Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

After Christmas, Lu Zhou's return trip has entered the countdown. ． Fastest update

There are less than three days left. Before returning to China, he intends to deal with the matter at hand first, and saves him to come back here after the year. He also has to be busy where to start.

The first is about the "existence and smoothness of the solution of the three-dimensional incompressible navier-stokes equation".

For Lu Zhou, this can be said to be the most important research topic besides the study of plasma turbulence.

Since the establishment of the "ns research group", only one discussion meeting on the distribution of work has been held so far, and now he will temporarily leave Princeton again. In order not to delay research progress, he must explain the situation to his cooperative research partners.

The next day, Lu Zhou went to Nassau to submit a vacation application, and then went to the building of Princeton University's Department of Mathematics to find Professor Fefferman's office.

When he arrived, Professor Fefferman was discussing with his students the academic meeting of the American Mathematical Society next month.

Looking at Lu Zhou appearing at the door of the office, Professor Fefferman quickly noticed the fake strips pinched in his hand, so he smiled and said.

"Are you planning to return?"

Lu Zhou: "Yes, compared to Christmas, the Spring Festival is our holiday. I will probably come back after the end of the year in mid-February."

After listening to Lu Zhou's words, Professor Fefferman nodded in agreement and said in a relaxed tone: "You really need a holiday to relax yourself. Few scholars push yourself so hard, in such a short time. Is involved in so much research here. "

"It's so hard?" Lu Zhou shook his head. "I didn't feel that I was forcing myself. Rather, it's better to say that research itself is a lot of fun."

"I thought so when I was young," Professor Fefferman said with a smile. "But now I find that no matter how interesting the math problem is, it should be modest."

Lu Zhou said silently: "... that's because you have already received all the honors you can get."

Earlier this year, the Wolf Foundation announced a list of winners. One of the most influential math prize winners was Professor Fefferman.

In the field of mathematics, the Wolf Prize can be regarded as an award similar to the lifetime achievement award. It is mainly awarded to mathematicians over 40 years of age in recognition of their long-term contributions to the mathematics community.

As the youngest Fields Award winner ever, Fefferman was awarded the title of genius when he was young, and now he is highly praised for his lifetime achievement award. As far as the status of a mathematician is concerned, he can say that he has no regrets in his life.

"How come? The award is inexhaustible, not to mention I still lack an Abel Prize," Professor Fefferman said with a smirk. "In short, let's enjoy life now, I will say nothing before February Send you any email. "

Lu Zhou: "What about the ns equation?"

Professor Fefferman insisted: "Let's talk after a month has passed."

Seeing that he had no intention of changing his mind, Lu Zhou shrugged helplessly.

"Well, since you insist."

...

In addition to the research topics co-developed with Professor Fefferman, the topic of "Kakutani Conjecture" led by Lu Zhou personally came to an end with the completion of the dissertation.

Perhaps it was because the corresponding author named Lu Zhou, or it was because of the attractiveness of Kakutani's conjecture to number theory enthusiasts. The paper published on arxiv caused a lot of sensation in the field of number theory.

Many people call the proof of Kakutani's conjecture another victory of the "group construction method".

And the most surprising thing is that this time it was not Lu Zhou who shot it himself, but three of his students ...

On the morning of the 27th, there is still one day before the return flight.

Sitting in the office of the Advanced Research Institute, Lu Zhou was reviewing the paper submitted by Willa.

Although he has seen the entire certification process, there are no major problems, but as their tutor, before the formal submission of the paper, he is obliged to help them double-check again to rule out minor details.

And, determine the signature of the paper.

As a general practice, the names of three people are listed on the paper in order of contribution.

As for Lu Zhou, it was hung in the position of Sisuo and corresponding author.

Of course, as their mentor, he certainly has the right to own these achievements, but as a disciplined boss, he certainly would not do so.

The average mentor may be reluctant to give such results to the student, but this problem does not exist for him.

A glorious conjecture.

Even if it was put on him, it was at best just icing on the cake.

In addition to the paper's attribution, such collaborative papers generally also indicate in the paper which work the authors have completed. Especially in the international arena, the major research institutions pay more attention to this part than the ranking order of the authors.

However, when checking the paper, Lu Zhou noticed that Vera did not subdivide these things, but just used a sentence "these-autho-ontributed-equally-to-this-work", and skipped this part.

According to the academic practice, adding this sentence to the paper means that all authors have the same contribution in the paper, and no one is redundant.

This also means that all authors in the paper are considered as co-authors, with or without an additional asterisk after the name.

"Is this really good?" After checking the paper from beginning to end, Lu Zhou cast a glance at Willa, who was standing across the desk, "It's unfair to you."

Although not directly involved in the follow-up research, as their mentor, Lu Zhou has been following up on their project progress.

For example, the weekly discussion meeting, he will mostly be present as long as people are in Princeton, and he will carefully read the report of the periodic results.

Except for the help provided to them, it is no exaggeration to say that Willa's contribution to the entire subject research has reached more than 70%, and Qin Yue and Hardy's contributions account for only the remaining 30%.

Willa shook her head and said softly, "I just like to study these issues. As for who contributes more ... I don't think it's better to be too detailed ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Since you have said so , I respect your decision. "After hearing what she said, Lu Zhou no longer persuaded.

Qin Yue worked hard, and Hardy was a bit suspicious of cheap, but Vera was willing to give them equal credit, and as a mentor he wouldn't say anything.

At most, it was just a pity for her. She could have gotten a higher evaluation.

After a pause, Lu Zhou put the paper on the table and watched Willa continue.

"According to the original agreement, I will help you apply for graduation. About March or April, the graduation certificate will be issued to you. If you plan to read a blog with me, it is best to submit the application as soon as possible, and I also Okay. "

For the familiar students, what he interviewed was just walking through the field, and what his students were capable of, he knew everything.

After listening to Lu Zhou's instructions, Willa nodded seriously, as always.

"Well, I know!"
