Chapter 1096: 2 giant handshake

The entrance of Jinling University.
Standing on the side of the road with a black suitcase, Professor Faltins looked at the inscribed stone monument not far away and said suddenly.
"I never thought of coming to this country ten years ago. I didn't expect to have worked hard for only a few years. I have been here so many times."
"I've been here about twice," Schultz said, smiling with a suitcase. "Each time it feels different to me."
"It's my first time," standing next to the two, an old man who looked about 50 or 60 years old looked up at the crowds coming and going at the campus gate, and said with emotion, "I have only seen it in movies before. . "
Faltins: "Oh? How do you feel now?"
The old man smiled and said, "Sure enough the movies are deceiving."
The old man standing next to the two was not someone else, it was Professor Holden.
As Secretary-General of the International Federation of Mathematicians, he came to Jinling this time mainly to negotiate with the Chinese Association of Mathematicians and the local government of Jinling City, and to discuss matters concerning the next International Mathematician Conference.
Of course, the reason why they would visit them with Professor Faltins also meant to visit Lu Zhou.
Schultz smiled and said, "If you go to their library, you will be even more surprised. I have been to many universities, but I rarely see any university library. They will be as full as they are, and they even need to book. Book in advance to find a seat. "
"Really?" Professor Holden's face showed an interested expression. "Then I have to visit ... Speaking of how can we find Professor Lu? Do you know where his office is?"
Faltins and Schultz glanced at each other, exchanged gazes, and a weird expression appeared on their faces.
"do you know?"
"No ... I thought you knew."
"That's unfortunate. I seem to have been to the campus in the city center several times when I came to Jinling."
The expression on Professor Holden's face was a little awkward, and he coughed.
"... I'll go and say hello."
As he said, he dragged his suitcase and took the lead to the doorman's room at the gate, asking with the help of translation software on his mobile phone.
"Hello, how can I find Lu Zhou's office?"
The three foreigners who squinted outside the doorman, apparently the doorman who had this experience directly touched three English-language forms from the drawer and handed them to the window sill with the pen.
"Find Academician Lu? Fill out the form to register first."
Looking at the doorman who called, Professor Holden turned back to Faltings and Schultz, and made a helpless expression.
"... Anyway, let's register first."
...
At the same time, the conference room and ideological work conference of Jinling University are being held.
Because of what happened in the last meeting, President Xu named the director of the International Department, Director Chen, and the bureaucracy that has risen with the rise of Jinda's status in the domestic academic community and is spreading in management.
At the same time, he emphasized at the meeting how to be a truly international university, how to face his influence, and that he must not take a bad lead on issues of principle and so on.
For Jin Da, President Xu can be said to be very emotional.
Although it is not his alma mater, it is where he worked for more than ten years.
At his current age, it is very difficult to make great achievements academically. The only sustenance is education. It can cultivate more useful talents for this university, for the country, and for society.
Fortunately, Jin Da has a professor Lu, and under his influence everything is moving in a good direction.
However, in contrast, as Jinda's strength continues to grow, the hidden dangers behind this prosperity are also breeding together.
The current situation is that, if nothing else, he can stay in office for up to five years. Within these five years, it was of course okay to have him watch, but after five years, no matter what, he should retire, and do not know who will come to this seat.
In order to make this university a brighter future, he plans to do something in these five years.
Do not seek to restore the glory of the former national university, but seek Jin Da who can dedicate him to the rest of his life for more than ten years, and be ready to embrace the world.
Instead of letting those who are only thinking about the black hat on their heads, turn this train carrying the dreams of countless young people into the ditch.
Unscrewing the thermos cup and drinking a hot water to moisten his throat, just as the principal Xu was planning to continue to say something, a knock was heard outside the conference room, and his secretary came in from the outside.
"principal."
Temporarily stopped speaking, principal Xu asked him.
"whats the matter."
"The Security Branch just called and said that it was Professor Faltins, an internationally renowned scholar and director of the Institute of Mathematics at Max Planck, Professor Schultz of the Department of Mathematics at the University of Bonn, and Professor Holden, Secretary-General of the International Federation of Mathematicians. I hope to visit Academician Lu. "
There was a whisper in the conference room.
