Chapter 457

"What, you said Gu Lu was going to give a lecture on the narrow Hodge conjecture?" In a quaint and elegant office, a professor rose from his chair.

A young student standing opposite the professor nodded, "Yes, teacher, the School of Mathematics of Yan University released the news that it will hold a special report on the narrow Hodge conjecture on April 12, ten days later. ”

"And the speaker is Professor Gu Lu!"

"Ex, book me a ticket to China on the 10th or so. "The professor can't wait.

"However, teacher, we did not receive an invitation letter from the School of Mathematics of Yan University. The young student looked embarrassed.

At the same time that the School of Mathematics of Yan University announced the time of the conference, more than 500 invitations were sent to mathematicians from all over the world.

Only mathematicians who have received an invitation letter will be eligible to participate in the seminar.

Most of them are well-known mathematicians in the fields of algebra, geometry, and topology.

And the professor in front of him obviously does not have this qualification.

The professor's face suddenly collapsed, and he gritted his teeth and spoke, "Since we haven't received it, then let's go buy one." ”

"But teacher, the price of the invitation is ......"

It is foreseeable that once this news is announced, the price of the invitation will definitely be speculated to a very high level.

After all, this was an opportunity to listen to Gu Lu's explanation of the narrow Hodge conjecture prove the idea up close.

Even, for some mathematicians, this can be said to be priceless.

"I know!" said the professor, with a pained expression, "but it's a rare opportunity to get the invitation anyway." ”

"I heard rumors that Gu Lu is very low-key and rarely shows up, and this report meeting may be an opportunity to get close to Gu Lu. If we could learn something from him about the special Hodge conjecture, it would be of great benefit to us in the next step of our work!"

"Ex, you go and help me with this, no matter how high the price of the invitation, you must buy one. ”

"Yes!" the young student nodded.

It's not just that.

The next moment when the "Annals of Mathematics" officially announced that Gu Lu's verification process was correct, the School of Mathematics of Yan University announced the time and place of the report meeting.

And under the can spread of the School of Mathematics of Yan University.

In less than a day, it spread to most of the mathematical community.

Hearing that Gu Lu was going to give a special lecture on the special Hodge conjecture, many mathematicians were eager to do so.

Many people have the idea of running to listen to it.

After all, the theory expounded by Gu Lu in the paper is too abstract, and it is of great help to understand Gu Lu's paper that proves the narrow Hodge conjecture.

But......

They don't have an invitation.

The School of Mathematics has only sent out more than 500 invitations to the world.

This number of invitations is not a small number for a general presentation.

There are more than 500 invitations, and more than 200 people can arrive in the end, which is already good.

But this time it's different!

This is Gu Lu's special report!

The content of the report is still a proof of the narrow Hodge conjecture!

You know, there are not many mathematicians around the world who have chosen the special Hodge conjecture for their next research topic.

Gu Lu's special report was of great help to them.

In addition, there is also a group of mathematicians who are attracted by Gu Lu's personal strength, and they also hope to meet Gu Lu face-to-face.

In this way, more than 500 invitations are completely insufficient.

Because there are thousands of mathematicians who want to listen to this special presentation.

International Mathematical Forum.

All of a sudden, there were a lot of posts complaining that the amount of invitation functions was simply not enough.

Of course, those mathematicians who have already received invitations, uploaded pictures, by the way, to show off.

In the market, the price of an invitation to a presentation has been speculated to a high level.

At the same time, many mathematicians contacted people from the School of Mathematics of Yan University, hoping to increase the number of audience seats at the report meeting.

It's really pitiful for this group of foreign mathematicians.

They don't understand Chinese, and all this communication is translated sentence by sentence through translation software.

However, in the face of the request of such a group of mathematicians to increase the amount of invitation functions, the Yanda School of Mathematics is also a little embarrassed.

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

Huaguo, Yanda.

Still in that office, Bao Songquan stared at the computer screen in front of him with a wry smile.

Then, Bao Songquan looked at Gu Lu who was sitting on the sofa.

"Gu Lu, do you know how much the price of an invitation letter for your report meeting has been speculated?"

"A few hundred dollars?"

"No, it's a full five thousand dollars!" Bao Songquan raised five fingers, looking helpless, "In foreign countries, one of your invitations to a report meeting has been sold for five thousand dollars, and it is still the kind that has no price." ”

Gu Lu was stunned for a moment, a little shocked, "Is it so crazy?"

"That's so crazy!" Bao Songquan nodded heavily, and then smiled lightly, "The reason why the price of the invitation is hyped to this price is all because of Gu Lu's name! 5,000 US dollars for an invitation, this price is much more expensive than the concert tickets of some big-name stars!"

"If you don't engage in scientific research in the future, just by holding a report and selling tickets, it is enough to earn the rest of your life without worrying about food and clothing!" Bao Songquan made a small joke.

Gu Lu spread his hands with an innocent expression.

"Senior brother, I heard that our academy's official website has collapsed?" Gu Lu asked.

Bao Songquan coughed awkwardly, and said in a helpless tone, "It's not because of the invitation letter for the report meeting, many mathematicians who haven't got the invitation letter have applied on our official website to issue more invitations, and there are too many people, so the official website has been crowded, and it is now in the process of emergency repair." ”

"This is crazy, isn't it?" Gu Lu muttered to himself.

It's just an invitation, is that what you need to do?

"That's Gu Lu, you don't know how hot you are now. Bao Songquan crossed his fingers and said with a smile, "The reason why the invitation to this report meeting is in short supply is entirely because of Gu Lu. ”

"Most mathematicians are here for you. ”

"If it weren't for Gu Lu, but for another other mathematician to hold a special report meeting, it would have been good to be able to have more than 200 mathematicians present at that time. ”

Bao Songquan attributed all this to Gu Lu.

Gu Lu spread his hands and smiled, no longer discussing this topic, "So, senior brother, what should you do next?"

"What else can we do, we can only increase the number of invitations, but we can add two hundred at most, which is already our limit!"
