Great Country Academician

At the exchange party, Xu Chuan and Artur Avila chatted for a while about automorphic forms and automorphic L-functions. After hearing Xu Chuan’s ideas, Professor Avila suddenly became interested and took him to talk about it together. These ideas try to be tested.

But the result is predictable. Neither of them is an expert in number theory, and the calculation got stuck after a while.

But Xu Chuan and Avila didn't care, which is normal.

In the mathematics world, when solving a difficult problem, especially this kind of world-class mathematical problem, even if an idea is feasible, it will take a long time to complete the verification.

Instead, Mo Kun, who came over together, stared at the preliminary deduced formula and the mathematical formula on the manuscript paper, lost in thought, not knowing what he was thinking.

As for Hu Xingjian, although he also followed, he could only act as the atmosphere group except for his bewildered expression.

The exchange tonight was a bit too esoteric for him as a graduate student. Even if this was the direction of his study and research, he couldn't keep up with the rhythm.

But tonight's exchange is a good opportunity for him, if he is interested in going further academically.

Even if you don't understand, it doesn't matter if you don't understand these verification processes. In this kind of communication with the Fields Medal masters, what you listen to is the thoughts and ideas of the big cows.

It is like using the regularity of the boundary points of the Dirichlet function to construct a function field with a regular boundary, and then introduce the curve equation by expanding the field, and limit the concept of the dual reduction group to the functor in the Langlands program Sexual conjectures make a breakthrough.

This is a complete line of thought, something that cannot be learned in school. Being able to hear this kind of thing is far more valuable than holding a book and slowly chewing on it alone.

Basic knowledge is always there and can be learned at any time, but such boundary-breaking theories and ideas are very rare.

Not everyone has the ability to explore the boundaries of knowledge and expand, most people do not have this ability.

Human knowledge is like an ocean, and it was the most narrow in ancient times. Those Homo sapiens might only watch the sun rise and set every day.

But human beings' natural curiosity drives people to explore.

From the phenomenon of lightning to make fire, to the process of drilling wood to make fire, and then to the principle of friction to generate heat.

A piece of knowledge and principles are continuously filled into this ocean, turning into bit by bit sea water to expand it bit by bit, expand its boundary, and finally evolve into a vast ocean of knowledge.

And every boundary extension, big or small, has great significance.

After receiving the Morning Star Mathematics Award, he took the stage to give a report on the proof process of the Weyl-Berry conjecture, and this Morning Star Mathematics Award was basically over.

For Xu Chuan, this World Congress of Chinese Mathematicians has gained a lot.

Not only won a Morning Star Mathematics Gold Award and 25,000 meters of gold, but also the inspiration and gains brought about by the exchange with Professor Artur Avila

It is a very pleasant and rewarding thing to exchange mathematics with top mathematicians.

This is why Xu Chuan would rather take some risks after his rebirth than go to Princeton to study mathematics.

It's true that math depends on talent, but talent won't solve all your problems.

Without Professor Avila's communication and discovery this time, he doesn't know how long it would take him to think of this. It might be years, decades, or even a lifetime.

After cashing the check in the bank, Xu Chuan sent an email to Professor Deligne in Princeton, saying that he would go to Princeton to study in the near future.

The email was quickly answered, and Professor Deligne welcomed him, and he will be waiting for his arrival in Princeton.

Before leaving, Xu Chuan went to the office of his mentor Chen Zhengping.

After all, if you are going to study abroad, you still have to say hello to the school.

"Mentor, I'm going to Princeton."

In the office, Xu Chuan said goodbye. Chen Zhengping put down his work and asked, "When are you leaving?"

"Tomorrow's ticket." Xu Chuan replied.

Chen Zhengping nodded and said, "Well, go ahead, you should go to a higher platform to gain more knowledge, I hope you can make more breakthroughs and achieve higher achievements in the future."

After a pause, Chen Zhengping continued: "I have never asked, after going to Princeton this time, which direction do you plan to develop? Do you want to continue in-depth research on spectral theory and domain extension, or do you have other learning directions?"

Xu Chuan thought for a while and said, "I still have a lot to learn. In terms of mathematics, I want to try turbulence, smooth flow, chaos, analysis, functions, and algebra."

"In terms of physics, particle physics should still be the starting point. I haven't solved the problem of the 'proton radius mystery' last time. I will continue to try to see if I can solve this problem."

"But in the near future, I may focus on number theory and self-conforming L functions."

Hearing Xu Chuan's so many answers, Chen Zhengping blurted out and wanted to persuade Xu Chuan to concentrate, but then held back.

According to common sense, a person's energy is always limited, and wanting to learn everything means that he can't learn anything, or he can't learn anything profoundly.

One hammer here and one mallet there, do a little bit of this thing, and a little bit of that thing. Doing everything is the biggest taboo in academic research.

