Extraordinary understanding: from mathematical emperor to civilized leader

"By the way, before I came, I also contacted Mr. Wiles and invited him to come to Xia Guo together." Schultz said, "But alas, he refused." "

When Schultz says Wiles, he refers to Andrew Wiles, a mathematical giant who proved Fermat's Last Theorem.

Professor Faltins said: "This is also normal, his body has never been very good, and now he is also seventy years old, he is really not suitable for traveling. "

Schultz's eyes were strange when he heard Professor Faltins say that seventy was not suitable for traveling.

Because didn't Faltins himself travel thousands of miles to come to the Xia Kingdom?

Schultz coughed and said, "It's not that for this reason, Mr. Wiles didn't come to Xia Guo, it's because he was going to Finnland." "

Professor Faltins wondered: "Go to Finnland, why is that, is he going to give an academic lecture?" "

Schultz shook his head and said, "Have you forgotten that this year's International Congress of Mathematicians was held in Finnland, and Mr. Wiles said that he was waiting for Xu Ning at the conference." "

Professor Faltins smiled and said, "Can he be sure that Xu Ning will definitely go to the International Congress of Mathematicians?" "

Schultz said: "Mr. Wiles said that if Xu Ning really proved Hodge's conjecture, then he would definitely win this year's Fields Medal, and then he would definitely go to Finland to lead the award.

If Xu Ning's proof is wrong, then Mr. Wiles naturally does not have to rush to see Xu Ning, anyway, there will always be a chance in the future. "

Professor Faltins said abruptly: "Yes, the results of this year's Fields Medal will be announced almost a week later, and Xu Ning may really win the Fields Medal now." "

Schultz said with a smile: "Last time, didn't we say that we could win the Fields Medal unless Xu Ning proved the Hodge conjecture within half a month, but I didn't expect that it would be a few days of work, and he really did it." "

Professor Faltins couldn't help but laugh out loud when he thought back, "Now, it depends on whether the Fields Medal jury will award Xu Ning or not." "

......

A huge conference hall with eleven people sitting around a long brown wooden table.

Everyone looked seventy or eighty years old, with gray hair and mostly reading glasses.

Pontereggine, who was sitting at the top, held up his reading glasses, looked around the audience, and then said: "Now, ladies and gentlemen, please talk about whether we should award the Schunningfields Prize." "

When the words fell, someone immediately said: "I don't think there is any need to award Xu Ning, we identified three Fields Medal winners in last month's meeting, why should we temporarily add one now?" "

The International Congress of Mathematicians is awarded every four years, and the Fields Medal is naturally awarded every four years, but it is not awarded to only one person, but to three or four people at the same time.

That's pretty much one a year.

After this person finished speaking, a thin old man spoke: "I personally think that Xu Ning should be awarded, after all, he proved the two mathematical problems of the Sitapan conjecture and the Kolatz conjecture, which is enough to win this year's Fields Medal."

Not to mention that now that he has announced that he has proved the Hodge conjecture, if this is true, then if we don't give him an award in the end, we will be a real joke. "

The original man snorted and said, "Xu Ning is just announcing, who said that his proof process must be correct, and which scholar endorses him?" "

The thin old man replied: "Xu Ning dares to announce this, he must be very confident in himself, and he will never use his academic reputation to deceive the world."

Besides, he also created the Xuning E8 manifold and is the most in-depth researcher of the Hodge conjecture, so I think his proof is most likely correct, and we must pay attention to this matter. (Read violent novels, go on Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

The two of them choked each other, and the remaining few people also spoke, and the entire conference room was a mess.

Finally, it was Ponterekin who took a small mallet and gently slapped the table and said, "Order! Order！ "

Under his voice, the crowd gradually quieted down.

Pontelekin frowned and said, "I know that some of you are actually not unwilling to award the award to a person who has made great contributions to the academic community, and the reason why he refused to award the award to Xu Ning is just because he is a Xia Guo, right?" "

After saying this, the people present looked at each other.

The air was silent for more than ten seconds, and finally someone spoke: "'Mr. Pontereggine, in any case, the Fields Medal has never been awarded to any mathematician of summer origin. "

Although this person did not say it explicitly, in fact, everyone knew what he meant, that is, he approved of Pontelekin's words.

The biggest reason why they refused to award the Xunningfields Medal was that he was a Xia countryman.

Pontelekin's brow furrowed tightly, he thought for a moment, and then said: "If Xu Ning only proved the Sitapan conjecture and the Korats conjecture, then we can reject him on the grounds that he is too young.

But I must remind you that if Xu Ning does prove the Hodge conjecture, and we do not award him this year's Fields Medal, then the influence and credibility of the Fields Medal will be greatly diminished from then on. "

After listening to Pontelekin's admonition, some people present had to think deeply at this time, even if they (Wang Zhao Zhao) had prejudice against Xu Ning in their hearts.

As judges of the Fields Medal, the credibility of the Fields Medal is tied to their interests.

If interests are affected because of prejudice, it is really undeserved.

Seeing that everyone's expressions softened a little, Pontelekin gave his own advice:

"Professor Faltins, Dr. Schultz, and Mr. Qiu Chengtong and others are listening to Xu Ning's arguments, and if their final result is that Xu Ning's proof process is correct, then we will award Xu Ning Fields Medal."

If they have major disagreements, we will not consider awarding the award to Xu Ning, how? "

"Yes."

"I accept."

"No problem."

The crowd no longer rejected Pontelekin's serious advice.
