Chapter 115 Fields Medal (10th update)

The cctv4 international news channel is broadcasting the awards ceremony live.

The audience in front of the TV held their breath. Several special guests kept 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 gain international honors and gain international recognition.

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

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 honors for China in the international arena, and that is not a lie. Every athlete 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 in front of 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 Wu Baozhu, a French-Vietnamese, 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 started celebrating. Qin Yuanqing recognized that this was 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, gave a brief speech, and then stepped down, 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 trend 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 believed that his achievements deserved the Fields Medal!"

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 Yuanqing was from China.

, this will 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 sufficiently outstanding results, so there was nothing to say. But now that they have done so, it can be said to be the most important mathematical result in the world in the past four years, and there is no reason not to award it to Qin Yuanqing.

It wasn’t just the venue of the conference 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 host all jumped up excitedly.

And the audience in front of the TV were all 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 all got excited 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

mobile phone, and sent a Weibo: "@青元清, congratulations to the male idol for winning the Fields Medal, I am proud of you!!!"

As soon as the post was posted on Weibo, the number of comments and reposts skyrocketed, and even the number of followers 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, making him 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 scorer 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 of the paper was widely reported at the time, and Qin Yuanqing entered almost every school. After entering university, he proved Zhou's conjecture and the twin prime conjecture in the first semester, and won the first prize of the National Natural Science Award. He was awarded the prize many times.

Thanks to the news broadcast, all kinds of news reports are constantly heard, which makes Qin Yuanqing known to many people. It is not an exaggeration to say that every Chinese person knows it.

The Qin, Yuan and Qing Fields Medals are simply a harvester of news.

…

In the venue, the applause gradually subsided.

At this moment, Qin Yuanqing did not 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 were 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 medal from the hands of the president 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 school, and everyone who helped him along the way. Then Qin Yuanqing reviewed his interest in mathematics, as well as the joy and experience of studying mathematics. Finally, Qin Yuanqing thanked the jury

This award is awarded 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.
