Chapter 424: International Congress of Mathematicians!

The morning of August 1, 2018.
The crowd was crowded at the venue.
As the largest and most important conference in the international mathematical community, the International Conference of Mathematicians is known as the Olympic reputation of the mathematical community. Since 1897, there have been no interruptions except for the two World Wars.
As an international conference that provides a space for mathematicians around the world to discuss academic issues, meet old friends, and make new friends, each conference plays a pivotal role in the history of mathematics.
This year's conference is of special significance.
Not only because this is the first international mathematician conference held in the southern hemisphere, but also because of the millennium problem, the conference has received considerable attention from the beginning.
In formal clothes, he came near the venue. On the corridor outside the venue, Lu Zhou just met Professor Fefferman, so the two entered the venue together.
Standing not far from the door, I found a less crowded place and Lu Zhou looked at the table below.
It's just eight o'clock and there is an hour left before the opening ceremony.
Fefferman: "I heard that CTV in your country yesterday applied to IMU for a live broadcast license for the conference."
Lu Zhou glanced at the corner of the conference hall not far away. From the row of cameras, he saw the logo of Station C.
Maybe he noticed his gaze. The little brother carrying the camera pointed his camera wisely towards him.
Quickly looking back, Lu Zhou asked, "Is this rare?"
"Of course it is rare, at least in my image, this is the first time." Professor Fefferman smiled and patted Lu Zhou's shoulder, "How about, do you feel nervous?"
Lu Zhou thought for a moment: "... It's okay."
He even survived the report yesterday. Today is just an opening ceremony, and he doesn't need to do anything special.
As for station C ...
This is not the first time he has been on board.
Professor Fefferman looked at Lu Zhou in surprise: "It's unbelievable, but it's 1.4 billion broadcast media, don't you feel at all?"
Lu Zhou coughed softly: "How can it be so exaggerated ..."
"... In fact, there is one more thing that may be important to you, but I'm not sure if I want to tell you." With that, the expression on Fefferman's face suddenly hesitated, it seemed that he could not decide what he wanted Do not say.
Lu Zhou: "What's up?"
After looking around, confirming that no one was staring at this side, Fefferman gave a slight cough and lowered his voice. "At the party yesterday, I heard an old friend talk about the Fields Award. He revealed to me the list of winners ... "
Startled by the news, Lu Zhou looked at him in surprise.
After a while, he said.
"... It's not great."
Professor Fafferman said with a serious face: "It's not very good, so I hope you keep it for me."
Lu Zhou looked around.
Although I knew I shouldn't ask, I couldn't hold back my curiosity.
"... Can I ask who is on the list?"
Professor Fefferman raised an eyebrow: "Do you really want to know?"
Lu Zhou nodded: "... um."
Suppressing his voice, Fefferman continued, "I'm sorry your name isn't on top ... although we all think that this year's Fields Medal is yours."
Lu Zhou :? ? ?
Hold the grass? !!
Isn't it?
Isn't that enough? !!
The moment Lu Zhou was surprised by this sentence, a familiar voice came from the side.
"Don't believe his nonsense, no one can know the list of winners in advance before the list is announced, even if that person is Feverman," came over impassively, Professor Deligne politely pierced in person After Feifeman's nonsense, he stared at him seriously, "Or, who do you tell 'that friend'?"
Staring at Deligne, Fefferman gave a cough, and quickly and subtly looked away: "Cough, my dear Professor Deligne ... This is just a joke of an active atmosphere, please don't be so serious, otherwise you Don't you think life will be a lot less fun? "
Lu Zhou was speechless: "... you almost lied to me."
After a haha, Fefferman patted Lu Zhou's shoulder and said with a smile, "Don't be so serious! Look, isn't it a lot easier now?"
Lu Zhou: "Before you made this joke, I would have been very relaxed."
After hesitated, Professor Fefferman sighed, "Well, I apologize to you ..."
...
Nine o'clock.
Scholars in the venue took the seats one after another, and the 28th International Congress of Mathematicians officially opened.
The Chairperson of the Organizing Committee, Professor Siviana, and the Chairperson of the International Mathematical Union, Professor Sisen Zhongwen respectively delivered opening speeches on the stage, thanking the local organizers of the conference, and new and old friends who came to the conference. The opening of the current mathematical conference.
After the opening ceremony, it was the awards session.
At the moment of entering this session, the atmosphere of the meeting was immediately pushed to Gao Chao.
The first to be announced is the Gaussian Prize winner, which awards mainly for achievements in the field of applied mathematics.
Professor David Donohue from Stanford University has won this year's Gauss Award for his basic contributions to the mathematical, statistical, and computational analysis of important issues in signal processing.
This is followed by the Chen Sheng Award, which has no field restrictions and is a lifetime achievement award. This year's Chen Sheng Award was presented to Masaaki Kashihara in recognition of his outstanding and fundamental contributions to algebraic analysis and representation in the past 50 years.
Then came the Rivalati Award, the winner was a Turk named Ali Nasin ...
Finally, as the focal point of the awards ceremony and the highlight of the opening ceremony of the International Congress of Mathematicians, the President of the International Mathematical Union will announce the list of winners of the Fields Prize.
Most of the mathematical achievements were born under the age of 40, and the Fields Award is the highest honor that mathematicians under the age of 40 can get, and it is known as the Nobel Prize in mathematics.
Although the medal does not determine whether a scholar is great, the scholars who have been recognized by this medal are all super-class scholars who have influenced the development of mathematics.
Gap on this list announcement.
Many people held their breaths unconsciously and stared at the stage with hot eyes.
Especially those candidates who are expected to win the Philippine Award.
Sitting in the middle of the crowd, Zhang Wei looked dignified, his fist clenched unconsciously.
Sophie Morel, sitting next to Molina, rubbed her index finger gently in front of her knees, wondering whether she was just nervous or praying.
And James Maynard from the UK, sitting at the corner of the conference hall with arms folded. The young analytic number theory expert is also one of the top candidates for the Philippine Awards, although he has lost to someone in the competition of twin prime guesses ...
Perhaps because he felt the enthusiasm of the audience's eyes, Professor Mori Zhongwen smiled kindly to the audience.
After clearing his throat, he read the speech of the first winner in a solemn and steady voice.
"He has a high level of understanding and application of mathematical methods, as well as extraordinary ambition and never-ending curiosity."
"... From Zhou-Lu's theorem to the twin prime number theorem, from Polignac-Lu's theorem to Goldbach-Lu's theorem, his research on additive number theory has injected an ancient and great discipline of number theory Fresh blood gives it a new vitality. "
"Not only number theory, but also functional analysis, group theory, topology, differential geometry, partial differential equations ... his work spans multiple disciplines, and the difficulty and contribution of this are no longer trivial to describe."
"I believe this is not just genius inspiration, but also countless sweats."
Sen Zhongwen, the master, paused and announced solemnly.
"The first winner is, Lu Zhou!"
