Chapter 131 Sorry, I really can’t think of a title for this chapter!

After the meeting, when they went to have dinner, the two professors with the highest status in the academic world naturally walked together with Qiao Yu and Tian Yanzhen.
Well, I have to put Qiao Yu first here.
After all, the big guys came together this time because they wanted to chat with Qiao Yu a little more.
"Well, I heard that mathematicians are graded as Fields Medal mathematicians, and mathematicians with sixty-minute presentations... Then if I just give a sixty-minute presentation, am I already a second-tier mathematician? "Qiao Yu asked Schultz beside him excitedly.
It’s not that I don’t give Mr. Pierre Delini face, but that this boss is a bit older after all. Relatively speaking, Peter Schulz, who is not yet forty years old, should understand the minds of young people better. There is no obstacle to chatting. "First of all, I have never heard of this statement. But I think even if there is such a statement, the sixty-minute lecture on mathematicians should refer to the World Congress of Mathematicians, not this kind of statement. Satellite conference.
And there are many types of sixty-minute reports. They are opening reports, closing reports, main venues, or sub-venues... In short, if there are no restrictions, sixty-minute reports are actually very common, so if you are referring to World Mathematics The sixty-minute report at the family meeting was indeed very valuable.
Secondly, if you can give a sixty-minute report at the World Congress of Mathematicians, you will usually win many mathematics awards. For example, many Fields Medal winners have been invited to give six-minute lectures at the World Congress of Mathematicians at different times. Ten minutes report.
If I remember correctly, your supervisor, Professor Tian, ​​once won the Veblen Medal. And I don’t think you should think about it now, it doesn’t make much sense. You will even be nominated for the Fields Medal next year, but I think it’s a big mistake. The probability is to accompany him.
Because you are still too young. When I was your age, I was still working hard to participate in IMO, but you have already come to participate in the mathematics conference. So, I think you don’t need to worry at all. Bypass the so-called second level of mathematics. Well, wouldn’t it be better to just become a first-rate mathematician?”
Peter Schulz shrugged his shoulders and said.
These words also made Pierre Delini and Tian Yan smile knowingly.
Successful older people mostly like young people who are both capable and motivated, because it's like seeing their younger selves.
"Oh, that's it. But I also want to participate in this year's IMO, and I'll go in July. I also want to win a gold medal and bring glory to the country." Qiao Yu didn't care about the smiles of the old professors and said grandly. "You? Going to participate in IMO? You are not qualified to participate, right?" Pierre Delini took over Qiao Yu's words.
"Ah? Why am I not qualified? IMO as long as high school students under 20 years old can participate?" Qiao Yu looked at this math giant in surprise.
"Yes, the problem lies with high school students. Only high school students who have not registered in a university are eligible to participate in IMO. Aren't you already at Yanbei University?" Pierre Delini said, and then looked at He glanced at Tian Yanzhen next to him.
"Oh, I'm not afraid of that. I just came to Yanbei University for the past six months to get used to college life. In fact, my student status is still in high school." Qiao Yu explained understandingly, and then glanced at Director Tian. Tian Yan really smiled but
language.
When the final registration was made, Qiao Yu's student status was indeed still in Xingtie No. 1 Middle School. However, after submitting the school certificate and registering, he had already transferred to Yanbei University, creating a time lag. Generally speaking, after the registration is reviewed,
, the IMO organizing committee will not confirm the student status information of each player, nor does it have the authority.
Of course, Qiao Yu's situation is indeed somewhat different...
"Oh? But as far as I know, you have a paper published by the unit of Yujiang University. Before IMO is officially held, there will be another paper published by the unit of Yanbei Mathematics Research Center. Of course, the paper publishing unit may be related to yours.
Student status doesn't matter.
Generally speaking, the IMO organizing committee does not pay attention to these, but if other delegations complain that it is obviously unfair for you to take the exam..." At this point, Pierre Delini spread his hands,
The expression seems to say you know...
Qiao Yu was stunned. He really hadn't thought about this. He asked suspiciously: "No, other delegations can also complain about whether the players are qualified to participate?"
