Scholar's Cultivation System Panel

"It's just incredible, it's hard to imagine that this paper was written by a single person."

Deligne sighed from the bottom of his heart, being able to independently write the content of a thesis at this age, even if Hodge's conjecture cannot be proved in the end, is enough to occupy a pivotal position in the mathematics world.

We must know that most academic research is often carried out by teams or institutions.

It is still difficult to make significant progress in mathematics.

It happened that a young man from Huaguo did it, and he did it to this extent.

Can only be said to be a real genius.

He has been working in mathematics for so many years, and has seen many geniuses, it can be said that he can't count them with two hands.

But compared with the author of the current paper, those geniuses seem to have become ordinary people again.

At this time, Witten, a professor of mathematical physics at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, who was wearing a pair of oval-rimmed glasses, also raised his eyes and looked at Hofer on the sofa to express his opinion.

"I am not surprised that the world's mathematical problems are proved by young people. After all, the thinking of us old guys has been imprisoned."

"It's very difficult to break out of the constraints of the existing mathematical framework."

"Otherwise, after so many years, the Poincaré conjecture will not be the only one that has been successfully proved."

"Don't forget that Perelman, who has faded out of public view, is a mathematical hermit who is incompatible with the mathematics world."

Witten’s words made everyone fall into memories. The Poincaré conjecture was proved to have caused a huge sensation in the mathematics world, but the relevant papers were initially posted on the website by Perelman, and rejected the Fidelity Award issued by the International Mathematical Union. Ertz Award and prize money. Now he has completely faded out of the mathematics world and has become a genuine mathematical hermit.

"If Hodge's conjecture can be proved, this will be another grand occasion for the mathematics community after the Poincaré conjecture."

Listening to the conversation of several people, Professor Feffman finally couldn't bear the excitement in his heart and stood up.

Speaking impassionedly.

"This is equivalent to opening the wormhole channel between algebraic geometry and topology, two seemingly unrelated fields, so that mathematics can unify these two fields to a certain extent for the first time."

Before Hofer called these professors, he was excited and nervous about this paper.

I hope it can really prove Hodge's conjecture, but I am afraid that it will be an empty joy in the end.

But now seeing that everyone, including Professor Deligne, has a very high evaluation of this paper, the excitement undoubtedly greatly outweighs the anxiety.

Thinking that the Annals of Mathematics can publish this paper, it will undoubtedly establish its position as the top four journals in the mathematics world.

However, mathematical research is rigorous after all, and it may be overturned before the official results come out.

As the person in charge of the Annals of Mathematics, he is naturally aware of this.

Therefore, he had no choice but to hold back the excitement in his heart for the time being, and asked Professor Deligne again with great respect.

"Professor Deligne, can Hodge's conjecture be proven?"

"I need some time." Deligne paused for a few seconds and gave such an answer in a deep voice.

After speaking, he got up and left.

Obviously he has been attracted by the content of the thesis, and he wants to lock himself in the room to demonstrate the proof process.

But when he reached the door, he stopped suddenly, turned around and Hofer added.

"Whether Hodge's conjecture can be proved or not, it is an honor for the Annals of Mathematics to publish this paper."

"I see." Hofer nodded excitedly.

...

At the beginning of October, under the review of the competition area organizing committee, each competition area began to announce the list of winning teams.

This time is undoubtedly the most exciting and impatient for the students participating in the competition for the first time.

Although under normal circumstances, as long as you upload the complete solution process and thesis within the specified time, you will receive corresponding awards and certificates, but there is still a difference between the provincial first prize and the provincial second prize.

"The list of winners in our competition area will be announced today. Has Zhou Qi's result come out?"

On October 11, 2016, Zhao Yuefeng in the men's dormitory suddenly thought of something and suddenly sat up from the bed, and turned his gaze to Zhou Qi at the desk to ask.

Although he and Qian Yudong did not participate in the competition, it was after all related to the honor of the entire dormitory.

He paid more attention to others during this time.

Zhou Qi by the desk was staring at the computer screen engrossed. When Zhao Yuefeng's voice came from beside his ear, he quickly answered the last sentence without turning his head.

"If there is no delay, according to the notice, the official website will publish the list of winners soon."

"Is it going to be announced soon? I want to see it." Hearing that the result was about to come out, Zhao Yuefeng immediately became interested and quickly got off the bed.

As the head of the house, Qian Yudong also temporarily stopped his game after listening to the conversation between the two, got up and walked towards Zhou Qi.

"Whether you can get two meals or not depends on this." He said softly with a smile on his face.

He definitely hoped that both Xu Yun and Zhou Qi could win awards, so that besides being able to eat two meals for free, it would also be face-saving to talk about it when they meet a schoolgirl in the future, at least there would be no moisture in their words.

Everyone is well aware of Xu Yun's strength, participating in this level of competition can win prizes with normal performance and closed eyes.

So what Qian Yudong was most worried about was Zhou Qi, who didn't know how his group was going to be.

