Chapter 113: The Favor of a Fields Medal Winner
July 15, 2028!
In the evening, Ye Fei landed in Xiangjiang by plane.
He was accompanied by two of his students.
The Shaw Prize is an international award, and the scholars who participate are internationally renowned scholars.
Therefore, while accepting the award, Ye Fei brought his two students out to see the world.
"Professor Ye!" As soon as Ye Fei came out of the airport, he heard someone calling him.
Ye Fei turned his head to look, and there was a short middle-aged man in short sleeves standing not far away.
Ye Fei took his two students, greeted them with a smile, and said, "Director Ma, I haven't seen you for many years, hello!" ”
Director Ma is Director Ma who Ye Fei went to Xiangjiang University of Science and Technology and entertained him throughout the process.
As he spoke, the two shook hands eagerly as they approached.
After letting go, Director Ma smiled and said, "Professor Ye, this time is different from the past, I can hear many legendary rumors about you in Xiangjiang. ”
"You're no longer an ordinary professor today!"
Director Ma was full of emotion in his heart, in just a few years, Ye Fei has grown into a well-known scholar in Xia Province with multi-field development.
Ye Fei shook his head amusedly and said, "Director Ma, don't entertain me, I'm still me, an ordinary scholar." ”
Director Ma smiled and said, "If you are still an ordinary scholar, all scholars in this world will be ordinary scholars." ”
Ye Fei looked left and right, and there were all people coming and going, and they were standing here at the exit of the station.
Ye Fei said: "Let's stop blowing each other in this business, let's go!" ”
"Good!" Director Ma nodded: "Please!" ”
After speaking, Director Ma took Ye Fei and the others to the parking lot.
After that, I got into a bright black business car, and the driver drove towards the hotel.
After getting on the bus, Ye Fei introduced his two students to Director Ma.
Director Ma looked at Ye Fei's two students and said with a smile: "You can become Professor Ye's students, you must be outstanding!" ”
The two lowered their heads shyly, and Lin Yi said curtly: "No, we are very ordinary." ”
After speaking, looking at Wang Yuan, Wang Yuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, we are very ordinary." ”
Ye Fei nodded and said in his heart: "Not bad, honest." ”
Wang Yuan and Lin Yi, although they have good mathematical talents.
But it's only good among ordinary people, and there is still a certain gap compared to mathematical geniuses.
Ye Fei predicts that it is impossible for these two people to become internationally renowned scholars in the future.
But it is possible to become a well-known scholar in the Xia Kingdom.
Director Ma looked at Ye Fei and said with a smile: "Your students are just like you, they are very low-key!" ”
Lin Yi added: "It's just that the mentor has a discerning eye and found us in a group of excellent people." ”
After speaking, looking at Wang Yuan, Wang Yuan nodded and said, "That's right, it was the mentor who discovered us in a group of excellent people." ”
Director Ma's expression froze, and he looked at Ye Fei and said, "Your two students are really interesting, haha......"
"Haha......" Ye Fei smiled awkwardly, and then secretly glared at Wang Yuan and Lin Yi.
Wang Yuan and Lin Yi bowed their heads slightly and smiled embarrassedly.
After that, Ye Fei chatted with Director Ma about some gossip.
Both of them are in the academic circle, so naturally they are talking about the academic circle.
Although in terms of status, Ye Fei's status in the academic circle is much higher than that of Director Ma.
Director Ma has been staying in Xiangjiang for many years, as the most cutting-edge city in Xiaguo, all walks of life and fields are in line with international standards.
Therefore, Director Ma knows much more about the international academic community than Ye Fei.
Director Ma said: "I have also heard about the Web3.0 you developed, but I heard that Beili is also investing a lot of money in the research and development of Web3.0. ”
"Professors from many top universities around the world and top scholars in the field of mathematics and computer science have been invited to do research in Beiliguo."
"Even some Fields Medal winners and Turing Award winners were invited over."
"The investment alone is more than $50 billion, which is already equivalent to the index finger of a large international listed company."
"Now it seems that Beili is very determined to develop Web3.0."
"And you said at the press conference that you will develop Web3.0 before the end of December this year, are you confident that Web3.0 will be developed before Beili develops Web3.0?"
Ye Fei nodded and said, "Of course, money is very important for scientific research, and talent is also very important. ”
"But it's not that the more money you invest, the more talents, you can succeed in research and development."
"If this is the case, China's research and development of low nano lithography machine will not be developed for so long."
"Is Xia Guo short of money?"
"There is no shortage!"
"Is there a shortage of talent?"
"There is no shortage either."