"Of course, if you participate in IMO, it will cause trouble to the vast majority of delegations, and you may even receive collective complaints from multiple delegations. The organizing committee must also consider everyone's opinions, so I think if you want to get a
If you win an IMO gold medal, it will probably be very difficult. Unless you can seal everyone's mouths."
Pierre Delini shrugged and said.
What can I say, this angle is too tricky, and Qiao Yu didn't expect it. What does good fortune and misfortune depend on? There is no doubt that this is it.
Isn’t it his own preference to decide which institution the paper he writes will be accepted by? And this is obviously not his problem, but the problem of the journal editor. After all, if the paper is written by a middle school, the editors may not even read it, and just throw it in the trash can.
.
"Well... what if the paper is postponed?" Qiao Yu asked after thinking for a while.
"The paper can be postponed, but tomorrow's meeting cannot be postponed. Let's put it this way, at tomorrow's meeting listening to your report in the audience will be the experts and judges of the IMO organizing committee, and there may also be IMO team leaders from many countries.
Professor, after they see you on the podium tomorrow, how do you think they will feel when they see you in the IMO arena again in July?
Anyway, if I were also a team leader, I would definitely have some questions. And you should also think about the IMO judges and let them supervise your participation in the competition. Well, to be honest, if you must have this obsession,
If you want to participate in IMO, I might be able to recommend you to be a judge for this IMO."
Qiao Yu thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's wait until the time comes. We have alternate members anyway."
After briefly chatting about IMO, we arrived at the restaurant.
In fact, it's past lunch time, but the living habits here are obviously different from those in China. Those big bosses and professors obviously don't care about lunch, and are used to eating sandwiches, barbecue and the like.
Everyone’s topic also changed to Qiao Yu’s complementary proof method for the geometric Langlands conjecture.
The method of local-global consistency correction operator borrows some basic results of higher-order homology and local-global compatibility theory, and takes advantage of the basic properties of homomorphic space HOM, especially the homomorphism between local and global systems.
Mapping to solve problems is indeed a brand new idea.
The most active ones were probably Dennis and Schultz.
In the words of Schultz: "I have always believed that the full picture of the geometric Langlands conjecture is far from being revealed, but there is no doubt that Qiao Yu's plan brings us closer to its true essence. Such work is not only technical
This achievement reflects a completely new way of thinking in mathematics.”
Dennis's assessment was simpler: "Yeah, it's really exciting."
Of course, there are some subtexts that neither of them said because everyone knew it.
It’s hard to imagine that this was the insight of a sixteen-year-old boy.
All the professors attending the meeting tacitly agreed not to mention Professors Sam and Frank.
Of course, it's useless to mention it. The tenderness shown in the academic world is often an illusion.
It's just that Qiao Yu, who should be in high spirits, is actually not in a high mood.
Going to Australia to win an IMO gold medal was a goal he had previously set for himself, but now he may not be able to win the medal due to human intervention, which made him feel quite complicated.
But thinking on the bright side, maybe Professor Pierre Delini was being alarmist. Maybe he thought the team leaders were too bad...
After all, IMO is a team competition, and a gold medal does not actually determine the final result of the team competition.
Forget it...I don’t want to think about it anymore!
Now that things have come to this point, we can't not give a report at the meeting, right?
Qiao Yu could still tell which one was light and which was serious.
Pan Jingyuan came to the hotel in the afternoon with several professors from Huaqing.
After the plane landed and had internet connection, Pan Jingyuan received a message from Professor Dennis. He called Dennis back as soon as possible.
After arriving at the hotel and checking in, Pan Jingyuan immediately found Dennis in the hotel room. "Did Qiao Yu give a complete solution?" Pan Jingyuan asked as soon as they met.
"Yes, I said, he is a magical Chinese boy." Dennis nodded. "Is there a detailed process?"
"Of course, he has already explained it in detail to the organizing committee's review committee during the morning seminar. But I think it's not fair to Qiao Yu to repeat it again, but you can hear his thoughts tomorrow. So, wait.
