Chapter 154: Famous in the World (7)

Later historians of science have been extremely entangled in documenting the birth of the famous ABC conjecture. This conjecture was developed by a mathematician of algebraic geometry and three geometricians over the course of several hours.

This is where they are entangled, because the other three are all experts in geometry, although they also have some research in algebra, but they have never studied it in depth, but in the end, when writing the history of the ABC conjecture, they have to add the names of the three to it. Number theorists generally agree that number theory has been conquered by geometry.

Of course, that's for future historians, so let's turn our attention to the four who ended the discussion.

"Listening to what you say, I won't worry about the content of your speech tomorrow, come on!" Professor Yau Chengtong stood up and patted Junxin on the shoulder and said. After this conversation, he was very satisfied with Junxin, which is definitely not explained by luck, but a person who really has absolute strength.

"He's right, I'm not worried about your lecture tomorrow, on the contrary, I want to see the faces of the mathematicians in the audience, it will be very interesting." Professor Zheng Shaoyuan also stood up and said to Junxin with a smile.

"You two have won the award, and I have gained a lot from the two of you!" Junxin also stood up. The four of them had been talking together for about two hours, and the whole party was only three hours in total, plus it took about half an hour with Professor Mirno at the beginning, and the party was almost over, and the four of them were naturally about to disperse.

"Mr. Chen, do you want to be with the professors at Berkeley or with the colleagues of the Mathematical Society?" Junxin asked curiously.

Chen Lao also stood up, looked at the staff of the Mathematics Society not far away, shook his head and said, "Since I am here on behalf of the Mathematics Society this time, I naturally want to be with the staff of the Mathematics Society." It would be enough for Berkeley to have Professor Smale at the helm, and I won't interrupt their plans. ”

After a pause, Chen Lao looked at Junxin and showed a satisfied smile: "At the beginning of the year, when Brother Hua returned to China, he once instructed me that if you go abroad one day, ask me to take care of you." But now it seems that you are fully capable of creating a world of your own, and my help will naturally not be needed. But if you have something to do with me, you can come to Berkeley and find me. ”

"Thank you, Professor, I remember." Jun Xin saluted Professor Chen and said respectfully.

"Okay, I won't bother you." Professor Chen said with a smile, "It's really hard for you to spend more than two hours with the three of us discussing such a boring issue, so let's go and get busy, we'll just take care of ourselves." ”

Jun Xin looked at Professor Yau Chengtong and Professor Zheng Shaoyuan, and when he saw the two of them nodding, Jun Xin did not hesitate, and after saluting, he walked towards the professor of the Department of Mathematics at Princeton.

"Teacher, what do you think?" Looking at Junxin's figure walking away quickly, Professor Qiu asked in a deep voice.

Professor Chen nodded, shook his head again, and said, "He is a good seedling, especially with a wide vision. But hopefully he can work one subject, and it is always better to be specialized than broad, especially for those of us who do learning. ”

"Old Chen, I think your requirements for him are a bit high, anyway, he is just an eighteen-year-old boy, there is no need to be too harsh, at most, we will put down the order and watch it at that time, I believe he will know." Zheng Shaoyuan shook his head and said softly.

"Chengtong, what do you think of him?"

"Number theory is not my specialty, but I have asked Professor Alforth about the beginning and end of the conjecture proposed by Mr. Moder, and I have a certain understanding of the difficulty of the problem. At the age of seventeen, when I was still in the library with a book to chew on, he had already achieved no less than Calabi conjecture, and his future achievements were destined to surpass you and me. Professor Yau Chengtong was silent for a long time and said with emotion.

"I'm starting to look forward to his speech tomorrow." Professor Chen said, taking a step towards the staff of the Mathematics Society. Professor Yau and Professor Zheng Shaoyuan followed him.

"You don't have to send me, it's almost time anyway, I'll go back to the hotel to rest later, it doesn't matter."

"Then I'll see you tomorrow." When Professor Qiu Zheng heard this, he no longer followed, but said goodbye and other words, and then walked to the place where the professors of the Department of Mathematics of Harvard University gathered.

When Jun Xin had just returned to the place where the professors of the Princeton Department of Mathematics had gathered, he had not said a word when he was greeted by Professor Charles Fepferman's question: "Jun, will your demonstration of the four-dimensional proof idea of the PoincarΓ© conjecture just now have a negative impact on your speech tomorrow?" ”

"No problem, Professor Feverman!" Junxin nodded helplessly to the professors, and then said, "Long before the gathering, I have prepared the content of tomorrow's lecture and some preparations about the relevance of Moder's conjecture, and I also talked with my three elders just now, so don't worry about the preparations." ”

Professor Feverman nodded and said, "That's good, I hope it doesn't really make any difference." After all, tomorrow is a big day for you, and it's important for us in the Princeton math department, so don't let anything go wrong. ”

Junxin shook his head and said, "I can understand your worries, but there really is nothing else to prepare. At most, I thought a little more during the conversation, which I thought was very interesting. I have deduced with three elders, and there is no problem for the time being, maybe we can bring a new mathematical problem to the mathematical community. After a pause, Junxin suddenly smiled and said to Professor Feverman, "I think Professor can try to solve this problem after tomorrow, I think this is a very interesting problem." ”

"Oh, then I'll have to listen to it tomorrow." Professor Peverman laughed too.

In Princeton, after such a long time together, these mathematics professors have recognized Junxin's ability. Even many of the mathematics professors working in the Institute for Advanced Study began to prepare for lectures after learning about Junxin's situation, although they did not have the responsibility to teach. However, in order to be able to communicate and interact with Junxin in class, they all started teaching.

As a result, the quality of this year's Princeton mathematics students far exceeded that of any previous class, and it became an eternal legend of Princeton.

"It's not too early to calculate, I'll go back for now, Professor! See you tomorrow! ”

"See you tomorrow!"
