The Wolf Prize was established by the Wolf Foundation in Israel and includes five prizes: mathematics, physics and chemistry, medicine, and agronomy.

Later, an art prize was added.

Among them, the Wolf Prize in Mathematics, the Abel Prize, and the Fields Medal are the three major awards in mathematics.

It is the highest honor that mathematicians around the world want to achieve.

The Wolf Prize in Mathematics is selected for mathematicians who have made significant contributions to the mathematical community.

There is no age limit.

There are many older mathematicians who have not been able to win the Fields Medal, which has an age limit, so they have to put their hopes on the Wolf Prize.

Xu Yun has proved that there are infinite prime numbers in the Hodge conjecture and the Fibonacci sequence, and the contribution to the mathematical community alone is worse than even Perelman, who proved the Poincaré conjecture, and it stands to reason that the award in the mathematical community should be honored with him.

But the reality is that the judges are responsible for the evaluation of the awards, and it does not mean that the award will be won if it proves any problem.

If they don't give it to you, there's no way.

After all, these awards are all set up by famous overseas mathematicians.

So far, no real Chinese person who has received traditional education has won the highest honor in the field of mathematics.

Xu Yun's appearance has given everyone hope, so in addition to the Mathematics Association, many ordinary netizens are also paying attention to the announcement of the list of the Wolf Mathematics Prize.

On January 26, local time, the Wolf Foundation officially announced all the winners.

Because the math prizes are lined up first, everyone can see the names of the winners at a glance.

The other party is from Stanford University.

Xu Yun, who is clearly called a young genius, was not selected for the Wolf Prize in Mathematics.

When the news was quickly reported back to China and reported by the official media, the topic of Xu Yun's defeat quickly appeared on the hot search of major websites.

The number of topic comments is rising at a rocket-like rate.

Many people were indignant and expressed their regret that Xu Yun was not selected for the Wolf Prize in Mathematics.

Again, this is not surprising.

I think it's expected.

"It's unbelievable that the world's math problems can't win the Wolf Prize in Mathematics."

"Overseas awards are so complicated?"

"It's not that you can't get it, but Xu Shen is too young now, maybe he can get it in a few years."

"It can only be said that the Wolf Prize in Mathematics also depends on qualifications, and there are too many mathematicians who have been blocked out of the Fields Medal, and they all want to win the Wolf Prize in Mathematics to win this lifetime honor."

"What's the point of a late award."

"I have already guessed this result, I can only say that Xu Shen is our person."

"Let's wait for the Fields Medal to be announced in August, mathematicians under the age of forty can't compare with Xu Shen."

……

Compared with the support of domestic netizens for Xu Yun, many users on the overseas website Twitter sneered, once again attributing Xu Yun's contribution to the mathematical community on luck. Some people even said that the Wolf Foundation did not award the award because it saw Xu Yun's true level, and called on the Abel Medal and Fields Medal juries not to award awards to Xu Yun.

"There's no way they have that kind of mathematical genius, it's just luck."

"The Wolf Foundation must have confirmed that the other party's level is not good, so it did not award the Wolf Prize in Mathematics to him."

"That Xu Yun is just a little more lucky than other mathematicians, how can he get the highest honor in the mathematics world."

"I don't think the topological group theory he proposed will work at all, and I heard that it has long been stopped now."

"Our professors at Seoul University have actually proved the world's mathematical problem Hodge's conjecture a long time ago, but he has never published a paper and made it public, and that Xu Yun must have plagiarized our proof."

In the face of this kind of enthusiasm involving the entire mathematical community, local media, television stations and newspapers will definitely not just look at it, but will naturally end up analyzing and reporting from all angles.

On the same day, the news of Xu Yun's defeat made headlines overseas, and even a TV station specially organized a program.

However, netizens are talking about it, but no well-known mathematician has come out in person to express his position.

The most posts were published to congratulate the winners of the Wolf Prize in Mathematics.

Obviously, they still recognize Xu Yun's strength.

Following.

Xu Yun is staying at the Institute for Advanced Study in Mathematics, making a final improvement of his topological group theory.

He didn't pay much attention to the so-called prize, and didn't even know that today was the day the Wolf Prize in Mathematics was announced.

The only one who knows the most is the Fields Medal, which is known as the Nobel Prize in mathematics.

However, this will have to wait until the International Congress of Mathematicians in August.

"Whew~"

"After several months of continuous demonstration, the argument was finally completed."

"The theory has matured."

Xu Yun at the desk suddenly puffed up his chest, put down the pen in his hand, looked at the dense mathematical formulas on the scratch paper in front of him, and the corners of his mouth slowly rose and a heartfelt smile appeared. While muttering softly in his mouth, he did not hide the joy on his face at all, and the depression of perfecting the topological group theory for many days dissipated in an instant.

Yes.

He successfully perfected the topological group theory.

More strictly speaking, it should be called a theorem for now.

Xu's theorem.

The key is that he did not use his brain to overclock during this period, and relied on his current strength to conduct research.