Just one day." Dennis spread his hands and said.
"Tomorrow?" Pan Jingyuan was stunned for a moment, confused, and asked, "But I remember that Qiao Yu's report should be on the morning of the second day of the conference."
"Yes, that was originally the case. But it has been changed. The organizing committee and Professor Schultz will come forward to persuade Professor Ukai to give the opportunity to give the opening report of the conference to Qiao Yu. This has been unanimously recognized by the review experts of the on-site organizing committee. .Of course it also includes my approval.”
Well, Dennis' last words of "my approval" are not to flatter himself. Many people don't know that he was actually the one to give the opening report of this conference.
Then Dennis said with a smile: "So in tomorrow's opening report, Qiao Yu will spend about fifteen minutes briefly explaining about conjugate ridge singular points, and use the rest of the time to tell everyone how he solves the problem of local-global unity. sex problem, and modify the Ambidexterity theorem.”
"Opening report of the meeting?" Pan Jingyuan was stunned, and then he couldn't help but feel a little envious.
After all, he has never given an opening report at such a global academic conference so far. He has spoken at many small-scale report conferences.
"Yes, Pierre Delini took the initiative. The organizing committee is probably in a hurry to change the brochure. Fortunately, this is not the World Congress of Mathematicians, otherwise it would be really messed up. Huh... but at least this helps us Solved a problem. You understand, Pan."
Dennis shrugged and said.
Pan Jingyuan was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted. "So we don't notify Sam and Frank in advance?"
"Sam will come to this meeting, and I will talk to him in the evening. As for Frank, I think he will also know about it immediately. After all, Mr. Lucas Eisen should already know the news." Dennis didn't say anything. Said without hesitation.
Pan Jingyuan was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses.
"So we don't notify Sam and Frank in advance?"
"Sam will come to this meeting, and I will talk to him in the evening. As for Frank, I think he will also know about it immediately. After all, Mr. Lucas Eisen should already know the news." Dennis didn't say anything. Said without hesitation.
Obviously he has made his decision.
LGIR is used to further construct a global morphism, and the reconstructed object of each local singular point is mapped to a new algebraic layer, thereby achieving consistency on the entire algebraic variety and making the geometric Langlands conjecture independent of features. This is still true in the case of layer automorphism.
This idea was something they had never thought of before. It was crazy enough and effective enough. With Dennis' understanding of Sam, the other party should be able to understand his difficulties.
This is not betrayal, but respect for mathematics.
More effective and almost flawless mathematical methods are more likely to resonate with everyone.
"I understand." Pan Jingyuan breathed out deeply. He originally planned to talk to Qiao Yu, but now he suddenly gave up. After all, he actually had special feelings for Qiao Yu.
At least on this issue, he can be regarded as half of Qiao Yu's mentor. It was he who led Qiao Yu to understand this topic in depth. If this was a final exam, then Qiao Yu seemed to have submitted a full score answer sheet that was recognized by the authority. As a class teacher Teacher, it is a special feeling to know how this answer sheet was written from the report meeting the next day.
Dennis nodded towards Pan Jingyuan and said: "Okay, Pan, go eat something and take a rest early. Anyway, this is actually good news for us. We succeeded. Next we can use these new Tools to do more.
High-dimensional Langlands correspondence, Langlands parameterized space structure, non-commutative geometry and Langlands correspondence... Look, we have saved a lot of time and can focus on more interesting problems. I believe Sam and Frank must have thought so too."
"Of course, you're right. But... forget it, thank you, Dennis." "Haha, no need to say thank you. We are partners now."
On the other side, in the activity room prepared by the organizing committee for this exchange of mathematicians, Li Lixing, who had also just arrived at the hotel, was chatting with a familiar professor.
"Hi, Professor Li, have you heard? The organizing committee for tomorrow's opening report has decided to make a temporary change. It is said that Professor Ukai feels unwell, so his report will be changed before the closing ceremony."
