The top student must be diligent.

Chapter 108 Award Influence
Cole Prize in Algebra.

It is an award established by the American Mathematical Society (AMS) and is mainly given to mathematicians who have made significant achievements in algebra.

Of course, this award is not completely international, which means that its winners are subject to certain restrictions in terms of identity. They must either be members of the American Mathematical Society or authors who have published outstanding articles in American journals.

However, the American Mathematical Society is a relatively international mathematics research group. It is also very large in scale, basically second only to the International Mathematical Union. There are also quite a number of mathematicians from all over the world in this association.

In addition, the very famous paper typesetting tool AMS-LaTeX, which was developed by the American Mathematical Society, has facilitated every science scholar in the world.

There is also the Journal of the American Mathematical Society, one of the four top journals in the mathematics world, which is also a journal under the name of this society.

However, for Xiao Yi at this moment, when he heard so many people in front of him telling him that he had won the Cole Algebra Prize, he was still a little unable to react.

How did this happen so suddenly?

Professor Sanak was now standing in front of him and congratulating him.

Xiao Yi immediately asked: "Professor Sanak, when did this happen? I didn't know about it before."

Sanak laughed and said, "Just now, the AMS official website announced this. This year's Cole Algebra Award winner is you!"

Then he pulled a person next to him in front of Xiao Yi and said, "This is the current vice president of AMS, Professor Jesus Loera."

"He can testify to that to you."

Professor Loera smiled and said to Xiao Yi: "Yes, Xiao, I can testify to this. In fact, I just received a call from our chairman, informing me of the result."

"Generally speaking, we will announce the winner of the Cole Prize some time in advance. Last year, you successfully used the Etale algebraic variety automorphism theory to complete the proof of the Elliott-Halberstam conjecture, and passed the review committee organized by the Annals of Mathematics. We have decided to give this award to you."

"However, after that we learned that you had published the proof of the twin prime conjecture, so after some discussion, we decided to see if you could bring us more surprises, so we have not announced it yet."

"And the good news is that today, this surprise has indeed been delivered to us."

"On behalf of AMS, I would also like to congratulate you on making such a significant breakthrough for our mathematics community."

Then, Loela raised the red wine glass in her hand and gestured to Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi was still surprised by the sudden news and subconsciously raised the milk in his hand.

When he came to his senses, Louella had already clinked glasses with him with a smile, and didn't care whether he drank wine or milk.

"cheers!"

Everyone who had gathered around raised their glasses and shouted together: "Cheers!"

Then they all drank it together.

Xiao Yi came to his senses. What else could he say in the face of such a situation?
Naturally, they could only drink it together.

Then, one by one, people came forward and said to him, "Congratulations."

By the end, almost everyone had left, leaving only the three people including Terence Tao who had just come to see him, Professor Sanak, and Professor Loera.

"This..." Xiao Yi finally asked: "But doesn't the Cole Award have requirements for the identity of the winner?"

Professor Loera smiled and said, “Even if you are not a member of our AMS, it is enough if you can publish a paper in an American journal.”

“Those two papers you submitted to the Annals of Mathematics.”

Sanak also nodded: "Moreover, your two papers have been officially published, and our first volume of this year has also been printed. Your copy has been sent to China."

"Well...I should have picked up one for you when I came over here."

Sanak patted his head and said, "How about you come with me to the office later to get a copy?"

"And by the way..." The Wolf Prize winner in mathematics chuckled, "Shall we discuss submitting your paper to our Annals of Mathematics?"

Professor Loera, who was standing next to him, immediately pushed Sanak aside and said, "Xiao Yi has already submitted two papers to you before. Why don't you consider our Journal of the American Mathematical Society this time? I am also the editor-in-chief of our journal. As long as you submit to us, I can arrange for it to be published immediately! How about it?"

"Professor Loera, I was the one who recommended you to Xiao Yi. Why are you competing with me for it? People should be reasonable!" Sanak immediately expressed indignantly.

"Well, if it was any other paper, I certainly wouldn't compete with you for it, but this is the proof of the twin prime conjecture."

Louella expressed her apology, but did not change her attitude at all because of Sanak's anger.

"I misjudged you!" Sanak was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.

However, while the two of them were arguing, an old professor suddenly walked up to Xiao Yi and said to him, "Xiao Yi, would you like to consider our Acta Mathematica? I am Edgar Barton, the editor-in-chief of Acta Mathematica. As long as you submit your manuscript to us, we don't charge any publication fees."

"Barton, what do you want to do, old man?"

However, before Xiao Yi could say anything, the old professor was seen by Sanak and Loera, who immediately pulled Patton away again.

What followed was a scuffle between the three editors-in-chief from the three top journals in mathematics.

All we need is an editor-in-chief for "New Advances in Mathematics", and then we will have the four top journals.

"Tsk, is this the power of the twin prime conjecture? I've learned a lot."

