Chapter 1204: The Queen's Award

After all the winners received their medals, they took a group photo with the Queen of England on stage.

The flash flashed at a high frequency again, recording this historic moment for the first time.

In the next session, members of the ICM Organizer's Expert Committee took the stage to comment on the academic papers of the Fields Medal winners.

In fact, among the winners of this year's World Congress of Mathematicians, the level of papers of the other three is also quite high, and it can even be said that the gold content of the previous award-winning papers is much higher.

But the papers of the three of them were obviously a little overshadowed by Duan Yun's comparison.

In fact, Duan Yun only needs to take out any one of the two papers, which is enough to beat any paper in the field of mathematics in the world in the past few decades, and after these two papers are put together, Duan Yun will naturally become the absolute protagonist of this ICM conference.

Therefore, when several mathematicians from the expert committee came to the stage to comment, when they explained the papers of other servants, they basically understated and simply commented on them, and when they talked about Duan Yun's two papers, they were endless, and they were also extremely full of praise for Duan Yun's own talent.

Especially when these experts commented on the "Riemann Conjecture" written by Duan Yun just some time ago, it attracted the attention of all scientists on the scene, and many people even directly recorded the whole process of this paper with mobile phones or other audio and video recording equipment, which shows that this paper has caused a huge sensation in the world mathematics community.

The main reason why the "Hodman Conjecture" has attracted so much attention and attention compared with the "Hodge Conjecture" is that the paper "Hodge Conjecture" was published in the journal "Acta Mathematica" more than two months ago, during which mathematicians around the world have analyzed the paper in depth, so the popularity has decreased compared with the Riemann conjecture.

Duan Yun's paper on the Riemann conjecture was only completed last week, and because it takes time for the magazine and the organizing committee to review the expert group, it was officially announced at today's conference, and the actual difficulty of the Riemann conjecture is one grade higher than that of the Hodge conjecture, which is also one of the world's top ten problems, which can be called the highest peak in today's mathematical community, and it is natural that the degree of attention is high.

Duan Yun's paper on the stage attracted huge attention, and Duan Yun himself was also the focus of everyone present and the media.

The mathematicians sitting next to Duan Yun had already begun to exchange business cards with Duan Yun, and many media reporters also held their cameras one after another, ignoring the order of the venue, and stepped forward to take pictures of Duan Yun.

After the expert group on the stage finished commenting, it was already 11 o'clock in the morning, according to the statute of the conference, the opening ceremony in the morning was officially over, at the end of the opening ceremony, the conference announced the schedule of the report meeting in the next few days.

Generally speaking, the agenda of the World Congress of Mathematicians is about a week, except for the opening ceremony in the morning of the first day, the rest of the time is the time for mathematicians to give presentations.

However, among the scholars who were invited to give presentations, the 45-minute presentations were arranged in other sub-venues, and only the mathematicians who won the Fields Medal and were invited to give one-hour presentations were arranged to give presentations in the main venue, which is also a very high honor.

In addition, no matter what scholars, in principle, a conference can only have one opportunity to give a presentation, and since the establishment of ICM, the organizing committee has never made an exception for anyone.

But Duan Yun made ICM history this time.

When the organizing committee announced that Duan Yun would be invited to give a two-hour report at the main venue in the afternoon, the scene was suddenly full of exclamations, but soon, these exclamations turned into warm applause.

The reason why no one present raised any protest against the ICM organizers is very simple, that is, because the two papers that Duan Yun won this award are of very high level, which can be called a milestone in the history of mathematics, if there is only one hour of reporting time, it is completely impossible to completely explain such two important papers, so even if the ICM organizing committee breaks the century-old convention, these mathematicians present also feel that this is reasonable and completely acceptable!

Finally, the ICM Organizing Committee concluded the opening ceremony in the morning after announcing the arrangements for the conference report.

"Duan Yun, wait a minute!" Just as the morning conference was over and Duan Yun got up to leave the venue, Han Fang and several CCTV crew members came to Duan Yun.

"Well, let's go out and talk. Duan Yun saw that Han Fang wanted to interview him, so he said with a smile.

In an open space outside the venue, members of CCTV's film crew prepared equipment and prepared to start interviewing Duan Yun.

"This is going to be broadcast on the domestic evening news, so you must think about what you want to say. The host Han Fang reminded Duan Yun with a smile.

"Understood!" Duan Yun made an OK gesture.

The next moment, after the CCTV staff adjusted the microphone and camera, the interview officially began under Han Fang's signal.

"I'm Han Fang, a CCTV correspondent in London, UK, and I'm at Queen Margaery University, the venue of this World Congress of Mathematicians, in the heart of London. Han Fang spoke clearly, spoke skillfully, and obviously had a high level of professionalism, so she continued: "At the just-concluded World Congress of Mathematicians, my country's mathematician Duan Yun historically won the Fields Medal, the highest award of this conference, and it is also the first time that our Chinese mathematicians have won such a world-class academic award. ”

As Han Fang spoke, he handed the microphone in his hand to Duan Yun, and asked with a smile: "Hello Duan Yun, first of all, congratulations on winning the Fields Medal, the highest award of this conference, can you talk to us about your speech after winning the award?"

"I feel very excited. Duan Yun said with a smile.

"Is it that simple?" Han Fang smiled when she heard this, and then said, "On this glorious moment of winning today's award, do you have anything to say to your family, friends, and people who care about and help you?"

"To receive this award, I would first like to thank my mother, who has nurtured and nurtured me for so many years, so that I have the opportunity to receive today's honor. Duan Yun's tone was very sincere when he said this, he was a filial son, and naturally he would not forget his mother's huge contribution all year round, so when facing the camera, the first thing he mentioned was his mother.

Chinese people see the word 'filial piety' very seriously, Duan Yun thanked his mother first, and obviously won the favor of the public, which is very important to Duan Yun's image and reputation in the future.