It can be said that this joy is more joyful than the proof of Hodge's conjecture.

After all, he didn't make too much effort to prove Hodge's conjecture, but only mastered the process of extracting the proof.

The advent of Xu's theorem also means that he can start writing and publishing related papers.

Even because the whole process is in my head, the paper is not too difficult to write.

I believe that one more Annals of Mathematics will be submitted soon.

"Strike while the iron is hot, and just start writing your paper today."

Xu Yun stood up and poured himself a glass of water, and after a little movement of his body, he decided to take advantage of the current momentum to finish the paper.

Save those professors who study number theory in China, and from time to time they have to come over to urge them offline.

Among them, Satoshi Yutani is the most frequent.

The reason for the choice is also very legitimate, and I came to Gyeongju University to give a lecture on mathematics.

In this regard, Qin Xiangxin will definitely not refuse.

As for those voices overseas, he can't see them anyway, so he just chooses to ignore them.

But just as he turned on the computer, he suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from outside the office.

"Xu Yun."

"Something is wrong."

As soon as he raised his gaze, he saw several roommates in the dormitory pushing open the door, and Qian Yudong was full of indignation.

Knowing Qian Yudong's character, Xu Yun didn't pay much attention to the big things in his mouth, but first set his eyes on Zhou Qi and Zhao Yuefeng.

"Why do you two have time to come over, how are you reviewing?"

Zhao Yuefeng and Zhou Qi are both people who plan to study for graduate school, among which Zhou Qi is likely to be able to obtain the qualification of the university, while Zhao Yuefeng needs to take this year's graduate examination.

There are only ten months left to complete the fight.

For this reason, Zhao Yuefeng soaked in the library as long as he had time, and even canceled all the activities with the girls in the photography club.

It is similar to his dedication to perfecting topological group theory.

Under normal circumstances, he should be in the library today and Saturday, but it was really surprising that he could come with Zhou Qi and Qian Yudong.

As Xu Yun walked farther and farther, the time they spent seeing each other decreased, but Zhao Yuefeng's gratitude to Xu Yun became greater and greater.

Especially thinking that after Xu Yun became a graduate student, he still took the trouble to help explain in the face of his consultation, which is not possible for any other mathematics professor.

Therefore, hearing Xu Yun's inquiry, Zhao Yuefeng quickly replied with a sincere smile on the corner of his mouth.

"I also want to thank Brother Yun for helping me review, now I am very confident in my level."

"It should be able to get ashore without any problems."

"Fengzi really works hard enough, and I'm ashamed of myself." Zhou Qi added with a smile.

Xu Yun responded with a smile: "That's good." ”

After speaking, he turned his gaze to Qian Yudong.

Ask about the situation.

"What's the matter, Captain, what's going on?"

"Don't you know that you lost the Wolf Prize in Mathematics?" Qian Yudong immediately replied, his face looking very surprised.

In his opinion, mathematicians who hope to win the prize should stay in front of the computer at this time and grasp the list as soon as possible.

It's like Xu Yun has passed a day, and he still doesn't know.

This is too Buddhist.

"This matter, if you lose the election, you will lose the election." Xu Yunwen said in a flat tone.

The whole person didn't react much.

It's not even a gold medal, and he doesn't even look down on it.

Seeing Xu Yun's indifferent attitude, Qian Yudong and the others were impressed.

I thought to myself, is this the realm of the big guy?

But soon Qian Yudong thought of something again, and hurriedly said another thing.

"And you've been taunted by an old man."

"What?"

"Mock me?"

"Old man?"

Xu Yun was a little confused when he suddenly heard this, and some people on the Internet posted random comments and rumors with rhythm, why is there still an old man coming to find trouble for himself.

Is it jealous of his youth?

At this time, Qian Yudong obviously saw the question in Xu Yun's heart, and hurriedly opened his mobile phone to find a saved video.

"See for yourself."

Xu Yun took the phone with a suspicious face, and after clicking on the video, he found that it was transferred from the external network YouTube.

The content seems to be a TV station on the neon side.

He temporarily resisted his curiosity and continued to look down, and learned from the translated identity introduction subtitles that the woman was the host of the column, and the old man in Qian Yudong's mouth was Ohno Xiong, a professor at Dongjing University.

"Welcome Mr. Ohno, a professor at Tokei University, to our special program today."

……

"These two days are a grand event in the field of mathematics, and the list of this year's Wolf Prize in Mathematics has been announced, I wonder what you think of Professor Ohno, the winner of this award?"

As the video played, the hostess mentioned the list of Wolf Prizes for mathematics after going through the motions.

And invite guests to comment.

Originally, the video was quite normal, and the Ohno only needed to casually talk about the laureate's contribution to the mathematical community.

But the other party insisted on pulling the topic to Xu Yun, who was unsuccessful, and criticized the proof of Hodge's conjecture and the topological group theory.

He swore that it was all a matter of luck to prove the Hodge conjecture, and even threatened that topological group theory was a wrong path and could not be used to prove the conjecture of the number theory problem.
