"Since you have made your own plans, please reply to Princeton University as soon as possible." After listening to Xu Yun's thoughts, Wu Zhongping paused for two seconds after giving his opinion and then reminded: "But in terms of wording and tone, Be sure to pay more attention.”
Although he doesn't mind Xu Yun going out for further studies, actual statistical data tells him that not many are willing to come back.
After all, the international standards of overseas mathematics circles are indeed much higher than those in China.
It is surprising that Xu Yun chose to stay at Peking University and help the domestic mathematics community improve its international authority and level.
This just proves that statement.
If you think the domestic mathematics level is not good enough, then do research to help improve it.
Rather than choosing to leave.
The key is that Xu Yun obviously has this strength.
If it were said yesterday, even if Xu Yun won the highest prize in the Higher Education Society Cup Mathematical Modeling Competition, he would not have thought that Xu Yun could have any impact or change on the domestic mathematics community.
But now he is full of hope.
Just because Xu Yun completed the Hodge conjecture, a world mathematical problem that has not been achieved by the international mathematics community.
Xu Yun has a clear plan for his studies. He is not someone who changes his mind casually without hesitation.
After hearing what Principal Wu said, he immediately nodded in response.
"Don't worry, principal."
Wu Zhongping had a very comprehensive understanding of Xu Yun from Qin Xiangxin Tang Yanshan today. It is very reassuring to know that Xu Yun has always been steady and meticulous in his work, and there will be basically no problems.
Therefore, he did not say much on this point, but mentioned another very important thing.
"Actually, it's not just Princeton University that has sent you invitation letters. Harvard University, Oxford University, etc. have also sent you emails."
“And the Clay Institute of Mathematics.”
“They also invite you to come to Cambridge for academic exchange.”
"What do you think about this matter?"
After hearing these words, Xu Yun suddenly felt dizzy.
Even though we had known this would happen for a long time, it still felt troublesome when we actually faced it.
After all, if I had to travel to various places, I don’t know how much time would be wasted.
He is not like Lao Ma who likes to fly around the world.
Now that he thinks about it, he somewhat understands why Perelman, the prover of the Poincaré conjecture, refused to accept the award and chose to fade out of the public eye after proving the world's most difficult mathematical problem.
As a hermit in the world of mathematics, I am afraid that what I dislike most is being disturbed by external factors.
However, he didn't know how many mathematicians were staring at him right now, waiting for the lecture on Hodge's conjecture.
Not showing up is obviously not an option.
After thinking for a while, he decided to hand over this problem to Wu Zhongping, Qin Xiangxin, Tang Yanshan and others.
Thinking that in their position, there should be a better way.
"Of course it's okay to give a report, but then I have to write my graduation thesis and defend it. I'm afraid I won't have much time to run around."
"You kid."
"The graduation thesis can be more important than the Hodge Conjecture." Tang Yanshan couldn't help but added after hearing this.
If he had proved the world's mathematical problem, he would have held several report meetings a day, but Xu Yun was still thinking about his graduation thesis at this time. Could it be that the value of his undergraduate thesis was higher than the Hodge conjecture?
Wu Zhongping was not surprised and gave a direct answer to the question raised by Xu Yun.
"Actually, I have discussed this matter carefully with Academician Yuan, Chairman of the Mathematics Society, this morning."
"Our plan is to conduct a report conference in both offline and online formats in the academic lecture hall of Peking University, and invite mathematicians from all over the world to participate."
“For scholars who are unable to come, they can also participate online.”
After speaking, he made no secret of his true plans and also informed them in full.
"Besides, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. I have selfish motives in this matter."
"The academic report on Hodge's conjecture is held at Peking University, and famous mathematicians from around the world are invited to participate. This will greatly enhance the international status and authority of Peking University and the domestic mathematics community."
"Of course the specific form is up to you to decide."
Xu Yun listened to all Wu Zhongping's words and naturally understood the meaning behind them.
Whether it is the Department of Mathematics at Peking University or the National Mathematics Society, they usually hold meetings or exchange activities, and the participants are basically professors from the university.
I want to invite well-known foreign mathematics experts, but they are not willing to come.
After all, participating in a meeting of this level would hardly help their mathematical research.
Why waste time on this.
But this time it's different.
With him as the prover of Hodge's conjecture, if a report meeting was to be held, even if they were not invited, they would probably come to inquire.
Who let the valuable content of the report meeting be there?
Wu Zhongping does have selfish motives, but this selfishness is more for the future development of the Department of Mathematics at Peking University.
and enhance the status of the domestic mathematics community.
After thinking about these things clearly, Xu Yun no longer hesitated and immediately expressed his thoughts.
"I have no opinion."
"Just do as you say, principal."
He had just returned from the imperial capital, and he didn't want to have to travel all the way. It was just right for him to hold the report meeting on Hodge's conjecture in school.
In fact, it's right to think about it. He proved Hodge's conjecture, so why should he fly overseas for academic exchange meetings.
Since other people want to listen, they should take the initiative to come and ask for advice.
After receiving Xu Yun's exact answer, a look of surprise appeared on Wu Zhongping's face.
Quickly finalize the matter officially.