Looking at this scene, Tao Zhexuan couldn't help but sigh. Xiao Yi was embarrassed and even wanted to shout, "Stop fighting."

"Okay, why don't we take this opportunity to continue our conversation?"

Zhang Yitang next to him suggested at this time.

"I agree." Maynard nodded. As for the battle between the editors...

They can't do anything about it anyway.

So a few people made a decision immediately, then found a seat nearby and began to discuss matters regarding future cooperation.

……

Just when Xiao Yi and Terence Tao were discussing cooperation, the news that he had won the Cole Algebra Prize quickly spread, immediately causing quite a stir in the entire mathematics community.

Of course, this is also true outside the field of mathematics.

After all, at this time, the proof of the twin prime conjecture is the biggest news, and it is being hotly discussed all over the world.

Now that such a piece of news has been revealed, it naturally makes all major media outlets excited and they have begun to publish related news.

For example, on China's Weibo, originally only the first three hot searches were news related to Xiao Yi's proof of the twin prime conjecture, but now, the fourth hot search has become #Xiao Yi wins Cole Algebra Prize#, and its popularity is still rising. It will probably soon squeeze out #A Perfect Report#, which was originally in third place.

When I clicked on it, I saw that the news was still released by CCTV.

[The American Mathematical Society has just announced the winner of this year's Cole Algebra Prize. The winner is Xiao Yi. The reason for his award is: in recognition of his important achievement in building a connection between far Abelian geometry and number theory, the self-morphism theory of etale algebraic varieties, and his use of this method to prove the Elliott-Halberstam conjecture.

The Cole Algebra Award represents the outstanding achievements made by the winners in the field of algebra in the past six years.

Netizens who saw this news were immediately shocked.

Isn't this a little too sudden?
Less than an hour ago, they announced that they had proved the twin prime conjecture, but how long has it been since they announced that they had won the prize? ?

Don't be so exaggerated!
【ah? ah? ah? 】

[I really like what netizens said: Huh? ]

[Fuck! There is some important news? Is it that awesome?]

[Oh my god, this is the Cole Algebra Prize. Although it is not the most prestigious award, the people who can win this award must have made top-notch achievements in algebra. The previous winners were all big names, such as Peter Schultz who also won this award! ]

[Just kidding, the previous winners were all big shots, as if the current winner, our Xiao Shen, is not a big shot. ]

[Maybe the winner now should be a big shot? With Xiao Shen solving the twin prime conjecture at such a young age, who can guess what will happen in 10 years? ]

[I bet that in ten years, Xiao Shen will be able to prove the Riemann hypothesis! ]

[Why is it the Cole Prize in Algebra, not the Cole Prize in Number Theory? I remember there is also a prize in number theory for the Cole Prize, right? ]

[Because the Cole Prize, whether it is the number theory prize or the algebra prize, is awarded every three years. Last year, the number theory prize was awarded to James Maynard. This year, it is the Cole Algebra Prize. Anyway, Xiao's achievement also happened to win the algebra prize. Etale's algebraic variety self-conservation is absolutely a god among gods in the field of algebra.]

[Brother, I am not a math student, I don’t know anything about algebra, how great is he? ]

[Well, if you are not studying mathematics, then you must know the magazine Science, right? At the end of last year, Science announced the top ten important scientific achievements in 2020, and Xiao Shen's Etale algebraic variety automorphism and Elliott-Halberstam conjecture were among them, ranking 9th. ]

[Fuck, was Xiao Shen's achievement really selected as one of the top ten important achievements last year? I saw this said online, and it actually came true! ]

[What else? There's still a share this year! If the proof of the twin prime conjecture doesn't rank in the top 3 this year, I'll eat a ton of it. ]

[Who knows if Xiao Shen will solve some heavyweight problems this year and squeeze out his twin prime conjecture? ]

[This... is not impossible. ]

……

On the Internet, netizens expressed their shock.

In reality, those units or institutions related to Xiao Yi naturally also rushed to celebrate.

For example, after learning that Xiao Yi's lecture was a success, the University of Science and Technology of China immediately hung red banners at the school gate and various places on campus, which read: [Congratulations to our 2020 freshman Xiao Yi for successfully proving the world-class mathematical problem of twin prime conjecture. ]

As for these red banners, they had naturally prepared them long ago. When Xiao Yi just left school, USTC had already started looking for people to make these red banners, and now they are finally put to use.

And now the sudden Cole Algebra Prize caught them off guard again, so they quickly contacted people to rush to make a batch of [Congratulations to our school's 2020 freshman Xiao Yi for winning the international mathematics award Cole Algebra Prize].

Then these red banners were hung together with the red banners of the twin prime conjecture, as if they were going to blind the eyes of all the students in the school.

This is their God Xiao!
As students from the same school as Xiao Yi, they all felt that they were compatible with him.

But... every time they heard the teacher asking them to learn from Xiao Yi, they cursed in their hearts: How the hell can they learn this?
