The top student must be diligent

As for Evans' question, Bergeron seemed to have already realized it. He smiled and said: "There is no mistake in marking, it is that paper, written by a high school student. You just need to review it carefully and reply in addition." Don’t use templates to reply to emails from time to time, just make some comments and explain the advantages and disadvantages.”

Evans suddenly said helplessly: "This paper... needs to be reviewed carefully? Do you want to comment on it? I suspect that I won't want to continue reading after reading the abstract."

Bergeron laughed and said, "Anyway, this is something you have to go through every day when you go to work. It won't be a problem if you go through it again."

"The main thing is that the person who called me was Mr. Hu, who had come to visit and study with us before. He is also from China. He and I have a good relationship. According to what he said, this is a paper he found written by a mathematical genius. , maybe you can really read this paper?"

"How about we bet 50 euros?"

Evans twitched his lips, okay, he figured it out. It was purely because Bergeron didn't think this paper could be very good, but because it was an old friend's request, he couldn't shirk it, so he came over. Tortured him.

Hmm... these 50 euros were probably given to him, probably considered compensation?

"All right."

After accepting this "bet", Evans returned to his seat and read the paper in front of him again.

David, a colleague next to him, asked, "Why did you go to the editor-in-chief?"

Evans pouted at the computer screen in front of him, "For a paper submitted by a high school student, Bergeron gave me 50 euros and asked me to think about how to reject the manuscript without hurting the high school student. Self-confidence.”

David understood immediately and patted him on the shoulder, showing a sympathetic expression.

it is more than words.

Evans didn't bother to say more and started to look.

He wanted to see how good this paper, which Mr. Hu called a "genius", was.

It just so happened that his doctoral thesis was in the area of ​​distant Abelian geometry, which is probably why this thesis was assigned to him by Bergeron.

However, Evans had already begun to think about how to politely reject the manuscript so that his old friend, editor Bergeron, could live with his face. However, as he began to read the paper, all these distracting thoughts Just disappeared.

This paper seems...

It’s not ridiculous at all, on the contrary, it’s very good!

Looking at the rigorous derivation and narrative in the paper, Evans' eyes gradually widened.

…

Please collect it, please recommend it, please give it a monthly pass, and please keep reading! !

Chapter 44 A new star is about to rise in the world of mathematics

As a mathematician who was born in France and works at the French Institute of Advanced Sciences, Evans is very familiar with algebraic geometry. After all, the father of modern algebraic geometry, Grothendieck, once worked at their French Institute of Advanced Sciences. To a certain extent, they are all colleagues.

As for far-Abelian geometry, as a niche direction in algebraic geometry, Grothendieck also received a lot of attention after developing it, which eventually attracted young people like Evans to start studying it.

Although after graduating from graduate school, he no longer focused all his attention on far Abelian geometry.

Because it is really difficult to find, and I couldn’t find much when I searched for literature on the Internet.

However, the paper in front of him made Evans marvel in his heart.

It turns out that far Abelian geometry can still be studied in this way!

"That's right... the mapping f : T→T' to another topological space is continuous. As long as the composite S→T→T' is a compact Hausdorff space S for all compact Hausdorff spaces S that map to T, the topological space T can be compactly generated... …”

"The image of M → L/pL for any n is contained in a finite type of module on Ck... Why is this?"

"Well, that's it. Think about it in terms of nuclear Banach space. The nuclear Banach space has finite dimensions. For any open lattice LV, the space V∈CK is called a core, and there is another open lattice M L such that Completion of canonical mapping between VM→VL!"

"What a wonderful proof!"

He couldn't help but marvel in his heart.

What a brilliant idea the author of this paper must have to think of such a step!

From this simple step, he seemed to be able to feel the genius way of thinking of the author of this paper, just like Grothendieck!

In their eyes, mathematics seems to have countless angles for them to peek into its mysteries.

Evans felt genuine envy.

And this kind of envy also made him immersed in this paper unknowingly.

Time passed quietly until half an hour later.

"Hey Evans, what are you doing?"

Suddenly, a surprised voice came from David, a colleague next to Evans.

What did he see?

Evans actually took out a piece of scratch paper and calculated things on it!

Evans came to his senses and then explained: "Oh, I am reviewing the manuscript. This paper is very well written, but there are some parts that I really can't understand if I don't do the calculations myself."

"This won't work either! You should know better!"

David said to him with a warning look.

Evans immediately realized what his colleague was warning him about.

His behavior would be regarded by those with ulterior motives as an attempt to plagiarize the contributor!

This situation happens too often in the academic world. Journal editors are the first people to get access to the contributor's papers and are also the most likely to plagiarize the contributor's wisdom.

And his behavior just now obviously has such a serious suspicion.

If there were other petty people present who saw it and reported it directly, even if he didn't do it, it would definitely be a bad thing.

After breaking out in a cold sweat, he hurriedly thanked his colleague.

"Thank you, David, for reminding me. I'll buy you a drink later."

When he heard that there was wine to drink, David laughed: "It's okay, we are colleagues."

But then, he asked with some doubts: "But what kind of paper are you reading that can attract you? Didn't you just say that you want to read the high school article that Bergeron gave you?"

"Uh..."

Hearing this, Evans was stunned, and embarrassment appeared on his face, "I'm reading... that paper now."

"What?" David was stunned. Didn't Evans just say that he was thinking about how to reject this paper?

Why is he reading this paper so seriously now?

He suddenly realized something and asked: "How much did Bergeron give you?"

"50 euros..."

As soon as he said it, Evans "pooh" out.

"Merde (Fuck)! Now it's my turn to give him 50 euros!"

"What? You're not stupid from reading papers every day?"

David was stunned. In this day and age, there are still people who pay others to read papers?

It's still 50 euros!

This is enough for him to sit in the bar for a whole night.

Evans wanted to cry but had no tears.

He originally thought that Bergeron gave him 50 euros, but according to the bet, this paper was so well written that it was obviously his bet that he lost.

He even had to treat David to a drink later!

What a loss.

"Or were you cheated by Bergeron? Let's go find him!" David next to him was still talking, and he was going to help Evans get the money back.

He thought that if Evans got the money back, he could treat him to a few more drinks when he treated him to a drink.

"This..."

But Evans hesitated, he turned around and took another look at the paper, "Forget it, let me finish reading this paper first."

David was stunned, and for a moment he didn't understand: "What are you doing? That's 50 euros, and this paper is so poorly written, what do you think?"

"You are wrong, this paper is written... very well." Evans said.

David was shocked: "How good can a high school student write a paper? It actually attracted you. I remember you graduated from the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris!"

"You will know when you come and take a look."

Evans pointed to the paper in front of him.

David did not believe it and came forward to read it, but soon, he was defeated.

He said awkwardly: "I... don't understand it very well. I don't understand Abel very well either."

Evans smiled, "This is normal, because even I find it quite difficult to read. There are many things I don't understand and I just skip them directly."

"The methods and theories used by this high school student in this paper are far beyond my imagination. If he hadn't written it in enough detail and there were no "obvious" steps in it, I would definitely not have read it so carefully."

"This..."

David was shocked.

Evans graduated from the Department of Mathematics of the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris. The mathematics department of this school can almost be called the best mathematics department in the world, which is enough to show how excellent Evans' talent is.

As a result, even he couldn't quite understand this high school student's paper?
