Chapter 195: The youngest Fields Medal winner

As the words of the director of the International Mathematical Union on the stage fell, the whole venue was silent for a few seconds, and then quickly burst into a deafening applause to congratulate Xu Yun on winning the Fields Medal.

Tang Yanshan, Yuan Chengming, and other domestic participants in the conference immediately had smiles on their faces when they learned of this result.

How many years.

Finally, a real Chinese won the Fields Medal.

And also broke the minimum age in one fell swoop.

After being excited, the corners of the eyes are moist, and tears of relief are shed.

"Did you hear Lao Yuan, Xu Yun has won the Fields Medal, this is the youngest Fields Medal winner in the history of mathematics."

"It's really worthy of being my Tang Yanshan's student."

"Rounding it off, I also touched the Fields Medal."

may have thought of Xu Yun's growth along the way, Tang Yanshan did not hide the joy on his face when he was happy, and did not forget to put gold on himself when he repeated the news to Yuan Chengming beside him.

Although he had no hope of winning Fields in his life at his age, he taught a Fields Medal student.

There are no regrets anymore.

"I hear you, our mathematical community is finally standing up internationally." Yuan Chengming also had a smile on his face at the moment.

All previous worries vanished in an instant.

Many people in the venue had a good impression of Xu Yun, especially those who participated in the Hodge conjecture proof report, and knew that Xu Yun's research in the field of algebraic geometry was at a real level, not purely by luck as the Internet said.

Therefore, they had no objection to Xu Yun winning the Fields Medal, and the thunderous applause lasted for a long time before gradually stopping.

However, Oho Ohno, a professor at Tojing University in a remote corner, had a face full of disbelief at the moment.

never expected Xu Yunzhen to win the Fields Medal.

"This can't be?"

"He must have been lucky at such a young age, and it must have proved Hodge's conjecture by mistake."

"I don't deserve a Fields Medal at all."

"There's shady."

Thinking quickly in my mind, especially thinking that the International Mathematical Union also deliberately gave Xu Yun the youngest Fields Medal winner and a mathematical genius to evaluate Xu Yun's contributions, and even more thought that there was an insider situation in this is not a fair selection at all.

Of course, he never had the courage to shout this sentence, let alone on such an occasion.

Although the whole person's expression seemed to be uncomfortable after eating a secret hamburger, he could only last until the end of the opening ceremony.

At this time, Tang Yanshan noticed that Xu Yun had not yet come to the stage, so he hurriedly reached over and reached out to touch him to remind him.

"What are you still doing here, hurry up."

"Okay."

Xu Yun didn't actually react much, thinking that this was a matter of course.

At this moment, seeing Tang Yanshan looking more anxious than him, he couldn't cry or laugh in his heart.

However, the list of the other three winners will be announced next, and it is really inappropriate to delay too much, so he nodded at Tang Yanshan and immediately walked towards the stage.

Four chairs were thoughtfully placed on the stage, and Xu Yun shook hands with the directors of the International League and said hello after going up.

"Congratulations, Mr. Xu Yun."

"Thank you."

Then he sat down on the head chair generously.

Next, with the announcement of the other three Fields Medal winners, the President of the International Mathematical Union will present the medals after all of them take the stage.

Xu Yun has been thinking about this gold medal since a very early age, but now that he finally gets it, he doesn't feel much about it.

I resisted the idea of wanting to bite it, and I planned to step down after giving a speech according to the process.

The announcement of the list of winners at the opening ceremony is worth looking forward to, and it will be boring for mathematicians later, and the highlight is tomorrow's academic report, after all, everyone came to the conference mainly for communication.

According to the tradition, the International Mathematical Union will invite dozens of scholars who have contributed to the development of mathematics to give presentations at the conference.

It also includes the winners of the awards.

And the whole conference will last for a very long time.

didn't wait for him to step off the stage, but he was suddenly stopped by the alliance director on the stage.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Xu Yun, because you proved the Hodge conjecture of the seven major mathematical problems in the millennial world, and now the Clay Institute of Mathematics is going to award you a set bonus."

Although the Fields Medal medal is made of pure gold, the prize money is not much for each person.

In comparison, it is certainly the million dollars offered by the Clay Math Institute that is more impressive.

Naturally, he would not refuse to receive money for this kind of thing.

"Okay."

Nodding in response, he stayed on the stage alone and waited for the prize money from the Clay Institute of Mathematics.

"Professor Griffith of the Clay Institute for Mathematics is now welcome to award a prize to the provers of Hodge's conjecture."

Hearing this, Xu Yun was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that it was an acquaintance who gave him the prize, and just as he was thinking about it, he saw Griffith's familiar face coming up to the stage and walking towards him.

Originally, he was in the audience just now, and he was still thinking about whether to go over and say hello to Griffith.

I didn't expect to meet on stage so soon.

