"Then I'll trouble Professor Deligne, and if there are no other problems, I'll leave first."

In the office of the audit team, Xu Chuan smiled and bowed slightly to Professor Deligne.

He knew that the old man in front of him was a perennial reviewer of the Annals of Mathematics, and he had a huge influence on the Annals of Mathematics, and with his assurance, he would not have to worry about his papers being ruined.

Of course, the Annals of Mathematics can't do that kind of thing, unless they don't want to.

"Xu, I hope to see you again in Princeton this September." Professor Deligne said with a smile.

Xu Chuan waved his hand and left the office freely.

......

The blue and white plane arced through the blue sky, and after a long time, the plane landed at the Modu International Airport.

The plane stopped, Xu Chuan carried a backpack and dragged his suitcase out of the plane.

[Congratulations to Xu Chuan, a first-level and fifth-level undergraduate student of our school, for overcoming the world's difficult Weyl-Berry conjecture. 】

In the reception hall of Modu International Airport, a large red banner attracted the attention of many passengers and airport staff.

The speed at which the Internet transmits messages is always faster than the speed of an airplane, and when Xu Chuan handed over the proof process of the Weyl-Berry conjecture to the Annals of Mathematics for publication, the accurate news that the Weyl-Berry conjecture was promoted to the Xu-Weyl-Berry theorem and that the Annals of Mathematics would be registered in the next issue of the proof had already been transmitted to China.

Compared with the news of the stage proof at the previous report meeting, this time the message was delivered more quickly.

Although the national news media did not report on the paper until it was officially published in the Annals of Mathematics, there is no doubt that the rapid circulation of the news on the Internet is due to their behind-the-scenes promotion.

The Weyl-Berry conjecture is not as famous as the Goldbach conjecture, the Riemann conjecture, the standard conjecture and other top conjectures, and even many people, including math students, are unaware of the existence of this conjecture.

But its difficulty is there, and the mathematical conjecture at the T2-T3 level has been proven to be 100% eligible for nominations for top mathematics awards such as the Fields Medal and the Abel Medal.

If there are no well-known achievements in mathematics in the next two years, two years later, at the International Congress of Mathematics, 18 years later, the Fields Medal can be expected.

Oh, including the Crawford Award in May this year, and hopefully.

Compared with applied engineering, in the area of basic science, compared with Western countries, domestic basic science is indeed much weaker.

Not to mention, in mathematics, some top awards, such as the Fields Medal, the Abel Medal, and the Crawford Prize, have not been won by Chinese scholars.

Not to mention the Chinese or Chinese, it doesn't mean anything to the country.

The emergence of an outstanding local scholar, especially when he is so young, only 18 years old, has just entered the university, which can greatly enhance the self-confidence of the people, promote the development of mathematics, and greatly improve the number of students who devote themselves to the basic science of mathematics this year and in the next few years.

This is undoubtedly important for the development of the country.

Therefore, whether it is a news broadcaster, or a media worker such as Renren Daily and Youth Daily, they have already prepared their articles.

Waiting, only the proof of the Weyl-Berry conjecture was published in the Annals of Mathematics.

As soon as the paper is published, these national apparatus will be activated and promoted across the country and even the world, so as to help enhance Xu Chuan's fame and then win top mathematics awards such as the Crawford Medal, the Fields Medal, and the Abel Medal.

After all, this is no longer Xu Chuan's business alone, but it is linked to national honor.

For these formal news outlets, they will only confirm and publish 100% of the papers when they are published, but for the media workers below, it is different.

They don't need to be published in a formal journal, and after confirming the accurate news that the Weyl-Berry conjecture was promoted to the Xu-Weyl-Berry theorem, a carnival has already begun.

Therefore, the people who came to the airport to receive Xu Chuan today were not only Nanda who hung banners, but also countless media reporters and city leaders of Jinling City.

When Xu Chuan came out of the airport with a backpack and a suitcase, the crowd at the reception became a sensation.

"It's coming, it's coming, it's coming out."

In the crowd, I don't know who shouted, and then, the photographer with the camera and the reporter with the microphone hugged each other and surrounded Xu Chuan, who was confused.

All kinds of flashing lights continued to sound along with the sound of kaka, and the sound of reporters' inquiries was also constant.

"Xu Chuan, how did you prove two world-class conjectures in a year's time?"

"Xu Chuan, can you share with us how you feel now?"

"Xu Chuan's ......"

The noisy sound and flashing lights directly drowned out Xu Chuan, but fortunately, the crowd separated after a while.

Mayor Jiang, the president of NTU, and the dean of the School of Mathematics, who I had seen at the school before, walked up from the road where the reporters parted.

"Congratulations to Xu Chuan, you have proved a world-class problem."

Mayor Jiang stepped forward with a smile and cordially shook Xu Chuan's hands and congratulated.

"Mayor Jiang, you're polite, it's just a trivial matter that is not worth mentioning." Xu Chuan said modestly.

"It's a trivial thing that isn't worth mentioning, a mathematical problem that no one has been able to prove for decades has been proven by you, even if it's a famous big thing all over the world, you're too modest."

