From a university student to a chief academician

Chapter 87 The Youngest Associate Professor at Zhonghu University
Ye Fei didn't stay at home for too long. After about half a month, he returned to Zhonghu University.

He seemed to feel that he was out of tune with many people.

During the winter vacation, former high school classmates invited him to a party.

After he went there, he found that some people did not continue their graduate studies after finishing their undergraduate studies.

Some work and some get married.

Some of these people complained about the difficulty of work, while others complained that they regretted getting married.

And most of them are still in graduate school.

He has already worked, and his experience is different from those who went to school, and his psychological thoughts are different.

He works very well, so he doesn't find it difficult.

He was single, so he could not appreciate the difficulties of marriage.

Therefore, Ye Fei and all his classmates are not compatible.

"Hey..." Ye Fei shook his head in his heart and sighed, "I can't go back again."

After returning to school, Ye Fei continued to devote himself to research. He did not study in the office, but in the residence.

At this time, the teachers and students of the school are on vacation, and there are not many people in the school.

Single apartment, study room!
In the study room of about ten square meters, there is a desk and a whole row of bookshelves against the wall.

The bookshelves are full of historical and philosophical books. These books were not placed by Ye Fei, but were there when he came.

He is not interested in these books, so he doesn't read them on weekdays.

There is no computer on the desk, and Ye Fei's research materials are all placed on it.

Sunlight shines in through the windows, dust floats in the light beams, and the windows in the study are bright and clean.

Ye Fei sat slumped on the chair, staring at the ceiling above him with blank eyes.

He thought: "The following research is the Gauss conjecture in the quadratic domain."

The Gaussian conjecture in the quadratic domain requires a lot of learning and research.

What needs to be learned is Pell's equation, quadratic form and quadratic field, Dedekind function and limit formula.

Based on the learned knowledge, study the Gaussian class number conjecture, the Gaussian class number conjecture of the imaginary quadratic field and the Gaussian class number conjecture of the real quadratic field.

Each of these three studies is divided into three steps.

Gaussian class number conjectures include the zero point distribution and order estimation of the Dedekind function, the regularizer 10gε of the real quadratic field, continued fractions, and the quadratic Euclidean field.

The Gaussian number conjecture of imaginary quadratic fields is divided into a class of final determination of imaginary quadratic fields and elliptic curves and modulo forms.

Gaussian class number conjecture of real quadratic field is divided into general discussion of Gaussian class number conjecture of real quadratic field, criterion of class number l of real quadratic field, representation of class number of imaginary quadratic field by continuous fraction and Zhou La conjecture .

Ye Feixin said: "I don't need the study part, my knowledge base is enough, and I can directly enter the research."

"In fact, the Gauss conjecture is not only a mathematical research, but also an economic research."

Gaussian conjecture is a wonderful research, some mathematicians derived mathematical problems from Gaussian conjecture.

There are also economists who derive economic problems from the Gauss conjecture.

For example, the famous monopoly theory hypothesis in economics.

Therefore, when many people study Gaussian conjecture, they can win both mathematics awards and economics awards.

"The first problem studies the distribution of zeros and the estimation of the order of the Dedekind function!"

This question involves Riemann Hypothesis and Goldbach Hypothesis.

Therefore, to study this issue, we must study the previous research literature on Riemann's conjecture and Goldbach's conjecture.

With that said, Ye Fei set up tasks in the system.

[Task: Prove the zero point distribution and order estimation of the Dedekind function!
Reward: 500 points]

Ye Fei spent the whole winter vacation studying and researching.

On March 2024, 3, the school will start.

Ye Fei walked to the office early in the morning, and heard Tan Lingling chattering from a distance.

"Let me tell you, Ye Fei is amazing this time. He proved the ABC conjecture this time, causing a storm in the entire mathematics community."

"Many of my classmates, knowing that Ye Fei and I are colleagues, asked me about him."

"There are also many overseas friends who also ask me about him."

"Even my doctoral supervisor asked me about him."

