In Peverman's office, after hearing the news, Xu Chuan was stunned for a moment, and then a bright smile appeared on his face.

"This is the best news I've heard this year."

After a warm hug with Feverman, Xu Chuan then looked at Camilo de Lylis, the editor-in-chief of the Annals of Mathematics, and said gratefully: "Thank you for the efforts made by the Annals of Mathematics." ”

Lyris smiled: "No, Xu, it is we who want to thank you for sending us the proof of Hodge's conjecture, please rest assured, we will treat it well." ”

On the side, Feverman cleared his throat, looked at Xu Chuan, and said with a solemn and dignified face: "Dr. Xu Chuan, based on the great results you have achieved during your doctoral studies, you have proved your academic ability. After deliberation and discussion, we decided to award you a Ph.D. in mathematics from Princeton University. ”

"As of today, you graduated."

After a pause, the head of the Department of Mathematics continued: "In addition, after discussions between Princeton College and the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, we extend a sincere invitation to you to serve as a full professor in the Department of Mathematics at Princeton University and a tenured fellow in the School of Mathematics at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. ”

Hearing the news, Xu Chuan was stunned again, mainly because this invitation was too surprising.

Whether it is a full professor at Princeton or a tenured fellow at the School of Mathematics at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, it is the top honor of the Princeton system.

In the United States, there are three main types of university professors – assistant professors, associate professors, and full professors

Associate professors and full professors are tenured professors, and only a few schools, except for Harvard University, which only has tenured full professors and does not have the position of tenured associate professor.

Therefore, many other universities, such as Yale University and Princeton University, often take advantage of the fact that Harvard does not have tenured associate professors, and use tenured associate professors as bait to poach Harvard's associate professors.

The so-called tenure professor system means that once hired, as long as it does not violate the law and professional ethics, the employment period will be automatically extended until retirement.

Therefore, once you are rated as a professor, whether you are a professor or a professor, you will be tenured.

However, it is quite difficult to enter the professor series of universities, and it is generally necessary not only to have a Ph.D. first, but also to do postdoctoral research for several years before you can be hired as an assistant professor.

After serving as an assistant professor for about five years, he is promoted to associate professor after a rigorous review, and after serving as an associate professor for about five years, he can be promoted to full professor after a rigorous review.

It is not difficult to evaluate an associate professor, but it is very difficult to evaluate a professor, because not only must you have outstanding scientific research achievements, but you must also be well-known in your field.

Therefore, in the United States, a full professor is one of the highest honors that a university can give to a professor.

and a tenured fellow at the School of Mathematics at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.

Not to mention that.

This is the greatest glory of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.

Under the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, there are the School of Historical Studies, the School of Mathematics, the School of Natural Sciences, and the School of Social Sciences, as well as a theoretical biology research program.

Each research school has a small group of tenured fellows, supplemented by a number of visiting scholars each year.

As for the tenure fellows, as of today, they have never been awarded to any Chinese scholars.

The first Chinese in the field of mathematics to receive a tenured fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton was the emperor of mathematics, Qiu Chengtong.

Moreover, he got this position as a Chinese-American, not a purely Chinese scholar.

Xu Chuan was quite surprised that Princeton would send him the position.

After all, his current nationality can be pure Chinese nationality.

But he soon reacted and understood Princeton's urgency.

Hodge's conjecture is one of the seven millennial problems, and its status in the mathematical community is needless to say, proving that the glory it brings is even more famous all over the world.

Such an honor, the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton naturally hopes to take it into its arms. After all, this would greatly expand the influence of the Princeton School.

As for Xu Chuanhua's nationality and his age of only twenty, it is not a matter of concern in the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.

It is a research institution that is not subject to any pressure from teaching assignments, research funding or sponsors.

Although there are many times when making certain decisions, some outside influences are taken into account, but in the face of a young scholar who has demonstrated the Seven Millennium Problems, all the implications are nothing more than half an acre of square ponds.

After thinking about this, Xu Chuan smiled and said, "I accept this invitation. ”

He did not turn down invitations from Princeton University and the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.

Although he doesn't know how long he can stay here, he still has feelings for this institution.

And he has some other work to do before he officially returns to China, and it is undoubtedly much easier to deal with the status of a Princeton professor and a full fellow of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.

