National Top Stream
Chapter 59
"Is this about to start?" Zhuang Weiran muttered, "Are you going to give out the rewards soon?"
"I think it should be." Faltins nodded, "I don't know how to award awards this year."
"Is the order in which the rewards are issued different?"
"It all depends on the mood of the organizer." Deligne next to him said, "However, as the most important mathematics award, the Fields Medal should be the top priority of the entire awards ceremony."
"So, we can guess whether Zhuang won the Fields Medal?" Witten raised his eyebrows and said, "I think there may be no Zhuang this year."
"Huh?" Zhuang Weiran turned to look at Wei Teng, "Mr. Wei Teng doesn't trust me?"
"Maybe." Wei Teng said with a smile, "Who knows, this is just a hunch."
"Since we want to play, there must be a bet, right?" Faltings seemed indifferent, "What does Wei Teng want to use as a bet?"
"What do you want?" Witten looked at Faltings, "Perhaps, Mr. Faltings doesn't want my things."
"Well," said Faltings, "how about an apology in the newspaper if someone guesses wrong?"
"This..." Zhuang Weiran was stunned for a moment, "Isn't it good?" Although everyone is a mathematician and says that money must be too tacky, it's not necessary to play with it.
"Professor Deligne, what do you think?"
"I have no objection." Deligne shrugged his shoulders. "If you really want to play like this, I think it might be more interesting to call more people, isn't it?"
"Everyone!" Faltins put down his wine glass, and the people around him were almost all professors from Princeton University and the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study.Faltings raised his voice, "I bet with Professor Witten, do you want to participate?"
This is indeed a very interesting thing. Everyone looked at Faltings and Witten curiously.
"What's the stake?"
"Apologize in the newspaper, or can it be an academic journal of Princeton University?" Faltings raised his brows, with an expression that he didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement.
"Interesting." The professor next to him said with a smile, "Then what are you betting on?"
"Zhuang, can you win the Fields Medal this year?"
Zhuang Weiran's whole body was not well, and he stood there dumbfounded.
"It's fun!" Feifman said with a smile, "Then I'll bet that the bank will win the Fields Medal."
"Professor Feffman, you are very familiar with Zhuang, but no one knows who will get the Fields Medal. At this time, you are sure that Zhuang will get it. If he doesn't win, will Professor Feffman be very happy?" Awkward?"
"Embarrassed?" Feifman said with a smile, "Why should I be embarrassed?"
"You can also bet that Zhuang won't win the Fields Medal." Professor Feffman said with a smile, "However, I believe Zhuang can win the Fields Medal."
"It seems that Professor Feffman is very firm in supporting Zhuang." Everyone laughed. Some people supported that Zhuang Weiran will win the Fields Medal this year, while others thought that Zhuang Weiran should win the Fields Medal four years later.
The two sides have different views and are discussing loudly.It attracted many professors who had not yet participated, so more scholars and professors participated in it, booing as if they were betting whether the house would win the Fields Medal.
As the client, Zhuang Weiran's mentality was about to collapse.
I was quite nervous at first, but now I am not only not nervous, but even feel a little funny.
Looking at these mathematicians, they all bet on him.Zhuang Weiran sighed and stood beside him silently.
Then he heard Pierce's voice, "Everyone has already decided whether Professor Zhuang will win the award or not. Regardless of whether Professor Zhuang can win the award this time, I think Princeton University's academic journals should have an apology special."
"It seems to be true." Zhuang Weiran muttered beside him, suddenly someone patted his shoulder, turned around and saw Professor Tao looking at him with a smile, "Xiao Zhuang, what are you doing?"
"No, nothing." Zhuang Weiran hurriedly shook his head.
"I see so many people gathered together, you don't know what they are doing?" Professor Tao looked curiously at this group of bigwigs gathered together, he has seen many bigwigs, and he knows their names , but this group of bigwigs didn't know him.
"No, they're making a bet."
"Sounds very interesting." Professor Tao looked at the group of people, then at Zhuang Weiran, "Xiao Zhuang, they should bet on you, right?"
"Professor, how do you know?"
"Many people are already betting on whether you will win the Fields Medal this year." Professor Tao said with a smile, "I guess they are also joining in the fun."
"I ask you, Xiao Zhuang, what is their bet?"
"Princeton's academic journal apologizes." Zhuang Weiran spread his hand helplessly, "Don't be annalsofatheatics."
"It shouldn't be annalsofatheatics, which is one of the four major journals in mathematics, and it is impossible for Princeton University to do this. But I heard that you are about to be promoted to a professor at Princeton University, okay. You have only graduated with a Ph.D. for half a year. I'm going to be a professor. I'm going to train doctoral students in the future, Xiao Zhuang, how do you feel?" Tao Hanhai looked at Zhuang Weiran with a smile, his eyes were full of admiration for the students.To be honest, this is the student he admires the most, not one of them.
Probably the best student of his life.
"What can I do?" Zhuang Weiran sighed, with a terrible headache.
"What?" Looking at Zhuang Weiran's headache, "I don't know how to guide the students?"
"Professor." Zhuang Weiran rubbed his hands and said, "How did you lead Senior Brother Cheng?"
"Give him a subject, let him do it by himself, and ask me if there is anything he doesn't understand." Tao Hanhai patted Zhuang Weiran on the shoulder, "Maybe he is doing the same subject as you."
"I'm thinking about it." Zhuang Weiran rubbed his hair, as if he was thinking about something.
Cheng Qiu walked to Zhuang Weiran's side and said softly, "Junior Brother Zhuang, are you ready?"
"Ready for what?" Zhuang Weiran gave Cheng Qiu a blank look.
"Filipino Award." Cheng Qiu said excitedly, "Junior Brother, if you win the Philippine Award this year, you will be the first Chinese to win the Philippine Award."
"Old Mr. Qiu has won the Fields Award before." Zhuang Weiran said helplessly, "I am not the first Chinese to win the Fields Award."
"It's not the same. When old Mr. Qiu won the Philippine award, he was from the lighthouse nationality, and you are from the Chinese nationality." Cheng Qiu shook his head, "The meaning is different. If you can win the Philippine award, the mathematics community in the entire Hua country will be very happy. .”
"Maybe." Zhuang Weiran didn't speak, Tao Hanhai next to him patted Cheng Qiu's shoulder, "Stop saying a few words, boy."
"Xiao Zhuang is also feeling quite nervous at this moment."
Cheng Qiu thought, it really is.If he made such a big achievement, he might be able to win the Philippine Award, then before the start of each Philippine Award, his heartbeat must exceed 200.
Zhuang Weiran tightened his lips now, and he knew that he was very nervous just by looking at it.
"Ladies and gentlemen." The host said in fluent English with a microphone, "Welcome to the International Congress of Mathematicians."
"Please allow me to be very honored to tell you that the award ceremony will be held soon."
Cheng Qiu next to Zhuang Weiran said in Zhuang Weiran's ear, "The awards will start soon, Xiaozhuang, what do you think?"
"I'm just here to watch." Zhuang Weiran stared at the stage while holding the fruit juice. The International Congress of Mathematicians has four major awards - the Fields Award, the Gauss Award, the Chern Award, and the Nevanliner Award.
Among them, the Fields Medal is the most important and the most important award in the field of mathematics, also known as the Nobel Prize in the field of mathematics.Only the most outstanding mathematicians under the age of 40 can receive this honor.
