Chapter 683 I didnt expect that mathematical analysis can also be used to combat academic fraud!(1/2)
Obadiah Sean, a professor of mathematics at the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris, was in a good mood. He was standing by the window, looking at the ancient campus scenery outside the window, while making a phone call with a relaxed expression:
"Mr. Williamson, the "Journal of the American Mathematical Society" just replied to the email. My paper "Results of Research on N-S Equations by Applying Infinite Flow Algorithm and Local Gaussian Algorithm to Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations" has been approved. It has passed the preliminary review stage and is now entering the peer expert review stage.”
"Don't worry, there won't be any surprises at this stage. Given the professional level of my paper, it will definitely pass the expert review. It is only a matter of time before it is published."
"Retaliation? Don't worry at all. The female Fields Medal winner from Xia Guo is not very good. She was just lucky to win the Fields Medal. She has no ability to refute my thesis. To be honest, if this paper was not submitted to The four top journals in the international mathematics community are afraid that the manuscript will be rejected if her words are too strong. I am even sure that she will become autistic and dare not show her face in the mathematics community again. "
Obadiah Sean sipped the fragrant freshly brewed coffee in his cup and said arrogantly:
"When the paper is published, I will really use my strength in the media interviews to severely attack her arrogance and let her know that the Fields Medal is a patent for Westerners, and that Easterners like her are not qualified at all. With such a dazzling title!"
Having said this, Obadiah Sean's tone suddenly softened, his arrogance and arrogance disappeared for the most part, and he became a little more flattering:
"By the way, you and Mr. Johnston talked about sponsorship last time... Oh, will you transfer the first-phase sponsorship after the paper is published? Thank you so much!"
After hanging up the phone, Obadiah Sean couldn't help but waved his fist excitedly. The first tranche of five million francs will soon be available!
One paper earned five million francs! And there will be a second issue!
He was in a better mood, and even the annoying chirping of birds outside the window sounded particularly pleasant.
"Humph, so what if the Annals of Mathematics rejected my manuscript? I thought no other journal dared to publish my paper? Look, didn't the Journal of the American Mathematical Society accept it? Haha, I really want to see Faltings What would that old rip-off look like if he knew this news!" A sneer appeared on Obadiah Shawn's lips.
He had long known that Faltings, the editor-in-chief of the "Annals of Mathematics", had a good relationship with the two famous young mathematics masters in Xia Guo. This time, he chose to submit the article to the "Annals of Mathematics" first. It was just asking for advice. After half a year, Ning Qingyun, who had not made any news, still had much influence. As expected, the "Annals of Mathematics" rejected the manuscript on the grounds of inappropriate remarks and bad conduct.
Obadiah Shawn wanted to laugh when he thought of this reason.
What age is it? Are you still making inappropriate remarks and behaving badly?
In this era, traffic is king, and only with attention can you make money!
If you keep immersing yourself in research, when will you be able to get ahead? When will you be able to make money?
You must know that there is no shortage of anything in the mathematics world, but there is no shortage of geniuses!
To stand out among countless geniuses is dozens of times more difficult than making money in stocks!
These are the inner thoughts of Obadiah Sean. He considers himself to be very advanced. He graduated from the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris with a doctorate at the age of twenty-five and successfully stayed at the school. However, he later became a lecturer for three years before he was reluctantly promoted to an associate professor.
Then I hung on to the title of associate professor for five whole years without even touching the edge of a full professor!
This is certainly related to his failure to publish any high-quality papers, but it also has a lot to do with the fierce competition at the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris.
The turning point in his fate came one day. Because he was depressed, he was trolling people everywhere on the Internet. He accidentally got into a quarrel with a young mathematician from India in a mathematics forum. He made the other person angry with his fierce and bitter words
I can barely take care of myself, yet I became famous in the forum and was popular among many people.
After this incident, Obadiah Sean keenly discovered a famous shortcut, and from then on he embarked on the path of trolling to defy the sky and the earth.
