Chapter 479 Reviewer's Work
482 chapter

Cheng's false discovery made Zhang Wei's work progress several times faster.

A week later, Cheng Nuo and Zhang Wei completed the second piece of the puzzle to prove the BSD conjecture.

Progress 2/3.

The BSD conjecture is completely proved, and there is only the last piece of the puzzle - the Abelian cluster!
It is also the most difficult piece of the three puzzles.

The first two pieces of the puzzle, that is, the elliptic curve and the Modal commutative group, are only difficult to deduce, but they are not complicated.

But the Abelian cluster is different, not only is it quite difficult, but also the amount of calculation required is extremely complex.

This requires a lot of hard work.

Cheng Nuo knew that haste makes waste, so he was not too anxious.

Cheng Nuo was quite satisfied with the current progress.

Originally, Cheng Nuo estimated that the research cycle would take at least two years, but now it seems that the proof of the BSD conjecture can be completed in perhaps more than a year.

Cheng Nuo's life returned to its usual routine.

In early June, Zhang Minghua was the first to submit his doctoral thesis to Cheng Nuo.

Zhang Minghua originally studied algebraic geometry.

I don't know if it was to please him deliberately, but the topic of Zhang Minghua's graduation thesis research was the two major problems of the minimal model program proposed by Cheng Nuo last year.

Since the two major problems of the minimal model program were solved by Cheng Nuo last year, papers in this direction have exploded in just one year.

Regardless of Zhang Minghua's purpose, the quality of the thesis is still acceptable, enough to meet the requirements of a doctoral dissertation.

Cheng Nuo briefly wrote a revision opinion and asked Zhang Minghua to take it back for minor repairs.

And Fan Yi also gave Cheng Nuo the finished graduation thesis a few days later.

Cheng Nuo guided the two students to refine their papers several times, and suggested that they submit their papers to SCI journals for publication.

Tsinghua Department of Mathematics has a mandatory requirement for doctoral graduation, that is, must publish two or more papers in SCI journals in the second area.

It is not that Zhang Minghua and Fan Yi have written SCI papers before, but most of them are from the third and fourth districts.

However, Cheng Nuo guided them during the writing process of the graduation thesis. After finishing writing, Cheng Nuo helped them refine it a few times, and they had already reached the level of SCI papers in the second district.

The paper Cheng Nuo has a corresponding author, with his name, and the quality of the paper itself, unless the review editor's brain is short-circuited, otherwise there is no possibility of rejection, at most it will be revised a few times.

The writing of the doctoral dissertation that Cheng Nuo said was completed within one year was completed ahead of schedule by Zhang Minghua and the other two.

Sure enough, people were forced out!

More than half a year ago, when Cheng Nuo proposed this task, the two of them still looked hesitant, thinking that it was impossible for them to complete it, but now, what is the result?

Not only did they finish, but they were ahead of schedule.

As promised, Cheng Nuo asked the two to choose a path for the next two years.

The reason why Zhang Minghua stayed was within Cheng Nuo's expectations. After all, this kid seemed to be planning to stick to him for the rest of his life.

But to Cheng Nuo's surprise, Fan Yi also chose to stay in China.

Cheng Nuo knew that when Fan Yi was an undergraduate student, he planned to go abroad for further study, but he didn't get an offer from Princeton, so he had to give up.

With Cheng Nuo's current energy, it would be no problem for him to arrange Fan Yi into the Institute of Advanced Mathematics at Princeton University.

"Fan Yi, have you really decided?"

"Professor, I've decided!" Fan Yi's eyes were firm.

Cheng Nuo showed a satisfied smile, "Since you both choose to stay in school, I respect your opinions."

"Next, I'm going to arrange the next stage of tasks for you, so listen carefully."

These two were his first batch of students in the true sense, and Cheng Nuo naturally wanted to train them with all his strength.

As for the next phase of the research project between the two, Cheng Nuo had already made preparations.

Cheng's virtual point is a good choice.

"Cheng's hypocrisy? Professor, what is this?" Fan Yi asked puzzled.

Cheng Nuo smiled mysteriously, "This is the result of my research some time ago."

Cheng Nuo handed one of the two documents to each of them.

"It contains all the content about Cheng's virtual point. After you go back, you can understand the content inside. I will tell you the specific research content in three days."

"Remember. The content in this document is very important. Don't spread it outside, and try to avoid being seen by others." Cheng Nuo looked serious.

Seeing Cheng Nuo's serious expression, the two nodded repeatedly in agreement.

On the way back, Zhang Minghua and Fan Yi communicated quietly.

"Fan Yi, what do you think is in the document that the professor gave us, and what is the Cheng's false point?"

"I don't know, but it should be something very important. As for Cheng's false point, I have never heard of this term."

"Hey, don't worry about this anymore, just go back and see if it's right."

Half an hour later, in the WeChat group chat.

Zhang Minghua: "Professor, my admiration for you is like a torrential river, endless, and like a flood of the Yellow River, out of control! In this life, you are my only idol for Zhang Minghua! @chengnuo"

Fan Yi: "I've also read the contents of the document, and I can only say that I don't understand the world of the boss!"

…………

A few days later, Cheng Nuo just finished talking with the two students and decided on a follow-up research topic on "Cheng's Virtual Point".

Sitting back on the office chair, Cheng Nuo found that he had received an unread email.

The email was sent by the editor-in-chief of an academic journal abroad.

The name of the journal is "Progress in Theoretical Mathematics", headquartered in Sweden, with an impact factor of 10.54, and it is also in a relatively high position among SCI journals in the first area of ​​mathematics.

The content of the email is also very direct.

Editor-in-Chief Mechel sincerely invited Cheng Nuo to serve as a reviewer for Advances in Theoretical Mathematics.

This is international practice.

Some well-known mathematics journals will invite some big cows in the mathematics world to serve as reviewers.

In this way, it is not only beneficial to improve the academic status of Daniel himself, but also facilitates the selection of excellent journals by magazines, which can be said to be a win-win situation.

Usually, whether an academic paper submitted to a journal is approved or not depends on the opinions of three review editors.

Once Cheng Nuo became one of the review editors of "Advances in Theoretical Mathematics", he would have a great say.

This right to speak is not only useful domestically, but also plays a huge role internationally.

Therefore, it can be seen that many bigwigs serve as reviewers for many academic journals at the same time.

Cheng Nuo couldn't find any reason to refuse this invitation.

International journals like "Advances in Theoretical Mathematics" have multiple reviewers, so Cheng Nuo's workload will not be too heavy.

On the same day, Cheng Nuo replied to the email from Editor-in-Chief Machel, expressing his acceptance of the reviewing editor's invitation.

Academician Ding also learned immediately that Cheng Nuo had become a reviewer for "Advances in Theoretical Mathematics".

Tsinghua Mathematics Institute is not without someone who serves as review editor for SCI journals, but most of them are journals in the third and fourth districts.

It is indeed rare for Cheng Nuo to directly become a review editor for a medium-sized SCI journal in the first district, and it also means an advantage.

With Cheng Nuo, it will be more or less convenient to submit papers to "Advances in Theoretical Mathematics" in the future.
