From all-round academic master to chief scientist

With the conclusion of the closing ceremony, the 59th International Mathematical Olympiad has officially ended. Next is a day of rest at night, and then you can get on the plane back to your motherland tomorrow.

As the biggest winner, the Chinese team has already felt the enthusiasm from China even though they have not returned to China yet.

Various calls were made, as well as calls from various media outlets, hoping to conduct interviews after they returned to China.

But Lin Xiao was surprised, why didn't he receive a single call, but everyone else did?

Ouyang Sheng and Sun Yu each had their phones ringing non-stop.

It was not until later that Lin Xiao received a call from his father, Lin Guowen, that he realized that he had been bombarded by major domestic media because he won the top prize, so he had already set up call forwarding and transferred it to his father.

"Don't set up call forwarding. Your father and I only answer the phone at work. The boss said that I don't answer as many calls as I do."

Hearing his father's complaints, Lin Xiao chuckled and said, "Stop talking. My mom just sent me a message saying that you should answer the phone. Everyone who answered the phone was laughing from ear to ear."

"Your mother slandered me, your mother was slandering me!" After Lin Guowen said a few words, he also laughed. Indeed, of course he had to grin from ear to ear with joy. After hearing good words, who wouldn't be happy?

So much so that a colleague just asked him: "Old Lin, would you like to go have a drink after get off work today?"

Then he said with a surprised expression: "Huh? How did you know that my son won the gold medal in the International Mathematical Olympiad?"

His colleague looked confused: "What did you say?"

Then he said in surprise: "Huh? Do you even know that he not only won the gold medal, but also won a special award?"

Then came "same joy, same joy", "luck luck", "thank you thank you"...

As a result, everyone in his unit knew about it, and even one of their leaders angrily told him to stop and stop showing off.

Lin Xiao smiled, and then said: "Just work hard and help me pick it up for a few more days. I have been working on a paper in the past few days, which will be used at the International Congress of Mathematicians."

After hearing Lin Xiao's words, Lin Guowen certainly did not refuse and said: "Okay, then please pay attention to safety over there and call me when you return to China."

"Um."

Lin Xiao responded and then hung up the phone.

It's eight o'clock in the morning in Romania now, but it's already thirteen o'clock in China.

As for the closing ceremony, it was already yesterday.

However, he didn't sleep all night last night and kept sorting out his thesis. Finally, he finished his thesis.

"Ah~~"

Yawning deeply, Lin Xiao put up the last citation, then remembered something and added a few more sentences at the end of the text.

[Thanks here: Professor Pompieri and Professor Atler Selberg. The manuscripts of these two professors have given me a lot of help in solving this problem. I am standing on the shoulders of giants.

I would also like to thank Professor Pompieri once again, who proactively provided his and Professor Selberg’s manuscripts.

Professor Pompieri made me feel the enthusiasm of the mathematics community, and I will devote more enthusiasm to mathematics and live up to expectations. 】

After adding these few sentences, the entire report is finally completed.

In any case, Professor Pompieri also gave him a lot of help, and of course he must thank him in the text.

"Okay, I can finally send it over there."

Lin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. It was already July 14th, and tomorrow would be July 15th. Fortunately, we caught up.

Then, he opened his mailbox and found the letter IMU had sent him before. Then he entered the report submission website and uploaded his thesis report.

Then, he threw himself directly on the bed and found the most comfortable position.

3, 2, 1.

He fell asleep.

The exhausting study these days has made him extremely sleepy, and he is in urgent need of a deep sleep to replenish his energy.

As for other things, let’s wait until we wake up.

…

at the same time.

South America, Brazil, Rio de Janeiro.

Although the International Congress of Mathematicians begins in August, preparations for the conference have already begun. Each department of the International Mathematical Union is making its own relevant preparations, and the group responsible for connecting with all speakers also has Do your own work.

However, since all the reporter's affairs were basically settled, they were chatting in their free time.

"Have you finished Professor Laphroague's report?"

"It has been done a long time ago, but to be honest, Professor Laphroaig actually plans to use sea snakes to conduct research on the Langlands Programme. I read his report and it was really exciting."

One staff member sighed.

Another staff member also nodded and said: "It is indeed very exciting. Through the analysis of conformal field theory, he explored the algebraic changes of dimension 1 and non-singular addition points, and realized Langlands's solution in the reduction group. Global parameterization is very powerful. I watched it several times before I understood it, but I still have some questions. I plan to go and listen to it at the time."

"I really don't understand how those of you who studied the Langlands program did your research. I can't even understand my broken Hilbert space."

"Okay, didn't you publish a paper in Advances-in-Mathematics some time ago? I heard that the University of Sao Paulo has invited you to teach, why don't you go?"

"Let's go as soon as this conference is done."

Others couldn't help but cast envious glances.

These staff members are all young people, maybe they have just graduated from a university with a doctorate. It would be best for them if they can teach in a university. After all, they are studying mathematics, so becoming a teacher is the best way out. , otherwise you can only learn some other aspects of knowledge. After all, mathematics is a basic subject. If it is an application field, basic mathematics alone is definitely not enough, such as finance and algorithms, then you have to learn other aspects. Knowledge, of course, is also a good way out.

However, these people who were once at the top of the contempt chain of the subject would still be a little reluctant if they really wanted to learn these things.

At this time, someone asked another colleague who was responsible for the report in the field of number theory: "By the way, Tom, has that young mathematical genius from China gotten back to you? What kind of surprise does he want to give us?" ?”

Tom responded: "Don't mention it. He hasn't heard back in the past two days. Tomorrow is July 15th. I don't know if he can send it on time. I hope Professor Viana won't trouble me by then."

"Hahaha~"

The surrounding staff laughed.

I have kept everyone waiting for a long time. The update was due to the release in the early morning yesterday, and then it was restored to the 11 o'clock update. If you have other questions, you can join the group to ask. The group number is in the introduction.
