Chapter 180 Losing the Wolf Prize in Mathematics
The Wolf Prize was established by the Wolf Foundation in Israel, and includes five awards in mathematics, physics, chemical medicine, and agronomy.
Later, an additional art award was added.
Among them, the Wolf Prize in Mathematics and the Abel Prize and the Fields Medal are called the three major prizes in the mathematics world.
It is the highest honor that mathematicians all over the world want to win.
The selection criteria for the Wolf Prize in Mathematics are mathematicians who have made significant contributions to the field of mathematics.
And there is no age limit.
There are many older mathematicians who cannot get the Fields Medal with an age limit, so they have to put their hopes on the Wolf Award.
Xu Yun successively proved that Hodge's conjecture and the Fibonacci sequence have infinite prime number problems. The contribution of these two points to the mathematics world alone proves that Perelman of Poincaré's conjecture is worse. It stands to reason Prizes in mathematics should be honored to be awarded to him.
But the reality is that the judges are responsible for the evaluation of the awards. It does not mean that if you prove any difficult problem, you will definitely win the award.
There is nothing they can do if they don’t give it to you.
After all, these awards are established by famous overseas mathematicians.
So far, no real Chinese who has received traditional education has won the highest honor in mathematics.
The appearance of Xu Yun made everyone see hope, so besides the Mathematics Association, many ordinary netizens are also concerned about the announcement of the list of the Wolf Mathematics Prize.
On January 26 local time, the Wolf Foundation officially announced the list of all winners.
Because the mathematics awards are listed first, everyone can see the names of the winners at a glance.
The opponent is from Stanford University.
Xu Yun, who is obviously called a young genius, lost the Wolf Prize in Mathematics.
When the news quickly spread back to China and was reported by the official media, the topic of Xu Yun's failure also quickly became a hot search on major websites.
The number of topic comments is rising at a rocket-like speed.
Many people were aggrieved and expressed regret that Xu Yun was not selected for the Wolf Prize in Mathematics.
There are also those who are not surprised by this.
considered within expectations.
"It is unbelievable to prove that the world's mathematical problems have not won the Wolf Prize in Mathematics."
"Awards overseas are so complicated?"
"It's not that I can't get it, but Xu Shen is too young now, maybe I can get it in a few years."
"It can only be said that the Wolff Prize in Mathematics also depends on qualifications. There are too many mathematicians who have been blocked by the Fields Medal. They all want to win the Wolff Prize in Mathematics to receive this lifelong honor."
"What's the point of a late award."
"I've already guessed the result, so I can only say that Xu Shen is one of us."
"Let's wait for the announcement of the Fields Medal in August. Mathematicians under the age of 40 can't compare with Xu Shen."
...
Compared with domestic netizens' support for Xu Yun, many overseas Twitter users ridiculed him, and once again attributed Xu Yun's contribution to the mathematics world to luck. Some people even said that the Wolf Foundation did not award the award because it saw Xu Yun's true level, and called on the Abel Prize and Fields Medal jury not to award the award to Xu Yun.
"It's impossible for them to have this kind of mathematical genius, it's just luck."
"The Wolf Foundation must have confirmed that the opponent's level is not good enough, so it didn't award him the Wolf Prize in Mathematics."
"That Xu Yun is just a little more lucky than other mathematicians, how can he win the highest honor in the mathematics world."
"I don't think the topological group theory he proposed is going to work at all. I heard that it has not been studied for a long time."
"Our professor at Seoul University has actually proved the Hodge conjecture, the world's most difficult mathematical problem, but he has not published a paper to make it public. That Xu Yun must have plagiarized our proof."
Faced with this kind of enthusiasm involving the entire mathematics community, the local media, TV stations, and newspaper organizations will certainly not only watch it, but will naturally end up analyzing and reporting from various angles.
The news that Xu Yun lost the election made headlines overseas, and even a TV station made a special program.
However, the comments from netizens are just discussions, and no well-known mathematician has come out to express his opinion in person.
Congratulations to the winners of the Wolf Prize in Mathematics.
Obviously they still recognized Xu Yun's strength.
the next day.
Xu Yun is staying at the Institute for Advanced Study of Mathematics, making a final and perfect demonstration of his topological group theory.
He didn't pay much attention to the so-called awards, and he didn't even know that today was the day when the Wolf Prize in Mathematics was announced.
The one who knows the most is the Fields Medal, known as the Nobel Prize in mathematics.
But that will have to wait until August to be announced at the International Congress of Mathematicians.
"Huh~"
"Finally completed the demonstration for several months."
"The theory has matured as well."
Xu Yun at the desk suddenly puffed up his chest, put down the fountain pen in his hand, looked at the dense mathematical formulas on the draft paper in front of him, and slowly raised the corners of his mouth to reveal a smile from the bottom of his heart. While muttering softly in his mouth, he did not hide the joy on his face at all, and the depression that he had been concentrating on perfecting topological group theory for many days dissipated in an instant.
Yes.
He succeeded in perfecting topological group theory.
