Chapter 494

The process of the Fields Medal award ceremony is that the chairman of the Executive Committee first announces the winners. Medals and prizes are then awarded by dignitaries of the host country (local mayor, president of the host national academy of sciences, or king, president) or by the chairman of the jury or by a well-known mathematician.

Finally, a number of authoritative mathematicians briefly evaluated the main mathematical achievements of the winners one by one.

This time it was the mayor of the city of Sydney who was responsible for presenting the Fields Medal medals.

Cheng Nuo and the other three mathematicians were awarded the Golden Medal of the Philippines with a relief of Archimedes' head.

After taking a group photo, Cheng Nuo and the four retreated to the side.

Several older mathematicians took the stage and began to give a brief overview of the biographies and mathematical achievements of the four Filipino Prize winners.

"Cheng Nuo, male, 24 years old. He is currently a professor at the School of Mathematics at Tsinghua University and the deputy director of the Institute of Mathematics at Tsinghua University. He studied at Tsinghua University as an undergraduate student, studied at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as a graduate student, and then transferred to the University of Cambridge to pursue a master's degree. ”

During his graduate studies at the University of Cambridge, he was unusually promoted to a full fellow at the Institute of Mathematics and Physics at the University of Cambridge, and graduated as a doctoral student three months after returning to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In the same year, he was hired as an associate professor in the School of Mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. ”

In January of the following year, he was awarded the title of full professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In August, he was hired by Tsinghua University and returned to China as a professor in the School of Mathematics. ”

"Major mathematical achievements: in 2022, the proof of the weak BSD conjecture and the proposal of Cheng Nuo's theorem!In 2023, the proof of the Jacobi conjecture! In 2024, the proposal and proof of Cheng's complex loop conjecture, the proof of Taniyama Shimura's conjecture, and the solution of the minimum model program! In 2026, the proof of the BSD conjecture, the proposal of Albert's group theorem, the proposal of the algebraic periodic summation theorem, and the proposal of Cheng's imaginary point!"

"Awards: Wiblen Prize, Clay Prize in Mathematical Sciences, Ramanujan Prize, Morningside Prize in Mathematics!"

It's a luxurious resume.

Although everyone in the audience had known that Cheng Nuo had made outstanding achievements, they were still surprised when these achievements were listed in front of them one by one.

From 2022, Cheng Nuo will show his prominence, and by 2026, Cheng Nuo will win the Philippine Award medal.

It's only been four years!

However, Cheng Nuo's achievements in the field of mathematics are much more luxurious than those of several other Filipino Prize winners.

Ten mathematical achievements, each of them, have caused a huge sensation in the mathematical community.

Professor Johnny, a nearly 70-year-old Philippine Prize winner from Sweden, made this assessment of Cheng Nuo.

"This is one of the most talented mathematicians in the world since the beginning of the 21st century. In just four years, I have reached a height that most people can't reach in a lifetime. In this era, all the characters who claim to be geniuses will be eclipsed by his light. ”

"He is like the brightest star in the night sky, shining so brightly that no one can ignore his light. In the world of mathematics, he has stood at the top of the pyramid. But he is still very young, and he still has the ability to continue to move upwards and follow in the footsteps of those sages. I'm looking forward to whether there will be a mathematician like Euler and Gauss in our time!"

Professor Johnny's two paragraphs can be said to be a very high evaluation of Cheng Nuo.

Gauss and Euler are already gods in the mathematical world.

And Professor Johnny said that Cheng Nuo could become such a figure, which is a huge compliment.

Many of the following mathematicians disagree, but cannot find any reason to refute it.

Indeed, at his current age, Cheng Nuo has become one of the top people in the mathematical world.

If we can maintain our current state in the future, we may not be able to become a god in the mathematical world in a few decades!

Thinking like this, many people below became jealous again.

Seeing a mountain rise rapidly in front of them, they could only watch, this feeling was the most uncomfortable.

They just hope that Cheng Nuo's performance in the future will not be as evil as before.

Otherwise, under Cheng Nuo's successive blows, their hearts may not be able to bear it.

............

The awards are still ongoing.

Holding the medal and certificate, looking at the eyes of Dean Ding on the stage, Cheng Nuo smiled slightly.

Dean Ding also gave a thumbs up.

Although he had expected it for a long time, seeing this scene with his own eyes, Dean Ding was still extremely excited.

Fields Medal, this is a Fields Medal!

The Fields Medal, the highest honor in mathematics!

Since the establishment of this award, no mathematician with Chinese nationality has ever received this honor.

This is also the wound of everyone in the Chinese mathematics community.

But today, an authentic Chinese finally won this award.

It fills the gap in this award in the Chinese mathematics community.

At the same time, Cheng Nuo also broke a record.

At the age of 24, Cheng Nuo became the youngest Filipino Award winner in history.

Before that, the youngest Filipino Prize winner was 29 years old.

Dean Ding was so happy that he kept grinning.

Cheng Nuo's winning the award is not only a blessing for Huaguo, but also a blessing for Tsinghua University!

In last year's World University Rankings for Mathematics, Tsinghua University was ranked only 78th in the world.

But after updating the list at the end of the year, with the blessing of the Philippine Awards, it should not be a problem to enter the top 50.

In addition to Cheng Nuo, the mainstay of Tsinghua University of Mathematics, such as Zhang Wei and Zhiwei, these golden generation mathematicians, under the drive of Cheng Nuo, the growth rate is also extremely amazing.

............

After nearly half an hour of tossing, the Fields Medal ceremony finally ended.

In a series of compliments, Cheng Nuo returned to his seat.

Rubbing the gold medal in his hand, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Cheng Nuo's mouth.

Winning the Philippine Award finally fulfilled a wish in his heart.

It can be regarded as a reward for my hard work before!

After the award of the Philippine Prize, the opening ceremony of the International Congress of Mathematicians can be regarded as the end.

President Manel walked up to the stage and said some words of encouragement again before closing the opening ceremony.

From the afternoon to the end of the week, a total of 241 invited speakers gave academic presentations in the sub-venues.

Cheng Nuo was also invited to give an academic presentation.

After winning the Philippine Award, he can now be regarded as a big man.

If you give an academic report to a big man of his level, the report time will generally be arranged in the first few or last few sessions.

Therefore, the time of Cheng Nuo's academic report is in the afternoon a week later.

There is plenty of time, and Cheng Nuo has already prepared, so there is no need to be too anxious.

It just so happens that you can also take this opportunity to listen to a few more lectures.

At the last International Congress of Mathematicians, he was forced to run away in advance without listening to a few academic reports, and this time, he must have listened to enough.

So, from the afternoon, Cheng Nuo's figure shuttled back and forth in different branch venues.
