Chapter 241

Gu Lu put his hands behind his head and looked at the full fifty-four pages of academic papers on the computer screen, with a relaxed expression on his face.

Finally...... That's it!

Gu Lu had a feeling of liberation.

Gu Lu had a pair of big dark circles under his eyes, and his eyes were sunken, but there was still a flash of essence in his dark eyes.

In two days, the contents of a one-person's high-thickness scratch paper were compiled into a 54-page paper.

That's a lot of work!

But Gu Lu persevered.

Gu Lu's face was relaxed.

The completion of the paper means that the four-month work of the research group is officially over.

The only thing left is to submit the paper for publication.

"Proof of the BAB Conjecture"!

That's the name of the 54-page paper.

It's just a few words, but it has a lot of weight.

Because it represents, the BAB conjecture, which has existed for nearly 30 years, has been officially overcome.

This is enough to cause a massive earthquake in the field of algebraic geometry.

And Gu Lu was hesitating which journal to submit this paper to.

In fact, in the bottom of his heart, Gu Lu wanted to vote for the "Annals of Mathematics".

After all, the Annals of Mathematics holds too high a place in the hearts of mathematicians, like Science and Nature in the mathematical world, and anyone wants to publish an article in it, because it represents an honor.

Although Gu Lu is not as fanatical as others, he still longs for the "Annals of Mathematics" controlled by the Princeton Institute for Advanced Mathematics for a long time.

After all, Gu Lu spent two years in Princeton when he was a graduate student, and he had heard of the name of the "Annals of Mathematics" for a long time.

If possible, Gu Lu naturally hopes to submit this paper to the Annals of Mathematics.

Moreover, the quality of Gu Lu's paper can fully meet the standard of being included in the "Annals of Mathematics".

Last time, Gu Lu's paper solving the second problem of the minimum model program was not submitted to the Annals of Mathematics because the quality of that paper was not up to the standard for its inclusion.

After the submission, it will still be sent back.

Therefore, Gu Lu honestly submitted the manuscript to "New Advances in Mathematics", which is also one of the "four major journals" in the mathematics community.

But this time, the paper in Gu Lu's hand is enough to meet the inclusion standards of the "Annals of Mathematics".

However, Gu Lu hesitated.

It's really good to submit to the Annals of Mathematics, which not only fulfills my long-standing wishes, but also gives you another big bonus from the school.

But......

The review cycle of the Annals of Mathematics is a hard flaw.

It should be clear that the average review cycle of the Annals of Mathematics is half a year, a full six months.

Although Gu Lu now has a slight reputation in mathematical circles, the review cycle has been shortened to about three months at most.

But for three months, Gu Lu couldn't wait.

Three months later, the quadrennial International Congress of Mathematicians had already ended, and Gu Lu's research results were published at that time, obviously because the cucumbers and vegetables were cold.

Therefore, after some hesitation, Gu Lu still chose to continue to submit the paper to New Advances in Mathematics.

The reason is simple.

Gu Lu still remembers that last time, Macron, the editor-in-chief of "New Advances in Mathematics", took the initiative to contact him, hoping to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with him.

Gu Lu replied ambiguously that time.

This time, Gu Lu can complete the review and publication of the paper in a short time through the "back door" of Macron's editor-in-chief.

This speed is definitely much faster than submitting a manuscript directly to the Annals of Mathematics.

Just do it.

Gu Lu found the private email address of Macron's editor-in-chief, and after briefly explaining the purpose, he directly sent the full English version of the paper to the past.

Then, Gu Lu logged in to his personal account on the ArXiv website and uploaded the preprint of the paper.

Turn off the computer and sleep!

Gu Lu, who hadn't closed his eyes for a long time, fell on the bed, and fell asleep as soon as his head was on the pillow.

Gu Lu slept very peacefully here, but he didn't know how much ripple Gu Lu threw out this paper in the lake of the geometric world.

............

Berlin, Germany.

Springer Publishing House headquarters, in a building with more than ten floors.

Macron, the editor-in-chief of New Advances in Mathematics, is sitting in an office chair, cross-legged, sipping coffee while handling the mail in the mailbox.

Springer Verlag is one of the top three publishing houses in Germany.

New Advances in Mathematics is one of its journals.

As one of the four major journals in the field of mathematics, "New Advances in Mathematics" has a detached position in the industry, although it is not as transcendent as "Annals of Mathematics", but it still receives an endless stream of manuscripts every year.

In terms of quantity, New Advances in Mathematics is no less than other journals, but in terms of quality, it is often unsatisfactory.

Think about it, those mathematicians at the top level, after completing a research result, the first choice of target must be the "Annals of Mathematics".

After being rejected by the "Annals of Mathematics", they will choose one of several such as "New Advances in Mathematics".

As a result, the Annals of Mathematics ate meat, and they could only drink soup after them.

This is not only the case with New Advances in Mathematics, but also the Journal of the Mathematical Society and the Journal of the Mathematical Society of the United States.

I have to say that this situation makes Macron's editor-in-chief feel very aggrieved, quite aggrieved!

What's more, the editor-in-chief of Macron is still quite ambitious and aspiring.

He is not satisfied with the title of "Big Big Four" in mathematics today.

Rather, it is hoped that under his leadership, "New Advances in Mathematics" can replace the position of "Annals of Mathematics" and become the uncrowned king of mathematics.

But, the discovery of the tragedy of Macron's editor-in-chief.

If this situation continues, New Advances in Mathematics will not only be unable to take the place of the Annals of Mathematics, but will also be very likely to continue to widen the gap with the Annals of Mathematics.

After pondering for a long time, editor-in-chief Macron came up with a way to break the situation.

That is, to attract a group of young mathematicians with great potential as much as possible, and strive to establish long-term cooperative relations with them.

When they grow up in the future, they will have the strength to compete with the Annals of Mathematics.

Gu Lu is naturally one of the targets chosen by Macron's editor-in-chief, and he is still a very important one.

Because, Gu Lu is too young.

At the age of 23, when most people are still in graduate school, this Chinese mathematician has already made a name for himself in the international mathematical community.

Even, won a lot of fame.

Macron focused on Gu Lu and smacked his tongue at Gu Lu's resume.

Three-time IMO gold medal, four years of university doctoral graduation!

It is not too much to become a demon.

Just as Macron was thinking, the mailbox on the computer clanged.

That's a prompt to receive a new email.

Macron opened his inbox unhurriedly.

"Gu Lu?"

When looking at the sender's name, Macron was stunned for a moment.

After reading the intention explained in Gu Lu's email, Macron clicked on the paper.

"Proof of the BAB Conjecture"!

After reading this title, Macron's pupils shrank sharply.