"I heard from others that many people in Xia Kingdom's mathematics circle are discussing him now."

"Hey... You said he is in front of my eyes every day, why he researched the ABC conjecture without making a sound, I can't figure it out."

Passer-by A said: "Don't say you can't understand it, and I can't understand it either. You and Ye Fei work in the same office. Why is he famous and you are still unknown?"

Tan Lingling: "..."

Tan Lingling said, "Because of you."

Passerby A wondered: "What does it have to do with me?"

"Because I hang out with you every day, if you are not famous, I am not famous either."

Passerby:"……"

Passerby A said unwillingly: "You still hang out with Ye Fei every day!"

"That didn't last long with you."

Passerby:"……"

After Ye Fei heard it, he walked to the door of the office in a funny way.

At this time, several teachers from several nearby offices gathered to chat.

Ye Fei said: "Everyone, Happy New Year!"

"Ye Fei, Happy New Year!" Everyone turned to look at Ye Fei when they heard Ye Fei's voice.

"Ye Fei, congratulations on proving the ABC conjecture!" Passerby A said.

"Thank you!" Ye Fei smiled.

"Ye Fei, I heard that you saw Mochizuki Shinichi." Passer-by B asked, "How is he?"

Ye Fei said: "A very elegant person."

"I heard that you two had a close conversation?" Passerby C asked.

"Yeah!" Ye Fei said, "We purposely found a teahouse and chatted for over an hour."

The rest looked at Ye Fei enviously.

Although Mochizuki Shinichi is not the top mathematician in the world, there is a certain gap between him and those Fields Medal winners.

But Mochizuki Shinichi is also a world-class mathematician, and it is of great benefit to him to be in contact with such a big shot.

Of course, they also knew that this was Ye Fei's ability.

If you don't have the ability to contact Mochizuki Shinichi, Mochizuki Shinichi will ignore you.

Everything still depends on ability to speak.

However, even if he knew it, he couldn't hide the envy in his heart.

This is the god of learning!

If they had Ye Fei's ability, they would insist on taking a black and white photo of themselves, frame it in a photo frame, and pray three times a day.

Commonly known as worshiping God!

Ask yourself to get better and better.

"Everyone is here!" At this moment, the dean came over and smiled.

"Happy New Year, Director!" Everyone said.

"Happy New Year!" said the director.

After finishing speaking, he looked at Ye Fei and said, "Ye Fei, come with me to the principal's office!"

"What are you doing in the principal's office?" Ye Fei asked suspiciously.

He usually has almost no dealings with the principal, and the most is dealing with the dean.

"Good thing!" The director smiled mysteriously.

"Director, what's the matter?" Tan Lingling looked at him expectantly.

The director shook his head and smiled, "I can't tell you that. After Ye Fei comes back from the principal's office, you will naturally know."

He looked at Ye Fei again and said, "Let's go!"

"it is good!"

Ye Fei suppressed his doubts, and walked to the dean's office with the director.

Tan Lingling chatted gossipingly with several passers-by, A, B, C, D, what good did the principal want Ye Fei to do?
"It can't be promoted to associate professor!" said passer-by Ding.

"It's possible!" Passerby A said, "Ye Fei has already proved the ABC conjecture. If he was abroad, he would already be a full professor. It means that our Xiaguo University has a strict promotion system for professional titles, so he is only a lecturer."

"But it also depends on the ability to speak. With his current achievements, the school should promote him to associate professor no matter what."

"Yeah!" The rest of the people nodded, agreeing with Passerby A's point of view.

After Ye Fei entered the principal's office, he found that besides the principal, there was a strange middle-aged man.

At this time, this person was sitting on the sofa chatting with the principal.

Ye Fei had never seen this person at school before, so he probably wasn't a teacher at the school.

Although there are many teachers in the school, Ye Fei has been at Zhonghu University for seven years. As long as he is a teacher of Zhonghu University, he should have met all of them.

Although I can't name all of them, as long as I have seen them, I will have a little impression.

