Rebirth of science and technology academic master

Chapter 115 Fields Medal (10th update)

CCTV4 international news channel is broadcasting the awards ceremony live.

The audience in front of the TV held their breath. Several special guests have been analyzing that two mathematicians from China were invited to give one-hour lectures, and all previous Fields Medals were born from mathematicians who gave one-hour lectures.

This means that China is expected to win the Fields Medal this year and achieve a breakthrough in the history of Chinese mathematics.

The Fields Medal is equivalent to the Nobel Prize!

So far, no one from China has won the Nobel Prize!

China at this time is not the China it will be ten years from now. Even though it has become the world's second largest economy and its military strength ranks among the top three in the world all year round, China is still not confident. They are eager to receive international honors and gain international recognition.

It is this mentality that in the Olympic Games, Chinese people are particularly concerned about gold medals. If they miss a gold medal, athletes will be scolded to death. If there is a breakthrough in any field and a gold medal, the athlete will be praised to the altar.

In the 2004 Athens Olympics, Liu Feiren won the gold medal in the 110-meter hurdles and was directly promoted to the altar. He was in the limelight for a while and competed with Yao on the celebrity list for four consecutive years. However, in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Liu Feiren was unable to compete due to injury. After the competition, he was pulled down from the altar and despised by countless people. He simply became a sinner of the country and the nation.

But you must know that Liu Feiren has won many honors for China internationally, and that is not a lie. Athletes, no one is injured, and there are many athletes who are unable to participate in the competition due to injuries.

At this time, perhaps feeling the intense gaze from the audience, the president of the International Mathematical Union smiled friendlyly at the audience.

After clearing his throat, he read out the award speech for the first winner in a solemn and steady voice: "He proved the basic lemma of the theory of automorphic forms in the Langlands program..."

A yellow-skinned man in the audience stood up in surprise. Qin Yuanqing looked over and knew that this was the French-Vietnamese 'Wu Baozhu', a world-famous mathematician. In 2008, he solved the general situation of the fundamental lemma, the fundamental lemma. The proof was selected by Time Magazine as one of the top ten scientific advances of 2009.

On the stage, after the award speech of the first winner was read out, the award speech of the second winner began: "He proved the conformal invariant of the plane Ising model and seepage in statistical physics... ..."

Not far from Qin Yuanqing, a Russian stood up in surprise and began to celebrate. Qin Yuanqing recognized this as the Russian mathematician 'Stanislav Smirnov', who had won the IMO Gold Medal Full Score Award for two consecutive years in Geneva, Switzerland. He works at the university and has won the Saran Prize, the Clay Mathematical Research Prize, the Davidson Prize, and the European Mathematical Society Prize!

Unexpectedly, Stanislav Smirnov won the Fields Medal at the age of 40 this year. If he misses this year, he will miss the Fields Medal for life.

When Stanislav Smirnov came to the stage to receive the Fields Medal, took a photo with the President of the International Mathematical Union, and gave a brief speech, he then withdrew, and the President of the International Mathematical Union began to talk about the third winner. Award citation for the winner: "He proved the nonlinear damping of Boltzmann's equation and its convergence to equilibrium..."

The third Fields Medal winner is the French mathematician Cedric Villani, who has been the director of the Poincaré Institute since last year and enjoys a high reputation in the world.

Qin Yuanqing couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Four people had already been awarded the Fields Medal. According to past practice, no more than four Fields Medals would be awarded in the past, which meant that there would be at most one winner left.

The President of the International Mathematical Union watched Cedric Villani walk off the platform with a smile, and then continued with the fourth winner’s award speech: “He is so young, surprisingly young, but his understanding and application of mathematical methods He has extremely high attainments, extraordinary ambition and never-ending curiosity!”

"In just one year, he turned Zhou's conjecture into the Zhou-Qin theorem, turned the twin prime number conjecture into the twin prime number theorem, and turned the hail conjecture into the hail theorem. His appearance in the past year has become a major milestone in the international mathematics community. The biggest discovery, his joining has injected fresh blood into the ancient and great subject of number theory, giving it new vitality."

"His appearance also troubled the jury, but in the end the jury unanimously agreed that he deserves the Fields Medal for his achievements!"

The chairman of the International Mathematical Union paused and announced solemnly: "The fourth winner is Qin Yuanqing from China!"

The moment the winners were announced, the atmosphere in the venue was instantly ignited.

20-year-old Fields Medal winner!

You must know that the youngest recipient of the Fields Medal was Jean-Pierre Serre from France in 1954, who was only 27 years old when he won the award!

And now, Qin Yuanqing has directly advanced this record by 7 years, which is simply disappointing for latecomers!

The thunderous applause was like an erupting mountain torrent, deafening and enlightening!

Upon seeing this, the chairman of the International Mathematical Union breathed a sigh of relief. This time, the jury was in dispute about Qin Yuanqing's choice. A very important reason was that Qin Yuanqing was too young, too young. At the same time, Qin, Yuan and Qing were still Chinese, so this would inevitably have political overtones.

