Chapter 1017: Teachers make high apprentices (1/3)

Willa Puyue!
Winners only 26 years old!
Although it did not break the record set by Professor Lu, this age is quite rare.
And what surprised people most was not just her age, but also her gender.
Before that, the only female mathematician who had won the Fields Prize was Mariam Mirzahani, an Iranian professor at Stanford University, but unfortunately, in the second year after the award- In 2017, she died of breast cancer.
It can be said that she will be the only surviving female Fields Prize winner in the world.
"The Fields Award is getting younger and younger. First Schultz, then Professor Lu, and this Vera Puyue ..."
Looking at the young and beautiful figure on the stage, Xu Chenyang sitting under the stage applauding, said with a bit of vicissitudes in his tone, "Sometimes I watch these young people come up one by one, I really feel I'm old. "
Four years ago, it was his last chance to touch the Fields Medal.
However, there was little suspense, and he was ultimately defeated.
There is nothing to regret, after all, the Fields Award is aimed at the entire mathematical community, and it is only selected once every four years. If the teacher is not prominent, he must have the results of shocking the world, if both, then it is natural.
For example, Lu Zhou, the teacher inherited the words of Grothendieck, the mentor was a top Daniel at the time, such as Deligne, plus the outstanding results of Goldbach's conjecture, even if there was no subsequent NS equation, the International Federation of Mathematicians It is impossible for him to wait for another round.
For another example, Schultz, although the mentor Michel Raboport is not a special name, but he also came from the University of Bonn in the Faltings school, plus his "perfect space" The theory is almost one of the most promising directions in algebraic geometry, and it is logical to win the Fields Prize. Even so, he took turns for one term and didn't get his medal until 18 years.
And in his own words, although the reputation of the domestic mathematics community is notable, but it can only be regarded as a quasi-first-line scholar in the international community, and there is still a long way to go.
Besides, even if you want to consider his name, you should also consider Zhang Wei sitting next to him.
Whether in international academic circles or his own strengths, this big guy is better than him ...
After hearing the emotion of his friend, Zhang Wei also nodded deeply in sympathy and sighed softly.
"Yeah, time flies."
Four years passed in an instant.
Almost unknowingly, he has changed from a young scholar to a middle-aged scholar who has been to the fifth.
This feeling is like, as if yesterday they were the hope of the new generation in the eyes of the older generation of mathematicians, today they have become the predecessors in the eyes of the new people.
Xu Chenyang said with a smile: "There are talented people on behalf of Jiangshan, who have been leading for hundreds of years ... But I still think it is incredible. You say that person, if only he is great, it would be fine. I did not expect that the students he taught would be the same. Great, this is too bad. "
Zhang Wei shook her head and said, "There is nothing incredible, that Vera Puyi, I remember that she was the gold medal of a certain IMO contest. She was sent to Berkeley by the full scholarship, and later took Princeton's recommendation to Princeton. If she can get to this point, she can only say that she hasn't lost her talent, and the people who taught her have not let down her potential. "
The IMO gold medal itself is a frequent place for the Fields Awards. The students are good seedlings and the teachers are among the best in the field of mathematics. It would be a strange thing if the Fields Awards were not won.
The only thing that should be surprising is probably her gender and age.
Xu Chenyang said with emotion: "We have also won a lot of gold medals in the IMO competition. This time there is a guy with full marks. I just don't know when our Chinese mathematics community can add another Fields Award."
Although Lu Zhou has broken the record of the 0 Fields Prize in the mathematics community in China, Xu Chenyang knew very well that this momentum is actually difficult to maintain.
This is like Ramanukin to the Indian mathematics community. Although India has also produced many outstanding mathematicians, he can only look up in front of Ramanugin and can't raise the idea of ​​catching up.
"There will be a chance," Zhang Wei patted a friend's shoulder and said with a smile, "Aren't our professors all returning to teach in China? It's only been four years now, and the leek seedlings have just grown up and wait. It's been five years in ten years, and I believe that our academic community will definitely produce a group of outstanding talents! "
It's not just Lu Zhou's ability that truly convinced Zhang Wei, but also the tremendous changes that have taken place in the academic world of China in recent years.
He can clearly feel from all aspects that those achievements made by Professor Lu are making the Chinese society and even the top of the country pay more and more attention to the role of mathematics.
The more basic the subject, the more inseparable is the support of all sectors of society.
But now, the overall environment of the domestic academic community is unprecedentedly recognizing the contribution of this basic discipline of mathematics to the development of applied sciences.
Ten years ago, this was hard to imagine.
From the perspective of the times, the impact of this change on the future of Chinese mathematics is far more significant than the few students he brought out, and even how many actual problems have been solved. It has far-reaching significance ...
Another time in the hall of the conference hall, his eyes were locked on the stage. Academician Wang Shicheng, who was silent from the beginning of the award ceremony, gradually appeared a relief expression on his face.
