Chapter 455: "Mountain" and the Big Prize
The three most important awards of the China Mathematical Congress each year are the Hua Luogeng Mathematician Award, the Chern Mathematics Award and the Zhong Jiaqing Mathematics Award.

Normally, the three major awards are given to recognize different groups of people.

The Hua Luogeng Mathematics Award represents lifetime achievement and is also the highest lifetime achievement award in Chinese mathematics. It is awarded every two years, with no more than two people selected each time. The prize money is 50 yuan. The main selection targets are Chinese mathematicians over the age of who have made outstanding contributions in the field of mathematics.

The Chern Mathematics Award is intended to encourage young and middle-aged scholars, those Chinese mathematicians under the age of 50 who have made outstanding achievements in the field of mathematics. The award rules and prize money are the same as those of the Hua Luogeng Mathematics Award.

As for the final Zhong Jiaqing Mathematics Award, it is used to honor outstanding doctoral and master's students in mathematics. It is selected once a year, with no more than four people at a time, and the prize money is 1.5 yuan.

Theoretically speaking.

Xu Qingshan is indeed a perfect candidate for the Chern Shiing-Shen Mathematics Award and the Zhong Jiaqing Mathematics Award. After all, he is already considered the number one young scholar in the field of mathematics in China. Even among the older generation, there are only a handful of people who can compete with Xu Qingshan.

However, the Hua Luogeng Mathematics Award is a lifetime achievement award, and the age cutoff is generally 50.

At Xu Qingshan's age, he won this award 30 years early.

But in fact, no one in the entire meeting hall had any objection.

After all, the essence of mathematics awards is results-based.

Sufficient results must be achieved first before discussing other restrictions, but Xu Qingshan's achievements have already exceeded expectations.

Even the entire Chinese Mathematical Society had not considered what to do if someone won the Fields Medal.

After all, whether looking at the past or the present, except Xu Qingshan, others are still too far away from the Fields Medal.

So after the emergence of such a genius as Xu Qingshan.

After the discussion among the older generation, they thought that since two awards had already been given, they might as well give out the third award as well. This would look better and better reflect their importance to Xu Qingshan.

This is all from Peking University.

There is no doubt that the Chinese Mathematical Society is a society mainly based on the Department of Mathematics of Peking University. The instructions here mostly represent Peking University's care for Xu Qingshan.

This also makes Xu Qingshan the first individual winner of the "Three Major Grand Slam" in the history of the Chinese Mathematical Society.

There was a team that won the three major awards once before.

But that is a team, not an individual. After all, it is difficult for a professor himself to have the opportunity to win the Zhong Jiaqing Mathematics Award established after 1987.

Even the earliest batch of award-winning doctoral students was only 23 years old, and the oldest was just approaching 50. It was very difficult to win the Chern Prize in Mathematics, let alone the more prestigious Hua Luogeng Prize in Mathematics.

As the new president of the Chinese Mathematical Society, the youngest president in history, and the winner of three major awards, Xu Qingshan would naturally be kept on the stage to give a speech.

only.

If the audience were all young people, Xu Qingshan would have plenty of room to perform.

Whether it is to incite the passion in young people or to vigorously exaggerate emotions to achieve empathy, there are many ways.

But now, among those attending the conference, the youngest people in the audience are doctoral students who are almost 30 years old.

These guys have been working as scientific research slaves for a long time and have become a little numb.

As for the other professors, they are even more experienced and battle-hardened. Their old hearts will not be excited by Xu Qingshan's few words. For them, more real things can make their hearts beat harder.

For example, the project cooperation promised by Xu Qingshan.

After a brief speech, Xu Qingshan originally planned to step down, but after thinking about it, he returned to the stage and stood in the middle. The seniors in the audience looked at Xu Qingshan in surprise, wondering what else he was planning.

"Cough cough."

Xu Qingshan simply coughed, smiled a little embarrassedly, and spoke softly.

"Everyone, in addition to thanking the Mathematical Society for awarding me the three major prizes, I have another piece of news to tell you."

Xu Qingshan did not tell anyone about this news. The old men from Peking University raised their eyebrows and straightened their backs unconsciously, fearing that this kid would suddenly cause trouble.

"Everyone knows that I am now establishing the Qingshan Institute for Advanced Study. Mathematics journals have always been dominated by foreign journals. We need to make a lot of efforts to change this situation."