On the side, the editor-in-chief of the Mathematical Yearbook Lai Lisi smiled and congratulated: "Congratulations, Dr. Xu Chuan, oh no, it's time to call you Professor Xu Chuan in the future." ”

"The twenty-year-old full professor of Princeton, tsk, is another record-breaking achievement."

After a pause, the editor-in-chief looked at Feverman on the side and continued:

"If I'm not mistaken, the youngest tenured professor at Princeton was created by Feverman, who became a Princeton professor at the age of twenty-four."

"And today, this record has been broken for four whole years, which is really terrifying."

Hearing this, Feverman smiled and said, "I can't compare to this pervert, I'm four years late, and I haven't solved a century's problem at that time." ”

A person like Feverman, who skips the three stages of postdoctoral research, assistant professor, and associate professor at the age of 24, is 100% an absolute pervert.

Now, of course, someone even more perverted than he has appeared.

......

When the Annals of Mathematics and the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton jointly announced that the proof of the Hodge conjecture had passed peer review, the entire mathematical community was once again enthusiastic.

Even some netizens outside the circle on Twitter and Facebook began to talk about it.

[Incredibly, Hodge's conjecture was really solved.] 】

[It's unbelievable that a Chinese man has solved the seven millennial problems, doesn't it mean that the poor people in that country don't even wear clothes? 】

[Your prejudice against them seems to be stuck in the seventies and eighties of the last century, and now it's 2017, if you have ever been to that country, you will never say such a thing. 】

[As early as a few years ago, China was already the world's second largest economy, and they have developed very rapidly in recent years. 】

[You digress, now we are talking about the Hodge conjecture, not Huaguo.] 】

[Booth jpg, is there anything to discuss? It is an established fact in the mathematical world, what else can we do but sigh awesomely? Could it be that you can read the papers he wrote? 】

Compared with lukewarm reports abroad, domestic news reports are much more intense.

NTU, which had already made preparations, immediately hung the big red festive banners at the school gate, teaching buildings and other places.

"Congratulations to Xu Chuan, a doctoral student at our university, for overcoming the seven millennial problems of the Hodge conjecture!"

This time the banner is short, but the amount of information is very important.

Although it sounds extremely unbelievable for a doctoral student to overcome the seven millennial problems, for NTU, Xu Chuan has indeed not officially graduated from NTU's Ph.D., isn't he a student of NTU, so hanging out openly can also increase the degree of discussion and heat.

On the other hand, the Renren Daily, New Youth, and other media outlets, which had already prepared news releases, announced the news to the whole society as soon as possible.

And in the CTV news broadcast at 7 o'clock in the evening, it took up to three minutes to introduce Xu Chuan and Hodge's conjecture to the people of the whole country.

Under the operation of the national propaganda machine, the news of Hodge's conjecture being promoted to the Xu-Hodge theorem soon rushed to the top of the hot search and was learned by countless netizens.

The millennial puzzle that plagued the mathematical and physical communities has now been solved by a Chinese scholar. This is not only a miracle and glory for him alone, but also the glory of the entire Chinese mathematical community and even China.

【Hiss~! 】

【6666666】

[Except for six, except for, I don't know what to say anymore, I solved a seven-year millennial problem at the age of twenty, and I was still having a headache at the age of twenty how to make up for the algebra exam. 】

[Ma Dan, who also graduated from Kim University, feels like he has studied at a fake university. 】

[Someone else's twenty years old, prove Hodge's conjecture, solve the seven millennial problems!] My twenty-year-old, brothers, there is someone behind the door, wear him! 】

[Although I have long known that Hodge's conjecture may be proven, when this news is really confirmed, I can only say that it is very! 】

[I remember some time ago, wasn't it a bunch of people who sprayed and were slapped in the face at the end? ] Why haven't you seen any of them now? (???) (???) 】

[In other words, this elder's Philippine Award next year should be stable, right? ] 】

[Solved a seven-year millennial problem, which is unstable, and the Philippine Award will not be issued, shameful. 】

[For this elder, I'm afraid that winning the Philippine Award is not his glory, but the Philippine Award is an honor to have him, don't forget that he was over forty years old when Wiles proved Fermat's theorem, and the Philippine Award made an exception to award a silver medal to him. 】

[Suddenly I remembered the comparison between the IQ of people and people, people and pigs.] I think in front of this big man, my IQ may not be as good as that of a pig. 】

[Brother upstairs, please be bold and remove the word maybe. 】

......

