Rebirth of science and technology academic master

Chapter 275: The sought-after student

Institute of Mathematics, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

In the office located in a corner of the institute, watching the interview about Qin Yuanqing on TV, Xi Nanhua couldn't help but sigh: "Academician Qin won the second Fields Medal in the blink of an eye. It's really amazing!"

Xi Nanhua is 51 years old. He has been working at the Institute of Mathematics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences since he was a postdoctoral fellow in 1990. In 1994, he was elected as an Outstanding Young Scholar at the age of 31. In 2005, he won the Chen Shengshen Mathematics Award. In 2009, he was elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He has great experience in algebra. He has conducted in-depth research in the fields of groups and quantum groups, and is among the top in this field in China.

As a mathematician, Xi Nanhua naturally dreams of winning the Fields Medal, but the reality is cruel. After a lifetime of hard work, he failed to even make it to the 30-minute lecture of the International Congress of Mathematicians.

"So, mathematics is a field that requires the most talent. If you don't have talent, no matter how hard you try, you won't be able to achieve any great results!" Academician Lu said with emotion.

As an 80-year-old man, Academician Lu was sincerely happy for Qin Yuanqing when he saw that he had won the Fields Medal again.

The highest honor that a mathematician under the age of 40 can receive is the Fields Medal. People like Qin Yuanqing were able to break the rules of the International Mathematical Union and allow Qin Yuanqing to win the Fields Medal for the second time, and he only enjoyed this honor in this year. The award is unique in its nearly 100 years of existence.

As for the Chen Shengshen Award, this is a lifetime achievement award and has nothing to do with young scholars under the age of 40.

Originally, the Wolf Prize in Mathematics was an award for lifetime achievement, but the previous award to Qin Yuanqing broke the unspoken rules, causing many scholars to start thinking about this award.

Wang Yuan sighed and said: "In the past, the mountain of the Yan Department was something that everyone was afraid of. Everyone wanted to move it away. As a result, the Yan Department was gone, but the Shui Mu Department has risen again, and it is still so strong. If this continues, the Shui Mu Department will The department will rule China for half a century!"

Academician Wang Yuan graduated from the Department of Mathematics of Zhejiang University. He is the former director and director of the Institute of Mathematics. He is now a researcher and doctoral supervisor!

Coming from Zhejiang University, he naturally has a lot of affection for Zhejiang University, and the mathematics department of Zhejiang University is also ranked among the top ten universities in the country. He has been helping the mathematics department of Zhejiang University.

Before 2010, the Department of Mathematics at Yanda had the highest status in Yanda, and it has always been at the top of all majors at Yanda. Its number is 001, which is the foundation of Yanda. Over the years, Yanda has won almost all CMO gold medals and IMO gold medalists, which gives Yanda a dominant position in the Chinese mathematics community.

The strong position of the Department of Mathematics at Yenching University has overwhelmed the mathematics departments of other universities in the country. I don’t know how many people are thinking about dismantling the Department of Mathematics at Yenching University.

But things started to change in 2010. Qin Yuanqing rose up strongly and came out of nowhere. With one fell swoop, he raised the Shuimu Mathematics Department to several levels. He directly replaced the Mathematics Department of Yan University and even made the Shuimu Mathematics Department higher. Ranked among the top five majors in mathematics at world-famous universities.

One person is a genre!

One person is a force!

This is what Qin Yuanqing is talking about!

No matter how many academicians, outstanding young people, and Yangtze River scholars you have, they are all useless and will be crushed directly. I don’t know how many academicians and professors in the Mathematics Department of Yanda are crying.

And the source of students is even more simple. It doesn’t matter how good the conditions offered by Yan University are. People are just unwilling to accept special recruitment and special admissions. They want to learn from Qin Yuanqing and get into Shuimu through the college entrance examination route. This makes Shuimu The quality of the mathematics department ranks first among major universities.

What makes other mathematics departments in the country despair is that Qin Yuanqing is only 24 years old and already holds two Fields medals. It is no exaggeration to say that as long as Qin Yuanqing is around, no one can shake the Shuimu Mathematics Department. And with Qin Yuanqing's age, Not to mention other things, if you live to be 74 years old, it means that the Shuimu Mathematics Department will dominate Chinese mathematics for half a century!

"Old Wang, no one can recruit Academician Qin, but there is no problem in hiring his students!" said Academician Lu.

"That's right, three of Academician Qin's students received the Outstanding Youth Award just after graduating from Ph.D., and it seems that Academician Qin has no intention of leaving all his students in Shuimu!" ​​Academician Wang Yuan nodded slightly.

"As soon as his Russian female student entered Beihang University, Beihang University made great efforts to get her a Chinese citizen, and she was also awarded an Outstanding Youth Award. It is said that many professors at Beihang University admired her." Xi Nanhua said: "You said we will be here next year Aren’t we also looking for a few young mathematicians?”

"This is what we need. We old guys are already in our 70s and 80s. Maybe we will go there at some time. It is still necessary to maintain the vitality of the institute!" Academician Wang Yuan said.

"But you have to hurry up. I heard that a few old friends have already written letters of recommendation for the Thousand Talents Program!" Academician Lu said.

"So fast!?"

