From a university student to a chief academician

Chapter 199 Obtaining the Favor of a Fields Medal Winner

October 2028, 7!
In the evening, Ye Fei landed in Xiangjiang by plane.

He was accompanied by two of his students.

The Shaw Prize is an international award, and the participating scholars are all internationally renowned scholars.

Therefore, while accepting the award, Ye Fei took his two students out to see the world.

"Professor Ye!" Ye Fei just got out of the airport when he heard someone calling him.

Ye Fei turned his head and saw a short middle-aged man in short sleeves standing not far away.

Ye Fei took his two students and greeted him with a smile, and said, "Director Ma, I haven't seen you for many years, hello!"

Director Ma was the same Director Ma who entertained Ye Fei when he went to Xiangjiang University of Science and Technology.

With that said, the two approached and shook hands eagerly.

After letting go, Director Ma smiled and said, "Professor Ye, today is different. I can hear many legendary rumors about you in Xiangjiang."

"You are no longer an ordinary professor today!"

Director Ma was filled with emotions. In just a few years, Ye Fei has grown into a well-known scholar in the Xia Kingdom with development in many fields.

Ye Fei shook his head amusedly and said, "Director Ma, don't entertain me anymore, I'm still me, an ordinary scholar."

Director Ma laughed and said: "If you are still an ordinary scholar, all scholars in this world will be ordinary scholars."

Ye Fei looked to the left and right, and there were people coming and going all around, and they were standing at the exit.

Ye Fei said: "Let's stop bragging about each other in this business, let's go!"

"Okay!" Director Ma nodded: "Please!"

After speaking, Director Ma led Ye Fei and the others to the parking lot.

After that, he got into a bright black commercial vehicle, and the driver drove to the hotel.

After getting in the car, Ye Fei introduced his two students to Director Ma.

Director Ma looked at Ye Fei's two students, and said with a smile: "You must have something special to become Professor Ye's students!"

The two lowered their heads shyly, and Lin Yi said embarrassingly, "Nothing, we are very ordinary."

After speaking, looking at Wang Yuan, Wang Yuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Yes, we are very ordinary."

Ye Fei nodded and thought, "That's right, be honest."

Although Wang Yuan and Lin Yi have good math talents.

But it is only good among ordinary people, and there is still a certain gap compared with mathematical geniuses.

Ye Fei predicted that it would be impossible for these two people to become internationally renowned scholars in the future.

But it is possible to become a well-known scholar in the Xia Kingdom.

Director Ma looked at Ye Fei and said with a smile, "Your students are very low-key just like you!"

Lin Yi said again: "It's just that the mentor has a discerning eye and found us among a group of outstanding people."

After finishing speaking, looking at Wang Yuan, Wang Yuan nodded and said, "That's right, it was the mentor who found us among a group of outstanding people."

Director Ma's expression froze, he looked at Ye Fei embarrassingly and said, "You two students have really interesting personalities, haha..."

"Haha..." Ye Fei smiled awkwardly, then glared at Wang Yuan and Lin Yi secretly.

Wang Yuan and Lin Yi lowered their heads slightly and smiled embarrassedly.

Afterwards, Ye Fei chatted with Director Ma about some gossip.

Both of them are in the academic circle, so naturally they are talking about the academic circle.

Although in terms of status, Ye Fei's current status in the academic circle is much higher than that of Director Ma.

However, Director Ma has stayed in Xiangjiang for many years. As the most advanced city in the Xia Kingdom, all walks of life and fields are in line with international standards.

Therefore, Director Ma knows much more about the international academic community than Ye Fei does.

Director Ma said: "I've heard about the Web3.0 you developed, but I heard that Beili Country is also investing a lot of money in the research and development of Web3.0."

"Professors from many top universities around the world, as well as top scholars in the field of mathematics and computer science, have been invited by Beili Country to do research."

"Even some Fields Medal winners and Turing Award winners were invited over."

"The investment alone is more than 500 billion US dollars, which is equivalent to the index finger of a large international listed company."

"Now it seems that Beili Country is very determined to develop Web 3.0."

"And you said at the press conference that Web 3.0 will be developed by the end of December this year. Are you confident that Web 3.0 will be developed before North Li Country develops Web 3.0?"

Ye Fei nodded and said, "Of course, money is very important to scientific research, and talents are also very important."

"But it doesn't mean that the more money you invest and the more talents you have, the more successful the research and development will be."

"If this is the case, my country's research and development of low-nanometer lithography machines will not be developed for so long."

"Is Xia Guo short of money?"

"No shortage!"

"Is there a shortage of talents?"

"No shortage."

