Chapter 393

December 5th.

There are ten days left until the award ceremony for the Morningside Prize in Mathematics.

A week ago, when the list of nominees for the Morningside Mathematics Prize was announced on the official website, it aroused enthusiastic discussions among mathematicians in China.

After all, the Morningside Mathematician is currently the most prestigious mathematics award in China.

The Fields Medal, known as the laurel of mathematics, is something that everyone does not dare to hope for.

But in the case of the Morningside Mathematics Prize, many people still have a chance to impact it.

The Morningside Prize in Mathematics is known as one of the stepping stones for academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Although a big man like Bao Songquan who has not won the Morningside Mathematics Prize, he can also be rated as an academician.

But with a Morningside Math Trophy, the process goes a lot smoother.

Therefore, as soon as the list of nominees for the Morningside Mathematics Prize was released, it attracted a lot of attention.

And a name.

The names of the ten people on the list of nominees are particularly prominent.

Gu Lu!

Many domestic mathematicians saw this name, and their pupils shrank suddenly.

Gu Lu appeared on the list of nominees, both in the process of cleaning up and unexpectedly.

Based on Gu Lu's current achievements, it is reasonable to be nominated for the Morningside Mathematics Prize, or even directly win the Morningside Mathematics Prize.

Because Gu Lu's strength is fully worthy of this award.

However, the reason why it was unexpected was because everyone did not expect such a quick reaction from the Morningside Mathematics Prize judging committee.

The Morningside Prize in Mathematics, like the Fields Medal, is awarded every four years.

It stands to reason.

The list of nominees for the Morningside Mathematics Prize should have been drawn up as early as June this year.

And in June of this year, Gu Lu at that time was just a mathematician with only a small reputation.

In other words, Gu Lu's name was definitely not on the nomination list at that time.

Then came the International Congress of Mathematicians.

Gu Lu was born!

Incredibly fast rise!

This happened in mid-September.

There are just over two months left before the Morningside Mathematics Prize is awarded.

Everyone thought that the Morningside Mathematics Prize Organizing Committee would maintain the original list of nominees.

Let Gu Lu participate in the next Morningside Math Prize selection.

After all, in the next session, Gu Lu was only 28 years old, which was still very young.

It's not too late to award the Morningside Mathematics Prize to Gu Lu in the next session.

In this way, the chance to win the prize can also be given to the veteran mathematicians who are almost too old to be limited.

Something that kills multiple birds with one stone.

But to the surprise of everyone.

The Morningside Mathematics Award Organizing Committee finally added Gu Lu's name.

This means that most of the five winners of this year's Morningside Mathematics Prize will have one Gu Lu.

And also......

Gu Lu's name appeared on the list of nominations.

That means that there is a mathematician who was originally going to be nominated, but he was squeezed out by Gu Lu.

Fortunately.

Except for the nine members of the review committee, the outside world did not know who the mathematician who was squeezed off the list by Gu Lu was.

Otherwise, Gu Lu may not be at peace during this time.

To be honest, many people said they couldn't understand this operation of the Morningside Mathematics Award Organizing Committee.

…………

Magic City, the headquarters of the Morningside Math Prize.

The person in charge of the organizing committee looked at these questioning comments on the forum and couldn't say anything.

They also wanted to give this award to Gu Lu this year.

But no!

Because it is a very unwise operation to let Gu Lu participate in the award ceremony of the next Morningside Mathematics Prize.

The Morningside Prize in Mathematics, like the Fields Medal, is held every four years.

And as it happens, both awards were presented in the same year.

And the Fields Medal was presented before the Morningside Mathematics Prize.

Generally speaking.

The Fields Medal is presented at the International Congress of Mathematicians in September.

The Morningside Mathematics Prize was awarded in December of the same year.

According to the current development momentum of Gu Lu.

Four years later, as long as nothing else, the Fields Medal will most likely be won by Gu Lu.

And at that time, they will award the Morningside Mathematics Prize to Gu Lu.

What did that become?

It has become an existence that deliberately caters to Gu Lu.

It has become an award in the eyes of everyone.

At that time, the Morningside Mathematics Prize will certainly not be much better at home and abroad.

It may even shake the status of the first prize in the Chinese mathematics community!

So......

The Morningside Prize in Mathematics will never be awarded to Gu Lu.

Or, it will be awarded to Gu Lu this year!

Between the two, the Morningside Mathematics Prize Organizing Committee chose the latter.

Because this can also establish a good relationship with Gu Lu.

The former is to completely offend Gu Lu to death.

Therefore, in this dilemma, the organizing committee of the Morningside Mathematics Award finally decided to add Gu Lu's name to this year's nomination list.

A panel of judges will be organized to vote for this year's award winners in the list of nominees.

"Well, I hope that in four years, you will understand our good intentions. Looking at the questioning remarks on the forum, the person in charge of the Morningside Mathematics Prize organizing committee sighed helplessly.

…………

Gu Lu, who is obsessed with subject research, of course does not know that these things are happening in the outside world.

After returning from Bao Songquan's office that time, Gu Lu put this matter behind him for the time being.

In addition to eating and sleeping every day and solving physiological problems, the rest of the time is either in class or studying topics with Simon.

in the office of the institute.

The blackboards hanging on the walls on both sides were written and erased by Gu Lu and Simon, wiped and written.

Scratch paper for calculations filled four or five large cardboard boxes.

It is estimated that just selling waste paper can sell for a lot of money.

The original manuscript of the paper, Gu Lu, has written more than 100 pages.

But the overall progress is only about 30 percent.

It is estimated that if all of them are done, the length of the paper may reach three or four hundred pages.

A terrifying length!

this day.

Gu Lu was discussing a key issue with Simon at the conference table in the office of the research institute, when a few beeps came from the laptop next to him.

"Got an email?" Simon asked, pausing his discussion.

"It should be, I'll see. "Gu Lu thought it was spam for selling films.

But turning around the computer and looking, Gu Lu found that this was not the case.

The sender of the mail is a journal.

An academic journal – Physical Review Letters!

This is the top journal of physics that Gu Lu submitted half a month ago.

Submitted article: "Unambiguous Identification of Carbon Location on the N Site in Semi-insulating GaN".

It is the paper that determined the specific lattice position of the C impurity in GaN wide bandgap semiconductors.

Gu Lu didn't expect the review efficiency of this journal to be so high.

It was only half a month before I received a reply email.

Gu Lu rubbed his hands and manipulated the mouse to open the email.

In the email, there is only a very simple line of words.

“Your paper has been accepted！”

Papers were included.

A happy smile appeared on Gu Lu's face.

Gu Lu was happy not that the paper was included in this journal, but that the reviewer directly gave Gu Lu a pass, and did not let Gu Lu make minor or major changes.

Because if the paper still needs to be revised, Gu Lu really doesn't have that time.