Xu Qingshan's voice was not loud, but it made everyone present quiet down. What he said was indeed the truth.

"Today is a big day for the Chinese Mathematical Society. Maybe I am a little overconfident when I say this, but fortunately I am young enough and have achieved some small results."

As Xu Qingshan spoke, he gently raised the certificate and bouquet in his hands.

The corners of the mouths of the people in the audience twitched.

If this is considered a small achievement for you, what are our achievements?
"I hope that we can work together to gradually transfer the discourse power of the mathematics community to China. I also hope that this transfer will start from now on."

Xu Qingshan looked at the people below the stage with a smile.

They almost represent the past, present and future of the Chinese mathematics community, and represent the mainstay and executors of the future development of Chinese mathematics.

Such occasions are rare, so Xu Qingshan decided to tell everyone in advance about the project he had prepared.

"So, I want to create a journal based on Qingshan Institute for Advanced Study, named "Mountain", which means we will become the highest mountain in the mathematics world."

"As for the reviewers, I think everyone should know the situation of several professors in the Department of Mathematics of Qingshan Institute for Advanced Study. You can rest assured about their level. For the time being, we plan to make it a quarterly journal to select the highest-level and most valuable academic achievements each quarter, which are high-level achievements that can promote the development of the mathematics community."

Xu Qingshan said that he would of course also consider the relationship between domestic academic achievements and job levels and projects. He saw that the faces of the people in the audience were different, so he naturally knew what they were worried about, and he continued to add.

"Don't worry about the indicators of your laboratory teams and projects."

“I will connect with the four top journals to ensure that the papers published in our journals in the early stage can also receive the same evaluation results as the four major journals. I will also negotiate with the leaders of the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Education to include our journal in the rating. I know this sounds difficult, but believe me, I have the strength and determination. I hope that in the future, the discourse power of mathematics will be mastered by our Huaxia Department, and our future will be even brighter.”

After Xu Qingshan finished speaking, the audience hesitated for a while before bursting into applause.

If anyone observes carefully, they will find that those who applaud first are the old academicians who do not need to consider academic ratings and promotions.

For them, Xu Qingshan's ideas and actions really hit the mark. As for others.

They naturally agreed that Xu Qingshan was willing to take the lead in creating a journal with such a strong team.

However, Xu Qingshan's high-level performance requirements have actually screened out quite a few of them. In addition, the promises Xu Qingshan has made so far are too vague.

In their opinion, if Xu Qingshan fails in the negotiations, the thesis will not count at all in the job evaluation. What should they do then?
They are not Xu Qingshan, who can easily produce a top-notch research result. Sometimes a paper published in a top journal is the pinnacle of their life.

They didn't dare to gamble with Xu Qingshan at such a peak.

However, the teachers in their own school all took the initiative to applaud, so they couldn't just not follow suit, right?

Xu Qingshan looked at the reaction on the scene and understood something.

However, he did not expect that he could convince everyone today and make everyone trust him unwaveringly just by opening his mouth.

He is just here to promote it in advance. By then, as long as the journal is established, gets commitments from the Ministry of Science and Technology and the State Science and Technology Commission, and joins the domestic rating system, even if he doesn't promote it very strongly, there will still be people willing to come and try it with him.

The Chinese Mathematical Conference, which could almost be considered as Xu Qingshan's special event, ended in a hurry. At the dinner in the evening, Xu Qingshan was a little overwhelmed by those enthusiastic senior predecessors.

Some people want to fill Xu Qingshan's shoes with their own disciples so that they can benefit from Xu Qingshan's fame.

Some people just wanted to chat with Xu Qingshan and express their admiration for him.

The academicians have already stood at the top of China's scientific research system, but the academicians who are rare in normal days are just countless old men to Xu Qingshan at the dinner.

Socializing with people is an energy-consuming thing, and socializing with a group of old men can almost make people exhausted to the point of coma.

After finally getting rid of this group of old academicians, Xu Qingshan planned to return to the experimental base in Ludao tomorrow to continue to complete his chip project, but he received unexpected news.

"The Steele Award? Or the Pioneering Research Contribution Award? It's been two weeks since it was awarded? How come I haven't received any news at all?"

Xu Qingshan was standing on the balcony of the hotel when he received a call from the other side of the ocean. He was quite surprised.

"Professor Xu, have you not checked your email recently?"

The other party said helplessly.

