"Maybe we are really old."
Qiu Chengtong stood up at some point and gave Li Mu his applause.
Zhang Yitang next to him also sighed slightly: "Yes, you can be more confident and get rid of it."
Qiu Chengtong couldn't help but laugh and shook his head, "That's true."
"But when you get old, you get old. You are still old, but your ambitions are thousands of miles away." Zhang Yitang suddenly smiled again, and recovered from the melancholy about old age: "Li Mu gave me a poem that day, and I think it's okay. Let me tell you."
"Oh? What poem?"
"Yu Xin was the most bleak in his life, and his poems moved Jiangguan in his later years." After Zhang Yitang finished speaking, he shook his head helplessly: "However, this poem is not very suitable for you. "
After listening to it, Qiu Chengtong pondered a few sentences carefully, and then smiled and said: "I have an impression of this poem, it seems to be by Du Fu."
"I still hope to fight for the second half of the sentence."
Suddenly he asked: "By the way, do you have any ideas about Li Mu's K-mode theory?"
Zhang Yitang pondered for a moment, and then said: "It may be of great help to the topic I am studying recently."
"What is your latest research topic?"
"The Landau-Siegel zero-point conjecture." Zhang Yitang said: "Actually, I have been studying it for more than 10 years."
Qiu Chengtong showed surprise: "Have you started studying this conjecture again? I remember you published a related paper in 2007."
Zhang Yitang nodded slightly: "Things about the Riemann Hypothesis always fascinate those of us who study mathematics."
"This is natural." Qiu Chengtong nodded slightly, and then said with emotion: "Anyway, this K-mode theory may be of some help to my recent project. I will study it in depth later."
He even boldly predicted: "Perhaps, based on this theory, there will be many papers published in the four major journals of the Annals of Mathematics."
"This is natural, and I believe it." Zhang Yitang nodded.
Even if they are just getting a glimpse of this new theory now, they can still see the potential hidden in it.
It will definitely bring a certain shock to the mathematics community in the future.
Of course, in fact, the vibrations have already begun.
…
England, Wiles House.
"Hou Li Crab! Have you seen Wiles! This theory... what did you just say Li Mu named this theory?"
There was an exclamation on the phone.
"K-mode theory."
"Yes, yes, it's the K-module theory." Simon Donaldson couldn't control his voice late at night: "I originally thought that his application of non-Archimedean absolute value and divergence theory just now was very exciting. I never thought he could come up with such a brilliant theory."
"It feels like reading Dr. Schulz's graduation thesis! Even more amazing!"
Why is Schultz regarded by the mathematical community as a mathematical genius who can succeed Grothendieck?
It is because in his doctoral thesis, he proposed the theory of seemingly complete spaces, and thus developed the theory of seemingly complete geometry, fully applied geometric methods in the field of algebra, and solved mathematical problems through this method. A difficult problem in algebraic geometry.
Now, even if Simon Donaldson does not understand Chinese and does not understand what Li Mu just said in introducing this theory, he can still see that this theory is no less than this seemingly complete space theory.
Even worse.
Because both k-theory and modulus space involve a wide range of fields and have a wide range of applications. Once the two are combined, they merge from two very powerful mathematical tools into one. More powerful mathematical tools.
Just like in the game, two purple weapons are combined to become an orange weapon.
Wiles laughed heartily at this time: "Hahaha, after all, this is the student I like. It's normal to be so awesome."
Simon Donaldson said angrily: "Are you sure it was you who fell in love with him and not him? I heard from Deligne that you still used your precious pen to trick Li Mu over. of."
Wiles was stunned, because it seemed to be the case.
It wasn't that he fell in love with Li Mu, but that Li Mu fell in love with him.
Otherwise, how many mathematicians around the world would want to accept Li Mu as their student?
Of course, he simply said in the end: "So what? Who told you that none of you have that pen and only I have it? There was someone who wanted to spend two million dollars to buy my pen before, but I refused. It’s called willingness.”
Simon Donaldson was immediately stunned: "Does that mean you gave away two million dollars directly?"
"of course!"
