Chapter 329 Are all these scholars so powerful?
Xu Qingzhou typed away, decisively but tactfully rejecting Mia Lane's invitation.
It doesn’t matter whether he drinks or not, this woman just wants his body.
All I can say is to understand culture and respect differences.
Xu Qingzhou kept his distance from Mia Lane. In fact, he had been abroad for many years and many women had coveted his body, but none of them succeeded in the end.
There was no way. At that time, he had only one thought in his mind: What are women? How can they be as important as scientific research?
He spends most of his time either in the lab or on his way to the lab.
Looking back, that was when I was truly focused on scientific research.
Of course, the result was not very good, and he died suddenly from liver failure.
It’s still comfortable now. I have a warm little home, the school beauty Song, and a stupid cat.
The vehicle was driving slowly on the road. Fenris had already looked Xu Qingzhou over and was still amazed at his youth. It was hard to imagine that this young man had created so many miracles.
He smiled and asked, "Is this your first time in Jerusalem, Mr. Xu?"
"Yes, that's right." Xu Qingzhou nodded. He vaguely remembered that this place seemed unstable, so he had never been here.
Fenris smiled and said, "Then you must come here for a visit these days. I believe you will not be disappointed."
"Thank you. I have been looking forward to visiting this ancient and splendid city."
Along the way, Fenris chatted with Chu Jiangfeng and others, discussing problems in the field of mathematics. Xu Qingzhou joined in from time to time, and the atmosphere was quite good.
This scene made Yang Yongze feel deeply moved. Looking at the three people chatting and laughing, he suddenly felt like they were having a discussion.
Junior brother, you’re awesome.
After about 40 minutes, the convoy arrived at its lodging, a five-star hotel.
After introducing tomorrow's award ceremony, Fenris also left. After checking in, Xu Qingzhou returned to his room under the guidance of the waiter.
An awards ceremony will take place at the Capitol at 10am tomorrow, followed by several days of networking events.
On the first day, we adjusted to the time difference and there were basically no major activities.
In the room, Xu Qingzhou leaned back in his chair and rested for a few minutes. He looked out of the hotel window and the city appeared before his eyes, with ancient history and the present atmosphere intertwined.
Taking a deep breath, he took out his cell phone and sent a message to School Beauty Song, telling her that he had arrived.
Song Yao replied simply: "Have a good rest."
Xu Qingzhou thought she must be busy.
Sure enough, Song Yao sent another message: "I'm in a meeting. I'll call you when I get back."
Xu Qingzhou replied "OK" and then took out the manuscript from his bag.
The deduction of the Fourier integral operator still stopped on the night of the 16th. During these two days, he was writing a report and enjoying the tenderness with Song Yao before going abroad.
[Definition : A continuous linear operator is called a local Fourier integral operator]
Xu Qingzhou quickly entered the state. If its Schwartz kernel function is given by a homogeneous oscillation integral, where the phase function (/p: X xyx RN \{0丨— R is non-degenerate.
Time passed by while writing in the sand.
2016 2 Month 20 Day.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, Xu Qingzhou, Chu Jiangfeng and others arrived at the Capitol on time.
As soon as he stepped into the hall, Xu Qingzhou noticed that many eyes were on him. Several people had already come up to say hello. He responded one by one and exchanged contact information with each other.
While greeting others, he suddenly noticed that there were two people in the distance staring at him expressionlessly.
These two people are very special. They have slightly dark skin and no expression on their faces, which makes their already dark faces even darker.
From India?
Xu Qingzhou paused and felt that the younger man looked familiar. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly remembered that this was the Indian boy he had met once in Cambridge. The old man next to him should be his teacher, Professor Yajil.
Now, he finally understood why the other party had that expression.
The first thing the other party studied was the twin prime conjecture, which was proved by him.
After this, the other party started working on Polignac's conjecture, which would be proved by him again.
The proof of a conjecture, in addition to bringing endless honor to the prover, is also equivalent to a death sentence for other project teams.
Judging from the way these two people looked like they had lost all hope in life, Xu Qingzhou thought, "They probably have a lot of psychological trauma."
Of course, he was just sighing, not sympathizing. Both of the other party's research topics were suspected of being frauds, and each time was full of gimmicks. The former was simply not feasible, and although the latter could be proven in theory, it was difficult to achieve with current technology.