Of course, his goal is very clear. He will only choose mathematicians from non-developed countries, especially those from second- and third-rate Eastern countries.
Cannon. The mathematical level of these countries is generally lagging behind. With its strength, the winning rate is higher, and it can also attract the favor of those Westerners who have always rejected Eastern countries.
As he expected, when he publicly used his papers to refute and ridicule several popular Eastern mathematicians, his reputation rose rapidly. Funders began to come to him, providing financial support and giving him lists of names to refute.
people……
But Obadiah Sean is not an all-rounder, and such a high level of "fighting" is too demanding for all-round academic skills. For the sake of profit, he gritted his teeth and simply took risks, secretly buying gun manuscripts to complete the financial backing.
task.
As time went by, he also had nine fixed and powerful "shooters" in his hands. He also gained a reputation as a "genius mathematician" in the academic circles of the country, and he also won several small prizes.
As his reputation soared and interested people built momentum, the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris had to give him the title of full professor under pressure from all sides.
Obadiah Sean became more arrogant and bolder. First he attacked Ramanujan, the late great mathematician who was famous in the international mathematics community. Later, with the secret support of his sponsor, he even
Directly launch a verbal attack on Wu Baozhu, the living Filipino-Vietnamese award boss.
Of course, the big names in the Philippine Prize also wrote papers before they became famous. For example, the papers published when they were undergraduates and graduate students were relatively immature and could not be impeccable. Obadiah Sean took advantage of these early papers and successfully succeeded.
It created quite a stir and forced Wu Baozhu to retreat.
For a time, Obadiah Shawn's popularity was at its peak. I don't know how many people hated him but couldn't do anything about him.
However, despite the fact that Obadiah Shawn seems to be "powerful", many mathematicians from second- and third-rate countries become pale after hearing his name, but Obadiah Shawn also has people whom he does not dare to offend easily.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! That is Qin Ke of Xia Kingdom.
From a theoretical point of view, this young man from the Eastern country is extremely famous in the international mathematics community and has also won the Phil Medal. He is an excellent candidate for success. But Obadiah Sean can't resist!
All the papers this guy has published have no flaws at all! He can't even understand some of the papers!
Even if there are three mathematics papers that are said to be published by Qin Ke in high school, Obadiah Sean and his team of shooters have been studying them for several months, but they can't find any exploitable loopholes!
It is true that Obadiah Sean is an academic rogue, but there are no flaws in the other party's paper, so he can't get away with it! If he were to criticize him, the paper he wrote would have errors and omissions. How could he publish it in a well-known academic journal? Review experts
It’s not a decoration!
Moreover, Obadiah Sean was vaguely afraid of Qin Ke. The papers published by one person did not even have the slightest loophole. What kind of terrifying existence is this?
Can't afford to offend.
Because of his fear of Qin Ke, he did not dare to attack Qin Ke's girlfriend Ning Qingyun, because most of Ning Qingyun's papers were co-authored with Qin Ke, and the remaining papers he wrote alone were also of high standard, especially
Thesis papers of graduate students and doctoral students also have no vulnerabilities that can be exploited.
It wasn't until July of this year that a financial backer offered a large sum of 10 million, with the goal of attacking the mathematical community in Xia State, preferably to defeat the reputation of representative young mathematicians.
If you really can't attack from the paper, you can also attack it in the media, but the funding amount will be much smaller.
Obadiah Sean was finally moved, especially after discovering that in the past six months, Qin Ke and Ning Qingjun, after winning the Fields Medal, had almost "disappeared" in the international mathematics community, and had neither accepted international
They have not been interviewed by the media and have not published any mathematics papers. Judging from the information returned, they have focused all their energy on physics.
This emboldened Obadiah Sean, and he decided to attack these two people he had never wanted to provoke, so that he could better attack the mathematics community in Xia and achieve the requirements of the funders!
He gathered the strength of the gunmen, and while conducting a secondary amplification "screening" of Ning Qingyun's unique papers, he personally quarreled with Qin Qin in the form of interviews in some unpopular academic media.
gram……
Except for the rejection of the manuscript by the "Annals of Mathematics", everything went smoothly, especially
Obadiah Shawn was even more encouraged when he learned that the Journal of the American Mathematical Society had accepted his paper that satirized Ning Qingjun.
