From all-round academic master to chief scientist

On the other side, Yuan Ya was also chatting with Xu Chen next to him.

"Have you also read his paper?" Yuan Ya asked.

"seen it already."

Xu Chen nodded.

"The future generations are terrible." Yuan Ya sighed with emotion.

Xu Chen smiled: "I am a junior to you, and Lin Xiao is also a junior to me, so you should say junior."

"Oh? Why?"

"I'm not 'awesome'."

Yuan Ya was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a smile, "You are quite humorous."

He looked back at Lin Xiao on the stage and said, "When he graduates with his Ph.D., I have to write him a letter of recommendation."

"What recommendation letter?"

"I've written everything I can. Ten thousand people, thousands of people, etc., oh, if his achievement is really successful, it should be no problem to be awarded a natural science award, right? Also, won't we have to do it next year? It’s a Chinese mathematics conference, so it shouldn’t be a problem to give him a Morningside Award.”

Xu Chen couldn't help but be stunned, and then nodded: "That's true."

Then he couldn't help but sigh: "Looking at it this way, Lin Xiao must be even better than me."

The Morningside Medal is an award from the World Congress of Chinese Mathematicians. It is awarded specifically to Chinese mathematicians, so much so that it is called the Chinese Fields Medal.

But Xu Chen has never won any of these awards.

He is only known as a Yangtze River scholar in China.

…

A few rows in front of the auditorium, Professor Pompieri, Professor Deligne, Professor Sarnak and others were sitting together, also talking in low voices.

"It's really not easy." Sanak looked at the styles on Lin Xiao's PPT. Although he had seen them before, he still couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Of course, I can already imagine the expressions of the other old guys after listening to the report." Pompieri also smiled and said, "I have to show off to them later. Lin Xiao is the winner." With my help.”

"Okay, that's Selberg."

Deligne next to him interjected.

"Sorry, I've already finished reading it, so after listening to it, you probably won't think about my expression."

At this time, an old man's head poked out from behind their seats.

The three professors turned to look, and couldn't help laughing and scolding together: "Andrew, you old guy is here too?"

"Of course I have to come. After all, I also won a Fields Medal."

"That's a Fields Award, not a Fields Medal."

"That's pretty much the same, it's all the same. At least, there are more than fifty Fields Medals in the world, but there is only one Fields Special Medal winner." The old professor said with a smile, seemingly It's quite casual.

In fact, his name is Andrew Wiles, the prover of Fermat's Last Theorem. After he proved Fermat's Last Theorem and was recognized by the mathematical community, the International Mathematical Union awarded him a Fields Medal. Special Award, because he was already 45 years old at the time and exceeded the limit of the Fields Medal. However, because the achievement of solving Fermat's Last Theorem was so important to the mathematics community, there was such an exception to the award.

At the same time, he is also a mathematician who likes to "make trouble", because when he first proved Fermat's last theorem, he did it in a dramatic way. He arranged three lectures and did not announce them in advance. topic, but people discovered that his ultimate goal was to prove Fermat's Last Theorem, so during the third lecture, the crowd immediately filled the lecture hall for the third lecture.

"However, speaking of it, you should really come and listen to this report." Deligne said with a smile: "Did you find some similarities with your original proof process?"

"Of course." Wiles nodded: "I was inspired by his use of modular forms. If I were asked to prove Fermat's last theorem again, I believe it wouldn't be like the second time, because I I have thought of a very clever way to prove the Taniyama-Shimura conjecture.”

Several other professors shook their heads,

At this time, Professor Pompieri suddenly said: "We have reached the important point."

After hearing his words, they raised their heads and looked at Lin Xiao on the stage again. At this time, Lin Xiao's steps had reached a critical point.

It is also the key step for him to succeed.

"Next we construct an auxiliary function, assuming L is a sufficiently large even number, let F(c)=L∑k=1;L∑l=1, A(kl)c^k..."

"Then continue to construct non-zero algebraic numbers, let S0=min{s|s∈N..."

"Afterwards, we can find that we have successfully found that we have successfully formalized the group G-module."

Following Lin Xiao's explanation, the confused people could only shout "666" in their hearts, while the math experts sitting in the front row couldn't help but admire in their hearts.

Being able to get to this point has shown everyone that success is inevitable.

In a more than seventy-page paper, these few steps are the most essential steps. They are also the core steps that serve as load-bearing pillars for the entire paper. It is these steps that turn what originally seemed to be irrelevant. The upper and lower parts of the content are really connected together.

"Andrew, how's it going? Is it this step that makes you feel familiar?"

In the seat below, Deligne turned his head, glanced at Wiles behind him, and joked.

Wiles nodded, then smiled and said, "However, I won't let him pass so easily."

"Oh? You want to embarrass him?"

Deligne was stunned: "Did you see something wrong? Where is it?"

Wiles smiled and shook his head: "I happen to have encountered this problem before."

"where?"

"You'll know when his report is over."

Seeing that Wiles was still showing off, Deligne shook his head, turned back, and then turned over the paper again. He wanted to know what Wiles saw as the problem. When he read the paper before, , but you didn’t find it?

However, he searched briefly and finally gave up. The little time he had now was not enough for him to find it. He could only wait for the old guy Wiles to speak out during the Q\u0026A session after the report.

Of course, this also shows how important an academic report is, because when more people read this paper, there is a greater probability of discovering tiny errors and omissions, and this is important for any more important results. , are all indispensable. Only when it passes the review of more people can such an achievement be considered a real success.

…

Time passed quickly. When Lin Xiao successfully introduced the most critical step, the following process seemed to be overwhelming. He also accelerated his speed. It was not until the 40th minute that he finally completed the entire process. Theoretical narrative.

"So far, we have successfully transformed group G into a homomorphic transformation."

"My group transformation method is now complete."

"Here, please allow me to name it."

Speaking of this, Lin Xiao said shyly: "As you can see, it is a homomorphic group transformation, so I named it Lin's group transformation method."

The people below couldn't help laughing.

There's nothing embarrassing about naming your theory.

Of course, you can also make it longer, such as called Lin's formal transformation method of homomorphic group modules, but this is a bit long.

This is just a small episode, and it’s time to draw the final conclusion.

After Lin Xiao listed the formula of Mersenne numbers, he finally obtained the distribution of Mersenne prime numbers, successfully proving the infinity of Mersenne prime numbers, and also proved Zhou's conjecture.

At this point, the talk about the thesis part is over.

Everyone below applauded in unison.

This young man deserves their applause.