"Oh? Feeling unwell?" Li Lixing was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized that this was most likely a euphemism given by the organizing committee to save the face of the professor who was scheduled to give the opening report. Generally speaking, it is not a sudden serious illness. A minor cold or fever will probably not affect the 60-minute report.
If I were really seriously ill, I wouldn't drag my body to make a pre-closing report.
"So which professor's achievements made the organizing committee decide to temporarily replace him?" Li Lixing asked casually. It had nothing to do with him anyway.
If they produce results, Yizuo will have a chance to compete for the opening report, but their problem has not been completely solved. However, this kind of thing is indeed abnormal.
You must know that as a satellite conference of the World Congress of Mathematicians, the World Congress on Algebraic Geometry is not held at a fixed time. Generally, such a conference is held only when the organizing committee feels that some good results have been achieved recently.
The opening report of each conference must of course address the most popular research topics in the near future.
After all, algebraic geometry is an extremely important and also extremely lively field of mathematical research.
Li Lixing heard before that the conference was originally determined to be held because of the breakthrough of the geometric Langlands conjecture. As a result, just one month before the conference was scheduled to be held, Qiao Yu suddenly found a loophole in the proof. As a result, the organizing committee made temporary changes. Selected candidates for the opening report.
From the geometric Langlands conjecture, it becomes a problem of K3 surface.
Who would have thought that just one day before the meeting started, the speaker candidates would be changed again... This year's conference will be full of twists and turns.
"Huh? You don't know? It's that Qiao Yu. I just heard Professor Su from Yanbei University say that Qiao Yu joined your research group some time ago. Don't you have any communication with each other?" "Qiao Yu" ?Wasn't he invited to give a thirty-minute report?" Li Lixing asked in shock.
"Yes, but I heard that he solved the problem he raised about the failure of the Ambidexterity theorem due to conjugate ridge singular points during this period. In other words, they picked a problem and then solved it. , so a thirty-minute report meeting is not enough.”
Well, for this reason...
Well, the first thing Li Lixing thought was that Mr. Yuan who stayed in Huaqing must feel very regretful at this time. Mr. Yuan was actually invited to attend the conference.
But Mr. Yuan felt that Qiao Yu was only giving a 30-minute report, so he declined.
When parting yesterday, the old man was still joking that he wanted to take good care of his health and wait until Qiao Yu gave his opening report at the World Congress of Mathematicians before going to listen to it. As a result, he heard the news as soon as he arrived today.
"Is this news confirmed?"
"I'm pretty sure. You'll know when you go to the lobby later. Staff are already changing the posters."
"Well...well, this is indeed a great contribution. It also makes me look forward to tomorrow's report meeting even more." Li Lixing replied. To be honest, although he said so, Li Lixing was confused in his head. .I can’t understand Qiao Yu even more.
He originally thought that Qiao Yu must have been thinking with them for so long in May about how to continue to promote the two-dimensional generalization of Chevalet's theorem. Strictly speaking, this issue belongs to the field of geometric representation theory and the geometric Langlands program. .
As a result, Qiao Yu went to solve the problem he raised.
So the young man’s energy is so strong, isn’t there a bottleneck in his head?…
In another conference room, Princeton’s Zhang Shuwen and Lot Dugan had just learned the news.
Although he came in the morning, he did not attend the small seminar held specifically for Qiao Yu. After all, he was not a member of the organizing committee and did not hold a position on the review team. In fact, he came with Lot Dugan I attended this meeting because of the invitation from Lot Dugan last time.
The dean of the Princeton School of Mathematics still planned to talk to Qiao Yu.
And as the editor-in-chief of Ann.Math, one of the four top journals in mathematics in the world, he certainly has no shortage of invitations to such large-scale academic conferences. In fact, even the editor will not lack them. Even though the N-body problem he studies is strictly It does not directly belong to the category of algebraic geometry.
Of course, it cannot be said that there is no intersection at all. After all, many special cases of the N-body problem can constitute a completely integrable system. Such systems are often studied with the help of Riemann surfaces and Abelian varieties in algebraic geometry. Not to mention N Body problems often need to be studied under the framework of Hamiltonian dynamics, and the phase space of the Hamiltonian system has an symplectic structure. Symplegic geometry and algebraic geometry are closely related in some cases...
