Chapter 268 Math Freak
Suddenly, Qin Yuanqing was stunned.

Looking at a big man in doubt, the others are all neatly dressed and well-groomed, but the big man is not flattering.

The shaggy beard covered the chin, and the sparse curly hair was pulled back like a dog's tail. Although the shape was somewhat similar to Schultz's hair, it showed two completely different styles.

Looking at what he was wearing, he was wearing a pair of worn-out jeans and a shirt. The shirt was brownish-yellow and exuded a peculiar smell. It hadn't been washed for an unknown amount of time.

Where did this beggar come from? How did he come in here?

But it's not right, this big man looks like a foreigner, he is probably a bear, and if he is a beggar, he will not come to China but go to Western Europe, where it is much more prosperous than China, and the welfare is also good, beggars can eat and drink Okay, otherwise why would the refugees from the Middle East go to Europe one after another.

Also, this big man is still with Wiles and the others, obviously he is not a beggar.

Seeing Qin Yuanqing's doubts, Faltins introduced with a smile: "Qin, this one is Grigory Perelman, he is a talented mathematician, and the Poincaré conjecture was made by him." Prove it!"

"Perelman is a guy with more personality, but don't look at him like this. Although he looks like an inaccessible guy, as long as you ask him some math questions, he will answer you very patiently and have a good attitude. Surprising! He used to work at the Steklov Institute of Mathematics, and his colleagues have nothing but praise for him!" Faltings said.

Grigory Perelman! ?
Qin Yuanqing couldn't help but carefully looked at the big man again, with expressions of doubt, puzzlement, amazement, and admiration in his eyes, and the information about Grigory Perelman couldn't help appearing in his mind.

Perelman, born in 1966, is a Jewish, Russian mathematician.He showed extraordinary talent in mathematics since he was a child. In 1982, he participated in the IMO and won the gold medal after only three months in middle school. He was the first gold medal winner with a full score of 42 points in IMO history, setting a record.At that time, a university in the United States invited him to go to university and provided him with a generous scholarship, but he rejected the invitation to study in the United States.After graduating from high school, Perelman entered the Department of Mathematics of St. Petersburg University without examination. In the second year of university, he chose the most complicated research direction in mathematics-differential geometry.

His classmates described him like this: He is as smart as an alien, and he is proficient in all the majors he has studied; he is happy to help everyone in his studies.A classmate named Georginavich recalled: "He only lived in the way he liked. He was indifferent to his appearance, often carrying a tattered bag full of books and wearing a worn-out dress. , he doesn’t cut his hair long. He doesn’t smoke or drink, he is a good boy. During the years in college, he didn’t talk to us about anything except mathematics. No doubt, he is better.

In 1993, Perelman went to the United States as a visiting scholar, during which he solved many mathematical problems, including the famous "soul conjecture".His achievements have attracted the attention of the American mathematics community. A number of famous universities such as the University of California, Berkeley, Stanford University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Princeton University have hired him to teach with high salaries, but he has declined.He chose to return to the turbulent Russia. In this point alone, Perelman is better than many people who study abroad and then dislike their motherland.

Perelman has been working at the Jacklove Institute of Mathematics since 1994.According to Perelman’s colleague Afjay, “Although he is a bit withdrawn, he is friendly to others. He is very friendly to friends and colleagues. However, when he learned that someone misused the scientific research funds in the institute, he behaved He was very angry. He despised those who cheated academically." Because of his achievements in mathematics, the European Mathematical Society awarded him the "Outstanding Mathematician Award" in 1996, but he refused.

Of course, what is more interesting is that from 2002 to 2003, Perelman posted three papers on the website, which successfully solved the "Poincaré Conjecture", one of the seven major problems in mathematics, which shocked the entire mathematics community.Experts believe that solving this puzzle is likely to have "exciting" applications in physics and other fields, helping scientists figure out the shape of the universe.Later, Perelman was invited to give lecture tours in famous universities such as Massachusetts Institute of Technology, New York University, Columbia University, etc., and received wide acclaim from the academic circle and follow-up reports from the media. In 2004, the Steklov Institute of Mathematics recommended him to be elected as an academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, but he rejected it.The following year, he resigned from the office; since then, he has disappeared without a trace.

Some people say that it was because Perelman was angry with the pedantry of the mathematics community. He posted the paper on the website but did not submit it to a professional mathematics journal. The mathematics world is no longer the sunshine-filled mathematics world, but the dark and sinful mathematics world.He disdains dealing with mathematicians, so he refuses to be photographed by the media, and he also dismisses interviews with prestigious magazines such as "Nature" and "Science".

