Chapter 157: Fame in the World (10)

“… If you still have any questions that are not clear, please pay attention to the number 104 equation and its solution on page 28 of the paper that you have sent down..."

"Your question is flawed in itself, but the answer to it can be found in Chapter VI, Section 4 of the book "Principles of Algebraic Geometry" by Mr. Grothendieck..."

“… I object to your question, because it seems to me to be a false proposition, and you can add to it tomorrow by other scholars of the Moder conjecture..."

"I have already given a detailed proof of this problem in my debriefing, and you can go back and look at part of the description of the elliptic line on page 16 of the manuscript, and the solution I have given is..."

The professors from various schools and research institutes asked different questions, but Junxin coped with them easily, which also relieved the three people in the audience who were carrying a heart, Professor Chen, Professor Qiu and Professor Zheng. For the questions raised by the mathematicians in the audience, Junxin either gave positive answers, or gave merciless objections, or avoided the questions and left them to the scholars who supplemented the research the next day.

Modell's conjecture is famous all over the world, and the mathematicians who have studied him for sixty years have generally commented on what she has to say. There is no solution at all. Either that or that the problem is absolutely impossible to solve.

Spencer-Bullock, a professor at the University of Chicago (The previous article said that he was a professor at Harvard University, is wrong. It is no exaggeration to say that, at least in number theory, this is a theorem of the century, which answers questions that seem absolutely impossible to answer.

Professor Gerd Faltins, who proved Model's conjecture, also said in an interview with a reporter from Science that he thinks it is unlikely that Model's conjecture will be proved.

The Model conjecture has a huge use, and Professor Spencer-Bullock has commented that "several books could be written from the application of its results alone".

Although the proof of Modell's conjecture is considered to be a simple result, it is only relatively speaking, and without a deep knowledge of algebraic geometry, it will take a lot of hard work to understand the proof. Although it cannot be said that there are no experts in algebraic geometry in the United States, compared with Europe, the center of algebraic geometry is still in the Institut des Hautes Etudes in France, so there are relatively few experts in algebraic geometry in the United States. This also leads to the fact that when asking questions, many mathematicians ask about the meaning and solution process of some algebraic geometry equations in Junxin's paper. Again, this is one of the reasons why Junxin added about half of the original 40-page paper at the end, and if it had been submitted to European mathematical journals such as Acta Mathematica Sinica or Mathematical Inventions, Junxin would not have written nearly half of the content, perhaps even more briefly than Faltins's proof.

After Junxin answered a question from Professor Barry Mayschel, a professor in the Department of Mathematics at Harvard University, he looked around and found that no one had raised his hand to ask again. Jun Xin immediately turned his head to look out the window, I don't know when, it was already black outside the window, and he could vaguely see the graceful starlight outside through the window.

Junxin secretly raised his watch and looked at it, only to find that it had unconsciously reached more than seven o'clock in the afternoon, which was considered evening.

After waiting for about three minutes, Junxin drank the last glass of water in the water cup on the table, then looked around and said, "It seems that everyone has no problems, so please ask Professor Mirno to make a summary, thank you!" ”

As Junxin's words fell, there was a burst of warm applause in the entire auditorium. Everyone began to applaud the fact that they had witnessed a legend and a history that had been created by the people who created it are still so young and will surely achieve even greater achievements in the future.

During the applause, Professor Mirno had already arrived at the podium, and when the applause had stopped, Professor Milno said: "It seems that everyone is like me, both confused and rewarded (laughter from the audience). Once again, let us applaud Mr. Junxin, who has created a historical legend, even though he still teaches us a group of professors as a student. Congratulations to him on such a great achievement, and I look forward to doing even more. I think the Fields Medal committee is going to have a headache in the future, because there's a good chance they're going to have to deal with a brilliant mathematician who has achieved Fields Medal-level results twice, or even three times, congratulations! ”

An even louder round of applause rang out. In the United States, the Fields Medal is the highest award in mathematics, which is different from the Wolf Prize in mathematics in Europe as the highest prize or the later Abel Prize as the highest award, so Professor Milno's speech is a very high evaluation of Junxin's achievements.

"Well, ladies and gentlemen, since everyone is all right, this is the end of this speech. Tomorrow there will be other mathematicians who will extend on Mr. Junxin's Model conjecture, including Professor Gerd Faltings of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton and Professor Barry Maychel of the Department of Mathematics at Harvard University. After a pause, Professor Mirno added, "Well, my dear fellows, we at Princeton University have prepared a sumptuous dinner and sweet food, and the hotel has prepared hot water for you. Everyone can go to rest directly after dinner, PS: It's mainly our old guys. If you guys are energetic, we at Princeton have prepared discussion rooms and breakrooms for you to discuss in these rooms, and you are welcome to participate. Well, that's the end of today's report, thank you! ”

After dinner, Junxin naturally went to the discussion room prepared by Princeton. A large number of elderly professors, such as Professor Xiang Als-Alfos and Professor Mirno, naturally returned to their residences to rest. Young people such as Maysauer, Spencer, and Professor Ronald Graham all chose to go to the discussion room, and one by one they raised their glasses to discuss what they had learned today. They exchanged their opinions.

Naturally, Junxin once again became the focus. Some of the people who have been turning their brains relatively quickly have already digested the content of today's speech and the questions, and have started a new round of questions. However, Junxin didn't want to answer these questions. It's all pushed to the two professors who will appear tomorrow.

"If I finish answering all the questions, won't there be no one to ask the two professors tomorrow? God knows what would happen if I had a cold spot, but I would have to make a living under Professor Faltins, and if I did, the professor would have grabbed me by the neck and said, "Hey, man, you robbed me of my client...", Junxin explained with a smile.
