The top student must be diligent.

Chapter 105: The crowd is excited
“What a perfect presentation!”

"It's really wonderful. He is not only a logical mathematician, but also a natural speaker!"

"bravo!"

Surprise, praise...

Various kinds of praise were spread among the audience.

The mathematicians sitting in the front row also gave high praise to the report.
From any perspective, listening to Xiao Yi's report gave them a much better feeling than listening to other reports.

First of all, in Xiao Yi's report, no matter how complicated the argumentation process was, he could always explain it clearly and thoroughly, and his speaking speed was slow, and there were almost no major changes throughout the entire report.

For older mathematicians, such a report is too "age-friendly". Like some other reports they have listened to, the speaker may speak a little faster, and if they don't react in time, they will not be able to keep up.

This is probably why they didn't ask any questions in the end.

Secondly, in Xiao Yi's report, in addition to the important theory of parity check classification screening that he finally completed, he was always able to demonstrate some "techniques" that made their eyes shine during the argumentation process.

What is technology in mathematics?
Simply put, it is to combine and utilize various mathematical techniques to solve small problems in a certain process in a more clever, or in a simpler and clearer way.

It is probably similar to doing math problems, but it is different from the math problems in exam-oriented education. The math problems in exam-oriented education have basically formed routines, and the problems can be solved by following these routines. However, for the twin prime conjecture, which is the most cutting-edge problem in mathematics, the math problems that need to be faced basically do not have any routines at all.

Mathematicians can only try to solve the problem based on the knowledge and methods they have mastered.

To a certain extent, the various new achievements, or theories, produced by mathematicians are completed in the process of verifying feasibility while constantly solving math problems - of course, if they encounter math problems that they cannot solve, then they will naturally fail.

At Xiao Yi's lecture, he continuously demonstrated some eye-opening and brilliant mathematical techniques, and easily solved the mathematical problems encountered in the process.

Each of these technologies, or the ideas they embody, can inspire almost every mathematician present.

Just like when Xiao Yi published his first paper on IHES, Schultz, as the reviewer, directly gave the following evaluation: "Very amazing mathematical ideas and analytical methods."

And now, Xiao Yi has been able to reach a new extreme in this regard!
Mathematicians from Princeton University stood together and kept applauding Xiao Yi on the stage.

"Hey, I think Xiao Yi is the only one who can get the best reporter award this year, right?" Deligne said to Sanak beside him with a smile.

At their annual academic conference, they select a number of awards every year. Of course, the most eye-catching one is the Best Speaker Award, which comes with a certificate and a prize of $10,000.

As the chairman of the organizing committee of this year's conference, Sanak naturally has the greatest power to decide the award. Although it ultimately needs to be determined by voting, his opinion is obviously very important.

Of course, for Xiao Yi's report, it probably doesn't matter whether you vote or not.

Peter Sanak shrugged and said, "Do I need to tell you that? This is the twin prime conjecture! If Xiao Yi is not the final best speaker, I guess you will see the headline "Inside Story of the Princeton Mathematics Annual Conference Organizing Committee Award" on the news headlines tomorrow."

"Hahaha!" They burst into laughter.

Bombieri corrected him: "It shouldn't happen tomorrow. There are still a few days before this meeting ends."

"That's true." Sanak laughed.

……

"The twin prime conjecture will become the twin prime theorem from now on..."

Faltings sighed.

Schultz beside him nodded: "Yes, after so much time, I feel that his mathematical thinking has reached a new level, and the techniques he demonstrated in the process... If he had gone to IMO with me that year, I would not be surprised if he won the special award."

"It's just a little strange...Why didn't he participate in IMO in high school?"

Faltings rolled his eyes and said, "Do you think everyone would repeat a grade just to participate in the IMO like you did?"

"IMO is very important for young people, but it is not important at all for the entire mathematics community. Every year, 100 to gold medals, nearly gold medals, are produced, not to mention bronze medals."

Schultz smiled awkwardly. Faltings had criticized him for wasting too much time for repeating a grade specifically to attend the IMO.

In this case, he could only say: "I was a young man too! You also said that it is very important to young people..."

"Still trying to quibble?" Faltings glared at him.

"Ahem..." Schultz suddenly wondered why he should be afraid of Faltings?

He said, "Professor, you don't want the advice you gave Xiao Yi to actually be... known to him, right?"

Falting was so angry that he pointed at the young man.

What a misfortune is a hatred of the ages!
……

The mathematicians sitting in the front were applauding because they understood the report, while the enthusiasts or students sitting in the back, although also applauding, only knew the results but not the reasons.

Of course, for them, knowing the truth is enough!

After all, they had understood the last sentence.

The twin prime conjecture has been proven!
Moreover, the mathematical masters sitting in the front row did not question this result.

