Peer reviewers of a major conjecture often do not strictly implement the double-blind principle as ordinary journal submissions, because there are so many people engaged in this field, and the problems found during the review process still need to be explained by Lu Zhou.

As soon as the report ended, Lu Zhou received the list of reviewers from the Annals of Mathematics.

Because the "Annals of Mathematics" is jointly operated by Princeton University and the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, its significance to Lu Zhou is probably similar to that of a "school journal" open to the outside world, so this list did not appear in his mailbox, but the editor-in-chief Evans personally delivered it to Lu Zhou.

“…… Your paper will be judged by six people, including Faltins, Helfgot, and Ivanets. Enjoy the evening banquet, starting tomorrow, some of you are busy. Evans said with a smile.

Faltins! Ivan Pintz!

Looking at this list, Lu Zhou's scalp tingled for a while.

It is understandable that Helfgot will appear on the list, after all, he also studied Goldbach's conjecture, and his understanding of the circle method can be said to be the first today, just like Chen Jingrun's method of the big sieve.

But Faltins, a big man in the algebraic geometry world, came to join in the fun......

Although he did use the methods of algebraic geometry to solve many problems in number theory.

Putting away the list, Lu Zhou coughed lightly: "...... I hope the bigwigs will show mercy. ”

"Mercy? No way, this is one of the crowns of analytic number theory," Evans laughed and patted Lu Zhou's arm, "Professor Sanaik of the Institute for Advanced Study is quite optimistic about your paper, so you can be a little more confident in yourself." I'm optimistic about you, come on! ”

Lu Zhou naturally knows who Professor Sanaik Evans is talking about, there are many professors surnamed Sanaike in Princeton, but there is only one famous, that is, Peter Sarnak, the editorial board member of the Annals of Mathematics, winner of the Wolf Prize in 14 years.

Although not as famous as the two bigwigs of Faltins and Ivanets, their authority in the field of number theory is beyond doubt.

However, due to various reasons such as avoiding suspicion, there is only one researcher from the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, but it is not Peter Sanek. However, the researcher of the École Supérieure de Paris occupies two places.

Actually, what Evans said is still not accurate enough.

Not from tomorrow, just after the end of this report meeting, Lu Zhou has already begun to be busy.

As soon as he left the No. 1 lecture hall of the Institute for Advanced Study, the reporters who had been in ambush for a long time chased after him.

"Mr. Lu Zhou, I'm a reporter for the Philadelphia Daily News, will you teach at Princeton? Will you return home? ”

Lu Zhou: "Of course, Huaguo is my motherland, and I will go back eventually." But at the same time, I also like the pure academic environment at Princeton, which is a great place to exchange academics, and if Princeton is willing to offer me a teaching position, I will certainly accept it. ”

"Hello, Mr. Lu Zhou, I am a reporter for the Daily Mail, how would you feel about your report?"

"Nervous, and excited...... So I need to rest now, very, very much. You can go and interview my supervisor, Professor Deligne, who has been very helpful to me and who knows my research very well......"

was made his scalp numb by the tricky questions thrown over by these reporters one after another, and Lu Zhou really couldn't resist it, so he resorted to his usual tricks to shake the pot.

However, he still didn't realize that this was just the beginning.

In the evening, the banquet at the Princeton Hotel, although nominally intended to provide an opportunity for scholars to meet and exchange ideas, has now completely turned into a celebration banquet for Lu Zhou held by the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study.

In addition to the ABC conjecture that no one understands for the time being, the solution of Goldbach's conjecture will undoubtedly be listed as one of the most important academic achievements after the Poincaré conjecture, and this achievement is still in the field of analytic number theory, which is the most difficult to achieve.

As soon as Lu Zhou appeared in the ballroom of the Princeton Hotel, he immediately became the focus of the audience.

Although he narrowly bypassed the crowd and walked to the long table with food and champagne, it was clear that the others would not let go of the opportunity to talk to him so easily.

