Chapter 401: Invite speakers

Chapter 401
Under the sound of taking pictures, the four mathematicians smiled and took the trophy from President Kenneth.
Four Philippine Award winners, led by Francisco, gave a brief acceptance speech.
The content mentioned is probably also thank you for this, thank you for that.
Cheng Nuo stood in the corner, staring at the four shining people ahead with envy.
I don't know when I can reach this height.
When the four Philippine Prize winners step off the stage, the opening ceremony of the International Congress of Mathematicians will be over.
This afternoon and two days after tomorrow, in addition to a few small-scale lectures, is another important academic report of the International Mathematics Congress.
Unlike ordinary reports in universities or academic exchange meetings, being able to give an academic report here represents a very high honor.
Therefore, more than 180 to 80 mathematicians at this International Conference of Mathematicians were selected from the top mathematicians in 19 research fields of mathematics after a layer of selection.
Representatives are almost all the top level in their respective fields.
There are two types of academic research reports: one hour and forty-five minutes. The former is naturally higher than the latter.
For those mathematicians who have no hope of competing for the Fields Medal, or who have passed the required number of years for the Philippine Prize, it is a lifetime honor to be able to give an academic report at the International Congress of Mathematicians.
At this conference, 185 speakers were invited, including 16 Chinese mathematicians, a record high.
We must know that in the several international conferences of mathematicians held in the early 21st century, there were only two or three Chinese mathematicians invited by the conference. It is not easy to reach this level now.
…………
There are more than one hundred academic reports, and it is impossible for the group of mathematicians to participate in every one, let alone some academic reports are given at the same time.
Cheng Nuo had obtained the schedule for more than one hundred academic reports through Tan Weiwei's relationship at noon.
In general, the schedule is very tight. Because there will be lectures and academic exchanges later.
Cheng Nuo certainly does not intend to listen to all academic reports.
Picking up the important ones and listening to them that I am interested in, as for those academic reports that are not in my research direction or that the invited speakers are not well-known, Cheng Nuo naturally skips them directly.
It is worth mentioning that the 13 Philippine Prize winners who participated in this International Congress of Mathematicians, oh no, to be precise, they are now 17.
Ten of the seventeen Philippine Prize winners were invited to be academic speakers.
Except for the report theme of a Philippine Prize winner who studies mathematical physics and Cheng Nuo's research direction, there is a big difference. For the other nine reports, Cheng Nuo still has to mix in and listen.
Doing nothing else, it's just to admire the heroic posture of the boss.
…………
In the first session of the afternoon, Cheng Nuo went to listen to an academic report by Professor Billy, the current Philippine Prize winner of Princeton University in the United States.
I have to say that the attractiveness of the Philippine Prize winner among mathematicians is extremely high.
The small auditorium with more than 300 people was almost full except for the row of seats in the back row.
Professor Billy, who was only 60 years old, slowly walked up to the podium with the help of an assistant. Cheng Nuo, who had been standing in the corner of the auditorium, looked at the right time and sat in the last row of empty seats.
However, several mathematicians noticed what happened on Cheng Nuo's side, but they didn't care, except that the waiter was tired and sat down for a while when he saw that he was free.
However, if you come to Philadelphia on business in the future, it is better not to stay at this Kincaid Hotel.
The waiters dare to be lazy secretly, and presumably the hotel's service is not good.
Tan Weiwei's uncle would never know, because this incident lowered the evaluation of several mathematicians on their hotel, but even if he knew it, I'm afraid he wouldn't care. Wealth and wealth!
Professor Billy is a top expert in algebra.
Back then, it was precisely because of his significant contributions in the direction of group theory and homology algebra that he was named the Fields Medal winner.
Therefore, the core of his academic report is still algebra, just a little bit of arithmetic and geometry.
The name of the academic report is called "SeresultsonaffineDeligne-Lusztigvarieties", which translates to "the result of a type of affine DL cluster variety".
The so-called affine DL clusters belong to a class of algebraic clusters. The algebraic cluster refers to the set of common zero-point solutions of the polynomial set in algebraic geometry.
The affine DL cluster is a concept proposed by the American mathematician Denton-Korler a year ago. After a year of development, it has become one of the current hot issues in the field of algebraic geometry.
Since Cheng Nuo had little contact with algebra, he only knew what the affine DL cluster was, but Cheng Nuo didn't know much about its specific nature.
The content of Professor Bill's academic report on the stage took the Lie group in algebra as the starting point, and introduced the latest development of affine DL clusters through Lie algebra.
Even though he was sitting in the last row and couldn't touch the boss in the front row, Cheng Nuo still raised his head, listening with gusto.
Most of the mathematicians in the back row came to pay homage to Professor Bill, and due to the professional mismatch, they didn't put too much energy into listening to what he taught.
When they lost their minds halfway through, they subconsciously glanced at the waiter who was listening attentively with his neck straight.
They were taken aback for a moment, then laughed blankly.
Does this waiter really think that he can become a mathematician by listening to an academic report here and receiving the influence of some mathematics bosses?
Not to mention other things, the above-mentioned content of Professor Bill, the waiter can understand one-tenth, oh no, one-tenth, then their group of mathematicians can buy a piece of tofu and kill him.
"I want to talk about these. If you have any questions, you can just raise your hand and ask, of course, you can also write the question on a small note and upload it to me. Both methods are fine." Professor Bill added the content on the PPT After speaking, I smiled and asked everyone here~EbookFREE.me~ As a Philippine award leader, Professor Bill, the invited speaker, naturally gave a one-hour academic report, but certainly not a neat one hour. .
Fifty minutes have passed since the report, and the remaining ten minutes or so is for everyone to ask questions.
Cheng Nuo, who had learned a lot after listening to a report, condensed the content of the report while suppressing his inner excitement.
Cheng Nuo, who didn't know much about this direction, was naturally confused now.
But he couldn't ask the question blatantly. He had to tore off half a piece of paper from the notebook he brought with him. After writing down the content of the question, he stood up, pretended to be passing by, and handed it to the mathematician in front. "Sir, please pass on."
"Oh, good." The mathematician subconsciously took it and handed it to the person in front.
After a few seconds, the mathematician seemed to have thought of something and suddenly turned his head.
Looking at the empty seat behind him, the mathematician felt a chill in his back.