"So, for scientific research, although money and talents are closely related, the success of scientific research is not determined by money and people alone."

"En!" Director Ma nodded and said, "I agree with what you said."

Director Ma suddenly said seriously: "I just want to know, can you really develop Web3.0 by the end of December?"

"Don't lie to me, I'm not asking on behalf of myself, I'm asking on behalf of many people in the Xiangjiang academic circle."

"They're all very concerned about it."

In the past, Xiangjiang, Bay Province, Koryo, and Xinguo were the Four Asian Tigers.

But now, Xiaguo Continent is the only dragon in Asia, and the rest of the countries are younger brothers, relying on Xiaguo Continent for development.

Therefore, Xiangjiang has always been concerned about Xia Guo mainland.

Any disturbance in the mainland will attract Xiangjiang's attention.

Not only the academic circles are paying attention, but all walks of life and fields in Xiangjiang are paying attention.

And such a big event as Web3.0 is a big event that can change the living habits of the entire earth.

Naturally, Xiangjiang is very concerned.

Ye Fei looked at Director Ma's serious expression, and he also said seriously: "Director Ma, I sincerely tell you that this is true, and we will definitely develop Web3.0 by the end of December."

"It was originally planned to start Web 3.0 this month, but because V God left, one of the four core technologies of the blockchain was missing."

"This will lead to the inability to open Web3.0, and now we have found a way to replace V God's blockchain system."

"And, the main research has been successfully researched, and it will definitely be successful in November this year, and Web3.0 will be launched in December."

When Director Ma heard this, he was more than half relieved.

Since Ye Fei said so, it means that Web3.0 will definitely be successfully developed by the end of December.

As a native of Xiangjiang and a native of Xia, Director Ma naturally hopes that Web 3.0 will be launched in Xia, and he doesn't want the conspiracy of Beili to succeed.

The mainland of Xia Kingdom is good, and Xiangjiang is good!

When the country is strong, the people are strong!

As a member of the Xia Kingdom, he certainly hopes that the country will become stronger and stronger.

Director Ma smiled and said, "So I'm relieved, Professor Ye, I hope you can develop Web 3.0 as soon as possible, and hope that Web 3.0 will be released in Xiaguo."

Ye Fei smiled confidently: "I will definitely."

While talking, the car drove into a hotel.

Ye Fei got out of the car and pulled the suitcase into the hotel to check in.

This hotel is arranged by the Shaw Prize Council.

All those who attended the Shaw Awards Ceremony stayed in this hotel.

After completing the check-in procedures, Director Ma said: "I won't go up, I have time to come to Xiangjiang University of Science and Technology for a sit-down. After all, you are also a visiting professor of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology."

When Director Ma heard that Ye Fei came to Xiangjiang, he specially sent Ye Fei to the hotel and talked with Ye Fei about something.

Ye Fei smiled and said, "Okay!"

After Director Ma left, Ye Fei took the elevator upstairs with his luggage.

After putting down the luggage, Ye Fei wandered around the hotel.

This is a five-star hotel with a gym, swimming pool, bar, KTV, restaurant, coffee shop...

There are also very luxurious hotels throughout Xiangjiang, and it costs about 3000 yuan to stay a night.

The entire hotel has been contracted by the Shaw Prize Council and provided for those attending the Shaw Prize presentation ceremony to stay, each with a room.

One can imagine that the Shaw Prize Council has a lot of money.

Almost all of the hotel is filled with scholars from all over the world.

Corridors, halls, bars, swimming pools, gyms...

There are many scholars gathered to communicate with each other. Ye Fei went to the side to listen. If he heard those who were interested, he would stop and talk with them. If he was not interested, he would leave after listening for a while.

Today and tomorrow are not the Shaw Prize presentation ceremony, the Shaw Prize presentation ceremony will be the day after tomorrow.

Therefore, Ye Fei spent two days exchanging mathematics with others.

In the cafe!

Ye Feizheng was sitting and chatting with several people. The crowd was headed by a German mathematician, and the rest were all top or well-known international mathematicians. Ye Fei sat aside and listened.

The German mathematician was Gerd Faltings, the winner of the Fields Medal, and he was 32 years old when he won the award.

Looking at the Fields Medal winners, most of them are in their 30s, and very few are in their 20s.

Those in their 20s who won awards are also 28 or nine years old.

Gold is also a Shaw Laureate in Mathematical Sciences.

Gold was awarded the Fields Medal in 1986 and the Shaw Prize in Mathematical Sciences in 2015.

This does not mean that the Shaw Prize in Mathematical Sciences is more important than the Fields Medal.