"Therefore, for scientific research, although there is a big relationship between money and talent, the success of scientific research is not only determined by money and people."
"Hmm!" Director Ma nodded and said, "I agree with what you said." ”
Director Ma suddenly said seriously: "I just want to know now, can you really develop Web3.0 before the end of December?" ”
"Don't lie to me, I'm not asking on my behalf, I'm asking on behalf of many people in the Xiangjiang academic circle."
"They're all concerned about it."
In the past, Xiangjiang, Wan Province, Korea and Xinguo were the four Asian tigers.
And now, the continent of Xia is the sole dragon of Asia, and the rest of the countries are younger brothers, relying on the development of the continent of Xia.
Therefore, Xiangjiang has always been very concerned about the Xia Continent.
Any disturbance on the mainland has attracted the attention of Xiangjiang.
Not only the academic community is concerned, but also all walks of life and fields in Hong Kong.
And such a big event as Web 3.0 can change the living habits of the whole earth.
Naturally, it is very concerned by Xiangjiang.
Ye Fei looked at Director Ma's serious expression, and he also said seriously: "Director Ma, I sincerely tell you that this is true, and we will definitely develop Web3.0 before the end of December." ”
"I originally planned to start Web3.0 this month, but because of the departure of V God, one of the four core technologies of the blockchain is missing."
"It will lead to Web3.0 not being able to open, and now we have found a way to replace the blockchain system of V God."
"Moreover, the main research has been successfully studied, and it will definitely be successfully studied in November this year, and Web 3.0 can be launched in December."
When Director Ma heard this, his heart was relieved.
Since Ye Fei said so, it means that Web3.0 will definitely be successfully developed by the end of December.
Director Ma, as a native of Xiangjiang and Xia, naturally hopes that Web3.0 will open in Xia, and does not want the conspiracy of Beili to succeed.
The Xia continent is good, and Xiangjiang is good!
When the country is strong, the people are strong!
As a member of the Xia Kingdom, he certainly hopes that the country will become stronger and stronger.
Director Ma smiled: "So I can rest assured, Professor Ye, I hope you can develop Web3.0 as soon as possible, and I hope Web3.0 will be released in Xiaguo." ”
Ye Fei smiled confidently: "It will be." ”
As he spoke, the car drove into a hotel.
Ye Fei got out of the car and pulled his suitcase into the hotel to check in.
This hotel was arranged by the Shaw Prize Council.
All the attendees of the Shaw Awards were accommodated in this hotel.
After completing the check-in procedures, Director Ma said: "I won't go up, I have time to come to Xiangjiang University of Technology, after all, you are also a visiting professor of Xiangjiang University of Technology." ”
When Director Ma heard that Ye Fei came to Xiangjiang, he specially sent Ye Fei to the hotel and talked to Ye Fei about something.
Ye Fei smiled: "Okay! ”
After Director Ma left, Ye Fei took the elevator upstairs with his luggage.
After putting down his luggage, Ye Fei wandered around the hotel.
It is a five-star hotel with a gym, swimming pool, bar, KTV, restaurant, café and ......
It is also a very luxurious hotel in the whole Xiangjiang, and it costs about 3,000 yuan for a night.
The entire hotel has been chartered by the Shaw Prize Council and is available to attendees of the Shaw Prize Ceremony, one room per person.
As you can imagine, the Shaw Prize Council has a lot of money.
The entire hotel is filled with scholars from all over the world.
Corridors, lobbies, bars, swimming pools, gyms......
There were many scholars gathered everywhere to communicate, Ye Fei walked to the side to listen, and when he heard that he was interested, he would stop and talk to them, and if he was not interested, he would listen for a while and then leave.
Today and tomorrow are not the Shaw Prize Ceremony, the Shaw Prize Ceremony is the day after tomorrow.
Therefore, Ye Fei has been communicating mathematics with others for two days.
Cafe!
Ye Fei was sitting and chatting with a few people, led by a German mathematician in the crowd, and the rest were all top or well-known mathematicians in the world, Ye Fei sat on the side and listened.
The German mathematician, Gerd Faltings, was a Fields Medal winner who was 32 years old when he won the prize.
Looking at the Fields Medal winners, most of them are in their thirties, and a very small number are in their twenties.
Those in their twenties who won awards were all twenty-eight or nineteen years old.
Gerd is also a Shaw Laureate in Mathematical Sciences.
Gerd was awarded the Fields Medal in 1986 and the Shaw Prize in Mathematical Sciences in 2015.
This does not mean that the Shaw Prize in Mathematical Sciences is more important than the Fields Prize.
