Huaxia, Beijing, Yanbei University, International Academy of Mathematics, Lu Changzheng is sitting in his office reading the paper.
Like Sumant Jair, he downloaded and printed out the papers of Joze and Corey Durant.
But Corey Durant's paper was being tossed aside and he had no time to pay attention to it.
After all, unlike Sumant Jair, he was not a reviewer of Qiao Ze’s paper, and this was the first Qiao Ze paper he had read, which felt very strange.
The sudden ringing of the phone interrupted Lu Changzheng's concentration.
Professor Lu frowned slightly and glanced at the mobile phone that was casually thrown on the table. When he saw the word Qian Yuhai, the corners of his mouth slightly raised. He stretched out his hand and pressed the call button, not bothering to take the mobile phone. Clicked on the loudspeaker.
"Hey, old Qian, what's going on?"
"What else can happen? Are you reading your child's paper?"
"Yeah, very insightful."
"Yeah, I regret it. When I went to Xilin, I should have thought of a way. This kid couldn't get Yanbei to come. It was a loss."
"Oh? What do you say?"
"I just read Li Jiangao's previous papers. Let me tell you, his research direction has nothing to do with this paper."
Lu Changzheng was silent for a moment, and then said in a strange tone: "So? What if you bring someone here? Can you give him guidance?"
"this……"
"Look, to put it bluntly, you are just jealous that Li Jiangao can be signed as the corresponding author without doing anything."
"Haha... aren't you jealous?"
"Nonsense, of course I'm jealous. Who wouldn't want a student like this? But then again, what the Department of Mathematics of Xilin University of Technology did this time was quite unethical. It's true that they put Li Jiangao and Qiao Ze on the fire. Then what's the plan? It was so loud that I could hear it in the capital."
"Haha, speaking of this, I was on the phone with Lao Zhang just now and suggested that he go to the Education Bureau to find an acquaintance. As a team expert, he organized a team to go to Xilin for a thorough investigation. After the investigation is completed, he will come back. I am going to announce that the results of the internal investigation will not be reported to the outside world. By the way, I will organize a group of people to dig out any black materials in the papers published by the School of Mathematics of Xilin University of Technology in recent years. The Internet is helping the School of Mathematics of Xilin University of Technology to be exposed! What do you think? Sample?"
"Old Qian... When it comes to loss, it's you who loses it! If you really do this, the feud will be big! If this word reaches other people's ears, that man named Xu will rush to the capital and hang you up on the city wall. I just pretended I didn’t see it.”
"Haha, I just came up with an idea, what does it have to do with me? It's a pity, Lao Zhang is not happy, otherwise, this thing would be really fun."
"Isn't that right? Old Qian, are you so free today? Why did you call me specifically to make fun of me? Isn't this not your style?"
"Hey, you didn't know this, right? I was watching someone's live broadcast online, and Sumant Jair from Berkeley and Ackermann Cornet from Cohn University got into a fight on Facebook. And Guess why they fought?"
"What? Sumante and Ackerman are fighting? I remember that their research directions are different, right? Hasn't Sumante turned to specializing in the field of computer artificial intelligence in recent years? Ackerman is still doing research on finite group structures, right? ?How could they conflict?"
"Hahaha, this is the most interesting part. They got into a fight because of Qiao Ze's paper! Didn't Ackerman's students publish one in the Internet, you know, right?"
Lu Changzheng subconsciously glanced at the paper he had printed out and replied, "I know, I've already downloaded it."
"Then Sukman directly said on Facebook last night that an important theoretical proof process in the paper by Ackerman's student was directly plagiarized from Qiao Ze's paper. You can tell me how much fun it is!"
Lu Changzheng was stunned.
This brain circuit is somewhat difficult to reverse.
A professor from a top American university and a professor from another top German university had a direct quarrel on a foreign social platform over whether a paper by a Chinese boy was plagiarized?
This can no longer be said to be outrageous, this is a series that has been around for a long time.
"Wait, that's not right. It should be one o'clock in the afternoon in Germany, and it's just seven o'clock in the morning in the United States right? Why is this so noisy?"
"Haha, you don't know now, right? For Sumant, they have been fighting for almost an entire night. He sent the message first, and then about three hours later, around seven o'clock in the morning in Germany, Ah Ackerman responded, and then Sumant immediately started posting accusations... The current record is that Sumant has posted seven messages, and Ackerman has also responded to seven messages. Now he is still waiting for Sumant to continue to kill. ! Two people started arguing, and now at least more than a thousand people are watching. There are also a bunch of people in the comment areas on both sides adding fuel to the fire. Haha, it’s so joyful..."
After hearing this, Lu Changzheng glanced at the paper on the table and suddenly felt that the paper was not good.
After all, the paper can be read at any time. If you miss this kind of century showdown between masters, you can only watch the replay.
"Where are you? Third floor?"
"No, it's in the small conference room on the second floor. Lao Zhang called Lao Zhu and Lao Liu over to prepare for the projection. Lao Qu went to buy melon seeds and peanuts, and everyone was ready to have fun together."
