Of course, the defense must have questions, and the questions and answers to the defense questions will also be recorded by the recorder next to you.
So in the end, several academicians turned to look at Pang Ming next to them.
You are not an academician, so you go ahead.
Pang Ming:? ? ?
But there was nothing he could do. Several academicians looked over, so he could only pick a random question and ask it.
"Okay, please tell me, on page 13 of your paper, in section 3.2, why can't ρτ be written in a similar way to the Euler density ρχ?"
Li Mu smiled slightly and answered directly without even turning over the paper: "Because the Hirzebruch density ρτ is a pseudo-scalar."
Then, he turned around and started writing on the blackboard.
【4(fi(+)+ fi(-)δab1/24R2δab……】
He almost completely records every paper he writes in his mind and has 100% mastery of it.
So he can easily answer such simple questions.
Seeing Li Mu's answer, Pang Ming nodded.
Li Mu has answered his question perfectly.
In this way, until Li Mu finished writing, he nodded and said: "That's a good answer."
Then he turned to look at the other academicians, spread his hands and said: My task is completed, it's your turn.
Several academicians shook their heads helplessly.
Well, you can't hide what you should.
Then ask too.
Therefore, the three academicians except Academician Wang Shuo randomly found a question in the paper to ask, and Li Mu also gave a perfect answer in turn, which made the three academicians couldn't help but praise. It turns out that this question can still be answered. Answer from this perspective!
That's it, until the last Academician Wang Shuo.
However, he just put the paper in his hand directly on the table, and then asked: "When did you start studying algebraic topology?"
Li Mu was stunned, not expecting Academician Wang Shuo to ask such a question.
After thinking for a while, he replied: "Well, it should be half a year."
Since the beginning of the 20th century, modern mathematics has had more and more refinement directions, so he did not study algebraic topology for long.
However, his answer still surprised everyone below, including several academicians.
After only half a year of research, you can write a paper of this level. Good guy, is there anyone so vigorous?
This is algebraic topology!
The other teachers and professors who were observing were also numb.
Academician Wang Shuo also nodded with emotion: "Very good, very good."
"Okay, that's my problem."
He waved his hand, then stood up holding on to the table: "If you ask me, sometimes this kind of defense always seems a bit formalistic, especially for a student like you. Of course, I have to be sure that this The formalism also has a certain commemorative significance.”
"So, I hope that when you continue to climb new heights in the future, you can also remember this day you spent at your alma mater."
"Congratulations, you graduated from our mathematics school."
He was the first to applaud.
The other three academicians next to him and Dean Pang Ming also stood up with a smile and applauded Li Mu.
Finally, the whole classroom burst into warm applause.
Amidst the applause, Academician Wang Shuo walked out of his seat and picked up a degree certificate from the side.
"Classmate Li Mu, from today on, you are our Bachelor of Mathematics at Shanghai Jiao Tong University."
"Thank you, Academician Wang!"
Li Mu took the degree certificate with a smile on his face.
Although it is only a second degree certificate issued by the school, it can be regarded as a memorable achievement in life.
But when he picked up the degree certificate and looked at it, he was stunned.
"Is this stamped by the Ministry of Education?"
The Ministry of Education's seal means that his second degree is officially recognized by the Ministry of Education.
Wang Shuo laughed. At this time, Dean Pang Ming also came up and said with a smile: "This is a surprise for you from our college."
"Of course, it's also due to your hard work."
"After all, a mathematical genius who proved the Hailstorm Conjecture, but his mathematics degree is not recognized by the Ministry of Education, is somewhat derelict in his duties."
Only then did Li Mu understand the reason. Although it was unexpected, it was also reasonable.
"Li Mu, congratulations."
Next to him, Lin Yao also walked up and sent his congratulations.
Looking at the people surrounding him applauding, Li Mu felt filled with emotion.
Until the end, he sincerely said to everyone: "Thank you!"
…
The defense in mathematics was over, and Li Mu finally completed half of his degree.
There is also a physics defense...
There's no rush, let's wait until he gets the physics paper out first.
Yes, he hasn't written his physics paper yet, and he has also finished all his mathematics papers in a hurry.
After completing the four papers, he started writing the mathematics paper non-stop. After all, mathematics was a second degree, so the defense was relatively early.
This is why he never submitted those four papers to journals. He didn't have the time, so he just posted them on arxiv first.
Of course, this kind of thing is not common sense to outsiders.
However, now that the first defense is completed, he can also take some time to deal with the submission issues of these four papers before writing the physics paper.
However, when Li Mu reopened his mobile phone, a call came in.
It's also a foreign phone number.
"Hello Mr. Li, I am Tom Robert, editor-in-chief of Physical Review Letters. We sincerely invite you to submit the paper "Electrodynamic Analysis of Electronic Behavior at the Interface of Two Types of Conductors" to us. We have already worked with your partner Mr. Wu After discussing this matter, he said that it is up to you to make up your mind."
Afterwards, this Robert talked about a lot of things like the conditions that Li Mu would be able to enjoy as long as he submitted his paper to them.
And Li Mu was stunned, Physical Review Express?
This is the top journal in the physics world. Just now, "Nature" invited him to contribute, and now "PRL" has also come.
As for the Mr. Wu mentioned by the other party, he is naturally Wu Mengyuan, who is also the co-first author of this paper.
Wu Mengyuan also contributed a lot to this paper, and Li Mu only provided mathematical help - of course, the role of mathematics in this paper is also very critical.
However, he still needed to think about which journal to submit to, so he asked the other party to wait until tomorrow before calling.
However, after hanging up the phone, another call came in.
"I am Eric, the editor-in-chief of "JACS"..."
Well, "JACS", the top journal in the chemistry world, is here too.
Of course, this was not over yet. The editor-in-chief of "Nature" called in again and had another discussion with Li Mu.
The editor-in-chief's tone was quite nervous, probably because he called Li Mu just now and found that the line was busy...
…
In this way, Li Mu suddenly received a bunch of submission invitations from top journals today.
Finally, after struggling with the difficulty of choosing, he made a decision.
The electrodynamics article will be submitted to "PRL", the computational chemistry article will be submitted to "JACS", and the last two articles will be submitted to "Nature".
There is no way, "nature" gives too much.
Subsequently, he signed copyright agreements with these three journals, and others had to queue for months or even a year to be published. However, Li Mu's four papers were all published in just half a month!
One topic, four top publications!
The entire academic world was once again shocked by such a generous move.
