After the staff called the police, the Brazilian police rushed over quickly.
A Fields Medal winner's medal was stolen, and it was a newly awarded medal. Thirty minutes after receiving it, the medal was still warm.
This matter is not big or small.
To put it more seriously, this is a matter of losing the country's face, which shows that the country's security capabilities and public security situation are not good enough.
It was resolved as a small matter and it was just an ordinary theft incident.
Is this kind of petty theft rare in Brazil? I don’t know how many times it happens every day.
But this time it was a bit special. I stole a Fields Medal medal that had just been handed out to me at the International Mathematics Conference, and humiliated it internationally.
Although the police arrived, they were unable to catch the thief quickly.
If someone has the guts to steal your medal at the conference, they will definitely run away after stealing it.
The briefcase and empty wallet that were thrown outside are proof.
The Brazilian police came over and just went through the process and recorded the incident. As for whether they can recover the medal, mobile phone, etc., that depends on luck.
In this case, the International Mathematical Union has nothing to do. The committee members discussed it after the police report. If the medal cannot be recovered in the end, a special ceremony will be held to re-award the unfortunate winner.
Professor Coucher Birkar said with laughter and tears that if he could not be found again, he would probably be the first person in history to win the Fields Medal twice.
...
The old thing about reincarnation happened again, and Xu Chuan didn't pay much attention. After watching the excitement, he dealt with other scholars who came to talk to him and walked out of the venue.
Let's go have lunch first. He has something to do in the afternoon. Mr. Pan Deming made an appointment with him after the opening ceremony. He said he had something to discuss, but he didn't say what it was. He just said it was very important and asked him to make time for it.
Xu Chuan still admired this old man who had dedicated his life to the country, and immediately agreed to the request.
But as soon as he walked out of the venue, he was blocked again.
This time, the people blocking him were not mathematicians, astronomers, and other scholars, but the major media.
"Professor Xu Chuan, how do you feel about winning the Fields Medal at the age of twenty, breaking the world record of Professor Jean-Pierre Serre at the age of twenty-seven?"
"Professor Xu, as the first Chinese scholar to receive this honor, how do you feel at this moment?"
"Professor Xu Chuan, would you choose to return to China to serve, or will you stay in the United States, which has a better academic environment?"
"Professor Xu Chuan..."
Seeing him appear at the door, reporters waiting there swarmed him, and all kinds of microphones were almost shoved into his mouth.
Of course, he was not the only one who was blocked. There were also many reporters surrounding Schultz and Aksa Yin, but overall there were not as many as him.
On the other hand, on the side of Professor Coucher Birkar, because of the theft of the Fields Medal just now, the reporters surrounding him were on par with him.
At the International Mathematics Congress, the medal of a Fields Medal winner was stolen. This was a very hot and eye-catching matter, and it could have been reported as a headline.
Facing these crazy reporters, not only Xu Chuan had a headache, but Schultz and the others were also annoyed.
It can be said that mathematicians who can win the Fields Medal are top scholars who can concentrate on doing research. It is really irritating to face these all-pervasive reporters.
Don't look at the fact that this time his brilliance has obscured the two Fields Medal winners Aksayin and Kaucher, making them look less conspicuous.
But the mathematicians who can win the Philippine Prize are among the best in the world, let alone in one country.
As long as they want to, no matter which country or institute they go to, no one will refuse them.
If you are hired by some research institutes, an annual salary of tens of millions can be said to be the starting price.
If it is a Philippine Prize winner who takes the applied mathematics route like the previous Professor Avila Atul, it is not a problem to double or triple the annual salary.
This year's International Mathematics Congress can be held in Brazil, the southern hemisphere, because of Professor Avila Atul's great efforts.
Of course, Brazil’s local dynamic system mathematics is also very strong, which is a factor.
...
After expending effort to get rid of the reporters surrounding him, Xu Chuan breathed a sigh of relief and entered the hotel to have something to eat and catch up with his former friends.
