The top student must be diligent.

Chapter 90 Invited Contribution to Annals of Mathematics

For ordinary people, a call from abroad is likely to be a scam call.

But for Xiao Yi, that’s not necessarily the case.

"Wait a minute, I need to take a call from the United States. I don't know what it is."

Xiao Yi said something to Ye Cheng next to him.
"Oh, okay." Ye Cheng nodded and was about to put down his phone, but suddenly he was stunned.

What?
A call from America?
Luo Qiao and Song Ziyang also showed curious looks.

Ye Cheng suddenly shouted exaggeratedly: "Oh my god, this is not a call from the International Mathematical Union to give you the Fields Medal, right?"

Xiao Yi rolled his eyes: "What a joke! Not to mention that the International Congress of Mathematicians will not be held for another two years, let alone the Fields Medal I won!"

Well, without exaggeration or understatement, it is entirely possible to get it in the future, but as for getting it now?
That's a bit too exaggerated.

"Okay, I'm on the phone."

Xiao Yi stopped talking to Ye Cheng and answered the phone directly.

Before answering the call, Ye Chengze shouted, "Turn on speakerphone!"

Xiao Yi curled the corner of his mouth and said, "Okay, satisfy him."

The call was connected hands-free, and soon a voice came from the other end: "Hello, is this Xiao Yi?"

Of course, it's in English.

"I'm Xiao Yi, who are you?" Xiao Yi said.

"Hahaha, I finally got in touch with you, a super math genius."

A hearty laugh came from the microphone: "I'm Peter Sarnak from Princeton University. I don't know if you have heard of me."
Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment, but soon came to his senses and said in surprise: "You are Professor Sanak! Of course I know you. I have cited your article "Families of L-functions and their Symmetry" in my paper!"

"I didn't expect you to call me!"

Peter Sanak is the Eugene Higgins Professor of Mathematics at Princeton University. The Eugene Higgins Professor of Mathematics is an honorary professorship at Princeton University for professors of mathematics, equivalent to the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics that Newton once held at Cambridge University.

The previous Eugene Higgins Professor of Mathematics at Princeton University was Andrew Wiles, who proved Fermat's Last Theorem.

As Wiles' successor, Peter Sunak has never won the Fields Medal, but his contribution to mathematics is no less than that of the Fields Medal winner. He has also won the Wolf Prize in Mathematics in 2014, which is also a top award in mathematics.

Hearing that Xiao Yi knew him, Peter Sanak laughed and said, "Haha, of course, I am not calling you as a professor at Princeton University, but as the editor-in-chief of the Annals of Mathematics."

"You haven't decided which journal to send your two papers, "Automorphisms of Algebraic Varieties under the Etale Fundamental Group" and "Far Abelian Geometry and the Elliott-Halberstam Conjecture", right? I wonder if you would like to consider the Annals of Mathematics?"

It turns out that you are here to invite me to contribute!

Xiao Yi suddenly realized, no wonder the other party called him.

This situation is quite common in academia.

Some scholars, after producing results, simply post their articles on preprint sites like arxiv without submitting them for publication. When the journal editors see this, they will take the initiative to invite them to submit their articles to their own journals.

Of course, this is also a kind of recognition for scholars.

It would be an even greater honor if the editor who invites you to submit your paper is from a top journal.

However, in the mathematics community, having the editors-in-chief of the four top journals invite papers...

Xiao Yi was also surprised for a moment.

"This... Professor Sanak, this really surprises me. In fact, I had planned to submit my paper to the Annals of Mathematics, but the format of the paper has not been revised yet, so I haven't published it yet."

Peter Sanak smiled and said, "That's great! As for the format, you don't have to worry about it. After you send us the manuscript, we will provide you with format modification services! These are not a problem." "Okay!"

…

Afterwards, Xiao Yi talked to Sanak about the details of the submission on the phone.

However, the three onlookers nearby were stunned.

Luo Qiao was fine, his English was not very good, so he was stunned because he was secretly impressed by how good Xiao Yi and the professor opposite him were in English, and they could have such a fluent conversation.

However, Ye Cheng and Song Ziyang roughly understood what Xiao Yi said to the person on the other end of the phone.

Editor-in-chief of the Annals of Mathematics? ! !

Isn’t the Annals of Mathematics one of the four top journals in the mathematics world?

Their Xiao God is now...

Received an invitation from the editor-in-chief of a top journal?
After being shocked for a long time, Ye Cheng suddenly realized that he had not stopped recording the video on his mobile phone.

So he immediately ended the recording and sent the video to the group.

While waiting for the video to be uploaded, everyone in the group has been waiting for this video for a long time and now they have started to complain about it.

Beijing University - Chen Muhua: [Where are you? I promised to post a video, but it has been so long. I have missed Xiao Shen for a long time since we parted at the Institute of Mathematics. ]

Qinghua-Jiang Long: [@KeDa-Ye Cheng, speak up! ]

Under various urgings, Ye Cheng replied: [Right away, right away, no hurry, it will be sent out soon, the big one is coming soon. 】

Jingda-Chen Muhua: [What do you mean? Why do I have a bad feeling? ]

Soon, the video was uploaded successfully, and people who often chatted in the group immediately clicked in to watch it. After a moment——

Beijing University - Chen Muhua: [The video is very good, please don’t post it next time. ]

Qinghua-Jiang Long: [It's over, I've been hit hard again, Ye Cheng, you really deserve to die! ]

Shanghai Jiao Tong University-Luo Xiao: [Their English is really good.]

Kyoto University-Lupin: [Wow, the editor-in-chief of the Annals of Mathematics, Professor Sanak?! He is the winner of the Wolf Prize in Mathematics, and his student won the Fields Medal two years ago! He actually came to Xiao Shen to invite him to contribute? ]

Qinghua-Professor Liu Min: [Even two papers, Xiao Yi can publish two papers in the Annals of Mathematics at once]

The professor couldn't sit still.

HKUST-Ye Cheng: [@Qinghua-Jiang Long, why are you scolding me? You asked me to post this! ]

Qinghua-Jiang Long: [Because I am an administrator. ]

【UST-Ye Cheng was banned from posting for one hour by the administrator.】

"FUCK! This authority bastard! He became an administrator just because he has a good relationship with Professor Liu!" Ye Cheng was indignant. Professor Liu Min was the owner of their group, so Jiang Long, who was also from Qinghua, became the administrator.

He was banned from speaking before because of Jiang Long.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yi, who was submitting an article to the Annals of Mathematics under the guidance of Professor Sanak, heard Sanak's question on his phone: "Hmm? Is anyone arguing over there?"

Xiao Yi glanced back and said, "Well... maybe he's not arguing, but fighting."
