From small town academic to chief scientist

The editor of the Annals of Mathematics was confused when he saw this article.

"Fuck, why did you click on an incomprehensible paper?"

But the editor took another look,

"Proof that the lattice-type Newton's problem is unified in 5, 6, and 7-dimensional spaces. This is the proof of Newton's "lattice-type" problem in three dimensions."

"Oh, God, he proved the proof of three dimensions in one breath. Who is this person?"

The editor then looked below.

Chongqing Zhouyi?

Who is this person? Why do I have some impression?

The winner of question A in the US competition!

It turned out to be him.

Is this guy so strong?

This paper will definitely be difficult to understand for an editor's level, so you need to ask a professional to read it.

A professional person must be Milo, winner of three Fields Medals, Abel Prizes and Wolf Medals.

I have won the Leroy P. SteeLe Award three times.

This big guy is someone who has specifically studied Kepler’s conjectures.

It was once said in the 20th century that the result of Kepler's conjecture was correct, but the difference was only a proof.

So far, no one has proved this.

There is probably no one at Princeton who is more professional in researching this issue than him.

This Milno boss is already 91 years old. He is one of the few outstanding older mathematicians. He is also the winner of the Three Materials Award and has a lot of authority.

"Professor Mirro, this paper is very interesting. It is a direction that you have always been interested in. It is a proof that the lattice Newton problem is unified in 5, 6 and 7-dimensional space. Do you want to read it?"

The editor said respectfully to Professor Mirro.

Miluo said doubtfully:

"Who is the proof of three dimensions?"

At his age, he has actually stopped doing these things and has been focusing on mathematics. It is purely a hobby and interest.

Mathematics penetrates their souls.

I'm really interested in some proofs on Kepler's conjecture and Newton's problems.

"Zhou Yi, a native of Daxia, who was the winner of question A in the US competition, caused a lot of noise on Twitter."

Mirro said with a hint of surprise:

"A native of Daxia? Show me his paper. You'd better not show me some rubbish, otherwise I'll make it look good for you."

Milnor is also a person who pursues the beauty of mathematics very rigorously.

It can be seen from the books he published that they are concise, vivid, interesting and fascinating.

After a while, Milnor took the paper. The format and layout of the paper were impeccable, making people at least interested in reading.

"The proof of three dimensions. Who is so powerful? He can prove three dimensions in one breath. Looking at the discussion in mathematical language, I subconsciously thought it was proved by a famous person over there. How old is Zhou Yi, and he is still studying as an undergraduate?"

Milno asked directly.

The technical editor immediately said:

"I am still studying for my undergraduate degree. I think I am only 19 years old this year. I have already won the championship in mathematics competitions and mathematical modeling in their country of Daxia. This time, I beat the world and won the global championship. In SCI alone, it seems that Published 12 articles.”

"Um?"

Milno looked at the technical editor seriously and said word by word:

"really?"

Technical editor said:

"Of course it's true. I ate a lot of Mesa Nagua back then, so I learned about it by the way."

In fact, the technical editor has just learned about it, but in order to promote the manuscript in hand, I have to say it.

After reading a few lines, Milno took a deep breath and said:

"This paper proves that it is most likely true. You can go now. I will give you news later. This Daxia native is interesting."

The editor breathed a sigh of relief and then left respectfully.

This boss has a good temper. If Professor Deligne showed him some rubbish, he would probably kick him out directly.

Professors at Princeton all have a sense of arrogance, not to mention this kind of third prize winner. Except for a very few people, everyone looks...

Milno looked at the more than 20 pages of proofs in his hand and took out the draft paper from his drawer. His cloudy eyes were very bright at the moment.

The logic of this junior's proof is impeccable. Some of the inferences in the proof are linked link by link without a word of error.

"Hey, isn't this some of the ideas in Bill Carr's proof of the BAB conjecture? It's interesting."

