Princeton University.

"Annual Journal of Mathematics" editorial board.

The editors are earnestly working on the work at hand, but sometimes they will occasionally turn their eyes to the door of a separate office next to them.

That's where their editor-in-chief, Professor Sarnak, is located in the office of the Annals of Mathematics.

The editors all know that Professor Sanak has been reviewing the manuscript that proved Adama's conjecture for more than a month.

Basically, I seldom read other manuscripts.

Of course, this is mainly because there are no other interesting manuscripts during this period.

As for the review, it will take more than a month, which is very normal.

Each paper in their Mathematics Annual has been reviewed for almost several months, including the time to contact the reviewers, etc., not to mention that this paper is still a proof of a conjecture more than a hundred years ago That is, the reviewers will confirm it directly, otherwise it is normal not to mention a month or two, or even longer.

"Squeak~"

Suddenly, the closed door of that office was opened.

The editors saw Sanak come out of it.

Professor Sanak's face was full of sighs.

What's going on here?

They were puzzled.

Mike was closer, so he asked with a smile: "Professor Sanak, why do you look happy?"

Sanak laughed, "Of course it's because we are happy that another problem in the mathematics community has been solved."

The editors were taken aback when they heard Sanak's words, and then immediately realized what Professor Sanak was talking about.

Mike immediately asked pleasantly: "You mean...that paper was a success?"

Sanak nodded with a smile.

"After more than a month of my review, I can basically confirm that there is no problem. Of course, I still need to discuss it with Professor Deligne." Sanak said.

Then he stepped forward to leave the editorial department, but when he just walked to the door, he suddenly remembered something, turned around and said: "Also, there will be a vacancy for the article in the September issue, if it goes well , I will decide to have this paper published in September!"

Hearing Professor Sanak's order, the editors present all nodded.

It's just that they couldn't help but marvel in their hearts. They submitted the manuscript in July and published it in September.

Such a publication speed is really astonishingly fast.

At least among all the published manuscripts of their "Annual of Mathematics", this speed is very fast, comparable to the treatment of those big cows.

Because of the big cows' papers, they occasionally don't need to find reviewers, they pass directly, and then they can be published in the next issue.

But it is quite rare for this to happen to a young person.

How good is this thesis?

These editors couldn't help but think in their hearts.

Of course, Professor Sanak didn't care what the editors thought.

He left the office, drove a classic car of the last century, and left here.

Professor Deligne is generally not in the school, but in another place called the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study.

The Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton and Princeton University are not considered as one institution. One is a university and the other is an academic research institution. Of course, in terms of relationship, these two institutions are actually closely related as a whole.

So the distance between the two is also very close. Professor Sanak drove the car and arrived in a short time.

After entering, he quickly found the office where Professor Deligne was.

Knock on the door, "Come in" came from inside.

Sanak walked in, and saw Professor Deligne holding a printed paper in his hand, leaning on his office chair and looking at it, his eyes full of appreciation.

"Oh? Pete, here you come."

Seeing Sanak coming, Deligne greeted with a smile.

Sanak stepped forward and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"The paper that proved the Adama conjecture."

Deligne showed Sanak the paper in his hand.

Sanak glanced at it, and it was indeed this, and then he smiled and said, "It's just that, that's why I came to you. You should have finished the interrogation, right? How do you feel?"

Deligne pondered for a moment, and finally spit out a word: "Unbelievable."

incredible.

"I can't believe this is a paper written by a nineteen-year-old."

"Although mathematical geniuses often show outstanding talents in their 20s and 30s, this paper makes me feel like I am reading a master's paper."

"Especially the novel application of the quadratic residue theory in this paper really surprised me."

"He didn't solve this problem solely by existing knowledge, he still had his own ideas in it."

Sanak felt the same way about Deligne's words.

"Yes, this is indeed the excellence of this paper. The quadratic remainder theory can still carry out such innovations." Sarnak nodded and sighed: "It seems that the undergraduates and graduate students in the future, There are new must-learn knowledge."

Deligne couldn't help laughing: "Isn't this a good thing?"

"Exactly." Sanak nodded.

Although they study pure mathematics, they have always been at the top of the chain of contempt, overlooking many other disciplines, but the current situation of mathematics in recent years is obvious to all, and the speed of development has slowed down a little.

Therefore, mathematics still needs more new knowledge and new blood to make the foundation of all sciences stronger.

"Since your side has also approved it, I'm going to give the author of this paper, MuLi, an answer. I plan to publish this paper next month."

Sanak said.

Deligne nodded, "Then I'll send you the review results of the approved manuscript now... Well, I'll add another comment, it should be fine, right?"

Sanak laughed: "Of course it's no problem. This is also your right as a reviewer. I will also add a comment when the time comes."

Deligne smiled, and then wrote the review result opinion letter face to face.

[I have completed the review. The academic level and quality of the paper have met the requirements of the "Annual Journal of Mathematics", and I agree to publish it. 】

Then he wrote in the comment column: [This paper has amazing breakthroughs and innovations, and successfully solved another problem left in the mathematics world. It is really hard to imagine that this paper was written by a 19-year-old Done, maybe it's time for old guys like us to retire. 】
