Chapter 1016: Hidden achievements to unlock! (Thirty-three)

The morning of August 3.
The sky was clear and clear.
The conference hall of the Clinthia Hotel was crowded with people.
Even though the conference hall was large enough, but because there were too many people present, and two security checks were set up at the entrance, people were still shoulder-to-shoulder, and the crowded aisle was almost intolerable.
As in previous sessions, in accordance with the convention, the Chairman of the Organizing Committee / Professor Viviana and the Chairman of the International Mathematical Union Sen Zhongwen, respectively, stood at the stage and delivered opening speeches. Welcome scholars from all over the country to visit here, and thank Russia and Support from all walks of life in the city of St. Petersburg.
Immediately afterwards, the entire conference ushered in the most exciting and exciting awards session of everyone.
This session can be said to be the highlight of the entire conference, and it can even be said that many people came to it.
The four categories of awards to be issued almost mark the supreme honor of the entire mathematics world. It can be said that if any one of them is awarded, the winner's mathematical path will be smooth.
Especially the Fields Award.
Compared to the Lifetime Achievement Award, which has a consoling nature and a semi-stop for academic careers, the Fields Award, which can only participate in the competition under the age of 40, can be said to be the crown in the minds of countless mathematicians.
Most people value hard work, but everyone aspires to be a genius.
This is especially true for areas of genius such as mathematics.
Sitting in the crowd, Lu Zhou could clearly hear, and the people sitting next to him were discussing fiercely, who might get this supreme honor.
"Jody Williamson, the youngest mathematician in Australia, has established a pure algebra Hodge theory about polynomial rings, and successfully proved the Kazhdan-Lusztig conjecture for the Coriolis system. It is a pity that this session should be his. "
"... Marina Vyazovska should also have a chance. In the study of discrete geometry, she extended the problem of 3D sphere stacking to 8D and 24D, and she also won the 2017 Cray by virtue of these studies. The research award, the Lalu gold award, and the European combinatorial award. My mentor used genius and incredible words to describe her. She is 38 years old this year, and if she won't win again, she will have no chance. "
"Marina Vyazovska's research is indeed excellent, but the direction of discrete geometry is too cold, not to mention her mentor is not a famous scholar. In contrast, I am more optimistic about another Ukrainian mathematician, And also a lady. "
"Who?"
"The prover of Kakutani's conjecture, Vera Puyue, the recipient of the previous Cole Number Theory Award and the Ramanu Gold Award, the European Mathematical Society Award. Whether it is research results or mentors are top-level, and they are from Princeton, even if The jury did not consider her this time, and it must be her next time. "
"Damn, why is the Fields Award only four years old? There are too many people who can win."
"Because there are too many posts, there is no gold content. We must choose scholars who are really good enough to change the future of mathematics ..."
The third penultimate sentence was captured keenly, and Lu Zhou's face showed a surprised expression.
Where he didn't know, so much had happened, and she didn't even tell him.
Although understanding she might want to surprise herself, maybe she thought it was not worth mentioning at all, but she still lost a little bit when she realized this.
I did not want to live up to the expectations of the attendees. Professor Mori Chongwen standing on the stage did not keep people waiting. He put up a speech in his hand, pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and quickly entered the awards process.
"The Gaussian prize first, I know you have been waiting for a long time."
At the moment when this sentence was spoken.
The huge conference hall was as quiet as if it had been silenced.
After looking around the venue, Professor Mori Zhongwen spoke slowly and solemnly.
"We often say that mathematics is the basis of natural science and applied science, and its boundary determines our understanding of the universe and ourselves. However, in the study of applied science, we can integrate advanced mathematical methods and make clever use There are few scholars who have the tools to solve major propositions about our future. "
"About his deeds, I can spend a whole day narrating, and I may not even finish it ..."
The attending attendees listened very carefully, and Lu Zhou listened very carefully.
Just then, there was a complaint of discord.
"... Oh, Shet, I have already guessed who it is. Hurry up and give him the prize!"
Soon, someone whispered.
"Yeah, yeah, the most unsuspecting Gaussian award, hurry up next."
Lu Zhou: "..."
MMP!
Can't cooperate, wait for a while to say this sentence?
The surprise that finally brewed out was gone!
Lu Zhou turned his head to see who was arranging himself, but there were too many people here. Looking at all the people, he couldn't tell who said those two sentences.
On the stage, Professor Mori Zhongwen continued.