Milno read the more than 20 pages of the paper from morning to night, and almost never stepped out of his room except for meals and convenience times.

Milnor basically did every proof and calculation process himself.

No mistakes, not at all.

"Perfect!"

When Milnor read the last step of the proof, he couldn't help but sigh.

Of course, this proof is just something he thinks is okay. Due to the rigor of mathematics, he cannot let himself see it alone.

"Perhaps we can let the old guy Deligne take a look, but this 19-year-old young man may be able to come to Princeton for graduate school. Then he may really be able to prove Kepler's conjecture and even solve Hilbert's 18th Ask about the final form.”

Milno immediately left the room and went straight to Deligne's courtyard.

A rigorous academic paper, or a paper that needs to be published in a journal like the Annals of Mathematics, must go through repeated scrutiny and verification over a long period of time.

This is not only responsible for the reputation of the journal and Princeton, but also for the rigor of mathematics, and even more responsible for my own reputation as a reviewer.

You are also responsible for your own research field.

So find a professor who is similar to yourself and read it together. There is nothing more rigorous than this.

Deligne, who studied under the mathematical emperor Grothendieck,

He has won all the three major medals in mathematics, the Fields Medal, the Abel Prize and the Wolf Medal. To be precise, he has won basically all the awards that can be won in the mathematics world.

"Viscount Deligne, I have an interesting paper, would you like to read it?"

Milno shouted in the living room with his assistant.

Deligne came out cursing,

"You old guy actually asked me to read a paper?"

Deligne is now close to eighty years old, and he naturally knows Milno, the top professor at the same institution.

"Hey, this guy's paper is interesting. After you read it, guess how old he is."

Milno was not polite at all and directly handed over the paper in his hand.

Deligne also knew that this old guy would go to the Three Treasures Hall for no reason, and he would look for him at night, so he must have something.

"Huh? The proof of Newton's problem on lattice points of five, six and seven dimensions is interesting."

Deligne looked at the abstract and then continued reading.

"Hey, you can't believe that he is still a Daxia countryman."

"Shut up and let me think."

Deligne was not polite to his old friend at all and said very dissatisfied.

Milno was not polite, sat down directly, and said:

"You see first, if not, I'll sleep with you tonight."

Early the next morning, Deligne, who had been watching all night, walked out of the room and said to Milno who was sleeping on the sofa:

"Old guy, get up. I've read this paper and it's fine."

Milno rubbed his eyes, muttered and cursed:

"Why are you so loud? Can you take care of the old man?"

"How old is he? Don't tell me he is an elderly mathematician. I don't like to hear such cold jokes."

Deligne asked without any politeness, this old and disrespectful guy.

After studying it for a night, this result is not a huge result, it can only be said to show great talent.

It was included in the "Annals of Mathematics" because it proved the lattice Newton problem in three dimensions in one go.

As long as it is one or two, Deligne may directly scold her.

"Hehe, he is only 19 years old. He has studied the direction of algebra and geometry very thoroughly. I have rarely seen anyone of the younger generation before the age of 20 who is better than him.

Even undergraduates from Princeton and Harvard may not be as talented as him.

I plan to let him come to Princeton for graduate school and accept him as a close disciple. "

Milno said with a smile.

If the winner of the Third Material Award personally accepts an undergraduate as his apprentice, I am afraid no one will refuse.

This is like a strong man who is just one step away from ascending to the peak of the Divine Transformation Stage and accepts a newcomer who has just entered the cultivation stage as his disciple.

Who would refuse this?

Just the various connections and resource networks contained here are an extremely terrifying existence.

Deligne looked at him in surprise and said:

"Are you going to accept him as your apprentice?"

The update time will be changed starting tomorrow and will be around 8pm and 10pm.

Try to keep about 6,000 words a day, there is too much to squeeze out.

Which roll coin brings about the trend of inward roll, I really want to give him a hammer.

Yesterday's unlucky thing caused the first order result to be a bit poor. Alas, giao!
