Chapter 295: Steady progress in the career
For the entire mathematical community, the spring meeting of the Federal Mathematical Society of the United States is just an ordinary routine meeting, and its influence is not very great, at least not as good as the annual meeting of the European Mathematical Society.
If a domestic university student wins the best speaker award in such a conference, it is undoubtedly a worthy thing for his university to hang a banner. But beyond that, no one cares about who the award ends up with.
However, having said that, most scholars or mathematical research institutions engaged in pure mathematical research will still pay attention to the papers submitted at the Spring Festival meeting of the American Mathematical Society.
After all, mathematics is a field of genius, and 80% of outstanding achievements come from young scholars under the age of 40......
Institute of Mathematics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, in an office.
Leaning on the office chair, Academician Xiang Huanan leisurely drank tea while looking at the paper printed on A4 paper.
When he just flipped to one of the papers, the old gentleman's eyebrows raised slightly, and he suddenly said with a smile.
"This guy can't be idle, so he has completed a big project and found something for himself to do."
Although Academician Xiang Huanan did not say who "this guy" meant, the other person sitting in his office knew what he was talking about.
"Young people are energetic, and they can't be idle," the old god took a sip of tea, and Academician Wang Xiping, who came to his old friend to drink tea as usual, asked slowly, "What subject?" ”
Academician Xiang threw the A4 paper in his hand on the table, and said with a smile: "Kakutani conjecture." ”
Printed on that A4 sheet of paper is Vera's paper submitted to the Spring Meeting of the American Mathematical Society - "A Study on the Complex Analysis of the Equivalence Equation of the Kakutani Conjecture h(z^3)=h(z^6)+{h(z^2)+λh(λz^2)+λ^2h(λ^2z^2)}/3z"
Both of them know that this Ms. Vera Puyuy is a master's student led by Lu Zhou at Princeton University. And Lu Zhou's name is also hung on the second work of the paper.
Academician Wang Xiping's expression was slightly surprised, "Kakutani conjecture? It's no simpler than Goldbach's guess. ”
Although the Kadoya conjecture is not as well-known as the Goldbach conjecture in China, it is not much less difficult than the Goldbach conjecture in terms of the difficulty of this mathematical proposition. In a sense, it is even more difficult than solving the Goldbach conjecture.
The difficulty here lies not in the proposition itself, but in the fact that it does not have the results of countless predecessors as a foreshadowing, as Goldbach conjecture.
If Lu Zhou's Goldbach conjecture was proved earlier, it would at most be the last floor of the building. And to prove Kakutani's conjecture, it is equivalent to building another building next to this building.
The achievements made by predecessors on this issue are, at best, the foundation.
At most, Lu Zhou can dismantle the scaffolding of the building that previously built the "Goldbach Conjecture" and reuse it. As for whether it can be useful, and how much it can be used, only he himself knows.
Academician Xiang said with a smile: "Who knows, I'm not engaged in number theory." If you're curious, just ask him yourself. ”
"Of course I'll ask the next time I meet him. But this Lu Zhou is really powerful, if only he is powerful, the students he brought out are not idle people," Speaking of this, Academician Wang couldn't help but shake his head and sighed, "It's a pity, it would be nice if you came to our Yan University." ”
Knowing what his old friend was sorry for, he smiled at the academician and said, "What's the pity, people are now internationally renowned scholars, it's good to be willing to come back, but you have arranged it for others." ”
Compared with the income of researchers trained in China, the salary provided by the "Thousand Talents Program" is several times higher, and it also includes children's education allowance and settling-in allowance, and many people can get more than one million US dollars in research funds as soon as they return to China, which is unimaginable in the United States.
In a pertinent evaluation, in many talent development strategies, the Thousand Talents Program has indeed achieved certain results, but there are still great difficulties in the introduction of first-class scholars.
"With Mr. Lu's talent and teaching experience accumulated in Princeton, combined with the resources of Yan University, not to mention the revival of the Chinese school of analytic number theory, it is not impossible to build the Department of Mathematics of Yan University into a world-class level." But if it's Jinling University......"
The rest of the words, Academician Wang did not finish, but they were self-evident.
It is undoubtedly much more difficult to build a building from the ground than to renovate a ready-made building.