When a national propaganda machine kicks in, the speed at which messages are delivered is surprisingly fast.

In just one day, the news spread from the mathematical community to the remote mountain village of Xujia Village.

This originally quiet small mountain village has become very lively in the past two days, with cars and people coming and going, and the air is filled with the smell of fireworks.

Wave after wave of leaders from the county to the city came to this remote mountain village in person.

It's not just a condolence, it's a political achievement.

The emergence of such a top talent, a world-class scholar, under their rule, is a huge achievement for any leader.

This is not only the principle of rejuvenating the country through science and education, but also the first time that such a great scholar has appeared in a native nationality, and its significance is naturally extraordinary.

Xujia Village, Xu's family, Xu Father, who had just received a wave of leaders of the Education Bureau, didn't have time to take a sip of water, when the sound of a car came from outside.

It was busy until the evening that Xu Jianguo came to his senses, and finally had time to pick up his mobile phone and dial Xu Chuan, who was far away on the other side of the world.

"Hey, Dad."

The phone rang for a while before it was connected, and the familiar voice came from the other end, which made him smile involuntarily.

"Chuan'er, have you had dinner?"

I wanted to ask what Hodge guessed it was, but when the words came to my lips, it automatically turned into a familiar inquiry.

On the other end of the phone, Xu Chuan said with a smile: "It's only early in the morning on my side, and it's not dawn yet." ”

Hearing this, Father Xu reacted: "Oh, then I'll hang up first, and I'll call you tomorrow, you go to bed first." ”

"It's okay, it's almost six o'clock on my side, and I should get up in a while." Xu Chuan sat up from the bed, picked up the clothes at the end of the bed, and draped them on his body.

"The New Year is almost the end of the month, when will you come back." Hearing Xu Chuan say this, Xu's father didn't hang up the phone, and asked with a smile.

Xu Chuan thought for a while and said, "It's the same as last year, I should go back around the New Year." ”

"Well, pay attention to safety outside, pay attention to your physical ......, and come back early for the New Year."

On the phone, Xu's father, who is usually more taciturn, nagged twice.

Although they call each other almost every week, he hasn't seen his son for almost a year.

For parents, they may be the only ones who don't care how much glory you bring them, they care more about your safety and health.

On the other end of the phone, Xu Chuan listened with a smile.

Perhaps for the average young man in his twenties, the nagging of his parents is the last thing he wants to face.

But for him, it's probably the most beautiful sound in the world.

At the age of twenty, you will be annoyed by listening to your parents' nagging, at the age of forty you will laugh when you listen to your parents' nagging, and at the age of sixty, you will probably have to nag yourself.

......

After breakfast, Xu Chuan had just returned to the dormitory when another phone call came.

Glancing at the caller ID, he had a smile on his face.

"Dude! You're just awesome! The Seven Millennium Problems have been demonstrated! ”

The phone was connected, and the excited voice came over, it was Xu Xiao's girl.

"Xiaoxiao, how are you studying lately? You're going to take the college entrance exam next year. Xu Chuan asked with a smile.

"Harm, what is the college entrance examination! Brother, I'm preparing for next year's ICO and IBO, and I'll definitely get a double gold medal next year! Xu Xiao waved his little hand and shouted excitedly.

Hearing this, Xu Chuan couldn't help but smile and said, "Then you have to come on, the double gold medal is not so easy to get." ”

Speaking of which, his sister's idea is really peculiar.

At the beginning, when Xu Xiao chose Xingcheng No. 1 Middle School, he thought that this girl would follow his footsteps on the path of mathematics or physics, and Lao Tang was also ready to focus on training.

Unexpectedly, this girl not only did not go to physics, but also did not go to mathematics, but eventually developed a strong interest in chemistry and biology.

Not only that, but this year she also participated in the International Chemistry Olympiad (ICHO) and the International Biology Olympiad (IBO), both of which have achieved a lot of results.

Don, who was originally going to take her to create another brilliant physical role, was almost crying and fainting in the toilet.
