Great Country Academician

In the early morning of the next day, Xu Chuan followed Rong Zhizhuan to the auditorium of Shuimu University, and met many famous mathematicians along the way.

For example, Professor Li Jun of Sun Moon University is an academician candidate of the Academy of Sciences, and he is only waiting for another selection time before being elected.

This big guy was invited to give a 45-minute report at the 22nd International Congress of Mathematicians.

Those who can give a 45-minute report at the International Conference of Mathematicians are all top experts in the field of mathematics. Even now, there are few people in the entire Hua Kingdom who have this qualification.

For example, Zhang Wei, Yun Zhiwei, and Xu Chenyang, who graduated from P University, are three mathematical geniuses of the previous generation. These three mathematical geniuses are known as the golden generation in the history of mathematics in Huaguo. Big math brilliance.

Among them, Zhang Wei's achievements are particularly outstanding, and he is known as the "Great God". He is only in his thirties this year, and he hopes to win the 2018 Fields Medal in Mathematics. In fact, like Xu Chuan, he is also the gold medal winner of the Morning Star Mathematics Award.

Xu Chuan is very happy to know these top mathematicians, and he can gain more knowledge and ideas in the follow-up evening parties and exchange meetings.

There are not small differences between domestic and foreign academic conferences. For example, domestic conferences pay more attention to form, and pay more attention to the mathematical achievements and identities of the speakers at conferences.

Some things remain the same though, and that is that the Academic Exchange is where everyone mingles and makes new friends.

Even in China, in addition to award presentations and report meetings, there are also evening parties and exchange venues, so that mathematicians can meet other people, exchange their inspirations, or learn new knowledge.

Ideas need to collide to produce sparks of wisdom, and knowledge is the same, and inspiration can only be produced in communication.

Entering the auditorium of Shuimu University, there are crowds of people, and even the faces of many foreigners can be seen.

Being able to hold such a mathematics exchange meeting will improve the reputation of the school and even the reputation of the whole city.

Because there are three awards at the World Congress of Chinese Mathematicians, whether it is the Chern Award, the Morning Star Mathematics Award or the ICCM International Cooperation Award, they are not separately designated for Chinese mathematicians, but for Chinese people all over the world. Few of them came from abroad.

This is a good opportunity to show foreign Chinese mathematicians the strength of universities, economy, and even the economic strength of cities and countries. It is also an opportunity to attract foreign Chinese mathematicians to return to China.

So basically the cities that can receive the World Congress of Chinese Mathematicians will do their best to complete it, so as to showcase the city and attract talents.

Soon, the Seventh World Congress of Chinese Mathematicians in Huaguo officially kicked off.

After the opening speech in the morning, the most important content of this mathematics conference will follow.

The Morningside Mathematics Award, the Chern Prize and the International Cooperation Award of the International Competition will be presented to reward Chinese mathematicians who have made outstanding achievements in the field of research and those who have made important contributions to the development of Chinese mathematics.

According to the ranking, the Morningstar Mathematics Award is awarded first.

Among the three awards, the Chern Prize, the Morning Star Mathematics Prize, and the ICCM International Cooperation Prize, the Morning Star Mathematics Prize is the most important.

Although the Chern Prize is the first mathematics award named after a Chinese mathematician by the International Mathematical Union, and its weight is far higher than that of the Morning Star Mathematics Prize, there are actually two of them.

One is the Chern Prize presented at the World Congress of Chinese Mathematicians.

The other is the Chern Medal awarded by the International Mathematical Union at the International Congress of Mathematicians held every four years.

The former is awarded to Chinese mathematicians or Chinese mathematicians, while the latter is not restricted by nationality. It is awarded every four years, and the level is much higher than the former.

The Chern Medal is the fourth award under the responsibility of the International Mathematical Union, and it is also the highest lifetime achievement award in the international mathematics community.

It can be said that those who can win this medal are not unique in their respective fields, but also the status of the leader.

Regrettably, no Chinese mathematician has ever received the Chern Medal.

After the speech at the opening ceremony, amidst the deafening applause, Mr. Qiu Chengtong, wearing black round glasses, came to the stage and took the microphone from Professor Zhang Shouwu of Shuimu University who presided over the opening ceremony.

"It's a great honor to stand here and see so many mathematicians gather together to exchange mathematical knowledge and expand the boundaries of the field of mathematics"

"Next, I will announce the winners of this Morning Star Mathematics Award, and present the Morning Star Mathematics Gold Award and Silver Award."