Rather, the Shaw Prize was created in 2002, and the first Shaw Prize Presentation Ceremony was held in 2004.
It wasn't until 2015 that Gerd won an award for the development of basic tools in number theory that allowed them and others to solve long-standing classical mathematical problems.
Gerd specializes in number theory, such as the Modell conjecture in number theory, the parameter mode space of Abelian clusters, the Riemann theorem of arithmetic surfaces, and Padic's Hodge theory.
Gerd is now explaining Riemann's theorem to arithmetic surfaces.
Ye Fei is working on the quantum layer conjecture, which is a fundamental problem in Riemannian geometry.
Nature requires a large amount of Riemann's theorem.
And what Gerd explained at the moment was very helpful to Ye Fei's research.
Gerd said: "Using the Weierstrass function points, we prove the compact Riemannian surface of the deficit g>1......"
Gerd spoke eloquently, and the people around him listened very carefully.
Gerd said: "Through the Weierstrass function determinant theorem, we know that not every point is a Weierstrass function point. ”
"I'm now working on the Weierstrass function on a compact Riemannian surface M."
"We are looking for a suitable concept to study the upper and lower bounds of the number of points of the Weierstrass function."
Everyone nodded, their hearts in admiration.
As a Fields Medal winner, if you prove the upper and lower bounds of the number of points of the Weierstrass function, then you can prove the deficit on a compact Riemann surface.
In the end, it was proved that the compact Riemann surface was realized.
If the compact Riemann surface is proved, the Riemann conjecture can be further proved.
Of course, there is still a distance of 108,000 miles between proving the compact Riemann surface and proving the Riemann conjecture.
However, if you don't accumulate steps, you can't reach thousands of miles, you can't accumulate small streams, and you can't become rivers and seas.
As the most difficult of the seven conjectures in mathematics, the Riemann conjecture cannot be solved by one person.
Rather, it will take the efforts of the entire mathematical community to prove the Riemann hypothesis.
Ye Fei said: "What about the concept of Q-order pure differentiation!" ”
"Huh?" Everyone looked at Ye Fei in surprise.
A mathematician from Beili Kingdom frowned and looked at Ye Fei, and said dissatisfiedly: "What do you know? Can you understand Professor Gerd's mathematical research? ”
Ye Fei was the person with the lowest level of mathematics among all the people present, and he was also the person with the lowest status as a mathematician.
All of the people present are internationally renowned or top mathematicians who have won international mathematics awards.
However, Ye Fei is not an internationally renowned mathematician and has not won an international mathematics award.
Of course, these are not the main reasons why the mathematician of the Northern Beauty Kingdom reprimanded Ye Fei.
The main reason is that the relationship between Ye Fei and Beili is very bad, and most scholars in Beili are very dissatisfied with Ye Fei.
Ye Fei ignored the mathematician from Beili Kingdom, but looked at Gerd and said, "Professor Geld, if Q-order pure differentiation is introduced, we should be able to prove the upper and lower bounds of the number of points of Weierstrass function!" ”
Gerd frowned and pondered, and everyone saw that Gerd frowned and pondered, and they did not bother.
After a long time, Gerd's expression moved slightly, and a trace of interest flashed in his eyes, as if Ye Fei was right, the introduction of Q-order pure differentiation can indeed prove the upper and lower bounds of the number of points of Weierstrass function.
Gerd looked at Ye Fei and said, "Tell me carefully." ”
When the mathematician from Beili heard Gerd's words, his lips moved, and he stopped talking, but he didn't say it in the end, but just glanced at Ye Fei resentfully.
The rest of the people were attracted by the conversation between the two and did not notice the expression of the mathematician of the North Beauty.
Even if they do, they won't pay attention.
They only focus on math, and they don't pay attention to what's right/straight.
Ye Fei stood up and switched places with a mathematician, so that he was in the middle of the crowd.
Ye Fei picked up the pen and paper on the table in front of him and wrote down the calculation process on it.
After writing, Ye Fei said: "Let M be a Riemann surface ......"
As Ye Fei explained, Gerd's eyes became brighter and brighter.
After Ye Fei finished speaking, he said excitedly: "Yes, it should be solved like this." ”
"By introducing the concept of q-order total differentiation, we can find the holopure function g, so that ......"
After speaking, Gerd looked at Ye Fei with bright eyes, Ye Fei was a little uncomfortable by him, and a shy smile appeared on his face.
Gerd said excitedly: "Your name is Ye or something......"
Gerd knew Ye Fei, but the names of Xia Guoren were always so strange, he only knew what Ye Fei's name was, and he forgot what his name was.
