Chapter 195 The Youngest Fields Medal Winner

As the voice of the director of the International Mathematical Union fell on the stage, the entire venue was stagnant for a few seconds, and then deafening applause quickly sounded to congratulate Xu Yun for winning the Fields Medal.

Tang Yanshan, Yuan Chengming, and other domestic participants in the conference immediately had smiles on their faces when they heard the result.

how many years.

Finally, a real Chinese won the Fields Medal.

And also broke the minimum age in one fell swoop.

After the excitement, the corners of the eyes were not lacking in moisture, and tears of relief flowed down.

"Did you hear, old Yuan, Xu Yun has won the Fields Medal. This is the youngest Fields Medal winner in the history of mathematics."

"You really deserve to be my student, Tang Yanshan."

"Rounding up and down, I have won the Fields Medal."

Perhaps because of the thought of Xu Yun's growth all the way, Tang Yanshan was so happy that he didn't hide the joy on his face, and he didn't forget to give himself money when he repeated the news to Yuan Chengming beside him.

Although at his age he never hoped to get a Fields in his life, he taught a Fields Medal student.

I have no regrets.

"I heard that our mathematics community has finally stood up internationally." Yuan Chengming also had a smile on his face at the moment.

All previous worries disappeared in an instant.

And many people in the venue have a good impression of Xu Yun, especially those who have participated in the Hodge Conjecture Proof Reporting Meeting, they know better that Xu Yun's research in the field of algebraic geometry is of a real level, and he did not get the proof purely by luck as the Internet said inspiration.

Therefore, they had no objection to Xu Yun's winning the Fields Medal, and the thunderous applause lasted for a long time before gradually subsiding.

On the contrary, the professor of Dongjing University in a remote corner, Ohno Hideo, had a face full of disbelief at the moment.

It never occurred to me that Xu Yun really won the Fields Medal.

"This is impossible?"

"It must have been luck that he was so young to prove Hodge's conjecture by mistake."

"It doesn't deserve a Fields Medal at all."

"There's something dark about it."

Thinking is running quickly in my mind, especially when I think that the International Mathematical Union specially gave Xu Yun the youngest Fields Medal winner and a mathematical genius to evaluate Xu Yun's contribution, and even think that there is an insider situation in it that is not fair at all Selection.

Of course, he absolutely didn't have the guts to say this, let alone in this kind of situation.

Although the whole person's expression seemed to be uncomfortable after eating a secret hamburger, they could only last until the end of the opening ceremony.

At this time, Tang Yanshan noticed that Xu Yun hadn't come to the stage yet, so he quickly leaned over his body and reached out to touch him as a reminder.

"Why are you still standing here, hurry up."

"OK."

Xu Yun actually didn't react too much, thinking that this was a matter of course.

Seeing Tang Yanshan looking more anxious than him at this moment, I couldn't help but laugh.

However, the list of the other three winners will be announced next, and it is really not appropriate to delay too much, so he nodded at Tang Yanshan and immediately walked towards the stage.

Four chairs were thoughtfully placed on the stage, and Xu Yun first shook hands with the director of the League of Nations and said hello.

"Congratulations, Mr. Xu Yun."

"Thanks."

Immediately, he sat down generously on the head chair.

Next, with the announcement of the other three Fields Medal winners, the chairman of the International Mathematical Union will award medals after all of them are on stage.

Xu Yun has been thinking about this gold medal since a long time ago, but now that he finally got it, he doesn't feel much.

Resisting the idea of ​​wanting to bite, I planned to step down after delivering my speech according to the procedure.

It is worth looking forward to the announcement of the winners list at the opening ceremony, but it will be boring for mathematicians later on. The highlight is tomorrow's academic report. After all, everyone comes to the conference mainly for communication.

According to the past tradition, the International Mathematical Union will invite dozens of scholars who have contributed to the development of mathematics to report at the conference.

It also includes the recipients of the awards.

And the entire conference will last for a very long time.

But before he stepped off the stage, he was suddenly stopped by the alliance director on stage.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Xu Yun, because you have proved the Hodge conjecture of the world's seven major mathematical problems in the millennium, and now the Clay Institute of Mathematics will award you the set bonus."

Although the Fields Medal is made of pure gold, there is not much prize money for everyone.

In comparison, the one million dollars offered by the Clay Institute of Mathematics must be more tempting.

Naturally, he would not refuse this kind of money collection.

"OK."

Nodding in response to the other party, he stayed alone on the stage waiting for the bonus from the Cray Mathematics Institute.

"Let's welcome Professor Griffith from the Clay Institute of Mathematics to award the Hodge Conjecture prover."

Hearing this, Xu Yun was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the person who awarded him the bonus was an acquaintance. Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Griffith's familiar face walking towards him on the stage.

Originally, he was in the audience just now, but he was still thinking about whether to go over and say hello to Griffith.

I didn't expect to meet on stage so soon.