God knows that the other party insisted on calling Xu Qingshan every day, but it was always stuck at the time when Xu Qingshan was in the laboratory, so he was never able to get in touch with him at all. Today, Xu Qingshan finally came out for a meeting, and he was finally able to get in touch with him.

"Oh, sorry. Let me check. I have a lot of emails. I will reply to you as soon as I find them."

"That's good. Oh, by the way, you may have to look back a little further. If I remember correctly, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and the Crawford Foundation should also be trying to contact you. Now everyone in the industry basically knows that you seem to have disappeared, so they have made special arrangements. Please reply to them as soon as possible."

The other party reminded kindly.

"And the Crawford Medal?"

Xu Qingshan was even more surprised.

I have been missing for a while to work on chips. Did I get into trouble?

The Steele Prize for Pioneering Research Contributions is based on the long-term impact of the results as its core criterion. It is endorsed by the American Mathematical Society and symbolizes recognition of research depth and innovation in the academic community. A large portion of the awards are given to fundamental breakthroughs in the fields of algebra and number theory, which is similar to the Cole Prize in Number Theory.

As for the Crawford Prize, it is even more special.

It is regarded as one of the top honors in the field of natural sciences, on par with the Nobel Prize and the Abel Prize. From the perspective of academia, the Crafoord Prize is more like filling the vacancy in the Nobel Prize in a certain discipline, and its selection system is also very interesting.

The four major disciplines for the selection, mathematics, astronomy, earth sciences and biological sciences, cover the gaps in the Nobel Prize field. Although there is some overlap between biological sciences and the Nobel Prize in Medicine and Physiology, more emphasis is placed on the fields of ecology and polyarthritis, which have never appeared in the Nobel Prize in Medicine.

The Crafoord Prize is awarded once a year to only one academic field at a time, with the four major disciplines taking turns to award it.

It was originally planned that the award would be presented in person by the King of Sweden in April every year, but this year due to the lack of follow-up proof of Xu Qingshan's Riemann hypothesis, the award was not presented until the verification was finalized in June. However, Xu Qingshan mysteriously disappeared without any news.

This has been delayed until now.

Xu Qingshan searched for the award emails for the two awards in his mailbox, which would have piled up like a mountain if it had become a physical entity. After searching for a long time, he finally found them and replied immediately.

However, when it comes to the award ceremony of the Crawford Award, he made an excuse, saying that his health was not very good and he might not be able to support long-distance travel, so he hoped that the award ceremony could be postponed or held online.

After all, he had just returned from Europe, where he had planted a lot of landmines. Although they didn't know it was Xu Qingshan who did it, it was prudent to say that Xu Qingshan had no plans to go abroad in the short term.

Originally, Xu Qingshan had prepared himself mentally for the possibility that his award might be revoked because he could not attend the event in person.

Unexpectedly, after I sent the email, I received a reply almost instantly, as if the other party was afraid that I would miss the opportunity to communicate with him if I replied too slowly. It took Xu Qingshan a while to understand what the other party meant.

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences stated that King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia of Sweden will be completing a private visit to China in the near future and will arrive in Beijing and Shanghai. They are also willing to move the award ceremony to China and even directly include Ludao in the visited cities, just to meet Xu Qingshan, thereby demonstrating their friendly attitude towards China and their admiration for Xu Qingshan.

"Is my brother's reputation so great now?"

Xu Qingshan muttered to himself as he looked at the email.

Moreover, he thought about it carefully and realized that he had already won two of the four major awards in mathematics.

The remaining Abel Prizes may take some time to be awarded, after all, they are lifetime achievement awards.

What about the Wolf Prize in Mathematics?

Xu Qingshan remembers that last year's Wolf Prize in Mathematics was awarded to Mr. Qiu. At that time, his own results had not yet come out. In the case of the twin prime conjecture, there was still some gap between his own results and Mr. Qiu's lifelong learning.

But what about this year?
Xu Qingshan asked Deligne about it, but Deligne gave him a question mark in return.

This made Xu Qingshan even more confused. Deligne realized that Xu Qingshan really didn't know, so he explained it.

There was no Wolf Prize in 2011, but in 2012. However, it is generally recognized that Xu Qingshan will be the winner of the 2012 Wolf Prize.

Deligne thought Xu Qingshan came to show off to him, but he didn't expect that this idiot didn't even read the major forums!