The Gauss Prize rewards mathematicians who have made achievements in applied mathematics.
The Nevanlinna Prize is awarded for major contributors to the mathematical aspects of computer science.
The Chern Award is the highest lifetime achievement award in the international mathematics community.
"What do you think the first award will be?"
Zhuang Weiran thought for a while and shook his head, he really didn't know what the first award would be.
Even those bigwigs who have participated in several sessions don't know what the first award will be, how could he know.He could only wait silently, his heart beating faster.
"The first award is the Newangliner Award." After the host finished speaking, Cheng Qiu beside him sighed and said, "I thought the first one would be the Fields Award."
"As the highlight of the International Congress of Mathematicians, I don't think it will be the first to be awarded." Professor Tao has also participated in the International Congress of Mathematicians before, so he is not surprised at all. People who have made contributions to the mathematics of science, but almost all of them are computer scientists, so this award is the first to be awarded, and it can be said in the past.”
Anyway, seeing that Linna Award was not for him, Zhuang Weiran took a sip of juice.
"It is subhashkhot who won the Newanglinna award."
Not surprisingly, he is not a Chinese.The applause of the audience resounded like thunder, and Zhuang Weiran also applauded.
After subhashkhot received the award, Cheng Qiu also began to get nervous. The next thing is the time for the award of the mathematics award. It is not certain which award will be awarded first.
He put his hands on the table tremblingly and took a deep breath.
Looking at Cheng Qiu's appearance, Zhuang Weiran couldn't help but feel a little funny, he hasn't reached this point yet, why is the senior brother like this now?
"Brother." Zhuang Weiran looked at Cheng Qiu and said with a smile, "Isn't it? I'm not so nervous yet, why are you more nervous than me?"
"Can you not be nervous?" Cheng Qiu took a deep breath, "It may be the Fields Award soon."
"I guess the Fields Medal will be at the end." Professor Tao said softly while sitting beside Zhuang Weiran and Cheng Qiu, "It is impossible to award the Fields Medal so soon."
"Xiao Zhuang, let me ask you something."
"Professor, tell me." Zhuang Weiran lowered his head and looked at Professor Tao.
"Do you think winning the Fields Medal is the end of a mathematician?"
"No." Zhuang Weiran shook his head, "I think winning the Fields Medal is just the starting point for a mathematician."
"What?" Cheng Qiu stared dumbfounded at the chat between the two. "The Fields Medal is just the starting point for mathematicians. Don't, stop joking, right? How is it possible?"
"For you, it may be the end, but for Xiao Zhuang, I think this is just his starting point." Professor Tao said in a deep voice, "I think Xiao Zhuang should be able to reach the highest peak of mathematics."
"At least I hope so." Professor Tao looked at Cheng Qiu, "Yes, I just hope that you can do more mathematics research, and I really don't have much request for you."
How could this be so!The distinction between professors is too obvious.
"Next up is the Gauss Award."
Tao Hanhai frowned, and smiled at the two students, as if to say, 'You see, I'm right. ’ Finally he added, “The next one should be the Chern Award.”
"The recipient of the award is stanleyosher, for his outstanding work in the field of applied mathematics and multiple engineering interdisciplinary fields." When the host announced, Zhuang Weiran still started to applaud.
This is his first time participating in the International Congress of Mathematicians. He doesn't understand anything, so he just needs to applaud.
Although this is a grand party form, in fact, it is not just a party.There are still quite a few media outside waiting to interview these award-winning contestants, Zhuang Weiran can't be too out of gregarious.More than 1000 or even thousands of people participated in the entire conference of mathematicians, and there were so many participants.Who can tell clearly how people will talk about Zhuang Weiran if he is not very gregarious.
So he kept applauding, anyway, no matter whether he knew it or not, as long as he applauded it was right.
What's more, receiving these awards should indeed be applauded. After all, these awards are enough to prove that they are good enough in the field of mathematics or computer science and have made outstanding contributions.
There were many mathematicians that Zhuang Weiran didn't know sitting next to him. I heard that the participants were not only mathematicians, but also theoretical physicists, computer scientists and so on.Many times, they are inseparable from mathematicians.Otherwise, calculate the guaranteed break by yourself.
Next, Zhuang Weiran wanted to hear more seriously what the next award would be.
Professor Tao Hanhai's expression also became serious, and now there are only two awards left: the Chern Award and the Fields Award.The more it came to this time, the more everyone waited with bated breath.
Every four years, the most outstanding mathematicians will be born, and everyone wants to know who are the most outstanding young mathematicians in the past four years in the eyes of the International Mathematical Union.
Mathematicians like Wiles are still in the minority, and many mathematicians became famous at a young age. Before the age of 40, being able to make outstanding mathematical achievements shows that he can be among the world's top mathematicians.As for not making outstanding mathematical achievements before the age of 40, it does not mean that you cannot become a first-class mathematician.But in the end, it still proves that in terms of talent, mathematicians who won the Fields Medal are not as great.
Of course, even if he does not win the Fields Medal, it does not prevent him from becoming the top mathematician.
Only mathematicians who have won the Fields Medal are enough to become masters of mathematics in the 21st century, while mathematicians who have not won the Fields Medal need to spend more effort to keep pace with mathematicians who have won the Fields Medal, and even to surpass them.
"The next thing to be awarded is the Fields Medal. I think this is the award you want to see the most." The host paused, "The International Congress of Mathematicians, held every four years, has received the most attention over the years. It's the Fields Medal."
"Next, there will be the Fields Medal Award Ceremony, known as the Nobel Prize in mathematics."
"I invite Mr. Chairman of the International Congress of Mathematicians to present the award."
Zhuang Weiran started to applaud, and Cheng Qiu beside him was too excited to speak, "Junior Brother, if...you will get rewards later, do you have anything to say?"
"Well, the Philippine Award is okay?" Zhuang Weiran frowned.
"It's too pretending, it's really too good at pretending." Cheng Qiu kept shaking his head, and even Tao Hanhai beside him couldn't help saying, "Since when did you get so good at pretending?"
Before the chairman of the conference stepped onto the stage, he took a deep breath and began to read, "The first mathematician to win the Fields Medal is—"
Everyone held their breath and looked in the direction of the rostrum without blinking.
The chairman of the conference, who was stared at by countless eyes, said easily, "I think everyone is waiting for me to read the list. This year's Fields Medal winners, I dare say, are unique among the Filipino Medal winners over the years. once."
What's the meaning?Everyone didn't understand, and the chairman of the meeting suddenly said something inexplicable.
"Although we have selected mathematicians who have made outstanding contributions in the past four years, I still hope that those mathematicians who have not won the Fields Medal can continue to work hard. When choosing the Fields Medal, many people, with Phil It is very close to the Fields Medal. It is a pity that we have to select the most outstanding mathematicians. I am very sorry that some people did not appear in the list of the Fields Awards. But I believe that if they do not appear in the list Those of you who are among them, if you continue to work hard, then after four years, this Philippine Award will definitely be yours."
This is said, as if it is specifically for someone to listen to.
Could it be Zhuang Weiran?Some people suddenly think that Zhuang Weiran's Yang-Misser gap in existence and quality is enough to win the Fields Award.It is not too much to say that it is the most outstanding, but most of the mathematicians who participated in the election did not wait for four years.Zhuang Weiran can still wait for many years.