Xu Qingzhou quickly retracted his gaze and greeted other people, thinking that it would be fine if they tried to scam me, as long as they didn't run into me.
In the distance, looking at Xu Qingzhou in the crowd, Professor Yajil sighed, "Samit, how is your topic preparation going?"
"Study of local smoothness, operator interpolation methods for solving differential equations, theory of harmonic functions."
"Let's study local smoothness. This is an area that Commissioner Trevor Farrell has always been optimistic about. This way we don't have to beg them for funding."
Samit nodded: "Well, I am more inclined to this topic as well."
"You have a great talent for harmonic analysis, which is an advantage. I believe you can produce good results. At the very least, you can produce gratifying results before this Xia countryman."
Samit's eyes darkened and he nodded confidently. Harmony and analysis was the focus of his research as a master's student and a topic he also completed as a doctoral student.
As far as he knows, Xu Qingzhou is deeply involved in the field of prime numbers. By the way, he seems to have done some research in physics as well, so he has the advantage of reconciliation and analysis.
If Kong Xianbo knew what he was thinking, he would definitely say: Brother, I know this well!
The award ceremony began, and Xu Qingzhou and others sat down in their seats.
The lady who presided over the ceremony stood on the stage:
“Dear guests and audience, I am delighted that the Foundation has entrusted me with hosting this award ceremony.”
“It connects art and science, and science and art at the same time. Science has given us modern life and extended our lifespan, while art has added quality to our lives. Together, science and art have promoted the progress of the world.”
"The Wolf Prize is awarded to those who think, create, break the limits of thought, and push the imagination of those interested in science and art. For the benefit of the human family, in the next hour, we will announce the 1th Wolf Prize."
“They are all outstanding creators and researchers, and a source of pride and hope for all of us.”
After staying in China for a long time, when I see such meetings or ceremonies abroad, two words always come to my mind: sloppy.
The "careless" here is not a derogatory term. Xu Qingzhou feels that it is more like another style.
The whole meeting was not so serious.
The host was very casual and natural, and his speech was stuttering, but it did not affect everyone's attentive listening. After the host finished speaking, he invited Serge Haroche, the 2012 Nobel Prize winner in Physics and quantum physicist, to speak.
"Thank you so much to my friend, Wolfe Foundation member and Foundation CEO Roderick Williams for inviting me here today,"
“Innovations and new ideas don’t always germinate. Sometimes they germinate but bear no fruit until the tree bears fruit—fruit that benefits the whole world.”
"Congratulations to these people for receiving the Wolf Prize today. Regardless of nationality, race, skin color, religion or gender. We want to pay tribute to these people in the world of science and art."
Looking at Serge Haroche on the stage, Xu Qingzhou smiled softly, a little dazed. He had seen this kind-hearted old man several times before, and he was indeed much more energetic now.
The host came on stage and first announced the winner of the Medicine Prize.
"Laurel McKinney, for her seminal contributions to our understanding of the physiology and activity of glucagon, and of drugs like GIP1, GIP2, or, as it turned out, DPP, which are used to treat type diabetes."
The award ceremony went smoothly and the recipients went on stage to receive certificates from CEO Derek Williams.
According to regulations, the winner of the Wolf Prize must attend in person, and those who cannot attend the award ceremony will generally not be nominated for the award.
Soon it was Xu Qingzhou's turn.
The host's words were similar to those in the official website's award, in recognition of "his pioneering contributions to number theory and related fields" and describing him as "one of the greatest young mathematicians of our time."
Xu Qingzhou calmly walked onto the stage, received the certificate, and made a brief speech. He first thanked the foundation and the judges, and then said: "Mathematics is not only a product of abstraction and logic, but also a powerful tool for solving practical problems. I am deeply proud that my work can have a practical impact in certain fields."
“Mathematics is the spirit of reason, which enables the human mind to be exercised to its highest degree of perfection.”
“Mathematics governs the universe.”
After about an hour, the award ceremony ended and everyone moved to the banquet hall next door.
This kind of occasion is of course mainly for socializing, so after a simple greeting, Xu Qingzhou separated from Chu Jiangfeng and the others and communicated with each other.
"Mr. Xu, I have found a possible way to solve the Riemann hypothesis through your method. If you are interested, we can cooperate."
