I just want to be a quiet scholar

Chapter 358

Academician Pan was particularly surprised: "The goods are ready so soon? What I want is the manuscript of Einstein's "The Universe in My Eyes"!"

Academician Pan has a certain awareness of anti-reconnaissance. Shen Qi followed Academician Pan's words and said: "It is said that the manuscript of Einstein's review article has long been lost. I have spent a lot of effort to get it from an American friend. Gödel's German translation."

"So the goods you call are actually Gödel's manuscripts?" Academician Pan asked.

Shen Qi asked back: "Come on, Academician Pan, I'll ask you, do you want it or not? Where can I get Einstein's manuscript these days?"

Academician Pan hurriedly said: "Gödel is Gödel, I want it! Don't dare to trouble our Philippine award winner to deliver the goods to your door. I have a student who happens to be on a business trip in the United States. I will let him visit you at PSU. Just hand over Gödel’s German version manuscript to him. Thank you, Shen Qi, collecting manuscripts of famous physicists is my hobby, thank you for helping me fulfill my wish. I won’t say much, I will always remember it Hello."

The next day, a Chinese physics researcher came to Princeton. He was a student of Academician Pan and was on a business trip to the United States for a project.

The handover of the goods was very smooth. A Chinese professor handed over a document bag to a Chinese researcher on a business trip to the United States. The usual operation did not attract any attention.

"Professor Shen, I thank you on behalf of Academician Pan." The researcher shook hands with Shen Qi, with a calm expression and agitated heart, which could be felt from the strength of his handshake.

Shen Qi smiled and said: "Yan Gong, help me to give Academician Pan a word, I look forward to Academician Pan can break the world record again in the quantum field, so that the Chinese team can firmly sit on the throne of the world's number one."

"Don't worry, I will definitely bring this word."

"Take care and have a safe trip."

"Take care too, Professor Shen."

Yan Gong and Shen Qi met in just a few minutes and left without saying anything.

Before the Christmas holiday, all the professors of the Princeton Department of Mathematics held a meeting to summarize the achievements and shortcomings of this year and look forward to the coming year.

Shen Qi ranked seventh in the whole department in the professor's professional assessment this year, a step backward compared to the same period last year.

"I really didn't produce much results in mathematics this year." Shen Qi made a deep self-criticism. He didn't write a monograph on mathematics this year, and he didn't complete a mathematics paper as the first author.

Yu Lei and Ralph published two papers under the guidance of Shen Qi, which were published in the four major mathematics journals. This is the only official research result of Shen Qi this year, and the research result completed as a tutor.

"Qi, you are busy with physics, and human energy is limited after all." Director Fefferman said, all colleagues in the department knew that Shen Qi was keen on earthquake prediction in the first half of this year, which consumed Shen Qi a lot of time and energy.

When Shen Qi was 20 years old, he came to Pudong University to study in graduate school. The dean of the Department of Mathematics at that time was Charles Fefferman.

Shen Qi will be 25 years old next month, and Fefferman is still the head of the mathematics department.

"My energy is also limited. Next year, the term of my second dean of the mathematics department will end. Hey, I am 70 years old. Should you find someone to replace me?" Dean Fefferman looked around, feeling tired.

The unwritten rule of the Department of Mathematics at Pudong University is that the dean of the mathematics department changes every three years, and everyone takes turns to be the dean.

The top leaders of Chinese universities almost have absolute power. This is not the case in the United States, and it is even more not the case in Princeton. The president of Princeton is a history professor. He also has to teach undergraduates. If he does not teach well, he will be scolded.

The power of the head of the Department of Mathematics of Pudong University has some powers, and more of them are of the nature of serving the people.

After Fefferman's first term as the head of the Department of Mathematics ended, all the full professors in the department suggested that Fefferman be re-elected as the head of the department.

A few years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the term of Fefferman's second department chair will end next year. The former math prodigy, now a [-]-year-old man, Fefferman, doesn't want to do it anymore. Being a leader in the United States is meaningless.

"Charles, no one in the Department of Mathematics at Princeton is more prestigious than you. I think you can be the head of the department for another term." Professor Linden Strauss suggested.

Fefferman exploded immediately: "Three years later and three years later, three years later and three years later!"

puff~
Shen Qi was so happy that he almost spit out a mouthful of coffee.

Fefferman looked at Shen Qi: "Qi, you will be the next dean."

Shen Qi waved his hands and said, "Charles, this is not appropriate, I am too young."

Including Fefferman, all the mathematics professors present here are smart people with superior IQ. Fefferman said regretfully: "Odd, so you will still leave Princeton one day."

"Huh..." Shen Qi sighed softly, noncommittal.He has been in the Mathematics Department of Pudong University for almost 5 years, and the people here are very kind to him. If there is a pure land in the United States, for Shen Qi, this pure land is the Princeton Mathematics Department.

Shen Qi said sincerely: "I have spent more time studying and working in Princeton than in China. No matter what, I love Princeton, which prospers because of the power of God."

"She prospered through the power of God," said Filipino-American laureate Fefferman.
"She prospered through the power of God," said Faltings, a German Filipino award winner.

"She prospered through the power of God," said Israeli-Philippine laureate Linden Strauss.

More than half of the professors in the Department of Mathematics of Pudong University are non-American. Historical data shows that the professors of Mathematics University of Pudong University who did not join the American nationality returned to their home countries in the end.

Some things cannot be forced. Fefferman said to Shen Qi: "Qi, thank you for your contribution to Princeton in the past five years. No matter where you go, you will always be the best alumni of Princeton. I want to thank you A small request, about the proof of Hodge's conjecture, I hope you can complete it as a professor of mathematics at Princeton."

"I can promise you this, Charles." Shen Qi immediately agreed, and Hodge guessed that it was his gift to China, and perhaps the last gift to Princeton.

After the meeting of the professors, Shen Qi, Yu Lei and Ralph discussed the progress of Hodge's conjecture in algebraic geometry.

"The progress is going well. Yu Lei and Ralph have worked hard. Enjoy the upcoming Christmas holiday. After the holiday is over, we will launch a general attack on this subject!" Shen Qi is satisfied with the attitude of the two doctoral students to actively overcome the problem.

In China, Shen Qi called Yanda Lu Guozhen and Director Wu of the Morningside Mathematics Center.

Shen Qi learned that the relevant national ministries and commissions attach great importance to the two basic mathematics projects led by him.

Lu Guozhen's Hodge Conjecture mathematical analysis section and Director Wu's topology section all applied to the 973 project, and the two projects were approved separately.
