From small town academic to chief scientist

After Zhou Yi published his paper, he stopped paying attention.

Go to class and eat on time every day.

During the day when I had classes, I used my tablet to read Yue Xinyi’s paper on the ABC conjecture.

With more than 500 pages, and the current level of mathematics in Zhouyi, it seems very difficult.

It involves brand-new mathematical concepts and definitions, and each page must be reviewed repeatedly to see if it is reasonable and correct.

Schultz and Sticks had their doubts about the proof, and there must be a reason for their doubts.

There is basically no doubt that the most dazzling mathematical genius today must be Schulz.

So Zhou Yi also wondered if he could study the problems inside, and then learn from their ideas and prove it himself.

As for Zhou Yi's teachers, they have turned a blind eye for a long time. The dean personally greeted each and every one of them.

There is no such outrageous student in the entire Mathematics Institute.

There have never been such strong students in the entire Chongqing University since ancient times, so just ignore them.

At noon, Zhou Yi met Xia Xue in the cafeteria.

Zhou Yi said to Xia Xue while eating:

"Sister, I will probably go to Shuimu University for graduate school after this semester."

Xia Xue's hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly, her delicate face did not change at all, and she said softly:

"Well, when will senior go?"

Zhou Yi thought for a while and said:

"I'll probably go there after this semester. Mizuki sent me an offer, and it's possible that Fields Medalist Bill Carr will be my mentor."

In fact, Academician Yang of Chongqing Normal University also sent Zhou Yi an offer, asking Zhou Yi to follow him in the direction of operations research, but after careful consideration, Zhou Yi refused.

The second task is to solve a world-class mathematical conjecture alone. Following Academician Yang, you may be able to produce a lot of results, but for the research on number theory, there will definitely not be much increase.

And there are better options, so there’s no need to go.

Xia Xue bit her red lips and still said softly:

"Congratulations then, senior."

Zhou Yi looked at Xia Xue, who was pretending to be calm, and didn't know what to say. He had never dealt with a girl in so many years.

The female classmates in the past were basically far away from Zhou Yi, but they had a series of titles such as withdrawn character, evil star of heaven and so on.

When I came to Chongqing University, I had no contact with girls. I only had the most contact with Xia Xue.

"I"

Zhou Yi wanted to say something else, but Xia Xue shook her head and said:

"Okay, senior, it's a good thing for you to study at a higher institution, hehe."

Seeing this, Zhou Yi breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Go to the library. Why haven't you talked about your cultural ambassadorship recently?"

The two took the tableware to the recycling place. Xia Xue said as they walked:

"The dean said he would give up and come back to concentrate on scientific research. Later he planned to send me to Beijing University for graduate school and then to Europe for a year of exchange study.

This is the arrangement, but the actual situation is not yet known. "

Zhou Yi nodded when he heard this and said:

"Ah That's good."

When they came to the library, Zhou Yi continued to write his paper, while Xia Xue read a book that Zhou Yi couldn't understand.

It's very strange. It's all ancient prose, and Zhouyi was also surprised.

While both of them were studying, Shuimu International Mathematics Research Center and Qiu Chengtong looked at a paper sent by Princeton and couldn't help but think deeply.

This paper was written by Zhou Yi, who had caused trouble in the US competition before.

It is a proof about the lattice Newton problem of five, six and seven dimensional space.

Qiu Chengtong himself is also engaged in differential geometry, so he naturally has certain opinions on this paper.

It turned out to be really wonderful, very good, and I couldn’t fault it at all.

At first glance, it doesn't look like a paper written by an undergraduate, but rather like it was written by an old guy who has been immersed in mathematics for many years.

The polishing of mathematical language is almost to the extreme.

The same was true for the paper for the US competition. This little guy's talent seemed to be very good.

Fields Medal winner Bill Carr said from the sidelines:

"We had made an offer to this student before, but according to colleagues at Princeton, Mr. Milnor was going to accept him as his apprentice, saying he was very talented."

Mr. Qiu also said:

"He is indeed very talented. I remember he is only 19 years old. He is following Milnor and focusing on Kepler's conjectures. Maybe he can prove it. But this old guy is already 91 years old. Does he really have such good energy?"

Bill Carr said:

"The main reason is that I don't know what kind of person Zhou Yi is. How about I go and get in touch with him personally?"

When Bill Carr first studied the BAB conjecture, Qiu strongly supported it and asserted that this direction would definitely win the Fields Medal.

I owe a great debt of gratitude to Bill Carr.

Otherwise, when Bill Carr went to Shangjing University, he might have joined Shangjing University full-time instead of Shuimu University.

"His proof seems to be somewhat similar to some of the proof methods in your BAB conjecture. You two do have a common language together.

Let’s discuss with Yang from Chongqing Normal University and Miao Lai from Chongqing University whether to establish an applied mathematics center in Yuzhou. We may be able to make plans in advance. "

Qiu Chengtong thought for a while and said.

In the past, Chongqing University was relatively close to Beijing University, but recently its attitude has been very ambiguous and it has contacted many schools and research institutes.

We have contacted many Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shangjing University, Shuimu University, Aurora University, and even some foreign schools.

Mostly it was because of this student.

Bill Carr said:

"Then I will go there in person. After this paper is published, it will probably make the previous Chinese Academy of Sciences and Beijing University regret it. I heard from my colleagues there that it will be a test for Zhou Yi to go to their graduate school."

"Haha. As expected of them. Is this still a test? I will personally accept Zhou Yi as my apprentice and compete with Mirno for people."

Qiu Chengtong laughed out loud.

"With 12 SCI papers and a few championships, this kind of student has to consider himself as a member of the Daxia National Mathematics Center."

Birkar knows a lot about the disputes between the two parties. There is no conflict between them openly, but there is no less rivalry in secret.

When Birkar came to Daxia, he also learned a lot about Chu Qiu's conflict with Shangjing University in the media.

It can be said that it caused a sensation in the entire Daxia Kingdom. Compared with Zhou Yi's little fuss, it pales in comparison.

"Go ahead. I'll write an invitation letter and personally invite Zhou Yi to be my student. I'll steal Mirno's student."

Qiu Chengtong said calmly.

"Okay, I'll contact Yang Yu, the principal of Chongqing University."

Lu Mei, director of the Institute of Computational Mathematics and Operations Research at Shuimu University, said on the side.

The Fields Medal winner went to Chongqing University for exchanges in person, and the pomp must not be low.

Otherwise, if the portion is too low, it will only make people think that Shuimu University is not good.

At this moment, Zhou Yi, who is at Chongqing University, is still looking at Mochizuki Shinichi’s paper.

It will take more than a day or two to chew through more than 500 pages of difficult and obscure papers. It will be good if you can finish it in a month.

Few people in the entire mathematical community can understand Mochizuki Shinichi's paper.

PS: Please see the genuine Crab, it’s not easy to code.

No, why would anyone spread rumors?

I can't be a eunuch.

Please stop spreading rumors.

One more chapter, maybe a little late.

My coding is very slow for newbies. Sorry for that.