Could it be that the chairman of the conference was speaking to Zhuang Weiran.Let him not be disappointed because he did not win the Fields Medal this time, and continue to study, and after four years, he will definitely be given the Fields Medal.This seems like a pie-painting act, but it is true.Zhuang Weiran is the most recommended mathematician who will not win the Fields Medal this year but will win the Fields Medal four years later.
Even Faltings frowned and muttered, "Am I wrong? It shouldn't be!"
"No way?"
"how is this possible?"
At the party, there were some whispered discussions, as if they were very puzzled about this matter.
The chairman of the conference remained calm, "Next, I will start announcing the list."
"The first winner of the Fields Medal is—" He looked at the mathematicians in the audience, "Who do you think it will be?"
What are you doing?Everyone is almost speechless, this...
Some people began to shake their heads and smile wryly, and many people's hearts were almost beating to the limit.Especially the young mathematicians, all of them looked tense and serious. Now that the chairman of the conference is making such an outburst, it must make them collapse!
"Well, I think everyone can't seem to be humorous now." The chairman of the conference continued, "From Huaguo, Zhuang Weiran!"
"For his remarkable breakthroughs in the analysis and geometry of limit partial differential equations, especially the Yang-Mills equations, and for his subversive mathematical treatment of gauge field theory."
"???" Everyone was stunned. Just now they thought that the chairman of the conference was comforting Zhuang Weiran, but they didn't expect that the first person to win the Fields Medal was Zhuang Weiran.
Just now Zhuang Weiran thought that he was definitely out of action this year, but he didn't know that his mind was blank now.
Even Cheng Qiu pushed him several times, but he didn't recover.
"Welcome Mr. Zhuang Weiran to come to the stage to receive the Fields Award." The chairman of the conference said with a smile, "This is what Mr. Zhuang Weiran should receive."
There was more enthusiastic applause at the scene than before, almost pushing the atmosphere of the entire venue to its climax.Someone was calling softly, "Zhuang, Zhuang!"
"Xiao Zhuang, hurry up to receive the award." Professor Tao Hanhai was also in a hurry, Zhuang Weiran seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit!He probably didn't expect that happiness came so suddenly.
Countless people's eyes were fixed on Zhuang Weiran who had just stood up, and he walked towards the front stage foolishly, almost falling over.
The whole person presents an unbelievable state, feeling aloof.
When walking onto the stage, the chairman of the conference said to Zhuang Weiran, "Zhuang, did what I just said scare you?"
"Indeed." Zhuang Weiran had to admit that the words of the chairman of the conference just now seemed to be addressed to him, and he always felt that something was wrong.
It turned out that it wasn't what he said!
"This is what you deserve." The chairman of the conference whispered in Zhuang Weiran's ear, "I originally wanted to take it easy, after all, you are too young. But your achievements are as dazzling as your age, and no one will It is expected what you will grow into after four years. We finally decided to give you this award now."
"You deserve this award." The chairman of the conference paused, "Zhuang, I hope you can make more outstanding and subversive contributions to mathematics in the future."
"This is what our conference staff expect from you."
"Thank you." Zhuang Weiran still didn't quite recover, his mind went blank, and he didn't know what to say, "In short, thank you very much."
"No, this is the result you made, enjoy your honor, young man." The chairman of the meeting said with a smile, "Don't you want to say something?"
"I..." Zhuang Weiran looked at the countless pairs of eyes in the audience, and took a deep breath, "I am very grateful to Professor Ji who helped me in mathematics. He is my first teacher and also my teacher. The teacher I followed when I was studying for a bachelor’s degree. He gave me a lot of things, and I followed him to learn number theory, algebra, and geometry. From then on, I became more interested in mathematics than before. In other words, I There is a sense of faith in mathematics that wants to pursue the truth."
"Before, I just thought mathematics was a very interesting subject. But under Professor Ji's teaching, I really know that mathematics is an amazing subject. He is the foundation of all science subjects. No matter what you want to learn well, you must learn it well Mathematics." Zhuang Weiran's brain has been disconnected now, he can only think of what to say.
"I started to take this subject seriously, and I no longer just thought it was fun like before. Of course, I often go to Professor Ji's house for meals, and the meals at Professor Ji's house are very delicious."
"Hahaha..." Zhuang Weiran spoke in fluent English, and almost everyone started to smile.
"About mathematics, I think everyone knows it very clearly. Besides, it is not an academic report meeting, and I also need to spend too much time talking about how hard it is to do mathematics. In my opinion, doing a mathematics project , not hard work at all. It's fun, and worth a lot of my time trying to verify."
"I am here, and I also want to thank my doctoral supervisor, the second teacher, Professor Tao Hanhai." Zhuang Weiran also named Professor Tao Hanhai, "When I first arrived at Capital University, Professor Tao Hanhai asked me what I needed to do. What subject."
"I told the professor that I wanted to do gauge field theory." Zhuang Weiran said with a smile, "The professor asked me if I needed help, and I told him that I can do it alone."
"Actually, I have already started working on Yang-Mills Existence and Quality Gap. At that time, Professor Tao would often ask me about my progress, but before I explained the situation, he didn't let me do the project with him. He always said, He believed very much in my ability to do a good job in the subject I chose, but he gave me two years."
"Later, everyone knew." Zhuang Weiran spread his hands, "It is worth mentioning that the food at Professor Tao Hanhai's house is also very delicious."
"Zhuang, do you like going to other people's houses for dinner?" Faltins was taken aback for a moment, this hobby is quite unique.
"In my opinion, it may not be that Zhuang likes to eat at other people's homes." Professor Deligne next to him said with a smile, "I have seen Mr. Feffman eat at Zhuang's many times."
"Oh?" Faltins looked at Professor Feffman.
"No, I just think Zhuang's Huaguo cuisine is very delicious." Professor Fei Fuman spread his hands and said, "It's much more delicious than takeaway."
"Zhuang can cook?"
"That's right, I didn't think of it, and I didn't think of it either." Professor Feffman said with a smile, "Don't say it, Zhuang's cooking is really delicious."
"It seems that Professor Feffman often goes to Zhuang's place for dinner."
"By the way, let's discuss about mathematics." Professor Feffman added.
Everyone started to laugh, and Zhuang Weiran's speech was coming to an end, "In short, I am very grateful to the two professors for teaching me, and I am very grateful to the professors of Princeton University, who have inspired me a lot in mathematics. I believe that I will be able to do more research in mathematics in the future. I cannot guarantee how important my research is. But I do think mathematics is very interesting and it is my lifelong partner. I can’t imagine, How should I live without math subjects?"
The applause of "Papa Papa" sounded like thunder, and Zhuang Weiran breathed a sigh of relief.He really didn't know what to say, he never thought that he would win the Fields Medal.
Not to mention preparing any speech, after speaking for about a few minutes, his mind is still blank.Next, the winners of the Philippine Awards came to the stage one by one. Zhuang Weiran shook hands with others stiffly, congratulating them on winning the Fields Awards.
Until he stepped down, he was completely blinded and hadn't recovered yet.
Tao Hanhai looked at Zhuang Weiran's appearance, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Zhuang, what's wrong?"
"No, nothing." Zhuang Weiran shook his head, "I just didn't expect that this year's Philippine Award would really be awarded to me."
