing not far away.

The moderator smiled and took a few steps back and made a gesture to take care of himself.

Yun Wei: "Let me introduce my classmate in the Department of Mathematics of Yan University, Mr. Gong Changwei, winner of the Science Breakthrough Prize and Ramanujan Prize, and professor of the Department of Mathematics at MIT, who gave a speech on stage!"

The applause rang out again, and a thin man with glasses came to the stage, he and Yun Wei hugged warmly, and then Yun Wei stepped down.

"Great gods, great gods, all great gods, it's the turn of the great gods. Shen Qi was fascinated, today's speech was not in vain.

Gong Changwei was Yun Wei's classmate in the Department of Mathematics at Yan University, he was one year older than Yun Wei, a little thinner than Yun Wei, and his hair was not as dense as Yun Wei.

"I was born in a rural area, and when I was a child, my family didn't have spare money to cultivate any hobbies, so I played with numbers by myself, passed the time, and won a few prizes while counting, and then I was lucky to come to the Department of Mathematics of Yan University to study. Gong Changwei's opening remarks revealed an atmosphere of an arithmetic prodigy in a faint memory: "I am particularly sensitive to numbers, maybe I was born, and I was the first in the village in mental arithmetic when I was a child." ”

The audience laughed.

"But it's useless to calculate quickly, Yun Wei has never been able to count me, but his grades are always better than mine. Yun Wei won the IMO gold medal with a perfect score, and I am one point less than him, and this point is the gap between me and him. Gong Changwei smiled and glanced at the seat of Yunwei under the stage.

Yun Wei and Gong Changwei smiled at each other, pretending, Gong Changwei, you continue to pretend.

Show, great god, please continue to show. Shen Qi knew that Gong Changwei was also an IMO gold medalist, but he didn't get a full score.

Yun Wei and Gong Changwei's Chinese Olympiad team was really tough, and other countries that played could only cry on their knees. How strong is it, the Chinese Olympiad team only needs to send five players to win the IMO team championship, and the full number of players is six.

When Shen Qi participated in the IMO last year, if the Chinese team had one less person, he could only win the team bronze medal.

Looking at the international mathematical community, most of the winners of the F, W, A, and Ramanujan Prizes in the past 30 years have IMO participation experience and achieved good results.

In fact, China sent personnel to participate in the IMO relatively late, and only began to participate in the IMO in 85.

After stumbling for ten years, starting in the mid-to-late 90s, the Chinese Olympiad team broke out strongly and became a winning general in the IMO arena.

The young mathematicians of the post-80s generation, represented by Yun Wei and Gong Changwei, emerged during the strong outbreak of the Chinese Olympiad team.

From the mid-to-late 90s to around 2000, Yun Wei and Gong Changwei were both teenagers, and now they are in their thirties, and it will be within five to ten years to hit the Philippine Awards, and after the age of 40, they will automatically lose their qualifications for the Fields Medal.

"Since I can only count numbers, come on, then I'll study number theory, I decided on the research direction very early, at that time it was a freshman or a sophomore, and Mr. Sun Erxiong suggested that I focus on the direction of number theory. Gong Changwei bowed to the audience and said, "Thanks to the teachers of the Department of Mathematics of Yan University for their guidance to me, I have benefited a lot in my life." ”

, fat old Sun can it, he has taught Yunshen and Weishen Could it be that Sun Erxiong is the hidden boss of the Department of Mathematics of Yan University? Shen Qi looked around the auditorium for a week, but still didn't find Sun Erxiong. But think about it, Yun Shen and Wei Shen were classmates in the same class when they were undergraduates in the Department of Mathematics of Yan University, and since Sun Erxiong taught Yun Shen, he must have also taught Wei Shen.

After graduating from Yan University with a bachelor's degree, Yunwei went to Princeton's Department of Mathematics, the world's most prestigious mathematics major, and obtained a doctorate in mathematics. Gong Changwei, who went to the United States with Yunwei, chose Columbia University, where he received his Ph.D. in mathematics. Yun Wei and Gong Changwei, a generation of young mathematicians born in the 80s, are known as China's golden generation.

Gong Changwei began teaching doctoral students at the age of 30 and is now a professor in the Department of Mathematics at MIT. Some of Gong Changwei's doctoral students in the United States are older than him.

"Since confirming the direction of number theory, I thought that it would be impossible to intersect with Yunwei in this life, and my research entry point is more inclined to arithmetic, while Yunwei's entry point is more geometry. Gong Changwei continued to speak.

"Yun Wei just said that the Langlands program is a programmatic study of number theory + algebraic geometry, which is of epoch-making significance. Ten years after graduating from Yan University, Yunwei and I have come together again, we are partners, we are very tacit, and we are eager to make breakthroughs. Chinese mathematicians have never been silent, and this era is our golden age, and the cry of the Chinese will resound throughout the world!" Gong Changwei said impassionedly.

The young mathematicians of the post-80s generation are different from the older generation, they are more confident and eager to show their talents in front of the world.

"That's good!" Shen Qi shouted, taking the lead in applauding.

"Professor Yun and Professor Gong are awesome!"

"The Philippine Award is yours!"

The audience applauded continuously, and the speech ended.

Gong Changwei and Yun Wei have won the Ramanujan Prize, and in recent years, they have joined forces to launch an offensive against the Langlands Program, and not long ago they jointly wrote a paper on some analysis of the Langlands Program, and jointly won the Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics and divided the prize money of 3 million US dollars.

From the Olympiad National Team to the Department of Mathematics of Yan University, and then to study the Langlands Program together, the young and promising Gong Changwei and Yun Wei are a pair of golden partners, one of them is proficient in number theory, and the other is good at algebraic geometry.

"Yunshen and Weishen really complement each other well, algebraic geometry + number theory, and their combination of studying the Langlands program is very suitable. Shen Qi sighed.

Speaking of number theory, talking about being naturally sensitive to numbers, Shen Qi suddenly remembered a person, Ou Ye, Calculation Ji.

Ou Yeqiang is arithmetic, and her characteristics are somewhat similar to Weishen.

Shen Qi remembered that Professor Sun Erxiong had commented on Ou Ye when he took them to this Golden Autumn Camp, and the fat old Sun said that the most suitable direction for Ou Ye in the future was number theory.

It seems that the fat old grandson is not nonsense, Ou Ye has a template, and her template is a great god.

While most of the time math is a man's number game, there has been no shortage of prominent female mathematicians throughout history, such as Julia Robinson, an expert in number theory who is known in mathematics for solving the 10th problem of Hilbert's 23 questions.

"Ou Shen, what are you doing?" Shen Qi sent a WeChat message to Ou Ye.

It wasn't until an hour later that Ou Shen replied: "Just woke up." ”

Shen Qi: "Why did the god just wake up and wake up when it's almost dinner?"

Oye: "Hmm. ”

Shen Qi: "Ou Ye, do you know, I listened to the speeches of Yunshen and Weishen on the spot today, and I think your template is Weishen." ”

Oye: "Oh. ”

Shen Qi: "Do you know who the great god is?"

Ou Ye: "Gong Changwei." ”

Shen Qi: "Then you're oh oh, oh ghost." Number theory is very promising, and it is also very difficult to do, even the cloud god does not dare to touch number theory, but you can try it. ”

Oye: "I've started trying. ”

Shen Qi: "Very good! After the opening of Yan University in September, we will discuss the specific business in detail." ”

Oye: "Oh. ”

Shen Qi: "Don't oh oh oh, what I hate the most is oh oh oh!"

Oye: "......"

Shen Qi: "............"
