Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Perelman's room was not far from the staircase, and he could see when he stepped sideways after going up the stairs.

"The room is a bit small, please don't mind."

Dropping this sentence, Perelman put the plastic bag in his right hand on the ground, and took the key from his pocket.

Although he was mentally prepared for the situation in the room, after he really opened the door, Lu Zhou was startled by the situation in the room.

I saw that all kinds of clothing and daily necessities had been put on the sofa armrests in such a messy way that all kinds of debris piled on the floor made people look away, and they couldn't see where they were standing.

Lu Zhou admits that although he occasionally does things like littering himself, generally either he remembers to pack it himself, or Xiao Ai will do a good job for him.

But obviously.

Perelman, who devotes all his life to mathematics, not only has no one who can pack his clothes, but also has a casual attitude in life.

No wonder many scholars he knows have weird expressions on their faces when referring to this person's name.

Walking next to Lu Zhou, the physicist Albert who was ridiculed by Professor Krugman as a novel more famous than a whisper, muttered quietly.

"I thought mathematicians were all organized people."

Not knowing how to answer this question, Lu Zhou chose to be silent.

As for Schultz, who stood on his other side, it was an awkward explanation.

"Generally it is ... but there are exceptions to everything, and some people choose to be informal in their lives and use the time they save for more meaningful things."

"This kind of life is really envious, but unfortunately it's not me. Since I embarked on the path of mathematics, most of my time has been wasted on meaningless useless work ..." I didn't care about the stranger treating himself Perlman, who whispered, put the "supply" purchased this week in the refrigerator while negating Schultz's justification for himself, walked back, and continued to say nothing.

"Do you want something to drink? Although there is only water and tea here, if you want something else, I can go out and buy it."

He really didn't want to increase the burden on his life, Lu Zhou said cautiously.

"Water will do."

Schultz echoed and nodded: "Me too."

Seeing Krugman and the stranger nodded, Perelman's lips were rarely squeezed, as if a rusty smile appeared.

"OK, wait."

Soon, five disposable cups were placed on the table, and Perelman then took a 5-liter bottle of mineral water from the side and poured a glass for each person.

Seeing a few people looking at him with a strange expression, he didn't care, took his cup and took a sip, then he turned his attention to Schultz, and the topic went directly to the topic.

"Why are you here? I have never heard of you coming."

Schultz: "Isn't it possible to visit old friends on the way to the IMU conference?"

"I don't have much to visit, I'm comfortable living alone ..."

There seemed to be some disappointment with Schultz's statement. After hearing that he was not looking for himself with any problems, Perelman immediately lost interest in him, and then quickly fell on Lu Zhou.

Staring at him up and down for a while, Perelman suddenly muttered in his characteristic "sloppy but rough" voice.

"I've read your thesis and your understanding of group theory and complex plane problems is impressive. Especially the super elliptic curve analysis method used in solving the Riemann conjecture ... Of course, what surprised me most was When you studied Sullivan's conjecture, you defined a complex completely algebraic number cluster X on the complex projective space CP ＾ (n + r). I haven't figured out how you came up with it. "

Topology and differential geometry are areas where Perelman is proficient. Compared to the quasi-Riemann conjecture, problems involving differential manifolds are more interesting to him.

Especially the classification of differential manifolds. Although this research direction is unpopular, it is unexpectedly impossible to ignore. It can even be said to be one of the core problems of differential manifolds.

Sullivan, who was completely reconciled, suspected that he had also studied it, but for a while he didn't think of any good way to put it aside.

As a result, when he almost forgot about it, at the beginning of the year, he suddenly saw the paper published by Lu Zhou, who had been studying Riemann's conjecture, published in the "Mathematics Yearbook", and completely solved this problem.

This time surprised him to doubt life.

"... Sullivan's guess?"

