Chapter 323: Awards

Chapter 323

The purpose of the Clay Institute for Mathematics is clearly achieved.

In order to recruit Gu Lu, major universities sent several bigwigs in the mathematics community to participate in the award ceremony.

Besides.

There were also some mathematicians who admired Gu Lu's fame and also arrived.

As a result, the number of participants in the Clay Mathematical Research Award Ceremony reached an unprecedented number of more than 500 people, a record high!

The happy director Buddy and the leaders grinned.

Inviting Gu Lu to participate in this year's award ceremony, this decision has to be said to be very correct!

This is an opportunity......

A perfect opportunity to internationalize the Cray Prize for Mathematical Research.

…………

Accompanied by Director Buddy's secretary, Gu Lu walked into the auditorium where the award ceremony was held.

The size of the auditorium is not small.

But the number of mathematicians who came to watch the ceremony was an unprecedented 500.

So the sitting was almost full.

And when Gu Lu walked in at the front door, it directly caused a burst of exclamations from the mathematicians in the auditorium.

Most of these people had met Gu Lu at the International Congress of Mathematicians that had just concluded a few days ago.

Therefore, the moment Gu Lu just stepped into the auditorium, he was recognized by the mathematicians in the auditorium.

Listening to the bursts of exclamations in the auditorium, Gu Lu waved his hand helplessly to say hello, and then stepped forward to shake hands with Director Buddy, who was facing him.

Director Buddy had a Maitreya Buddha-like smile on his face, "Professor Gu, I rested quite comfortably last night." ”

Gu Lu smiled, "Thank you Director Buddy for your concern, I have been in the United States for two years, and there is no saying that I am not used to." ”

"That's good, that's good. Director Buddy glanced at the secretary on the side, and then cordially shook Gu Lu's hand and walked forward, "Professor Gu, it's not early, let's take a seat!"

Gu Lu stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please, and said with a slight smile, "Director Buddy, you invite first." ”

Gu Lu's position was arranged in the first row.

And it's to the left of Director Buddy.

On both sides of Gu Lu were the leaders of the Cray Institute of Mathematics.

As for the other three mathematicians who were nominated for the Clay Mathematical Research Prize with Gu Lu, they were placed in the second row with some university bigwigs.

The meaning of his special care for Gu Lu has been revealed.

There are still a few minutes left until the start of the awards ceremony.

Several leaders of the Clay Institute of Mathematics talked to Gu Lu.

Since we met at the reception banquet last night, and the Clay Institute of Mathematics is in a relatively neutral position in the mathematical community.

Gu Lu smiled and chatted with several leaders.

…………

Seven o'clock sharp.

The award ceremony officially began.

The scene fell silent.

The lights of the entire auditorium were dimmed at first, and then a beam of light hit the stage.

The presenter in a tuxedo stepped out.

"Welcome to the Clay Mathematical Research Award Ceremony, and on behalf of the Clay Institute for Mathematical Research, I would like to welcome you all there!"

"As we all know, the Clay Prize for Mathematical Research was awarded to ......"

Let's go, let's go.

The moderator began to introduce the history and evolution of the Clay Prize for Mathematical Research.

And used a lot of exaggerated rhetorical devices to illustrate the gold content of the Clay Prize for Mathematical Research.

“…… Thirty-seven Clay Prizes for Mathematical Research have been awarded today, and today is the 38th Clay Prize for Mathematical Research!"

"Having said all this, you may be unable to help but want to know who this year's trophy will go to! Don't worry, let me introduce you to the four mathematicians nominated for this year's Clay Prize for Mathematical Research!"

"The first is Professor Ens Cole from the University of California, Berkeley, a well-known mathematician in the field of functional analysis, who has made outstanding contributions in the fields of nonlinear functional analysis and operator equations, and has won the Mathematical Science Progress Award for his theoretical breakthrough in operator algebra!"

"The second is Professor McHaskine from New York University, who is the first person in the field of topology, the first person in the field of singularity and mutation theory in the United States, and many of his papers have been included in four major journals, and he is the proposer of the concept of 'Hausdorff fuzzy metric topology'. ”

"The third place is Professor Bobby Lipton from the University of Chicago......"

Not surprisingly, the first three are all mathematicians from the United States.

Gu Lu is a rare foreign mathematician in the history of the Clay Mathematical Research Prize.

After introducing the resume of the third mathematician, the host's voice suddenly rose a few points.

"As for the fourth mathematician, it is Professor Gu Lu from Yenching University in Huaguo! ”

Professor Gu Lu is currently focusing on geometry and number theory, and has many major scientific research achievements. Proving the conjecture of equal difference prime, proposing the complex loop conjecture, solving the whole point problem in the sphere and the program of the minimalist model. A month ago, Professor Gu Lu won the Wiblen Prize for his proof of the BAB conjecture!"

The host introduced Gu Lu, which is a bit thin, but it is enough to be called a luxurious resume.

The small number of mathematicians present who didn't know Gu Lu stared directly at each other after hearing this, and they were stunned in place.

"Skuy!"

A certain island mathematician couldn't help but marvel.

"I've already introduced the four mathematicians, and as for which mathematician will eventually win this year's Clay Prize for Mathematical Research, different people may have different candidates. Now, let's ask Director Buddy to announce the winners of this year's awards!"

"Professor Gu, prepare in advance to go up and receive the award. Director Buddy whispered this to Gu Lu beside him, then got up and walked to the stage with a smile.

The waiter handed Director Buddy an envelope.

The name of the winner is written on the card in the envelope.

It's just that Director Buddy, who was standing on the stage, didn't seem to be in a hurry to open the envelope, but smiled and greeted the mathematicians warmly.

"What's the ink, hurry up and dismantle it, don't lose your appetite!"

"Hehe, what kind of appetite is this, this year's Clay Prize for Mathematical Research Winner couldn't be more obvious!"

"You mean ......?"

"That's right, who else but Gu Lu!"

In fact, many mathematicians in the auditorium realized that there was no suspense about who would win this year's Clay Prize for Mathematical Research!

Because apart from Gu Lu, there will be no other candidates.

If the International Congress of Mathematicians is held, the other three mathematicians may still be able to have a five-five conversation with Gu Lu.

But now, those three people and Gu Lu have completely become two different grades of existence.

As long as the group of people at the Clay Institute of Mathematics had no brains, they would not give the award to anyone except Gu Lu.

Sure enough, under the watchful eye, Director Buddy opened the envelope.

Then in front of everyone, he spoke loudly,

"Next, I announce that the winner of the 38th Clay Prize for Mathematical Research is ———— Gu Lu!!"