Of course, some people conveyed Perelman's words: "I don't think anything I say is acceptable.

The slightest interest in the public." "I don't want to say because I value my privacy, or that I just want to hide anything I do.There's no top secret here, I just don't think the public is interested in me. "

This is a weirdo!

A rare weirdo in history!

He has no interest in windfalls, nor in honors. In 2006, the International Mathematical Union decided to award the Fields Medal to Perelman, but Perelman chose to refuse this great honor.At the same time, he also refused to accept the "Millennium Mathematics Prize" that is as high as 100 million US dollars in prize money!

Some people even speculated with conspiracy theories, saying that Perelman did not really prove the "Poincaré Conjecture". People tear it apart.

But for these messages, Perelman never came out to respond.

"Professor Perelman, hello, welcome to Huaxia, welcome to Shuimu!" ​​After knowing that the big man is Perelman, Qin Yuanqing exchanged for an intermediate Russian card. Greetings from Perelman.

"I'm no longer a professor!" Mumbling in Russian, Perelman still shook hands with Qin Yuanqing: "You are a real mathematician, I have read all your papers, and I have to say that you are full of talent , no wonder His Majesty Grothendieck gave you his manuscript!"

Qin Yuanqing did not expect that this maverick would respect Grothendieck so much and call him His Majesty.

"Qin, this guy Perelman came here by himself by train, and he doesn't have a place to live yet!" Faltins said.

Seeing Perelman carrying a tattered backpack, Qin Yuanqing immediately understood what was going on, and said with a smile, "I'll make arrangements now. I haven't seen you for a while, so let me be the host. Please enjoy it." Have a taste of my Chinese food."

The others had no objections. He first asked Perelman to go to the hotel to check in, and then first invited everyone to drink tea in a quiet place in the hotel, and waited for Perelman to come down.

"Everyone, my hometown is a famous tea town. This kind of tea is called Dahongpao. Everyone, try it!" Qin Yuanqing brewed Dahongpao, introduced it, and personally demonstrated how to drink tea.

Every time he went back to his hometown in the past few years, Qin Yuanqing would buy a batch of tea, either as a gift, or in the office for everyone to drink, or to drink by himself, and gradually developed the habit of drinking tea.

Not far away, Qin Yuanqing's students were all very excited. It was the first time they had seen so many great mathematics masters, each of whom was a Fields Medal winner.

Even Perelman, who has become a legend in the mathematics world, was present.

"Look, that Professor Perelman tidied up, and he became so handsome!"

"There is also Faltins, he is also a legend!"

Some of Qin Yuanqing's students have seen some Fields Medal winners before, and some have not.As for those who came to Qin Yuanqing's command last year, they have never seen such a big battle.

And when Qiu Chengtong and Tao Zhexuan came, it can basically be said that half of all the winners of the Fields Medal since its inception were still alive, and those who did not come were not in this field or had more important things.

After making tea, he went straight to the banquet hall of the hotel and ordered a table of delicious dishes. Qin Yuanqing took the initiative to explain and introduce various famous dishes.

"Qin, the general solution of the Yang-Mills equation has been verified by supercomputing, and the result is accurate. It can be said that you have solved the Yang-Mills theory and the unified theory of strong electricity perfectly. Congratulations!" Witten said with a smile.

For mathematicians, as long as the existence and general solution of the solution of the Yang-Mills equation are solved, it is easy to verify the solutions to the problems of mass intermittent, strong interaction and electromagnetic interaction in these two papers.

It can be said that although the mathematics community has not issued an acknowledgment that Qin Yuanqing has indeed solved the Yang-Mills theory and the unified theory of strong electricity, it is only a matter of time. This report will be recognized soon, perhaps within a month.

"These research institutes are too bureaucratic, they have to verify and verify, hehe~~" Perelman said suddenly, sarcastically.

In his opinion, since the thesis is out, it is to prove it. Unless you can point out that there are logical errors or big mistakes, otherwise you have to admit if you can’t find the problem. How can you procrastinate because you don’t understand it.

If you don’t understand, it’s a question of your level, not the level of writing a thesis.
"Qin wrote the thesis so clearly. If it were me, the space used could be reduced by half. There are many things that don't need to be explained so clearly." Perelman said.
