Chapter 482

Cheng's discovery of the imaginary point made Zhang Wei's work progress suddenly speed up several times.

A week later, the second piece of the puzzle that proved BSD's conjecture was completed by Cheng Nuo and Zhang Wei.

Progress 2/3.

The BSD conjecture is far from proving once and for all, and only one piece of the puzzle is left - the Abelian cluster!

It is also the most difficult piece of the three-piece puzzle to solve.

The first two pieces of the puzzle, elliptic curves and modal commutation groups, are more difficult to derive, but not too complicated.

However, Abelian clusters are not only quite difficult, but also require an extremely large amount of computation.

It takes a water mill.

Cheng Nuo knew that if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, so he didn't rush too much.

The current progress, Cheng Nuo is already quite satisfied.

Originally, Cheng Nuo expected the research period to take at least two years, but now it seems that it may take more than a year to complete the proof of the BSD conjecture.

Cheng Nuo's life has once again returned to its former regularity.

At the beginning of June, Zhang Minghua was the first to submit his doctoral dissertation to Cheng Nuo.

Zhang Minghua originally studied the direction of algebraic geometry.

I don't know if it's to deliberately curry favor with him, but the topics of Zhang Minghua's graduation thesis research are the two major problems of the minimalist program proposed by Cheng Nuo last year.

Since the two major problems of the minimalist program were solved by Cheng Nuo last year, the papers in this direction have been blowing out in just one year.

Regardless of Zhang Minghua's purpose, the quality of the dissertation is still acceptable, enough to meet the requirements of a doctoral dissertation.

Cheng Nuo briefly wrote down the revision opinions and asked Zhang Minghua to take them back for minor repairs.

And Fan Yi also took the finished graduation thesis to Cheng Nuo a few days later.

Cheng Nuo supervised the two students to refine their papers several times and suggested that they submit their papers to SCI journals for publication.

There is a mandatory requirement for doctoral graduates from the Department of Mathematics at Tsinghua University, that is, they must publish two or more papers in SCI journals in Region 2.

Zhang Minghua and Fan Yi have not written SCI papers before, but most of them are in the third and fourth districts.

However, Cheng Nuo guided them in the process of writing their graduation thesis, and Cheng Nuo helped them refine it several times after writing, and it has fully reached the level of the SCI thesis in the second district.

Cheng Nuo has a corresponding author of the paper, with his name, and the quality of the paper itself, unless the brains of the reviewers and editors are short-circuited, there is no possibility of rejection, at most it is to revise it a few times.

Cheng Nuo's statement that the writing of the doctoral dissertation would be completed within one year was completed ahead of schedule by Zhang Minghua and the others.

Sure enough, people are forced out!

More than half a year ago, when Cheng Nuo proposed this task, the two of them still hesitated, thinking that they could not complete it, but now, what is the result?

Not only did they finish, but they did it ahead of schedule.

According to the promise, Cheng Nuo asked the two to choose the path for the next two years.

Zhang Minghua's reason for staying was expected by Cheng Nuo, after all, this kid seemed to be planning to stick to himself in his life.

But to Cheng Nuo's surprise, Fan Yi also chose to stay in China.

Cheng Nuo knew that when Fan Yi was an undergraduate, he planned to go abroad for further study, but he didn't get an offer from Princeton, so he had to give up.

With Cheng Nuo's current energy, there is no problem at all in arranging Fan Yi to the Institute of Advanced Mathematics at Princeton University.

"Fan Yi, have you really decided?"

"Professor, I've decided!" Fan Yi's eyes were resolute.

Cheng Nuo smiled with satisfaction, "Since both of you have chosen to stay in school, then I respect your opinions." ”

"Next, I'm going to arrange the next stage of tasks for you, listen carefully. ”

These two are the first batch of students in the true sense of his own, and Cheng Nuo naturally has to do his best to cultivate them.

As for the next stage of the research project of the two, Cheng Nuo has been prepared for a long time.

Cheng's imaginary point is a good choice.

"Professor Cheng, what is this?" asked Fan Yi in confusion.

Cheng Nuo smiled mysteriously, "This is the result of my research some time ago. ”

Cheng Nuo handed one of the two documents to one.

"It's all about Cheng's imaginary point, you can understand the content after you go back, and three days later, I'll tell you the specific research content. ”

"Remember. The content of this document is very important, do not spread it to the outside world, and try to avoid being seen by others. Cheng Nuo's expression was serious.

Seeing Cheng Nuo's expression so serious, the two nodded their heads in agreement.

On the way back, Zhang Minghua and Fan Yi communicated in a whisper.

"Fan Yi, what did you say was in the document that the professor gave us, and what is that Cheng's virtual point?"

"I don't know, but it's something quite important. As for Cheng's imaginary point, I have never heard of this term. ”

"Alas, don't dwell on this, just go back and see if it's okay. ”

Half an hour later, he > Zhang Minghua: "Professor, my admiration for you is like a surging river, endless, and like the flooding of the Yellow River, out of control! In this life, you are my Zhang Minghua's only idol! @程诺"

Fan Yi: "I have also read the content of the document, and I can only say that I don't understand the world of the big guy!"

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

A few days later, Cheng Nuo had just finished talking with the two students and decided on a follow-up research topic on "Cheng's virtual dots".

Sitting back in his office chair, Cheng Nuo found himself receiving an unread email.

The email was sent by the editor-in-chief of an academic journal abroad.

The journal's name is "Advances in Theoretical Mathematics", headquartered in Sweden, with an impact factor of 10.54, and it is also in a relatively high position among SCI journals in the first region of mathematics.

And the content of the email is also very direct.

Editor-in-chief McSkel cordially invited Cheng Nuo to serve as a reviewer for Advances in Theoretical Mathematics.

This is an international practice.

Some well-known mathematics journals will invite some big names in the mathematics community to serve as reviewers.

In this way, it is not only conducive to improving the academic status of Da Niu himself, but also convenient for the magazine to screen out excellent journals, which can be said to be a win-win situation.

In general, the opinions of three reviewing editors are taken into account whether an academic paper submitted to a journal is approved.

Once Cheng Nuo becomes one of the review editors of "Progress in Theoretical Mathematics", he will have a great say.

This kind of discourse is not only useful at home, but also plays a huge role internationally.

As a result, it can be seen that many bigwigs hold reviewer positions for many academic journals at the same time.

For this kind of invitation, Cheng Nuo could not find any reason to refuse.

There are many reviewers for an international journal like Progress in Theoretical Mathematics, so Cheng Nuo's workload will not be very large.

On the same day, Cheng Nuo replied to the email of editor-in-chief McSchel, saying that he agreed to the invitation of the reviewer editor.

Academician Ding also learned for the first time that Cheng Nuo had become a reviewer of "Progress in Theoretical Mathematics".

Tsinghua School of Mathematics is not without people serving as review editors for SCI journals, but most of them are journals in the third and fourth regions.

Cheng Nuo's direct sudden becoming a review editor of a medium-sized SCI journal in the first district is indeed relatively rare, and it also means an advantage.

With the existence of Cheng Nuo, it will be more convenient to submit the paper to "Progress in Theoretical Mathematics" in the future.
