Chapter 292: The End of the Thesis Defense
"Junxin, it's time to change your name to Junbo, you're the first person in our group to get a doctorate." During the break, Junxin decisively sent a few professors and reporters who wanted to come over to talk to him, and came to the exchange student group that came to Princeton together.
"It's just one step ahead, with your ability, even if you take the formal route, it only takes five or six years to get a doctorate, so you don't have to envy me." Junxin waved his hand and said. The exchange students who can be sent by Mizuki University as an exchange student at Princeton University are the top students of Mizuki University, and such students, under normal circumstances, are the leaders of their respective research fields in the country decades later, and at that time, they may not really be able to afford a doctorate.
"Anyway, you're in front of us now, and we should work hard, otherwise I'll be embarrassed to say that I once studied Princeton with you if you were left behind." Li Jun said with a smile.
"Let's work together!" Junxin's face was very flat, and he didn't change in the slightest because of the praise of others.
"The next question may be very sharp, are you ready?" Murong Yun asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, Junxin won't fight unprepared battles." Junxin has nothing to worry about in the next question session, after all, these proofs have been tested by history, and he has nothing to worry about at all.
"It seems that you are very well prepared, so there is no problem at all." The degree of belief in Junxin is no one as good as Gu Mengxue, who has been with him for so long, with her understanding of Junxin, looking at his expression, she knows that Junxin is completely ready.
"Don't worry!" Junxin shook Gu Mengxue's hand. The relationship between the two of them is already known to everyone in the exchange group. Therefore, everyone did not care about the intimate relationship between the two of them in public.
"Alright, it's time, let's get ready!" Gu Mengxue gently pushed Junxin and said with a slightly red face.
Jun Xin snorted, then nodded at the others and said: "I'll go up first, the next time may be more boring, but after it's over, let's go out for a meal together, I'll call Professor Yau Chengtong and Professor Chern and others, it's okay that a few of Professor Yau Chengtong's students didn't come, otherwise I can introduce it to you." ”
"Okay, when it's over, I'll book a place, it's still the old place, and you can just take them over directly when the time comes. But you have to pay for this meal, and we should be the big eaters. Chen Xiuli said with a smile.
"Haha, this is natural!"
The fifteen-minute break passed quickly, and when Junxin stood on the podium again and looked below, he found that the group of professors sitting below were eager to try, and he knew that today's question might not be completed in an afternoon. If Professor Mirno hadn't decisively ended the question-and-answer session ahead of schedule, I am afraid that he would have been the most difficult and easiest to get a doctorate in the history of Princeton and even the world's universities.
"Now that we are moving on to the question and answer session of the dissertation, let us hand over the first question to the esteemed Professor Robert Langlands, thanks to his wise thinking and keen thinking, which allowed me to complete my PhD project." Jun Xin smiled slightly, he had no stage fright at all for such a scene, and he called out the first name in a very natural tone.
There was a round of applause from the audience. In the midst of this applause, Robert Langlands slowly stood up and bowed slightly to the surroundings to express his gratitude.
Although Robert-Langlands's academic achievements are not as high as those of his predecessors, Klein and Hilbert, the former heads of the Göttingen School, the Langlands program he proposed is not lost to his two predecessors at all, and the Langlands program that he discovered that connects the mathematical connection between number theory and group theory will also be forever written in the history of mathematics because of his outstanding achievements, and he will become a famous mathematical scholar with a unique mathematical status.
"My question has nothing to do with the proofs you just mentioned, for what I want to know most is when, where, and how did you begin to work on the proof of this conjecture? After all, it has only been a dozen days since Princeton University announced that you have participated in the defense of your doctoral dissertation, and I don't believe that you have completed the writing and certification of such a thesis in such a short time. After Langlands took the microphone, he asked unceremoniously.
Jun Xin bowed slightly to Professor Langlands and said, "Thank you Professor Langlands for your question, in fact, I have been engaged in the research of the Langlands Program for more than a year. You should know that I published papers on the Modell's conjecture and Junxin's inference in the Annals of Mathematics at Princeton University last year and the year before, and in fact my research on the Langlands program began at the latest. ”
"Although the main aspect of Model's conjecture and Junxin's inference is the study of algebraic geometry, you will find that many of the ideas used in this paper have great similarities with those used in this paper. After the end of Junxin's inference, my research work was mainly in differential geometry and topology, as well as in the Langlands program. ”
"The results of differential geometry and topology, you have seen it, I have successfully proved the four-dimensional Pangjialai conjecture, and the research results of the Langlands program are the relevant content expressed in my thesis. The conclusions and formulas in this include my research work on number theory and group theory for more than a year. ”
"I see, I say that you have such a high talent in algebra, but why is there no movement at all after that, it turns out that you have been studying related problems, so it makes sense!" Professor Longlands nodded and sat down.
Although his question was unexpected, it was a bit understandable that he would ask such a question, after all, when he proposed the Langlands Program, he had said that it would take at least thirty years to make a breakthrough on this issue. And now this issue has only been officially taken seriously for a few years, and seriously speaking, this problem has only been about ten years, but it has advanced more than half of it, which makes him feel disbelieving, so he didn't even ask a professional question, but first came such a completely unrelated question.
"Okay, that's all for me, I'll leave the rest of the time to you." Professor Langlands nodded, and handed the microphone to Professor Mirno, who was next to him.
"Junxin, although we agree that there is no objection at all to conferring you a doctorate, I have a question of interest to your thesis, how did you apply Vladimir's research formula to the general conditions?"
"To your question, my answer is, for the ...... on the function field"
"The above proof process is given in detail in the paper, I will not expand on it here, do you have any questions?"
"Okay, I need to do some good research on your paper!"
"Anyone else?" Junxin asked, and with a "swish" below, a large number of hands were raised.