More strictly speaking, it should be called a theorem for now.
Xu's theorem.
The key point is that he did not use brain overclocking during this period, but relied on his current strength for research.
It can be said that this kind of joy is more joyful than proving Hodge's conjecture.
After all, he didn't put in too much effort in proving Hodge's conjecture, he just mastered the proof process that was drawn.
The advent of Xu's theorem also means that he can start writing and publishing related papers.
Even because the whole process is in the head, the paper will not be too strenuous to write.
I believe that there will be another Mathematics Annals submission soon.
"Strike while the iron is hot, let's start writing the paper today."
Xu Yun stood up and poured himself a glass of water. After a little exercise, he decided to take advantage of the current momentum to finish the thesis.
Save those professors who study number theory in China from time to time to come over offline to urge updates.
Among them, Tang Gucong was the most frequent.
The reason for the choice is also very legitimate, to give mathematics lectures at Jingzhou University.
Qin Xiangxin would definitely not refuse this.
As for those voices from overseas, he couldn't see them anyway, so he just chose to ignore them.
But just as he turned on the computer, he suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from outside the office.
"Xu Yun."
"Something has happened."
As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw several roommates in the dormitory push open the door, among them Qian Yudong was full of indignation.
Knowing Qian Yudong's character, Xu Yun didn't pay much attention to the big things he said, but first set his sights on Zhou Qi and Zhao Yuefeng.
"Why do you two have time to come over, how is your review?"
Both Zhao Yuefeng and Zhou Qi are planning to study for postgraduate studies. Among them, Zhou Qi has a high probability of getting the qualification of the school's graduate school, while Zhao Yuefeng needs to take this year's postgraduate examination.
There are only ten months left if you do everything you can.
For this reason Zhao Yuefeng spends time in the library whenever he has time, and even cancels all activities with girls from the photography club.
It is somewhat similar to his concentrating on perfecting topological group theory.
Under normal circumstances, he should be in the library this Saturday, but it was really surprising that he could come here with Zhou Qi and Qian Yudong.
As Xu Yun walked farther and farther away, the time they met decreased, but Zhao Yuefeng's gratitude to Xu Yun became greater and greater.
Especially thinking that after Xu Yun became a graduate student, he still took the trouble to help him explain, which is impossible for any other mathematics professor.
So upon hearing Xu Yun's question, Zhao Yuefeng quickly answered with a simple and honest smile.
"I also want to thank Brother Yun for helping me with my revision. Now I am very confident in my level."
"Should be able to go ashore smoothly."
"Fengzi really worked hard enough, I'm ashamed of myself." Zhou Qi added with a smile.
Xu Yun responded with a smile: "That's good."
After speaking, he turned his attention to Qian Yudong.
Ask for specifics.
"What's the matter, Chief Sheriff, what happened again?"
"You lost the Wolf Prize in Mathematics, don't you know?" Qian Yudong immediately replied with a very surprised expression on his face.
In his opinion, mathematicians who are expected to win the prize should stay in front of the computer and grasp the list as soon as possible.
It's like Xu Yun didn't even know that it's been a day.
This is too Buddhist.
"This matter, if you lose the election, you will lose the election." Xu Yunwen said in a flat tone.
The whole person didn't react much.
It's not even a gold medal, so he doesn't even care about it.
Seeing Xu Yun's indifferent attitude, Qian Yudong and the others felt admiration for a while.
Do you think this is the realm of the boss?
But soon Qian Yudong thought of something again, and quickly talked about another matter.
"And you were mocked by an old man."
"What?"
"Mock me?"
"Old man?"
Xu Yun was a little confused when he heard this sentence suddenly. Some people posted random comments and rumors on the Internet.
Could it be that he is jealous of his youth.
At this time, Qian Yudong also obviously saw the doubts in Xu Yun's heart, and quickly turned on the phone to find a saved video.
"See for yourself."
Xu Yun took the phone with a suspicious face, clicked on the video and found that it was transferred from the external network YouTube.
The content seems to be the TV station column on the Neon side.
For the time being, he held back his curiosity and continued to look down. From the translated subtitles, he learned that the woman was the host of the column, and the old man Qian Yudong was talking about was Professor Ohno Hideo of Dongjing University.
"Welcome Mr. Ohno, Professor of Tokyo University, to our special program today."
...
"These two days are a grand event in the mathematics world. The list of this year's Wolf Prize in Mathematics has been announced. I don't know how you evaluate this award winner, Professor Ohno?"
As the video played, the hostess mentioned the list of the Wolf Mathematics Awards after the cutscene.
And invited guests to comment.
Originally, the video was quite normal, so Ohno just had to say a few words about the contributions the winners have made to the world of mathematics.
But later, the other party insisted on dragging the topic to the unsuccessful Xu Yun, and criticized the proof of Hodge's conjecture and topological group theory.
He vowed that the proof of Hodge's conjecture was all luck, and even threatened that topological group theory is a wrong path and cannot be used to prove conjectures in number theory.
