I just want to be a quiet scholar

Chapter 281 Psychological Transition Period

"Cheers!"

Shen Qi, Muller, Mary, and Jonas opened a bottle of champagne in the faculty restaurant on the Princeton campus and held a small celebration party.

Shen Qi became popular, and Muller, Mary, and Jonas also became popular. After all, the three of them and Shen Qi jointly completed the proof of Riemann's conjecture, and their names were on the paper.

Just now, Professor Muller was inexplicably nominated as a candidate for this year's "Leibniz Prize".The Leibniz Prize is the highest award in German mathematics and is only awarded to German mathematicians.

Mary, who holds a Ph.D., will no longer be a teaching assistant at Muller, but will soon be employed as a research fellow by the Princeton Department of Mathematics.

Jonas returned from vacation, he received a shocking news, he will get a PhD in Princeton, compulsory graduation.

Jonas, who had studied at Princeton for nine years, did not know what to do after his Ph.D., and the Swedish Ph.D. was confused.

The biggest hero, Shen Qi, is about to get a PhD. The notice in the department is: Qi, he will defend within a month, and he will go through the motions. He will start to work in September.

Shen Qi got the news that from September this year, he will be a lecturer in the Department of Mathematics at Princeton.

The lecturer is also going through the motions. After one semester, starting next spring, Shen Qi will be promoted to associate professor.

Associate Professor → How long does it take to become a professor?
The department didn't say anything, and Shen Qi didn't ask.

The transition from student to teacher requires a psychological transition period. Shen Qi agrees with the arrangement in the department, let's transition for a while.

Although there are many happy events, a Riemann conjecture benefits the entire team, but Professor Muller is a little sad: "From next month, the three of you will leave me."

"Mary and I will stay in Princeton, Professor Muller, have you forgotten, the supplementary theorem of Riemann's theorem, which is what IMU calls the 'third expression' project, we are still a team, our work has not It's over." Shen Qi said, and he asked Jonas: "What about you, Jonas, what are your plans after graduation? Will you continue to stay in our team?"

"Why not." Jonas was no longer confused, he was going to hang out with Shen Qi.

Within this month, both Shen Qi and Jonas will receive their doctorates, which means that they are no longer students of Professor Muller.

The subject of "RT Third Expression" is currently under the name of Professor Muller. On the day Shen Qi gets his PhD, he will become the first person in charge of the "RT Third Expression" project, have the right to control project funds, and Other Academic Rights.

So Jonas is about to hang out with Shen Qi.

RH is the English abbreviation of Riemann's conjecture, and now RH has become history, because RH was proved by Shen Qi and others.

T stands for Theorem, the theorem.

RT is an abbreviation for Riemann's Theorem, which is a new term that has only recently become popular in the mathematical community.

The "RT third expression" project has actually been carried out for several months. During this time, Shen Qi has too many mundane tasks, and his teammates are also busy, so the progress is temporarily put on hold.

In the Princeton faculty cafeteria, from time to time, professors at neighboring tables raised their wine glasses and paid respects to Shen Qi and his table from a few meters away.

The next day, Shen Qi gave a speech to all the teachers and students in Princeton.

The first ten days of June has entered the summer vacation of American universities, and the lecture hall is full of audiences. Some students have postponed enjoying the vacation in order to listen to Shen Qi’s speech.
This speech was organized by the University of Puerto Rico, and it was Shen Qi's first official speech after the proof of Riemann's conjecture was approved by IMU.

"Someone asked me, among the remaining six millennium problems, why did I solve the Riemann Hypothesis first?" Shen Qi gave a speech in a full state of spirit, and the audience was in high spirits.

"The reason is simple. RH is a purely mathematical problem. The Riemann Hypothesis is what I call 'the movement of prime numbers'."

"A similar millennium problem is BSD, which is the Birch and Swinnerton-Dell conjecture. It is also a purely mathematical problem. More specifically, it is a number theory problem. To be more specific, BSD is about the Diophantine equation. Guess, I call it 'this equation is kind of cold'."

"It is generally believed in the mathematics community that Hodge's conjecture is the hardest millennium problem. It belongs to algebraic geometry problems. I call it 'geometry problems without figures'."

"The research and solution of the above three millennium problems only rely on mathematical knowledge." Having said that, Shen Qi paused for a while.

"It's just you, Qi!" A student in the audience shouted. They felt that they had been hurt by a critical blow, but they still listened with gusto.

"The remaining three problems make physicists and computer scientists collapse, and also make mathematicians helpless." Shen Qi continued.

"The Navier-Stokes equation, it is the most interesting equation, we use the NS equation to create fluctuations and manipulate nature... Theoretically, this is the case, and we have also practiced part of it. Now there is a lack of a recognized, reasonable solution."

"Similar to the NS equation, the general solution of the Yang-Mills equation is the treasure we have always wanted to obtain. What constitutes us is the field, and we are trapped in the field and it is difficult to distinguish the direction... This is the meaning of the Yang-Mills equation. It is We point the way."

"Actually, the last thing I want to touch is the P vs. NP problem. I'm not good at this field, and at the same time I'm in awe. In the face of P vs. NP, the computer can't do anything, and neither can I."

"Ladies and gentlemen, mathematics is elusive, but mathematics is also full of fun. My team and I proved the Riemann Hypothesis. This is just the starting point, and there are more challenges waiting for us in the future."

"My team welcomes you to join at any time, whether you are an undergraduate or a graduate student, as long as you like mathematics, you can find me, thank you!"

After Shen Qi's speech, he won thunderous applause.

Zhou Yu'an was one of the applauding audience. He said to Shen Qi after the report meeting: "Mr. Shen, your admissions advertisements are really outstanding."

Shen Qi said: "There is a lot of pressure, Lao Zhou. Next semester, I will take a math class as a lecturer. I am good at solving questions, writing papers, and deciphering conjectures. I am not sure about being a teacher. This is not a tutorial. class, but a serious class."

"Mr. Shen, don't be modest. The undergraduates and postgraduates, boys and girls in the Department of Mathematics of Pudong University are all your fans now. Your team will grow stronger and stronger in the future. You can choose from the outstanding mathematics youths of Pudong University."

"Zhou Yu'an, when can you join my team?"

"Then you have to give me a professional counterpart project! I'm not good at number theory, and your subjects are all number theory projects."

"Forget it, I'm not your tutor, and I'm not qualified to lead graduate students. I'm just a preparatory lecturer who hasn't started yet."