"Then it will be held in the academic lecture hall in ten days. I will tell Academician Yuan the news right away." As he was about to turn around to make a phone call, he suddenly stopped and turned around and added solemnly: "What will happen in the future?" You can come to me at any time, and I will definitely try to satisfy you as long as the school can do it."
"Looking at the entire history of the school, I'm afraid you are the first one who has allowed the school to achieve this level of success."
"Even I'm a little envious." Tang Yanshan continued with a smile.
"I don't have any requirements for school. Now I just want to complete my studies step by step and continue to enrich myself."
Xu Yun had a shy smile on his face and answered humbly.
After confirming the bonus and the academic lecture, Xu Yun stopped staying in the principal's office. He said hello to Wu Zhongping and turned to leave with Tang Yanshan.
Qin Xiangxin stayed temporarily.
He waited patiently until Wu Zhongping and Academician Yuan finished talking, and then took two small steps forward to talk about his own affairs.
"Do you have anything else?"
Wu Zhongping glanced at Qin Xiangxin, sat down in his seat and asked actively.
"With such a president, I want to establish the Institute of Advanced Mathematics at Kyongshu University."
The Institute for Advanced Study is different from the Department of Mathematics at Peking University. First of all, its members are basically professors engaged in mathematics research, and it also recruits outstanding postdoctoral fellows as scientific research assistants.
The number of members is very small.
However, the Institute for Advanced Study is the key to becoming a world-class institution and making major breakthroughs in mathematics.
In fact, Qin Xiangxin had related ideas a few years ago.
Due to the weak teaching staff of the Mathematics Department of Peking University, it has been delayed in realizing this goal.
In recent years, outstanding professors have continued to join Peking University, and the level of all aspects has increased significantly. This made his idea of establishing the Institute for Advanced Mathematics at Peking University resurface.
In particular, Xu Yun's proof of Hodge's conjecture gave him a very good opportunity.
Wu Zhongping said that he had heard Qin Xiangxin talk about this matter before, and he immediately responded after thinking about it for a while.
"This matter should really be put on the agenda."
"Then you will still serve as the dean of the Institute for Advanced Mathematics at Beijing University."
Qin Xiangxin obviously did not expect that things at the institute would go so smoothly this time, and he immediately promised after being surprised.
"Don't worry, principal, I will set up the Advanced Research Institute as soon as possible."
…
…
After taking Professor Tang's car back to the new campus, Xu Yun didn't go anywhere else.
Go directly upstairs to the dormitory.
The bedroom door was only ajar, and when he reached it, he stretched out his hand and pushed the door open.
But as the scene in the dormitory came into view, he was slightly startled for a moment.
Because there were actually five people in the dormitory.
In addition to Qian Yudong, Zhao Yuefeng and Zhou Qi, Zhu Liyan and Zheng Yuchao who came to deliver their luggage did not leave either.
He quickly recovered and was about to say hello when he saw several people suddenly startled.
He quickly jumped up from his chair and became excited.
That's right.
That kind of ejection speed can only be described as channeling.
It took almost as long as Xu Yun blinked, and five big faces with almost the same expressions filled his field of vision.
"Brother Yun, you are finally back."
"Is it this hand that proves Hodge's conjecture?" Taking advantage of Zhao Yuefeng's numbness, Qian Yudong naturally grabbed Xu Yun's right hand, as if admiring a unique treasure.
Even Zhou Qi, who had always been steady, had a pen in his hand.
"Can you sign your name for me, Xu Shen?"
The remaining Zhu Liyan and Zheng Yuchao may have been a little more reserved and did not take advantage of it because they had just arrived.
But the burning gaze in his eyes can already explain the problem.
Faced with several performances in the dormitory, Xu Yun didn't know that the fact that he had proven Hodge's conjecture had already spread in the school.
Feeling dumbfounded, he first shook off Qian Yudong's fat hands, then walked towards his desk and responded.
"Do you all know what's going on online?"
"Not only do I know, all the official accounts I know have posted." Qian Yudong had a flattering smile on his face and immediately took over the conversation: "This is a grand event in the entire mathematics community. It is difficult not to know about it."
"Lao Zheng and I saw the news at the high-speed rail station, and our jaws dropped."
"Xu Yun."
"Is the mathematics paper you wrote in the dormitory last time about the proof of Hodge's conjecture?"
"It's a preliminary argument about Hodge's conjecture." Faced with Zhou Qi's inquiry, Xu Yun nodded and answered truthfully.
This sentence also shocked everyone present. Who would have thought that the proof process of the world's most difficult mathematical problem, the Hodge conjecture, was actually completed in an undergraduate dormitory.
But thinking about it carefully, I am afraid that even if Xu Yun told them, they would definitely not believe it.
"I suddenly sympathize with the three of you. How stressful it must be to live with such a monster genius."
After barely digesting the shock of the news, Zhu Liyan looked at Zhou Qi and the others and couldn't help but sigh.
Upon hearing this, Qian Yudong suddenly turned into a bitter man.
"Who says it isn't?"
After speaking, something suddenly occurred to him and he shouted to Xu Yun: "You have to treat us to a big dinner this time."
