Chapter 216 Going to present the award in person

With the growing controversy over the Wolf Mathematics Prize on the Internet, this situation has also caught the Wolf Foundation by surprise. In order to prevent the award from losing its authority in the academic world, the Wolf Foundation had to hold an urgent Council meeting to discuss the final decision.

"Everyone here is a member of the award committee, and it is about whether to disqualify Mr. Xu Yun from the award."

"I want to hear your opinion."

Israel.

Wolf Foundation headquarters.

In the meeting room, Ms. Winnes, who is the chairman of the board, is wearing a white lady suit and sitting at the head of the conference table, with the members of the award committee on both sides.

Last year, due to age issues, they did not award the award to Xu Yun who proved Hodge's conjecture.

A senior mathematics professor in the academic field was selected.

I thought it would not be too late to give Xu Yun an award after a few years, but who would have thought that the other party would solve the Goldbach conjecture again at the International Congress of Mathematicians.

And became the youngest Fields Medal winner.

Coupled with the proposed topological group theory, this makes their foundation very passive.

It seems that both fairness and gold content can no longer be compared with the Fields Medal.

Under such pressure, he had no choice but to present the award to Xu Yun in a hurry, hoping to keep up with the authoritative status of the Fields Medal.

As a result, the other party did not have time to come to receive the award, and some scholars asked him to disqualify him from the award.

To be able to sit here and participate in the meeting, everyone must be very clear about the situation, and someone will immediately express their attitude in the face of the chairman's inquiry.

Thoroughly open the box to create a discussion atmosphere.

"Dear Chairman, all awards are jointly determined by our awards committee and representatives of the academic community. They are judged based on the contributions made by the winners to the academic community. How can you cancel the award at will?"

"I would never agree to a cancellation."

"Mr. Xu Yun's contribution to the mathematics community is obvious to all. He should be awarded the Wolf Prize in Mathematics."

"Only awarding the award to Mr. Xu Yun can prove the authority of our Wolf Mathematics Award."

Several older council members must have been amazed by Xu Yun's mathematical talent, and their words were full of maintenance.

After all, the award was determined by them, and it would be embarrassing if it was canceled because of such a trivial matter.

But since this meeting is organized for discussion, it is impossible to have only one voice of support.

Otherwise, a specific response plan would have been formulated long ago.

And the fact is exactly the same. When the voices of the people on the side fell, they listened to the people on the other side to add.

"Xu Yun is indeed very talented in mathematics. He has solved two world mathematics problems in succession and created miracles, but since he refused to come to accept the award, it is equivalent to giving up automatically. It is normal for us to cancel his award qualification. About I believe no one in the academic world will say anything about this.”

"Many scholars from the outside world are now asking us to disqualify, and we must deal with it as soon as possible."

"I think he doesn't want to accept this award at all."

The endless debate between the two sides made the meeting room even more noisy, and it seemed that no satisfactory result could be reached in a short period of time.

Winnies has not been the chairman of the foundation for a long time, but she can be sure that this is the first time since the establishment of the Wolf Prize that someone can make the entire award committee argue to this point.

It was only a few days before the scheduled awards ceremony, and the problem had to be resolved before then.

Otherwise, if it affects the award ceremony, it will only reduce the authority and popularity of the Wolf Award.

As an international award that has been established for so long, she does not want problems in her hands.

After thinking for a while, she suddenly reached out and patted the table, forcing everyone present to quiet down.

"Everyone stop."

Although almost all the directors were much older than Winnis, no one underestimated this lady.

It can be said that the moment he heard these words, he immediately fell silent.

They all raised their eyes and looked at Winnis, wondering what decision the female chairman would make.

Taking everyone's gaze into her line of sight, Winniss took a deep breath, then slowly opened her mouth to make a final decision.

"We have to publish the awards we deserve. The scholars on the Internet are all from the neon mathematics community and have no status in the International Mathematical Union." After defining the matter first, she expressed her attitude: "Our Wolf Foundation I won't compromise with anyone."

Due to Winnie's status, the people who originally agreed to the disqualification stopped saying anything after this sentence fell.

However, this has raised new questions.

"Then how do we present an award to him? Is it possible to postpone the award ceremony until the other party has time?"

The so-called awarding is not only a necessary sense of ceremony, but also a proof of the authority of the award.

This is why the Fields Medal is announced every four years at the International Congress of Mathematicians.

If you choose to mail the medal directly to Xu Yun, it will appear that the Wolfe Mathematics Award is worthless.

But postponing the awards ceremony certainly won't work.

Before Winnis could respond, there were several voices of strong opposition in the conference room.

"How can the scheduled time be delayed?"

"It was postponed just for one person, and the Wolf Foundation has never had it since its establishment."