Academician Xiang could naturally understand the meaning of his old friend, but he just smiled noncommittally and did not make any comments.
In the past, he thought the same as Academician Wang, thinking that Jinling University was not a good choice, and threw an olive branch to Lu Zhou more than once. But after thinking about it, he suddenly felt that this choice didn't seem bad.
Whether it is the Chinese Academy of Sciences or Yan University, it is impossible to give Lu Zhou too much room to play, but Jinling University can.
Moreover, as a 985 institution, the quality of Jinda's students is not much different from that of Yanda.
Since Lu Zhou took the initiative to give up Yanda's rich resources and choose Jinda, which has relatively few resources but is more malleable, then he must have carefully considered these issues.
Maybe he could actually build a building on this foundation.
These are all bad words.
……
With the academic conference of the American Mathematical Society coming to an end, Lu Zhou finally took the flight back to China.
This time when he returned to China, he did not notify anyone in advance, quietly bought a plane ticket, quietly got on the plane, quietly changed to a high-speed rail, and returned to his hometown in Jiangcheng.
And when he pushed open the door, he was naturally greeted by the crisp and loud voice.
"Ah, dude, you're back?! I'll help you with your luggage! ”
found that the elder brother was back, and Xiaotong, who called his teammate's crying father and mother, suddenly threw away the mobile phone that was still in the game, climbed down from the sofa with a smile, and trotted towards the door.
Looking at the eyes full of expectation, Lu Zhou smiled and waved his big hand.
"The gift is in the box, take it and rummage it yourself."
Every time I come back for the New Year, bringing gifts to Xiaotong has become one of the traditions of the Lu family.
Although it is not a particularly valuable thing, according to Xiaotong, this feeling of surprise is a pleasure in itself.
Throwing the suitcase to his sister, Lu Zhou changed into slippers and walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down.
didn't wait for a while, Xiao Tong, who had finished dismantling, slipped back to his room with the loot and satisfied.
This time the gift is a certain Swiss brand of cosmetics, Lu Zhou doesn't know much about this aspect of things, but fortunately among his students, Hardy is very researched in this area, but it solved this trouble for him.
Packing up the loot, Xiaotong returned to the living room, happily sat on the sofa next to Lu Zhou, picked up the mobile phone that had ended the game, and prepared to start the next game.
Lu Zhou glanced at the screen, and saw that the frame marking the rank was no different from the last time he came back, so he couldn't help but ask casually.
"How did you do in the final exam?"
Rubbing Xiao Qiong's nose with his index finger coaxingly, Xiao Tong said proudly.
"Hey, Ben Mushroom Liang is naturally a top student, and the university courses are too simple."
As soon as he heard this, Lu Zhou was immediately happy.
When he was a freshman, he naively thought so, picked up the book and looked at it, didn't Nima all go to high school?
Especially in English, it is more than enough to stabilize the level of the college entrance examination and pass the fourth level, and if you want to get a high score, it is just a matter of memorizing more words.
However, by the second semester, the difficulty began to skyrocket.
Wait until the professional and elective courses are opened, and the real hell begins.
However, Lu Zhou didn't have time to experience this feeling in detail, and most of his experience of college was obtained by referring to his three roommates, because by the time he opened his professional courses, those things were already too simple for him.
“…… Also, I'm already in college, don't always ask me about my grades. And don't look at me playing every day at home, it's a holiday, do you understand the holiday? I was in school, but there were serious students. Quickly started the next game, changed into a outfit and went to the front line, Xiao Tong muttered and complained.
Of course Lu Zhou believes his sister's statement.
If a whole semester is wasted, even if it is replaced by his Xiao Ai, I am afraid that he will be able to climb out of the pit of stubborn bronze, and he will not stay in it for a whole year.
Just as Lu Zhou was about to tease her rookie operation, Xiaotong suddenly smiled and said maliciously, "By the way, brother, don't always ask about my situation, how are you doing?" ”
Not perceiving the little devil's smile, Lu Zhou was slightly stunned: "Me? It's okay, my career is making steady progress, and my academic career is reaching new highs-"
Xiaotong immediately asked, "What about my sister-in-law?" ”
Lu Zhou: "......"
MMP!
This guy did it on purpose, right?