"It's not that they moved quickly, it's that we moved slowly!" Academician Lu shook his head and said, "Some outdated systems should be changed. Times have changed, and we can no longer ask others to live a hard life!"

. . . . . .

Qin Yuanqing didn't know that his student had not graduated yet and was already being targeted by all parties. At this moment, he was walking around the venue with great interest, listening to some reports and learning about the hot topics and cutting-edge positions of today's mathematics research.

The charm of the Mathematicians Conference is that it brings together a large number of mathematicians to communicate and share together. This is an exchange of wisdom and inspiration.

Although Qin Yuanqing has reached level 15 in mathematics, it can be said that there is no known mathematics on earth that can stump him, but it does not mean that he knows everything and would not know it without studying it.

For example, Qin Yuanqing is currently listening to a 45-minute academic lecture. The speaker is Schulz, a German mathematician. He is introducing the concept of nearly complete space that he once proposed and the results of his research in the past two years.

Qin Yuanqing had also heard of Schultz, a young mathematician who was known as the leader of young German mathematicians and the successor of Faltings!

He proposed the concept of seemingly complete space and systematized a series of basic theories pioneered by Faltings and others.

He applied geometric methods to the field of algebra and was called "one of the most promising framework systems for algebraic geometry in the next few decades"!

Qin Yuanqing also had to admit that Schultz was indeed a talented mathematician and a young man with great ideas. This talent was unmatched by Qin Yuanqing's disciples.

"Academician Qin, how are you? This Schultz is known as the 'Little Qin Yuanqing' in Germany, and he has won several mathematics prizes!" Tao Zhexuan said awkwardly, speaking in unauthentic Mandarin.

"Really!" Qin Yuanqing touched his chin and looked at Schultz who had finished his report: "He is indeed a talented young man, just a little bit worse than you!"

"It's true that you can speak Mandarin now, which surprises me!" Qin Yuanqing was surprised that Tao Zhexuan spoke Mandarin. He and Tao Zhexuan were very familiar with each other. After all, they both represented the Chinese mathematics community and the exchanges were very frequent. He knew that Tao Zhexuan Before, I could only speak Cantonese, not Mandarin.

Tao Zhexuan said sheepishly: "I signed an agreement with Zhejiang University some time ago. Next year I will teach in the Department of Mathematics of Zhejiang University and serve as the dean of the School of Mathematics of Zhejiang University!"

Qin Yuanqing was startled.

Good guy, Zhejiang University unknowingly built such a large satellite, and he didn't even hear about it. It seems that Zhejiang University has put a lot of effort into it this time.

Tao Zhexuan has been a professor at the University of California, Los Angeles since he was 24 years old. He won the Fields Medal in 2006 at the age of 31. Although he did not solve a millennium problem, he is definitely a math master. He is doing harmonious analysis and nonlinear analysis. His attainments in partial differential equations and combinatorial theory are definitely among the best in the world.

It is definitely impossible to invite such a math master to Zhejiang University without enough sincerity from Zhejiang University!

"Brother Tao, China has developed very fast in the past thirty years. You will not be disappointed here!" Qin Yuanqing and Tao Zhexuan hugged each other and said sincerely.

Qin Yuanqing welcomed talents who could return to China.

China's development needs talents!

Huaxia Mathematics cannot be as strong as the United States by relying on him alone. It requires the unity of all parties to push the strength of Huaxia Mathematics forward.

Qin Yuanqing’s report will be a one-hour report. His report attracts many people to listen. After all, Qin Yuanqing’s report never disappoints. Every time you attend Qin Yuanqing’s report, you will always gain something!

During the question and answer session, Schultz raised his hands high.

Qin Yuanqing was a little surprised. What he was talking about was analytic number theory, while Schulz's research direction was algebraic geometry. Why did he come to listen to his report? However, Qin Yuanqing still gave Schulz the dignity to ask questions.

"Professor Qin, this is it. I have a question and want to hear your opinion." Schulz said: "For the elliptic curve E defined on a finite field, the most general Hasse-Weil-L function should be algebraic Automorphic L functions of GLn on the number field, and these automorphic L functions can be uniquely decomposed into the product of "standard" L functions."

"That's an interesting statement. If I guess correctly, it's probably about the direction of algebraic geometry!" Qin Yuanqing smiled lightly and said, "Then what do you want to ask me?"

It stands to reason that the content of Qin Yuanqing's report is now on analytic number theory, so he can refuse questions unrelated to the content of the report. However, Qin Yuanqing was still very interested in Schultz and did not refuse.

"I want to know 'why'!" Schultz said.

"Then I'm sorry, I can't answer you directly why. Although it's not difficult, it will take me three or four days to study it!" Qin Yuanqing said.

And Schulz, who just asked the question, was directly hit. Peat, is this what people say, what do you mean three or four days! ?

You know, I, Schulz, have been researching for four years and still haven’t figured it out yet! You can do it in three or four days, isn’t that bragging!

Schultz wanted to go further, but Qin Yuanqing had already asked other questioners to ask questions. Schultz resisted the impulse in his heart, otherwise, if he continued like this, he would give others the impression that he was very rude.

I will update three chapters now, and I will update another three chapters in the afternoon! ! There are four chapters left to be updated tonight!
