After dealing with matters related to the NS equation, Xu Chuan also reappeared in the office.
"Professor, you're out!" Gu Bing shouted in surprise after seeing his tutor in the office.
Xu Chuan nodded and said hello to the two students.
On the side, Amelia asked excitedly: "Professor, you proved the NS equation this time. Will the International Mathematical Union award you another Fields Medal?"
Hearing this, Xu Chuan was stunned for a moment.
To be honest, he hadn't really thought about this.
But to be honest, this doesn’t seem impossible?
The Fields Medal is selected by the Executive Committee of the League of Nations. The selection criteria are very strict. Only those who have outstanding breakthrough results in a certain field of mathematics are eligible to receive the award. There are strict regulations that the winner must be under the age of forty.
.
Because one of its main purposes is to encourage young scholars to reach new heights.
Although it is true that no one in history has been able to win the Fields Medal twice, the Fields Medal does not seem to explicitly stipulate that a person cannot win it twice?
He previously won the Fields Medal for solving the Hodge conjecture. This year he solved the NS equation. Maybe he will really have a chance to win another one?
However, this is not certain. After all, the nature of the Fields Medal and the Nobel Prize are somewhat different.
The Nobel Prize is awarded to achievements. As long as you contribute enough, you can win it twice.
The Fields Medal is awarded to individuals, which is a bit like a lifetime achievement award like the Wolf Medal. It is given once and then not given.
Originally, Xu Chuan had never thought about winning the Philippines Award for the second time, but when Amelia asked him this question, he became a little curious.
After all, the two millennium problems are quite important to the mathematics community.
He was also a little curious about how the International Mathematical Union would handle it.
If he were awarded a second medal, it would break the rules of history.
If it is not awarded, I am afraid that no other mathematical achievements can beat the NS equation.
More importantly, if awarded this time, he still has one of the seven major millennium problems of "Yang Mills' existence and quality gap", which is the result of his previous life.
If I get it this time, I will definitely win another Philippine award in the future.
After all, he is only twenty-four years old this year. It takes four years to hold one mathematics conference, and it will only take eight years to wait for two more. He was not even forty at that time.
Three Fields Medals for one person, this is too scary.
After thinking about it, Xu Chuan also felt that it was a bit unrealistic.
After chatting with the two students for a while, Xu Chuan turned on the computer in the office and processed the emails and things of the past two days.
After a while, there was a knock on the office door.
Xu Chuan called out to come in, and in came Cai Peng, who was carrying a schoolbag.
"Congratulations, professor, for solving another century-old problem." Cai Peng congratulated with a smile.
Seeing Cai Peng, Xu Chuan realized that he had left a few test questions for him before. He was originally given three days to complete them, but he forgot about them later because of the NS equation.
Smiling, he said: "It's just a paper. It hasn't been peer-reviewed and nothing has been decided yet."
"Where's the question I gave you last time? Have you finished it? Show it to me."
Hearing this, Cai Peng quickly turned around his backpack from behind, took out a piece of manuscript paper and handed it over, saying with some embarrassment:
"Well, Professor, I only solved three questions in three days, and two of them were solved later. I separated them. The top ones are the first three questions, and the bottom ones are the back ones."
Xu Chuan took the manuscript paper and said, "Let me take a look first."
To be honest, he quite liked Cai Peng's self-confession.
After all, more than a month has passed and he has not checked. Cai Peng can definitely say that he solved all five questions in three days. No one knows whether it is true or false.
At least in terms of academic honesty, it seems that he has passed it so far.
Turning over the manuscript paper in his hand, Xu Chuan looked at the answers of his former senior brother and put down the answer sheet within a moment.
He raised his head, looked at Cai Peng with a smile, and said, "It's not bad. Congratulations on passing the assessment."
For him, looking at the answers is not simply a test of Cai Peng's knowledge, but also his relevant ideas for solving the problem and whether he has anything of his own.
For him, these can basically be seen at a glance.
There is indeed nothing wrong with what Professor Zhou Hai said before. After going through the second proposal, Cai Peng’s talent in mathematics seems to have been opened up. At least in the field of differential equations, he has begun to have his own unique skills.
ideas.
Hearing this, Cai Peng suppressed his excitement and clenched his fists tightly to appear calmer: "Thank you, Professor!"
Xu Chuan smiled and said, "No need to thank me, this is an opportunity you earned yourself."
"In addition, it is not easy to study with me. If you want to complete your studies from me, you will need at least one research paper from SCI Area 1."
Cai Peng nodded vigorously and said, "I will work hard!"
Xu Chuan smiled and said: "Come on."
After a pause, he shouted to the other two students in the office: "Gu Bing, Amelia, come here."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Bing and Amelia ran over quickly, each of them slapped Cai Peng on the shoulder.
"Congratulations, Junior Brother Cai!"
"pretty!"
Seeing this, Xu Chuan touched his chin and said with a smile, "When did your relationship become so good?"
Amelia smiled and said: "Junior Brother Cai has been coming here every day for the past month, so he naturally becomes familiar with it."
Xu Chuan smiled and didn't pay much attention to it. He guessed that it was not just coming here every day, but it seemed like there was something else.
But it doesn't matter, as long as academic knowledge and academic honesty pass the test.
"Okay, as long as you guys get along." Xu Chuan said with a smile: "Cai Peng, find a seat by yourself. Your direction is differential equations. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me directly. If I'm not here, you can first
Find Gu Bing, he should be able to teach you something."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "In addition, regarding student status, I will take you to the Academic Affairs Office to deal with it when I find a time."
"Good professor."
Cai Peng responded, found a seat and sat down.
In academia, it is normal and traditional for a senior to lead a junior.
After all, professors at the doctoral level often have their own research in hand, and sometimes they often stay in the laboratory for months when they are busy.
At this time, it is normal for the senior brother to impart some basic knowledge to the junior students who have just started and answer some questions on behalf of the tutor.
After handling Cai Peng's affairs, Xu Chuan was just about to go back to handle his own matters when he heard Gu Bing shout hesitantly.
"professor."
Xu Chuan turned his head and glanced at Gu Bing. Seeing his troubled face, he asked curiously: "What's wrong? If you have anything to say, just tell me."
After hesitating for a moment, Gu Bing finally said, "Professor, would you like to read a recent foreign media report that smeared you?"
Hearing this, Xu Chuan was stunned for a moment and asked: "Smear me?"
"Yeah. About the NS equation."
"Oh? Where's the news? Send me the link." Xu Chuan asked with interest.
To be honest, he really couldn't think of anything to blame about him. As for the NS equation, could someone point out the problem in his paper?
If that was the case, he would want to watch it even more.
"Sent to you, professor." Gu Bing picked up the phone and sent the news link to Xu Chuan.
To be honest, this kind of thing shouldn't be done
"Thank you." Xu Chuan thanked him, opened the paper and started reading.
But as soon as the news link opened, he frowned slightly.
Because the reporter of the news media is a notorious media.
The Washington Times was founded in 1982 by a Korean-American leader named Moon Sun-myung. It has always been the most crooked group in the journalism world.
Especially for Chinese and Chinese scholars, it can be said that there is basically nothing good to do every time they log in to this newspaper.
But he wanted to see what this newspaper said about him, or what it said about him.
After all, he has nothing to be ashamed of, whether academically or personally.
