Laughter and cheers heated up the atmosphere.
Regardless of whether the Fields Medal is already in Li Mu's bag, for those present, it is a great blessing to have such a talent appear in the Chinese mathematics community.
While everyone was celebrating, Li Mu's cell phone suddenly rang.
I took it out and saw that it was a call from Deligne.
He answered the phone and said, "Hello, Professor Deligne."
The people who were celebrating around him also fell silent after hearing the call from his mouth.
Who else could be the Deligne who could call Li Mu?
Soon, Deligne's voice came from the other side of the phone.
"Li Mu, long time no see... Oh, strictly speaking, I just saw you on the computer, and you probably haven't seen me for a long time."
Li Mu was startled: "Did you see me on the computer?"
"Hey, of course, many of us were watching your live broadcast just now."
This was something Li Mu didn't expect.
Before, he had been conducting his reports seriously and had no concern at all about live broadcasts.
Deligne smiled and said: "Although I don't understand what you said, fortunately you still wrote down most of the process on the blackboard. I have read it and your proofs of the two conjectures are very exciting."
Hearing what the other party said, Li Mu couldn't help but laugh for a moment, and then said sincerely: "Thank you!"
"In addition, I am calling you because I want to tell you good news. As an honorary director of AMS, I have now received a notification from AMS about the candidates for this year's Cole Number Theory Award——"
Deligne smiled: "Yes, it's you. "
"Your proof of the hail conjecture is enough for you to win this award, and just ten days ago, you used the twin prime conjecture to win this award, which laid a deeper foundation for you, although the twin prime conjecture still needs to be confirmed. , but given the current situation, it’s probably impossible to escape.”
"So, congratulations on becoming the youngest recipient of the Cole Prize in Number Theory."
Li Mu's face suddenly showed a surprised expression.
Cole Prize for number theory?
Actually awarded it to him like this?
As a well-known award in the field of mathematics, the Kohl's Number Theory Award only targets the field of number theory, but it also means that those who can win this award have achieved the top level in the field of number theory.
And he got it just like that.
Of course, his surprise was not because he thought he was not qualified, but simply because he was surprised to receive such a prestigious award.
After all, he is only twenty years old this year.
What do ordinary people do when they are 20 years old?
In China, you may be in your second or third year of college, or you may have already entered the workforce, and those who are more talented may only be studying for graduate school.
At this time, he received a notification of winning an internationally renowned award.
Even the youngest recipient.
After being pleasantly surprised for a while, he quickly calmed down.
The Cole Prize for Number Theory is actually nothing. After all, he has become the most competitive candidate for the Fields Medal.
"Thank you Professor Deligne, it's my honor!"
"Haha, I can't say it's an honor or not. I can only say that you deserve it. Now, I look forward to seeing you again when I give you the award."
"Of course." Li Mu said with a smile.
"Well." Deligne said, "Oh, by the way, there is one more thing I need to ask you for."
"Actually, Sanak asked me to tell you this."
Li Mu was stunned: "Professor Sarnak?"
"Well, he is sending you a manuscript invitation on behalf of the "Annals of Mathematics". Regarding your Polignac conjecture and Hardy-Littlewood conjecture, the "Annals of Mathematics" is very much looking forward to your submission, although I am not a "Mathematics" "Annals" editor, but after all, he is also a professor at Princeton University, so I am also looking forward to your submission of manuscripts."
"In addition, there is the most important k-module theory. We also hope that you can write a more detailed paper separately."
"I think this is what the mathematics community is most looking forward to."
Hearing Deligne's words, Li Mu couldn't help but laugh, and then said: "Since Professor Sarnak has invited me like this, of course I will not refuse, and I will also write an independent paper on the k-module theory. "
Deligne smiled: "That's good."
"In this case, I won't bother you anymore. Let's celebrate. I hope you can lead our mathematics community to become more brilliant in the future."
"I hope so too."
After putting down the phone, everyone around him gave him curious expressions.
"Why did Deligne call you?"
Qiu Chengtong asked curiously.
Deligne had called him just now, and now he called Li Mu. Could it be that he was also asking about k-module theory?
Li Mu replied: "Professor Peter Sarnak, the editor-in-chief of Annals of Mathematics, asked Professor Deligne to send me an invitation to submit papers, hoping that I could submit the proof papers of the Polignac conjecture and the Hardy-Littlewood conjecture. Vote for them, and k-module theory."