Lu Zhou stumbled a little, then reacted, smiled and said, "... thanks to the thesis published by Professor Kreck in the" Journal of Mathematics "in 1999, it brought me a lot of research Of course, it may also be because I was not studying this problem at the time, so I was able to think from a perspective that most people would not think of. "

At that time, he was answering Chen Yang's question about the problems encountered in studying Hodge's conjecture. If it was not a reminder of the editor of the "Mathematics Yearbook", he would not even know that his research turned out to be in the differential manifold classification problem Another representation of the well-known major proposition.

However, when he heard that Lu Zhou was not really studying the classification of differential manifolds, Perelman and Schultz's faces were surprised.

Fortunately, they did not know that this problem was devised by Lu Zhou for a whole day, otherwise he would only fall on the ground.

With his eyes closed, Perelman took a sip of cold water and continued to ask.

"Enviable luck, although I don't think it can be explained by luck ... then, in a word, do you have any questions here to discuss with me?"

Lu Zhou felt a little embarrassed for a moment when he saw the imperceptible expectation flashing in his eyes.

In fact, he was just as boring as Schultz. After all, the latter is better to visit an old friend, and he is just holding and visiting the Hermitage and other places without any different ideas, and came to satisfy his curiosity about the hermit.

However, to say so directly, I still feel a bit rude.

After all, he is not a gorilla in the zoo. From the attitude of this man who does not want to make nonsense on non-essential things, he is obviously not the kind of person who likes socializing.

What to do?

be honest?

But Lu Zhou was a little worried. If he told the truth, he would be blackened by this guy.

At that moment, his mind suddenly flashed, remembering the issues he had discussed with Chen Yang during the discussion of Hodge's conjecture at the Jinling Advanced Institute some time ago.

"Can I borrow a piece of paper?"

"Yes, there are many here."

Soon, Perelman pulled out a dirty notebook and a ballpoint pen without a pen cover from the sofa next to it, and handed it to Lu Zhou's hand.

After receiving the paper money, Lu Zhou wrote his own question in a notebook under the curious eyes of several people, and then passed it to Perelman.

"... That's it."

"... Look," Perelman quickly glanced at the formula after taking the notebook, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes. "Are you studying Hodge conjecture?"

Lu Zhou bit his head and said, "Okay."

In fact, it is not a lie. Although he has not really entered the study of this issue, there are still people in his research institute who often discuss such issues with him.

However, Perelman seemed to believe that it was true, and nodded like this, muttering.

"No wonder, I was studying Hodge conjecture. I said that after reading your paper, I feel that the methods mentioned in it seem to be used to solve this type of problem ..."

Schultz had a surprised expression, and looked at Lu Zhou strangely.

"... when did you study Hodge's conjecture?"

Lu Zhou smiled embarrassed.

"When not busy ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Schultz:" ... "

Time passed minute by minute, staring at the problem for ten minutes, Perelman did not respond at all. It's like forgetting the guests sitting here, completely immersed in their own world.

Some couldn't sit still. Albert aside stood up and took a closer look at the notebook, but was quickly defeated by the line of ghost-like expressions, and sat back with a headache.

As for Krugman, who was sitting next to him, he had expected that he would not understand him, but he had not moved at all, and was drinking tea there very calmly.

Lu Zhou said with a little guilty conscience as he watched the Russian man in deep thought.

"... Actually you don't have to give me a reply right away, and it's the same for sending me an email afterwards."

"... The same thing, this question is not as clear as a few words," agreeing with Lu Zhou's statement, after persuading, he closed the notebook and continued to look aside. Professor Krugman and Albert, "What about you? Tell me something if you have any questions."

Krugman took a deep breath, and after brewing for a long time, he finally found the opportunity to speak. After clearing his throat, he solemnly said, "We are here for a significant research topic, which involves many Complex mathematical calculations are beyond our ability-- "

However, after talking for a long time, he just spoke and was interrupted by Albert sitting next to him.

I saw the physicist stood up and said to everyone in a passionate / emotional voice.

"Gentlemen, do you believe that our future can be predicted?"

Almost at the same time that this sentence was spoken.

The whole single apartment less than twenty square meters was instantly quiet ...
