Liu Chenfeng walked out of Qiao Ze's office in a daze. Instead of going back directly, he stood in the corridor and stared at the scenery outside in a daze. It took him a long time to fully react.
The good news is that the project has been completed and the paper has been confirmed to be published in the "Annals of Mathematics".
And given Qiao Ze’s character, the corresponding author and first author must be Qiao Ze himself, but he will definitely be assigned a second author.
Even if he really didn't contribute much this time.
The bad news is that if you look carefully at Qiao Ze's attitude just now, after this project is completed, the little boss he is obsessed with will most likely be too lazy to play with him.
Liu Chenfeng is actually understandable. If it were him, he wouldn't be willing to bring a guy who can't help much and still wants to share honors.
But he was also helpless.
Really, Liu Chenfeng felt that he had tried very hard to catch up with Qiao Ze.
Since deciding on the topic, he has also worked hard to study and think...
Even before going to bed every night, I have to think about the proposition.
But there is no way to catch up!
Don't talk about him. As a Ph.D. in mathematics, although he has not yet been included in the mainstream academic circle, he understands the normal research rhythm.
But he really couldn't understand Qiao Ze's rhythm, and Liu Chenfeng believed that no one could understand it either. This was no longer a question of whether he worked hard or not. But no matter how hard we try, it is impossible to keep up with this pace.
After lamenting in his heart for a while, Liu Chenfeng reluctantly dialed Xu Dajiang's phone number.
I used to think that my tutor was too useless.
But at this time, you still need the warmth of your mentor.
"Hey, boss, are you busy now?"
"Stop talking nonsense, tell me what's going on?"
Xu Dajiang's tone was as impolite as ever.
"The new topic of the little boss has been completed, and the paper has been accepted by the "Annual Review of Mathematics". The proofreading process has begun, and it will be directly published in the electronic journal the day after tomorrow."
"What did you say?"
Liu Chenfeng helplessly repeated what he just said.
This reaction is to be expected.
After a long silence, Xu Dajiang confirmed again: "The new topic you are talking about is about the correspondence between the two-dimensional field and Riemannian space?"
"Yes, but I think the title of the paper seems to have gone a step further. It should be that he directly made the correspondence between non-Abelian groups."
"Oh? Did you see it again?"
"Yeah. I saw the reply from Dugan, the editor-in-chief of Mathematics Annual, to the little boss. It mentioned the title of the paper that the little boss finalized."
"If it's this topic, it will take at least ten and a half days to review the manuscript, right? In other words, Qiao Ze has already submitted the manuscript before the National Day?"
"I do not know!"
"Aren't you in Qiao Ze's research group?"
"Yeah, but I'm still making preparations."
"Forget it, I understand. You go and do your own thing." Xu Dajiang's tone suddenly became kind.
"Oh, I got it boss."
Liu Chenfeng hung up the phone and finally felt more stable. He thought back then he was also a naturally strong and strong brother. But now I really can’t be strong anymore.
He walked back to his seat silently, sat down, and glanced at Tan Jingrong who was still immersed in revising his paper beside him. Well, there is nothing to talk about with this guy.
So he looked at the Austrian female doctor on the other side who was studying with a book in his arms, and couldn't help but ask: "Hannah, before coming to China, who do you think is the youngest, the most outstanding, the most powerful, and even the one you admire?" Who is the mathematician?”
Hannah looked away from the book blankly, looked at the man next to her in confusion, and then shook her head.
You can’t say it’s you, right?
…
Xu Dajiang felt numb after hanging up the phone.
For a child who has repeatedly exceeded the cognitive bottom line, he can only blame it on Qiao Ze's early accumulation.
There is no other reason at all.
It’s only mid-October.
For real freshmen, they are just beginning to get in touch with college knowledge.
But for a non-mainstream freshman, his second paper is about to be published in the "Annals of Mathematics".
The only thing that made Xu Dajiang feel relieved was that Qiao Ze was about to celebrate his nineteenth birthday.
Being one year older, it should be a little less shocking, right?
But Xu Dajiang felt more and more unsure.
If this article is published, it will probably be of concern to more than just Princeton, right?
