Chapter 470

The International Geometry Symposium continues.

However, the news that Cheng Nuo solved the two major problems of the minimalist program in one fell swoop at the report meeting was spread by the reporters in the venue for the first time.

So, the geometric world shook again!

The two major problems of the minimalist program have been solved, and the significance of its representation is needless to say.

Now, everyone in the outside world is just waiting for someone to announce the correctness of Cheng Nuo's settlement process.

Once it is confirmed that these two major problems have been successfully solved, many graduate students and mathematicians who can't wait will devote their enthusiasm to this untapped fertile soil.

Cheng Nuo submitted two papers to the Annals of Mathematics of the Institute for Advanced Mathematics in Princeton, which is considered to be the most influential journal in the field of mathematics in the industry.

The efficiency of the Annals of Mathematics is also very fast.

That night, they publicly announced on their official website that Cheng Nuo's paper did not have mathematical errors after being verified by five reviewers in their journal.

Many mathematicians who saw this news didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

But in any case, the solution of the two major problems is beneficial to the development of the geometric world.

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

On the second day of the conference, Cheng Nuo stayed in the building of the headquarters of the Mathematical Society all day to listen to the academic report.

There are nearly 30 invited speakers, and the content of the academic reports is also varied, covering almost all directions in the field of geometry.

And all the people who can be invited to the stage to give a report are bigwig-level figures.

Staying here and listening to a one-day report meeting is better than doing research behind closed doors for a month.

The last lecture was given by a mathematician from China.

This is also a bigwig-level figure.

Zhou Yuanping, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, is currently the deputy director of the Institute of Mathematics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

At the same time, the eight Wiblen Prize winners mentioned by Cheng Nuo earlier are one of them.

Academician Zhou is a great expert in the field of algebraic geometry.

"Algebraic geometry" has always been a metaphor for the "battlefield of the gods" in the mathematical community, because this field brings together many elites in the mathematical community.

For example, Schultz, the winner of the last Philippine Prize, became famous because he published three top papers in the field of algebraic geometry.

Although Academician Zhou is not as good as Schultz, he can still occupy a place in the international field of algebraic geometry.

Of course, because yesterday Cheng Nuo solved the two problems of the minimum model program of algebraic geometry in one go, he was also officially recognized by the international algebraic geometry bigwigs.

Academician Zhou's presentation was on the base domain of nonsingular algebraic clusters.

From shallow to deep, the derivation from the contractile state of the polar surface of a non-singular algebraic cluster to the surface beam of the base domain is described.

It was already past 6 p.m. at the end of the briefing.

Just as he was about to walk outside the auditorium with the flow of people, he noticed that someone tapped him on the shoulder.

A hearty laugh came from behind him, "Professor Cheng, aren't you waiting for me!"

Turning around, the person who spoke was none other than Academician Zhou Yuanping, who had just finished his academic report.

Cheng Nuo lowered his eyebrows and lowered his head, and said politely, "Old Zhou, how dare the kid." ”

"Hey, don't be so restrained!" Academician Zhou walked out with Cheng Nuo and joked, "I won't eat you again, but I still have something to ask you for." ”

"Oh?" Cheng Nuo was stunned, "I don't know what Old Zhou commanded?"

Academician Zhou squinted, "Don't worry, don't worry, you haven't eaten yet, right, let's find a place to talk slowly." ”

Academician Zhou is not used to eating Western food.

So the two took a taxi to a famous Chinese restaurant nearby.

Before the meal came up, Cheng Nuo asked the waiter to serve a pot of tea first.

"It's okay to stay abroad and live abroad in the past few years, right?" Academician Zhou was the first to speak.

Cheng Nuo took a sip of tea, "It's okay." ”

Academician Zhou nodded, "Indeed." Since last September, I've been hearing from you almost every once in a while. ”

"The youngest winner of the Wiblen Prize!" Academician Zhou accentuated, followed by a wry smile, with a helpless look in his eyes, "I think that at the beginning, I almost fought half of my life in order to win the Wiblen Award. But you're good enough to pocket it easily. ”

"Actually, when it comes to proving Jacoby's conjecture, I'm not so easy. Cheng Nuo weakly retorted.

"You don't have to explain. Academician Zhou was a little heartbroken, "Actually, after listening to your report yesterday, I knew that we are basically two types of people. ”

"What we mathematicians think of as a problem, on your side, is just an ordinary problem that can be solved in a simple and time-consuming manner. Academician Zhou told the truth in one sentence.

"Forget it, don't talk about this, the more you talk about it, the more uncomfortable it becomes. Academician Zhou straightened his face, "Let's talk about business." ”

Academician Zhou stared at Cheng Nuo and asked in a slow tone, "Cheng Nuo, do you have any thoughts of returning to China?"

"Returning to China?" Cheng Nuo was stunned.

"Yes, go back to China!" Academician Zhou looked solemn.

"You also know that the status of our Chinese mathematics in the world's mathematics community, although it has been improving in recent years, there is still a big gap in the speed of development compared with Yingmi and other mathematical powers, so there is an urgent need for excellent mathematicians like Cheng Nuo to inject fresh blood into the mathematics community in China!"

Professor Zhou looked embarrassed, "Although I know that MIT has hired you as a full professor. This time, because you solved the two major problems of the minimalist program in one fell swoop, they will increase the inclination of resources for you after you go back, but I think I still have to fight for it, I hope ......"

"Old Zhou, you don't need to say it. Cheng Nuo raised his head and said with a smile, "I'll go back to China!"

"Before I went abroad, I said that I would definitely come back to serve the motherland after completing my studies. Now it just so happens that the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has not arranged a project for me for a long time, so I simply ignore them. I'll go back to China with you. Cheng Nuo's tone was resolute.

Academician Zhou waved his hand with a smile, "Cheng Nuo, don't be so anxious. We still have plenty of time. ”

"And, a month later. The country's third thousand-person plan is about to be launched, and it is not too late to return to China at that time, and by the way, you can also earn some benefits. Academician Zhou, who received Cheng Nuo's affirmative answer, was in a very good mood, so he told Cheng Nuo the truth.

Cheng Nuo nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Then where are you going to go after returning to China? Why don't you come to our Chinese Academy of Sciences? Academician Zhou proposed. "With your ability, and after a few years of qualifications, it is not impossible to be rated as an academician. ”

Cheng Nuo smiled bitterly, "Old Zhou, I appreciate your kindness, but Tsinghua is my alma mater after all." ”

"I understand, I understand. Academician Zhou was not a forced attitude, "Just follow your heart." ”

Academician Zhou knew that the role of letting Cheng Nuo stay at Tsinghua University was much greater than that of staying at the Institute of Mathematics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