“This is so cool!”

The student from the Department of Mathematics at Rutgers University who had asked questions in Ivanets' class was now sitting below with several of his classmates, his face filled with excitement.

"Although I didn't understand anything in the entire report, I declare that Xiao is now my God!" "Me too!"

"Look! Professor Ivanets' eyes are red with excitement!"

One of the students kept zooming in with his mobile phone and finally took a picture of Professor Ivanets who was sitting in front.

When the other students saw this, they all said, "The person next to Professor Ivanets seems to be Professor Goldstone! Professor Goldstone even seemed to be crying!"

"I really don't know why Professor Goldstone is crying."

They were a little confused.

Of course, they really can't understand how a mathematician feels when he sees that the problem he has been pursuing all his life is finally solved.

Perhaps, many years later, when they have put in countless efforts in mathematics, they will understand it.

……

"Brothers! The report meeting is basically over. Now we can confirm that Xiao Shen's proof is correct. From now on, the twin prime conjecture has become a theorem!"

"You are worthy of being called God Xiao, you are so fucking awesome!"

"You don't know how handsome and confident Xiao Shen was when he spoke at the end. I was so shocked! If I wasn't a man, I would have fallen in love with Xiao Shen!"
In a row of seats, a Chinese audience member was holding a mobile phone and live streaming the scene in front of him.

This person is the blogger [Mathematical and Physical Events] on Weibo, whose real name is Guo Xiaoming. After seeing the report meeting was over, he stopped the text live broadcast on Weibo and directly started the video live broadcast.

A large number of Weibo users who had been following his live text broadcast had already flooded into the live broadcast room and started to post comments one after another.

[Fuck, this is really catching up with the live broadcast, let me see Xiao Shen! Quick, quick, quick! ]

[Is it true? How handsome is he? No picture, no truth! ]

[Wow, the first row of seats seems to be full of big shots! I can vaguely recognize several big shots! Is that Professor Deligne? ]

[I saw Terence Tao too! He’s my idol! ]

……

Seeing these comments, Guo Xiaoming rolled his eyes and said, "I'm not saying anything bad about these guys, but why are you paying attention to those big guys? This conference is not short of big guys. If you want to see something, just look at Xiao Shen on the stage!"

He then zoomed in the camera and captured the entire person on the stage, Xiao Yi.

"Look, this is my idol! Isn't he handsome?!"

【So handsome! 】*n.

The barrage of comments started to fill up immediately.

[I have never seen these big guys express their feelings before. Xiao Shen is also my idol. 】

[Send photos, send photos! How high can the resolution of your b video be, gkd! ]

Guo Xiaoming said: "Don't worry, I will post it on Weibo after I finish the live broadcast. I will only live broadcast for a while. I will probably go to the dinner prepared by Princeton University soon. I will post it to you while I eat."

After hearing what Guo Xiaoming said, netizens in the barrage immediately started cursing.

[You really deserve to die! ]

【You are a dog! 】

[Damn it, don't let me catch you in the country, or you'll be in trouble! ]

[I think you have never seen a black hand! ]

Guo Xiaoming chuckled and then said, "Also, I'd like to take this opportunity to interview my good brother and give you a brief introduction."

Then his camera turned and showed the person sitting next to him, who was also a Chinese.

"Wen Chenghua is a doctoral student at Princeton University and has been studying for 5 years..."

Before he could finish, Wen Chenghua corrected him, "Don't mention the fact that I studied for five years. I'm about to graduate, and my graduation defense will be in half a month, so I'm already a PhD candidate who's about to graduate."

He is the Chinese student of Fields Medal winner Okunkov. He solved the most difficult problem in his graduation thesis with the help of Xiao Yi's Etale algebraic variety automorphism theory. Now he has finally completed the thesis and is not far from graduation.
"Okay, okay." Wen Chenghua didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and then said, "Then let me introduce this person again. He is a doctoral student who has been studying at Princeton University for five years and is about to graduate. He is a disciple of a Fields Medal winner..."

"You fucking idiot..." Wen Chenghua's face darkened.

The live broadcast room's barrage of comments immediately began to fill with "hahahaha", and of course there were also people who marveled that Wen Chenghua was actually a student of the Fields Medal winner.

"...In short, I was able to get the ticket to this seminar thanks to my brother Wen."

"Okay, Brother Wen, let me interview you first. As a mathematician whose doctoral dissertation was published in a top mathematics journal..."

"I'm not a mathematician now, I can only be said to be a mathematical scholar." Wen Chenghua waved his hand to correct.

"Okay, okay, then as a professional mathematician, what do you think of today's lecture?"

Wen Chenghua thought for a moment, then said, "To be honest, I don't understand this report."
