"Xu Yun is not just trying to prove the Hodge conjecture, it can be said that he has already proved the Hodge conjecture."

"The editorial board of the Annals of Mathematics has made a preliminary argument."

Among them, Professor Deligne of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton also gave a very high evaluation.

Professor Witten, a Fields Medal winner, said that Xu Yun had enabled mathematicians to unify the two fields of algebraic geometry and topology to a certain extent.

Although the main field of Xu Chongxing's research is not mathematics, physics and mathematics are essentially one and the same, and if there is a great progress in mathematics, it will also indirectly affect physics. Therefore, when he said this, his whole person seemed extremely excited.

Originally, he was looking for Wu Zhongping today to report on the progress of the longitudinal project of the institute, but he happened to encounter such a big surprise.

So much so that Xian Qin Xiangxin and Tang Yanshan knew about it one step at a time, and did not leave the office for a long time.

Publishing a paper in the Mathematics Yearbook in his sophomore year can be called a gifted mathematical genius.

To study the Hodge conjecture is to be bold and like to be challenged.

But the success of proving Hodge's conjecture is beyond normal cognition and belongs to the genius of geniuses.

Wizard.

Rationally speaking, both Tang Yanshan and Qin Xiangxin have a hard time believing that their students have proved the world's mathematical problems.

However, the Annals of Mathematics is not a garbage journal, and since it can be accepted by the editorial board and published urgently, the paper must be of great value. What's more, Fields Medal winners such as Delineweten have a pivotal position in the mathematical community, and it is also very telling to give Xu Yun's paper such a high evaluation.

"The world's math problems have been proven by the undergraduates in our department, if you don't hit me, I shouldn't be dreaming."

Qin Xiangxin was already difficult to maintain the majesty of his dean at this moment, and he didn't care that the principal was still by his side, so he said this directly to Xu Chongxing.

"If only you could wake up laughing in your dreams now, you would still need to fight." Xu Chongxing glanced at Qin Xiangxin when he heard this.

did not hide the envy in his tone in the slightest.

In the words of the students, it was the teeth that were about to be crushed.

"You're right, I'm afraid I'm going to lose sleep tonight." Qin Xiangxin automatically ignored Xu Chongxing's eyes, full of emotion.

However, the smile that appeared on the corner of his mouth still revealed the true thoughts in his heart.

It makes you want to beat it up.

Xu Chongxing picked up the teacup in front of him and drank a few sips in a row before he could suppress this impulse.

"This paper has been published in the Annals of Mathematics, and the original English version will soon be transmitted to China."

"The math world is going to be quiet for some time to come."

After Tang Yanshan heard Xu Chongxing's last sentence, he couldn't care about thinking about other things, and there was only one thought left in his mind.

That's to see the content of the paper right away.

So the next second, he immediately put forward his idea to Wu Zhongping.

"Principal Wu."

"Can I borrow my computer?"

Wu Zhongping naturally understood Tang Yanshan's plan, and when he heard this, he turned around and pointed to the computer on his desk and said with a smile: "Go and see, I believe it will definitely surprise you." ”

Tang Yanshan did not hesitate to get the approval, and immediately walked quickly to the principal's position.

As soon as he sat down, he noticed that the page that opened was the official website of the Annals of Mathematics.

After finding the latest issue of the journal, Xu Yun's paper on the proof process of Hodge's conjecture suddenly came into view, and people couldn't take their eyes off it.

The author does only have Xu Yun's own name.

Although Xu Chongxing's words just now made him mentally prepared and knew that this paper had a high gold content, he was still impressed by the ingenious ideas and complex formulas in it after immersing himself in it.

If he was skeptical that Hodge's conjecture had been proven to be true, he had already believed most of it when he saw this paper.

recalled that Xu Yun also asked him for algebraic geometry problems before, and he grew to this point in a blink of an eye.

It can be said that it makes him both happy and bitter.

I am glad that I can have such an excellent student, who has been engaged in mathematical research for decades, and it is better for a genius to burst out of inspiration.

It can only be said that he gave Xu Yun the key to enter algebraic geometry, but Xu Yun found the most valuable wealth in it with his own efforts, which no one else could envy.

At this time, Wu Zhongping withdrew his gaze from Tang Yanshan and told Qin Xiangxin and Xu Chongxing about the next plan.

"I just spoke with Academician Yuan Chengming, chairman of the Mathematical Society, and I will announce this matter to the world."

"In addition, it is necessary to actively organize academic exchange report meetings."

"The main station will also send reporters and teams over to shoot a short film for our Xu Yun, the prover of Hodge's conjecture."

"With Xu Yun's paper, our authority in the international mathematical community will also be greatly enhanced." Qin Xiangxin nodded and said in a deep voice, while appreciating Wu Zhongping's plans, he did not forget to fight for Xu Yun's deserved benefits: "But principal, Xu Yun's paper published in the Mathematics Yearbook proves Hodge's conjecture, how much bonus is the school going to give?" ”

"Don't worry, dean, no matter whether Xu Yun's proof process can be recognized by the mathematics community in the end, our school will award a million prize money to encourage and support."

