God's Crown

My mentor is An Yan's relationship.

After all, An Yan himself is one of the reviewers of the Annals of Mathematics, and is often invited by the Annals of Mathematics to approve some papers received by the Annals of Mathematics.

That's why he was able to make it into the Annual Journal of Mathematics so smoothly.

But some people think that although Wang Yunqi is the professor An Yan, he was able to appear in the Annual Journal of Mathematics because of his own ability.He solved the new Mason conjecture, which is enough to show that his future achievements will not be too low.Even if he does not reach the level of his professor, it is extremely possible to become a top mathematician in his lifetime, and it is not impossible to even win the Fields Medal.

As for another solid force of the Yucheng School, Chen Ming from Beijing University.

This kid looked inconspicuous, neither Wang Yunqi nor Han Qiu seemed to be able to completely block his light.However, he has published several SCI journals consecutively, all of which are core journals in the first district.When I was a graduate student, I had already published several papers in core journals such as Mathematical Applied Communications.

If it weren't for the fact that his advisor was not An Yan, some people even suspected that he had already appeared in the annual mathematics journal several times.

Sure enough, this year's Mathematics Annual has a paper published by him.On the corresponding author's name, An Yan's name was written in big lala.

These geniuses are just mocking ordinary people.

Rubbing his eyebrows, the person in charge of the military industry said, "Oh, I don't know what style that guy has."

"It's very simple. Leave your students behind and run to do the project by yourself." Li Bo said with a light smile, "From my experience with him, he is just such a person. If you want to do a project, it is estimated that the students will Very little."

"This..." He was quite embarrassed, thinking what kind of style it was.The result is that the students are left aside, which is a bit... weird.For him to meet such a professor, he would probably collapse.I just don't know what kind of thoughts are in the minds of this professor's students. Wouldn't it be uncomfortable to meet such an irresponsible professor, even though the professor is already a top international scholar?

I don't care about the students, I research the topic by myself, and I go to the Max-Planck Institute of Mathematics, and I don't stay with the students at all.Such a professor... emmmmm, if he wasn't already a top mathematician in the world, probably not many people would be able to sign up to be his students.

He rubbed his eyebrows, "Do these students have any objections?"

"Students can have any opinions." Professor Li Bo took a deep breath and said, "You don't understand, I guess his students will be under more and more pressure."

"The professor is too powerful. If the student is too rubbish, I don't think I have the face to say that I am that student." Professor Li Bo said with a smile, "Do you know who my professor is?"

The person in charge of the military industry was stunned for a moment, because he had never heard Professor Li Bo talk about his professor.I only know that he is a top student who graduated from Stanford University, and he has already returned to China to do research in the 90s when everyone yearned for the United States.It took more than ten or 20 years for one work.Now, Professor Li Bo is also in his 40s.The former teenagers have become middle-aged, and the two of them have had many opportunities to get in touch, but they have never heard him mention his professor.

"Who is your professor?" The head of the military industry asked confusedly, "I don't think I have ever heard you talk about your professor?"

"That's right." Professor Li Bo said calmly, "It's embarrassing to the professor, and I dare not say which professor I graduated from."

"So which professor did you graduate from?" If you lose face to the professor, it means that the professor still has some status in the academic world.It can make Professor Li Bo feel that he has humiliated the professor. I am afraid that his professor is also a well-known figure in the world.

"You want to know?" Professor Li Bo turned his head and stared at him, "If I told you that An Yan and I graduated under the same professor, would you believe it?"

"What?" The head of the military industry was shocked. He and Professor An Yan got their doctorate from the same professor.Wait, he remembered that An Yan's professor taught high-energy physics.

"Professor Li." He said with mixed feelings, "Did you engage in high-energy physics before?"

"Yes." Li Bo nodded, "I studied high-energy physics, but after I came back, I didn't have much use for it. Didn't I start studying mechanics? I also did turbulence experiments with you. This is all because I returned to China The content that I learned later is painful..." Professor Li Bo's expression of looking back on the past made the head of the military industry dumbfounded.But he has to admire that he is obviously doing high-energy physics, and he stayed in the United States at that time. Maybe now, Professor Li Bo has a place in the international theoretical physics circle.

But after he came back, it was obviously a lot of time for him to re-learn fluid mechanics and related knowledge.And it's not going up or down now. It's true that staying in the United States was much better than staying in the United States.

"Have you ever regretted it?"

"Regret?" Professor Li Bo flicked the cigarette ash, "I have nothing to regret. I want to go back to China myself, not someone else pulling me to make me go back to China. Besides, I am holding a scholarship from Beijing University and the country. If I study abroad, can I not go back to my country?"

"What do you take me for?"

"I remember that there were quite a few people who went abroad, but not many returned."

"That's right, when our country was compared with foreign countries, there was a big gap. I remember when I first went to the United States, it was like a bumpkin entering the city. But now when I go to the United States, I always feel that there is a little It’s like a big countryside. Of course, an international metropolis like New York is pretty cool.”