"... As he said, our science is changing the world, and mathematics will change our science!"
"The winner is--"
"Lu Zhou!"
The applause was pouring like rain.
Standing up in applause, taking a deep breath of Lu Zhou, walked smoothly to the stage and took the medal from Professor Mori.
The right hand was patted gently on Lu Zhou's arm. The elderly professor's face showed a friendly smile and nodded.
"Congratulations, young scholar, we have met again."
Although applied science has no prestige in mathematics, the Bourbachian school, which occupies a higher voice in mathematics, is even more honored by the "uselessness" and "pureness" of mathematics, such as Hardy and Grothendieck. It has been publicly stated that mathematics is great because it is pure.
But anyway, applied science is indeed a part of mathematics, not to mention that even if scholars such as Hardy and Grothendieck pursue "glorious isolation", their doctrines have finally been reflected in other disciplines.
The Gaussian Prize exists to reward such scholars.
"Thank you, I'm also glad to see you again," shaking hands with the elderly scholar, Lu Zhou continued with a smile, "I believe we will meet again."
Hearing this sentence, Professor Mori Zhongwen apparently froze for a moment, then said with a smile.
"Do you mean ... in such an occasion? It's really a shame. Before you are seventy, we're afraid we won't be able to give you more medals, and when you're seventy, I'm afraid I have long been out of this world. "
Lu Zhou: "Isn't there another Rivalati award?"
Professor Mori Zhongwen coughed, "... Please give someone else who loves the math cause a chance, and Professor Lu, please go down."
Lu Zhou: "..."
The Chen Shengshen Mathematics Award is a lifetime achievement. Do n’t think about it for the time being. However, Lu Zhou feels that he still has a little hope for the Nawanglinner Award for mathematics in computer science. There is also the Rivalati Award for commendation in mathematics.
He remembers that the Turks who won this award last year seemed to have just built a few primary schools in remote mountain areas (desert areas)?
My contribution to the general cause of mathematics is more than just a few primary schools. Why ca n’t I participate in the award?
Although he didn't really care about the medal, Lu Zhou was still a little bit worried.
After stepping down, he sat in the front row belonging to the Gaussian winner and waited quietly for the awards ceremony to continue.
The Chen Shengshen Mathematics Award and the Rivalati Award are awarded next. The former is a lifetime achievement, and the latter is a reward for the "ordinary people" who have made outstanding contributions to science.
The atmosphere in the venue was pushed to high chao, wave by wave, especially when the Fields Awards ceremony began, the warm atmosphere reached its peak.
Sitting in the front row, Lu Zhou facing away from the venue can even feel that the pair of eyes focused on the stage seems to be able to point something ...
Facing everyone's expectations, Professor Mori Zhongwen continued to speak.
Almost when the professor opened his mouth and sat in the front row of the boat, the whole man froze.
"Number theory is an ancient discipline. Its history runs through almost the entire history of mathematics, and those classic propositions that have been and have not been solved can be said to be the origin of all the knowledge we have so far."
"Few people can make truly outstanding results in this area ~ EbookFREE.me ~ mountains are prohibitive, except for those warriors with strong eyes and strong faith."
"... She has constructed a clever transcendental whole function and proved that there is an entire function h (z) and that {g ^ ok (z0)} ∞ / k = 1 converges to 1, which proves that it has troubled us for many years The Kakutani conjecture was established and perfected the group construction theory. "
"The first winner of the Fields Prize was--"
"Professor Willa Puyui from Princeton University!"
The thunderous applause, like a violent storm, hit the eardrums of the landing boat, and made him all messy in the wind.
Willa?
It is not that he has not considered this possibility.
But all this is too sudden!
She is indeed an excellent scholar. There is no doubt that the research results in number theory can add points when participating in such awards, but there is nothing wrong with it, but no matter how much she is too young.
If Lu Zhou remembers it correctly, she got her PhD when she left Princeton, when she was only 22 years old.
And now 4 years have passed, she is only 26 ...
Of course, what really caught Lu Zhou off guard was not just news that Willa won the award.
Almost at the same time, a line of light blue text appeared in his sight.

(Three presents! The story is here, basically already in the middle stage, I will moderate the pace later. Also, Xueba's comics have been set for the summer season, and we will soon be able to meet you. Students can pay attention to the public account "Morning Star LL". I will post the news of morning pictures and comics in the first time ~)
