From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

Professor Oleyevich, the chairman of the organizing committee of the conference, first delivered a speech and welcomed all the visitors, and then Carlos Keenig, the chairman of the current International Mathematical Union, delivered a speech.

Carlos Keenig is the new president of IMU. When he walked to the podium, he looked around the mathematicians present and said with a smile: "Friends from afar, welcome to the 2022 International Mathematicians Conference. The scene of the meeting."

"Here, please let me express my sincere greetings to every friend."

"Recalling that in 2019, I was elected as the president of the International Mathematical Union, as if it was still yesterday. In a blink of an eye, the No.20 Ninth International Congress of Mathematicians will be held here."

"Recalling the past four years of the development of the mathematics world, I believe that every friend would like to call it a miraculous four years. In these four years, we have witnessed many things that we thought were impossible to happen in this life. "

"I also hope that in the next four years, more miracles will continue to be reproduced."

"Then, I won't say any more. Next, let's start the most critical part of our opening ceremony."

"Next, start giving out the Gauss Awards."

After Carlos Keenig finished his speech, the meeting immediately entered a climax.

The most important part of every International Congress of Mathematicians is the awards ceremony at the opening ceremony.

The five awards of the International Congress of Mathematicians are the Gauss Award, the Chern Award, the Leelavati Award, the Nevanlinna Award, and the most important Fields Medal.

The Gauss Award is mainly awarded to mathematicians in applied mathematics, and it is also the highest award in the field of applied mathematics, while the Chern Award is a lifetime achievement award, rewarding mathematicians with extremely outstanding contributions, and their achievements need to represent the highest level of mathematical research , the Leelavati Prize is awarded to those who have made great contributions to the promotion of mathematics, and the Nevanlinna Prize is awarded to mathematicians in computer science.

As for the most eye-catching Fields Medal, of course, there is no need to introduce it. There are differences between awards. The Fields Medal is known as the Nobel Prize in mathematics, which undoubtedly represents its heavy weight. .

In this way, after the Gauss Award, the Chern Award and the Leelavati Award were awarded first, the Fields Medal was finally received at this International Congress of Mathematicians.

With a smile on his face, Carlos Keenig sent the winner of the Leelavati Award off the stage, then walked back to the microphone, and looked around the silent venue.

Then, he said with a smile: "Next, it will be the turn of the Fields Medal that everyone has been looking forward to for a long time."

"First of all, let us thank Mr. John Charles Fields. Mr. Fields provided great help for our International Congress of Mathematicians and also brought us the Fields Medal. This is full of Charisma, an award that represents our highest achievement in mathematics."

"And this conference, also inheriting Mr. Fields' wishes, will issue this award to recognize mathematicians who have made outstanding contributions in the past."

"Then, next I will announce the first winner."

Following Kenig's words, the atmosphere in the audience became calm again, as quietly as if a needle could be heard.

Everyone held their breath, quietly waiting for the appearance of the first protagonist of this conference.

And Kenig also spoke slowly.

"He, like the rising sun, sprinkled a large amount of morning light on the mathematics world as soon as he came out. His excellent research on number theory is amazing, especially his sense of prime numbers, like the god of wisdom reappearing." Shining—From the infinity of the Fibonacci sequence of primes to the distribution of Mersenne primes, he once took off the two brightest jewels in the crown of number theory, for Hilbert 120 years ago The question of the eighth century that was asked brought two-thirds of the answer."

"Number theory is a game for geniuses, and this genius showed what kind of talent is needed in number theory to play this game."

"And this genius is not limited to this game, he has also peeked into the field of algebraic geometry, and put forward a conjecture named after himself, and then ended the conjecture himself, once again for the unity of mathematics made a huge contribution."

"At the same time, he also played the role of mathematics, the language of God, and as a mathematician, he made great contributions to the fields of physics, materials science, and chemistry."

"So, if someone asks me who has the chance to solve the Riemann Hypothesis in this century, then I will definitely answer, yes—"

"Lin Xiao!"

"Congratulations to Professor Lin Xiao, who won the first Fields Medal at this International Congress of Mathematicians!"

Chapter 293 Second Report

"Congratulations to Professor Lin Xiao, who won the first Fields Medal at this International Congress of Mathematicians!"

After Kenig announced the name, the audience suddenly burst into applause.

No one among the mathematicians present had any doubts about this winner.

If Lin Xiao did not receive the Fields Medal, then all of them would probably question the fairness of the Fields Medal.

Even, even the winners feel embarrassed to accept the prize.

In the applause of the audience, Kenig also said with a smile: "Then, let's invite Lin Xiaojiao to come on stage to accept the award."

Immediately, everyone turned their eyes to the field, looking for that young figure.

