Reborn Technology Scholar

Chapter 236 Celebration Banquet

Five-star hotel grand banquet hall

Except for a few people who had time to leave on the same day, most of the people stayed to attend the banquet. This was not only a reception banquet for Shuimu University, but also a celebration banquet for Qin Yuanqing from Shuimu University.

Of course, in name, it is to provide an opportunity for scholars who have finally met once to meet and communicate.

Everyone was looking around, wanting to see Grothendieck. Fortunately, they could talk to Grothendieck during the banquet, even if they just said hello, they would be satisfied. Unfortunately, it was not until Qin Yuanqing walked into the banquet hall.

At that time, no one saw Grothendieck.

After confirming that the old man was indeed not attending the banquet, everyone focused on Qin Yuanqing, making Qin Yuanqing suddenly the focus of the audience.

With the proof of Goldbach's conjecture this time, Qin Yuanqing's status is undoubtedly among the top contemporary mathematicians. It belongs to the ceiling level and is an existence that major mathematicians need to look up to. Once Qin Yuanqing makes another breakthrough, then it will be

To become a being like Grothendieck, he belongs to the level of ancestor that every mathematician needs to burn incense and worship.

"Professor Qin, I am Harold Hoof, a researcher at the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris!" Harold Hoof came over with a bottle of champagne and blessed Qin Yuanqing: "Nice to meet you, your research

The results are surprising. To be honest, I just proved the weak Goldbach conjecture, but I don’t think I can hope to prove Goldbach’s conjecture in this life. I didn’t expect you to have solved it!”

"Harold, I'm glad to meet you too! I didn't expect you to have completed the weak Goldbach conjecture! I went to London to watch the Olympic Games last year. I originally wanted to visit the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris, but unfortunately I couldn't make the trip due to changes in my schedule.

I'm sorry!" Qin Yuanqing clinked glasses with Harold Heoff and took a sip!

Then he muttered secretly in his heart. He seemed to remember that in the previous life, it was Harold Hoof who proved the weak Goldbach conjecture and then asked him to make a big noise.

The Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris is a very famous university in Europe. It is a normal university. For more than two hundred years, it has trained countless outstanding teachers for France, including hundreds of academicians of the French Academy and 13 Nobel Prize winners.

, with 14 Fields Medal winners, it is an important research center in mathematics, science and philosophy in the world.

Mathematicians such as Laplace, Lagrange, Cauchy, Fourier, Monge, Galois, Legendre, and Hermite all came from the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris.

Unlike other universities, the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris only recruits more than 200 students each year. It is not eligible to issue diplomas, nor does it have the right to award national academic certificates. Students must register with the partner university to which the Normal University belongs.

Degree awarded.

It can be said that the École Normale Supérieure in Paris provides a truly elite education. Anyone who can enter the École Normale Supérieure in Paris can receive a lot of training. In the field of mathematics, École Normale Supérieure in Paris has always been a force that cannot be ignored. It was once unparalleled.

Brilliantly passed.

For example, the former Bourbaki school was born at the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris. It fully influenced and changed the development of mathematics in the 20th century and left its own mark.

If it hadn't been for the First World War, which caused the loss of about two-thirds of its students at the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris, the center of mathematics would have been in France and would not have been transferred to the United States. However, despite this, Grothendieck was in the Ecole Supérieure de France.

At the time of the institute, the United States was not a center of mathematics. After all, when the Pope of Mathematics was there, any devout believer would go to France to worship.

But even if the glory of mathematics at NU Paris is no longer there, it is already ranked among the top five in the world, and no one can ignore it. If a professor or researcher from NU Paris wins the Fields Medal, then don’t be surprised, because this is normal.

"Man, you did a great job, now let's see who else dares to underestimate the Chinese mathematics community!" Qiu Chengtong and Qin Yuanqing clinked their wine glasses.

Although he is not from China, he has never forgotten his roots. He has always been concerned about the development of Chinese mathematics and actively promoted exchanges between the Chinese mathematics community and the outside world. Even his students will reserve a few more places for Chinese students.

It can be said that his hard work and contribution to the development of the Chinese mathematics community cannot be denied.

Every year, he also takes some time to give lectures at Shuimu University to provide some ideas to mathematics researchers.

"I didn't expect you to prove Goldbach's conjecture. It's really impressive!" Tao Zhexuan also came over. At this report meeting, he clearly felt that the attitudes of many people had changed a lot.

Although Qin Yuanqing won the Fields Medal in the past, it was too short a time when Qin Yuanqing just came out. In the past two years, Qin Yuanqing's accumulation, relying on excellent results, and this time proving that Goldbach

Guess, Qin Yuanqing can be said to be powerful in people's hearts.

