Chapter 426: Philippine Award

Just as Lu Zhou and Schultz talked about the Langlands program from algebraic geometry, the other two Fields Prize winners were also whispering the awards.
"... When I escaped from Kurd, I didn't expect it to be today. When I first entered the University of Nottingham, I didn't even speak English." Looking at the medal in my hand, I remembered the last year of my undergraduate who fled Iran to Britain Experience, Bill Carr sighed.
From leaving his homeland and language barriers to becoming a major contributor to bi-rational geometry, he proved the finiteness of the fano cluster and his outstanding contribution to solving many problems of the Minimal Models Program (also known as the Morigetsu Program). The main reason he won the Fields Award.
"It's not easy." Venkatsh, who was sitting next to him, reassured. "Australia has never happened in such a terrible way. Compared to your past, we are so lucky."
The 1980s was the time of the Iran-Iraq war, and it was not easy to maintain a love of mathematics in the age of gunfire.
"It's okay, these are all over," put the medal in a briefcase, and Bill Carr's face squeezed a smile. "Kurd is a place where children are not very interested in math. I hope this winner The news makes a smile on the faces of 40 million people. "
After that, the International Federation of Mathematicians also awarded the Navarrena Prize. As the highest award in the field of computer science mathematics, the winner is Professor Daskalakis of MIT.
After the awards ceremony, the opening ceremony came to an end.
The local arts group in Rio de Janeiro brings unique Brazilian performances to attendees from all over the world.
Looking at the Inca natives and the crown like a peacock opening the screen, Lu Zhou always felt that this thing was more like a performance art than dancing.
At least he couldn't feel it at all, what was so good about it.
Maybe this is the cultural difference.
...
After the performance of the arts, the main director of the alliance, Cisen Zhongwen, announced the end of the opening ceremony.
Most of the attendees left the scene happily.
Leaving from his seat, Lu Zhou was about to leave the venue and went to the restaurant for lunch, and was soon surrounded by long-awaited reporters.
The first reporter to ask is CTV.
I saw the reporter's sister with a professional smile on her face, and asked politely: "Hello Professor Lu, as the first Chinese scholar to receive this honor, what do you think at this moment?"
This question is a bit difficult.
excitement? Pleasure? As expected?
Seems a little bit, but not very accurate.
He didn't know how to describe the mood at the moment.
Looking at the camera facing him, Lu Zhou smiled embarrassedly: "I feel OK."
Hearing this sentence, the little brother of the reporter carrying the camera almost didn't hold the camera steady.
Yes ...
The Philippine Award is OK ... Professor Lu!
This interview was broadcast, I'm afraid it will become a sprint tomorrow.
The microphone in the reporter's sister's hand also shaken, but soon returned to normal, changed a question, and continued to ask with a smile.
"I heard that you are very famous at Jinling University. Many young students see you as an example of struggle. Do you have anything to say to them on this international stage?"
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Don't forget your original intention, you always have it!"
It wasn't just Lu Zhou who was surrounded by reporters. The other three Philippine award winners also received much attention.
Especially Bill Carr.
Although slightly less academically accomplished than the other three winners, his special identity tag surprised him more by the Western media.
Although this popularity does not necessarily mean that good things will happen to him.
It was a bit annoying to be entangled by reporters, and Bill Carr was about to find a chance to slip away, but at this moment, an embarrassing thing happened.
"Wait, what about my medal?"
An exclamation sounded, so that all nearby shots were directed at Bill Carr's side.
Ignoring those shots, Bill Carr looked around anxiously for the medals that had just arrived.
Taking note of the situation here, Professor Sylvia, the head of the organizing committee of the conference, came over and asked Calbil, looking anxiously.
"what's going on?"
"My medal, it's just in my briefcase ..." said in an unbelievable tone, and Bill Carr, who was about to find the briefcase, suddenly froze.
Because he soon discovered that not only the 14k medals were gone, but his briefcase with mobile phone and wallet was gone.
Professor Viana quickly realized the seriousness of the problem, looked at the secretary next to him, and sighed.
"Call the police."
The secretary nodded and pulled out his cell phone.
Although as the host of the conference, they did not want to make things bigger.
But at this moment, apart from contacting the police, they have no better way.
The news that the Fields Prize was stolen quickly spread and caused a lot of commotion in the venue.
Although the briefcase was quickly found near the hotel, the phone, wallet and medals were all gone.
In accordance with the principle of open communication, the Congress of Mathematicians itself does not restrict the identity of participants. Anyone can freely express academic opinions and exchange academic questions with people at the Congress ~ EbookFREE.me ~ No one expected that thieves would be mixed in the conference.
In the face of multiple media interviews, a spokesman for the International Federation of Mathematicians expressed disappointment at Rio de Janeiro's law and order situation, and said that if the medals were ultimately not found, a special ceremony would be held to re-award the unfortunate winner.
Lu Zhou, who just got rid of the reporter, also heard from Billy Carr from Hardy.
In deep sympathy for the Kurd brother, Lu Zhou subconsciously touched the medal in his pocket.
Fortunately, his medal is still there.
Hardy's expression was awkward, listening to the sound of the discussions next to him.
"... Professor, although I don't want to say that, Rio de Janeiro does not have good law and order. If you plan to go out, please remember to keep your medals and wallet."
Lu Zhou nodded silently, looking at the rare, joke-free expression on Hardy's face.
"……I will."
After coming out of the hall where the opening ceremony was held, Lu Zhou decided to walk around the conference site.
The reports at the International Conference of Mathematicians are usually of high quality. In addition to the one-hour and 45-minute reports that begin at a fixed time, there are also 10-minute reports for general scholars. Any scholars participating can participate in groups of interest. Apply.
There were more than twenty subject groups at the conference. If you subdivide them, you can get more.
For this opportunity to intuitively understand the latest research trends in academia, Lu Zhou naturally would not let it go so easily.
When he first arrived in the corridor, when Lu Zhou was thinking about which subject group to go to, he suddenly heard a familiar and eager voice from the side.
"Professor Lu, long time no see!"