"Actually, I think they want to delay for another four years. Of course, it is not impossible. You are now, four years later, you are only 22 years old. Even at that time, you will be the youngest winner of the Philippine Award. Who I can’t say anything about the organizing committee. Probably because your outstanding contributions in limit partial differential equations and geometry can no longer be ignored by them, and your mathematical treatment in gauge field theory is too perfect. And subversive, there's no way they wouldn't award it to you."
Zhuang Weiran was silent, and Cheng Qiu next to him said excitedly, "Junior brother, can I touch your medal?"
"No." Zhuang Weiran handed the Fields Award medal to Cheng Qiu, dumbfounded, "I still think that the Fields Award is just the starting point."
"For most of the Tao," for example, Professor Edward Witten, who studies mathematics and physics.For example, Professor Feffman, he is a mathematician and a fluid dynamics scientist. "
Zhuang Weiran nodded, and Tao Hanhai next to him said, "Xiao Zhuang, you are indeed very talented in quantum mechanics, but you still need to work hard on other physics theories."
"Zhuang, Princeton University is very good in mathematics and theoretical physics. I hope you can gain more knowledge during these few years at Princeton University. In the future, it will be the best to return to China."
"Professor, is this what you mean?"
Tao Hanhai looked at Zhuang Weiran, "It's not only what I mean, but also what the higher authorities mean."
"Above?" Zhuang Weiran didn't quite understand.
"That's right, above." Tao Hanhai winked at Zhuang Weiran, "Who sent you abroad as a visiting scholar?"
"I see." Zhuang Weiran nodded, "I will study hard."
Professor Tao Hanhai smiled, "However, the University of Science and Technology of China probably won't be able to wait so long."
"Ah?" Zhuang Weiran looked at Professor Tao Hanhai foolishly.
"They have a project recently, which is not easy to do. They are jointly working with our Institute of Aerodynamics, but the progress is very slow." Professor Tao sighed, "I am engaged in theoretical physics, so I did not participate in it."
"However, I know that their progress is not going well. Many people from the Mathematics Research Center are also involved and complain every day."
Zhuang Weiran didn't speak, Tao Hanhai continued, "My personal opinion is that I hope you can return to China. Of course, if you really don't want to return to China, no one can invite you. The research environment of Princeton University is indeed very good. But the country is also starting to improve. Besides, if you are such a great master, who dares to give you pointers if you go there?"
"Look at Mr. Yang, does anyone dare to tell him what to do?" Tao Hanhai continued, "You are the winner of the Philippine Prize, so you are the Nobel Prize winner in mathematics. Can the country not value you?"
"If a genius like you can return to China, it will not only bring about huge changes in scientific research to the country, but may even form a siphon effect, just like Mr. Yang returned to China before." Tao Hanhai said to Zhuang Weiran, " I agree that you go abroad and learn more things abroad, which will be very helpful for your future academic studies. But I personally don’t agree with you staying abroad and not coming back.”
"Professor, I will seriously consider it."
"Okay." Tao Hanhai said with a smile, "You don't want to play this game for me anymore. You have not lost to any master in the world in terms of limit partial differential equations and differential geometry. Don't call me a professor every day. .”
"You have already surpassed me in mathematics." Tao Hanhai patted Zhuang Weiran on the shoulder, "At least, I can't solve the Millennium Prize problem now."
Zhuang Weiran smiled and didn't speak. To be honest, he didn't know what to say.
"What's the next topic?"
"Hilbert space." Zhuang Weiran paused, "I want to make some breakthroughs in the field of functional analysis."
"You kid." Tao Hanhai shook his head and said, "I don't understand what you're thinking, but if you want to create a Hilbert space, it's pretty good."
"Thank you, Professor." Zhuang Weiran scratched his head and said, "I thought you would object, Professor."
"Against what?" Tao Hanhai was a little amused, "As long as you don't go to study chemistry or biomedicine, I definitely won't object. You have a specialization in art, and your kid can do well in mathematics and physics." Go a long way, don't be complacent, think that you are already very good. Then go to learn other subjects."
"Don't worry, I won't." Zhuang Weiran reassured Professor Tao Hanhai, saying that he would definitely not study other subjects.
Professor Tao Hanhai nodded, after the next Chern Mathematics Award was awarded.
The chairman of the conference raised his glass and said, "Let's celebrate the winners of the four major awards!"
"Congratulations to them for getting the honor they deserve. This moment is the time to enjoy their honor."
After drinking the juice, Zhuang Weiran found some snacks to fill his stomach.Many people ran to Zhuang Weiran, "Zhuang, congratulations on winning the Fields Medal."
"Thank you!" Zhuang Weiran responded one by one, and it took about half an hour before he felt a little more relaxed.
Putting down the glass of juice, he felt that he didn't need to eat anything anymore, he already had a feeling of fullness.
"Zhuang." The chairman of the conference walked to Zhuang Weiran's side.
"Sir." Zhuang Weiran turned around and said to the chairman of the meeting, "What's the matter?"
"How will the academic report the day after tomorrow be prepared?"
"I think I can surprise everyone."
"Really?" The chairman of the conference was a little drunk, "I want to discuss something with you."
"You say."
"You know, in addition to the main venue of the International Congress of Mathematicians, there are also dozens of satellite conferences, which are distributed in Huaguo, Neon and other Asian countries."
"I would like to invite you to participate in some of the satellite meetings of Huaguo and Neonguo."
"Of course." Zhuang Weiran nodded and said, "I should be free in June. If I attend the satellite meeting of the International Congress of Mathematicians in Huaguo and Nihong, I can."
"Then the first stop is Longcheng University in Huaguo, after your academic report will be over the day after tomorrow."
"Oh?" Zhuang Weiran raised his brows, "I am very familiar with that place."
"En?" The chairman of the conference was stunned for a moment, "Zhuang, do you know Dragon City?"
"I am from Longcheng, Mr. Chairman."
"So that's how it is." The chairman of the conference said with a smile, "We arranged for Dragon City, Luyang, Capital City. And the neon city of Kyoto and Tokyo."
"Ok."
"Someone will contact you at that time." After the chairman of the meeting finished speaking, he left. Zhuang Weiran put down his glass, wondering if he should leave now.It seems that there is nothing else to do. With this time, he might as well go back to the hotel to study it first.As he said that, Zhuang Weiran wanted to run away early.
Cheng Qiu caught Zhuang Weiran with quick eyes and hands, "Where are you going?"
"Shall I go back to the hotel?"
"The outside is full of media reporters. If you go out, you will definitely be the first Filipino award winner to be questioned." Cheng Qiu winked at Zhuang Weiran, "I think it's better for you not to go out now."
Just at this time, Ji Anyi came trotting all the way. Coincidentally, Wiles brought Pierce to Zhuang Weiran, "Zhuang, congratulations on winning the Fields Award. You are the youngest winner of the Fields Award. Just for this, you It's worth a drink, isn't it?"
"Thank you." Zhuang Weiran raised the juice glass and had a drink with Wiles.
Afterwards, Ji Anyi whispered in Zhuang Weiran's ear, "Boss Zhuang, the professor wants to tell you something."
"Okay." Zhuang Weiran said to Professor Wiles apologetically, "Sorry, Professor Wiles, I still have something to do."
"It's okay, Zhuang, you are the protagonist tonight." Professor Wiles shrugged, "Every time the winner of the Philippine Award will be the protagonist."
Zhuang Weiran followed behind Ji Anyi, and came to the corner in a short while.
This corner is relatively remote, and no one is there.
Zhuang Weiran saw another person he didn't know besides Professor Ji.