And by the way, the entire Chinese mathematics community has become an important force in the world of mathematics, and no one dares to look down on Chinese mathematicians as before.

Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

The same is true in the mathematics community. If your group is strong, others will not look down on you, but will look at you with envy. If your group is weak, then others will despise you and look down on you.

"Brother Tao, when will you give a lecture in Shuimu!" ​​Qin Yuanqing also smiled and communicated with Tao Zhexuan in Cantonese.

Hokkien is very similar to Cantonese, and those who know Hokkien can easily learn Cantonese.

Because they had met before, the two of them also communicated in Cantonese, which made them very happy.

Then there are other scholars, such as Wiles, Faltings and other Fields Medal winners. This time, more than 20 Fields Medal winners came to attend his lecture.

Every one of them is famous.

Although everyone who greeted him only took a small sip, by the time the banquet was over, Qin Yuanqing was already dizzy.

It was the bodyguard who sent him back.

After returning home, he drank several cups of tea and rested for a while before Qin Yuanqing recovered from his drunkenness.

On the news, today's news broadcast was being replayed, and it happened to be Qin Yuanqing's mathematics report. The background of the report was a photo of Qin Yuanqing closing his eyes slightly and opening his hands. The host reported: "Today, the two houses of our country

Academician and Vice President of Shuimu University Qin Yuanqing gave an academic report on the proof of Goldbach's conjecture in the auditorium of Shuimu University. More than 2,000 scholars from home and abroad gathered together..."

This news lasted for three minutes. What followed was not other news, but Grothendieck's appearance in the lecture hall. The news briefly introduced Grothendieck's status and presented a gift to Qin Yuanqing. The news continued again.

Two minutes.

The next news was nothing else. The dean came to visit Grothendieck in person and expressed his importance and respect for the world's top mathematician. The dean highly appreciated Grothendieck's outstanding contributions to human science. At the same time,

It means that Grothendieck is the common wealth of all mankind.

Qin Yuanqing shook his head. The news broadcast was only thirty minutes, and five minutes were related to him, which accounted for one-sixth of the time. The country really paid enough attention to proving Goldbach's conjecture.

After watching the news broadcast, Qin Yuanqing took a bath and slept in the guest room.

Just the thought of Grothendieck appearing at the lecture and presenting him with the manuscript made Qin Yuanqing feel so excited that he could not sleep.

To be honest, he and Grothendieck had never known each other. This was the first time they met. However, Grothendieck's appearance was beyond everyone's expectations. After all, since he retired that year,

He never appeared in public again,

Is it Hodge's conjecture?

Although the Hodge conjecture is a major unsolved problem in algebraic geometry, together with Fermat's last theorem and Riemann's hypothesis, it has become the carrier and tool of m-theory structural geometry topology that integrates general relativity and quantum mechanics.

But you must know that when Fermat's last theorem was proved, Grothendieck did not even show up. Hodge's conjecture is on the same level as Fermat's last theorem. With Grothendieck's identity and status,

In fact, Qin Yuanqing didn't really believe that he came here specifically for Hodge's conjecture.

Is it really just that I am getting old and my time is running out, and I feel a little regretful about my youth and want to find someone to solve the Hodge conjecture so that I will have no regrets in this life?

Qin Yuanqing couldn't help but think of this possibility.

Forget it, don’t think about it anymore!

Grothendieck was a weirdo, so well-behaved that it was hard to understand. He was regarded by mathematicians as the highest award in the field of mathematics. In 1966, he won the Fields Medal, but he refused to accept it. After the age of 40, he devoted himself more to

For environmental protection, he has become a radical ecological protector, becoming more and more independent and incomprehensible.

If you were in China, everyone would probably not understand how you, a good mathematician, could become a radical ecological protector and create a survival and living organization. You would not accept any honors from the mathematics community. This makes

How to straighten people up.

Judging from today's scene, although Grothendieck has been away from the academic circle for a long time, he is still recognized as the greatest and most influential mathematician in modern times. The profound theoretical system of modern algebraic geometry he founded has brought

The huge changes can be felt in almost all branches of core mathematics.

Yes, even Qin Yuanqing's blood boiled when he faced Grothendieck, and he also wanted to look up to Grothendieck. When he read Grothendieck's works, he was communicating and communicating with a giant in the field of mathematics.

Wisdom communicates the truth of the universe.

To be honest, Qin Yuanqing also regretted not being able to communicate with Grothendieck for a while. You must know that opportunities are like this. If you miss them, it may not be long before you receive the news of Grothendieck's death.