Since the proof of the twin prime conjecture was solved at the Chinese Mathematics Academic Summit, it would be published in the form of a conference paper. The proof of these two conjectures, as well as the k-module theory, were all presented in his personal report. It does not count as a conference, so related papers still need to be published by him.
It was precisely because of this that Peter Sarnak sent him an invitation to contribute.
The people present were stunned for a moment.
An invitation from the Annals of Mathematics?
I heard that Li Mu had received unsolicited manuscript invitations from "Nature", "JACS" and "PRL" before, but now "Annals of Mathematics" is also here!
If this continues, will "Cell" be inviting manuscripts from him?
Good guy, isn’t this crossing a field too scary?
Of course, although this is shocking to everyone, it is nothing to Qiu Chengtong. After all, he has also received invitations to contribute to the four top journals in the mathematics world.
"So he called you specifically just to talk about this matter?" Qiu Chengtong said: "You can submit these papers to any journal. He must have other things to tell you, right?"
"There is indeed one more thing." Li Mu said shyly: "He also informed me that I won this year's Cole Prize for Number Theory."
As soon as this sentence was said, everyone around him became even more uneasy.
Cole Prize for Number Theory!
Compared with the invitation to publish in the Annual Journal of Mathematics, the Cole Prize in Number Theory is obviously more surprising.
The last Chinese winner of the Cole Prize for Number Theory was Zhang Yitang.
But in terms of nationality, he is not Chinese.
So based on this calculation, Li Mu will become the first Chinese to win the Cole Prize for number theory.
Thinking of this, everyone around him cheered and applauded Li Mu again.
"congratulations!"
"congratulations."
Li Mu smiled and thanked them.
Zhang Yitang also said to him with emotion: "Congratulations. The Cole Number Theory Award is awarded to those who have made great contributions and achievements in the field of number theory. Although I won this award 6 years ago, compared with you, , or you are more qualified."
Li Mu smiled and said: "I was able to win this award based on your original method. Your contribution to the twin prime conjecture was also very great."
Zhang Yitang waved his hand: "No need to comfort me."
He also applauded: "Of course, we don't need to say these words. We still want to say congratulations to you."
Seeing Zhang Yitang's expression, Li Mu said no more.
Then in a cheerful atmosphere, the report came to an end.
Relevant news also spread quickly.
"Confirm two major conjectures again!" The whole family was blown away by Li Mu’s twin prime number conjecture! 》
"A report etched in the history of mathematics!" 20 small blackboards to write the truth of mathematics! 》
"The Thought of Genius, the K-Module Theory of Genius"
"Shock! Li Mu was actually in the report..."
…
A series of news has attracted the attention of countless netizens.
Being on trending searches is a must.
Netizens went crazy.
【I'll do it! What's this! What are the Polignac conjecture and Hardy-Littlewood conjecture? ? ? Is this a joke? 】
[Is it so easy to prove mathematical conjectures? Got it, I'm going to try Goldbach's conjecture now. 】
[Hold it in, it will kill your brain cells. It’s better for your head! 】
[I just woke up. Damn it, what is this? Whether it is the Polignac conjecture or the Hardy-Littlewood conjecture, it can be regarded as an enhanced version of the twin prime conjecture. Did Faun prove both at once? ? Oh no, plus the twin prime conjecture, that’s three! 】
[What you are talking about is not the real point. Proving these conjectures is only secondary. What is really awesome is the k-module theory proposed by Faun in proving the Hardy-Littlewood conjecture. This is absolutely important to the mathematical community. It can be regarded as the most important achievement in so long. There will be many mathematical results and papers in the future, which may be based on this K-module theory. 】
[A Ph.D. student in mathematics said that this is indeed the case. My teacher is a mathematics professor at Huaguo University of Science and Technology. According to him, Mu Shen’s paper is of extremely important significance to the development of the entire mathematics community, especially in the implementation of On the Langlands Program, my teacher seems to have already planned to study the K-mode theory of Mu Shen. Now he is gearing up. All he can say is that you should never ask me to join the research group. Just listening to Mu Shen’s live broadcast makes my head go crazy. . 】
[It’s over, it’s over, my instructor has asked me to write a graduation thesis based on k-module theory, please let me die! 】
[Be careful of your tutor stealing the results, otherwise why would he let you do the research if he doesn’t do it himself]
[Ah, no, don’t scare me! 】
[By the way, doesn’t anyone ask about Fan Pairen now? 】
[Fan Pairen, who is this spy? 】
[Just a jb touch, I heard that he went to Mu Shen to report on the spot, but he was probably frightened by Mu Shen's proof of two conjectures in succession. He ran away secretly in the middle, and was finally caught by the security guards of Beijing University. , may be prosecuted for the crime of spreading rumors. 】
【The light of righteousness! It shines on the earth! 】
…
Facts have proved that Fan Pairen has indeed become a thing of the past. Although some people are still discussing him, he cannot attract much attention.