If we discuss some generalized, abstract N-body problems, the particle motion can be abstracted as a vector field on an algebraic variety. When studying the dynamic behavior on these algebraic varieties, the algebraic geometry method becomes an effective tool.
Therefore, the little old man's attainments in algebraic geometry are actually quite profound. In terms of qualifications and achievements, he is at least better than 80% of the professors who specialize in algebraic geometry. Naturally, he is more qualified to participate in this grand event.
After hearing the news, Lot Dugan was also surprised.
"Oh, Professor Zhang, really, I think that boy should be your student. He is using actions to implement your ideas, and is good at asking questions for himself and then solving them! I remember that you have always asked so of your students.
.”
The tone was very exaggerated, but Zhang Shuwen didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Although he had met Qiao Yu once, to be honest, he didn't seem to have said these words that day.
However, in view of what he said that day, Qiao Yu also completed it very well, so Zhang Shuwen was even a little unsure whether he had said this to Qiao Yu. "If Professor Tian hears your words, he will be very upset."
Unhappy." Zhang Shuwen replied casually to Lott Dugan's ridicule.
Well, like Pan Jingyuan, his curiosity was also piqued.
This question was actually very interesting, just as interesting as when Qiao Yu found the loophole in the geometric Langlands conjecture. He also wanted to know how Qiao Yu solved the problem that this kid found.
"I don't want to worry about this anymore. In fact, according to the information I got, your previous analysis was correct. The kid has already been on the line with Schultz. Who knows what they have talked about. To let a sixteen-year-old
A kid who is 6 years old is giving an opening report!? Anyway, those old guys must be crazy! Hey.”
Lot Dugan let out a long sigh.
Zhang Shuwen certainly understood the reason why Lot Dugan sighed. The little old man was probably in despair.
After all, it is indeed difficult for him to hope to win from the competition.
Although Princeton is indeed attractive to many students, there is a high probability that these will not include a sixteen-year-old boy who can speak at a conference of world-class mathematicians.
Let's put it this way, after tomorrow's meeting, sixteen-year-old Qiao Yu will probably become the focus of the entire mathematics world. As long as there is a mathematics department in any university in the world, who wouldn't want to attract such a young genius?
Just like capital markets such as stocks or futures, what mathematicians value more is definitely not Qiao Yu's current achievements, but expectations. Yes, what everyone values ​​​​more is expectations for Qiao Yu's future. A
It is expected that the views discussed by a possible world leader in mathematics in the future will be widely recognized.
Just like the twenty-three questions Hilbert raised at the World Congress of Mathematicians in Paris in 1900, they covered many fields of number theory, algebra, geometry, and analysis, and directly promoted the development of the entire mathematical research.
With such an outstanding alumnus, the influence of Hilbert’s alma mater, the University of Königsberg, is undoubted. In that era, the University of Königsberg attracted many academic elites and became the leading European scientific and cultural institution at that time.
one of the focus.
It's just that due to some well-known reasons in that era, this school can be said to have ceased to exist.
If we consider that modern mathematics has begun to move into many subdivided fields, there is no doubt that if a nearly dominant mathematical leader like Hilbert emerges again, it can bring great benefits to his alma mater.
"Really, Professor Dugan, I suggest you stop thinking so much. As I said before, Qiao Yu doesn't seem to be planning to study abroad. And to be honest, even if there is an exchange, the current United States is not the best for him.
Choose." Zhang Shuwen said seriously.
Lot Dugan glanced at Zhang Shuwen and was unable to say anything against it.
In this special era, some things can no longer be kept out of the academic circle. The high walls of the school can no longer block many things. Of course he understands this. "Damn..." The little old man with a bad temper
He cursed, but of course no one knew what he was cursing.
Thousands of kilometers away in Berkeley, California, Frank was still lying in bed and was awakened by the ringtone on the bedside table. "Whose phone number? Honey?" asked his wife who was sleeping next to him.