On the stage, Qiu Chengtong flipped through the entry card in his hand, and said slowly. "The first winner is Professor Zhang Wei from the University of Columbia. His main scientific research achievements are original contributions to number theory and automorphic forms, and he solved the problem of modularity in the Kudala conjecture. Chinese Mathematicians Conference Morningside Mathematics Gold Award."

Amidst the warm applause, Zhang Wei, who was sitting in the front row, stood up, walked to the stage, took the golden medal and certificate from Qiu Chengtong, and then delivered a speech.

After the warm applause, Qiu Chengtong flipped through the entry, and then said: "The second winner is Professor Li Si from Shuimu University."

"The main scientific research achievements are to introduce the gauge field renormalization method into Hodge theory on complex geometry and Calabi-Yu manifold, to propose the quantization theory on Calabi-Yu space, and to establish a compact Calabi-Yu manifold The mathematical basis of the B-type quantum topology and high-standard mirror symmetry won the Morningside Mathematics Gold Award at the World Conference of Chinese Mathematicians."

There was another round of applause in the auditorium, and Li Si from Shuimu University took the stage to accept the award and delivered a speech.

After the applause ended, Qiu Chengtong pushed the round-frame glasses on the bridge of his nose, showing a rare smile on his face.

The "last" winner of the Morningside Mathematics Prize is Xu Chuan from Jinling Sanjiang Normal University. "

"Its main scientific achievements are the weakened form proof of the Weyl-Berry conjecture, the comprehensive proof of the Weyl-Berry conjecture, and the method of accurately calculating the parameter information of distant celestial bodies."

Compared with the number of scientific research achievements of the first two winners, Xu Chuan has only three major scientific research achievements, but each of them is heavyweight.

Hearing the name of the third winner, the auditorium was quiet for a while. Mathematicians who are able to participate in this mathematics exchange meeting are no strangers to the name Xu Chuan, at least they have heard of it.

The proof of the weak Weyl-Berry conjecture, the proof of the Weyl-Berry conjecture, and the Xu-Weyl-Berry theorem, not only the achievements in the field of mathematics, but also the achievements in the field of astronomy, have made everyone familiar with this name.

But most people were quite surprised when they heard this name at the presentation ceremony of the Morningstar Mathematics Gold Award.

Without him, the owner of this name is so young, so young that Qiu Chengtong used classmate Xu Chuan instead of Professor Xu Chuan when announcing the award-winning name.

If everyone present here remembers correctly, Xu Chuan only entered university in September last year, and he has not finished his freshman year this year, and he is not yet nineteen years old.

Compared with the previous two winners, he is too young.

Unbelievably young, so young that people are surprised and even amazed that he can win the Morning Star Mathematics Award this time.

Although it is definitely enough for his achievements, it is a world-class mathematical conjecture problem, which many mathematicians can't even touch in their lifetime.

But in China, he was able to win the Morning Star Mathematics Award at the age of 18, which can be said to have broken the previous rules.

Because whether it is abroad or at home, academia is a place to talk about qualifications.

It's just that compared with foreign countries, domestic 'qualifications' are a little more special and serious.

Mathematicians who did not get the list of winners in advance were surprised that he could win the Morning Star Mathematics Prize at the age of eighteen.

This is known as the top mathematics award of the Chinese Fields. All previous winners are in their thirties, and almost none of them are younger than 30.

For example, Zhang Wei is thirty-five years old this year, and Li Si is thirty-eight years old this year.

In contrast, the age difference of this Xu Chuan is nearly doubled, almost twenty years younger. It is hard to imagine that he can win the Morning Star Mathematics Award at such a young age.

Although almost no one would deny that this laureate will definitely win the Morning Star Mathematics Award, or even the Fields Medal in the future, most of the participants did not expect that he would be able to win the Mathematics Conference this year. Just get this award.

What does this make other mathematicians who are already in their thirties, or even close to forty-five, still waiting?

For example, Professor Yin Wotao, who was accidentally squeezed out of the Morning Star Mathematics Gold Award by Xu Chuan this time, felt very uncomfortable.

For this Morning Star Mathematics Gold Award, he prepared a lot and visited many mathematicians.

According to the original historical trend, he could win the gold award this year, but Xu Chuan turned out to squeeze him directly to the silver award.

Although it is also the Morning Star Mathematics Award, there is a big gap between the gold award and the silver award. The former can be said to be the world's top mathematics professor, while the latter can only be said to be the top in China.