This means that Ning Qingyun’s international influence has indeed declined since he has not shown up for a long time and has not published academic results!
On the contrary, when this paper is published in one of the top four international journals, Obadiah Sean's international influence will reach a new level!
Thinking of this, Obadiah Shawn became energetic, sat back in front of the computer, and began to write a press release to be published in the academic media, intending to use his most cunning and harsh rhetoric to step on Ning.
Qingjun did a few tricks in exchange for the second installment of 5 million francs in funding...
Just as he was typing on the keyboard excitedly, typing faster and faster, and getting more excited as he typed, the phone suddenly rang.
Obadiah Shawn smacked his lips impatiently. It was very disappointing to be interrupted when his thoughts were flowing.
When he looked at the caller ID, it was Assistant Crook.
"Crook, if you're just calling me to talk about trivial matters, your bonus this month will be ruined!" Obadiah Shawn answered the phone and cursed.
How could a crazy troll who was used to blaming the sky, the earth, and the air be a good-tempered person? If it weren't for the fact that the salary he usually offered was pretty good, Crook wouldn't have stayed and suffered from his anger.
But at this time, Crook couldn't care less about criticizing his boss's bad attitude. He was sweating profusely and stammered: "Old... boss, you... open arXiv quickly!"
"arXiv?" Obadiah Sean frowned. Isn't this a website for uploading papers for pre-collection? Many people will publish the latest research results on it to "take advantage of it." He also has an account on it and posts
He had read some papers, but the main battlefield of his usual quarrels was not on them. He opened the website and cursed: "You don't want to say it directly? If you are wasting my time, you will die..."
Before he could say the last word "already", he was stunned.
Because he saw that on the headline recommendation on the homepage of arXiv, it was written in English "Obadiah Sean, a famous mathematician from China"!
related to me?
Obadiah Sean's English level is very good. When he saw the title, he had a vague intuition that something was not good. He clicked on the title and looked at the author out of habit.
"Qinke? This is...Qinke! Fa Keyou! It's Qinke from Xia Kingdom!"
Obadiah Sean almost jumped out of his seat. Because of the excessive movement, his knee hit the desk. The excruciating pain made him gasp and grimace.
But he didn't bother to rub the injured area and went straight to read the content of the article.
After just reading the beginning, Obadiah Sean felt a chill rising from his back, making him completely forget about the pain in his knees.
Except for the fact that the title of this damn article does not look like a paper, the rest of it is completely written in the format of a debate paper, including summary, keywords, text, notes, references, etc., everything is missing!
He is very familiar with this kind of paper, because this kind of paper mainly focuses on other people's opinions on a certain academic issue in a certain subject. With sufficient arguments, it focuses on exposing its shortcomings or errors, and uses the form of debate to express what he thinks is more important.
Excellent point of view and conclusion. "Academic trolls" like him have used it no less than fifty times!
"Summary:"
"The famous Chinese mathematician Obadiah Shawn is a very famous "genius mathematician", and he is famous for publishing argumentative papers to refute and criticize other people's academic achievements. After preliminary research, the author found that Obadiah Sean
Mr. Sean's papers involve nearly thirty sub-subjects including algebraic geometry, number theory, differential equations, functional analysis, linear algebra, group theory, rings, mapping geometry, Riemannian geometry, probability theory, etc.
He is an extremely rare generalist mathematician in the past and present in different subdivision directions, and his achievements in each subdivision direction are extraordinary."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Among the mathematics masters I know, the only one who has such a wealth of knowledge and is proficient in so many subdivisions is Professor Tao Zhexuan, the Fields Medal winner. In order to be sure
Mr. Obadiah Shawn’s mathematics level is
Whether it can be compared with Professor Tao, the author specially studied the fifty-nine single-authored papers published by Mr. Obadiah Shawn."