In June and July, he did not return to Jinling, nor did he go to Nanda, missing the original agreement with Kong Zhong and others to see them off.
This time the International Mathematics Conference was held, he made a special call to the dean of the Rongzhi College of the school and asked him to help bring several friends, as well as senior Liu Jiaxin and others.
Although Kong Zhong and others are students from the Department of Physics, it is a bit strange to participate in the International Mathematics Conference, but if he asks, Dean Rong will definitely agree.
What's more, attending this International Mathematics Congress were not just traditional mathematicians, but many astronomers and astrophysicists.
It wouldn’t be a problem to bring a few students from Nanjing University here to increase their knowledge.
Xu Chuan originally wanted to pay for the travel and accommodation expenses of several friends, but NTU refused.
Air tickets and accommodation for a few people don’t cost much.
If Xu Chuan returns to China, there is a certain probability that he will return to Nanjing University to engage in research and become a professor.
A local Fields Medal winner is a professor at NTU, and NTU’s School of Mathematics is not allowed to directly go to heaven.
Rongzhi College has submitted an application to expand the School of Mathematics.
It used to be said that it was a Shuyuan, but that was a good reputation, but it was not worthy of the name.
In the past, NTU had only one mathematics department, and it could only recruit a few mathematics students, only about a hundred students a year.
But with this expansion, there will be more than one applied mathematics department. Many other mathematics departments can be added, and more students will be admitted every year.
Of course, this is also a troublesome matter, not that easy. Students, professors, qualifications, teaching environment, instruments and equipment all have to be taken care of. It will not be possible to complete it in just one or two years.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Originally, Nanjing University was not eligible to apply for the expansion of the Institute of Mathematics. After all, the qualifications were not enough, and the Institute of Mathematics had no reputation and no achievements.
But how could a monster genius like Xu Chuan win the first Chinese Fields Medal at the age of twenty? His influence was too great.
What's more, maybe he will return to Nanjing University to become a professor in the future.
The school where a Philippine Prize winner works is just a mathematics department, not a mathematics college. This is too chilling.
Thanks to Xu Chuan, Nanda was able to successfully complete the transformation of the Department of Mathematics.
Under such circumstances, how could Rong Zhizhuan let Xu Chuan pay for it himself?
...
Arriving at the restaurant organized by the International Mathematics Congress, Xu Chuan took a quick glance and saw the NTU team sitting in the most conspicuous position.
Although there is no other mathematician from NTU except him who can be invited to give a report at the mathematics conference, the number of people coming from NTU this time is no less than that from Peking University.
There were a lot of people, a dozen or so came this time.
Principal Liu Gaojun, dean Rong Zhizhuan, professor Zhou Hai, friends Kong Zhongsan, senior sister Liu Jiaxin, etc. are all among them.
】
Xu Chuan walked over with a smile on his face, and everyone quickly saw him.
"Brother Chuan!"
"Sichuan God!"
"God!"
Seeing Xu Chuan, Kong Zhong, Fan Hong, and Zhou Lin, they stood up and ran over excitedly, calling each of them one by one, making everyone present laugh.
Forget about Brother Sichuan and God Sichuan, God Sichuan has come out.
But no one has any idea. At the age of 20, he proved the Hodge conjecture and won the Fields Medal. What is he other than the God of mathematics?
Xu Chuan smiled and went up to him and called God Sichuan, punched him in the hole, and said with a smile: "God Sichuan has come out, this is too outrageous."
Kong Zhong grinned and said: "I proved the Hodge conjecture at the age of 20 and won the Fields Medal. What is this but the God of Mathematics? God of Sichuan? I am no longer worthy of you."
Xu Chuan smiled and shook his head, greeted his three friends and then came to the NTU team.
Now is not the time to reminisce about old times. The principal, leaders, and tutors of the school are all here. We need to come over and say hello first.
"Hello, Principal Liu, hello Dean Rong, hello tutor, hello Professor Zhou, senior sister, and all my classmates."
