Chapter 55: New Year

This controversy that made Jun Xin cry and laugh ended in Jun Xin's defeat, after all, he himself was facing two giants, no matter what his original intentions were, Jun Xin could only bite the bullet and prepare to write his thesis.

However, Junxin said that writing a paper is not fake. After all, he really thought about the proposition of twin prime conjecture. He was a participant in Polymath at the time, and he naturally knew a lot about the research results of twin primes, and even proved the theorem of 1000.

The twin prime conjecture does involve sieving, and in the 1920s, using a theory based on Eratostnik's sieve method, Viggo Brown of Norway proved that 2 can be expressed as the difference of numbers with up to nine prime factors. This conclusion is already somewhat similar to the twin prime conjecture. It can be seen that the twin prime conjecture can be proved by improving the "number with up to 9 prime factors" in this proof to "number with up to 1 prime factor".

Junxin said that he wanted to visit Mr. Chen Jingrun, in fact, it was not for nothing, as the one who may not be the top in China, but he must be the most well-known and influential mathematician, Junxin made up his mind to visit him very early.

However, Junxin is only a student after all, and there are not many opportunities to meet Mr. Chen. And it would be very embarrassing to visit the door without a recommendation. And now that it has come to the end of the year, Junxin is even more embarrassed to bother, so he can only hide in an office prepared for him by Professor Wang and start to write his thesis.

For a scientific researcher, the thesis is sometimes the most important content to reflect the research results, especially for a theoretical research scholar, the thesis is the most important. In this era, it is not like in later generations, and the pure theoretical research of physics and mathematics can be disseminated on the Internet in the form of preprints of papers, and then everyone can communicate on the Internet. For example, ARVIX, the website that is the most widely circulated among scientists for the exchange of preprints of papers, Junxin often downloads papers on it. Because these papers are often the latest research results on the most cutting-edge issues in the current scientific community. Even in the eyes of some theoretical researchers, the importance of papers in ARVIX is even higher than that of the three major CNS journals in the traditional academic community. Of course, for researchers in the biological sciences, the CNS is still the most important. ARVIX or something, completely unreliable kind of site.

Writing a dissertation is not something that can be done overnight, so Professor Wang seems to have generously given Junxin two weeks. However, what makes Junxin want to cry without tears is that these two weeks also include the eight days of the New Year's holiday.

In fact, for Junxin, the New Year doesn't mean anything, so I don't care about these things. So I just took a few hours to customize a small pendant for Gu Mengxue, and then wrote a letter to Gu Mengxue, and after dealing with other things at hand, I plunged into the study of mathematics.

Of course, Junxin suddenly became rich because his paper was published in the first issue of the new year, the Annals of Mathematics, and he earned him a lot of money. The paper was sent by Professor Hu to sign for it. Later, Professor Hu sent the mail to the University of Science and Technology of China intact, which was personally delivered by Professor Qiao to Junxin's hands, which caused a violent shock within the University of Science and Technology of China.

Of course, along with the email, there was also a letter from Gu Mengxue, which made Junxin realize that the first New Year in this world was coming. That's why I thought about giving a gift to Gu Mengxue, who had already established a relationship with Junxin between men and women.

Since the pendant is custom-made, it took Junxin a lot of brains to come up with this idea now: the overall shape of the pendant is a model of a snowflake, according to Junxin's design, which is a geometric pattern structure based on Kirk snowflakes. In the middle of the pendant is a delicate geometric figure, which is a figure that Junxin finally built successfully by calculating the structure of the quasicrystal, and there is a small mathematical formula engraved in the middle of the figure, and the meaning of the formula is exactly a heart-shaped line engraved outside the formula that wraps the formula, which is also what Junxin said to Gu Mengxue before.

After finishing these things, Junxin hid in the office, and started a new round of mathematical operations, in the faculty apartment of Shuimu University in Beijing, an old house that looked a little dilapidated, but in fact, it was still very new, Professor Hu and several scholars and professors who were not much different from him were sitting together, the atmosphere was warm, and they were discussing something with each other.

"Lao Hu, you Shuimu can be regarded as completely distributed, and the two big articles in the Annals of Mathematics almost represent the highest standard of mathematics in China!" An old professor in a blue shirt spoke, and the envy in his tone could be heard by anyone.

The old professor's surname is Wu, and he was transferred from Shuimu to a professor at Peking University when the department was adjusted, and after such a long time of accumulation and academic research, he is already an associate academician-level scholar.

"Hehe, Lao Wu, this is not our research results, it is not as exaggerated as you said." Professor Hu had to say modestly, but the smug energy in his heart didn't need to be mentioned.

"Well, you shouldn't be modest, it's also true." Another professor on the side, Professor Hong, also said. He is a professor in the Chinese Academy of Sciences system and does not teach in schools, but at this time he is also very jealous: "In the past, the mathematics departments of Fudan University and Peking University in China have always been dominant, but even these two schools have not published papers in the four major journals, right?" ”

"This is also true." Another Professor Lu opened his mouth and said that he, like Professor Hu, is a member of the faculty and an academician-level figure, but he teaches at Peking University, and he has all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred for Professor Hu. It was not until the 90s that articles were published in the four major journals in China, either because the applied research results did not meet the requirements of the four major journals, or because the research topics did not make progress and major breakthroughs, or they were taken by others. It has been a long time since Xiang Junxin has made world-wide achievements.

"By the way, Xiaojun was taken back by Lao Wang, right? You're not worried at all? Professor Lu asked curiously.

Professor Hu shook his head and said a little helplessly: "You don't know the situation of the mathematics department of our school, it has just been rebuilt, there are no resources at all, and there are some things that are mine, but how can my materials meet the needs of a genius student like his?" So, I can only let him communicate everywhere! As soon as the voice changed, Professor Hu said solemnly, "This is actually the reason why I took advantage of the Chinese New Year to gather everyone together this time." Because of the reconstruction, some equipment and conditions cannot catch up with us, and it is a kind of luck and pressure for us to meet such a gifted student. The research career in mathematics is extremely short, and most of the achievements were made at a young age, although there is still a long time for Junxin, but I don't want to be limited because the hardware facilities can't keep up. If we can't help, I hope you can support it in time. ”

"It's rare that your old Hu would be so for a student, but Xiaojun, this kid really deserves you like this, I can't say anything else, I will support Peking University!" Professor Lu nodded in agreement.

"We from the Chinese Academy of Sciences have no opinion." Professor Hong said, "Anyway, Hua Lao attaches so much importance to Xiao Jun, and Su Lao once praised Xiao Jun to us in private, I think if he wants to go to the Chinese Academy of Sciences, no one should refuse, right?" Professor Su Buqing is Professor Su Buqing, he is the director of the Institute of Mathematics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and he also single-handedly established the Department of Mathematics that is enough to compete with Peking University, and enjoys a good reputation in China.

"Okay, you Lao Hong, if you want me to dig a corner here, no, no, absolutely not!" Professor Hu was suddenly anxious.

"Hahaha..."A burst of laughter rang out.