"Ahem." Gou Liqun coughed lightly and said, "I didn't intend to interrupt the conversation between the two of you, I just think, should we go in?" He looked at the two and said, "Everyone still They are waiting for us, if you don't go in now..."

"Come on, let's go in." Professor Li Bo turned and entered the laboratory first.Of course, he also thought about why he had to return to China back then. In fact, staying in the United States was very beneficial to his development.No matter how bad it is, like An Yan, staying in the United States and returning to China in a few years is not bad.

After the academic reputation and academic reputation are established, when returning to China, the treatment is not the same as before.

But to be honest, when he returned to China at that time, he was already the best group of people in the country in terms of treatment.Actually, it's not bad now, but it's a pity that what I learned in America can't be used in China.

Of course, this pity is also relative.He is still very satisfied with what he is doing now. He doesn't know if others are satisfied, but at least he himself is very satisfied.

Back in the lab, I saw everyone doing experiments.He looked at Gou Liqun next to him and said, "Keep counting. If you still can't figure it out, I really have to go find Academician Lin."

The person in charge of the military showed a smile. It seems that after chatting with this professor for a while, it is still useful.At least, he is still willing to set off to find the academician, isn't he?

Gou Liqun took a pen and began to calculate on the draft paper, and Professor Li Bo was not idle, holding a pen on the blackboard, facing the current problem, and began to delve into it.

Speaking of which, he is still very inquisitive.Although he also knew that without An Yan, they would definitely not be able to solve this equation.Even An Yan may not be able to solve this equation.

…………

On the campus of Princeton University in mid-April.

While working on his own project, He Yang said, "Professor, how long has it been since you left, haven't you come back?"

"I guess we should not see the professor before the International Congress of Mathematicians." Han Qiu said with a smile, "The professor said that he would go for a few days, but in fact, we all know that once the professor is working on the subject, it will start endlessly." gone."

"That's right." Chen Ming nodded in agreement and said, "If the professor has some new inspirations at the Max-Planck Institute of Mathematics, maybe he will do his own research there."

"It's just a pity. I don't know if the professor will take us to participate in this International Conference of Mathematicians."

"Professor should go alone." Wang Yunqi said abruptly from the side, "I remember the professor said that this International Congress of Mathematicians might not take us to participate, and Princeton University will almost have a holiday in June. What the professor means is that since it’s already a holiday, it’s time to go home, and if you don’t go home, you can stay in Princeton and continue your research on the topic. But even if you go home, you must continue to study the topic without slack.”

"Sigh." He Yang sighed, "If you have any questions, you can't even ask the professor."

"If you don't mind walking a few more steps, go left after going out, and then follow the stairs to the second floor. You are still very welcome in Professor Deligne's office, but I don't recommend you to ask simple questions Professor Deligne. Although Professor Deligne will tell you, he will think you are a piece of rotten wood. You can handle this thing yourself."

"I don't have that much courage." He Yang rubbed his eyebrows and said, "I'm not you, I dare not go to Professor Deligne."

"Only you dare to go to Professor Deligne."

"What does it mean that only I dare to look for it?" Wang Yunqi said dumbfoundingly, "Tell Professor Deligne like a scourge."

"Professor Deligne was very optimistic about you before, and you stayed with Professor Deligne for a while." Chen Ming said, "You naturally think that Professor Deligne is fine, but in our opinion, this But the world's top masters, do we dare to go to Professor Deligne easily?"

"It's as if our professor is not a master." Wang Yunqi smiled and said, "You are still afraid of Professor Deligne."

"But speaking of it, I still remember that I had a bet with Mr. Faltings."

"envious."

"What a boss!"

"awesome!"

"What's the bet with Professor Faltings?"

"I said that if the professor can win the Fields Medal this year, then Mr. Faltings said that within a year, he would teach me all the knowledge he is familiar with."

"This……"

"Very powerful."

"It can be regarded as a study tour."

"Oh, why don't I have such luck."

He Yang was feeling emotional, and Chen Ming complained beside him, "How is your project going?"

"Can we talk about something else." He Yang's face turned red, and he seemed a little embarrassed.

"Is this embarrassing?" Chen Ming said with a smile, "You also know that you are ashamed."

"It's not embarrassing." He Yang coughed lightly and then said, "I just think that my subject is still a little difficult."

Han Qiu agreed, "It is true that your subject is difficult. Even the professor has no way to solve this subject."

He Yang raised his eyebrows and glanced at Chen Ming, as if to say, look at what I said.

But Han Qiu continued, "But that's not the reason why you haven't done the project for almost a month."

"It's not that I don't want to do it." He Yang shook his head and said, "I'm just a little confused now. It seems that no matter what angle I start with this topic, it's not right."

After finishing speaking, he stared at the literature on the computer and said, "I have read a lot of literature on Hodge's theory, but it is still useless."