Wu Zhongping had obviously thought of this a long time ago, and after saying the previous sentence, he added with a smile.

"There are also rewards from the Math Society."

Although Xu Yun, as the founder of Deepin Technology, has no shortage of this bonus at all, the original intention of setting up the bonus is to encourage scholars to research results, which has special significance.

More able to motivate others.

So no matter whether Xu Yun has money or not, the corresponding bonus will not be less.

After clarifying this matter, Wu Zhongping asked about Xu Yun's itinerary again, after all, how could he do it if the protagonist was not there.

"Xu Yun, are their group coming back today?"

"After participating in the expert interview yesterday and getting the results, I should go to the city high-speed rail station this afternoon."

"That's good, you can drive to pick him up in the afternoon, and then invite him to my office." After listening to Qin Xiangxin's answer, Wu Zhongping said something to him in a deep voice.

"No problem." Qin Xiangxin responded decisively.

And then his eyes looked at Tang Yanshan, who was engrossed in attention, and Qin Xiangxin couldn't help but sigh.

"It seems that our mathematics department is about to lose Xu Yun, and now looking at the entire department, I'm afraid we won't be able to find a professor and academician who can still teach him."

He wasn't wrong about what he said, Xu Yun proved Hodge's conjecture regardless of whether there was luck or not.

On this issue, Tang Yanshan only has the share of asking for advice, and it is indeed difficult to maintain the identity of a mentor.

However, his words made Xu Chongxing's face look happy, and he immediately took over the conversation and said happily: "I quite welcome Xu Yun to our courtyard. ”

"The future is still up to Xu Yun to decide, I believe he will have a good plan."

Faced with the argument between the two deans of the school, Wu Zhongping hurriedly interjected a sentence to skim over the topic.

In the following time, Qin Xiangxin and Xu Chongxing did not continue to stay in the principal's office, and then left one after another to busy their own affairs.

Only Tang Yanshan is completely immersed in the paper, and if he doesn't finish reading it, he believes that he will definitely not stop halfway.

Wu Zhongping naturally didn't mind at all about this, and even took the documents to the sofa for office.

……

……

Based on the time difference between the two different regions, it is currently eight or nine o'clock in the evening, but for many mathematicians it is destined to be an all-nighter.

With the publication of the proof of the Hodge conjecture in the Annals of Mathematics with this month's issue, coupled with the intentional publicity of the editorial board.

The news that Hodge's conjecture seemed to have been proved quickly spread in the mathematical community, and mathematicians from all over the world immediately conducted research and demonstration of the paper.

In particular, they were incredulous to see that the provers, a young man from the East, and that they had studied independently, which made them even more skeptical of the accuracy of the proof process. Therefore, he decisively chose to argue all night, wanting to overturn the proof process in the paper.

But as they continued to argue, they became more and more frightened, because they could not find any mistakes.

Later, many mathematicians were even anxious to communicate with the authors of the papers.

At the Clay Institute of Mathematics in Cambridge, the conference room is brightly lit and strewn with papers full of mathematical formulas.

Griffith, who was the chair professor of the institute, suddenly stood up from the ground and clutched a piece of scratch paper with both hands, and the whole person looked very excited.

"It's so subtle."

"It turned out that it could be like this, why didn't I think of it."

"Genius."

"What a genius."

Even though he was the only one in the room, he didn't care and muttered to himself.

Since the Russian mathematician Perelman proved the Poincaré conjecture, there have been attempts to prove the Hodge conjecture ten years later, which is undoubtedly great news for the mathematical community.

From the moment he got his hands on this issue of the Annals of Mathematics, he locked himself in this room to demonstrate the process of conjecture.

During this period, he also discussed with other professors in the institute, as well as Professor Deligne, the first professor to demonstrate this proof.

The preliminary conclusion is that there are no problems with the certification process.

It is no exaggeration to say that he was now eager to meet the young attestifier from the East and discuss the contents of the paper with him.

Meanwhile.

Well-known universities such as Oxford, Harvard, and the School of Mathematics have also become lively because of this paper.

Some research teams have even used computer-aided verification, seemingly trying to overturn Xu's proof process in various ways.

I really can't accept that the world's math problems will be suddenly proved by a young man.

However, mathematics is the least deceiving, they have studied for so many years without success in proving the conjecture, and now that there is a complete proof process, how can it be so easy to overturn.

——

Although the news in China was slow, after being informed by Jingzhou University, the Mathematics Society quickly reacted and organized a discussion with professors.

At noon, he joined forces with the account of Jingzhou University, the news station, the Xinhua News Agency, the New Youth and other official media to jointly announce this exciting good news for the domestic mathematics community.

In addition to stating that Hodge's conjecture was suspected to be proved by Xu Yun, an undergraduate student at Jingzhou University, the article also deliberately attached the editorial board of the Annals of Mathematics, as well as the evaluations given by many mathematicians such as Deligne.

Coupled with the letter of thanks from Princeton University officially announced by Jingzhou University, the whole network boiled and topped the hot search list on major platforms in an instant.

Thank you for the 100 coin reward from Kunlin Yuanshan, and thank you for the 100 book coin reward from the book friend 20230129280432!
