Chapter 448

Princeton University, Institute for Advanced Mathematics.

Although it was late at night, several offices at the Institute for Advanced Mathematics were still brightly lit.

"Bill, make me another cup of coffee!" an old professor with a white beard commanded his student without looking up.

"Professor, you haven't rested for a day and a night. For the sake of your body, I recommend that you stop working. Bill advised.

The old professor wearing reading glasses leaned down, his eyes swept over the lines of formulas on the paper with fascination, as if he was looking at a peerless beauty again.

"What kind of genius brain can write such a beautiful mathematical language!"

Seeing that his teacher was already immersed in his own world, Bill shook his head helplessly and walked out of the office with a coffee cup.

As soon as I went out, I saw a blonde young man with a coffee cup coming out of the office next door, and the two looked at each other, both smiling bitterly.

"Hey, Bill, what did you say about this group of professors, they used to take care of their bodies, but since the dean called everyone together for a meeting yesterday, they have been working for dozens of hours without sleep as if they were beaten with chicken blood. The blonde youth asked.

Bill shook his head, "I don't know the details. ”

"But I heard from the teacher that yesterday morning, the Annals of Mathematics received a paper submission, and at this stage, what several professors are doing is the verification of these four papers, as for the content of the paper, and which mathematician submitted the paper, this is not clear. ”

"But I got a small message that tomorrow, Professors Carridge and Cockburn from MIT, and Professor Dickens from Harvard University will come to our school to help the Annals of Mathematics verify this paper. ”

"Lying ...... !" The blonde youth was speechless in astonishment.

After being stunned for a long time, he muttered, "Carridge, Coben, Dickens, these three are all Filipino award bosses!"

"Add in the three professors in our school who have won the Philippine Award, that's a total of ...... Six!"

The blonde young man slashed his spit, "The six Filipino Award bosses, such a luxurious lineup, what are they verifying? Also, what kind of article can invite these six bigwigs!"

Today, there are only eight Filipino Prize winners who are still active in the mathematics community in the United States.

And the "Annals of Mathematics" this time directly gathered six people in one go, which is ...... Is there going to be an earthquake in the world of mathematics?

…………

The blonde youth was right, the world of mathematics was indeed about to face an earthquake.

Yesterday, when Ayton, an assistant researcher, showed the paper to Professor Colin, deputy editor-in-chief of the Annals of Mathematics, Professor Colin had such a hunch.

Gu Lu, Professor Colin is no stranger to this name.

Last year, after Gu Lu publicly proved the conjecture of equal difference prime at the conference, the paper related to the result was published in the Annals of Mathematics.

Originally, Colin at that time saw that Gu Lu had great potential and the mass production was extremely high, so he had the idea of establishing a fixed contract relationship with Gu Lu.

However, after learning that Gu Lu had submitted two other papers, namely the 'Complex Loop Conjecture' and the 'Intrasphere Integral Point Problem', to New Advances in Mathematics instead of their Annals of Mathematics, Professor Colin was slightly dissatisfied with Gu Lu.

In addition, after Professor Colin learned that Gu Lu graduated from Princeton with a Ph.D., this dissatisfaction was amplified again.

Therefore, Professor Colin did not contact Gu Lu for a long time to discuss the matter of making Gu Lu a long-term contributor to the "Annals of Mathematics".

It wasn't until later that Gu Lu and Konstantin were openly opposed.

And Konstantin has a good relationship with the Annals of Mathematics, and Konstantin is also a frequent visitor to the Annals of Mathematics.

In this case, if you discuss the matter of the manuscript with Gu Lu, you will be suspected of standing in line.

Therefore, the matter is closed.

Since then, Professor Colin has paid little attention to Gu Lu's side, and has rarely heard of Gu Lu's news in the international mathematical community.

Until...... Yesterday!

The moment Brewer saw the title of Gu Lu's paper, he was completely stunned.

The first reaction was, how is that possible?

Then he spent more than an hour roughly scanning about one-fifth of Gu Lu's paper, that is, "Proof of the Special Hodge Conjecture Based on Harmonic Differential Forms in Nonsingular Projective Algebraic Clusters".

Although there are a few parts in the middle that he can't fully understand, on the whole, Gu Lu's paper, from the part he sees, does not have any logical errors.

This surprised him.

But at the same time, it also made Professor Colin aware of the seriousness of the situation.

The narrow Hodge conjecture was really proved by them?

And in just half a year!

So Professor Colin immediately went to Dean Letz of the Institute of Mathematics.

Dean Letz was also quite decisive, and a meeting was soon held, and several top professors from the Institute of Advanced Mathematics came to discuss the matter.

At the meeting, Dean Retts asked Professor Colin to give the paper to several professors for reading, and in the end, several professors unanimously paid attention to it.

A review group dedicated to Gu Lu and Simon's paper was quickly formed.

Its members include three Filipino Award winners and two Wolf Award winners.

However, in order to complete the verification of this paper in a short period of time, the review team is completely understaffed.

With a total of more than 300 pages of papers, the workload can be described as quite large.

But Dean Retz didn't count on all of them.

Before the start of the meeting, Dean Retz had already posted a heroic post to ask for help from the mathematics colleges of major universities in the United States.

Dean Retz has a high status in the mathematical community in the United States.

It belongs to the height of a hundred calls.

Coupled with the fact that the world's top conjectures such as the narrow Hodge conjecture were verified, no one at the several universities that received the news could sit still and sent mathematicians to Princeton overnight.

In just one day, the Institute for Advanced Mathematics in Princeton brought together nearly 30 professors from major universities.

And among these 30 professors, there are many winners of the Philippine Prize and major awards.

Such......

A review panel of 50 mathematicians was formed.

Among the 50 winners, there are six Filipino Prize winners, five Wolf Prize winners, three Wiblen Prize winners, and four Cole Algebra Prize winners!

Luxury!

It's so luxurious that it's a blast!

I am afraid that in the current mathematical community, except for the occasion of the International Congress of Mathematicians, only the Institute of Advanced Mathematics of Princeton University can gather such a luxurious lineup.

And under the duties of more than 50 members of the review team, the verification work for Gu Lu and Simon's paper proving the narrow Hodge conjecture began to be in full swing!
