From a university student to a chief academician

Chapter 15 Proving Singular Cardinal Numbers
Zhuang Nan and others entered the dormitory and saw Ye Fei busy at the desk.

The three of them looked at Ye Fei in astonishment, and Zhuang Nan asked, "Ye Fei, aren't you a Ph. Room with refrigerator, microwave, bathroom."

Ye Fei said without looking back: "The dean said he would arrange a single apartment for me, but I felt too lonely living alone, so I didn't change it."

The expressions of the three of them stiffened instantly, single apartment?This environment is too good!

Xu Tian asked, "Is it the single apartment in the neighborhood next to the school?"

The community next door to the school is built by the school and is dedicated to the teachers of the school.

The environment is beautiful, the facilities are sound, and the decoration is atmospheric.

It's cheap to rent or buy.

"Yes!" Ye Fei said.

The three of them were envious, this salary was much better than doctoral students, it was equivalent to the salary of school teachers.

My heart was pierced again!
The air was full of heavy silence, and Zhuang Nan felt that it was time to break the silence. He walked behind Ye Fei and asked, "Ye Fei, what are you up to?"

The other two breathed a sigh of relief.

It feels really uncomfortable to have a super academic by my side.

The topics are not integrated into one piece, and they are often pierced.

Ye Feidao: "I thought of the idea of ​​proof of singular cardinal numbers, and wrote it into a paper, ready to publish."

"What?" The three looked at Ye Fei and asked in surprise.

Zhuang Nan couldn't believe it: "You mean to prove the singular base?"

"Yes!" Ye Fei said.

Zhou Lin laughed dryly: "Ye Fei, you can't be bragging!"

Ye Fei stopped what he was doing, turned to look at him, and said, "Just treat me as a braggart!"

He knew that it was hard to believe. After all, this was a 149-year-old problem. If someone claimed to have proved the singular cardinality, few people would believe it before the paper was approved.

Since the three of Zhuang Nan didn't believe it, Ye Fei couldn't help it. After the thesis was finished and passed the review, they naturally believed it.

Facts speak louder than words!

"Huh..." The three of Zhuang Nan let out a long breath.

Now there is a big gap between them and Ye Fei. If Ye Fei proves the singular base again, it will appear that they are useless.

"Ding..." At this time, a text message came from Ye Fei's phone, and he picked it up to take a look.

It was the thesis bonus issued to him by the school's Academic Affairs Office. Four SCI District [-] papers, one [-] yuan, a total of [-] yuan.

When he published his first paper on solving the method, he didn't go to the Academic Affairs Office to collect the money. He wanted to wait for all four papers to be published and get the approval email before going to collect the money.

It just so happened that the fourth paper was approved by email yesterday, and he took the four emails to collect the money.

After the inspection by the Academic Affairs Office, the financial officer will send the money, and the financial officer will send the money when he goes to work today.

Zhuang Nan also saw the text message, and said with a smile, "Ye Fei, you're rich, who will call you [-]."

"School!" Ye Fei said, "All four of my papers have entered SCI Zone [-]. Isn't the school rewarding me? One paper was [-], and I was given [-]."

The three of them bowed their heads silently, damn it, it's hard to guard against the pricking of the heart.

Ye Fei is a top student, and we are tuition fees.

Ye Fei came to school to make money, and we came to school to spend money.

But it's so cool to think about the wool of the school!

After all, in the past, schools collected money from students, and very few students collected school money.

But if you want to collect money from the school, you also need to look at your strength, and we can't do it.

Zhuang Nan laughed and said, "Hehe...Well, I haven't come to school for a long time, I'm going to say hello to my classmates."

Zhou Lindao: "I don't know how the quality of this year's school girls is. I haven't gone to see them yet. Xu Tian, ​​let's go together!"

Xu Tian said: "OK, let's go together!"

The three left the dormitory together, facing Ye Fei, they felt that sooner or later they would be stabbed to death.

Ye Fei looked at the backs of the three leaving, and sighed, he should go to the library to study in the future, it seems a bit intrusive in the dormitory.

Originally, he planned to go to the library to study after his roommate came, but he forgot that today is the time to enter school.

One month later, the library!
Ye Fei took a long breath and looked at the paper he had just finished writing.

The thesis consists of 54 pages and more than [-] words.

After spending another week and checking and revising the paper several times, Ye Fei posted the paper on Arxiv.

Soon, it attracted countless people to watch.

But after that, many people thought that Ye Fei was crazy to prove the singular base.