Stepping up, he said to Ji
"I think it should be." Faltins nodded, "I don't know how to award awards this year."
"Is the order in which the rewards are issued different?"
"It all depends on the mood of the organizer." Deligne next to him said, "However, as the most important mathematics award, the Fields Medal should be the top priority of the entire awards ceremony."
"So, we can guess whether Zhuang won the Fields Medal?" Witten raised his eyebrows and said, "I think there may be no Zhuang this year."
"Huh?" Zhuang Weiran turned to look at Wei Teng, "Mr. Wei Teng doesn't trust me?"
"Maybe." Wei Teng said with a smile, "Who knows, this is just a hunch."
"Since we want to play, there must be a bet, right?" Faltings seemed indifferent, "What does Wei Teng want to use as a bet?"
"What do you want?" Witten looked at Faltings, "Perhaps, Mr. Faltings doesn't want my things."
"Well," said Faltings, "how about an apology in the newspaper if someone guesses wrong?"
"This..." Zhuang Weiran was stunned for a moment, "Isn't it good?" Although everyone is a mathematician and says that money must be too tacky, it's not necessary to play with it.
"Professor Deligne, what do you think?"
"I have no objection." Deligne shrugged his shoulders. "If you really want to play like this, I think it might be more interesting to call more people, isn't it?"
"Everyone!" Faltins put down his wine glass, and the people around him were almost all professors from Princeton University and the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study.Faltings raised his voice, "I bet with Professor Witten, do you want to participate?"
This is indeed a very interesting thing. Everyone looked at Faltings and Witten curiously.
"What's the stake?"
"Apologize in the newspaper, or can it be an academic journal of Princeton University?" Faltings raised his brows, with an expression that he didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement.
"Interesting." The professor next to him said with a smile, "Then what are you betting on?"
"Zhuang, can you win the Fields Medal this year?"
Zhuang Weiran's whole body was not well, and he stood there dumbfounded.
"It's fun!" Feifman said with a smile, "Then I'll bet that the bank will win the Fields Medal."
"Professor Feffman, you are very familiar with Zhuang, but no one knows who will get the Fields Medal. At this time, you are sure that Zhuang will get it. If he doesn't win, will Professor Feffman be very happy?" Awkward?"
"Embarrassed?" Feifman said with a smile, "Why should I be embarrassed?"
"You can also bet that Zhuang won't win the Fields Medal." Professor Feffman said with a smile, "However, I believe Zhuang can win the Fields Medal."
"It seems that Professor Feffman is very firm in supporting Zhuang." Everyone laughed. Some people supported that Zhuang Weiran will win the Fields Medal this year, while others thought that Zhuang Weiran should win the Fields Medal four years later.
The two sides have different views and are discussing loudly.It attracted many professors who had not yet participated, so more scholars and professors participated in it, booing as if they were betting whether the house would win the Fields Medal.
As the client, Zhuang Weiran's mentality was about to collapse.
I was quite nervous at first, but now I am not only not nervous, but even feel a little funny.
Looking at these mathematicians, they all bet on him.Zhuang Weiran sighed and stood beside him silently.
Then he heard Pierce's voice, "Everyone has already decided whether Professor Zhuang will win the award or not. Regardless of whether Professor Zhuang can win the award this time, I think Princeton University's academic journals should have an apology special."
"It seems to be true." Zhuang Weiran muttered beside him, suddenly someone patted his shoulder, turned around and saw Professor Tao looking at him with a smile, "Xiao Zhuang, what are you doing?"
"No, nothing." Zhuang Weiran hurriedly shook his head.
"I see so many people gathered together, you don't know what they are doing?" Professor Tao looked curiously at this group of bigwigs gathered together, he has seen many bigwigs, and he knows their names , but this group of bigwigs didn't know him.
"No, they're making a bet."
"Sounds very interesting." Professor Tao looked at the group of people, then at Zhuang Weiran, "Xiao Zhuang, they should bet on you, right?"
"Professor, how do you know?"
"Many people are already betting on whether you will win the Fields Medal this year." Professor Tao said with a smile, "I guess they are also joining in the fun."
"I ask you, Xiao Zhuang, what is their bet?"
"Princeton's academic journal apologizes." Zhuang Weiran spread his hand helplessly, "Don't be annalsofatheatics."
"It shouldn't be annalsofatheatics, which is one of the four major journals in mathematics, and it is impossible for Princeton University to do this. But I heard that you are about to be promoted to a professor at Princeton University, okay. You have only graduated with a Ph.D. for half a year. I'm going to be a professor. I'm going to train doctoral students in the future, Xiao Zhuang, how do you feel?" Tao Hanhai looked at Zhuang Weiran with a smile, his eyes were full of admiration for the students.To be honest, this is the student he admires the most, not one of them.
Probably the best student of his life.
"What can I do?" Zhuang Weiran sighed, with a terrible headache.
"What?" Looking at Zhuang Weiran's headache, "I don't know how to guide the students?"
"Professor." Zhuang Weiran rubbed his hands and said, "How did you lead Senior Brother Cheng?"
"Give him a subject, let him do it by himself, and ask me if there is anything he doesn't understand." Tao Hanhai patted Zhuang Weiran on the shoulder, "Maybe he is doing the same subject as you."
"I'm thinking about it." Zhuang Weiran rubbed his hair, as if he was thinking about something.
Cheng Qiu walked to Zhuang Weiran's side and said softly, "Junior Brother Zhuang, are you ready?"
"Ready for what?" Zhuang Weiran gave Cheng Qiu a blank look.
"Filipino Award." Cheng Qiu said excitedly, "Junior Brother, if you win the Philippine Award this year, you will be the first Chinese to win the Philippine Award."
"Old Mr. Qiu has won the Fields Award before." Zhuang Weiran said helplessly, "I am not the first Chinese to win the Fields Award."
"It's not the same. When old Mr. Qiu won the Philippine award, he was from the lighthouse nationality, and you are from the Chinese nationality." Cheng Qiu shook his head, "The meaning is different. If you can win the Philippine award, the mathematics community in the entire Hua country will be very happy. .”
"Maybe." Zhuang Weiran didn't speak, Tao Hanhai next to him patted Cheng Qiu's shoulder, "Stop saying a few words, boy."
"Xiao Zhuang is also feeling quite nervous at this moment."
Cheng Qiu thought, it really is.If he made such a big achievement, he might be able to win the Philippine Award, then before the start of each Philippine Award, his heartbeat must exceed 200.
Zhuang Weiran tightened his lips now, and he knew that he was very nervous just by looking at it.
"Ladies and gentlemen." The host said in fluent English with a microphone, "Welcome to the International Congress of Mathematicians."
"Please allow me to be very honored to tell you that the award ceremony will be held soon."
Cheng Qiu next to Zhuang Weiran said in Zhuang Weiran's ear, "The awards will start soon, Xiaozhuang, what do you think?"
"I'm just here to watch." Zhuang Weiran stared at the stage while holding the fruit juice. The International Congress of Mathematicians has four major awards - the Fields Award, the Gauss Award, the Chern Award, and the Nevanliner Award.
Among them, the Fields Medal is the most important and the most important award in the field of mathematics, also known as the Nobel Prize in the field of mathematics.Only the most outstanding mathematicians under the age of 40 can receive this honor.
The Gauss Prize rewards mathematicians who have made achievements in applied mathematics.
