The top student must be diligent.

Chapter 40 Plagiarism Check
"Xiao Yi? How is that possible!?"

Academician Hu's face was full of disbelief.

How can a high school student write such a paper?
We started learning math in the womb, right?

He believed that he had seen all kinds of geniuses, and when he visited foreign countries, he often heard about various mathematical geniuses.

The most famous among them is Terence Tao. This genius, known as the "Mozart of Mathematics", won the gold medal in the IMO International Mathematical Olympiad when he was only 13 years old, completed his undergraduate degree at the age of 16, and completed his master's thesis at the age of 17 and obtained a master's degree.

It seems that Terence Tao is more powerful than Xiao Yi.

However, the paper that Xiao Yi is writing now could not have been written by Terence Tao back then.

For example, for professors in their college, it is already very good to be able to produce a paper in the second zone, and even more impressive if it is in the first zone. If they just walk around the school during that semester, they will probably receive all kinds of respectful greetings. If they switch to a top journal, they will be even more extraordinary and directly become the school's big shot. If professors from all over the school encounter mathematical problems in their projects, they may come to them for help. The school will probably also hold a meeting to specifically praise them. After all, such a paper plays an important role in improving the school's ranking.

And now, such a paper actually appeared in the writing of a high school student - well, he cannot be simply called a high school student, after all, he will enter university and become an undergraduate in less than a month.

Thinking of this, Hu Guangde suddenly felt that their school was extremely lucky.

This year must be the zodiac year for their college.
Such a genius actually came to their school by various coincidences.

It gives people a feeling of unreality.

Hu Guangde confirmed with Liu Bin again: "Are you sure you are not kidding? Did Xiao Yi really write it?"

"Of course it's true." Liu Bin said helplessly: "I would never lie to you. Today is not April Fools' Day. Besides, there is nothing to lie about this matter."

"That's why he didn't write in English, and the abstract and format looked unfamiliar. After all, it was really his first time writing a paper."

Hu Guangde fell silent.

Everything clicked.

So...he eliminated the correct answer from the beginning?

After thinking for a long time, he suddenly asked: "By the way, have you checked this paper for plagiarism?"

Liu Bin was stunned, then shook his head and said, "That's not the case, but... this paper should have been completed by Xiao Yi, so it can't be plagiarized, right?"

Because of his trust in Xiao Yi, and the affection brought about by so many exchanges, from an emotional point of view, he had never considered this issue.

However, Hu Guangde had only met Xiao Yi once through a mobile phone video, and they didn't have any deep feelings for each other, so he remained rational at this time.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that he suspects that the paper is academic fraud, but he just wants to make a final confirmation in this way.

"Let's check for plagiarism first, which will also provide a guarantee for this paper."

Hu Guangde said: "When you are sure you want to publish, you can submit it directly to IHES. When I went to France as a visiting scholar, I met IHES Editor-in-Chief Bergeron. I will ask Editor-in-Chief Bergeron for help and jump the queue."

Liu Bin nodded and said no more.

Then comes the check for plagiarism.

Liu Bin sent the electronic version of Xiao Yi's paper to Hu Guangde's computer, and then went to the plagiarism checking website to start checking for plagiarism.

The so-called plagiarism check is the last step that any paper must go through in the process of completing it, in order to determine whether the paper is suspected of plagiarism.

It takes some time to check for plagiarism, so the two people began to wait.

At this time, even Liu Bin was very curious about the plagiarism rate of Xiao Yi's paper.

After a while, the results came out. I opened the duplicate check report and it showed that the duplication rate was [3.14%].

Liu Bin let out a long sigh and then smiled.

3.14% repetition rate, absolutely qualified!

In line with the principle of no doubt.

After all, even the most stringent doctoral dissertations only require a duplication rate of less than 10%.

This 3.14% duplication rate can fully prove that Xiao Yi's paper was written independently.

Liu Bin laughed: "I told you, Xiao Yi's mind is full of how to solve math problems, it's impossible for him to do this kind of thing."

Hu Guangde also breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, okay, I know."

He looked at the time and said, "It's getting late now. You should go back and have some rest. I will give you a reply after I finish reading this paper."

"Okay, then I'll trouble Academician Hu."

Liu Bin nodded, and then left Hu Guangde's office without staying any longer.

Hu Guangde looked back at the plagiarism report displayed on the computer and smiled slightly.

Perhaps, this student will bring real revitalization to their School of Mathematical Sciences at HKUST!

……

Three days passed quickly.

At noon on the fourth day, Liu Bin was called to Hu Guangde's office.

Guessing the reason why Academician Hu came to see him, Liu Bin looked at him expectantly after entering the office and asked, "Academician Hu, have you finished reading Xiao Yi's paper?"

Hu Guangde smiled and nodded: "Yes, I have finished reading it in the past few days."

"How to say?"

Hu Guangde thought for a moment, and finally, he gave his evaluation: "From my point of view, although his paper still shows the immaturity of a beginner in some details, it is a perfect mathematical paper as a whole."

Yes, mathematically speaking, this paper is perfect.

There were no obvious or easy steps to skip, and all the necessary processes were written out in full. Perhaps this was because it was Xiao Yi's first time writing a paper, and he brought his habit of doing proof questions in high school into the paper.

It is precisely because of this that all the conclusions drawn are rigorous enough, and there are no possible loopholes or defects that can be questioned - at least Hu Guangde did not find any in these three days.

"If I were an editor or reviewer, I would be very happy to review such a paper. Moreover, this paper is of high value and can even be called the best paper in the field of far Abelian geometry in recent times."

Liu Bin finally smiled, "Okay! I believe Xiao Yi will be very happy to hear your evaluation."

"I'll notify him now!"

As he said this, Liu Bin was about to take out his cell phone.

"Yes." Hu Guangde nodded with a smile, and said, "Also, remind him to translate this paper into English and prepare to submit it to IHES!"