Xu Chuan didn't say hello one by one. There were too many people, so just greeting the main body once was enough.
"Awesome, twenty-year-old Fields Medal winner, Professor Xu." Chen Zhengping patted Xu Chuan on the shoulder and joked with a smile.
Although it is inevitable to win the Fields Medal after proving Hodge's conjecture, it is too exaggerated to break the historical record at the age of twenty, and even advance it by nearly two years.
Moreover, as a student, he was a half-way monk who studied mathematics, and he could always focus on physics before.
Newton and Gauss were afraid that this talent was no more than this.
Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Teacher, please stop teasing me."
"You are the glory of the school now. I can't wait to hang the banner that says you won the Philippine Award for a year and a half."
Next to him, Rong Zhizhuan, the dean of the Institute of Mathematical Sciences, also came over and said with a smile.
This time, I asked Xuchuan's deputy, he may have to move his position. You can take a look at the position of deputy principal.
"It's okay to hang up for a while, but this year and a half is a bit too exaggerated." Xu Chuan responded with a smile.
On one side, Professor Zhou Hai from the School of Mathematics said with a smile: "Exaggeration? It's not an exaggeration at all!"
"The first Chinese to win the Fields Medal, the age that broke the historical record. I have already proposed to the school that NTU is also preparing to create a Hall of Fame like Princeton. You will be the first person in the Hall of Fame."
Although Xu Chuan is a student of Chen Zhengping, he taught all the mathematics in college. Rounding up, he also has a Philippine scholarship student.
Maybe after Rong Zhizhuan moves his position, he can also compete as the dean of the academy.
Of course, if Xu Chuan returns to Nanjing University, he will definitely be given the position of dean of the School of Science if he wants it.
However, Zhou Hai estimated that Xu Chuan would not care about this. At the age of 20, his heart was probably still in academics. Taking up the position of dean of several colleges would delay his academic future.
On the side, Principal Liu Gaojun also smiled and said: "I agree with this. Fields Medal winners must enter the Hall of Fame. This is a reputation that will be passed down through the ages."
The corner of Xu Chuan's mouth twitched, he was only 20 years old.
He's in the Hall of Fame, why does this sound like a place for a bad old man?
But it doesn't matter if it's something like Princeton.
Those who can enter the Princeton Hall of Fame are either those who have won the Fields Medal or the Nobel Prize. They are all truly top scholars.
Of course, Nanjing University will definitely not be able to put together such a lineup, but if you add a Philippine Award winner to it, the level of the Hall of Fame will not be much lower.
Didn’t you see the envious tears of the Nanyang University students who came behind to make soy sauce almost flow from their saliva?
Once you enter the Hall of Fame, it will be passed down through the ages.
At least on the campus of Nanjing University, he is a deity enshrined by others.
The man in front of me, who was only twenty years old, entered directly. No, it can even be said that the NTU Hall of Fame was built because of him.
This is really enviable.
"Senior, long time no see." After greeting the school leaders with a smile, Xu Chuan took his seat.
I don't know whether it was intentional or not, but the seat next to him was senior sister Liu Jiaxin.
"Congratulations, you won the Fields Medal." The senior sister whispered as always. She was the first to see Xu Chuan coming, but she just stood up and did not run towards him like other classmates.
"Thank you, how is your application to Princeton?" Xu Chuan asked with a smile.
It's August now, and applications for next year's spring semester at Princeton can already be submitted. In another month, in September, instructors will begin to review application forms and other selected students.
"Everything has been processed and the application has been submitted." The senior sister replied softly, with excitement in her voice.
Xu Chuan smiled and said: "What about the supervisor? Have you checked out the supervisors at Princeton? If so, I will tell you. Don't worry about anything. It is very important to choose a good supervisor during your PhD. This can affect you.
lifetime."
Hearing this, Liu Jiaxin pursed her lips, looked at Xu Chuan again, and whispered: "I want to apply to be your student and study with you."