It is because the Shaw Prize was established in 2002, and the first Shaw Prize presentation ceremony was held in 2004.

Moreover, Gerd did not have a well-known research later. It was not until 2015 that he was awarded for the implementation and development of the basic tools of number theory, allowing them and others to solve long-standing classic mathematical problems.

Gerd mainly studies number theory, such as the Model conjecture in number theory, the parameter space of Abelian varieties, the Riemann theorem of arithmetic surfaces, and Padic Hodge theory.

Gerd is explaining Riemann's theorem of arithmetic surfaces to everyone at the moment.

Ye Fei is studying the quantum layer conjecture, which is the basic problem of Riemannian geometry.

Naturally, a large number of Riemann's theorems are required.

And what Gerd explained at this moment is very helpful to Ye Fei's research.

Gerd said: "Using the Weierstrass function point, we prove the compact Riemann surface with genus g>1..."

Gerd talked eloquently, and the people around him listened very carefully.

Gerd said: "Through the determinant theorem of the Weierstrass function, we know that not every point is a Weierstrass function point."

"I am now working on Weierstrass functions on the compact Riemann surface M."

"I am looking for a suitable concept to study the upper and lower bounds of the number of Weierstrass function points."

Everyone nodded and admired in their hearts.

As expected of the winner of the Fields Medal, if the upper and lower bounds of the number of Weierstrass function points are proved, then the genus on the compact Riemann surface can be proved.

Finally, a compact Riemann surface is proved.

If the compact Riemann surface is proved, the Riemann Hypothesis can be further proved.

Of course, the proof of the compact Riemann surface is far from the proof of the Riemann conjecture.

However, if you don’t accumulate steps, you won’t be able to travel thousands of miles; if you don’t accumulate small streams, you won’t be able to form rivers and seas.

As the most difficult conjecture among the seven conjectures of mathematics, it is not possible to solve the Riemann conjecture by one person alone.

It requires the efforts of the entire mathematical community to prove the Riemann Hypothesis.

Ye Feidao: "Use the concept of qth order holomorphic differentiation!"

"Huh?" Everyone looked at Ye Fei in surprise.

A North American mathematician frowned at Ye Fei and said dissatisfiedly, "What do you know? Can you understand Professor Gerd's mathematical research?"

Ye Fei was the one who proved the lowest level of mathematics among all the people present, and also the person with the lowest status as a mathematician.

All the people present are internationally renowned or top mathematicians who have won international mathematics awards.

However, Ye Fei is not an internationally renowned mathematician, nor has he ever won an international mathematics award.

Of course, these are not the main reasons why the Beili mathematician reprimanded Ye Fei.

The main reason is that the relationship between Ye Fei and Beili is very bad, and most of the scholars of Beili are very dissatisfied with Ye Fei.

Ye Fei ignored the North American mathematician, but looked at Gerd and said, "Professor Gerd, if you introduce the qth-order holomorphic differential, you should be able to prove that the number of Weierstrass function points is Let's go up and down!"

Gerd frowned in thought, and everyone watched Gerd frowned in thought, but they didn't bother.

After a long time, Gerd's expression moved slightly, and a hint of interest flashed in his eyes, as if what Ye Fei said was right, the introduction of q-th order holomorphic differential can indeed prove the upper and lower bounds of the number of Weierstrass function points.

Gerd looked at Ye Fei and said, "Tell me carefully."

The mathematician from Beili country moved his lips when he heard Gerd's words, he hesitated to speak, but finally didn't say anything, but just glanced at Ye Fei angrily.

The rest of the people were attracted by the conversation between the two, and did not notice the expression of the mathematician in Beili Country.

Even if they pay attention, they won't pay attention.

They only pay attention to mathematics, they don't pay attention to straight/upright things.

Ye Fei stood up and changed places with a mathematician so that he was in the middle of the crowd.

Ye Fei picked up the pen and paper on the table in front of him, and wrote down the calculation process on it.

After finishing writing, Ye Fei said: "Assume M is a Riemann surface..."

Following Ye Fei's explanation, Gerd's eyes became brighter and brighter.

After Ye Fei finished speaking, he said excitedly, "That's right, that's exactly how it should be explained."

"Introducing the concept of qth-order total differentiation, the holomorphic function g can be obtained, so that..."

After finishing speaking, Gerd looked at Ye Fei with bright eyes, Ye Fei was a little uncomfortable being looked at by him, and there was a shy smile on his face.

Gerd said excitedly: "Your name is Ye..."

Gerd knew Ye Fei, but people from the Xia Kingdom always had strange names. He only knew what Ye Fei was called Ye Fei, but he forgot the exact name.

