Chapter 460 Full Professor

463 chapter

Cray Institute of Mathematics.

The vice president of the institute, a white-haired old man with a big beard, also approached Cheng Nuo.

This time, Cheng Nuo was alone in the office, checking his cell phone. Seeing the vice president knocking on the door, he politely invited him in.

The vice president looked at the layout of Cheng Nuo's office with a smile, sat on the sofa at one side, and said slowly, "Mr. Cheng Nuo, I am here this time to discuss with you about Gu Shanzhi's conjecture. things."

Cheng Nuo poured a glass of water for the vice president, "President, please speak."

The vice-president was silent for a few seconds and said in a calm tone, "Now, Cheng's recirculation conjecture has been proven. I remember Mr. Cheng Nuo mentioned it at the last progress report meeting. Once the Cheng's recirculation conjecture is confirmed, It proves that Taniyama Shimura’s conjecture is not a problem, I don’t know…”

"Chairman, don't worry." Cheng Nuo raised his hand, "As long as Frey's proposition is used on the basis of Cheng's complex ring conjecture, Gushan Shimura's conjecture will be self-defeating."

"My two team members and I are also hurrying up to write a proof paper on Taniyama Shimura's conjecture, and it is estimated that it will be completed within three days."

"That's good, that's good." The vice president stroked his beard and breathed a sigh of relief.

So far, the cleaning plan has been going on for half a year, but none of the eight conjectures have been resolved.

This caused many voices of doubt from the outside world, and at the same time had a considerable impact on the prestige of the Clay Institute of Mathematics.

But it's fine now.

Taniyama Shimura's conjecture is about to be proved!
In addition, the appearance of Cheng's complex ring theorem is somewhat related to their Clay Institute of Mathematics.

After the paper proving Taniyama Shimura's conjecture is released, the doubts from the outside world will probably disappear.

After all, whether it is Gushan Shimura's conjecture or Cheng's double-loop conjecture, in terms of importance, it is no less important than the Jacobi conjecture that has made a lot of noise in the front-end time geometry circle.

Thinking of this, the vice president couldn't help turning his head and glanced at Cheng Nuo beside him.

And then realized a horrible truth...

Whether it was Jacobi's conjecture, Cheng's recirculation conjecture, or Gushan Shimura's conjecture, all of them had a great relationship with the young man beside him.

Or, to put it another way.

These three conjectures were all proved by Cheng Nuo.

Although the status is respected, but being alone with a monster like Cheng Nuo, the vice president said that there is still a little pressure.

So after a brief chat with Cheng Nuo, the vice president left on the grounds that he still had something to do.

…………

time flies.

Three days later, when most people hadn't recovered from the successful proof of Cheng's complex loop conjecture, another blockbuster was dropped on the already turbulent geometry world.

A paper with only seven pages titled "Proof of Taniyama Shimura's Conjecture by Cheng's Complex Ring Theorem" was uploaded to arxiv.

And the first author of the paper was still the familiar name - Cheng Nuo!
Almost on the same day, seven or eight figures in the geometry field, including Professor Fresnel, tweeted at the same time, publicly stating that Cheng Nuo proved the correctness of the paper.

crazy!

Many people don't know whether he is crazy or the world is crazy!
Within three days, two consecutive world-class conjectures were proved!

What’s even crazier is that the prover of these two conjectures is the same person!

Cheng Nuo, that rising star in the mathematics world.

Everyone thought that this new star would take at least four or five years to reach the same position as them.

It's only been half a year...

It seemed that at the moment when they were not paying attention, Cheng Nuo rose to a height that they could only look up to.

Here, there is no place to reason!
…………

In the mathematical world, the solutions to the two major conjectures are still being fermented.

The protagonist of the incident, however, has returned to MIT by plane in a low-key manner.

The time is already April of 2024.

Walking on the road, Cheng Nuo could already feel the spring atmosphere.

However, Cheng Nuo didn't appreciate the charming environment for a long time. After receiving the news of Cheng Nuo's return to school, everyone in the school called Cheng Nuo to an office.

The person who received Cheng Nuo was the deputy dean of the School of Mathematics, an older generation of mathematicians.

In addition to this big boss, there are also several other powerful leaders of the college sitting in the office of the vice president.

"Professor Cheng, in view of your significant contribution to the Clay Institute of Mathematics this time, solving the two world-class conjectures of Taniyama Shimura Conjecture and Cheng's Complex Ring Conjecture, after evaluation, our school has decided to award you the title of full professor! "The vice president looked serious.

Cheng Nuo was also surprised and delighted.

Professor!
Although he didn't stay at MIT for a long time, Cheng Nuo also knew the importance of the title of full professor.

The world's top universities like MIT are quite strict in conferring the title of full professor.

Generally in those ordinary universities, even if the academic level is limited, as long as the qualifications are obtained, those associate professors will still be awarded the title of full professor when they reach a certain age.

But that doesn't work at MIT.

Take the full professor of the School of Mathematics as an example, basically, a national award plus two SCI area [-] papers are the minimum requirements.

Of course, Cheng Nuo was satisfied with this condition alone, but in terms of qualifications, Cheng Nuo thought he would have to wait a year or so.

Unexpectedly, the school would act so decisively, and finalized the matter directly after receiving the news that Cheng Nuo had proved the two conjectures.

Full professors, although rare at MIT, are not uncommon.

But an associate professor as young as Cheng Nuo is very rare!
Because it was agreed in advance, Cheng Nuo will teach this semester.

Therefore, basically in every class, the classroom is full of students who want to pay their respects to the figure of the youngest full professor in the history of MIT.

Cheng Nuo could only smile wryly.

…………

After Cheng Nuo returned to MIT, he fell silent again.

Cheng Nuo was not a showy person, and ignored all discussions outside.

Therefore, apart from the two classes a week, Cheng Nuo either stayed in the library or stayed in Professor Fresnel's office in the laboratory building.

However, there are some people who are still not busy enough.

In mid-April, the Clay Mathematics Institute announced the nomination list for the 4 Clay Mathematical Sciences Prize, and Cheng Nuo's name was prominently on the list.

The staff of the Clay Institute of Mathematics also contacted Cheng Nuo immediately, saying that Cheng Nuo must go to participate, otherwise it will not end well. up.

Fortunately, Cheng Nuo had no class on the day of the award, so he agreed.

The Cray Mathematical Sciences Award, as you can tell from the name, is an award sponsored by the Cray Mathematical Institute.

There is a big gap between Cheng Nuo and the Veblen Award that Cheng Nuo won some time ago.

But no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. After all, if you want to finally win the Fields Medal, you must have at least many awards in front of you.

This is also an unwritten rule.

Unless, directly prove one of the seven mathematical conjectures!