"Ye Fei!"
"Yes!" Gerd smiled: "Your name is Ye Fei, thank you very much for providing me with ideas, count me as a favor I owe you, let's leave each other's contact information!" ”
"Without violating morality and the bottom line, I promise to help you math once."
Ye Fei hurriedly shook his head and said, "Professor Geld, no, I also had a whim after listening to your explanation." ”
Many people around were listening to Gerd's math explanations, and everyone's thoughts followed Gerd's train of thought, and naturally they had many inspirations.
Ye Fei just absorbed everyone's inspiration, and finally found the most correct solution for Geld.
Therefore, Gerd said that he owed himself a favor, and Ye Fei was very reluctant not to go.
Gerd said solemnly, "I don't want to owe you. ”
Ye Fei looked at his serious expression and sighed helplessly in his heart.
Ye Fei has long heard that Germans are the most old-fashioned, but they are also the most rigorous, and they don't deceive me!
The rest of the people looked at Ye Fei with envy, and the Beili native was envious, jealous and hateful.
This is the favor of Fields Medal winner Geerde!
Ordinary people want it and can't get it!
Ye Fei wanted to push out the favor instead.
It's really starving to death, holding on to death.
Ye Fei nodded and said, "Okay!" ”
After speaking, Ye Fei took out his mobile phone and left contact information with Geld.
Next, they continued to communicate, but everyone paid more attention to Ye Fei and saw what good suggestions Ye Fei would have.
And Ye Fei lived up to expectations and could always give some correct insights.
This surprised everyone.
Unexpectedly, Ye Fei was so talented and insightful in mathematics at a young age, and he could always give very ingenious ways to solve math problems.
Gerd also nodded slightly, and said in his heart: "A young mathematician with great potential, I don't know if he can compete for the Fields Medal in the future." ”
"If you can win a Fields Medal, then we can compete with each other."
Mathematicians are divided into many grades, and Fields Medal winners are one grade and the highest.
The winners of the Wolf Prize in Mathematics belong to the second bracket, and the winners of the Gauss, Chern, Naiwanglinna and Abel Prizes belong to the third bracket.
The Carfford Prize is in the fourth bracket and the Shaw Prize in Mathematical Sciences is in the fifth bracket.
The rest of the mathematicians who did not win international awards were in the sixth bracket.
Of course, mathematician abilities vary from grade to grade.
Even Fields Medal winners are strong and weak.
For example, Tao Zhexuan is relatively strong among Fields Medal winners.
And Yau Chengtong is also a Fields Medal winner, and he is stronger than Tao Zhexuan.
Tao Zhexuan is known as the Mozart of mathematics, and Yau Chengtong is known as Julius Caesar of mathematics.
It's just that Tao Zhexuan is still very young, and Qiu Chengtong is already old.
In terms of potential, Tao Zhexuan is higher than Qiu Chengtong.
And Yau Chengtong has more experience than Tao Zhexuan.
In the evening, Ye Fei returned to the room and recorded all his thoughts on the computer.
After a long time, Ye Feixin said: "From the lectures in the past two days, it has been of great help to my research on quantum layer conjectures. ”
"With this kind of research, the quantum layer conjecture will probably be proven in September."
"As soon as the quantum layer conjecture was proven, I published my paper."
"Aim to pass the paper by the end of September."
"In this way, I was selected by academicians."
Ye Fei is full of expectations for the selection of academicians.
In Xia Kingdom, there are many things that only academicians are qualified to do.
"As long as I am elected as an academician, I can preside over some major research."
"And without becoming an academician, many things are always tied."
Here we are talking about major research, such as nuclear fusion.
If Ye Fei was not an academician, it would be impossible to preside over the research and development of nuclear fusion.
The title of academician is not important, what matters is status and power.
So much more can be done.
Nuclear fusion is not like Web 3.0.
Web3.0 is because Ye Fei developed asymmetric encryption, and it was developed from scratch, so the state asked him to develop Web3.0.
But the nuclear fusion project, the country has been developing and has certain results.
Then the research and development of nuclear fusion was not created by Ye Fei from scratch, but let him preside over it halfway.
At this time, you must be an academician, otherwise the country will not be at ease, and those who participate in nuclear fusion research and development will also have opposing opinions.
Ye Feixin said: "Academician, the title that all scholars dream of. ”
"But this is only an important first step in my academic career, and there is still a long way to go."
Ye Fei's plan for his future is very clear, academician is the first step, followed by winning many international awards.
The ultimate goal is to prove the seven conjectures of mathematics.
"Of course, it is still unknown whether it can be proven!"