But judging from current observations, this taboo seems to have failed for his disciple.

Not to mention the mathematics, the proof of the Weyl-Berry conjecture and the application of the Xu-Weyl-Berr theorem were all completed in just one year.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this may be genius.

But in the eyes of these academic insiders, this is simply a miracle.

It takes an incomparably long time for a world-class mathematical conjecture to be proven to become a mathematical theorem.

For example, it took Professor Andrew Wiles 7 years to prove Fermat's Last Theorem, and it took a long time to apply Fermat's Last Theorem to other mathematics.

After all, it will take a long time to fully understand and understand the proof process of Fermat's Last Theorem, and then transform it into one's own thing and use it flexibly.

Even if it is a mathematician in the same field, or even Professor Wiles himself, it will take at least one or two years.

However, for Xu Chuan, this theorem also failed. After completing the proof of the Weyl-Berry conjecture, he applied it proficiently in other fields in more than three months, which is simply beyond everyone's imagination.

In addition to his achievements in mathematics, his disciple also showed his talent in physics.

This does not refer to the IPHO gold medal, but to the 'Proton Radius Puzzle' problem.

Chen Zhengping knew that Xu Chuan was researching the 'Proton Radius Mystery'. The two of them had exchanged and discussed it, and he had also read some of Xu Chuan's subsequent data analysis.

He didn't dare to say that those things must be correct, but at least, he saw his disciple's physical skills in those data.

Although it is not comparable to the achievements in mathematics, it is really not bad to be honest. It is better than ordinary college students, graduate students, and even doctoral students.

This made Chen Zhengping very confused.

How did his disciple do it?

In less than a year, not to mention solving a world-class math problem, he also improved in physics, even exceeding his original expectations.

In addition, there are some achievements in the astronomical world. Although they mainly rely on mathematical calculations, if one does not understand astronomical knowledge, no matter how good mathematics is, it is useless.

Mathematics, physics, astronomy, blossoming on three sides.

How on earth is this done?

Perhaps, people are really different. In this world, there is indeed a kind of all-round genius who can break the common sense.

Thinking of this, Chen Zhengping swallowed back the words that had already stuck in his throat.

"It's good that you have learning goals. Go out this time and take good care of yourself. If you need anything, you can go to Lin Feng, don't be afraid of trouble."

Xu Chuan nodded and didn't care about it.

As long as the United States does not make a move, he is still very safe in Princeton.

"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing I forgot to tell you."

Chen Zhengping confessed a few words, then slapped his head and said, "I have an experiment and meeting at CERN in July this year, do you want to go and have a look?"

"The experiment you talked about last year?"

Xu Chuan suddenly remembered that Chen Zhengping had told him last year that this year he seemed to be going to the LHC in Europe to do experiments, and that if he could learn, he could take him there to gain insights.

"Well, it was supposed to be this month, but there was an accident at the back, which caused the subsequent experiments to be delayed by two months, and mine was delayed until mid-July."

"If you want to go, I will add your name to the project team. After having an experiment experience, you can apply to become an LHC intern or summer job later, and you can get in touch with the first-hand collision data. It will be of great help to you.”

"Including you are not researching the 'Proton Radius Mystery', with the work experience of the LHC, it is much easier to apply for the use of the proton collider."

Chen Zhengping nodded. Although his research direction has shifted from condensed matter physics and high energy physics to material physics in recent years, it does not mean that he has given up his original research direction.

Since his disciple still doesn't want to give up physics and is talented in particle physics, it's not bad that this experiment brought him a lot of knowledge.

And regarding the "proton radius mystery", maybe you can take this opportunity to apply for a collider in the Atomic Energy Laboratory.

There is no hope for the large-scale intense particle collider LHC, but the European Atomic Energy Experiment is not limited to this collider, there are also small and medium-sized colliders, and the performance should be enough for Xu Chuan to complete experiments in this area.

Even if you can't jump in the queue this time, with this experimental work experience, subsequent applications will be much easier.

There are still many benefits.

"Teacher, please bring me one. Please send me the specific time. I will go directly from Princeton."

Xu Chuan agreed, and if he had the opportunity to observe the European Atomic Energy Laboratory, he would definitely go.

It is the world's largest large-scale strong particle collider. More than half of the world's high-energy physics achievements come from the LHC. His high-energy physics achievements in his previous life are basically related to the LHC.

And this time in the past, maybe I can find an opportunity to apply for a proton collider, and do two experiments to collect data on the "proton radius mystery".

He didn't expect to solve this problem with a single experiment, but at least there had to be a push, didn't he?

It is convenient to continue to apply for the use of other people's colliders if there is progress and results.

It had to be said that he and Chen Zhengping wanted to go together.