Frank picked up the phone and looked at it: "Grandpa." "So early?" his wife complained.
Yes, the call was from Lucas Eisen.
He is the biological father of his father-in-law, the big boss of the Philippine Prize in Qiao Yu’s mouth. He is also one of the members of the presidium of the organizing committee of the World University of Algebraic Geometry. Of course, for this kind of non-fixed related meeting, although the presidium members are usually
A leading scholar in the field, but this position is not fixed.
After all, the members of this presidium are not just an honorary title, they really have to work, and there is no salary. Everyone needs to be responsible for planning the content of the meeting, choosing to invite speakers, and coordinating various affairs. Big bosses often do not do this
Too much time is wasted. So if you look at the list of presidiums for previous conferences, you will find that the members of the presidium are actually different for each conference.
As many people know, the most important topic of this conference was originally the geometric Langlands conjecture. The conference also planned to propose a series of related reports around this issue to showcase the latest research results to other researchers.
There is no doubt that this is one of the fastest ways to enhance academic influence.
Originally, Yonex Frank was also going to participate, but due to well-known reasons, the relevant report was not suitable for presentation for the time being. Instead, Qiao Yu was given the opportunity to give this thirty-minute report. Well, things in this world
, sometimes it’s such a coincidence, what can be done?
Frank received a call from the old man at this time, and Frank actually felt very complicated. Of course he knew that the meeting would be officially held tomorrow, but what could be done?
This problem still has not been solved.
But Frank could only cheer up and answer the call. After all, the old man could provide him with great help. Of course, he was also a little confused, because he had already reported to the old man that he would not attend this meeting.
After all, if he went, other members of the research team would definitely go to listen to Qiao Yu's report, and he would have no choice but to go. But if he went, would he be allowed to listen to his wild son's report in the audience? If there was an opportunity for this report
If it hadn't been snatched from him, Frank might still have this demeanor, but it's a pity...
After passing these thoughts, Frank answered the phone directly.
"Hi, Grandpa..." Frank tried to sound relaxed and without too many negative emotions. "I have some very bad news to tell you, Frank."
Frank could hear that the tone on the other end was a little heavy, which made him subconsciously feel something was wrong.
"Well, to be honest, I can't think of anything worse than what I'm doing right now, you know, I'm dealing with that problem and I still don't have a clue..."
"That's it, Frank, you don't need to think about this problem anymore. The young man from China has completely solved this problem. So his original thirty-minute report will be temporarily replaced by an opening report. I even I can’t object because I was the first to support that the geometric Langlands problem should be used as the opening report!”
"What, he has completely solved this problem? He has even received small-scale recognition? So..."
"No more. The reason why this news is bad is because his solution completely bypassed your and Sam's method. In other words, he used a new method to bypass your proof and was able to Completely solve the targeted issues he raised. In other words, you and Sam are destined to be eliminated from this issue."
The old man's voice was actually very calm, probably because he had seen many such things in his more than sixty years of mathematics career.
Mathematicians find an entry point to an important problem and then conduct research on this problem. Most people work hard and rack their brains to contend with the difficult problems that plague the world, but it is obvious that not everyone will succeed.
In a sense, the old man is lucky. He defeated many of his peers and became the leader of this era.
Obviously, Frank wasn't that lucky, that's all.
This kind of thing happens all the time, and no one can completely avoid it as long as he enters the game. Even if he won the Fields Medal and became an honorary academician of many countries, the team he led would still encounter this kind of disappointing situation. Upsetting things.
It's just that things that he doesn't care about are obviously not so easy for Frank to accept.
In fact, since Frank came to this country, everything has been smooth sailing and he has rarely encountered any major setbacks.
There is no doubt that this time was the biggest blow to his academic career. For a moment, he didn't come back to his senses and subconsciously asked a stupid question: "Wait a minute, I don't quite understand, what does "outing" mean? "
"Frank, your question is really stupid. It means literally, but the proof of the geometric Langlands conjecture or the generalization of the Ambidexterity theorem has nothing to do with you anymore. Of course, your team may thank you for your help. efforts on this issue.