When the principal saw Ye Fei coming in, he stood up and said with a smile, "Ye Fei, here we come, please sit down."

"Hi principal!" Ye Fei said.

After speaking, sit on the sofa.

The director said: "Principal, if you talk, I will leave."

Immediately, he left the office.

The principal said: "I came to you today to talk to you about your promotion to associate professor."

Ye Fei's expression was very flat, as if he wasn't surprised at all.

He has proved the ABC conjecture, and the school should mention his title no matter what.

You know, if he goes to another university, they will help him raise his title.

In China, it is promoted to associate professor, and abroad to full professor.

"This is Director Huang of the Department of Education. Let him speak next."

Director Huang looked at Ye Fei and said with a smile: "First of all, congratulations for proving the ABC conjecture. Xiaguo needs talents like you. Do you have any opinion on your promotion to associate professor?"

"Everything depends on the arrangement of the organization." Ye Fei said.

"That's good!" Director Huang pushed a document in front of Ye Fei and said, "This is the associate professor's title contract, sign it!"

Ye Fei didn't talk nonsense. After carefully reading the contract, he picked up the pen on the table and signed it.

After Ye Fei signed the contract, Director Huang put the contract away and said, "Go back and register on the Intranet of the Education Department. From now on, you will be an associate professor."

The principal said: "Ye Fei, according to the school's regulations, associate professors are master's supervisors. There is no chance this semester. In the next semester, you have to start mentoring master's students."

If it is some non-985 universities, even if you are promoted to an associate professor, you may not be a master tutor.

However, Zhonghu University is a 985 university, and every associate professor is not incompetent.

The academic level is very high, therefore, as long as the associate professors of Zhonghu University are promoted, they will be master tutors.

When you are promoted to full professor, you will be a doctoral supervisor.

Ye Fei's ability is sufficient, so he is naturally promoted to associate professor and is a master's tutor.

"No problem!" Ye Fei said.

He doesn't care about taking graduate students, free labor, he likes it too!

"Also, after you are promoted to associate professor, your salary will also be upgraded. The school's HR will contact you after this."

"There are some conditions, you can also talk to HR."

"As long as it's not too much, the school can still consider it."

For a talent like Ye Fei, the principal naturally wanted to stay.

The School of Mathematics of Zhonghu University has always been lukewarm, and if Ye Fei is mobilized, he will be very happy.

This is good for math colleges and schools.

Of course, it is also of great benefit to him, the principal.

"it is good!"

It doesn't matter to Ye Fei, anyway, he is not short of money now.

Although not much, there are about 1000 million deposits in hand.

The money is enough for him to live on.

And he is at Zhonghu University, mainly for the convenience of research.

Of course, the better the conditions given by the school, the happier he is, and who doesn't want to earn more and more money!
After the matter was settled, Ye Fei left the principal's office.

As soon as he returned to the office, Tan Lingling and others surrounded him and asked the principal what he wanted him for.

Ye Feidao: "The principal asked me to promote my title."

Passerby A laughed loudly and said, "Let me just say, is it to promote the title, is it to be promoted to the title of associate professor?"

"Yeah!" Ye Fei said, "Yes."

Passerby B said in surprise: "A 24-year-old associate professor, the youngest associate professor in our school seems to be 30 years old, Ye Fei, you broke the record again."

"You are now the youngest associate professor at Zhonghu University."

Ye Fei was stunned for a moment. This thought seemed right. He was the youngest associate professor at Zhonghu University.

Before I knew it, I had reached the pinnacle of my life and won...

A lot of fame.

Zhonghu University is just that big, when the news spread that Ye Fei was promoted to associate professor.

Many teachers were surprised, but not particularly surprised.

Ye Fei has proved the ABC conjecture, and the promotion to associate professor seems to be a matter of course.

But many students were very surprised, that was a 24-year-old associate professor!

They were 24 years old and hadn't graduated yet, while Ye Fei had already become an associate professor.

Sure enough, the gap between people is bigger than the gap between humans and dogs.
