The top student must be diligent.

Chapter 58 Max Planck Institute for Mathematics
After this new blog post [Major Mathematical Events] became a hot search, its popularity continued to rise rapidly.

It didn't take long for it to make it into the top ten of the trending searches with tens of thousands of likes, reposts and comments. Almost all netizens who entered the Weibo trending searches tonight were attracted by this trending search.

Below, the most popular comment is [I won’t say any more. I am a PhD student who is ranked in the top ten in the world in QS mathematics. I feel very complicated now. ]

In the replies below this comment, there were also various responses from graduate students from the world's top mathematics schools, with various kinds of [stay with me].

There are those from Princeton, UC Berkeley, Cambridge, and so on.

No matter which prestigious school the students come from, when faced with the achievement of a 17-year-old minor writing such a paper, they can only sigh deeply in their hearts. The gap between people may sometimes be even bigger than that between dogs.

Fortunately, most people who study mathematics will become indifferent in the end, so even though they feel a deep blow, it’s not a big problem.

After all, people who are able to enter top universities to study mathematics, even if they may feel pretentious at first, will naturally become more indifferent when they encounter more and more problems that they cannot understand during the research process.

Therefore, it did not result in these math geeks [being afraid to study math from then on].

In addition to the math geniuses, most of these comments are from netizens who just come to join in the fun. Even if they don’t understand what "Non-Singularity Analysis and Absolutely Far-Abel Conjecture" means, or what IHES is, but just the fact that it is a "top international mathematics journal" is enough to make them scream.

[What? You can publish papers in international journals at the age of 17? I had a hard time writing my graduation thesis back then.]

[He can publish in top international journals, so his English must be very good, right? ]

[People say it was published in a top international journal, but you ask them if their English is good? ]

[Damn, he is actually the top scorer in the country this year! I was just playing around for three months during the holiday after the college entrance examination, but he wrote a paper straight away?]

[Oh my god, this means that he, a 17-year-old student, has inspired Schultz, a Fields Medal winner? Am I reading some fantasy novel?]

[Cheating, definitely cheating! I suggest you check him to see if he has any spirit weapons! ]

Amidst all kinds of surprise, the news gradually spread, and it was no longer just spread domestically, but even the mathematical community abroad began to know the news.

……

Max Planck Institute for Mathematics, Bonn, Germany.

Max Planck Institute for Mathematics, part of the Max Planck Society.

The Max Planck Society is the largest academic research institution in Germany, and its scale ranks among the best in the world. Just like the Chinese Academy of Sciences in China, it covers the entire country.

The Max Planck Institute for Mathematics is also one of the most famous mathematics institutes in the world, almost equivalent to the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study, the French Institute of Advanced Studies and other research institutions.

After all, Germany could be called the world's mathematical center back then.

Even though its mathematical status declined due to the war, many mathematicians with great mathematical talent still emerged after the war.

For example, Gerd Faltings.

Faltings is the former director of the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics. His greatest achievement was the proof of Model's conjecture, which was a key step in proving Fermat's Last Theorem. So it can be said that the proof of Fermat's Last Theorem was based on the foundation laid by predecessors like Faltings, completing the final relay.

In 2018, Faltings finally found an ideal successor and handed over the Max Planck Institute of Mathematics to Peter Schulz, a genius who was considered to be able to inherit the glory of the mathematics emperor Grothendieck and bring new glory to mathematics.

"… In the IUTT paper by Shinichi Mochizuki, there is such a key problem in the global reconstruction algorithm of absolute tele-Abelian geometry." "We can't find the necessary points to interact with the fundamental group - there is no other isomorphism of the fundamental group that does not come from the isomorphism of the scheme, which also comes from Shinichi Mochizuki's theorem."

"Further down, the Frobenius-like graph is a reinforcement of the Etale-like graph, which essentially consists of a topological group π1(X) and an action on a simple group, e.g. the group k× of the units in k.5 Here, in many cases, the graph is derived from an action on a topological unit..."

“∧kx→lim→U∧π(X)H1(U,∧Z(1))……”

In a laboratory in the research institute, two men were talking in front of a blackboard covered with various mathematical formulas.

The man with long hair was explaining the formula on the blackboard to another man with more impressive hair.

The former is none other than Peter Schulz and the latter is Jacob Stix.

After listening to Schultz's story, Sticks smiled and said, "Yes, that's it!"

"Clearly, we have grasped the key point that in these isomorphisms, the abstract θ-pilot object does not define the arithmetic level of θ-divisors."

"Yes." Schultz nodded with a smile: "I believe that we are not far from our goal of completely proving that the ABC conjecture is still a conjecture."

"Now we should just wait for the paper to be officially published, right?" asked Stix.

That paper, of course, refers to the one that gave Schultz important inspiration.

"Yes, I hope IHES can be quick." Schultz said, "Come to think of it, I really want to communicate with the Chinese author named YiXiao... But now I am a little doubtful whether the author's name is real, because I searched for people in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Science and Technology of China, but did not find anyone with this name."

Sticks frowned: "This is indeed a problem."

"Dong dong."

There was a sudden knock on the door. They both turned around and were stunned.

"Professor Faltings, why are you here?" Schultz greeted with a smile.

The person who came was Gerd Faltings.

Although he resigned from the position of director two years ago, he is still a researcher at the Institute of Mathematics, so it is not surprising that he appears here.

Faltings said, "I came to see how your discussion went, and by the way, I have some new news for you."

"what news?"

"IHES put the paper online a few hours ago."

"Is it finally online?" Schultz's face lit up: "Then it looks like we can start preparing for the math conference."

"Oh, right! I have to send an invitation letter to the author of that paper, inviting him to attend this conference. Professor, do you have any information about that author? To be honest, I even doubt whether he is from that Huaguo University."

Hearing this question, Faltings laughed and said, "He is indeed from that school. Well, Peter, I think you may meet a match for mathematical talent. This Yi Xiao is 17 years old this year. He has just finished the college entrance examination and will soon study at the University of Science and Technology of China."

Schultz, Stix: "Wang Defa??"