The Nevanlinna Prize is awarded for major contributors to the mathematical aspects of computer science.
The Chern Award is the highest lifetime achievement award in the international mathematics community.
"What do you think the first award will be?"
Zhuang Weiran thought for a while and shook his head, he really didn't know what the first award would be.
Even those bigwigs who have participated in several sessions don't know what the first award will be, how could he know.He could only wait silently, his heart beating faster.
"The first award is the Newangliner Award." After the host finished speaking, Cheng Qiu beside him sighed and said, "I thought the first one would be the Fields Award."
"As the highlight of the International Congress of Mathematicians, I don't think it will be the first to be awarded." Professor Tao has also participated in the International Congress of Mathematicians before, so he is not surprised at all. People who have made contributions to the mathematics of science, but almost all of them are computer scientists, so this award is the first to be awarded, and it can be said in the past.”
Anyway, seeing that Linna Award was not for him, Zhuang Weiran took a sip of juice.
"It is subhashkhot who won the Newanglinna award."
Not surprisingly, he is not a Chinese.The applause of the audience resounded like thunder, and Zhuang Weiran also applauded.
After subhashkhot received the award, Cheng Qiu also began to get nervous. The next thing is the time for the award of the mathematics award. It is not certain which award will be awarded first.
He put his hands on the table tremblingly and took a deep breath.
Looking at Cheng Qiu's appearance, Zhuang Weiran couldn't help but feel a little funny, he hasn't reached this point yet, why is the senior brother like this now?
"Brother." Zhuang Weiran looked at Cheng Qiu and said with a smile, "Isn't it? I'm not so nervous yet, why are you more nervous than me?"
"Can you not be nervous?" Cheng Qiu took a deep breath, "It may be the Fields Award soon."
"I guess the Fields Medal will be at the end." Professor Tao said softly while sitting beside Zhuang Weiran and Cheng Qiu, "It is impossible to award the Fields Medal so soon."
"Xiao Zhuang, let me ask you something."
"Professor, tell me." Zhuang Weiran lowered his head and looked at Professor Tao.
"Do you think winning the Fields Medal is the end of a mathematician?"
"No." Zhuang Weiran shook his head, "I think winning the Fields Medal is just the starting point for a mathematician."
"What?" Cheng Qiu stared dumbfounded at the chat between the two. "The Fields Medal is just the starting point for mathematicians. Don't, stop joking, right? How is it possible?"
"For you, it may be the end, but for Xiao Zhuang, I think this is just his starting point." Professor Tao said in a deep voice, "I think Xiao Zhuang should be able to reach the highest peak of mathematics."
"At least I hope so." Professor Tao looked at Cheng Qiu, "Yes, I just hope that you can do more mathematics research, and I really don't have much request for you."
How could this be so!The distinction between professors is too obvious.
"Next up is the Gauss Award."
Tao Hanhai frowned, and smiled at the two students, as if to say, 'You see, I'm right. ’ Finally he added, “The next one should be the Chern Award.”
"The recipient of the award is stanleyosher, for his outstanding work in the field of applied mathematics and multiple engineering interdisciplinary fields." When the host announced, Zhuang Weiran still started to applaud.
This is his first time participating in the International Congress of Mathematicians. He doesn't understand anything, so he just needs to applaud.
Although this is a grand party form, in fact, it is not just a party.There are still quite a few media outside waiting to interview these award-winning contestants, Zhuang Weiran can't be too out of gregarious.More than 1000 or even thousands of people participated in the entire conference of mathematicians, and there were so many participants.Who can tell clearly how people will talk about Zhuang Weiran if he is not very gregarious.
So he kept applauding, anyway, no matter whether he knew it or not, as long as he applauded it was right.
What's more, receiving these awards should indeed be applauded. After all, these awards are enough to prove that they are good enough in the field of mathematics or computer science and have made outstanding contributions.
There were many mathematicians that Zhuang Weiran didn't know sitting next to him. I heard that the participants were not only mathematicians, but also theoretical physicists, computer scientists and so on.Many times, they are inseparable from mathematicians.Otherwise, calculate the guaranteed break by yourself.
Next, Zhuang Weiran wanted to hear more seriously what the next award would be.
Professor Tao Hanhai's expression also became serious, and now there are only two awards left: the Chern Award and the Fields Award.The more it came to this time, the more everyone waited with bated breath.
Every four years, the most outstanding mathematicians will be born, and everyone wants to know who are the most outstanding young mathematicians in the past four years in the eyes of the International Mathematical Union.
Mathematicians like Wiles are still in the minority, and many mathematicians became famous at a young age. Before the age of 40, being able to make outstanding mathematical achievements shows that he can be among the world's top mathematicians.As for not making outstanding mathematical achievements before the age of 40, it does not mean that you cannot become a first-class mathematician.But in the end, it still proves that in terms of talent, mathematicians who won the Fields Medal are not as great.
Of course, even if he does not win the Fields Medal, it does not prevent him from becoming the top mathematician.
Only mathematicians who have won the Fields Medal are enough to become masters of mathematics in the 21st century, while mathematicians who have not won the Fields Medal need to spend more effort to keep pace with mathematicians who have won the Fields Medal, and even to surpass them.
"The next thing to be awarded is the Fields Medal. I think this is the award you want to see the most." The host paused, "The International Congress of Mathematicians, held every four years, has received the most attention over the years. It's the Fields Medal."
"Next, there will be the Fields Medal Award Ceremony, known as the Nobel Prize in mathematics."
"I invite Mr. Chairman of the International Congress of Mathematicians to present the award."
Zhuang Weiran started to applaud, and Cheng Qiu beside him was too excited to speak, "Junior Brother, if...you will get rewards later, do you have anything to say?"
"Well, the Philippine Award is okay?" Zhuang Weiran frowned.
"It's too pretending, it's really too good at pretending." Cheng Qiu kept shaking his head, and even Tao Hanhai beside him couldn't help saying, "Since when did you get so good at pretending?"
Before the chairman of the conference stepped onto the stage, he took a deep breath and began to read, "The first mathematician to win the Fields Medal is—"
Everyone held their breath and looked in the direction of the rostrum without blinking.
The chairman of the conference, who was stared at by countless eyes, said easily, "I think everyone is waiting for me to read the list. This year's Fields Medal winners, I dare say, are unique among the Filipino Medal winners over the years. once."
What's the meaning?Everyone didn't understand, and the chairman of the meeting suddenly said something inexplicable.
"Although we have selected mathematicians who have made outstanding contributions in the past four years, I still hope that those mathematicians who have not won the Fields Medal can continue to work hard. When choosing the Fields Medal, many people, with Phil It is very close to the Fields Medal. It is a pity that we have to select the most outstanding mathematicians. I am very sorry that some people did not appear in the list of the Fields Awards. But I believe that if they do not appear in the list Those of you who are among them, if you continue to work hard, then after four years, this Philippine Award will definitely be yours."
This is said, as if it is specifically for someone to listen to.
Could it be Zhuang Weiran?Some people suddenly think that Zhuang Weiran's Yang-Misser gap in existence and quality is enough to win the Fields Award.It is not too much to say that it is the most outstanding, but most of the mathematicians who participated in the election did not wait for four years.Zhuang Weiran can still wait for many years.