If only a few days ago, he was still worried about the matter that Lu Zhou snatched a good seed from him.
So now, he suddenly felt that this was not bad.
Yanda International Mathematics Research Center has been established for so many years. Although it has also trained a group of outstanding scholars and sent a lot of fresh blood to the cause of mathematics in Huaguo, among the trained talents, the ones who can truly be called top not yet Count more.
If this guy really has the ability to teach a Fields Medal scholar ...
Maybe the good seed who got a perfect score in the IMO contest is really buried here.
It is not too far away from Academician Wang's seat. Professor Deligne, who is sitting on the stage, has another feeling in his mind at this moment.
Staring at the little the stage for a while, the old gentleman snorted softly with his nose, and suddenly said, "... I didn't expect that they would actually choose Miss Puyou."
Hearing a touch of unbelief in this tone, Professor Fefferman sitting next to him smiled and said, "In terms of academic results, it can prove that Kakutani conjecture is already a first-class scholar. Regardless of whether it is Lu Zhou's help, or how much she helped, but from the summary of the work in the dissertation, most of the proof work was done by her alone. "
Taking a look at Fefferman, Deligne said, "Are you sure there are no political / government factors?"
Due to the pressure of this sight, he originally wanted to use a good-faith lie to expose this matter to Professor Fefferman, who had a helpless expression on his face.
"... Well, we also considered these factors. In fact, Miss Marina Vyazovska is also a suitable choice, but it may be a little far-fetched to match this medal with her academic achievements."
Professor Deligne suddenly said, "This was not the case in mathematics before."
He doesn't object to awarding the Fields Prize to Willa, nor does he deny that Willa is an outstanding scholar, but he is more and more concerned with the mundane vision of the mathematics community, and more and more concerned with the opinions of unrelated people. Change, but I feel some dissatisfaction.
A long time ago, they considered whether a scholar was good, and only considered his contribution to academia.
But now they have to consider the nationality, color, gender, and even political / government background and position of the winners. Although these are not enough to control the Fields Prize itself for the time being, they have indeed become a bonus.
Academic freedom and independence are gradually becoming a piece of fart / strand paper, which becomes more and more wrinkled ...
Understanding his own old friend's feelings, Professor Fefferman shrugged and comforted: "The times are advancing. Regardless of whether we want to accept it, we can only adapt to this change ..."
"What's more, it's not just us who are forced to make changes in line with the times?"
Deligne glanced at him.
"Do you think this is good?"
Fefferman: "This problem is left to future generations to worry about."
...
There was thunderous applause.
But at this moment, the land boat sitting in the middle of the storm was inaudible.
Not because the excitement passed out, but because his consciousness has now entered the system space.
[Congratulations to the host, the achievement of "Master Teacher" is achieved! 】
[Condition fulfilled: Foster a student who has achieved the highest level of honor in the subject taught! 】
[Reward: 100,000 points of subject experience, sample "Void Memory a" (rare)! 】
Void memory?
Still a "rare"?
There is also a, meaning there is a series of b, c, d?
Looking at the line of rewards popping up in the holographic screen, Lu Zhou apparently froze.
Although this broken system has made a lot of bad jokes with him, such as the "egg" that was drawn is actually just an egg with no eggs, but when he saw this interesting name, he intuitively told him I'm afraid this thing is not simple.
Without any hesitation, Lu Zhou didn't even confirm the property panel ~ EbookFREE.me ~ he turned off the reward prompt and opened the inventory,
After all, it is only 100,000 mathematical experience, put it in the millions of mathematics subject experience slot, not to mention a waste of money, is probably the kind of stunned outside, people do not know whether the experience has gone.
The inventory opens quickly.
Floating on the icy metal-filled interface is a deep, disturbing purple.
It is difficult to describe what shape it is. Each tentacle is like an unreal mist, wrapped around a spherical outline, as if guarding the shadow and secret deep in the core.
Swallowing, Lu Zhou raised his right hand, and the index finger tentatively clicked over the icon.
However, unlike usual, there was no description of the text jumping out of his eyes, instead, an electric sting came down his fingertips.
"hiss--!"
It hurts! !! !!
This is the first time that Lu Zhou has produced the redundant feeling of pain in the system space.
However, this tingling sensation didn't make Lu Zhou flinch, but made a look of interest on that pensive face.
"interesting……"
"... I thought there was only an abstract consciousness in the system space, similar to a dream, and I didn't expect to feel pain here."
The curiosity about this thing in my heart grew stronger.
Maybe holding it firmly is the right way to open it?
However, even if he tried to do so, Lu Zhou did not immediately do so.
Now his body is still on the scene of the IMU conference.
It's hard to say whether this thing will have any physical impact on the body in reality.
In the case of uncertain risks, it is best to be cautious.
At least, you have to find a quiet environment first ...
