Chapter 8: The Professors' Controversy

With the pen and paper in hand, the professors began to check the calculations.

"Hey, this algorithm is a bit interesting, it can really work!"

"So that's the case, I actually came to this conclusion, so there is a way to do it."

“···”

One person and one sentence will make the whole office noisy like a vegetable market.

After a long time, everyone was limited to the reason of energy, and did not continue. They are all authoritative masters, and if you look at some of them, you can basically know if there is an effect.

"Old Tan, it's okay, I see that there is a play."

"Yes, yes, yes, send it to us and let us check it carefully."

"If this article is sent to the top four international mathematics journals, it should be appropriate."

"Of course, if this article is recognized by mathematicians all over the world, then the Fields Medal will not run."

"But it's a pity, the Fields Medal is awarded once every four years, and the last award was the year before last, and it is estimated that it will take two years to receive the award."

"If this is admitted, it will be a breath of relief for our Chinese mathematics community! In this regard, the domestic has always been inferior to the foreign. But the Poincaré conjecture, one of the seven major problems of mathematics, is not ordinary! ”

“···”

Everyone said one by one, and almost all congratulated Tan Churui. And this congratulations is also sincere. How old are they, there is no need to be hypocritical about this.

Moreover, in a subject like mathematics, there is almost no point in cheating, and having strength is strength, and not having strength is not strength.

If you cheat, you can break it when you poke it.

Tan Churui listened to these people's congratulations, and his face was full of smiles, but his eyes were paying attention to Ji Zhen from beginning to end.

Seeing that Ji Zhen didn't react, he didn't seem to have any thoughts about this situation. I suddenly looked up to it in my heart, I am not very old, but my personality is calm and not impulsive.

Tan Churui walked out of the crowd and pulled Ji Zhen out.

"Come, let me introduce you. This one is a graduate of Peking University and the author of this article. By the way, what's your name? The last sentence was said to Ji Zhen.

"Ji Zhen." He was neither humble nor arrogant, and blurted out a confident and flying tone.

"What?" The other professors in the office were taken aback. "Old Tan, this article is not yours?"

Tan Churui shook his head, "It's his, this is his graduation thesis." ”

"Genius?"

"Let's put him to the test."

Ji Zhen shrugged, he had already expected this situation. As a result, mathematical knowledge from these professors flocked to the school.

The Poincaré conjecture is mainly based on geometry and topology, so the scope of these people's investigation is also in these two aspects.

And Ji Zhen was really not afraid, he almost didn't have to think about answering questions, and the answers naturally emerged from his mind.

It took an hour to go from a simple problem to a complex multi-branch problem. Ji Zhen's answer gradually slowed down, not that he couldn't answer, but that he needed to calculate.

It's just that what Ji Zhen doesn't know is that the slower speed in his heart is already very fast in the eyes of the professor.

The technique of deduction has also imperceptibly affected Ji Zhen's thinking ability, even if he did not perform the technique of deduction at this time, his thinking speed is faster than before.

"What a genius!"

"Where is this genius, this is simply a demon. In four years of college, the Poincaré conjecture was directly solved, another Tao Zhexuan! ”

"I think he is stronger than Tao Zhexuan, although Tao Zhexuan has a deep knowledge of harmonic analysis, partial differential equations, combinatorics, and analytic number theory, but he has not solved the seven major problems of mathematics."

"I also agree that Ji Zhen also has a deep knowledge of geometry and topology, and he has also solved the Poincaré conjecture."

"Old Tan, do you Yan have any ideas for this kind of genius seedling? If not, then we will need Tsinghua University. ”

Ji Zhen suddenly glanced at the old man who spoke, but he didn't expect this one to be from Tsinghua University.

Tsinghua University and Yan Datong are two of the strongest universities in China, and they have always been competitive in the eyes of the outside world, but in terms of academics, there is a lot of cooperation.

"Come less," Tan Churui's face changed, "Why don't you have an idea, our mathematics department needs this kind of young blood." ”

Tao Zhexuan was able to become a full professor of mathematics at the University of California, Los Angeles at the age of 24. Ji Zhen can become a full professor in the Department of Mathematics at Yenching University. ”

Hearing Tan Churui's words, Ji Zhen's eyes suddenly lit up and released a bright light. This light was captured by Tan Churui, and he immediately knew it in his heart.

This arrangement is still very satisfactory to this young man, Tan Churui thought so in his heart, and at the same time was even more satisfied with Ji Zhen.

If you can be a professor in school, then you must be a good seedling for education and scientific research. There are not many young people who can settle down on the boring subject of mathematics now.

"What an old Tan, his courage is big enough!"

"That's it." Tan Churui nodded, and then said to Ji Zhen, "What do you think?" ”

Ji Zhen asked, "Is it really possible?" ”

"Absolutely." "However, you will have to wait until your article is published to be recognized before you can become a professor in the Department of Mathematics at Yenching University." ”

Of course Ji Zhen is fine.

In a previous life, it took two years for Grigory Perelman to publish his work before it was recognized by mathematicians around the world. But that was only 2005.

Now, in 2017, the development of science is changing with each passing day, and the development of computers and the amount of computing brought by supercomputers can greatly make up for the time gap.

Moreover, Ji Zhen released the final version after making up for the previous life, which can be said to be very perfect. As a result, the verification time is shorter.

"If you can trust us, this article will be placed here for me, and we will publish it for you."

Ji Zhen nodded, "That's the best, thank you." ”

"It's polite to say thank you, but can you add a few authors to this article? Rest assured, the first author is definitely yours. ”

"Okay!" As long as he is not the first author, Ji Zhen is still fine.

If he had submitted his own papers, without the international reputation of these professors, he would have been swallowed up by mathematicians from other countries.

"Okay, then you just wait for the good news!" Tan Churui said.

Ji Zhen nodded, and then left Professor Tan's office. The dozen or so professors in the office were left arguing again.

"Old Tan, I have a deep study in topology, so leave the details of this article to me."

"Hey, Lao Zhao, you old boy is not kind! Thinking about robbing the author so quickly? When it comes to topology, I'm not much worse than you. ”

"I'm better at geometry, and I should do the process of supplementing it."
