From small town scholar to chief scientist

Chapter 123 Big Melon and Zhouyi Play (Subscribe)
The Fields Medal winner apparently did not realize the seriousness of the matter.

Just when I was about to continue complaining,
Interrupted directly by Chairman Carlos Koenig, said:
"Okay, our meeting is math, not anything else, and if you don't have anything else to say, maybe we can move on to the next project."

Wiazovska's face changed, but everyone present did not have a good face at all. Politics should not be brought into the academic hall, otherwise, the International Congress of Mathematicians will change its flavor.

Viazovska's throat surged, and he wanted to say something, but in the end he just sighed and said:
"Chairman, let's move on to the next activity."

Helpless, deeply helpless.

Seeing this, Zhou Yi can deeply understand the powerlessness of the ancestors a hundred years ago.

Next, the videos and tributes of all Fields Medal winners were played,
The musical entertainment segment was subsequently cancelled.
Because we should leave ample time for the discussion of Kepler's conjecture.

The meeting time was advanced from 10.10 am to 8.10 am, a full two hours earlier.

Immediately afterwards, IMU President Carlos Koenig said,

"Next, the Abacus Award of the International Mathematical Union is awarded to Mark Braverman, an Israeli mathematician at Princeton University, in recognition of his pioneering research on the development of information complexity theory, which builds a framework for using information theory to reason about communication protocols.

His work led to direct sum theorems providing lower bounds for amortized communication, clever protocol compression methods, and new noise-resistant interactive communication protocols. "

After a while, the big guy came to the stage to accept the award and gave a speech.

At this time, Shan Peng whispered to Zhou Yi:
"The IMU Abacus Medal is a continuation of the Rolf Nevanlinna Award, awarded from 1982 to 2018, for outstanding contributions to the mathematics of information science."

Zhou Yi nodded, expressing his understanding.

Among the fifteen people who came together, Shan Peng may be the closest to Zhou Yi.

I saw that after the award-winning bigwig finished his eulogy, the Chern Award began to be presented.

The Chern Award is the only award in the world named after a Chinese.

He is also Qiu Chengtong's master and Zhou Yi's master.

Shan Peng on the side said again:
"In fact, Mr. Qiu and Mr. Chen are not very friendly. When Mr. Qiu held the ICCM International Chinese Mathematicians Conference, Mr. Chen did not attend. At that time, they did not agree on some things, so..."

How did Zhou Yi know that there is still such a secret.

If I know, will it be blocked?

But Shan Peng knew it all, presumably it should be some undisclosed secret.

I saw Carlos Koenig, the chairman of the IMU on the stage, solemnly announced:
"The recipient of the 29th Chern Award is Barry Mazur from Magnesium,
In recognition of his profound discoveries in the fields of topology, arithmetic geometry, and number theory, as well as his guidance and selfless dedication in preparing a new generation of mathematicians.

Congratulations to Barry Mazur. "

After a while, an old man began to go up to receive the award, and played his video and eulogy.

Shan Peng continued at this time:
"Actually, I don't dare to say more about the things here. It's just that Mr. Chen's family is relatively rich, while Mr. Qiu's early education was relatively poor. It was Mr. Qiu's father who taught people Taijiquan in the country of Magnesium to earn tuition fees. ;

Academician Tian Zhen, who defected from the teacher's school, is, in today's terms, the second generation of a scholar. His parents are university professors, his mother is a professor of mathematics at Jinling University, and his father is an expert in agriculture. "

Zhou Yi looked shocked, he was more curious than who the next Gauss Award winner would be.

Not only Zhou Yi was curious, but Liu Gang on the side also didn't listen to the speech on the stage, and started eating melons with relish.

Shan Peng continued:

"Later, in the dispute between Academician Tian Zhen and Donaldson over the priority of the "Qiu-Tian-Donaldson Conjecture" proof, one person was involved.

He is Chen Xiuxiong.Mr. Qiu said: Tian Zhen has always claimed that he proved the conjecture but did not write a paper. The final complete proof was given by Chen Xiuxiong, Donaldson and Sun Song.

Therefore, Chen Xiuxiong turned against academician Tian Zhen—and Chen Xiuxiong happened to be Tian Zhen's postdoctoral fellow. "

Ding Jian on the side added:
"Actually, Chen Xiuxiong can be regarded as Mr. Qiu's grandson. Chen Xiuxiong also came from a small town and has no background, but his apprentice has a strong background. That young man published an article in New Advances in Mathematics and solved two important conjectures. His family is also considered rich."

Zhou Yi and Liu Gang were shocked. It turns out that they are from the same school, and there are so many melons, and they didn't know until now.

Sure enough, in academia, Vanity Fair, for the sake of fame and profit, it is not surprising that master and apprentice turn against each other.

"It is said that Mr. Qiu's most outstanding apprentice is Tian Zhen. In fact, Mr. Qiu said that there are two other students with higher achievements than him, but they just don't like to reveal their identities."

Shan Peng continued.

The Shiing-shen Chern Award was presented today, and Zhou Yi and Liu Gang ate a lot of melons.

"Shan Guliang is right, but I think Mr. Qiu's most outstanding apprentice in the future will be God Zhou, not one of them."

Ding Jian boasted directly.

Zhou Yi: . .

"Don't call me God Zhou, I'm under a lot of pressure."

Zhou Yi protested in a low voice.

"God Zhou, don't be modest, it will be your home court in the afternoon. After the Gauss Award and the Rivalati Award are announced, it will be you who announce to the world that the era of mathematics is coming."

Liu Gang also agreed with Ding Jian's words, ignoring Zhou Yi's resistance, and said directly.