This is a singular base, a 149-year unsolved problem.

Although Ye Fei proved the singular base and four solutions in the past three months, no one believed that he could prove the singular base.

On Stack Exchange, many people ridiculed Ye Fei.

"I don't know if Ye Fei's behavior is naive or arrogant, but I still give him a thumbs up for his courage."

"Hehe... A young boy actually went to prove the singular base. He thought he was Tao Zhexuan!"

"That's right, Tao Zhexuan is only born in a hundred years, not everyone is Tao Zhexuan."

"He's been dazzled by past victories and thinks he can prove singular bases too."

"What if he does prove successful?"

"Do you think it's possible? Let Ye Fei prove success without solving the problem for 149 years? You know, he is only 22 years old, and he hasn't even graduated with a Ph.D. He can succeed unless he is God."

"..."

Regardless of whether everyone thinks that Ye Fei can prove success, many people still study Ye Fei's thesis.

But most of them can't understand it, and those who can understand it know what it is and don't know what it is.

Those who knew it hadn't spoken yet.

Because they are still studying Ye Fei's thesis.

Papers are long and they take a long time to research.

Dormitory, eight o'clock in the evening!
The three of Zhuang Nan sat at their respective desks, staring at Ye Fei who walked in.

Ye Fei was uncomfortable being stared at by them, touched his face and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Zhuang Nandao: "Are you really proving the singular base?"

Just last evening self-study, he browsed Arxiv with his computer and saw that Ye Fei had published a new paper, and found that it turned out to be a paper proving a singular cardinality.

He remembered that Ye Fei said at the beginning of school that he was writing a thesis proving singular cardinality.

I thought it was a joke at the time, but I didn't expect it to be true.

"That's right!" Ye Fei entered the dormitory and put the schoolbag on the desk.

"Bull!" The three of Zhuang Nan gave Ye Fei a thumbs up.

They praised Ye Fei's behavior, and normal people would not think about proving the singular base.

After all, it is a 149-year unsolved problem.

Even many mathematicians would not try it because it is too difficult.

Of course, they didn't think that Ye Fei could prove success.

"Ye Fei!" Professor Lu appeared at the door of the dormitory.

"Mentor!" The four quickly stood up.

Professor Lu walked in, stared at Ye Fei and asked, "Did you write a paper proving the singular cardinality?"

"Yes." Ye Fei nodded.

"Can it be successful?"

Ye Fei thought for a while and said, "50%!"

In fact, it is 100%, but the words cannot be too full.

Don't be afraid of [-], just in case, if you fail the review and say it is too full, then you will slap yourself in the face.

Professor Lu said: "That's pretty good too. Although singular cardinal numbers are difficult, you can try it."

"It doesn't matter if you fail. Even if you fail, don't be discouraged. The last thing you are afraid of in academia is failure. Many people learn from failure."

"Failure is the mother of success. If you fail this time, you will succeed in the future."

Professor Lu came here firstly to confirm this matter, secondly, to encourage Ye Fei, and thirdly, because he was afraid that Ye Fei would be discouraged if he failed, so he came to enlighten him.

Ye Fei said: "Teacher, I know."

"Yes!" Professor Lu nodded, "I'm leaving."

After another few days of revising the paper, Ye Fei began to consider which journal to submit to.

This time, he will not vote for International Mathematical Analysis.

After all, this paper is to prove that the singular cardinality exceeds all previous papers in importance.

The International Mathematical Analysis is only a journal with an impact factor of 13, so this time he plans to submit a paper to the four top journals in mathematics.

Four top journals in mathematics, Mathematics Annals, Mathematics New Advances, Mathematics Journal and Beili National Mathematics Society Journal.

"Submit a new development in mathematics!"

Among the four top journals, the annual journal of mathematics is the most difficult to review. It is published once a year and no more than 60 papers are published each year. The difficulty of passing the review is higher than that of nature and science.

New Advances in Mathematics, published every two months, is the most prestigious of the four top journals.

Xia Guo mathematicians submitted papers to the four top journals, and most of them were submitted for new developments in mathematics.

But in the past 61 years, only about [-] papers of Xia Guo have passed the review.

The reason why the Mathematics Annual is not considered is mainly because the publication period is long and only published once a year, while the new developments in mathematics have a short publication period and are published every two months.

Now it takes one to two months to select for new progress in mathematics. After the review is passed, the next journal can be published.

After deciding to submit to New Advances in Mathematics, Ye Fei sent the paper to the email address of the review editor of New Advances in Mathematics.
