From top stream to scholar

"I remember, you don't seem to have published any papers in N/S journals, right?" Lin Wei suddenly remembered this matter, whether it was Nature or Science, Yu Wanzhou had never published any papers.

Regarding this matter, Yu Wanzhou did not evade at all, "Isn't it good for me to publish papers in top mathematics journals ActaMathematica and Annals of Mathematics? Why should I contribute to N/S journals?"

"Watering?" Yu Wanzhou frowned, "Brother also watered it."

Lin Wei was a little embarrassed, "When I first arrived at Princeton University, I did flood with them. Usually, by splitting a paper into several parts, several N/S journals can be published. Mainly the top journals in mathematics, I didn't have confidence either."

"Thinking that since I can't give it the top journal, I should try the N/S journal. I didn't expect it to be quite easy."

"That's not true." Yu Wanzhou said with a smile, "There are quite a few people pouring water on it, but almost all of them are at the boss level. Those who can really pour water are actually those people."

"Brother, I really want to ask you something." Yu Wanzhou looked at Lin Wei and said, "What is the fun of pouring water?"

"How can I answer this question for you..." Lin Wei thought for a while, and then said, "Actually, the joy of irrigation lies in the joy of seeing journals, and after returning to China, there will be more papers and journals that can be published. Get it."

"Of course, it's of no use to you, a big guy who only publishes papers in top journals. Anyway, every paper of yours must be in top journals, and the entire top journals of mathematics seem to be under your contract for a year." .”

"As long as you dare to publish a paper, top journals will dare to publish your paper."

"Boss is different from our scientific research dogs." Lin Wei shook his head.

"..." Yu Wanzhou didn't know what to say for a moment, he didn't know whether his senior brother was teasing him or himself.Well, he should continue to read the N issue.

Along the way, the two didn't speak much.Yu Wanzhou rested for a while after reading the N magazine, and when she arrived in Philadelphia, she sent a message to Jiang Yi and said she was safe, and then Lin Wei drove Yu Wanzhou back to Princeton.

Back home, Yu Wanzhou sat on the sofa, looked at the decoration that had not changed, and lay down on the sofa a little tired.

Rubbing between her brows, Yu Wanzhou took a nap.Then he got up and had dinner, returned to his room, and continued to study the subject.

Put down the scratch paper, turn on the lights, it's already night in Princeton.As for Huaguo, there should be nothing wrong with it in the morning, and he has to adjust for the jet lag.Instead of going to the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton tomorrow, I will rest at home.Thinking about it, he sent a text message to Lin Wei.Probably the senior brother also had this idea. After replying to Yu Wanzhou with an OK, there was no other reply.

The task of the subject is very difficult, and he needs a lot of hard work.Yu Wanzhou took a deep breath and plunged into this research.

After returning to Princeton, Yu Wanzhou didn't have much contact with Jiang Yi. The key is that his subject is too heavy, and Yang Zhengqi will pester Yu Wanzhou from time to time, asking him to explain mathematics to him.Yu Wanzhou had no choice but to find some free time, so Yang Zhengqi rushed into his office to find him.

Looking at the child's eyes full of thirst for knowledge, Yu Wanzhou was too embarrassed to let Yang Zhengqi leave.

Yang Zhengqi is a shy boy who doesn't like to talk very much. The place he likes to go besides his office is the library.After staying in Princeton for so long, I have never been to Philadelphia or New York.I heard that this guy only passes through these two places when he comes to Princeton University.

I was able to stay in the big rural area of ​​Princeton, and study my studies every day.Not very good at words, why does Yu Wanzhou feel that he is quite similar to himself.

Every time Yang Zhengqi saw him, he smiled shyly.Even when asking questions, he was very aggressive and dared to ask any questions—of course, academic questions.

"Zhengqi." After getting to know each other well, Yu Wanzhou and Yang Zhengqi talked a lot more easily.And Yang Zhengqi was still respectful to Yu Wanzhou, which made Yu Wanzhou a little unbearable, but this guy really couldn't help it.He didn't listen to anything, and finally let him go.

"God Yu, tell me."

"When are you going to graduate?" Yang Zhengqi was almost staying in Yu Wanzhou's office, and Yu Wanzhou gave him the key to the office, although he would not follow a certain professor for his undergraduate studies.But professors love it, and it's not a problem to have a student tutor alone in their office.

If you want to find Yu Wanzhou for private counseling, especially if you can sit in Yu Wanzhou's office every day and ask Yu Wanzhou directly if you have any questions, the entire Princeton University may be able to arrange it from Yu Wanzhou's office. to the school gate.

But in the end, only Yang Zhengqi was able to stay in Yu Wanzhou's office in an upright manner. This guy was so annoying that he came to ask Yu Wanzhou questions every now and then, and his questions were pretty good.When Yu Wanzhou was explaining, he was also in a happy mood, and then Yang Zhengqi got the key to Yu Wanzhou's office logically.