"To be honest, I have read the professor's thesis before. But after reading more than ten pages, I can't read it anymore. I don't even know what the professor wrote later, what do you want me to read."

"Professor Deligne is downstairs. I think you can actually ask Professor Deligne about this question." Wang Yunqi said calmly, "I believe that Professor Deligne welcomes you to ask. His subject."

"Professor Deligne's current subject is somewhat related to Hodge's theory."

"Or, you're asking me to think about it." He Yang was a little worried, if he really asked Professor Deligne a question, would he point his nose and scold him.

What a joke, the Anyan-Hodge theory, as a student of Professor Anyan, is so unfamiliar with the theory he teaches.

What are you doing?Can I continue to study?If you can't learn it, you can drop out of school directly.He has already imagined countless words that Professor Deligne pointed at his nose and cursed in his mind.So he hesitated to leave, what a joke.For things like the Anyan-Hodge theory, other professors need to be troubled to tell him that he, as a graduate student of Professor Anyan, has failed enough.

Han Qiu and Chen Ming knew what He Yang was thinking when they saw He Yang's small movements.

Chen Ming took the lead in comforting He Yang and said, "Don't think too much about it. In fact, we don't know the Anyan-Hodge theory very well. Among us, Wang Yunqi is the only person who understands this theory, but he is just It’s just a little superficial understanding. People who really say that people who have studied the Anyan-Hodge theory, except for the top bosses, really can’t understand this theory. Of course, the literal meaning is easy to understand, but if you study it in depth, Definitely still incomprehensible."

"You can show the subject to Professor Deligne. I remember that Professor Deligne gave this subject to Professor An." Han Qiu said, "If possible, it is better to ask Professor Deligne to give you a few pointers." There's nothing wrong with that."

"You are so timid, have you calculated how much time you have left without your graduate student? The professor said that as long as you can complete this project, you will be allowed to graduate."

"Don't you know what professor means?"

"Ah?" He Yang was stunned for a moment, "Aside from graduating from graduate school, what other meanings does the professor's words have?"

"It means that you may be able to continue to study for a doctorate with the professor. Do you still want to continue to study for a doctorate with the professor? Or, do you actually want to study for a doctorate with other professors? Get in touch?"

"No, no, no." He Yang hurriedly took his things, stood up and said, "I'd better ask Professor Deligne." His generous face made people feel a little funny.

…………

At the Max-Planck Institute of Mathematics, An Yan was in his office, scratching his hair.After thinking for a while, when Pete came to his office, he saw him sitting there frowning for a long time in a daze.

Pete said curiously, "Ann, are you okay? It's been almost half a month since I came to the Max-Planck Institute of Mathematics. Why do I see you in a bad mood every day?"

"Pete." An Yan raised his head, nodded slightly to Pete and said, "I'm not in a bad mood, I'm just thinking about something." When he said this, An Yan sighed softly, "It's been more than a month Now, my progress still hasn't changed much, which is really worrying."

"Oh?" Pete said with a smile, "Ann, you should relax. Solving the BSD conjecture and the Hodge conjecture consecutively is already a very remarkable achievement. Some people will never reach your height in their lifetime." When he said this, he laughed at himself and said, "It's like me, I can't do it."

"Oh?" An Yan looked at Pete and said, "Peter, what do you think you can't do?"

"I said that I can't compare with you in solving the Millennium Prize puzzle." Pete pulled a chair and sat down on his own, and continued, "Speaking of which, you also know that I Right now, I'm working as a researcher at the Clay Institute of Mathematics."

"Yes." This is actually quite surprising. Everyone thought that Peter Schulz, a German mathematics genius, would join the Max-Planck Institute of Mathematics, but they did not expect that he would join the Clay Institute of Mathematics in the United States. .Instead, he, a scholar of Chinese nationality, joined the Max-Planck Institute of Mathematics, and he also has his own office in the Max-Planck Institute of Mathematics.

"The Millennium Prize puzzle. There is a huge bonus for solving each topic. I think many people want to solve these top math problems. You have already solved two, like Fermat's Last Theorem .If it hadn’t been solved before the Millennium Prize puzzle was determined. I guess Fermat’s last theorem will also be added to the Millennium Prize puzzle. These seven puzzles almost represent the most difficult ones in mathematics. problem."

Pete said, "You've unlocked two now, so you don't need to stay in the lab like this."

"But……"

"There's nothing wrong with it." Pete raised his brows and said, "There will be a conversation meeting later, I suggest you go and have a chat."

"Just at the Max-Planck Institute of Mathematics?"

"Of course." Pete said with a smile, "otherwise you think it would be somewhere else."

"Well, that's fine, I'll take a look later." An Yan nodded slightly, expressing that he would go to the Max-Planck Institute of Mathematics to take a look later.

"Friend, take it easy, you don't need to make yourself so nervous."

"Thank you, Pete." An Yan put down the pen in his hand, he always felt that he was missing something.
