The End of Technology

It may not be accurate to say that all professors in the School of Mathematics at Yanbei University are masters of Chinese mathematics. But these professors who were invited by Fan Zhenhua to have dinner together definitely deserved this praise. At this time, it is actually very simple to inquire about their inner feelings, just look at their expressions.

There are not many professors who are really academics who are good at concealing their emotions. The main reason is that most professors don't bother to wear a mask for themselves.

Just like many people like to comment on whether someone has IQ but not EQ, but in fact, for people with real high IQ, EQ is just a relative concept. If they are willing, at least the breadth of knowledge and knowledge will definitely make ordinary people feel like a spring breeze. I just find it interesting to talk to the boss about anything. It’s just that not many people can enjoy this kind of treatment.

At this time, most of the professors in the School of Mathematics were looking at each other.

It’s not that I don’t understand the professional terms Ning Zhe said, but it’s precisely because I understand them that I don’t know how to speak. These are areas that an undergraduate student... no, should it be said is a young person who has just received high school mathematics education?

It is not an exaggeration to say that the things Ning Ju spit out, including symplectic topology, gauge fields, etc., even if a doctoral student wants to propose a topic, the doctoral supervisors here must carefully examine whether their students have a solid foundation and whether they have any That talent to study these directions. After all, differential geometry and mathematical physics have always been one of the most difficult directions in mathematical research.

This difficulty is still two-way. It is difficult to understand and equally difficult to calculate.

Of course, Ning Zi felt the change in the professors' gazes, and also found that almost half of the professors' gazes were focused on Academician Fan, and the other half were focused on the man sitting diagonally opposite him who wore gold-rimmed glasses and looked young. young professor.

This time someone spoke again: "Hey, Professor Fang, Professor Liu went out to study today and couldn't come. I remember that your recent thesis report was on the study of Gromov-Witten invariants. It's just a good time to communicate with our classmate Ning Ji. "

Sure enough, the professor with gold-rimmed eyes smiled slightly, and then said: "Since Professor Chen said so, why don't we discuss it, Ning? Let me tell you first, what I have been studying recently is 0-dimensional, 2-dimensional Dimension and 4-dimensional symplectic submanifolds, and proofs of some transformation formulas when expanding Gromov-Witten invariants during symplectic expansion surgery. Xiao Ning should understand, right?"

Ning Zi nodded, and then asked: "Are you mainly using the degeneracy formula to prove it?"

Fang Xu was slightly stunned, nodded, and said, "Well, for now, the most convenient thing is the degradation formula, right?"

Ning Zi nodded, then shook his head slightly and said, "I can't say that completely. I can introduce you to a method, um... it's called Ning's segmentation method. It can be used in conjunction with the degeneracy formula to make the proof process easier. Get twice the result with half the effort.”

"Uh..." Obviously this answer was something Fang Xu didn't expect, and he didn't know how to answer it for a moment.

However, Ning Zi looked at Fan Zhenhua and asked, "Do you have paper and pen?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Fan Zhenhua replied immediately, then stood up and took out a stack of paper and pen from the briefcase on the box cabinet, returned to his seat and handed it to Ning Zi.

Others watched this scene with great interest, especially Chen Yonggang.

As the president of the Physical Education University, he actually didn't have a very clear idea of ​​Ning Zi's abilities. He knows that the "Annals of Mathematics" is a very good publication, and it is difficult for ordinary mathematics professors to publish articles in it, but this is all the result of Baidu.

He knew that Ning Zi must be very powerful, but he didn't have an intuitive understanding of how powerful he was. At least not as deep as other professors studying mathematics at the scene, but now this understanding is more intuitive. For example, he had no idea what these people were talking about, he just felt confused.

Of course, this is normal. The cutting-edge research directions of modern mathematics are like a sacred book to 90% of people. There are countless proper nouns that people who have not studied this field in depth have never heard of. Many formulas are named after the inventors or to commemorate the contributions of these mathematicians to this research direction.

For example, the Gromov-Witten invariant mentioned by the two people, the former Gromov refers to the former Wolf Prize winner Mikhail Gromov, and the latter witten refers to the Fields Medal winner Edward Witten.

But if you really want to explain the Gromov-Witten invariant, it is particularly complicated. The less accurate explanation of the once classic Gromov-Witten invariant can be said to be the modulus space of a pseudo-holomorphic mapping from a closed Riemann surface to a symplectic manifold. A special structure constructed.

This involves Riemannian geometry, symplectic geometry, and other things that make people's heads tingle just looking at them. It falls into the category of academic research where most candidates for open-book exams don't know where to copy.

But now Ning Zi wants to provide a new idea and mathematical tool to professors who specialize in this direction...

At this time, Chen Yonggang really didn't know whether their new student from the University of Physical Education was ignorant and fearless, or whether he was really capable far beyond his imagination.

But he was not in a hurry. He would know it later by looking at the expressions of the professors.

This is really interesting!

…

Chen Yonggang's judgment was obviously correct.

Just when Ning Zi took the paper and pen, lifted the tablecloth, and began to immerse himself in writing, Fang Xu couldn't help but stood up from his seat, walked directly behind Ning Zi, and stood there with Fan Zhenhua to read. .

He had no choice but to misunderstand Ning Zi's "Ning's division method". He thought that Ning Zi meant that this was his own mathematical tool or method, so he named it after his own surname.

What kind of achievement is this?

How dare this little guy?

Fang Xu showed good self-control by holding back and not refuting.

Counting from the beginning of his Ph.D., Fang Xu has been studying mathematical physics for twelve years, and he is still not qualified to name a certain mathematical theory or tool after his own name! What the hell is this Ning's division method?

Obviously this is a misunderstanding.

Ning Zi just demonstrated the method that March told him truthfully. The owner of March happened to be named Ning. What could he do? You can't change your last name just to avoid suspicion, right?

Of course, Ning Zi didn't actually think so much. He only remembered what Yue Yue told him. Showing himself appropriately would help him get more resources. This is probably an appropriate display, right? After all, the other person happened to be talking about this topic, so he just followed the trend...

So, soon there were more and more professors behind Ning Zi...

There was no way, Chen Yonggang was not the only one who could read people's faces. When the professors saw that the expression on Fang Xu's face became solemn, he began to think deeply from time to time, and even began to scratch his head unconsciously, they were more curious than the president of the National Sports University...

what? Can what this kid writes really help guide Lao Fang’s research? ! That's really strange.

This kind of thing must be seen first!