At the same time, all the media reporters in the venue were also looking for this figure.

Among them, CCTV reporters were also included.

As a country with a strong sense of collective honor, Huaguo, these reporters who came from afar from Huaguo, were also excited for Lin Xiao's award.

This is the first Chinese national who has won such a top mathematics award in the world as a Chinese nationality!

And he is still such an amazing genius, just like the award speech given by Carlos Keenig, the chairman of the International Mathematical Union, Lin Xiao's talent is so strong.

Reporter Zeng Xin patted the cameraman next to him and said, "Old Zhao, you must take a picture of the whole process, and you will definitely need it when you go back."

Old Zhao patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I used to work on the football field. I can keep up with football, let alone people."

Zeng Xin smiled, then turned around, called the leaders of their CCTV, and conveyed the good news: "Director Zhang, Professor Lin really won the Fields Medal!"

He believes that after this news is passed back, it will definitely bring surprises to the country.

……

And when the audience was shocked by the first winner, Lin Xiao, who was sitting in his seat, couldn't help feeling a sense of turmoil in his heart.

The Fields Medal, the highest award in mathematics, the Nobel Prize in mathematics, and to a certain extent, the difficulty of obtaining the Fields Medal is even higher than the Nobel Prize. After all, the limit is only under the age of 40 , already limits the difficulty of winning the Fields Medal to a very high level, not to mention the difficulty in the field of mathematics.

As for Lin Xiao, his love for mathematics is needless to say. Even before he got the system, his mathematics scores were also among the best in the class, not to mention that now, he has used mathematics to solve many problems. How much do you know.

Therefore, winning the Fields Medal is a kind of fruition of all past achievements for him.

Of course, the strong brain development speed allowed him to quickly control the excitement in his heart, and then, in the eyes of everyone, he finally stood up from his seat.

Finally, the people at the scene also found their target, and all cast their eyes on it, and the applause in their hands was even louder.

Mathematicians who have never won the Fields Medal cast envious glances at him. Lin Xiao won this award that they coveted without any dispute, and many of them are already stuck in their 40s At this hurdle, they can only hope that they will be included in the next quota, otherwise, they will forever miss this honor that is enough to commemorate a lifetime.

And those mathematics lovers cast admiration and admiration on Lin Xiao. Everyone has the psychology of worshiping the strong, so Lin Xiao undoubtedly belongs to such a strong person, and most of these mathematics lovers belong to young people , who is also a student at school, for people like Lin Xiao who are almost the same age as them, because the gap is too big, they can't be jealous, so naturally they respect them even more.

And Lin Xiao, under all kinds of gazes, walked to the rostrum.

"Congratulations, young math genius."

Carlos Keenig smiled and congratulated Lin Xiao when he saw Lin Xiao coming up.

"Thank you."

Lin Xiao responded with a smile.

Carlos Keenig nodded with a smile, then picked up a golden medal from a tray next to him, and said to Lin Xiao: "Then, this is your medal, this is a great award. Honor, even I am very eager, unfortunately I am already 70 years old - but, I believe that awarding the Fields Medal to you is actually an honor of the Fields Medal, there is no mathematics award, you can Rejecting a mathematician who solves the twin prime conjecture and Goldbach's conjecture."

"As I said in my opening speech, the four years in the mathematics world have been full of miracles, and these miracles were realized based on your achievements."

"Mathematics community, glad to have you."

"Mathematics, I'm also lucky to have you."

Carlos Keenig, already 70 years old, was full of sincerity in his words, which moved Lin Xiao also.

"Thank you." He thanked again.

Carlos Keenig smiled, then picked up the ribbon on the medal, and motioned for Lin Xiao to wear it for him.

Lin Xiao understood, and then lowered his head slightly, letting Carlos Keenig wear this light but meaningful medal for him.

Afterwards, he picked up the medal and looked it up.

The medal was designed by Canadian sculptor Robert Tate MacKenzie.According to Fields' idea, Latin and Greek were used to show the international nature of the medal.On the front is the head of the ancient Greek scientist Archimedes on the right side.The Greek word "ΑΡΧΙΜΗΔΟΥΣ" is engraved next to the head, which means "Archimedes' (head)". In addition, there is a Latin word on the circular edge of the medal, which means "beyond his (Archimedes) mind, Take control of the world".

Another string of Latin words is engraved on the back of the medal, which means "Mathematicians gathered from all over the world, awarded (awards) for outstanding works".In the front of the background are laurel branches, which were woven by ancient Greece and Rome as laurel crowns for the victors to wear; the rear is a cylindrical inscribed sphere, which is the most satisfactory result of Archimedes, and ordered to be engraved on his tombstone.

The names of the winners are also engraved on the edge of the back.