"Ye Fei!"

"Yes!" Gerd said with a smile: "Your name is Ye Fei. Thank you very much for the ideas you provided me. I owe you a favor. Let's leave a contact information for each other!"

"Without violating morality and the bottom line, I promise to help you with mathematics once."

Ye Fei quickly shook his head and said, "Professor Gerd, no need, I also came up with a whim after listening to your explanation."

Many people around were listening to Gerd's mathematics explanation, and everyone's thoughts followed Gerd's, and naturally they had many inspirations.

Ye Fei just absorbed everyone's inspiration, and finally found the most correct method for Gerd to solve the problem.

Therefore, when Gerd said that he owed him a favor, Ye Fei was very sorry.

Gerd said seriously: "I don't want to owe you anything."

Seeing his serious expression, Ye Fei sighed helplessly.

Ye Fei has long heard that Germans are the most rigid, but they are also the most rigorous in their work, so don’t lie to me!

The rest of the people looked at Ye Fei enviously, but the Beili native was envious and jealous.

This is the favor of Fields Medal winner Gerd!

Ordinary people can't get what they want!
Instead, Ye Fei wanted to push out the favor.

I'm so hungry, I'm so overwhelmed.

Ye Fei nodded and said, "Okay!"

After speaking, Ye Fei took out his mobile phone and exchanged contact information with Gerd.

Then they continued to communicate, but everyone paid more attention to Ye Fei to see if Ye Fei had any good suggestions.

But Ye Fei lived up to expectations and could always give some correct insights.

This surprised everyone.

Unexpectedly, at such a young age, Ye Fei is so talented and insightful in mathematics, and can always come up with very clever ways to solve math problems.

Gerd also nodded slightly, thinking: "A young mathematician with great potential, I don't know if he will be able to compete for the Fields Medal in the future."

"If you can get the Fields Medal, then we can compete with each other."

Mathematicians are divided into many grades, and Fields Medal winners are one grade and the highest grade.

Winners of the Wolf Prize in Mathematics belong to the second category, and winners of the Gauss Prize, Chern Prize, Nevanlinner Prize and Abel Prize belong to the third category.

The Caraford Prize belongs to the fourth category, and the Shaw Prize in Mathematical Sciences belongs to the fifth category.

The remaining mathematicians who have not won international awards are in the sixth grade.

Of course, the ability of mathematicians is also different between each grade.

Even the winners of the Fields Medal can be divided into strengths and weaknesses.

For example, Terence Tao is relatively strong among the winners of the Fields Medal.

And Qiu Chengtong is also the winner of the Fields Medal, he is stronger than Tao Zhexuan.

Tao Terence is known as the Mozart of the mathematics world, and Yau Shing-tong is known as the Caesar of the mathematics world.

It's just that Tao Zhexuan is still very young, while Qiu Chengtong is already old.

In terms of potential, Tao Zhexuan is higher than Qiu Chengtong.

And Qiu Chengtong has more experience than Tao Zhexuan.

At night, Ye Fei returned to his room and recorded all his thoughts on the computer.

After a long time, Ye Feixin said: "From the two days' lectures, it is of great help to my research on the quantum layer conjecture."

"With this kind of research progress, the quantum layer conjecture will probably be proved in September."

"After the quantum layer conjecture was proved, I published the paper immediately."

"Strive to pass the thesis by the end of September."

"In this way, I will be selected for the selection of academicians."

Ye Fei is full of expectations for the selection of academicians.

In Xia Guo, there are many things that only academicians are qualified to do.

"As long as I am selected as an academician, I can preside over some major research."

"Without becoming an academician, many things are always tied."

The major research mentioned here, such as nuclear fusion.

If Ye Fei is not an academician, it is impossible to preside over the research and development of nuclear fusion.

The title of academician is not important, what is important is status and power.

This can do more things.

Nuclear fusion is not like Web3.0.

Web3.0 is because Ye Fei developed asymmetric encryption, and developed it from scratch, so the state asked him to develop Web3.0.

However, the country has been developing nuclear fusion projects and has achieved certain results.

Then the research and development of nuclear fusion was not created by Ye Fei from scratch, but let him preside over it halfway.

At this time, you must be an academician, otherwise the country will not be at ease, and those who participate in nuclear fusion research and development will also have objections.

Ye Feixin said: "Academician, the title that all scholars dream of."

"But this is just an important first step in my academic career, and there is still a long way to go."

Ye Fei has a clear plan for his future. Academician is the first step, followed by winning many international awards.

The ultimate goal is to prove the seven conjectures of mathematics.

"Of course, whether it can be proved or not is still unknown!"