Can Qiao Ze really be determined to stay in Xilin?
Really, Xu Dajiang would rather Qiao Ze develop slower and wait for math school.
His heart couldn't bear this speed!
After sitting in the car and calming down for a moment, Xu Dajiang dialed Li Jiangao's number. After the call was connected, he asked kindly: "Jiangao, where are you?"
"Dean Xu, I'm outside, is there something wrong?"
"Nothing, I just wanted to ask, how are you getting along with my old classmate's kid? Are you still in contact?"
"Oh, doesn't it happen to be the weekend? I'm going shopping with her."
"Haha, that's good, that's good. You should take more time to think about personal issues. It's time for you to start a family and start a business at this age. You go shopping first. I'll hang up first."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Dajiang finally felt more at ease.
My old classmate is just a daughter. She has already said that she doesn’t need any betrothal gifts, but she must stay in Xilin.
He had to quickly persuade his old classmates to get married as soon as possible.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be a problem for Li Jiangao to live in such a big house alone.
…
In Beijing, He Solo has actually finished writing an interview article about Qiao Ze. The title is "Perhaps only geniuses who can endure loneliness can maintain prosperity."
The article has actually been reviewed by the editor, but has not yet been published.
He Duchang is still waiting for news from the Natural Science Foundation.
He has already agreed with Ma Yufei that he will be notified when there is news over there.
Regardless of whether the final decision is to let Qiao Ze serve as a member of the expert panel, he will choose that time to publish the article.
It was just a matter of slightly modifying the beginning and end of the article based on the different results. In fact, he had already prepared both the positive and negative articles.
If Qiao Ze eventually becomes an expert, then he will post a hopeful article.
If the application is rejected in the end, then send an encouragement letter.
However, there was still no news from the Natural Science Foundation, so he could only wait.
Even a little impatient.
After all, it's been a long time since he had that feeling of excitement that he had when he was still young.
This trip to Xilin gave him an experience.
He believes that after the article is published, there will be many people like him, right?
…
United States, Princeton.
After bidding farewell to Lot Dugan, Daniel Milnor, who returned to the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, also felt excited.
Yang-Mills theory sets up an exquisite mathematical framework.
But there is no mathematical explanation.
And now, a young man is ready to challenge the ultimate world problem.
There is even hope that this problem can be solved.
Because in modern mathematics, the golden production period of the brain is generally recognized as the ten years between the ages of 30 and 40.
Before the age of 30, most people are still in the stage of accumulating knowledge. After the age of 40, under the influence of physiological functions, various brain functions inevitably begin to decline.
And Qiao Ze extended this time to more than 20 years! No, even longer, because at the age of eighteen he had already achieved what other mathematicians might have achieved in their thirties.
Really, the more I think about Daniel Milnor, the more excited I become. There is no doubt in his mind that Joe Ze belongs to Princeton.
Sitting in front of the computer, Daniel Milnor, who had been unable to calm down for a long time, rarely opened his Facebook and quickly published a paragraph.
"Some people questioned that the "Annual Review of Mathematics" should not promote the paper of an 18-year-old child, and some even suspected that it was flattering. I used to be one of you, but now I know that I was wrong! Two Queen, please pay attention to Joe's new paper on the official website of "Annals of Mathematics", and you will understand why all this is happening.
It's a pity that I'm not in China, otherwise I would have invited Joe in person to teach at Princeton. He has this qualification, and I think he should even become an academician of the mathematics group of the Academy of Sciences immediately. If he showed up at Princeton, I vowed to put his name on my letter of recommendation.
In addition, what I want to say is that although the two papers are closely related, not everyone can understand Joe's new paper. But if you can read it, you can understand how horrible this kid's understanding of math is! By the way @Robert Stephen, I suggest you download that paper as soon as possible, and then you will probably regret not being a reviewer of this paper. "
This Facebook post by Daniel Milnor is going in the direction of directly blowing up Joe Ze.
There was no way, he thought this Facebook post would definitely bring him closer to Qiao Ze quickly.
It's like when he was young, he especially hoped to have a senior who appreciated him and stood up for him.