"I'm sorry, but I don't have any plans to do research on the Riemann hypothesis at the moment."
This was the third person Xu Qingzhou met who invited him to work together to solve a certain conjecture.
Are all these scholars so powerful?
Complaining, Xu Qingzhou stopped the waiter who was carrying the plates and got another glass of champagne. At the same time, he saw Abby Baker, the head of the American group whom he had met at the LHC, coming over.
"Congratulations, Mr. Xu."
"Thank you."
"Mr. Xu, maybe you can reconsider the conditions I mentioned last time. Of course, if you have any other requirements, you can ask for them. I think those people will be willing to satisfy you in terms of funding and team."
Abby Baker said with a grin.
Xu Qingzhou was helpless. Mia was greedy for his body, and her teacher Abby Baker was also greedy for his body.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Baker, but I don't have any intention of immigrating."
Xu Qingzhou shook his head and said, "A nest of gold or silver is not as good as one's own doghouse. No matter how good the outside world is, it is not as comfortable as staying in Xia Country."
Abby Baker sighed regretfully and asked, "Are you considering studying abroad now?"
He thought that once people arrived in the United States, saw the wonderful world outside, and were influenced by the culture of the free world, they might no longer want to go back to a place where their thoughts were restricted.
"Not ready yet."
"If you've made up your mind, you can email me and I'll be happy to write you a recommendation letter, but you may not need one."
"Thank you."
The two clinked their glasses and the topic ended.
As soon as Abby Baker left, an old white-haired man came back with a champagne glass.
"Professor Haroche." Xu Qingzhou raised his glass and clinked it with the other party, the old man, quantum physicist Serge Haroche.
"Congratulations." The old man looked at Xu Qingzhou with admiration in his eyes. "I think it won't be long before we see a young man who wins both the Fields Medal and the Wolf Prize in Mathematics. Mr. Xu, I think Guinness should open another record for you."
Xu Qingzhou smiled modestly and answered in English: "I don't want to give the Guinness judges a headache."
"Mr. Xu, I've read all your physics papers. To be honest, it's a pity that you didn't continue studying physics."
Professor Arosh said sincerely. Quantum entanglement and renormalization group theory have caused quite a stir in the physics community, but these honors have been overshadowed by the brilliance of mathematics.
Xu Qingzhou shrugged, "As you can see, I am more interested in mathematics now."
The old man smiled and shook his head, raised his glass, clinked glasses with Xu Qingzhou again, and said, "Mr. Xu, the day after tomorrow I will have a discussion meeting on the basic issues of non-locality in quantum physics. You are welcome to come."
"My pleasure." Xu Qingzhou nodded.
Whether it was the Nobel Prize he had won or the Wolf Prize he had just won, Xu Qingzhou did not feel conceited.
Medals don't tell the whole story.
Although this thing represents the public's recognition of the winner to a certain extent, it is affected by too many factors.
For example, the giant Kolmogorov, as long as he comes into contact with advanced probability theory, he will feel the shock of being dominated by various Kolmogorov theorems. In addition, at the age of 20, he constructed a counterexample to the Lusin conjecture in L1 space. At the same time, he was also the first to construct the non-unique weak solution in the fluid mechanics equation.
One person is equivalent to an entire academy of sciences.
He once saw a joke.
Because Kolmogorov was so prolific, Western countries once believed that Kolmogorov was a Soviet scientific research institution.
Look, even though Ke Shen didn’t win these awards, it doesn’t affect his contribution to the mathematics community and people’s admiration for him.
In addition to him, Gauss created a regular 19-gon when he was years old.
How should I put it? When it comes to scientific research, what we have the most is geniuses, like Riemann, Euler, Gauss, Hilbert, and Poincare, who are all all-round masters of mathematics.
After saying goodbye to Professor Arosh, Xu Qingzhou walked around the banquet for a few times and found a corner to sit down.
It was still very lively in the distance. Some professors were promoting their theories to their colleagues and handing out business cards to each other, while others were discussing issues and exchanging experiences.
He took a few photos and prepared to take them to School Beauty Song.
At the same time, a beautiful figure sat down on the chair in front of him, and said in a sad voice: "Mr. Xu, do you know how rude it is to always refuse girls' invitations?"
Xu Qingzhou: “.”
Wow, again?