Could it be that the chairman of the conference was speaking to Zhuang Weiran.Let him not be disappointed because he did not win the Fields Medal this time, and continue to study, and after four years, he will definitely be given the Fields Medal.This seems like a pie-painting act, but it is true.Zhuang Weiran is the most recommended mathematician who will not win the Fields Medal this year but will win the Fields Medal four years later.
Even Faltings frowned and muttered, "Am I wrong? It shouldn't be!"
"No way?"
"how is this possible?"
At the party, there were some whispered discussions, as if they were very puzzled about this matter.
The chairman of the conference remained calm, "Next, I will start announcing the list."
"The first winner of the Fields Medal is—" He looked at the mathematicians in the audience, "Who do you think it will be?"
What are you doing?Everyone is almost speechless, this...
Some people began to shake their heads and smile wryly, and many people's hearts were almost beating to the limit.Especially the young mathematicians, all of them looked tense and serious. Now that the chairman of the conference is making such an outburst, it must make them collapse!
"Well, I think everyone can't seem to be humorous now." The chairman of the conference continued, "From Huaguo, Zhuang Weiran!"
"For his remarkable breakthroughs in the analysis and geometry of limit partial differential equations, especially the Yang-Mills equations, and for his subversive mathematical treatment of gauge field theory."
"???" Everyone was stunned. Just now they thought that the chairman of the conference was comforting Zhuang Weiran, but they didn't expect that the first person to win the Fields Medal was Zhuang Weiran.
Just now Zhuang Weiran thought that he was definitely out of action this year, but he didn't know that his mind was blank now.
Even Cheng Qiu pushed him several times, but he didn't recover.
"Welcome Mr. Zhuang Weiran to come to the stage to receive the Fields Award." The chairman of the conference said with a smile, "This is what Mr. Zhuang Weiran should receive."
There was more enthusiastic applause at the scene than before, almost pushing the atmosphere of the entire venue to its climax.Someone was calling softly, "Zhuang, Zhuang!"
"Xiao Zhuang, hurry up to receive the award." Professor Tao Hanhai was also in a hurry, Zhuang Weiran seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit!He probably didn't expect that happiness came so suddenly.
Countless people's eyes were fixed on Zhuang Weiran who had just stood up, and he walked towards the front stage foolishly, almost falling over.
The whole person presents an unbelievable state, feeling aloof.
When walking onto the stage, the chairman of the conference said to Zhuang Weiran, "Zhuang, did what I just said scare you?"
"Indeed." Zhuang Weiran had to admit that the words of the chairman of the conference just now seemed to be addressed to him, and he always felt that something was wrong.
It turned out that it wasn't what he said!
"This is what you deserve." The chairman of the conference whispered in Zhuang Weiran's ear, "I originally wanted to take it easy, after all, you are too young. But your achievements are as dazzling as your age, and no one will It is expected what you will grow into after four years. We finally decided to give you this award now."
"You deserve this award." The chairman of the conference paused, "Zhuang, I hope you can make more outstanding and subversive contributions to mathematics in the future."
"This is what our conference staff expect from you."
"Thank you." Zhuang Weiran still didn't quite recover, his mind went blank, and he didn't know what to say, "In short, thank you very much."
"No, this is the result you made, enjoy your honor, young man." The chairman of the meeting said with a smile, "Don't you want to say something?"
"I..." Zhuang Weiran looked at the countless pairs of eyes in the audience, and took a deep breath, "I am very grateful to Professor Ji who helped me in mathematics. He is my first teacher and also my teacher. The teacher I followed when I was studying for a bachelor’s degree. He gave me a lot of things, and I followed him to learn number theory, algebra, and geometry. From then on, I became more interested in mathematics than before. In other words, I There is a sense of faith in mathematics that wants to pursue the truth."
"Before, I just thought mathematics was a very interesting subject. But under Professor Ji's teaching, I really know that mathematics is an amazing subject. He is the foundation of all science subjects. No matter what you want to learn well, you must learn it well Mathematics." Zhuang Weiran's brain has been disconnected now, he can only think of what to say.
"I started to take this subject seriously, and I no longer just thought it was fun like before. Of course, I often go to Professor Ji's house for meals, and the meals at Professor Ji's house are very delicious."
"Hahaha..." Zhuang Weiran spoke in fluent English, and almost everyone started to smile.
"About mathematics, I think everyone knows it very clearly. Besides, it is not an academic report meeting, and I also need to spend too much time talking about how hard it is to do mathematics. In my opinion, doing a mathematics project , not hard work at all. It's fun, and worth a lot of my time trying to verify."
"I am here, and I also want to thank my doctoral supervisor, the second teacher, Professor Tao Hanhai." Zhuang Weiran also named Professor Tao Hanhai, "When I first arrived at Capital University, Professor Tao Hanhai asked me what I needed to do. What subject."
"I told the professor that I wanted to do gauge field theory." Zhuang Weiran said with a smile, "The professor asked me if I needed help, and I told him that I can do it alone."
"Actually, I have already started working on Yang-Mills Existence and Quality Gap. At that time, Professor Tao would often ask me about my progress, but before I explained the situation, he didn't let me do the project with him. He always said, He believed very much in my ability to do a good job in the subject I chose, but he gave me two years."
"Later, everyone knew." Zhuang Weiran spread his hands, "It is worth mentioning that the food at Professor Tao Hanhai's house is also very delicious."
"Zhuang, do you like going to other people's houses for dinner?" Faltins was taken aback for a moment, this hobby is quite unique.
"In my opinion, it may not be that Zhuang likes to eat at other people's homes." Professor Deligne next to him said with a smile, "I have seen Mr. Feffman eat at Zhuang's many times."
"Oh?" Faltins looked at Professor Feffman.
"No, I just think Zhuang's Huaguo cuisine is very delicious." Professor Fei Fuman spread his hands and said, "It's much more delicious than takeaway."
"Zhuang can cook?"
"That's right, I didn't think of it, and I didn't think of it either." Professor Feffman said with a smile, "Don't say it, Zhuang's cooking is really delicious."
"It seems that Professor Feffman often goes to Zhuang's place for dinner."
"By the way, let's discuss about mathematics." Professor Feffman added.
Everyone started to laugh, and Zhuang Weiran's speech was coming to an end, "In short, I am very grateful to the two professors for teaching me, and I am very grateful to the professors of Princeton University, who have inspired me a lot in mathematics. I believe that I will be able to do more research in mathematics in the future. I cannot guarantee how important my research is. But I do think mathematics is very interesting and it is my lifelong partner. I can’t imagine, How should I live without math subjects?"
The applause of "Papa Papa" sounded like thunder, and Zhuang Weiran breathed a sigh of relief.He really didn't know what to say, he never thought that he would win the Fields Medal.
Not to mention preparing any speech, after speaking for about a few minutes, his mind is still blank.Next, the winners of the Philippine Awards came to the stage one by one. Zhuang Weiran shook hands with others stiffly, congratulating them on winning the Fields Awards.
Until he stepped down, he was completely blinded and hadn't recovered yet.
Tao Hanhai looked at Zhuang Weiran's appearance, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Zhuang, what's wrong?"
"No, nothing." Zhuang Weiran shook his head, "I just didn't expect that this year's Philippine Award would really be awarded to me."
"Actually, I think they want to delay for another four years. Of course, it is not impossible. You are now, four years later, you are only 22 years old. Even at that time, you will be the youngest winner of the Philippine Award. Who I can’t say anything about the organizing committee. Probably because your outstanding contributions in limit partial differential equations and geometry can no longer be ignored by them, and your mathematical treatment in gauge field theory is too perfect. And subversive, there's no way they wouldn't award it to you."