The entire medal is delicate and beautiful.

"How?" Carlos Keenig asked with a smile when he saw Lin Xiao's movements.

"very good."

Lin Xiao smiled slightly, then put the medal on his chest, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Kenig, I will secretly reveal a piece of news to you. Soon, there will be a new miracle."

Carlos Keenig was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Then I'll be looking forward to it."

Lin Xiao nodded with a smile, and then, he didn't stay any longer, and walked off the stage to the applause of the audience again.

And then, the award ceremony continued. Except for Lin Xiao, the unsuspecting winner, the rest of the awards were full of suspense, so those who were lucky enough to win the award cheered in their hearts, while those who did not get the award People can only lament in their hearts, if they don’t get it this time, then they probably won’t get it for the rest of their lives.

But in any case, the award ceremony of the Fields Medal is over, there is no extra quota to make up for those wounded hearts, and the next part is the award ceremony of the Newanglinna Award. After the award, the opening ceremony, It was completely over.

People started to leave, and Lin Xiao also left as soon as possible.

Before the mystery of Hodge's conjecture is fully revealed, he will definitely not place himself among a group of mathematicians who have no place to vent their anger because of being broken.

In addition, the arrangement of Fields' lecture was also arranged, and his lecture was arranged on the fourth day.

In other words, after he gave his one-hour report tomorrow, he will formally show the world the process of Hodge's conjecture evolving from a conjecture to a theorem the next day.

As he said to Carlos Keenig, soon, he will "sing" another song to the mathematics world, and the miracle will reappear.

Of course, it wasn't just him who was looking forward to, but also the group of mathematicians who had been run away by him many times.

These mathematicians have already made preparations. As long as Lin Xiao doesn't give them a satisfactory answer, they will definitely let Lin Xiao, a young man, know the consequences of cheating and attacking them old mathematicians without talking about martial arts. .

……

One day passed quickly.

July 7th, if it is the lunar calendar, then this day is Qixi Festival, but it is obviously calculated according to the solar calendar, so this day is still unremarkable.

However, for mathematicians who participated in the International Congress of Mathematicians, today is the first day of the one-hour plenary session of this conference.

Especially the second session this morning is the one-hour report by Lin Xiao, the winner of this year's Fields Medal.

Many people have already read his report, and the new motivation theory mentioned in it, as well as the integral Hodge conjecture, made them very interested. However, Lin Xiao's hateful dissection at the end made every reader They all hate it.

Because of this, more people are looking forward to his report.

Everyone really wanted to know how Lin Xiao would explain his fragments.

第一场报告于上午10点15分开始，11点15分结束，而林晓的报告，则于11点30分开始。

At 11:25, the venue was full of people. More than 2000 participants were quietly waiting for Lin Xiao to appear.

until 11:30.

Lin Xiao, who just got on the podium yesterday and won the Fields Medal, appeared on the same podium again.

With a smile on his face, he looked at the more than 2000 audience present and bowed slightly.

"Hello, friends, welcome to my report."

"As you can see, the topic of my report is "A New Motive Cohomology and Integral Hodge Conjecture". Then, in this report, I will start with my Lin's theorem and carefully analyze my new At the same time, starting from the integral Hodge conjecture, we will reveal the mysteries from topology to algebra.”

"So, without further ado, let's begin."

"..."

Chapter 294 I already have a wonderful method, but I don't have enough time

"Lin's theorem draws an equal sign between the two forms of function and layer, so that in the form of mathematics, the most basic concept of function in mathematics is connected with layers in topological spaces."

"Hodge's conjecture, on the other hand, forms a channel between geometric topology and algebra, so that those geometric shapes that we thought were extremely abstract before can be directly expressed in a polynomial way."

"There is something in common between the two, as I mentioned in my paper proving Lin's theorem."

"Then, let me start with Lin's theorem, from functions to topological spaces, and then to polynomials, and introduce my report today."

After Lin Xiao finished speaking, the following PPT also turned a page.

"Let X be a topological space and C be a category. The prelevel of an object in C on space X is given by:"

[For each open set in X, given an object F(U) in C]

[For each inclusion relationship between open sets V is included in U, a morphism resU in a given category C, V: F(U)→F(V)]

……

As Lin Xiao's narration began, the people present also listened carefully, especially those mathematicians who wanted to see what kind of medicine was sold in Lin Xiao's gourd, they listened very carefully.

Who knew that there was extremely important information hidden in a certain sentence of Lin Xiao?

The mathematicians present couldn't wait any longer, so that when Lin Xiao started to talk, no one discussed what Lin Xiao said, and they all listened carefully.

In this way, time passed quickly, and Lin Xiao's report gradually entered the final part.