"Well, you certainly deserve it."
Donaldson was convinced.
After all, not everyone can just give away two million dollars.
Although top mathematicians do not have any financial problems. Serving as mathematical consultants for any company can bring them huge incomes, but they are not so rich that they can give away so much money without blinking an eye. send out.
At this point Wiles yawned deeply.
"The report is over, it's time for me to go on and rest."
"It looks like I can have a good dream later."
The yawn was contagious to Donaldson, who also yawned, and then said: "When I wake up tomorrow, I can probably see the carnival in the mathematics community."
"yes."
Wiles was convinced.
The solutions to the Polignac conjecture and the Hardy-Littlewood conjecture, plus the proposal of k-module theory.
The mathematical community, of course, is going into a frenzy.
…
As they expected, as soon as Li Mu's report ended, mathematicians from all over the world entered into heated discussions.
Especially those mathematicians who came back from abroad to attend the conference received many calls from foreign colleagues asking them about the specific content of Li Mu's report.
For example, Qiu Chengtong, as one of the top mathematicians in the world, of course has a lot of top mathematician friends. There was an endless stream of people calling him asking about k-module theory.
And he basically understood a lot about Li Mu's K-module theory. He was also very pleased that such a mathematical genius could appear in China, so he took the trouble to introduce to his friends how wonderful the k-module theory was. He was very interested in mathematics. How important is the world.
And those young mathematicians who are the golden generation of Chinese mathematics have received countless calls.
"Yes, it's called K-Mode Theory... Ah, specifically? I'm sorry, I may need some time to study it, because I think there is still a lot to be explored in the content of K-Mode Theory, as Li Mu said in the report The possibilities are just the tip of the iceberg. Probably, we’d better look forward to his paper... Okay, I’m sorry.”
Yun Wei and Xu Yang looked at each other while talking on the phone, and in the end they could only sigh.
They are obviously not old yet, but they also feel a huge sense of gap from Li Mu.
It turns out that the upper limit of genius is positive infinity...
…
End of report.
All twenty blackboards were lined up on the podium.
The Polignac conjecture has become unimportant. The mathematicians who participated in the report gathered in front of the blackboards that proved the Hardy-Littlewood conjecture. They discussed with each other what Li Mu wrote on the blackboard, or took pictures or took notes. , I plan to go back and study it in depth.
These mathematicians can all see that as long as they can study something based on the content of k-module theory, it is entirely possible to publish a few articles in one area.
And now they have to fight for this time.
Li Mu's report can be regarded as giving domestic mathematicians like them a certain first-mover advantage. After all, when foreign scholars fully understand the k-module theory, their projects may have already begun.
It is conceivable that in the next period of time, the number of papers submitted by their domestic scholars will increase.
Of course, for those first-class or even top scholars, there is no need to compete for this kind of opportunity.
After all, even if they worked on it, they would definitely work on groundbreaking topics, so these scholars simply surrounded Li Mu in the background.
"Very beautiful! Li Mu is indeed a student of our School of Mathematics, Shanghai Jiao Tong University!" Pang Ming said with a laugh.
He would never hide that Li Mu was from their Shanghai Jiaotong University, but as for the Physical Academy? Sorry, don't know.
"Pang, please stop showing off." Yu Liang said, "Li Mu, you'd better come to our Qinghua!"
Listening to the words of the deans, Li Mu couldn't laugh or cry, why was he here again.
At this time, he couldn't help but think of Lian Zhengxing, who invited him every time.
By the way, Lian Zhengxing shouldn't have been absent at this time in the past. Why isn't he here now?
But before he could think about it, Qiu Chengtong, who walked in from the outside, also praised him: "Li Mu, you did a great job. Your proof process was very exciting, and the most exciting one was undoubtedly your k-module theory, which just included Terence Tao. , Deligne, and Faltings have all called me to ask me about k-module theory. Maybe... I can already wish you to win the Fields Medal."
Fields Medal!
Almost everyone cast envious eyes on Li Mu.
Presumably, this top prize in mathematics has become Li Mu’s bag, right?
