It wasn't just Lu Zhou who was stunned.

And everyone in this room.

In particular, the journalists who were ambushed on both sides of the venue were like sharks that smelled fishy, and their eyes were shining when they looked at the podium.

This year's meeting of the Federal Mathematical Society broke the convention and awarded the Kohl Number Theory Prize and the Kohl Algebra Prize at the same time!

Proper big news!

The applause was delayed for two seconds, and as sporadic sounds pierced the silence of the room, the applause swept through the audience like a storm.

Sitting next to Lu Zhou, Luo Wenxuan applauded excitedly and said, "I'll just say, this medal is definitely yours!" ”

Lu Zhou smiled, not knowing how to respond.

was sold by Old Man Francis for such a pass, and he has not yet recovered.

MMP, he forgot the acceptance speech he had been thinking about for months!

Many people were surprised by the decision of the Federal Mathematical Society, but no one objected.

This is the best option.

Schultz, who stood up, was obviously stunned, but he also smiled and gave a congratulatory applause to Lu Zhou, who got up later.

The applause gradually subsided.

Sitting on the other side of the room, Professor Deligne's expression was a little surprised.

After a long while, he opened his mouth to make his own assessment.

"The Federal Mathematical Society has made a bold decision."

"Yes, the award of both the number theory prize and the algebra prize is unique in the history of the Cole Prize." Edward Witten smiled and said slowly, "And the two winners are still so young. ”

One is twenty-eight years old and the other is twenty-one years old, which can be said to be quite young.

For those of the older generation of scholars, it is naturally gratifying to see so many young talents emerging in their fields of study.

But this kind of feeling is obviously not shared by everyone.

"It seems that Francis is ready for criticism and questioning," Deligne said. ”

Witten smiled and said, "Anyway, he should almost retire next year, right?" I would have made the same choice. After all, in the future, it can be regarded as a good story. ”

Amid applause, the two geniuses walked onto the podium together.

Director of the Federal Mathematical Society. Siffrens personally handed the medal into the hands of the two and shook hands with them with a smile.

"Congratulations! Two young scholars, I wish you all the best in the future! ”

"So, at this exciting time, please feel free to share your thoughts."

With that, Francis gave up the microphone and made a gesture of please, motioning for the two winners to give their acceptance speeches.

There are many awards in the field of algebra, and the Cole Prize is not the most famous. However, in the field of number theory, the Kohl Prize is definitely the jewel in the crown.

Previously, there has been a heated discussion in the academic community about who this year's Cole Prize will be awarded.

Whether to award the number theory prize for two consecutive years, or to insist on the algebra prize as is customary, let the young mathematical genius wait until three years later. If it is the former, Schultz's results are impossible to ignore, but if the latter is chosen, the judges who study number theory are not satisfied.

The main reason is that the twin prime conjecture and the Polygnac conjecture add up to too heavy. Many professors have studied number theory all their lives, and the results produced are only supplements to the achievements of their predecessors, and it is difficult to make breakthrough changes.

When Lu Zhou proved the twin prime conjecture, he cited the topological theory of the sieve method supplemented by his predecessors, which can be regarded as an improvement of the research work of his predecessors. In less than a year, he came up with his own method - the "group construction method".

The progress in this is jaw-dropping!

The two winners delivered their acceptance speeches respectively, and in a round of applause, the highlight of the award was also over.

As the curtain came down on the opening ceremony, the mathematicians in the audience left one after another, while the reporters swarmed up against the crowd, turning their microphones and cameras at the two award winners.

One reporter asked, "Hello, I'm a reporter from the Los Angeles Times, may I ask Mr. Schultz, what are you going to do when you get this bonus?" ”

"Buy my wife a few nice dresses Schultz laughs, and the children's milk powder ......," he smiled, and said humorously, "and, of course, a new pair of leather shoes for myself." ”

The camera clicks to take pictures.

A reporter from the Los Angeles Times shorthand in his notebook wrote the headline for tomorrow's news.

Peter Schultz, a good man in mathematics!

Lu Zhou, who was standing next to him, glanced at this mathematical genius in surprise.

Hold the grass?!

Even have a child?

Everyone is engaged in mathematics, they are all young people in their twenties, why are you so good?

The other winner was also not left behind.

Rather, the reporters are much more interested in this Chinese laureate who suddenly appeared in the field of vision than this German academic god who has been blown into the sky.

In particular, the age of this winner is only 21 years old, which is the youngest age of a Cole Award winner!

It's big news that breathes!

The reporter of the British "Daily Mail" seized the opportunity, and the blonde and blue-eyed big sister took the lead in asking: "May I ask Mr. Lu Zhou, what are you going to do after you get this bonus?" ”

As soon as he heard this question, Lu Zhou subconsciously wanted to answer "save up and buy a house", after all, his father always chattered with him like this.

But then he thought that it seemed a bit political to answer in public. If the treatment is not correct, it will definitely be used to make a fuss when he goes back, so he had an idea, cleared his throat, and said seriously.

"I'm going to use this money as a research grant and start challenging the next conjecture!"

The reporter's eyes lit up and he continued to ask: "May I ask your next goal?" ”

"Goldbach conjecture is a good choice," Lu Zhou said with a smile, "but it's not good, after all, I've been paying attention to the 750GeV signal recently, and there are also a lot of topics worth digging into in mathematics and physics, and this may tie up some of my energy." ”

The reporters gathered around let out a small exclamation.

Goldbach conjecture!

Characteristic peak of 750GeV!

Although Goldbach's conjecture is less important and valuable than the millennial problem, it can be treated as one of the "three major mathematical problems of modern times", and its difficulty and influence are quite amazing! In particular, its influence in the minds of the public is no less than that of the millennial problem.

As for the characteristic peak of 750GeV, it is impossible for many reporters who do science column news to be unaware of the "750 incident" that was boiling in the middle of the year.

An intern mathematically predicted the characteristic peak of 750 GeV at the presentation, and the spokesperson of the press conference has blown this discovery into a beacon that illuminates the last piece of the puzzle of the Standard Model!

Don't......

What major discoveries did the discoverer of the 750GeV characteristic peak make?

Lu Zhou gave the reporters another problem.

The amount of information is a bit large, and this news headline is really hard to write.

Watching the Daily Mail reporter write and scratch in his notebook, and stroke and write, Lu Zhou silently thought of a sin in his heart.

Shut your mouth for a moment, this cowhide seems to be blowing a little big.

He's not a Hadron Collider, and even if he makes any discoveries, he can't come out of him.

Let's hope these journalists don't read too much.
