Chapter 347: When you are young, you should go out more

Unsure of it, Lu Zhou told his tutor Professor Deligne the invitation letter from the Max Planck Institute. After listening to Lu Zhou's statement, the old man stopped his pen and looked up at Lu Zhou.
"Do you plan to go to Max Planck?"
"Thinking," Lu Zhou thought for a while, and said, "In fact, I prefer to hold this briefing in Princeton."
Germany is too far away.
Just returned from a business trip at Columbia University, for some time he did not want to travel far.
After Deligne thought about it, unexpectedly Lu Zhou did not agree with his point: "Principal Igrub will certainly be happy to hear you say this, and will certainly be willing to spend a lot of time on your behalf, but I This is not recommended. "
Lu Zhou: "Why?"
"This place is like a monastery, suitable for practice, but not suitable for preaching. There is a wider world outside the Institute of Advanced Studies," Delinier dropped his pen and looked at his former student and continued, "My suggestion is that when you are young, you should go out and walk more. No matter what you are studying, and more exchanges with scholars in the same field, it is far more helpful to research than closing the door to persecute yourself.
In Deligne's eyes, Lu Zhou's approach to the problem is really no different from "persecution of himself".
Lu Zhou gave a helpless expression and shrugged: "Well, I will seriously consider your suggestion."
"I hope you will. In addition, after going there, remember to say hello to the old fellow of Faltins for me." Speaking of the old friend's name, Deligne's solemn face appeared rare. With a smile, "I have been away from Princeton for more than 20 years, and I don't know if his arrogance has been cured."
Recalling the last time he met the old gentleman in Stockholm, Lu Zhou's expression suddenly became a bit subtle.
Although it is not clear what Professor Faltins was like when he was still at Princeton Advanced Institute two decades ago.
But I think it ’s probably not cured ...
After leaving Professor Deligne's office, Lu Zhou returned to his office.
Sitting at the computer, he thought for a while, edited an e-mail, and responded to the Max Planck Institute's invitation to the Institute of Condensed Matter Physics according to the email address left on the written letter.
In the end he decided to go to Germany.
Now that the Max Planck Institute has promised in the invitation letter to bear all the expenses during his visit to Germany, it is not bad to go out for public travel.
But in this way, you must prepare the PowerPoint for the report as soon as possible ...
After working all day, it's finally time for dinner.
Lu Zhou stretched his back, saved the unfinished PPT, and sat up from the office chair.
After returning in the evening, there were some special things to do. He planned to end today's work earlier, and told Willa to let her go to the dining area on the first floor alone without bringing her a bacon sandwich for a while.
Coincidentally, just as Lu Zhou was about to start dining, he met Edward Witten who had just finished his meal.
"Did you not eat at the Ivy Club?" Sitting opposite the boat with the dinner plate, the talkative Jewish professor said in a chatter tone, "During the time you went to Columbia University for an exchange visit, there was a change A new chef. "
"Every time I planned to go, I would eventually choose to sit here because I was too lazy to go that far," said Lu Zhou with a helpless expression while stirring the meat sauce on the macaroni with a fork.
"Haha, it's the same for me. In fact, after getting used to it, I found that the food of the Institute of Higher Education is also very delicious." Edward Witten smiled, "If it was not because they changed my member to a life member, I guess Have already retired. "
"A lifetime member? Don't you have to pay membership fees?" This was the first time I heard about it, and Lu Zhou asked Witten unexpectedly.
"Of course not, but you are fast, no club will allow a Fields or Nobel laureate to pay membership fees. This is the historical tradition of the Ivy Club." After a pause, Witten suddenly remembered something. And then asked, "Speaking of which, have you received an invitation from IMU?"
IMU is the abbreviation of International Union of Mathematicians, and the invitation letter that Witten refers to is naturally an invitation to report on the International Congress of Mathematicians.
Nodding his head, Lu Zhou replied, "Yes, they invited me to a 60-minute lecture."
Edward Whitten was not surprised by Lu Zhou's invitation.
As the strongest candidate for the Fields Award, it would be strange if you didn't receive an invitation.
"Sixty minutes is not short. Do you want to do something at the report?"
Lu Zhou: "If nothing unexpected, it is Kakutani's conjecture."
"No accident? What does it mean?" Edward Witten glanced at Lu Zhou with a confusion, and continued to ask with interest. "What if there was an accident?"
Lu Zhou smiled and answered the question with a light tone.
"Naturally, it is Kakutani conjecture."
The difference is just who does the work.
After taking off Goldberg's conjecture that the jewel in this crown, among the many propositions of additive number theory, there are no propositions that can arouse Lu Zhou's interest.
The theory of group construction method has been perfected in proving Goldbach's conjecture. Compared with the limited time used to solve isolated problems, Lu Zhou is more willing to see someone using his theoretical tools to create new ones. Theory, or to prove a new theorem on this basis.

It is for this reason that at the beginning of the application of Kakutani Conjecture, Lu Zhou decided to leave this project to his students to complete, and he only provided guidance and suggestions on methods and directions.
Of course, if his students can't complete it, he will eventually consider his own shot.
However, Lu Zhou is quite optimistic about his students' ability.
Especially Vera, who has the talent for mathematics, is the best of all scholars under 25 he has seen.
Although lacking in creativity, it is surprisingly strong in analytical ability and logical thinking. As long as she has taught her many things, she can not only remember it quickly, but also quickly apply it to solving practical problems.
I believe that with proper guidance, she might not be able to become a scholar of Schultz's level.
As far as talent is concerned, she even won the IMO gold medal one year before Schultz ...
...
After dinner, Lu Zhou did not return home immediately after leaving the Institute of Higher Education, but instead jogged along Lake Carnegie.
As a researcher, only with a healthy body can he explode the liver better in the research.
Since becoming a professor, Lu Zhou has realized this more and more deeply.
After sweating, he returned home and took a shower. Lu Zhou lay down on the bed refreshingly, closed his eyes and meditated on the "system", sinking his consciousness into the system space.
The last time he completed the task, he just received the task reward, and the new task has not been touched.
Now that the theoretical model of the electrochemical interface structure has been completed, Lu Zhou has enough time to finish the work at hand.
It's also time to see what multiple choice questions the system will make him this time.
