On June 15, 1982, the first day after Princeton University exam week, the weather was fine.

"Jun, the people from Harvard University and MIT will be the last ones of the day. Actually, there is no need for you to come with us to greet you, after all, you still have to spend time preparing for your dissertation defense! "At five o'clock in the afternoon EST, the sun is still shining, but after all, it is not the hottest time, so although it is hot outside, there is still a cool breeze from time to time, so that people standing here can feel a little comfortable.

The people standing here are none other than mathematicians from the Department of Mathematics at Princeton University, but they are not all of them, but they come in batches to receive mathematicians from foreign institutes and universities who have come to participate in the thesis defense meeting, and claim to be the exchange meeting of the School of Mathematics of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.

And the two people who just talked to each other were Junxin and Professor Feverman. Because in the United States, the status of the mathematics department of Harvard University is no less than that of Princeton University, so in order to show respect, Professor Feverman, who is the head of the mathematics department of Princeton University, came out to greet him personally. Because of the arrival of Chinese mathematicians such as Professor Qiu Chengtong and Professor Zheng Shaoyuan, Junxin also came out to participate in the greeting team as a greeting person.

"It doesn't matter, the paper has already been submitted three days ago, and there is nothing that needs to be revised, even if there is, it is estimated that it will have to wait until the dissertation defense meeting to ask questions on the spot soon!" Junxin shrugged his shoulders and said.

In fact, when Professor Thurston came to the dormitory to find him that day, his thesis had been largely completed, and the rest was mainly due to some problems with the integrity of the format and calculations, so Junxin handed the paper to Professor Thurston to take back, and then in less than a night, the paper spread throughout Princeton University and the Institute for Advanced Study.

Of course, if you are an ordinary mathematician, it is a difficult problem to read this paper of more than 150 pages in three days, after all, the content of this paper is basically the forefront of research in the international mathematical community. However, for the professors at Princeton, this is not a big problem, three days is enough time for them to roughly read the entire paper, at least they have a grasp of Junxin's thinking when writing the paper.

After reading the paper, some mathematicians began to calculate and demonstrate what they were interested in, and took advantage of the convenience of Princeton University to inquire about Junxin during tea time. Others took turns at the gates of Princeton to greet mathematicians from various universities and research institutes.

"The paper did a good job, and I'm relieved now!" Professor Feverman said with a smile, "I didn't expect such a big oolong this time because of your problem!" Fortunately, your paper is good enough, and Princeton's face has finally made up for it. ”

"Haha, didn't you and the principal also think of a way?" Junxin, who rarely saw Professor Peverman's jokes, suddenly laughed, "It has been announced to the public that it has become an internal exchange meeting of the School of Mathematics of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. It's a great idea, but it's a pity that if I don't have a good paper, the Institute for Advanced Study will be in the dark pot. ”

"With so many mathematicians together, even if there is no paper on your Lanz program, there will always be a lot of things to discuss, in fact, we mathematicians are not like those biologists, there are things that we dare not discuss with others many times, for fear that others will rob us of our research results."

For this, Junxin couldn't answer. He knew that although Professor Thurston was the one who supported his development in all aspects, there were still a large number of other professors who actually had a lot of opinions about his focus on biology, and the representative of this was Professor Feverman in front of him.

Seeing that Junxin didn't speak for a while, Professor Feverman didn't say anything, for this is actually he has discussed with Junxin many times, but Junxin still hasn't given up his idea in the end, which makes him very dissatisfied, but he is also happy that Junxin can stick to his ideas, and there is a great contradiction in Junxin's opinion, and then he will turn a blind eye, anyway, as long as Junxin does not forget that he is a mathematician. It's just that it is inevitable that there will be one or two sentences to say sometimes, and usually at this time, Junxin always doesn't say a word. A tacit understanding has been formed between the two.

The atmosphere at the scene was a little awkward for a while, but this awkward atmosphere did not last long. Because professors from Boston University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Harvard University in Massachusetts have arrived here one after another.

Obviously, there were not as many people coming this time as there was the last time Junxin held a conference on Modell's conjecture in Princeton, but this is not a big deal, after all, Junxin's paper has not been disseminated, and no one knows what Junxin has done during this time.

"Professor Qiu, I haven't seen you for a long time!" When Professor Qiu Chengtong got out of the car, Junxin hurriedly rushed over to say hello.

"It's been a long time, you were in Massachusetts last time ago, right? More than half a year has passed now. Seeing Junxin, the tiredness on Professor Yau's original face was swept away, and he said to Junxin who walked up quickly with a smile.

Junxin and Professor Qiu didn't say much, but the two of them weren't too anxious, anyway, since they came, they didn't care about the time of the few days.

"Let's talk when we have time!" Looking at Professor Feverman who came up, Professor Yau Chengtong decisively gave up the idea of talking to Junxin more, and then walked quickly to Professor Feverman.

The group only said hello at the station and then walked to the school. Luckily, Princeton University is not very far from the station, so the mathematicians talked along the way, and although they didn't say anything about academics, they had a lot of fun.

"Xiaojun, how many people have come?" Professor Zheng Shaoyuan walked at the end and asked in a low voice in his non-standard Mandarin.

"Not all of them were hosted by me!" Jun Xin shook his head and said, "But as far as I know, the professors from the universities on the west coast seem to have arrived, and they were received by Professor Mirno, and they are currently communicating in the research institute!" The others are not too clear. But the Ivy League seems to be as bad as Yale, and the others are coming. ”

"Are you sure?"

"I don't know, but the title of the paper is considered to be the most cutting-edge research, so there should be no problems. As for the specific research, let's talk about it then, I believe it won't disappoint you! ”

"Then I'm going to look forward to it!"