By the way, this Professor Yin Wotao graduated from the Department of Mathematics of Nantah University and is Xu Chuan's brother. He has made fundamental breakthroughs in sparse optimization, ill-posed inverse problems and compressed sensing, and has developed a number of optimization methods. Methods and algorithms, widely used in data science and engineering.

This kind of achievement is completely worthy of a Morning Star Mathematics Gold Award, but compared with Zhang Wei and Li Si, the achievement is still quite inferior.

The former is one of the popular candidates for the Fields Medal in 2018.

The latter constructed the quantization theory of topological string field theory, solved the "Landau-Ginzburg mirror symmetry conjecture", and made great achievements in mathematical physics.

As for Xu Chuan, it is even more incomparable. Weyl-Berry conjecture is a world-class mathematical problem. If Xu Chuan's achievements in mathematics are not a little monotonous and he is too young, the Fields Medal in 2018 must be His, not possible.

In this case, it is not wrong for him to be eliminated.

After all, academia is still a place where performance is emphasized. No matter how good the unspoken rules are, they cannot match the dazzling achievements of others.

After a brief silence, the applause sounded like thunder.

Although I was surprised that the Morning Star Mathematics Gold Award would be awarded to an eighteen-year-old boy in a break with the convention, many mathematicians in the audience were not unconvinced by the man standing on the stage.

He can prove the world-class mathematical problem Weyl-Berry conjecture, and his achievements have surpassed more than 99.99% of mathematicians.

Not to mention young scholars under the age of 40, even the vast majority of elderly scholars who have done mathematics research for 50 or 60 years have not achieved such achievements.

With applause, Xu Chuan got up and walked towards the stage along the red carpet.

"Congratulations, Xu Chuan."

On the podium, Qiu Chengtong took over the golden medal and the red certificate from Miss Etiquette, and presented them to the youngest winner of the Morning Star Math Award in history.

After receiving the medal and certificate from the old man, Xu Chuan bowed politely and thanked him.

Qiu Chengtong smiled, handed over the microphone in his hand, and said, "Let's talk a few words, the youngest winner in history, I guess no one will be able to break your award-winning age in the future."

Xu Chuan did not hesitate, took the microphone, and faced hundreds of mathematicians in the auditorium.

"First of all, I would like to thank my alma mater, Nanjing University, for the cultivation of me, and also thank the Huaguo Mathematical Society and the Morningside Mathematics Award jury for their affirmation."

"Students want to be recognized, especially those they respect. The Morningside Mathematics Award jury awarded me this award, which is a great encouragement to me."

"I hope to use every award as a boost to move forward and encourage me to look forward. I hope I can make more breakthroughs and achieve higher achievements on the road of mathematics and academics."

"Thanks."

His acceptance speech was very short, without too many speeches, and he did not make a generous speech. He just silently transformed the Morning Star Mathematics Award into his motivation and steps, and used it to pave the way for a broader mathematical world. .

slap...

In the auditorium, applause continued like a raging tide.

On the seat, Rong Zhizhuan, Dean of Nantah University School of Mathematics, looked at the young man on the stage approvingly. This is probably the best student since Nantah University was split.

On the side, Zhang Weiping applauded lightly, looked at Xu Chuan on the stage and sighed softly in his heart, he finally missed such a student.

But then he was relieved, it doesn't matter where he studies, as long as he doesn't bury his talent.

The youth is strong, the country is strong; the youth is wise, the country is wise; the youth is prosperous, the country is prosperous.

It doesn't matter if you don't study under him. At his age, he has seen a lot of things, and he is already calm about most things.

As for those things that are not bearish, and he still keeps paying attention, there is hope that he can see them in this young man.

There is nothing better than this.

Beside Zhang Weiping, Hu Xingjian stared at the stage dumbfounded, and only recovered from the thunderous applause in the auditorium, followed by violent applause.

The figure standing on the stage was several years younger than him, but he had already won the medal that he had longed for all his life.

That figure stood there quietly, but it left an indelible mark in his heart and brought him a goal to strive for.

When you are a teenager, no one will feel that they are inferior to others.

Hu Xingjian believed that he would also be able to stand on that stage one day.

PS: report the situation.

Good news: Yaoo should have almost recovered. The antigen test for two consecutive days was negative. Today, the community management came to do a nucleic acid test. If there is no problem, I can go out tomorrow.

There should be another chapter in the evening, but it may be later, after all, the status of codewords will not be restored so quickly.
