Chapter 45 Fields Medal Winner Peter Schultz's Attention

Chapter 45 Fields Medal Winner Peter Schultz's Attention
Evans continued to read the paper, but if he didn't understand the first part, the latter part would naturally be more difficult to understand, so he gave up the idea of trying to understand the paper. After quickly confirming that there were no problems with the formatting and other aspects of the paper, he stood up and went to find Editor-in-Chief Bogeren to report the matter.

After knocking on the door of the editor-in-chief's office, Bogeron saw that it was Evans and said with a smile: "Evans, it seems that you have completed the task."

After saying that, Bergeron stood up, took out a 50-euro bill from his trouser pocket and handed it to Evans.

He also asked: "What do you write in your rejection email?"

Evans took the 50 euros calmly and replied: "I didn't write a rejection email."

Hearing this, Bogeron reached out to take the 50 euros back from Evans' pocket: "Then give me back the money."

Evans stepped aside, stared at Bergeron, and said, "And I'm ready to contact Peter Schultz or Jacob Stix to review this paper."

Bo Jielun was stunned for a moment, then he spread his hands and said helplessly: "Are you crazy? If they knew that we asked them to review a paper written by a high school student, they would probably laugh at us at the math conference!"

Seeing Bergeron like this, Evans was certain that he had not read the paper.

"My dear editor-in-chief, have you not read this paper before?"

Bergeron said, "Please, I'm currently reading Professor Tracy's paper and I don't have time to read papers like this. How good can a high school student's paper be, even if he's a genius? We're IHES! Let alone a high school student, even if an undergraduate student published a paper here, unless someone proves the Riemann hypothesis, this news will be the headlines in the mathematics world this year."

Evans laughed immediately. “In that case, it seems that Mr. Bergeron, your judgment was wrong.”

"This paper may really be published in our journal."

Bo Jielun's eyes widened: "Are you sure you are not kidding?"

How can this be?

It is considered very outstanding for a high school student to be able to write a complete paper. Now you tell me that the quality of this paper actually has a chance to be published in their journal?
The top journal in mathematics?

"Let me see."

Immediately, Bergeron went straight back to his computer and found the paper in the background.

He squinted and watched, until ten minutes later - he gave up.

Because he could hardly understand it at all. The knowledge involved in the paper was completely different from his research direction. Especially in the aspect of far Abelian geometry, he was completely clueless.

Although he could not understand the content of the paper, his many years of experience as an editor of mathematical journals enabled him to tell from the writing style of the paper that its author was very professional.

"you are right."

Bo Jielun exclaimed: "There really is such a mathematical genius in the world."

His old friend Hu Guangde did not lie to him.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Okay, then we'll send this paper to Professor Schultz and Professor Stix as you said. No matter what, whether it can be published in our journal still needs to be reviewed by experts - but are you sure they will be willing to accept this paper?"

Peter Schultz, a rising star in mathematics and winner of the 2018 Fields Medal.

Jacob Stix, an authority on far-Abelian geometry and an expert in arithmetic algebraic geometry.

Evans patted his chest and said: "They will definitely be willing to accept it."

"Okay, then let's ask Schultz if he's willing."

Bogeren nodded, then opened the various contact information of their journal and found Schultz. After the call was connected, he explained his reason.

"Oh? A paper on Abelian geometry?"

After listening to Bergeron's introduction to the paper, Schultz on the other end of the phone immediately became interested: "Since the author dared to submit the paper to IHES, and you asked me to review it, it seems that this paper should be very good."

"Well, it just so happens that I haven't seen any excellent papers published recently on far Abelian geometry. So please send it to me, Mr. Bergeron. I will try to give you a reply within two to three weeks."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Schultz. I will send it to you now."

Bergeron responded with a smile.

Without further ado, he hung up the phone and sent the paper directly to Schultz.

Bogeron said with emotion: "Well, I didn't expect Schultz to accept this paper directly."

Evans thought for a moment and guessed, "Maybe it's because of the paper in which Shinichi Mochizuki proved the abc conjecture?"

"Oh? You mean the Japanese guy?" Bergeron raised his eyebrows. "I remember Schultz and Stix jointly published an article in 2018, refuting his proof of ABC, but this guy disagrees."

"Yes." Evans nodded and said, "Before publishing his paper proving the ABC conjecture, Mochizuki Shinichi also wrote more than 700 pages of articles on far Abelian geometry. So I guess Schultz is interested in this paper because he wants to find definite evidence that can prove that Mochizuki Shinichi is wrong."

Bo Jielun was stunned and said hesitantly: "It shouldn't be possible... ? Mochizuki Shinichi's paper was published in 2012, and no one can say for sure that he is wrong. Now this paper was written by a high school student..."

Evans was silent for a moment, then said, "Maybe?"

"Hahaha, that should be impossible." Bo Jieren laughed.

It's impossible no matter how you think about it.

Otherwise their self-confidence will be shattered.

He immediately changed the subject: "But then again, that 50 euros... shouldn't you return it to me? And then you have to give me another 50 euros?"

Evans' face changed and he turned away: "What 50 euros? I don't know anything. I'm going to work."

Then he quickly left the office.

Bergeron shook his head with a smile, but he didn't care about the 50 euros, after all, he had originally intended to give it to Evans.

Now that this paper has entered the expert review stage, it can be regarded as a certain explanation to my old friend Hu Guangde.

Then he didn't think any more and continued with his work.

As for whether Xiao Yi's paper could really become the "final spear" to end Mochizuki Shinichi's paper, he quickly forgot about it.

Anyway, there is absolutely no such possibility.
