In every successful person, there will always be a characteristic that ordinary people lack. This statement is very true for Professor Wiles.

Professor Wiles' low-key, serious, conscientious, and consistent spirit and character for seven years allowed him to prove the worldwide achievement of Fermat's theorem.

However, every time Junxin saw Professor Wiles, he felt like laughing, because this famous professor had a really bad aesthetic. Anyone who sees Professor Wyles at first glance will be struck by his terrible hairstyle. But when you see the wise eyes under his terrible hairstyle, you will immediately stop laughing and succumb to his eyes full of wisdom and peace.

"Jun, are you here?" By the time Junxin hurried to the welcoming hall, it was obvious that the welcome party had already begun for a while.

"Yes, Professor Feverman. I don't think it's late, right? After more than a month of getting along and communicating, Junxin and the professors of the Department of Mathematics of Princeton University have become very familiar, and occasionally make jokes with each other, including Professor Feverman.

Professor Feverman touched his chin with a smile and said, "It's not late, but you're a little late, just in time to meet Professor Wiles, who has a high level of attainment in the algebraic geometry of elliptic curves." ”

"Thank you, Professor Feverman!" Junxin nodded and said, then turned his gaze to Professor Wiles, who was surrounded by everyone. Coincidentally, because of Junxin's arrival, which attracted everyone's attention, Professor Wiles also turned his attention to Junxin.

"This is the famous Mr. Junxin, right? I have heard your name many times in Europe, and I have seen your papers, so it is an honor to know you. Professor Wiles didn't need to be taught, and he immediately recognized Jun Xinlai.

Junxin is not surprised that Professor Wiles can recognize himself immediately, some time ago, because of Junxin's wonderful performance at the exchange meeting, it has been spread to various universities and research institutes around the world along with the media of various countries, and there are almost no people in the industry who do not know him.

"It's an honor to meet you, Professor!" Junxin took the initiative to stretch out his right hand to look at Professor Wiles and said, "I have read your paper on the Birch-Swinneton-Dyer conjecture, and this is the first time I have seen the charm of algebraic geometry, and your ideas are very unique and wonderful!" ”

Professor Wiles grinned, "Your proof of the Modell conjecture is also wonderful, and when I spoke to Mr. Modell a few years ago, he lamented that his conjecture may be difficult to prove, but your excellent results are enough to comfort this venerable elder." ”

Junxin smiled and didn't speak. Today's welcome, he is not the focus, but Professor Wiles is. So after a few brief exchanges, Junxin retreated to Professor Surston, whom he was most familiar with.

"Do you know Professor Wiles well?" Professor Thurston asked as he looked at Professor Wiles, who was communicating with the others.

Junxin shook his head and nodded again.

Professor Thurston looked at him strangely and motioned for him to explain why.

Jun Xin thought for a while and said, "I'm not familiar with Professor Wiles's experience, but I'm just familiar with his achievements. Between November and December last year, I read several articles published by Professor Wiles in journals about the solution of elliptic lines under semi-stable conditions in algebraic geometry, which inspired me to have the ABC conjecture, so I paid more attention to Professor Wiles' work and research results. ”

Professor Thurston didn't say anything, just an "oh" in response. Then he stared at Jun Xin with his eyes tightly and said, "Jun, you seem to have forgotten us about something, right?" ”

Jun Xin was stunned for a moment, then moved his gaze to Professor Mirno, who was laughing loudly, and suddenly realized, "I'm sorry, Professor." This is a relatively busy time, so there is no time to think deeply, but in general, other problems have been solved, so the focus of recent work may have shifted to the four-dimensional space proof of Pang's conjecture. Don't worry, it's not like I haven't done anything recently, at least I already have a very detailed idea of the four-dimensional Pang Jialai conjecture. ”

After listening to this, Professor Thurston smiled and said: "For those of us who study topology, the Pang Jialai conjecture is a fatal subject, but after Professor Smale completed the proof of the fifth dimension and its higher latitudes, the proof of the Pang Jialai conjecture has not improved, and finally heard the news of a breakthrough, which is a bit urgent!" ”

Junxin shook his head, but he didn't speak. He had great respect for Professor Thurston, for his knowledge of topology was largely taught to him by this professor. From this point of view, Professor Thurston was the most helpful to Junxin in his mathematical research, so he did not care about fulfilling Professor Thurston's small wishes.

"I heard that you've been playing basketball again recently, can you tell me what's going on?" Professor Thurston asked, changing the subject.

Jun Xin smiled indifferently and said, "There is such a thing. Two days ago, I saw some research papers on mathematics and kinesiology in the library, and I wanted to see if I could use mathematical methods to guide basketball competitions, but it was just starting and it didn't work yet, and I wanted to see the results after a while. ”

"It's a good thing to have a hobby!" Professor Surston was silent for a moment and said, "But don't get addicted. Jun, you're gifted, better than anyone I've ever seen. There are more than 100 people in the entire mathematics department at Princeton University, and none of them are as gifted as you. I'm not against you playing basketball, but I want you to get it right and don't waste your talent, which would be the biggest crime against you. ”

Jun Xin also looked solemn, nodded and said: "I know what you mean, but you can rest assured, after all, I am still very young, take advantage of this time to accumulate more knowledge and experience, but what I care about is the most important thing for me, so these will not distract me." At least these things don't make me lose sight of my goals. ”

Professor Thurston smiled and nodded, and instead of going on, he moved on to another topic: "When will your proof come out?" I will inform the editorial office of the Annals of Mathematics to vacate the slot for the paper. Professor Surston, who is also one of the chief reviewers of the Annals of Mathematics, naturally said this in such a tone.

"In a month or so, around mid-November I should be able to complete the proof, and then I'll hand over the manuscript to you for review."

"Okay, I'll see!"
