Chapter 138: Questions and Answers (20,000 plus more)
Wiles in the audience laughed the most, Lu Qiujian's closing remarks were exactly the same as when he finished his lecture on Fermat's theorem, and someone next to him said something, presumably remembering the scene in Cambridge during the tenth year.
The other Princeton professors were a little regretful that the results of Wiles and Lu Qiujian were all completed in Princeton, but one of the presentations was placed in Cambridge and the other in Beijing Normal University; but in an instant they were relieved that their attachment to their alma mater was a natural thing, and besides, this would not in any way weaken the glory of Princeton; in a short period of ten years, two major mathematical problems were overcome in Princeton, and the position of the world's number one mathematical university was once again consolidated.
Perelman, Hamilton, Smale, Thurston and Yau Chengtong and other scholars who have studied the Poincaré conjecture were the most sincere, and they were the only ones present who could best understand the significance and essence of Lu Qiujian's paper.
The president of Beijing Normal University and Professor Zhang and others applauded and clapped their hands to red, which is a rare honor for the academic community of Beijing Normal University and even the entire Chinese universities.
"Okay, everyone! Mr. Lu Qiujian is already very tired, and it just now is lunch time, so you might as well ask questions after eating!" Seeing that everyone was eager to try, the president of Beijing Normal University, who was the host, hurriedly picked up the microphone, "In addition, we have printed enough of the papers for this report, please go to the door in order to pick them up!"
It was only at this time that everyone realized that it had been so long before they knew it, so they had to bury their doubts in their hearts and slowly walk towards the door with the crowd, where smiling and elegant volunteers handed them beautifully printed paper booklets one by one.
Some anxious people stopped at the door and couldn't wait to look at it, until a dissatisfied voice came from behind them, they realized that they were in the way, and quickly apologized and retreated to the side.
Minister Zhang hurriedly commanded the photographer specially borrowed from the TV station to record this precious moment with his lens, and was secretly proud in his heart, they all said that 500 copies were enough, but they insisted on printing more. Now it seems that my persistence is really right!
"Congratulations, Mr. Lu! Your report has opened my eyes!" This title seems a little awkward, but who made Lu Qiujian too young to get the title of professor!
"This is the most glorious page in the history of mathematics in the 21st century! I am proud to have listened to your report with my own ears!"
"The 21st century has only passed for less than three years, and more glorious pages are yet to come!" Lu Qiujian thanked them for his greetings.
"Mr. Lu, the elder and the prime minister asked you to come over!" A secretary-like person whispered to Lu Qiujian's ear, and Lu Qiujian hurriedly said sorry to the crowd around him, and followed him towards the elder's location.
"Xiao Lu, congratulations!" As soon as he walked over, the elder cordially stretched out his hand and shook Lu Qiujian. "Congratulations on your achievements this time, which have given the world a taste of the demeanor of our Chinese scientists! I hope to make persistent efforts and make greater achievements in my future work!"
"Thank you for your teaching!" Lu Qiujian nodded in response, and then the vice premier and the leaders of the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Chinese Mathematical Society and other departments also shook hands with him one by one and encouraged him.
The principal looked at Lu Qiujian nervously on the side, for fear that he would say something inappropriate, but when he saw that his language was appropriate, he did not show the slightest arrogance before he put his mind at ease; after these leaders finished talking with Lu Qiujian, they hurried forward and issued an invitation to stay at Beijing Normal University for dinner, but the elders and vice premiers left first because they were busy with work, and the rest were full of promises.
When the elders and the deputy prime minister are out of the house. The vice premier suddenly leaned into the elder's ear and said something, the elder's footsteps slowed down slightly, looked back at Lu Qiujian, and then nodded slightly. It seems that a certain proposal of the deputy prime minister was agreed.
At noon, even though the university had borrowed high-class chefs from the time-honored hotels in the neighborhood to make only exquisite Chinese cuisine, how many of these mathematicians had the heart to taste it? While excitedly exchanging his views on this seminar.
When I returned to the hotel for lunch break after eating, I couldn't fall asleep while lying on the bed, my mind was full of Lu Qiujian's voice and the pages of proof on the curtain.
I managed to make it to the beginning of the noon meeting. They couldn't wait to come to the lecture hall and go through the questions they had prepared in their minds over and over again.
The presentation continued, and when the moderator announced that he could start asking questions, he raised countless arms at the same time as he swiped it, and the moderator glanced around and pointed to a familiar face, "Professor John Mogan of Columbia University, please ask a question." ”
"Thank you!" Professor Magan took the microphone, "I have dedicated my life as a mathematician to the Poincaré conjecture, and I never thought I would see a solution. I thought no one would be able to do it, but luckily you made the final proof, but I have a question, how did you come up with this solution to the singularity?"
"It all started with my family. Lu Qiujian did not need to translate the results in the same voice, and began to answer Professor Mogan's questions, "I grew up in the family area of a large factory, and when I was a child, I would always wander around the factory after school. I was very impressed with the skillful manipulation of the rough edges, and when I got the paper, I wondered if I could solve the singularity problem in this way? And I found my hammer and the cutter and the welding torch, which is the Richi flow, the Ricci flow applied to the three-dimensional space, and it starts to flatten and smooth it out."
After ten minutes of answering Professor Mogan's question, Professor Mogan sat down contentedly, and more arms were raised.
"Professor Oskar von Rozenthal from Humboldt University, I would like to ask you a question!"
"Hello, what I would like to ask is"
"Thank you for your answer!"
"Professor Napier from Trinity College, Cambridge, please!"
"Professor Shinichi Mochizuki from Kyoto University, please!"
"Please speak your question, Professor Suvalov of Moscow University!"
One by one, the names of the international mathematics community were pointed out by the host, and Lu Qiujian asked one difficult and obscure question after another. (To be continued.) )