The Clay Institute of Mathematics has proposed the world's seven major mathematical problems, and set up a prize of one million dollars for each problem. As of today, it has been officially awarded twice. As a result, Perelman, the prover of the Poincaré conjecture He also blatantly refused to accept the award.

Therefore, the Clay Institute of Mathematics has attached great importance to this award.

Griffith was well aware of his mission this time. After taking the stage, he did not immediately start a conversation with Xu Yun. Instead, he told the audience about the proposal of Hodge's conjecture and the final proof.

"After nearly two years of verification of the proof of Hodge's conjecture by the mathematical community, today I officially announce on behalf of the Clay Institute of Mathematics that the problem of Hodge's conjecture has been completely solved by Dr. Xu Yun."

"He will receive a million-dollar prize from the Cray Mathematical Institute."

"I hope that more people in the academic world can launch an impact on other issues and promote the development of international mathematics."

Following Griffith's words, yesterday he turned around and presented the prize to Xu Yun under the watchful eyes of all the scholars in the venue.

"Congratulations Xu Yun, I am looking forward to your future achievements."

"Thank you Professor Griffith."

Xu Yun took over the medal from Griffith and expressed his sincere thanks.

Griffith did not stay on stage, and returned the stage to Xu Yun to deliver a new speech.

Regarding Hodge's conjecture of the million-dollar prize, Xu Yun had already planned, so he wouldn't pause at this moment, even if he raised the microphone to speak out one of his plans.

"The development of mathematics is inseparable from the cultivation of new forces, so I plan to set up a foundation with all the prize money, which will be used to motivate young people who study mathematics so that they can go further."

For him, these bonuses are nothing, but the significance of establishing a mathematics foundation is completely different.

According to his plan, he will also rely on the foundation to set up his own national mathematics award.

Awards are awarded every year.

After all, there are very few people in China who are willing to devote themselves to the research of theoretical mathematics. As a director of the Mathematical Society, since he wants to lead the domestic mathematics community to an international position of authority, his efforts are indispensable.

His decision was also recognized by many scholars in the audience, and he finally walked off the stage amidst warm applause.

...

"You have a heart. Since you want to set up the Xu Yun Award, the Mathematical Society will definitely support it unconditionally."

Seeing Xu Yun walking down, Yuan Chengming immediately opened his mouth to express his attitude as the chairman of the Mathematics Society.

But these two sentences made Xu Yun a little confused.

"Xu Yun Award?"

"Of course it's the Xu Yun Award. Mathematics awards are all named after mathematicians." Yuan Chengming explained with a smile to Xu Yun's question: "You use your own money to set up this award, and you also set up this award for the entire mathematics community." He has made a significant contribution, and it is normal to name the award after himself."

"If this award becomes something like the Fields Medal in the future, then you will be included in mathematics textbooks." Tang Yanshan also echoed after hearing this.

Both Yuan Chengming and Tang Yanshan know that Xu Yun's deep technology is in full swing.

There really is no shortage of bonuses for this.

So they support Xu Yun's decision.

Xu Yun had never thought about naming the award with his own name.

But after listening to Tang Yanshan and Yuan Chengming, he was a little moved.

It's just that he is abroad now, so he has to go back and study carefully about the foundation and awards, so there's absolutely no need to think too much about it now.

When the thought stayed here, he simply changed the subject on his own initiative.

"I'll think about it when I get back."

The next time is the announcement of other award winners, because without the Fields Medal, the response has dropped significantly.

Even the applause was almost halved.

Until the end of the opening ceremony, Xu Yun was soon surrounded by mathematicians from all over the world.

They all congratulated him.

The level of enthusiasm was so frustrating that the surrounding reporters couldn't get close to Xu Yun.

Just stood around and waited patiently.

On the contrary, many photographers who reacted quickly took pictures of this scene for news reports.

"I knew that with your talent and strength, you would definitely win the Fields Medal and become a great mathematician."

"Now you did."

"congratulations."

Xu Yun in the crowd saw Ming Te, whose appearance was not much worse than his own, and smiled in response to this extremely high evaluation.

"Thanks."

Especially thinking that the Goldbach conjecture that the other party has studied for many years has been successfully proved by him first, and he can't help feeling a little sympathetic.

And after basically dealing with the scholars who came to congratulate him, Xu Yun didn't see that Professor Ohno Hideo for a long time. He wanted to use the Fields Medal to mock him, but he disappeared.

"This little old man runs so fast."

With a mutter in his mouth, he was ready to be interviewed by the press corps.

Tang Yanshan, who was standing next to him, noticed Xu Yun's expression, and responded with a smile: "You are looking for the professor at Dongjing University, he left the venue before the opening ceremony was over, probably because he was afraid of being in front of the world's mathematicians. Shame." Apparently he also had some understanding of what happened online before.

Xu Yun could only express regret when he heard the words, anyway, after this time, the reputation of the other party was at least bad in the world.

The time soon came to noon, and as various reports and interviews were released by news media from various countries, discussions on the entire Internet about this year's Fields Medal winners suddenly increased.