"Wait for me, I'll be there soon."
After saying that, Lu Changzheng picked up his phone and rushed out of the office.
…
In the conference room on the second floor, Qian Yuhai hung up the phone leisurely.
One by one, everyone in the conference room today has to thank him.
If he hadn't discovered this fun first, they would have missed this extremely exciting verbal battle.
Top bosses from top universities duel through social media!
This is a completely tearful rhythm!
You may not encounter it once in a hundred years.
Of course, that's not to say it hasn't happened before.
It is a pity that in that era when there were many academic giants, there was no Internet.
Everyone can only chat through emails, and they have to wait for a long time on the road without saying anything. If the two of them don't take the initiative to disclose it, others will not know at all.
It's different now.
Information spreads at the speed of light, and people can watch the entire process. Everyone's speech will be recorded by countless pieces of hardware, and they cannot be deleted even if they want to.
There are only two words for this duel mode - exciting!
In addition, the trigger of the duel also involved a genius child they knew, a paper produced by China, which directly increased the sense of participation.
If there is a fly in the ointment, it is that Qiao Ze did not come to Yanbei Mathematics Institute. If this guy was here, the live broadcast would be twice as effective.
Really, if he wasn't a professor with whom he usually had a good relationship, he wouldn't have informed her at all.
Wait and watch the replay later!
…
"Ha... you are all really here? Lao Zhang, aren't you busy with this and that every day? Why do you still have time to come here and join in the fun?" As soon as Lu Changzheng walked in, he saw that everyone was really here. Then he said something contemptuously.
"Nonsense, no matter how busy you are, you have to take some time out! How many times have you seen this kind of thing in your life?"
"That's right, stop talking nonsense. Is this how the wire is connected?"
"Come on, let me take a look, it's true! Hey...it's done!"
Lu Changzheng glanced at the curtain of the conference room. The contents of Qian Yuhai's notebook had been pushed to the big curtain.
"Old Qian, hurry up and read out all the content just now."
"That's right, stop mumbling there."
"Haha, don't worry, it's coming, it's coming."
Two minutes later, Lu Changzheng finally saw the Facebook post that triggered the confrontation.
"I originally planned to remain silent while watching the two papers, but every time I think about basic mathematical theory starting to stagnate in this materially developed era, I feel unbearable. So I want to ask Professor Cornet of Cohen University directly , put the important lemma proof process in other people’s papers directly into your own paper, what kind of behavior is this?”
There is also a cartoon underneath this sentence.
In the cartoon, a young man is immersed in writing with a pen. Behind the young man stands a middle-aged man with blond hair, squinting and copying what the young man has written.
After seeing this news, Lu Changzheng felt astonished.
Sure enough, you still have to look at these professors from abroad.
This is really not hiding anything, just slashing out and hitting the vital point.
There's no way to avoid it!
After all, if you really ignore it, you will be accused of plagiarism.
There is no doubt that for a scholar who just won the Gauss Prize the year before last, this is absolutely unbearable.
After everyone had finished reading, Qian Yuhai switched to Akerman Cornet's Facebook with a smile on his face.
"To be honest, when my friend told me that Suckerman suddenly attacked me on Facebook, the only impression I had of this Berkeley professor was that he was an American. Yes, that's right, he is an American. So this baseless accusation sounds very reasonable! I have to say, this is very American.”
"puff……"
"Hahaha……"
Seeing this reply from the German, everyone in the conference room laughed.
Even Qian Yuhai, who had watched the whole process before, couldn't help laughing again.
Although the Germans played the role of villains in this incident, this reply inexplicably made everyone laugh.
We must admit that there is something real in the quarrel between these top foreign professors. You can fill up bUFF in just one sentence.
After the happy laughter, Qian Yuhai switched to a picture, this time it was the comment below after Akerman Cornet responded to the message.
"Ackerman, although I agree with what you said, I have to remind you that Sumant is the 2021 Turing Award winner."
"But it's just a Turing Award."
"This just makes me feel ashamed."
"So this is a battle between the Turing Award and the Gauss Award? Victory represents honor?"
"Maybe this is a battle between computers and mathematics. Obviously, this time I want to side with mathematics. As we all know, without the language of numbers, there is no such thing as a computer. The important thing is that I believe in Ackerman."
"Don't take sides just to watch the excitement! Be careful of getting slapped in the face!"
real……
The names behind this comment are all important figures from major universities.
However, Qian Yuhai didn't give these people too many shots, and once again switched the perspective to Sumant Jair's Facebook.
"It seems that Professor Cornet and the Berliners have different views on the United States, but the interesting thing is that you still chose to publish that article in an American journal. Now I have given you enough tips. If you still have good memory, The decline is not too obvious, I guess you must have remembered something."
The second sword was drawn directly, which was really exciting.
But there was nothing to complain about in this sentence, so Qian Yuhai quickly switched to the next screenshot.
