Germany.

North Rhine-Westphalia.

The conference room of the Max Planck Institute of Mathematical Studies, filled with people at the round conference table, looked a little crowded.

Sitting at the conference table and observing the expressions of several other participants, Faltins’s heart was full of complex emotions.

He never thought about it before.

The seminar inside the Bourbaki School, which was held to solve the great unification theory, finally turned into a “reviewing conference” that set the conclusion for this proposition…

There seems to be a kind of God in the midst of it, as if from the beginning, it was doomed that his expectations would not be as expected.

What made him happy and worried, after all, happened…

Many of the Scholars sitting at the conference table were silent.

On the one hand, it’s because the surprise has taken up all the thinking, on the other hand, because it’s because I’m surprised, I don’t know what to say…

Even if you want to express your opinion on this matter, you have to wait until you have finished reading thesis.

It is for this reason that from yesterday to today, the mainstream voices that truly control the voice of mathematics have been quite silent. So far, no well-known Scholar has published a professional opinion on this matter.

“originally is this way.”

The first thing to break the silence in the conference room is the Fefferman Professor.

Looking at thesis in his hand, his eyes creaked into two crescent-like gaps, and the applause from the crow’s feet was like looking at this exquisite piece of art.

“The deeper and more complex the truth, the more minimalist expressions are expressed, and the Motive we study, as we expected, is the common source of all good cohomology.”

“These wonderful qualities remind me of the metaphor of Plato’s cave. Can these properties all come from the same thing? Is it the realization of the same abstraction at different levels? Just like the number and shape of the direct source of the universe. In the abstract sense, they are actually the same thing. The only difference is the angle we look at the problem.”

“…is really wonderful.”

As for why the Feuerman Professor, who is not a Bourbaki school, appears here, it is a long story.

Originally he was attending an academic conference in the field of partial differential equations in Paris, and he suddenly learned of this amazing thing.

After a brief exchange with Professor Pierre Deligne via email, he learned that the “Public Review Committee” lacked an expert in the field of differentials and immediately arrived from Paris.

He has already seen thesis halfway along the way.

Now, he finally finished reading the remaining half.

Notice that everyone looked up and looked at himself, he put thesis in his hand on the table, shrugged his bladder.

“Absolutely… this thesis I have already finished reading, there is no big problem.”

“You don’t just look at me, I am sure it’s not just that I have read it myself… talk about my own opinion.”

Professor Pierre Deligne and Sanak Professor looked at each other and said after a moment of silence.

“It’s still for you. He used to be my student after all. I am not very convenient to make a conclusion.”

“So you plan to kick the ball to me?” Made a helpless expression, Sanak Professor sighed, took off the glasses on the bridge of the nose.

“For this major proposition, even if I have no way to give an evaluation immediately, maybe some words should wait until I have read it several times, but since you have asked this question…”

After a moment of pause, he cleared his throat and put on a serious tone.

“To be honest, I was shocked.”

“It’s not just his own understanding of the Langlands program and the motive theory, but his application of various mathematics tools in various fields… I didn’t expect this age, there is a chance to make me so open-minded.”

“For the time being, I don’t comment on whether his argumentation process is complete, but the value of the mathematics method and framework he proposed throughout thesis is probably beyond the achievements of algebraic geometry in the 20 century.”

“It’s more like a book than thesis. Since EGA, we have a new Bible… No, it’s probably greater, the Bible tells us what we should believe, and it’s like an epic, connected Past and future.”

When Sanak Professor said this, almost everyone in front of the conference table cast a surprised look at him.

Especially Professor Pierre Deligne, for a moment of surprise, he couldn’t speak.

Compared to other people, he has been working with the Old Man at the Princeton Institute of Advanced Studies for many hours.

Although it seems easygoing, there are very few people who can get a positive evaluation from this guy.

And obviously, this is not just a positive evaluation.

Faltins Professor opened his mouth and said it after a while.

“It’s a bit too exaggerated to be optimistic about EGA…”

EGA, Grothendieck’s Algebraic Geometry Foundation.

Although the name sounds like a university textbook or handout, it is actually the cornerstone of modern algebraic geometry, and the scholar who is engaged in research in this field is bible.

Anyway, comparing thesis, which is not sure if there is any problem, to the greatest achievement of Grothendieck, is still too exaggerated.

At least Faltins thinks so.

Sanak Professor shook his head and said: “It is no exaggeration. My statement is very conservative. In fact, what I want to express is that its impact on the future should even be in Euclidean’s “Geometry Original”. It’s at least equal. It’s too early to discuss these things now, wait and see, some people will witness my predictions in the future.”

At the conference table, the voice of the mouth was gradually spread.

Some people agree with Sanak’s ideas, while others think it’s too exaggerated.

Only one after another is not controversial, Lu Zhou did a Heaven-shaking, Earth-shattering major event.

Regardless of the retrospective history, can you find a scholar who can compete with him, this thesis is destined to become a watershed in the world of mathematics, before it was born, a world, and after it was born, another world. .

“This thesis…” looked at the print in his hand, Schultz expression said complexly. “I can’t make a conclusion immediately. I might have to wait until I go back and study it. Besides…”

Paused, he complained.

“Does this major mathematics proposition be too informal on Arxiv? How do you need a report?”

“I agree with you,” said Professor Pierre Deligne nodded, who was very silent throughout the whole process. “I will send an email to him later and give me some suggestions.”

“It seems that I have to fly to Nanjing again.”

Looking at the watch, Fefferman Professor muttered a sentence.

“I knew that I would buy the ticket for Nanjing directly, and I will come here to do something.”

Faltins: “…”

Schultz: “…”

Pierre Deligne: “…”