The Clay Institute of Mathematics has proposed the world's seven major mathematical problems and set a prize of one million dollars for each problem, which has only been officially distributed twice until today, but Perelman, who is the proof of Poincaré's conjecture, openly refused to accept the prize.

Therefore, for this award, the Clay Institute of Mathematics can be said to attach great importance to it.

Griffith was well aware of his mission this time, and after taking the stage, he did not immediately talk to Xu Yun, but told the audience about the proposal of Hodge's conjecture and the final proof.

"After nearly two years of verification of the proof of the Hodge conjecture by the mathematical community, today I officially announce on behalf of the Clay Institute of Mathematics that the Hodge conjecture problem has been completely solved by Dr. Xu Yun."

"He will receive a million-dollar prize from the Clay Institute of Mathematics."

"I hope that more people in the academic community will launch an impact on other issues and promote the development of international mathematics."

As Griffith's words fell, he turned around yesterday to present the prize to Xu Yun under the gaze of all the scholars in the venue.

"Congratulations Xu Yun, I am looking forward to your future achievements."

"Thank you, Professor Griffith."

Xu Yun received the medal from Griffith and expressed his heartfelt gratitude.

Griffith did not linger on the stage, and returned the stage to Xu Yun to give a new speech.

Regarding the million-dollar prize of Hodge's conjecture Xu Yun had already planned, and he would not pause at this time, even if he raised the microphone and said one of his plans.

"The development of mathematics is inseparable from the cultivation of new forces, so I plan to set up a foundation with all the prize money to encourage young people who study mathematics to go further."

To him, these prizes are nothing, but the purpose of establishing a mathematics foundation is completely different.

According to his plan, he will also rely on the foundation to set up his own national mathematics prize.

And the annual selection and distribution of awards.

After all, there are very few people in China who are willing to devote themselves to theoretical mathematics research, and as a director of the Mathematical Society, since he wants to lead the domestic mathematical community to a completely international authoritative position, the efforts he should make are indispensable.

His decision was also recognized by many scholars in the audience, and finally he slowly stepped down amid warm applause.

……

"You have a heart, since you want to set up the Xu Yun Award, then the Mathematics Association will definitely support it unconditionally."

When Yuan Chengming saw Xu Yun coming down, he immediately opened his mouth to express his attitude as the chairman of the Mathematics Society.

However, these two sentences made Xu Yun a little confused.

"Xu Yun Award?"

"Of course, it's the Xu Yun Award, and the establishment of mathematics awards is named after mathematicians." Yuan Chengming smiled and explained in the face of Xu Yun's question: "You set up this award with your own prize money, and you have also made significant contributions to the entire mathematical community, so it is normal to name the award after yourself." ”

"If this award becomes a Fields Medal in the future, then you will be in a math textbook." Tang Yanshan next to him also echoed after hearing this.

Whether it is Yuan Chengming or Tang Yanshan, they all know that Xu Yun's deep technology can be called like the sky.

There is no shortage of bonuses.

So they support Xu Yun's decision.

Using his own name to name the award, Xu Yun really hadn't thought about it before.

But after listening to Tang Yanshan and Yuan Chengming, he was a little moved.

It's just that now that others are abroad, the foundation and the award have to go back and study it carefully, and there is no need to think too much about it now.

The thought stayed here, and he simply took the initiative to divert the topic.

"I'll think about it when I get back."

The rest of the time was followed by announcements of the other award winners, as the lack of the Fields Medal saw a noticeable drop in response.

Even the applause was about to halve.

Until the end of the opening ceremony, Xu Yun was soon surrounded by mathematicians from all over the world.

Congratulations to him.

The degree of enthusiasm was stunned, so that the surrounding reporters couldn't get close to Xu Yun.

I had to stand around and wait patiently.

However, there are many photographers who respond quickly and quickly shoot this scene for news reporting.

"I knew that with your talent and strength, you would definitely win the Fields Medal and become a great mathematician."

"Now you do."

"Congratulations."

In the crowd, Xu Yun saw Mingte, who was not much worse than himself, and smiled in the face of this extremely high evaluation.

"Thank you."

Especially thinking that the Goldbach conjecture that the other party has studied for many years has been successfully proved by him, I can't help but feel a little sympathy in my heart.

And after basically dealing with the scholars who came to congratulate, Xu Yun didn't see the Professor Ohno for a long time, and wanted to use the Fields medal to ironize the other party, but the other party disappeared.

"This little old man is running so fast."

muttered to himself, and then prepared to be interviewed by the press corps.

Tang Yanshan, who was standing next to him, noticed Xu Yun's expression, and responded with a smile: "You are looking for the professor at Dongjing University, he left the venue before the opening ceremony ended, probably because he was afraid of being embarrassed in front of mathematicians around the world." Apparently he also knows something about what happened online before.

Xu Yun could only say regret when he heard this, anyway, after this time, the other party's reputation in the world at least stinks.

The time soon came to noon, and as various reports and interviews were released by news media from various countries, the discussion about this year's Fields Medal winners on the whole network instantly increased.