Lu Zhou had just added a steak to the plate when he saw a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes walking over with a bottle of champagne.

"Hello, I'm John Morgan, chair of the mathematics department at Columbia University."

"Lu Zhou, it's a pleasure to meet you." Lu Zhou smiled and nodded, and shook his hand politely.

"I'm also glad to meet you, your research results are amazing. To be honest, I've never met a young mathematician who has been able to delve into a field of study to your degree. ”

This Morgan is a very good talker, and he does not hesitate to praise in his words, and Lu Zhou is a little embarrassed.

The two chatted lightly, but as they chatted, Morgan brought the conversation to Columbia University.

“…… There are many outstanding Chinese mathematicians at Columbia University, such as Zhang Wei and Zhang Taowu, who are all outstanding scholars. With us, you can communicate with many outstanding Chinese students, and our attitude towards Chinese students and professors is definitely the most open in the United States, especially for scholars with potential or ability. As long as you are willing to come, we can directly hire you as a full professor. ”

Speaking of which, Professor Morgan, who was gushing with champagne, did not hide it.

Lu Zhou smiled awkwardly, and was about to reply with a sentence of "I will seriously consider your suggestion", when Professor Deligne's voice came from the side.

"These things you say, Princeton can also provide."

Morgan was stunned for a moment, and when he looked back, his smile suddenly a little subtle.

“…… Deligne? Oh, my friend, I didn't expect you to be here too. ”

"Nice to meet you, Professor Morgan." Not very familiar, Deligne just said hello lightly, then looked at Lu Zhou, paused for a while, and then continued, "I originally planned to wait until tomorrow, but the opportunity is rare. On this rare occasion, I intend to announce something. ”

The people who were chatting nearby stopped talking and turned their curious eyes to the place, waiting for him to continue.

In response to those curious glances, Deligne stared at Lu Zhou and said in a solemn tone.

"Lu Zhou."

Feeling the solemnity and seriousness in his gaze, Lu Zhou subconsciously straightened his waist and changed to a serious expression.

Looking at his students, Professor Deligne nodded and continued: "Given the results you have achieved during your PhD, you have proven your academic ability. After a discussion at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, we have decided to award you a Ph.D. degree. ”

As Professor Deligne's words fell, applause erupted all around.

Several young students even whistled at the landing boat.

Some of them are Chinese students, and some are members of the Princeton Ivy League. For this great god, they worship from the bottom of their hearts.

A doctorate, although not a great honor, is at best deserved.

But in just three months, he received his doctorate, and there is no doubt that it will be written into Princeton's history, and even go down in history.

However, Professor Deligne did not finish his sentence, and it was obvious that he was about to say something.

After waiting for the applause to subside, he continued in a steady voice.

"In the same vein, after discussion at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, it has been decided that, in view of the series of major breakthroughs you have made in the field of prime numbers, the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton solemnly and sincerely extends an invitation to you to serve as a faculty member at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton."

In the end, Professor Deligne looked at Lu Zhou with a bit of approval.

"The offer will be sent to you the day after tomorrow, along with your degree certificate. Of course, the choice of whether or not to accept the offer is up to you. ”

A few bigwigs don't feel anything, just the title of a professor. As for his peers, and those who are not well-known, they are holding their breath.

Some people may think that the title of a professor is nothing.

But this is the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, the center of the world's mathematical community after World War II!

Moreover, he is only 21 years old......

Jealousy separates hostages......

Morgan didn't speak, just shrugged his shoulders and made a helpless expression.

Compared with the ability to poach people compared with the "headhunting company" Princeton Institute for Advanced Study in the academic world, Columbia University is indeed not enough, even if the position of head of the mathematics department is offered to him as a condition, most of it is in vain.

Lu Zhou was also stunned by this sudden question.

It took a long time for him to take a deep breath.

“…… What is the faculty position? ”

Professor Deligne said in a voice of course.

"What else could it be but a full professor?"
