From top stream to scholar

Logically speaking, because Professor Jaffe recently had a particularly difficult subject, Barnard was also a member of the subject group.Thinking about it, he should be studying in the office now, instead of coming to his office to visit.

Yu Wanzhou looked at Dr. Barnard up and down, and said with a smile, "Could it be that Dr. Barnard is about to graduate, come and tell Yang?"

"Not yet." Barnard said shyly, "It's just a party, and I want to invite Yang to attend."

"Oh?" Yu Wanzhou nodded, "But Dr. Barnard, you know, Yang usually doesn't go to parties."

Yang Zhengqi said that whether it was Yu Wanzhou, Yang Zhengqi or Qi Yuan, they knew that they did not come to Princeton University to play, but to study and research.

Many students at Princeton University are actually no different from students at domestic universities.It's pretty crazy to play, but Yang Zhengqi basically won't participate in such activities.As for Qi Yuan, he studied with Professor Lin Wei every day, and it was even more impossible for him to participate in such weird and crazy parties.In the case of Yu Wanzhou, this guy is a well-known monster at Princeton University, who would not want to run to find Yu Wanzhou to hold a party, that is simply the rhythm of turning the whole party into an academic report meeting.

Thinking about that scene, it's simply unbearable to look directly at.

On the contrary, when Yu Wanzhou first arrived at Princeton University, these professors organized several parties, but the purpose of the parties was to discuss academic issues.Naturally, it is different from the parties held by the students. Yu Wanzhou actually dislikes the parties held by the students of Princeton University. It is really crazy.He is still a pure child, these people don't come to defile him!

"Although I know." Barnard paused, "But I still want to invite you politely."

"However, my God, I actually found out that this guy didn't even say anything to me after graduation."

"Maybe it's because you're too busy these days, so he didn't tell you?" Yu Wanzhou said with a smile, "Dr. Barnard, I guess you should go back and do what Professor Jaffe explained, otherwise, maybe you will There's some trouble."

"Thank you for your reminder." Barnard glanced at the professor and said with a smile, "Professor, I think your room is a bit empty."

"Really?" Yu Wanzhou said with a smile, "Dr. Barnard didn't come to water it recently, and the flowers and plants on the balcony are almost dying."

"Oh, I still want to wait for Yang to go back to Princeton and let him water it."

"Perhaps, we can't wait for that time."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and Barnard said, "Professor Yu, I will take my leave first."

"Please." Yu Wanzhou nodded, lowered her head again and started her own calculations. At this moment, there must be no one coming.Yu Wanzhou thought firmly, until the evening.After dinner, he strolled on the road of Princeton University.Meeting Professor Wei Teng, Yu Wanzhou said with a light smile, "Professor Wei Teng, long time no see."

"Long time no see, Yu!" Professor Wei Teng held his wife's hand, and the two were strolling, enjoying the rare time.

Yu Wanzhou nodded to Professor Witten's wife, "Ma'am, long time no see."

"Long time no see, Yu."

Yu Wanzhou and Professor Wei Teng talked about academic issues for a while, until finally, Professor Wei Teng said, "That's right, Yu."

"Oh?" Yu Wanzhou turned her head to look at Professor Wei Teng, and said doubtfully, "Professor, do you have anything else to do?"

"Have you heard of Mochizuki Shinichi?"

"Mochizuki Shinichi?" Yu Wanzhou froze for a moment, "The one who announced in August that he solved the ABC conjecture?"

"If I remember correctly, he is a student of Mr. Faltings, right?"

"Yes."

"Professor, why did you suddenly mention him to me?" Yu Wanzhou was stunned for a moment, "Mr. Mochizuki Shinichi is indeed a very powerful mathematician, and his ABC conjecture proves that I haven't finished reading it yet." .”

"That's right." Professor Witten said with a smile, "A few days ago, Mochizuki Shinichi wrote an email to Faltings. You know, Mochizuki Shinichi is indeed a bit weird, and he usually doesn't use academics very much. Mechanisms publish their own papers, and they also like to be alone."

"I seem to have heard some rumors about Mr. Mochizuki Shinichi. He is a very talented mathematician who is used to being alone. After staying in the United States for a few years, he returned to his hometown of Neon. Now It should be a professor at the Department of Mathematics, Kyoto University, right?"

"I don't know what Mr. Mochizuki Shinichi wrote to Mr. Faltings?"

"It's very simple, he wants to invite you to Kyoto University."

"Me?" Yu Wanzhou froze for a moment.

"You know, Mochizuki Shinichi has hardly had any contact with anyone since he returned to Neon. He didn't know your email address, so he sent an email to his mentor Faltins. He heard You are more familiar with Faltings."

Yu Wanzhou shook her head with a smile, "Then why does Mr. Shinichi Mochizuki ask me to go to Kyoto University?"

"It should be because of the ABC conjecture." Professor Witten raised his voice. "Now we are not sure whether he really solved the ABC conjecture."

"Yu, what do you think?"