But in the end, the president of the International Mathematical Union repeatedly emphasized that the Fields Medal only depends on achievements, and anyone under the age of 40 is eligible to receive it.

As for the additional reason, the chairman of the International Mathematical Union wants to get greater support from China so that the International Mathematical Union can develop better and better.

In the past, Chinese mathematicians did not produce outstanding results, so there is nothing to say. But now that it has been made, it can be said to be the most important mathematical achievement in the world in the past four years. There is no reason not to award it to Qin Yuanqing.

It wasn’t just the conference venue that was ignited.

At the same time when the chairman of the International Union of Mathematicians read out the name "Qin Yuanqing", the CCTV live broadcast room was filled with excitement.

"Qin Yuanqing, Qin Yuanqing won, he won the Fields Medal!"

"We in China finally gave birth to a Fields Medal winner!"

The guests and the host jumped with excitement.

The audience in front of the TV was also excited. After all, Qin Yuanqing is a household name in China, and his popularity is even greater than that of Chairman Yao. Everyone knows it. Now Qin Yuanqing has won the Fields Medal. Simple The people got excited one by one, and some even took out firecrackers and set off firecrackers to celebrate.

Jingtian, who was watching the live TV broadcast, heard that Qin Yuanqing won the Fields Medal. He jumped up happily and hugged his assistant. No one was more proud than her at this moment. Then Jingtian, who was so excited, took out On his cell phone, he sent a Weibo: " @Qin Yuanqing, congratulations to the male idol for winning the Fields Medal. I'm proud of you!!!"

As soon as it was posted on Weibo, the number of comments and reposts skyrocketed, and even the number of fans skyrocketed.

Jingtian quickly asked his assistant to book the best hotel and invite the entire crew to have dinner together to celebrate.

"Congratulations to God Qin, what a joy!"

"Congratulations to Academician Qin for winning the Fields Medal in one fell swoop and bringing glory to the country."

"I am so happy that I have won the Fields Medal. Is the Nobel Prize still far behind?"

"Awesome~~~No wonder Qin Shen became an academician of the two academies in one fell swoop, reaching the pinnacle of science!"

. . . . . .

The whole of China was in a state of excitement, and both those who were studying and those who were not studying were all having heated discussions.

For a long time, although the overall number of papers has continued to grow, the Chinese mathematics community has always been at the edge of the world.

A Fields Medal may not mean anything or explain anything.

But the brilliance blooming on that medal made countless people see confidence, future and hope from the new generation of scholars...

Qin Yuanqing won the Fields Medal at the age of 20 and was the youngest recipient. This is undoubtedly a very encouraging thing.

National pride and cohesion burst out at this moment.

If another mathematician, who was not well-known, suddenly won the Fields Medal, people might not be so enthusiastic about it.

But Qin Yuanqing was different. After winning the CMO gold medal and the IMO gold medal, he was the first in China to get the top score in science in all subjects. During the key college entrance examination, Qin Yuanqing was still restless. None of the subjects took more than one hour. Early in the exam The news of early submission was widely reported at the time, causing Qin Yuanqing to visit almost every home. After entering university, he proved Zhou's conjecture and the twin prime number conjecture in the first semester, and won the first prize of the National Natural Science Award. He was on the news network many times, and various news reports were never heard, making Qin Yuanqing known to many people. It is no exaggeration to say that every Chinese person knows this.

Qin Yuanqing + Fields Medal are simply a news harvester.

…

In the venue, the applause gradually subsided.

At this moment, Qin Yuanqing didn't know what happened in China when the chairman of the International Union of Mathematicians read out his name.

It's not clear how excited those people watching him are at this moment.

Surrounded by the eyes and cameras of the audience, he walked to the stage in formal attire and calmly received the Fields Medal from the hands of the chairman of the International Union of Mathematicians.

The old professor shook hands with Qin Yuanqing and sent congratulations on behalf of the International Union of Mathematicians.

"Congratulations, a scholar from China."

Qin Yuanqing smiled and nodded: "Thank you."

Then Qin Yuanqing delivered a speech. He had previously learned that he had a chance to win the Fields Medal. Once he won the Fields Medal, he would be the first Fields Medal winner in China. Qin Yuanqing naturally had to prepare a thank-you speech.

He first thanked the party and the country, then thanked his parents and teachers at the school, and everyone who helped him along the way. Then Qin Yuanqing reviewed his interest in mathematics, as well as his joy and experience in studying mathematics. Finally, Qin Yuanqing thanked the jury for awarding this award to him.

"I believe that the Chinese mathematics community will develop better and better, and China's second Fields Medal will not be too far away!" Qin Yuanqing said firmly.

The entire venue burst into warm applause.

First time updating so much! ! ! It will cost you your life, and you will have a liver attack later.