The beautiful Shan Peng said again:

"The Chen Medal is jointly awarded by IMU and the Chen Medal Foundation (CMF). CMF sponsors the Chen Medal Award. Medal winners will receive 50 mg in gold,
Medal winners can nominate one or more organizations for a total of 25 MG to support research, education or other outreach programs in the field of mathematics. "

After speaking, he glanced at Zhou Yi,
The meaning is self-evident.

When Zhou Yi heard 25 magnesium gold, he instantly understood that this special price was more than 150 million.

Zhou Yi took a deep breath and said:
"Actually, I think everyone has misunderstood the Chen Award. The Fields Medal is only worth 1500 mg. I prefer the Chen Award."

As for the funds of 25 magnesium gold, it had to be his own.

Zhou Yi squeezed his fist, showing a look of longing.

Seeing Zhou Yi like this, Shan Peng knew that his goal had been achieved, so he stopped talking.

At this time, the Chern Award winner Barry Mazur on the stage ended his speech.

For the Chern Award winner Barry Mazur, Zhou Yi and the others did not pay much attention.

Just because Shan Peng's melon is so delicious.

By now, it's noon,

Carlos Koenig announced that everyone had a meal, and then took a lunch break before continuing with the Gauss Awards and Rivalati Awards in the afternoon.

When Zhou Yi and others were having dinner together,
The Ukrainian Fields Medal winner ran in front of Zhou Yi and said:
"Hey, Mr. Zhou?"

Zhou Yi was a little surprised, looked at the aunt, and said:
"it's me."

"I read your thesis, but I have some questions. I will ask you in the afternoon. If you can't answer, it means that I didn't get the medal by luck."

Viazovska said seriously, apparently she had read Zhou Yi's paper seriously and had a very high opinion,
Otherwise there would be no doubts.

Generally, after reading this kind of paper, there are only two results without any doubts, one is that you understand it, and the other is that you don't understand it at all.

Zhou Yi said:

"Then you can ask in the afternoon."

baffling.

These math students are more or less weird.

Zhou Yi complained in his heart that only himself is normal.

I saw this aunt said:

"Not only will we ask questions in the afternoon, but even Professor Deligne and Professor Milnor will raise questions online."

This news is tantamount to a heavy weight, making Zhou Yi and his party look a little ugly.

The achievements of these two are greater than that of old Mr. Qiu.

"Oh, I'm not afraid to ask whatever you want, we'll wait and see!"

Zhou Yi swallowed a piece of pastry and said vaguely.

"you!"

Seeing Zhou Yi's eating, Viazovska was a little annoyed, can you stop being so rude, communicate with others, can you stop eating first.

This is just an episode, the conference starts on time at 2.15pm.

Shan Peng, who was sitting next to Zhou Yi, continued to say to Zhou Yi:

"The Gauss Prize, full name the Carl Friedrich Gauss Prize, recognizes scientists whose mathematical research has had an impact beyond mathematics—whether in technology, business or simply in people's everyday lives.

The Gauss Award is jointly awarded by the DMV (German Mathematical Union) and the International Mathematical Union, and is managed by the DMV.Prizes include medals and monetary awards.The source of the award is the surplus of the International Congress of Mathematicians held in Berlin.

With the Gauss Prize, IMU has expanded the scope of its awards to now include the impact of mathematics on other disciplines. "

Zhou Yi sighed, Shan Peng is really an all-round encyclopedia.

The winner of the Gauss Award this time is Albert Lieb, a Magnesium mathematician at Princeton University, in recognition of his extraordinary breadth and depth of mathematical contributions to the fields of quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, computational chemistry, and quantum information theory.

As time went on, the award ceremony finally came to the last item,
Riva Ratti Award.

IMU President Carlos Koenig said loudly on the stage:

"The 29th International Mathematical Union Riwalat Prize was awarded to the Russian mathematician Nikolai Andreyev of the Steklov Institute of Mathematics of the Russian Academy of Sciences,

In recognition of his contributions to the art of mathematical animation and mathematical model building, in a style that inspires both young and old, and mathematicians around the world for their various uses - and for his tireless efforts to popularize Educating the public about real mathematics through videos, lectures and award-winning books. "

The significance of this award is also very important to the mathematics community.

In the Great Xia Kingdom, many people also thought that it was useless to worry about the future after being selected into Qiu's junior math class.

As long as you are selected, you will be a doctor of mathematics in the future.

Then began the eulogy and video of the winner,
Finally, all five medals were awarded.

At this time, IMU Chairman Carlos Koenig said loudly and solemnly on the podium:

"In our mathematics world, there is a conjecture that has been pending for 400 years. During this period, many famous mathematicians have created discrete geometry, number geometry, and other branches in order to study this conjecture;

The articles born from the study of its proofs have laid the foundation for some fields of informatics today.

So it is not an exaggeration to say that our subject of mathematics is the father of computers. "

Many people laughed.

Carlos Koenig also said:
"OK, just kidding everyone, now this Kepler conjecture is very likely to be proved today!"

"Hilbert's question, which has spanned more than a century, may be able to give an answer today. Let's give a round of applause to Zhou Yi, a genius mathematics boy from the Great Xia Kingdom,
After Zhouyi finished explaining his ideas, mathematicians in this field can raise doubts at will. Our goal is to thoroughly prove this conjecture that has spanned several centuries today! "

PS: It's not that I hate this Miss Fields Award, it's true, she really said so at the beginning.

Also, if this chapter is blocked, I won’t change it tomorrow, just read what you can see, and don’t ask if you can’t.

Also ask for a monthly pass, this word is free, ask for a full subscription!