Mayor Jiang patted the back of Xu Chuan's hand, and after the two exchanged pleasantries, he introduced him to the unfamiliar leader next to him.

This time, in addition to the city leaders of Jinling City, the secretary general of the province also came to pick up the plane, which shows the importance of the above.

After all, generally speaking, if you want the leaders of the province to take the initiative to pick up the airport at the airport, it is generally possible to involve high-level diplomacy abroad or the arrival of domestic top-level figures.

But for a well-known scholar like Xu Chuan, who has already proven world-class problems at a young age, and even hopes to win a Fields Medal in two years' time, it is normal to make an exception.

The group did not delay too much time at the airport, and after greeting for a while, the group got on a special car and went straight to Jinling.

After all, this is the magic capital, and it has already left the province, so if you want to hold a welcome ceremony or an award ceremony, you won't be here.

In the special car arranged by the school, Xu Chuan sat in the same car with his tutor Chen Zhengping, the dean of the School of Mathematics Rong Zhizhuan, and the principal Liu Gaojun.

After chatting for a while, the tutor Chen Zhengping looked at Xu Chuan and asked, "Come back this time, you should be graduating." ”

said that it was a question sentence, but it was actually an affirmative sentence, as long as Xu Chuan wanted to, NTU was ready to let him graduate at any time.

"If I graduate, I should have no problem with mathematics, but in physics, I don't have any good grades, so I plan to finish mathematics and graduate with physics."

Xu Chuan also knew what the mentor meant, but he didn't follow the mentor's meaning.

"It's okay, for you, physics is not a problem, after you go back to school, you will be given a physics exam, just the undergraduate content, you can get the graduation certificate after passing, it is not difficult for you."

On the side, Rong Zhizhuan, the dean of the School of Mathematics, said quickly, and after speaking, he added: "After you graduate here, the school will arrange a direct doctorate for you, and you have already contacted Princeton, and when the time comes, you will go out to study mathematics as an exchange student, and you can prepare for it." ”

In addition to the words, I almost didn't directly say that you didn't pass the physics exam.

"Well, that's not good."

Xu Chuan was made to laugh and cry by Dean Rong's words, so he made the decision for him? He didn't speak.

Without continuing to answer, Xu Chuan opened the topic and said, "That dean, after returning to the school, I want to apply for borrowing the school's astronomical observatory and astronomical observation equipment." ”

"Huh? What are you borrowing those things for? Why did you suddenly become interested in astronomy? Rong Zhizhuan asked curiously.

"Not interested in astronomy, but related to the Weyl-Berry conjecture that I proved earlier, the core of the Weyl-Berry conjecture is derived from drum fractals and spectral theory."

Xu Chuan shook his head slightly, and continued: "To put it simply, after proving the Weyl-Berry conjecture, we can use this conjecture to verify and calculate the exact size of distant stars. ”

"For example, stars, black holes, galaxies, these stars and galaxies that used to be able to judge the size of the modular lake only through some numerical values, can now be judged more accurately through this theorem."

"I thought about this aspect when I was proving the weakened form of the Weyl-Berry conjecture before, but at that time, on the one hand, the Weyl-Berry conjecture was not fully proven, and on the other hand, the astronomical observation equipment in our school had its own tasks, so I was embarrassed to speak."

"Now that the Weyl-Berry conjecture has been proven, I would like to borrow the school's astronomical observation equipment and study and demonstrate."

Rong Zhizhuan suddenly understood, nodded and said, "This is no problem, but how long will it take you?" ”

The astronomical equipment of the school is not his, but since Xu Chuan has spoken, and it has something to do with the Weyl-Berry conjecture, it will naturally not be postponed, but it will be discussed in terms of time, after all, these astronomical equipment also have their own tasks.

Xu Chuan thought for a while and replied: "It shouldn't be too long, at most half a month, if it's short, it can be done in a week or ten days, but it requires the participation of many equipment such as radio telescopes and astronomical observatories." ”

He only needs to collect the data of Betelgeuse, and it is some specified data, and it does not take too long.

"That's no problem at all, I thought you would use it for a few months, and it would be good to apply for it after you go back in ten days and half a month."

Hearing this, Rong Zhizhuan breathed a sigh of relief, it was only half a month, and it didn't affect anything.

"Regarding the need to study the Weyl-Berry conjecture to use astronomical equipment, the school will coordinate the equipment for you, but you remember to set up a scientific research project, and the amount of scientific research funding can be applied for by the school, which is related to the Weyl-Berry conjecture, if there are results, it can be used to publicize, not only the school, but also the above."

On the side, the principal Liu Gaojun, who had been sitting in the chair and had not spoken, suddenly interjected.

He understands the importance of the Weyl-Berry conjecture better than Rong Zhizhuan, and if Rong Zhizhuan only considers the mathematical value of Xu Chuan and the Weyl-Berry conjecture itself, he thinks more.

For the above, from the Weyl-Berry conjecture, no, it should be said that the greater the result derived from the Xu-Weyl-Berry theorem, the better.

This can win publicity resources to a greater extent, let more people understand, and expand influence.