As for Fan Pairen's Weibo account that just gained tens of thousands of fans, if you click on it now, you will find that it has been blocked.
But people seemed to have forgotten him and paid more attention to what Li Mu had done.
It didn’t take long before the official website of AMS announced the winner of this year’s Cole Number Theory Award, and Li Mu’s name was prominently displayed on it.
The mathematics community once again caused an uproar, but there was no voice of doubt. It can only be said that it is worthy of the name and expected by the public.
Even if this year's Cole Prize for Number Theory is not awarded to Li Mu, the value of this award will be questioned.
Who else is more qualified to receive this award than Li Mu?
As for those mathematicians who had a chance to win the award and were already on the list of candidates, they were not jealous of this result, only convinced.
If they get this award first before Li Mu, they will probably feel uneasy, and maybe some people will suspect that they have some kind of cooperation with AMS.
Then, the news was quickly learned by the domestic media, which added a barrel of oil to the original heat again, making it even more intense.
Li Mu's Weibo fans alone have skyrocketed to 3 million. If this continues, there is probably a chance of reaching 10 million.
But under such huge heat, what is Li Mu doing in the center of the whirlpool?
…
"What? The person behind Fan Pairen who helped him and contacted the navy was Peng Chuan, a professor at Shangjing University? He was even a student of Lian Zhengxing?"
In the hotel room, Li Mu was shocked when he learned the news from Professor Lin Yao.
"Yes." Lin Yao nodded and said with emotion: "Actually, you have been affected by some old things in our school."
Then, he told Li Mu what happened that year.
"There are still people like this, damn it!"
After hearing this, Li Mu immediately cursed, this kind of person is simply useless as a teacher.
Lin Yao sighed, shook his head and said, "There is always a shortage of people like this, so you don't need to care too much."
"Then what should we do with this person in the future?"
"He was jointly identified by Fan Pairen and the Pu Peng News reporter. I thought he had run away, but today he was found drinking in his own house and was arrested. , and confessed to the crime of inducing Fan Pairen to spread rumors."
"He will probably stay there for a few years. The same goes for Fan Pairen, but he should only stay for less than a year before he can come out. The reporter and Fan Pairen should be about the same."
"Of course, no matter what, they still have a criminal record, and it will be difficult to find a job in the future."
After hearing Professor Lin Yao's words, Li Mu nodded.
The crime is deserved, which is very satisfying.
"Okay, just understand these things." Lin Yao said with a smile: "You have gained quite a lot in Shangjing this time. We are also planning to go back tomorrow. Our school has been eagerly looking forward to your return. .”
Li Mu nodded, "Okay."
"I have to go to Beijing University later, I have something to do."
Speaking of this matter, Li Mu also felt a little confused.
Because his sister suddenly told him that her mentor, Academician Chen Shanping, wanted to meet him.
What does this academician who studies life sciences want to do with him?
But he is also a highly respected academician in the academic world and is my sister’s mentor, so it’s better to go there.
Lin Yao waved his hand: "It's okay, go ahead. We'll be back tomorrow anyway."
"OK."
Li Mu nodded. Suddenly, before leaving, he remembered something again, so he took out a piece of draft paper from his arms and handed it to Lin Yao.
"By the way, Professor Lin, regarding the question raised at the end of your last report, that is, how to prove the second main theorem of truncation of non-Archimedean subshape mappings, I thought about it and used k-module theory to solve it. , it should be a good method, here is some reference I can give you."
He handed the scrap paper in his hand to Professor Lin Yao, and then he waved his hand to indicate that he was leaving first.
Lin Yao looked at the draft paper in his hand in a daze.
After opening it, there were only a few simple lines on it, but just by looking at it, Lin Yao was inspired.
If we continue to follow this inspiration, maybe that problem can really be solved.
"This kid..."
He smiled and put away the scratch paper.
Li Mu had helped Wu Mengyuan, but he had not forgotten him.