The noisy speech contained obvious surprise and wonder.
Principal Xu nodded for a moment and asked subconsciously.
"Why did the security department call you?"
The secretary said with a crying expression.
"Because people have arrived at the door."
Opening his mouth, Headmaster Xu returned to God and immediately looked back at the other participants in the conference room.
"Those things I just said, you think about it yourself, what exactly is an international university, what kind of international status is what we really need. Meet up!"
Speaking of which, he was thrown off the microphone and hurriedly walked out of the door.
...
If Perelman's sudden visit a few days ago, it seemed to Lu Zhou that the sun was coming out west.
Then at this moment, seeing Professor Faltins and others standing at the door of his office, he even began to doubt whether he was secretly put on a helmet by a mischievous Ai, and he was actually in a dream constructed by a virtual reality system. .
Well, this is of course impossible.
He clearly remembered what Xiaolongbao was like in the morning.
It was just that Lu Zhou didn't think of it, because of his own thesis, not only Perelman, who had already "quit the rivers and lakes", ran to him, even Schultz and Mr. Faltings ran over.
"I just opened the door and asked. Are you still short of people here?"
Hearing Professor Faltins' words, he turned back to Lu Zhou, who had a strange expression on his face.
"You did that too ..."
Faltins didn't speak, just glanced sideways.
Looking at the old gentleman, Schultz made a helpless expression and nodded.
"I'm coming ... Prof. Faltins just came with me."
Lu Zhou looked at Professor Faltings, with an expression on his face that he didn't know how to vomit.
It seemed a bit embarrassed to be seen, the old gentleman gave a cough and said blankly.
"You should know that Professor Schultz's research focuses on the field of seemingly complete geometry, and the core problem in this field is the unity of algebra and geometry. After reading your paper, we agreed that The route you are currently studying is the most promising to complete this historic work. Then he proposed to come and visit and exchange for a year, as for me ... "
With a pause here, Professor Faltins continued with a cough.
"As for me, just come here and take a look, and may stay for a while. Of course, if there is anything I need to help, you can tell me ... if you don't lack people, just tell me directly, no need to This kind of thing is difficult. "
"... Why? I don't think someone who would reject such a good thing would exist," Lu Zhou smiled, holding out his right hand. "Welcome you, friends from afar, welcome you to join my project."
Professor Faltins opened his mouth and seemed to want to correct Lu Zhou's statement about "you", but after thinking about it, he still held his right hand without saying a word.
If there is a reporter nearby, you will not miss the opportunity to take photos.
At this particular time and occasion, this handshake is absolutely historic.
On the one hand is the strongest of the young mathematicians in the new era, and on the other is Professor Faltins, one of the existing spiritual leaders of the Bourbachian School and known as the first person under Grothendieck among old-time scholars ~ www.mtlnovel .com ~ No doubt, this is a handshake between the two giants!
"There are so many experts here. It seems that there is no suspense in solving the unified theory of mathematics," Schultz, who stood aside, smiled cheerfully and said in a joke tone, "Would you like to open a bottle of champagne first? Me You can buy it now. "
"Let's talk until our problem is solved," Professor Faltins pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose with his trembling fingers after releasing his holding hand, and said solemnly, "Although so far We have achieved a lot of results so far, but there are still a lot of problems to be solved, and the situation is far from optimistic. Maybe we have to solve the standard conjecture left by Grothendieck. The core part of this puzzle. "
Of course, if the situation is optimistic, you may not need such trouble.
Even the grand unification theory itself can be a solution to a series of mathematical propositions related to cohomology theory, including standard conjectures.
For a mathematical proposition, however, the real trouble is here-that is, the unknown of the trouble itself.
However, compared to the dignity on Professor Faltings' face, Lu Zhou's expression was more optimistic and even relaxed.
Looking at his old friends who came far away, Lu Zhou said in a pleasant tone.
"Anyway, you have come from afar. According to the etiquette of our Chinese people, I should invite you to dinner before telling other things. What do you want to eat?"
"Jinling Roast Duck is good ..." Professor Holden, who was standing beside him, suddenly raised his hand. Hehe smiled and said, "I always wanted to eat."
Lu Zhou said with a smile.
"No problem, I promise you will get it."