"Who can say for sure when he will have time, I disagree."

Seeing that the meeting room was in chaos again, Winnis couldn't help frowning slightly, and a little displeasure flashed across her face.

"okay."

"I've decided what to do."

Shen Sheng dropped this sentence, and then spoke out his decision.

"The award ceremony will be carried out according to the original plan, and I will go to Jingzhou City to present the award to Mr. Xu Yun in person."

This remark undoubtedly shocked the people present. Obviously, they did not expect that the chairman of the dignified Wolf Foundation would personally go to the city where the winners are located to present the awards.

This is definitely the first time in history.

But from the current point of view, this is indeed the most suitable solution, and the key is not to discuss disputes.

"It's the chairman."

With such a result, the other board members have no choice but to accept it and implement it as soon as possible.

After all, who made them unable to think of other better solutions.

The progress of the meeting is coming to an end here. Although the whole process did not take too long, at least the matter was finally resolved.

After answering, they got up and left one after another.

After a while, only Winnie and the female secretary beside her were left in the huge conference room.

"Are you the most gifted mathematician in the new century? I am very much looking forward to meeting you for the first time." Looking ahead but thinking about other things in his heart, he muttered softly before standing up and telling the secretary next to him: "As soon as possible Prepare the procedures for me to go to Jingzhou City, and also inform Mr. Xu Yun of the decision of our Wolf Foundation."

"Okay, Ms. Winnes." The blond female secretary responded.

...

...

The screen changes to Jingzhou University.

Xu Yun was not affected by the public opinion, and was still busy with the research of solid-state battery technology.

And has started the theoretical writing of the thesis.

Yesterday Han Xiaoya and her roommates came over. In order to thank them for their kind reminders, he also paid for the two girls to have a big meal out of his own pocket.

In addition, Chen Shihe also came over to care about the situation, and of course he unconditionally supported his practice of not accepting the award.

Chen Shihe is about to take on the role of wife, for her, she does not need Xu Yun to achieve much higher achievements.

Just have a good time together.

It is indeed easy to worry about going overseas to receive an award.

Originally, Xu Yun thought that this matter was over, and he had to start preparing for the New Year.

But I didn't expect to receive another email from the Wolf Foundation just a day or so later.

"Huh~"

"There's another email."

In the personal office of the Advanced Institute of Mathematics of Jingzhou University, Xu Yun sat by the computer and checked the literature.

Suddenly seeing the new pop-up email reminder, after discovering that the sender was still the Wolf Foundation, a question mark could not help but arise in my heart.

Is it really going to disqualify me from winning the award?

A thought flashed through his mind, but he didn't think much about it, he just moved the mouse and clicked in.

If he was just a little surprised just now, he was very surprised after roughly reading the content of the email.

"It's really unexpected that Chairman Winnis is going to come to Jingzhou City to hold awards ceremony at the same time."

Knowing from the email that the chairman of the Wolf Foundation is going to personally present him with the Wolf Prize in Mathematics, Xu Yun immediately got up and walked towards Qin Xiangxin's office while murmuring.

Since everyone has achieved this step, then he must receive this award.

However, it must be known that Jingzhou University has never held an award ceremony for an authoritative international mathematics award. Seeing that there are still a few days left, arrangements must be made as soon as possible so as not to lose face for the school and the domestic mathematics community.

They rushed over here to present the awards, if they treated them lightly, it would make the awards ceremony shabby.

It will inevitably give the outside world an excuse of not paying attention.

So I can only tell the school about this matter first, and let Qin Xiangxin, Wu Zhongping, Yuan Chengming and others handle it.

——

"Xiao Xu."

"You came just in time. Old Tang has brought up some new ideas on algebra. Please help me to explain."

Qin Xiangxin, who was surrounded by the writing board with Tang Yanshan and He Antai, was overjoyed when he saw Xu Yun coming over, and quickly waved his hands.

Although the Institute of Advanced Mathematics of Jingzhou University has only a few members for life, Xu Yun actually plays the leading role. They usually ask Xu Yun for advice when they encounter mathematics problems.

Although it was against the law for a professor to ask his own students for advice, after hearing Xu Yun's explanation, he immediately put these aside.

After all, to be able to give advice from a Fields Medal winner is such an opportunity that those college professors in China can't wait for.

Xu Yun originally wanted to talk about the awards, but he forgot to speak when Qin Xiangxin interrupted him.

Hearing this, he walked directly towards the writing board, and set his eyes on the mathematical formula written on it.

"Is Professor Tang studying the singularity theory recently? Let me take a look first."

Seeing that it was the singularity theory in algebraic geometry and complex geometry, Xu Yun casually took the marker pen from Qin Xiangxin and quickly calculated it directly on the clipboard.