To judge others by oneself, Daniel Milnor thinks that Qiao Ze will probably do the same.
At least he should be able to feel his kindness, and he also believes that this Facebook post will definitely be known to Qiao Ze.
…
This is indeed the case.
Although Daniel Milnor does not often speak on Facebook, as a Fields Medal winner whose real name has been verified, it is conceivable that his attention is still very high. At least among the mathematical community.
And there are many young students who also pay attention to this big man.
In a sense, there is some truth to the saying that science knows no borders.
At least in the area of number theory, any progress that is pushed forward is a contribution to the overall human civilization.
Just like the n-body problem studied by Lot Dugan.
If it really succeeds, it will allow world astronomy to more accurately predict the positions of the planets in the solar system.
This will make a decisive contribution to the ability of human beings on earth to move beyond the planet and become a true inter-planetary civilization.
The difference is the practical ability corresponding to theory.
The theoretical basis of almost the technology can be found in the public literature, but the technical details cannot be found.
So although Daniel Milnor actually has a small number of fans, only more than 10,000, which is not even a fraction of the number of Internet celebrities. But they are all groups of mathematicians distributed all over the place.
Just when "Annals of Mathematics" was being criticized, I suddenly posted such an article on Facebook, which indeed quickly caused an uproar.
What does it mean?
Are there actually two papers written by Qiao Zetou? Companion piece?
The first one is just an appetizer? Is the second article the real highlight?
This time the mathematics community is really in an uproar.
If someone else said this, no one would believe it.
After all, no one has heard of this speed of writing papers, at least in the new century.
Let’s do the math. How many papers has Qiao Ze written for Yizuo this year?
Even as a team, there is no way it can be done so fast!
Not to mention that every paper is published in the top journals, and there may be a so-called "watermark" hidden in each paper.
Really, although everyone is writing water papers now, who has ever heard of such a water method being published in a top publication?
But Daniel is, after all, a former Fields Medal winner, a senior fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, and an academician of the National Academy of Sciences.
If Qiao Ze's paper hadn't really moved him, he wouldn't have posted such a Facebook post out of the blue.
Not to mention that everyone familiar with it knows that the relationship between Daniel and Lot Dugan, the editor-in-chief of "Annals of Mathematics" is not good.
So of course it is impossible to say this just to block the gun for "Annals of Mathematics".
So after countless people forwarded it, Qiao Ze's second paper confirmed to be published in the "Annals of Mathematics" once again aroused great interest in the mathematics circle.
Even Robert Stephens, a great figure in mathematics who basically only has a Facebook and has never made a splash, was exposed.
Few took to Facebook and left a "?" in Daniel's comments section.
Well, this "?" at least means that he knows about it, and there is a high probability that he will read Qiao Ze's paper as soon as possible.
Most of the foreign mathematics circles are still watching the excitement and waiting to see whether Qiao Ze's paper can really convince others in two days.
When Daniel's Facebook screenshot was sent back to China, it immediately caused a stir in mainstream Chinese academic circles.
…
"Is this a compliment?"
"No, no, no, whether to praise or not is another matter. Let me first tell you what happened with these two papers? @张hongcai, you said before that you went to Xilin in June. What topic was Qiao Ze working on at that time?"
“Group Theory Causal Decoupling.”
"Let me put it into perspective, he was working on group theory-related topics in mid-June, and the paper was published in July. In August, he seemed to have published two scientific papers, which were later withdrawn for unknown reasons. So even if he only started working on Fei'a in August Research on Bell gauge field solutions, two papers published in "Annals of Mathematics" in October?"
"exaggerate!"
"Actually, if you say this, it's not too flattering. This speed is indeed enough to qualify for a teaching position at Princeton, and becoming an academician is about the same."
"I'm thinking, this seems to be a defense of the "Annual Review of Mathematics", but in fact it is just trying to poach people, right?"
"I have long said that Xilin University of Technology cannot retain people at all."
"@张红cai, you have been in contact with that Qiao Ze, do you think these papers are really written by him?"
"I don't know. I only know that he gave me a question the day before yesterday. I haven't thought it through yet. I'll send it to you."
"..."