Zhuang Weiran was silent, and Cheng Qiu next to him said excitedly, "Junior brother, can I touch your medal?"
"No." Zhuang Weiran handed the Fields Award medal to Cheng Qiu, dumbfounded, "I still think that the Fields Award is just the starting point."
"For most of the Tao," for example, Professor Edward Witten, who studies mathematics and physics.For example, Professor Feffman, he is a mathematician and a fluid dynamics scientist. "
Zhuang Weiran nodded, and Tao Hanhai next to him said, "Xiao Zhuang, you are indeed very talented in quantum mechanics, but you still need to work hard on other physics theories."
"Zhuang, Princeton University is very good in mathematics and theoretical physics. I hope you can gain more knowledge during these few years at Princeton University. In the future, it will be the best to return to China."
"Professor, is this what you mean?"
Tao Hanhai looked at Zhuang Weiran, "It's not only what I mean, but also what the higher authorities mean."
"Above?" Zhuang Weiran didn't quite understand.
"That's right, above." Tao Hanhai winked at Zhuang Weiran, "Who sent you abroad as a visiting scholar?"
"I see." Zhuang Weiran nodded, "I will study hard."
Professor Tao Hanhai smiled, "However, the University of Science and Technology of China probably won't be able to wait so long."
"Ah?" Zhuang Weiran looked at Professor Tao Hanhai foolishly.
"They have a project recently, which is not easy to do. They are jointly working with our Institute of Aerodynamics, but the progress is very slow." Professor Tao sighed, "I am engaged in theoretical physics, so I did not participate in it."
"However, I know that their progress is not going well. Many people from the Mathematics Research Center are also involved and complain every day."
Zhuang Weiran didn't speak, Tao Hanhai continued, "My personal opinion is that I hope you can return to China. Of course, if you really don't want to return to China, no one can invite you. The research environment of Princeton University is indeed very good. But the country is also starting to improve. Besides, if you are such a great master, who dares to give you pointers if you go there?"
"Look at Mr. Yang, does anyone dare to tell him what to do?" Tao Hanhai continued, "You are the winner of the Philippine Prize, so you are the Nobel Prize winner in mathematics. Can the country not value you?"
"If a genius like you can return to China, it will not only bring about huge changes in scientific research to the country, but may even form a siphon effect, just like Mr. Yang returned to China before." Tao Hanhai said to Zhuang Weiran, " I agree that you go abroad and learn more things abroad, which will be very helpful for your future academic studies. But I personally don’t agree with you staying abroad and not coming back.”
"Professor, I will seriously consider it."
"Okay." Tao Hanhai said with a smile, "You don't want to play this game for me anymore. You have not lost to any master in the world in terms of limit partial differential equations and differential geometry. Don't call me a professor every day. .”
"You have already surpassed me in mathematics." Tao Hanhai patted Zhuang Weiran on the shoulder, "At least, I can't solve the Millennium Prize problem now."
Zhuang Weiran smiled and didn't speak. To be honest, he didn't know what to say.
"What's the next topic?"
"Hilbert space." Zhuang Weiran paused, "I want to make some breakthroughs in the field of functional analysis."
"You kid." Tao Hanhai shook his head and said, "I don't understand what you're thinking, but if you want to create a Hilbert space, it's pretty good."
"Thank you, Professor." Zhuang Weiran scratched his head and said, "I thought you would object, Professor."
"Against what?" Tao Hanhai was a little amused, "As long as you don't go to study chemistry or biomedicine, I definitely won't object. You have a specialization in art, and your kid can do well in mathematics and physics." Go a long way, don't be complacent, think that you are already very good. Then go to learn other subjects."
"Don't worry, I won't." Zhuang Weiran reassured Professor Tao Hanhai, saying that he would definitely not study other subjects.
Professor Tao Hanhai nodded, after the next Chern Mathematics Award was awarded.
The chairman of the conference raised his glass and said, "Let's celebrate the winners of the four major awards!"
"Congratulations to them for getting the honor they deserve. This moment is the time to enjoy their honor."
After drinking the juice, Zhuang Weiran found some snacks to fill his stomach.Many people ran to Zhuang Weiran, "Zhuang, congratulations on winning the Fields Medal."
"Thank you!" Zhuang Weiran responded one by one, and it took about half an hour before he felt a little more relaxed.
Putting down the glass of juice, he felt that he didn't need to eat anything anymore, he already had a feeling of fullness.
"Zhuang." The chairman of the conference walked to Zhuang Weiran's side.
"Sir." Zhuang Weiran turned around and said to the chairman of the meeting, "What's the matter?"
"How will the academic report the day after tomorrow be prepared?"
"I think I can surprise everyone."
"Really?" The chairman of the conference was a little drunk, "I want to discuss something with you."
"You say."
"You know, in addition to the main venue of the International Congress of Mathematicians, there are also dozens of satellite conferences, which are distributed in Huaguo, Neon and other Asian countries."
"I would like to invite you to participate in some of the satellite meetings of Huaguo and Neonguo."
"Of course." Zhuang Weiran nodded and said, "I should be free in June. If I attend the satellite meeting of the International Congress of Mathematicians in Huaguo and Nihong, I can."
"Then the first stop is Longcheng University in Huaguo, after your academic report will be over the day after tomorrow."
"Oh?" Zhuang Weiran raised his brows, "I am very familiar with that place."
"En?" The chairman of the conference was stunned for a moment, "Zhuang, do you know Dragon City?"
"I am from Longcheng, Mr. Chairman."
"So that's how it is." The chairman of the conference said with a smile, "We arranged for Dragon City, Luyang, Capital City. And the neon city of Kyoto and Tokyo."
"Ok."
"Someone will contact you at that time." After the chairman of the meeting finished speaking, he left. Zhuang Weiran put down his glass, wondering if he should leave now.It seems that there is nothing else to do. With this time, he might as well go back to the hotel to study it first.As he said that, Zhuang Weiran wanted to run away early.
Cheng Qiu caught Zhuang Weiran with quick eyes and hands, "Where are you going?"
"Shall I go back to the hotel?"
"The outside is full of media reporters. If you go out, you will definitely be the first Filipino award winner to be questioned." Cheng Qiu winked at Zhuang Weiran, "I think it's better for you not to go out now."
Just at this time, Ji Anyi came trotting all the way. Coincidentally, Wiles brought Pierce to Zhuang Weiran, "Zhuang, congratulations on winning the Fields Award. You are the youngest winner of the Fields Award. Just for this, you It's worth a drink, isn't it?"
"Thank you." Zhuang Weiran raised the juice glass and had a drink with Wiles.
Afterwards, Ji Anyi whispered in Zhuang Weiran's ear, "Boss Zhuang, the professor wants to tell you something."
"Okay." Zhuang Weiran said to Professor Wiles apologetically, "Sorry, Professor Wiles, I still have something to do."
"It's okay, Zhuang, you are the protagonist tonight." Professor Wiles shrugged, "Every time the winner of the Philippine Award will be the protagonist."
Zhuang Weiran followed behind Ji Anyi, and came to the corner in a short while.
This corner is relatively remote, and no one is there.
Zhuang Weiran saw another person he didn't know besides Professor Ji.
Stepping up, he said to Ji