For example, on their paper, express gratitude to you and Sam. But that's it. I hope you can cheer up and know that this kind of thing is almost inevitable. If your goals have not changed, then You need to work harder on the next issue.”
The old man replied slightly impatiently.
There is no way, most smart people are very sensitive and disgusted with such stupid questions.
Frank finally woke up from this impatient tone. The sentence "This is not fair" was stuck in his throat and he finally did not say it out. But the huge loss still swept through his mind instantly.
Five whole years... five years... just when he was about to reap the fruits, he was suddenly robbed?! What he couldn't accept the most was that the person who robbed him of the fruits of victory was probably related to him by blood. ?!
However, he obviously couldn't say these words to the old man on the phone at this time. He could only force himself to calm down and replied in a low voice: "I'm sorry, Grandpa, I was too anxious. I think you can understand. One second ago I was still thinking about this problem, and the next second I heard such news, and I didn’t even hear it from Dennis.”
"It's okay, I understand, Frank, you must feel uncomfortable at this time. But there is no way, this is mathematics. By the way, I suggest you contact Qiao Yu more and handle the relationship with him, because even in the Mathematics Union Committee There are also many people who think highly of him.
You should understand that this kind of optimism is not the kind that comes from some complicated reasons, and it has nothing to do with his so-called mentor. It is just because he is only sixteen years old and has many possibilities in the future. You are all Chinese, so you should be able to Some common language.
By the way, Delini met him today and told me that he looks a bit like you when you were young. But you know, that old guy looks like everyone. I don’t think he can tell the difference between Asians at all." Old man His tone began to slow down, and he even made a very American joke, but Frank felt cold sweat break out on his forehead.
For a moment, he didn't even know how to answer this sentence. Should he take the initiative to contact Qiao Yu?
"I understand, thank you, Grandpa."
"Okay, I just want to inform you that there are still some things to deal with next. You should know how troublesome it is to temporarily change the opening speaker. By the way, if you decide to attend this meeting, you can leave now. I can make it in time for the opening report tomorrow morning. I’m hanging up.”
After listening to the busy tone on the phone, Frank was stunned for about three seconds, then turned on the front camera of his phone and looked at his own.
Time is indeed like a fattening agent. His face has gained a lot of weight, and there are not many traces of the prime of life when he was in his teens and twenties. Looking back, when I think about China's youth, ID cards have a very short validity period. It does make sense to change your photos every few years.
After seeing his photos, Frank had already opened his mobile phone and started to book a flight. It was a long way from California to Paris, and he could only choose a direct flight to catch the meeting, but this was Lucas Eisen's suggestion. Although it was only A suggestion, but unless you really can't book a ticket, Frank would be better off taking this suggestion.
Although the old man usually speaks very elegantly, he rarely forces the people around him to do what they want. He will only give some pertinent suggestions sometimes. Of course, you don’t have to listen to these suggestions, and there doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with it. Good things happen.
It's just that the good things in the future will quietly no longer favor those who don't listen to the old man's advice.
Everything happened in silence. The old man is still a big figure in the academic world and has an excellent reputation. Many students regard the old man as their idol. As for some chaotic and noisy sounds...ha, which successful person does not leave behind him?
How many sunspots are there? They are just jealous, slandering, and slandering.
It's quite good. There is a direct United Airlines flight from San Francisco International Airport, which is only half an hour's drive from his home, to Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport, taking off in two hours.
If everything goes well, the plane will arrive at Charles de Gaulle Airport ten and a half hours after takeoff. It will take about an hour to get from Charles de Gaulle Airport to the Monet Hotel. He can even rest for two or three hours before the meeting starts.
"What are you doing?" The wife beside him sat up.
"Grandpa asked me to go to Paris for a meeting. He is in Paris." "Paris? Oh my God, what time is it now?"
