Chapter 315: Professor Tang's Surprise
Chapter 315
At ten o'clock, the award ceremony began.
There are five nominees for each year's Chern Prize in Mathematics.
But in the end, there are only two people who can successfully win this award and add that strong stroke to their resumes.
The award ceremony is not a direct award ceremony, before that, there is an important link - academic report!
There will be three outstanding young mathematicians who will have the opportunity to stand in front of more than 200 mathematicians and give a 30-minute academic report to explain their achievements and views in the field of mathematics.
Of course, these three young mathematicians were not among the five recipients of the Chern Prize in Mathematics.
In terms of the current level of mathematics alone, it may not be as good as the five nominees, but it has great potential.
Someone once made a statistic that almost half of the mathematicians who have reported on the Chern Prize in Mathematics will win national or even world mathematics awards in the next ten years.
Today, the three mathematicians who are qualified to give presentations at this academic conference are all extremely legendary figures in the mathematical circle.
Fu Qiang, Min Zhu, He Xie.
Here are the names of the three of them.
Two of them studied in the Department of Mathematics of Peking University and one studied in the Department of Mathematics of Tsinghua University.
When they went to the United States to continue their studies, the three of them were studying for a doctorate at Princeton University.
After returning to China, they have made considerable contributions in their respective fields.
And, in terms of age, all three of them are only 28 years old, and their future potential is unlimited, and it is not an exaggeration to call them the "golden generation" of Chinese mathematics.
The first person to come up and deliver a report was He Xie, who studied in the Department of Mathematics of Tsinghua University and was also Cheng Nuo's direct senior.
He Xie's research interests include number theory, automorphism, L-functions, trace formulas, representation theory, and algebraic geometry. But unlike those who only seek breadth and do not seek refinement, although they are involved in a wide range of fields, He Xie has made not small achievements in every field. That's why he's here today.
In this 30-minute academic presentation, He Xie selected algebraic geometry in several fields he was involved in and published some of his latest research results.
"Recently, I've been talking about algebraic geometry cohomology groups and I've found everything interesting that I can share with you. ā
He Xie, dressed in a suit, stood on the stage at the front of the auditorium, facing the gaze of more than 200 colleagues in the mathematics field, but did not have any nervous looks, but looked very calm and calm, and talked eloquently.
ā...... From this, I discovered another application of the A-S exponential theorem to quaternion projective space cohomology groups, that is, cohomology groups that can be used to calculate quaternion projective spaces as well as lens spaces. ā
"In addition, the spectral order problem of Cech dicomplex can also be reflected in cohomology groups of algebraic geometry, such as ......"
What He Xie talked about can be said to be the most cutting-edge problem in the field of algebraic geometry. And what he is talking about, if he is not specialized in this field, even those doctoral students will find it difficult to understand.
In the second row, Professor Tang turned his head, his eyes fell on Cheng Nuo, who looked serious and listened intently to He Xie's narration on the stage.
"Boy, you listen so carefully, can you really understand?" Professor Tang asked aloud.
"I can understand part of it. Cheng Nuo smiled.
"Part of it, how much?" Professor Tang asked.
"Seventy or eighty percent. Cheng Nuo didn't say too much.
"Huh!" Professor Tang was so angry that his beard almost cocked, "You kid think I don't understand anything, do you?" Although I study number theory, I still know a lot about the cutting-edge things in the rest of the fields. ā
"I have understood what the little guy He Xie said on the stage, and it is difficult for even those newly graduated doctoral students to understand, but you, a freshman kid, say that he can understand seventy or eighty percent?"
Faced with Professor Tang's questioning, Cheng Nuo could only smile bitterly.
At this time, He Xie also ended his report and walked off the stage amid the applause of everyone.
Professor Fang, who heard the conversation between the two just now, smiled and relieved Cheng Nuo, no, or to correct Cheng Nuo's name.
Professor Fang smiled and said, "Cheng Nuo, tell Professor Tang what you just heard." ā
"Uh......" Cheng Nuo was stunned for a moment, and then reluctantly spoke, "Okay." ā
"Just now, Senior He mainly talked about algebraic geometric cohomology groups, and at the same time used the A-S exponential theorem to derive three theorems in the quaternion projective space. ā
"Theorem 1: H'(X,Z)~H0(X,C'(X))/exp......"
"When he deduced this theorem, he used to set X as a complex manifold, Cs(X) represents the bud layer of the complex smooth function on X, and then used a Hk(x,g) to represent the upper layer of X......"
Let's go, let's go~~
Because the second senior Fu Qiang, who made a report, was about to appear on the stage, Cheng Nuo spoke quickly, for fear of delaying something. As a mathematician, Professor Tang can naturally easily keep up with Cheng Nuo's speed.
However, the more he listened, the more surprised Professor Tang became.
It's not because what Cheng Nuo said is exactly the same as what He Xie said on stage just now.
If it was just that, it would only prove that Cheng Nuo's memory was stronger than ordinary people, and it would not make Professor Tang's expression so solemn.
But...... When Cheng Nuo recounted He Xie's speech, he made a certain degree of processing and modification according to his own understanding.
Delete things that are too redundant, and things that are very important but have been brought by He Xie's sentence, and use their own organizational formulas to make up for them.
That's really ...... It's terrifying!
If it were a mathematician of his level who did this, Professor Tang would certainly not be too surprised.
Because that's what they do.
But now, this operation, which is a routine operation for them, appears in the case of students who are only a freshman, and that is ...... It's amazing!
"The third theorem, which is about the Lerry spectrum sequence {Es,ds},Sā„1 corresponding to the Cech double complex, is a long sequence ......"
Just as Cheng Nuo was about to finish, Senior Fu Qiang on the stage began his academic report work.
Professor Tang wanted to open his mouth to ask Cheng Nuo something, but seeing Cheng Nuo's serious expression, he swallowed back the words he had just spoken.
"Lao Fang, I've lost my eyes, this kid is really a demon that is rare to see in a hundred years. Professor Tang whispered to the other professor.
Professor Fang nodded and smiled, "So, do you know why I brought him here the first time?"
"Because only the academic level here can give full play to the potential of his brain as much as possible!"
The second senior Fu Qiang to appear on the stage mainly talked about problems related to nonlinear equations.
Suddenly, Cheng Nuo, who was listening to Fu Qiang's explanation on the stage, suddenly lit up when he heard a certain sentence.