Even sitting in Yu Wanzhou's office, Yu Wanzhou doesn't come to Princeton University every day.He, the dean of the mathematics department, is actually no different from the boss with legs, basically he doesn't care much.Anyway, there are still a bunch of professional people below to take care of these things, so why would he join in the fun.Yu Wanzhou has always regarded herself as an honorary director, that is, the kind with a name.

So he has never been concerned about dealing with the affairs of the Department of Mathematics, and it seems that Jaffe is not too concerned, either going to meetings or going to the Cray Mathematics Institute every day.Anyway, he was similar to his hands-off shopkeeper, and he didn't care much about the affairs of the Department of Mathematics at Princeton University.

Members of the Princeton University Board of Trustees had nothing to do about it.

Both of these two are god-level figures, it is really impossible to force them to manage the school.Both of them have projects and are very busy. It is a miracle that they can show up at school many days a month.

It's like Yu Wanzhou, who goes to the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study every day, basically coming to the school for one or two days a week. This guy doesn't take vacations on weekends, and he also goes to the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study.

Just like a robot, it is full of vitality every day, which makes people feel emotional.

Yang Zhengqi held Yu Wanzhou's office key, and would go to Yu Wanzhou's office every day to do his own research after class.Instead, I reported to the group with Jaffe's assistant next door to keep warm.Many times, Jaffe would not bring his assistant with him when he went to meetings. Yu Wanzhou and Jaffe's offices were close to each other, and the two got acquainted quickly.

It happened that Yu Wanzhou was in the office today, and Jaffe's assistant was Jaffe's doctoral student, and Jaffe had already gone on a business trip.So there was one more person in the office—Jaffe's assistant.

Here Yu Wanzhou was talking to Yang Zhengqi, and Jaffe's assistant, Jimmy Barnard, couldn't understand Chinese.He could only look at the two of them with a confused face, Yang Zhengqi thought for a while, "It will be the end of this year at the latest."

"Yu Shen, the subject you gave me will be finished soon, and I will be able to apply for graduation after I finish it."

"Very good." Yu Wanzhou nodded, "When the time comes, write me a paper application and I'll handle it for you." As the dean of the Department of Mathematics, he himself is responsible for approving these matters.But many things are just being reviewed by the staff. Yu Wanzhou nodded and said, "Next semester, when you finish the project, you can hand over the application to me."

When talking about this, Yu Wanzhou paused, "By the way, the holiday is coming soon."

Yu Wanzhou smiled and said, "Is Zhengqi planning to return to China?"

"Um, I have this plan." He had been at Princeton University for almost a year and hadn't returned home yet.Now that he is about to graduate, he will go home and rest for a while. After graduation, he will be working on a research subject under Yu Shen.

"Your talent in mathematics, I don't want to repeat it." Yu Wanzhou thought for a while and said, "If, I mean, if, you want to be my student, then you must study my subject."

"The Langlands Program, maybe you can study it carefully during the time you return to China." Yu Wanzhou said, "I don't like students who don't know anything. Zhengqi, you understand."

"I know, God Yu." Yang Zhengqi nodded, but Yu Wanzhou stopped talking.

Barnard went about his business and said nothing.

The atmosphere in the whole office suddenly became quiet, and Yu Wanzhou was working on her own project.Barnard is working on the project assigned by Jaffe, and Yang Zhengqi is also working on the project assigned by Yu Wanzhou.

When Lin Wei walked into the office, he saw two people lying on the table doing their own things.And jokingly said, "Yo, there are two people in the office?"

Yang Zhengqi raised his head, looked at Lin Wei and said, "Hello, Associate Professor Lin."

Barnard also nodded to Lin Wei and said, "Dr. Lin, hello."

"Barnard." Lin Wei patted Barnard on the shoulder. When he was studying in Professor Jaffe, Barnard was also in Professor Jaffe's office, but at that time, Barnard was still an undergraduate. Unexpectedly, Barnard was already a doctoral student.

"Zhengqi is here too." Lin Wei smiled, turned his head and said, "Go ahead, I have something to do with Director Yu."

After Yang Zhengqi and Barnard continued to do their own things, Lin Wei sat on the chair facing Yu Wanzhou and said, "I still want to discuss with you about the issue of group theory."

Yu Wanzhou nodded, stretched out her hand and said to Lin Wei, "Congratulations, senior brother."

"Ah?" Lin Wei was taken aback for a moment, what the hell is this sudden congratulations?

"What's the matter?" Lin Wei thought for a long time, but couldn't think of anything to congratulate him on.He has not published any papers recently, nor has he won any awards.What's there to congratulate, this guy, what the hell is going on?

"Dr. Lin." Yu Wanzhou said with a smile, "Congratulations on becoming a professor in the Department of Mathematics at Princeton University. Isn't this something worthy of congratulations?"

Yu Wanzhou paused, "To be precise, he is a professor of mathematical physics."

"Really?" Lin Wei gasped and looked at Yu Wanzhou, "Don't lie to me."
