Chapter 176

December 9th.

Through the full cooperation of Gu Lu and Senior Brother Gao, a 54-page paper was officially completed.

The main content of the paper is to describe in detail the way to solve the second problem of the minimalist program.

That is, for algebraic clusters, the question of whether the flip operation will terminate after a finite number of times.

The end result is that this flip operation will indeed be terminated after a limited number of times.

Gu Lu titled the paper "Proof of the termination of algebraic clusters after a finite number of flip operations: a solution to the second problem of the minimalist program".

Everything is ready, just press time.

After checking more than 50 pages of the paper from beginning to end, and after checking no problems, Gu Lu went to the official website of the German magazine "New Advances in Mathematics" to submit the paper.

In terms of the efficiency of "New Advances in Mathematics", it will take about a month to a month and a half to receive a reply from the reviewer.

Gu Lu does not think that the quality of this paper does not meet the review standards of New Advances in Mathematics.

It's just ......

What kind of review comments will the reviewers give?

Whether it is a minor repair, or no modification, it can be directly included.

After the submission was completed, Gu Lu did not close the computer.

Instead, he relied on the internal campus network of Yan University to log in to a website called a foreign company.

arXiv, the world's largest preprint site, allows you to upload preprints of some scientific papers.

To put it simply, this website is a document collection website that researchers will upload the manuscript to ARVIX as a pre-inclusion in order to prevent their ideas from being plagiarized by others before the paper is included, so this is a document inclusion website that can prove the originality of the paper.

Normally, after submitting a paper to an academic journal, researchers will also upload a preprint of the paper to the website.

Occupy the pit in advance, announce the originality of the paper, and avoid plagiarism.

If someone collides with their own idea later, this can be used as evidence to determine the ownership of the paper's results.

Simply to understand.

It is two papers with the same idea, and whoever hangs their paper early in arXiv has the power of this paper.

Of course, arXiv is not only a website for uploading preprints of papers, but also a website for peer-to-peer research exchanges.

All preprints uploaded to arXiv can be read and downloaded by anyone for free.

As a result, any researcher can view the latest research results in their respective fields and grasp the latest trends in the industry through arXiv.

Every once in a while, brushing arXiv has become a habit for many scientific researchers.

…………

As the world's largest preprint website, arXiv naturally includes a large number of papers every day.

After all, the world's scientist base is over there.

Let's take the simplest day.

In the mathematics section of arXiv, one of the 32 branches of algebraic geometry, the number of preprints uploaded per day is about 300 to 500.

And that's after some limitations.

When the arXiv website was first established, it was open to all researchers, which inevitably led to uneven quality of papers uploaded to the website.

There are even some scientific researchers, who don't know where they got the courage to upload some papers that are used as undergraduate graduation theses, but I am afraid they are not up to standard, on the website, hoping that they will be appreciated by peers.

Therefore, in order to put an end to this phenomenon and improve the overall quality of the paper, arXiv has taken certain measures.

Reviewing the papers uploaded to the website one by one is completely unworkable.

The workload is too large, and the time required to review the paper is too long, even longer than the SCI review cycle.

If you need such a long upload review time, then what is the use of arXiv, a preprint site?

arXiv limits the papers uploaded to the website not for the paper itself, but for the author.

In other words, if a researcher wants to register an account on arXiv and upload a preprint of a paper, he or she must be reviewed by the website.

In other words, the endorsement of arXiv.

This recognition may come from the endorsement of another accredited person or may be granted automatically in accordance with certain internal regulations. Authors from prestigious academic institutions are usually automatically recognized.

When Gu Lu was a research assistant at the Institute for Advanced Mathematics in Princeton, he had already obtained an account for the website.

Logging in to the account, Gu Lu uploaded a total of ten papers in this account.

From the time I entered the graduate stage to the present, Gu Lu has submitted articles to SCI.

Pageviews are low, though.

One of the highest papers has just over 200 views.

And on the arXiv website, the kind of industry leader who has thousands of views in a single day when a paper is uploaded, it is not at the same level at all.

Gu Lu didn't care much about this.

As for the quality of the ten articles he uploaded on arXiv, Gu Lu couldn't be clearer.

There is no smell of wine, and I am afraid of deep alleys.

In the scientific community, this theorem does not apply at all.

The reason why the number of views of Gu Lu's articles is low is entirely because the level of the articles is not high.

But this time, it is estimated that it will be different.

Gu Lu tapped his fingers on the keyboard, wrote the title of the paper, and uploaded it directly to the website.

Gu Lu uploaded the algebraic geometry partition of the math half.

The content of double rational geometry in the program of minimalist models, which in turn belongs to one of the branches of algebraic geometry.

So, in terms of the broad category, the minimal model program belongs to the field of algebraic geometry.

After the upload is successful, Gu Lu obtains a numeric code.

It's something like a number, coded according to when the paper was uploaded.

At the same time, as mentioned before, this time code can also prove the upload time of the paper, preventing the embarrassing situation of not providing evidence after being plagiarized.

There is no review process, and even if the website staff has that time, they don't have that level of knowledge.

The page shows that after the upload was successful, a preprint of Gu's paper appeared on the arXiv website.

The rest of the fellow mathematicians can read and download it at will, and even leave a message below the article to express their opinions.

However, it is not allowed to do anything that harms the interests of the author.

The Algebraic Geometry module is a fairly popular one.

There are quite a few mathematicians who regard algebraic geometry as their main direction of attack.

In particular, nearly one-third of today's internationally recognized genius mathematicians have certain research results in this field.

A jousting arena for geniuses!

Someone has used this phrase to evaluate the state of algebraic geometry in recent years.

Therefore, Gu Lu's paper was uploaded in less than ten minutes, and as soon as it was refreshed, in chronological order, Gu Lu's paper had been brushed to the second page.

Shaking his head, Gu Lu smiled bitterly, then closed the computer, stretched his waist, and got up to go to dinner.

And I don't know it.

His dissertation was like a pebble, causing ripples on the calm surface of the lake of double rational geometry.