"It's just seven o'clock. It should be...well, it's already three o'clock in the afternoon in Paris. There are still eighteen hours before the algebraic geometry conference in Paris starts tomorrow. I have to hurry up." With that, Frank had already crawled out of bed.
stand up.
"Did something bad happen? Frank."
Frank, who was getting dressed, looked at his wife sitting on the bed with a smile and said: "It's nothing, you know, Grandpa is like this. He thinks I need to listen to the opening report tomorrow, and I decided to listen to an old man's advice.
suggestion."
"The next time we have a family dinner, I'm going to tell him that he can't always give embarrassing advice like this."
"Thank you, but it's not necessary, my dear, after all, he is doing it for my own good." With that said, the man leaned down and kissed his wife, and then hurriedly walked into the bathroom...
But what the man was thinking about right now was whether he should let Qiao Yu know that he actually had a father...
Only in private of course.
Because he is not ready to let everyone around him know that he still has a son.
As for the reasons for his wrong judgment, it was mainly based on some coincidences.
After discovering the existence of Qiao Yu, Frank logged into the Chinese Internet and searched for a lot of information about Qiao Yu.
It just so happened that after Qiao Yu was on the hot search, a lot of information that was originally only on Tieyizhong's official account was also put online by interested people.
For example, Qiao Yu's essay was designated as a model essay by the teacher during a mock test.
In that essay, Qiao Yu used delicate words to describe how he and his mother went to the cemetery to worship his father as usual during the Qingming Festival. He expressed his longing and memory for his father, and his feelings were extremely sincere.
Really, Frank was slightly touched at that time... Of course he was also angry.
He believed that Qiao Xi deceived Qiao Yu and told Qiao Yu that he was dead. The woman even set up a monument for him even though she knew he was still alive.
Yes, Frank never thought that there was a last paragraph in that essay, but it was too O. Henry. The teacher was afraid of teaching other students badly, so he deleted it from the official account...
So much so that when he saw Qiao Yu's Weibo saying that his father had left when he was very young, he, like other netizens, thought this sentence meant that he was dead...
You see, many times, information gradually becomes incomplete in the process of dissemination, causing people to have many terrible misunderstandings.
The information on the Internet may not be all false, but the scariest part is that not all of it is false...
Paris, Royal Monet Hotel, Qiao Yu and Schulz chatted happily all afternoon.
He asked some questions and got answers from Professor Schultz, including questions about complete space theory and what Schultz is currently doing. This conversation also opened Qiao Yu's eyes. I learned a lot of first-hand information about Schultz's recent research, that is, specific information about the liquid tensor experiment.
For this project, Schulz proposed the theory of liquid homology.
To put it simply, it is to use the complete space to construct a further highly abstract framework, which involves a large number of highly abstract algebraic and geometric constructions, so that traditional manual verification cannot guarantee its strict correctness. Therefore, liquid tensor experiments must be carried out. Computer-aided formal proofs are used to verify the correctness and consistency of these constructs.
This project interested Qiao Yu, not only because it was very profitable, but also because it opened his eyes to many possibilities. Letting artificial intelligence assist mathematicians in proving mathematical theorems is really too abstract.
However, this project that excited Qiao Yu also had a huge impact on him.
Because what mathematicians need to do in this project is to break down many mathematical theorems and propositions in detail so that the computer can understand them, and at the same time ensure that each step is accurate in the formalization process.
When explaining to Qiao Yu how to do this job, Schulz gave a few examples casually, which made Qiao Yu realize that his basic knowledge of mathematics seemed to be extremely lacking... even at his most recent level. Specialized in the field of algebraic geometry.
Schulz could not believe his lack of basic knowledge.
"This is impossible, Qiao Yu. This is Bourbaki's completeness theorem, which involves the properties of complete objects in algebraic geometry. Haven't you ever been exposed to it?"
"Um... I haven't read that many books in recent times. I just read them selectively... The theorem seems to have nothing to do with the embedding and structure of algebraic varieties, right?" "Oh my God... so you still Have you never studied these systematically and solved the geometric Langlands conjecture?"
"It can't be considered a solution, right? I just changed it..."