Just as the three of them gathered in front of the computer screen, waiting for the official list of winners to be announced, Zhao Yuefeng noticed that Xu Yun behind him was still reading and studying textbooks with a calm expression, and was not attracted by the list of winners. I couldn't help but ask a lot.

"Xu Yun, don't you plan to see the list of winners, it will be released in two minutes."

Before Xu Yun could answer, Qian Yudong, who was next to him, was the first to add a sentence.

"It is not easy to win the award with Xu Yun's strength, and there is no need to keep the list of winners announced."

"That's true." Zhao Yuefeng nodded in agreement with Qian Yudong's words.

During the half month, Xu Yun basically studied the textbooks borrowed from the library, including mathematics, physics and some elective courses.

For him, no matter whether he has won an award or what award he has won, Professor He will definitely notify him as soon as possible.

There is really no need to stick to the official list of winners.

Soon accompanied by Zhao Yuefeng's surprised voice, it immediately attracted the eyes of the other two.

"The list is out, take a look."

After Zhou Qi refreshed the official website page again, a few more pages of lists immediately appeared on the originally blank page.

It is the list of winners of the 2016 National Undergraduate Mathematical Contest in Modeling.

Without Zhou Qi's reminder, Qian Yudong and Zhao Yuefeng, who had widened their eyes, quickly searched the list.

Within two seconds, Zhou Qi's name and his other two teammates, Zhang Xiaoyuan and Liu Xinning, were found under the provincial first prize.

"Hold the grass."

"Zhou Qi, you kid can do it, and you actually won a provincial first prize."

"We must treat you tonight."

After confirming the meal, Qian Yudong looked very happy, and reached out to pat Zhou Qi on the shoulder to be happy for him.

In fact, Zhou Qi did not have much confidence in his own modeling. After all, the B question of the competition was not very simple.

Worried that he would hold back the team, he has been quite nervous for more than half a month.

So I stayed in front of the computer early today, just wanting to confirm the result as soon as possible.

Fortunately, it turned out that his worries were completely unnecessary, and their team successfully won the provincial first prize.

"I'm also a little surprised by this ranking. You can order whatever you want for dinner." After answering Qian Yudong with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he quickly picked up his mobile phone to take a photo of the list and put it in the group group.

And Zhang Xiaoyuan and Liu Xinning were obviously also paying attention. As soon as the picture was successfully sent, a message from the two popped up in the chat window.

"Thank you two big guys for taking me flying." Liu Xinning added a shy expression.

Zhang Xiaoyuan expressed regret: "It's a pity that I didn't get the country award."

But soon he thought of something again, and sent another message asking: "By the way, how is Xu Yun's group?"

Zhou Qi was about to reply when he saw this message, but his thoughts were interrupted by Zhao Yuefeng's voice beside him.

"Why didn't I see Brother Yun's name, shouldn't it be?"

"There is indeed no Xu Yun's name." Qian Yudong checked the list again and nodded in approval of Zhao Yuefeng's words.

Neither of them participated in the Higher Education Society Cup, so it's normal that they don't know the selection rules.

In order to avoid the worry of the two, Zhou Qi explained at this time: "There is no list of winners announced by the competition area, so there is a high probability that it was selected by the organizing committee of the competition area and qualified for the national award."

"At that time, I will also participate in the on-site defense organized by the organizing committee of the competition area."

After speaking, he deliberately turned around to look at Xu Yun, and took the initiative to ask about the qualifications for the national award.

"Xu Yun."

"Have you received the notice of the competition area's defense?"

Qian Yudong and Zhao Yuefeng were immediately relieved by Zhou Qikepu, and they also turned their attention to Xu Yun.

"The list of winners has been announced, so the defense notice should have arrived."

Xu Yun was not surprised by this result, it can be said that it was completely within his expectations.

But meeting the expectant eyes of the three, he had no choice but to temporarily put down the textbook in his hand and take out the cell phone in his pocket.

"I'll see if there's any news."

And almost at the moment when the phone was turned on, the ringtone he set for the incoming call rang immediately, and the note displayed on the screen was indeed Professor He.

Faced with this situation, Xu Yun didn't dare to delay, and quickly pressed the answer button and put the phone to his ear.

Two minutes later.

Qian Yudong, Zhao Yuefeng, and Zhou Qi asked in unison when they saw that Xu Yun had ended the call.

"How is it going?"

"Professor He asked me to go, it should be a matter of defending in the competition area." Xu Yun gave the exact result with a smile.

"It's too strong, Brother Yun."

"Suddenly I feel that my name as the head of the house has a lot more gold."

"Being qualified for the defense in the competition area, based on the strength of Xu Yun and his team, it is basically the national award." After taking over the words of Qian Yudong and Zhao Yuefeng, Zhou Qi did not hide his envy, and chose to speak out directly.

Immediately, Xu Yun stopped wasting time, simply joked with Qian Yudong and the others, and left the dormitory temporarily to find Professor He.