"Perhaps I should thank Sumant for using Facebook to help my research group promote the successful results of the research. But if you have any doubts about the originality of this paper, you should use the plagiarism check system to post more perfect evidence. This That's what decent people should do. Instead of being like a Riddler and posting nonsense on Facebook. Of course, it's understandable. After all, your ancestors took everything they needed when they left the British Isles, except Abandoning the most basic etiquette and the aristocratic spirit of our fathers... Oh, I'm sorry, I was wrong, I almost forgot, there seemed to be no aristocrats immigrating to America at that time."
"It can be seen here that Ackerman is guilty. He seems to have been trying to change the subject." Zhang Hongcai suddenly commented.
After all, here are China's top mathematics professors, and their logical analysis abilities are all available to them.
"It's a bit, Lao Lu, weren't you reading a paper just now? Have you read both papers? Are there really any similarities?"
Lu Changzheng shook his head and said: "I am still studying Qiao Ze's paper, and I have only read it halfway. The paper by Ackerman's team has been downloaded, but it has been left aside and I haven't had time to read it yet. I want to Don’t you want me to get it now?”
"That's not necessary. I didn't read either of them in depth, but I did browse through both papers. The general impression is that the two papers are not very similar. After all, Qiao Ze's paper is more focused on solving theoretical problems. But Ah When Kerman's paper solved the specific datapartition orbit problem, there was a mathematical proof process that was indeed somewhat similar to the proof of similar problems in Qiao Ze's paper. Because that problem did require a specific datapartition to define the corresponding structure. , there’s no way around it.”
Qian Yuhai shrugged and said.
"That's unreasonable. Even if this process cannot be circumvented, it shouldn't involve plagiarism? Even if we really need to learn from this proof process, wouldn't it be better to just quote it directly? Are the Germans so rigorous that they don't even quote a single quote? Are you not willing to contribute? Isn't this unreasonable?" Zhang Hongcai said suspiciously.
Several people looked at each other and felt confused.
It is indeed difficult to understand this.
After all, as long as the scholar's IQ is on the line, they are obviously two different papers. If there is only a little overlap, they will choose to plagiarize unless they have a brain cramp, right?
Can the citation rules that have been circulated for hundreds of years in academic circles be forgotten?
But if there was no copying, why would Sumant be so aggressive?
Why does Ackerman feel guilty in his performance?
Really, at this moment, several of the smartest brains in China in the conference room were a little dizzy by this question.
What kind of magical operation is this?
Until Qian Yuhai, who was playing with the computer while thinking, suddenly shouted: "Huh? Sumante has the latest response, everyone, please take a look."
Okay, I can't figure it out, and I'm too lazy to think about it. The most important thing is to eat melon at this time.
All eyes were turned to the big screen at this moment.
"I'm sorry to keep you all waiting. Because editor-in-chief Carl of the Courant Institute of New York University just called me. He hopes that I can resolve this dispute in a so-called gentleman's way. Obviously, they I’m afraid, I’m afraid that I really have evidence that Akerman Cornet plagiarized!”
"After all, as accomplices, the editors of are not exempt from the blame in this matter. They even took the double-blind review system of papers that these traditional journals have always respected and played new tricks. This is why I have to speak out here. The reason! Perhaps these unprofessional operations are the reason why some people can do whatever they want and why our basic mathematical theory has stagnated!"
…
Good guy!
Several people in the conference room really wanted to call him "good guy!"
I thought this duel of the century was just a spat between two top scholars, but who would have thought that now even the world's top mathematics journals would be involved.
Sumant Jer is really going crazy, right?
To say that this professor has no ironclad evidence, the professors at Yanbei University don’t quite believe it!
After all, if no evidence can be produced in the end, Lao Su may be directly banned by the entire mathematics community!
Isn't it?
Just for a brief proof process for a Chinese paper, Sumante actually worked so hard?
Do you want to play this big? !
…
"I bought melon seeds and peanuts... but I'm exhausted. Hey, what are your expressions like this? Did I miss any exciting part?!"
"Stop talking nonsense and put it up quickly. In fact, you came just in time. Let me tell you, you just happened to see Sumante swinging his knife wildly! Now the excitement is just at full capacity!"
"That's a good relationship. Let's see... oh... this is really a big deal! Is Sumant Jer going to chop me off too?"
"Old Qian, hurry up, read the comments, read the comments!"
"Okay!"
When Qian Yuhai clicked on Sumant Jair's comment section, the first person to grab the spot was Joe Berner, the editor-in-chief of the editorial office.
"Sumant, don't be so excited, but it is a very excellent mathematics journal recognized by the academic community, second only to the Big Four! The editor-in-chief and editors of the journal are recognized as professionals. If there is no conclusive evidence, we cannot be so contaminated. Their century-old reputation!"
Um……
Very rational evaluation.
If it hadn't been for the fact that it was only seven o'clock in the morning, US time, far before it was time to go to work, everyone might really believe that this guy was trying to break up the fight!
