Chapter 265

In recent years, in the international arena of mathematics, in addition to the few mathematicians who have won the Fields Medal, this Swiss mathematician is the most eye-catching.

Originally, four years ago, that is, at the 27th World Congress of Mathematicians, Konstantin had the strength to win the Fields Medal, but at that time Konstantin was only thirty-two years old, which was too young, and there were still two opportunities for the Philippine Prize, so there was no need to worry, so he gave the place that originally belonged to him to an old qualified mathematician who was less than forty years old for half a month.

It was also after that that the relationship between Constantine and the International Mathematical Union began to stalemate, and he vaguely stated that he would not compete for the Fields Medal in the future.

But now, Konstantin is here, which shows that his relationship with the International Mathematical Union has eased, and he will not be absent from this year's Philippine Prize place.

Konstantin also dabbled in the field of algebraic geometry.

It's just that Konstantin's name is not on the list of geniuses in the field of algebraic geometry.

The list, including Gu Lu and Simon, is only a few people.

As for the reason...... Very simple!

Konstantin is known to be an all-round mathematician.

Not only in the field of algebraic geometry, but in other fields, Konstantin can still play the word "genius".

To put it simply, in the list of geniuses in the field of algebraic geometry, although there is no name of Konstantin.

But in the list of geniuses in the field of mathematics in the world, Konstantin is impressively listed.

And, it must be in the top few places!

Thirty-six-year-old Konstantin is an existence worthy of being called a great demon king.

It is also the target of many talented mathematicians.

Among them, there is Simon.

Simon and Constantine are only two years apart.

But there is still a gap between the two.

Simon is only well-known in the geometric world, but looking at the entire mathematical community, among the younger generation, he can only barely squeeze into the top ten.

And Konstantin, who is called the "reincarnation of Euler".

An all-round mathematician, the man at the helm of the mathematical world after ten years, and the most behemous mathematical genius in a century.

One title after another fell on Konstantin's head.

Let this mathematician, who is only thirty-six years old, stand at the top of the mathematical pyramid at a young age, on an equal footing with those veteran mathematicians in the mathematical world.

Throughout the ages, there have been few people who have been able to achieve this.

As if sensing being watched, Konstantin searched around with suspicious eyes.

Gu Lu and Simon shrank their heads weakly and entered the blind spot of Konstantin's vision.

Konstantin searched around, found nothing, shook his head and muttered something, then walked to the hotel not far away with his bag.

Seeing Konstantin walking away, Gu Lu and Simon exhaled lightly and raised their heads.

"How strong is he?" Gu Lu glanced at Simon, pondered for a few seconds, and asked.

Simon's eyes were still faintly jealous.

"Better than me!"

"I mean, Konstantin is better than when I was playing at full strength! Simon was quick to add.

Hearing this, Gu Lu shrugged helplessly.

The deep meaning of Simon's words is understood by Gu Lu.

To put it simply, don't let Gu Lu be arrogant and inflated because he once defeated him.

The reason why I lost to you before was because I underestimated the enemy and didn't play to my full strength.

Konstantin, on the other hand, is an opponent that I can't beat even if I give it my all.

Not to mention you now.

Gu Lu shook his head and smiled helplessly, "Do I have any direct conflict of interest with Konstantin, even if I am idle, I will not take the initiative to challenge him." ”

"Then you ......" Simon looked at Gu Lu's gaze with some indignation.

That means, why did you go against me before, I studied the BAB conjecture, you also studied the BAB conjecture, and you really succeeded in cutting off the beard, which caused my dream of the Philippine Award to be ruined.

"I'm also forced to be helpless!" Gu Lu explained with a smile.

"At that time, it was only after I had already started the question that I learned that you were also working on the BAB conjecture. If I had known before I started the topic, I probably wouldn't have chosen this topic. ”

"Alas, if only you told me before you started the question, I would definitely give you way, but unfortunately, there is no if......" Gu Lu sighed.

Simon, who heard Gu Lu's words on the side, almost scolded his mother.

Remind you before you start?

I didn't know you before I started the question, okay!

But I have to admit that Simon at that time really didn't take the small role of Gu Lu to heart.

One misstep becomes a thousand hatreds.

Thus, the present result was brewed.

As the so-called enemies meet, they are very red-eyed.

But on the occasion of the International Congress of Mathematicians, Simon also has to maintain his image.

Therefore, Gu Lu looked inexplicable and saw that after he finished saying that, Simon squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying.

The car was parked securely in the parking lot.

"Why don't you go to have a meal together in the evening, and take you to taste our Huaguo specialties? Gu Lu opened his mouth and proposed.

Simon was a little moved.

This is Simon's first visit to China.

As for the internationally renowned Chinese cuisine, Simon has long coveted it.

But when I thought that it was Gu Lu who accompanied me......

Simon's heart has not yet let go.

Simon shook his head, picked up his briefcase and opened the car door, "No, I'll eat in the hotel." ”

Gu Lu didn't force it, anyway, it was a long time coming, "Okay, then we'll see you tomorrow." ”

…………

The next day, early in the morning.

September 8th, for many, may just be an ordinary day. But for a certain group, it was a significant day.

Before six o'clock, Gu Lu woke up early.

After breakfast, I took a taxi to the Yenching International Convention Center.

The opening ceremony of the International Congress of Mathematicians began at eight o'clock.

However, from about seven o'clock, mathematicians began to enter one after another.

The opening ceremony was held in the first conference room of the Yenching International Convention Center.

With a total area of 2,500 square meters, it can accommodate meetings of up to 5,400 people.

For this International Congress of Mathematicians, this room is fully sufficient.

Gu Lu came relatively early.

When I arrived at the first conference room, there were only a few hundred people sitting in more than 5,000 seats, talking in small voices.

Gu Lu found his place in the rows of seats.

Gu Lu sat in the fifth row, a relatively front position.

Generally, the first row of the International Congress of Mathematicians is reserved for the Philippine Prize winners and the leaders of the conference.

The second and third rows are reserved for the older generation of mathematicians who are extremely qualified.

The fourth or fifth row is a place reserved for the outstanding young generation of mathematicians.

As for the rest of the mathematicians, they are seated according to the international sub-region.