"I don't know too well, you know, I've been busy with my own projects recently, and rarely watch arXiv." Yu Wanzhou said with a smile, "I think I've almost been in the same room as Mr. Mochizuki Shinichi." under the mode of life."

Professor Wei Teng said, "Yu, no matter what, you'd better study Shinichi Mochizuki's thesis. Of course, this is just my suggestion to you. After all, this is one of the most profound problems in mathematics."

"His proof is really too obscure, making it difficult for people to understand."

Yu Wanzhou nodded. He didn't fully study this paper, but only read a little bit, which is indeed a bit obscure.In fact, Yu Wanzhou prefers that Shinichi Mochizuki did not solve the ABC conjecture, but he has not read the entire paper and is not in a hurry to draw conclusions.

After thinking for a while, he said, "When will he invite me to Kyoto University?"

"About March or April?"

"Okay, I'll ask Faltings for the email address of Mr. Mochizuki Shinichi, and then send him an email." Yu Wanzhou nodded, and after leaving Princeton University, she returned to her rental house.Turn on the computer, log on to the Internet and write an email to Faltings, probably asking for the email address of Mochizuki Shinichi.

After finishing writing, Yu Wanzhou didn't do her own project, but opened arXiv to check the keywords.Looking at Shinichi Mochizuki's ABC conjecture verification, to be honest, it is too obscure, and now there are many debates in the academic circles.

Some say he hasn't untied it, some say he has untied it.

Yu Wanzhou looked at the paper and did not participate in this discussion.For Yu Wanzhou, this kind of discussion is completely meaningless. He needs to read the paper first.It's good to change your mind once in a while, isn't it?

Unexpectedly, Mr. Faltings replied to Yu Wanzhou very quickly.

Mochizuki Shinichi's email address was sent soon. After Yu Wanzhou opened the email, he sent an email to Mochizuki Shinichi.First, I thanked him for inviting me to Kyoto University, and then said that I should arrive at Kyoto University in March next year.I'm reading his thesis now, maybe when the time comes, he might pick out some thorns for Mochizuki Shinichi.Hope he doesn't mind.

Yu Wanzhou's email was still very sincere. After sending it, he continued to watch Wang Yuexinyi's paper.

The front is okay, although it is obscure, but for Yu Wanzhou, it is not difficult to understand.

After watching for a while, the phone rang.

Yu Wanzhou glanced at it, it was Jiang Yi who called him.He pressed the answer button and said, "Brother Yi, what's the matter?"

"Xiao Zhou, what are you doing?"

"Me?" Yu Wanzhou said with a smile, "What can I do."

"I'm reading the paper." Yu Wanzhou paused, then continued, "The paper on the ABC conjecture."

"Aren't you working on your own project? How did you read the paper?" Jiang Yi didn't know what the ABC conjecture was, but he knew that most of Yu Wanzhou's projects had nothing to do with this conjecture, so he asked Yu Wanzhou suspiciously. take a boat.

"Well, ABC's conjecture has caused a lot of disputes in the academic circle recently." Yu Wanzhou paused, "The author of this paper invited me to Kyoto University for an exchange."

"I'm planning to go to Kyoto University in March next year after taking a look."

"Kyoto University?" Dazed for a moment, Jiang Yi returned to China, "Is it the school over there?"

"That's right." Yu Wanzhou smiled, "This great immortal doesn't have any contact information. He sent the email inviting me to his doctoral supervisor's email. Mr. Faltings has been too busy recently and forgot to tell me this. This matter was told to me by my supervisor, Professor Wei Teng today."

"Inviting you to Kyoto University, there is no conspiracy, right?"

"Can there be any conspiracy?" Yu Wanzhou smiled, "This guy is used to being a loner, and he probably wants to discuss with me about the ABC conjecture and number theory."

"Let's not talk about it, I read the paper and went to bed. His paper, a large part of the people can't understand it." Yu Wanzhou said with a smile, "You work hard, I will probably be in January. time to return home.”

"Okay." Jiang Yi seemed very happy on the other end of the phone, "You must tell me after you return to China."

"En." Yu Wanzhou hung up the phone and continued to look at the paper again.

…………

Mochizuki Shinichi, who received Yu Wanzhou's email early the next morning, raised his eyebrows slightly.To be honest, there are many so-called mathematicians in this world, but there are really not many who can make him fancy.

An out-and-out mathematical genius like Yu Wanzhou, Mochizuki Shinichi didn't pay much attention to his promotion of Crocker's theorem from the beginning.It wasn't until Yu Wanzhou solved the BSD conjecture that he began to really face up to this mathematical genius.I have to admit that Yu Wanzhou is indeed a very powerful genius in mathematics.

Although there is a huge age gap between Yu Wanzhou and him, he feels that Yu Wanzhou is the only one besides his mentor Gerd Faltings who can stand shoulder to shoulder with him in mathematics.

He really wanted to know what Yu Wanzhou thought of his thesis.
