Starting from a top student and marching towards the sea of ​​stars

Chapter 82 I Give You Full Marks

Although Qiu Chengtong also felt that it was indeed too early for Ning Chen to attack Qiu Chengtong's conjecture.

But out of love for Ning Chen, Qiu Chengtong would definitely listen to all Ning Chen's thoughts first.

Hearing Qiu Chengtong's words, Ning Chen turned the PPT page backwards and began to explain seriously to the big screen.

"In the past few days of research, I have found a possible solution to the existence of Kahler-Einstein metrics in high-dimensional spaces where the first Chern class is positive."

Seeing this kind of fourth-order completely nonlinear elliptic equation on the big screen, several professors couldn't help frowning and fell into thinking.

"It turns out that as long as we solve this type of fourth-order completely nonlinear elliptic equation, the whole problem will be solved."

Qiu Chengtong was the first to understand what Ning Chen meant, nodded slightly and said.

Listening to Qiu Chengtong's explanation, several other professors gradually understood Ning Chen's thoughts.

"It is indeed a possible and feasible method. But Ning Chen, do you have any ideas about solving this equation?"

Hearing this question, Ning Chen also shook his head helplessly.

"So far, I can only establish this equation. As for how to solve it, I don't have any ideas yet."

This feeling was like a wall fell in front of Ning Chen, and Ning Chen simply didn't have the strength to push down the wall.

After listening to Ning Chen's defense, several professors began to study each other in low voices.

Speaking of which, just looking at the content of the PPT, Ning Chen is not as brilliant as the previous few.

But in terms of the research significance of the topic, Ning Chen's topic is undoubtedly in a unique position.

After discussing for a while, Qiu Chengtong said:

"I think Ning Chen's topic selection is very good, and the work he did before starting the topic is also groundbreaking. Although just looking at the PPT, it doesn't seem to have much content, but just such an equation has a high level of significance. It’s so valuable. Ning Chen, no matter how far you can achieve this topic in the future, I will give you full marks."

Hearing Qiu Chengtong's comments, Ning Chen felt very encouraged.

After finishing the opening and defense, Ning Chen returned to the dormitory.

Lin You had completed his thesis defense before Ning Chen. When Ning Chen came back, the two started chatting.

"Ning Chen, what subject did you choose?"

“The topic I chose is to study the existence problem of the Kahler-Einstein metric in high-dimensional space with the first Chen type being positive, and transform it into the stability problem of algebraic geometry.”

Ning Chen deliberately didn't mention the word "Qiu Chengtong's conjecture", but Lin You immediately heard the clue.

"Isn't this Qiu Chengtong's conjecture? Did you really choose this topic?"

"Yes, if you don't believe me, read my PPT."

As he spoke, Ning Chen showed Lin You his PPT.

Seeing the contents of the PPT, Lin You finally believed that what Ning Chen just said was true.

"Ning Chen, you are really awesome. You challenged professor Qiu's conjectures that he hadn't even solved. Hey, in comparison, my research topic is too simple."

Ning Chen also took a look at Lin You's research topic. The difficulty was similar to the two topics Ning Chen studied before. Of course, for an undergraduate, this is already very challenging.

"I really haven't found any other suitable topics, and I might not be able to do anything in the end. In fact, it doesn't matter. It's just a training camp anyway. If you can't do it, you won't be denied graduation. You can learn a lot during the training camp. That's enough stuff."

Ning Chen's mentality is still very good. What Ning Chen hopes most at the moment is to quickly accumulate experience in mathematics and see the effect after upgrading to level two.

……

In the following time, Ning Chen did not continue the research work of "Qiu Chengtong Conjecture", because Ning Chen did not have any ideas to try at present.

Ning Chen spent most of his time attending open classes and communicating with professors such as Qiu Cheng.In fact, many students wanted to discuss some issues with Qiu Chengtong alone, but Qiu Chengtong ignored them.

Because Qiu Chengtong's time is limited, Qiu Chengtong will consider communicating with students only if the questions raised by students are valuable enough.

Ning Chen is the student who is most favored by Qiu Chengtong. After all, Ning Chen's research topic was proposed by Qiu Chengtong. He can exchange a lot of his own opinions on this conjecture with Ning Chen.

This allowed Ning Chen to improve his mathematics subject experience very quickly, and also tried to avoid many detours that may be encountered in future research.

On the other hand, Ning Chen also had a lot of exchanges with other students in the training camp.

Because of Ning Chen's reputation, many students actively hoped to discuss some issues with Ning Chen. At the beginning, Ning Chen did not refuse.

However, Ning Chen later discovered that the efficiency of such communication is not high, after all, there is still a big gap between these students and the professors.

Therefore, Ning Chen had no choice but to reject invitations from many people, and only selected a few students who were able to chat with them to communicate with.

On this day, while eating, Lin You said to Ning Chen:
"Ning Chen, can I ask you a favor?"

"What's the matter, tell me."

Lin You can be said to be Ning Chen's best friend here. As long as he can help, Ning Chen will definitely not refuse.

"It's like this. I have a master's student from Yan University who also participated in this training camp. She wants to ask you some questions. Is it inconvenient for you? It doesn't matter. It's okay if it's inconvenient for you."

Lin You is the kind of character who doesn't like to trouble others, and Lin You knows that Ning Chen's current research progress is not going well, so he doesn't want to disturb Ning Chen.

If it wasn't for the good relationship between that senior sister and him, I'm afraid Lin You wouldn't even beg Ning Chen for this matter.

"What kind of questions does she want to ask?" Ning Chen asked.

"It's about the Sobolev equation, which was studied in one of your papers."

When Ning Chen heard it, wasn't this the thesis written by Tong Yicheng and himself.

"Well, no problem, she can come over whenever she has time."

Since she is Lin You's senior sister, and the question is about a subject she has studied, Ning Chen naturally has no reason to refuse.

"Thank you, I'll tell her then."

After a while, there was a knock on the door of the dormitory.

Lin You went over and opened the door, and it was his senior sister who came over.

"Sister, you are here."

Ning Chen looked up when he heard the sound and saw a girl walking in with a stack of information in her arms.

What Ning Chen didn't expect was that this girl was very beautiful. Although she didn't even wear lipstick, she still showed a good temperament.

The light blue jeans highlighted the girl's slender legs very well.

"Hello, Ning Chen, I am Song Xiyun, a first-year graduate student in the Department of Mathematics at Yenching University."

Song Xiyun briefly introduced herself, and Ning Chen quickly said:
"Hello, Senior Sister Song, please sit down."

Lin You moved his chair over, and after Song Xiyun thanked her, she sat next to Ning Chen.

"I heard that you have been very busy recently, so I asked Lin You to ask if it was convenient for me. How about it, I didn't disturb you?"

"Don't bother me. Lin You said, Senior Sister Song wants to ask a question about the Sobolev equation, right?"
