Chapter 923: It’s so happy and painful to have a god-level mentor!
Although Qin Ke paid little attention to the response to this "new geometry" paper, the mathematical community will never ignore the great significance of "the complete unification of algebra and geometry" and "laying the foundation for a unified theoretical framework of mathematics".
Just when Qin Ke, Ning Qingjun, Edward Witten, Lao Tao, and Mr. Qiu returned to the garden villa of Qingmu University in a vehicle arranged by Wei Feng, the sensation caused by these two papers was growing abroad.
Especially since many famous mathematics professors and mathematics masters have commented on the preprint version of arXiv, it has aroused the interest of countless people.
Among these comments, the speech of Professor Unamuno, a "tenured professor" at the Technical University of Munich, winner of the "Leibniz Prize", and winner of the "Wolf Prize in Mathematics", attracted the most attention:
"I am Unamuno. I have just spent two days reading this paper on 'New Geometry'. As a person who has pursued the unification of mathematics as his lifelong research goal, he has devoted twenty to thirty years of research energy
As a professor of mathematics in the Langlands Programme, I felt very complicated at this time. Because I found that the development potential of this 'new geometry' in the unification of mathematics, the completeness of the system, and the compatibility between algebra and geometry were far away.
It far exceeds the Langlands Program. I am heartbroken for my decades of research efforts, and I am also excited about the future of unified mathematics with greater hope of success."
"Academician Qin Ke is a mathematician I admire very much. At the Steele Prize award ceremony, I invited him to join me in my research project on the unification of mathematics, but at that time he was modest and needed to continue.
I regret that he declined my invitation by studying more and accumulating knowledge. But now it seems that his refusal is not a bad thing for the mathematics community. At least he will lead the team in the direction of Grothendieck algebraic geometry starting this year.
The 'new geometry' created by him is most likely the most correct principle."
"In the following research, I have decided to abandon the Langlands field and choose to study and master this 'new geometry' in depth. I know very well that the great goal of the unification of mathematics can no longer be achieved in my hands.
But I really want to see how Academician Qin Ke and his team will use 'new geometry' to win the Holy Grail of mathematics in the future."
"Finally, I sincerely congratulate Academician Qin Ke and his team, and I am happy that the mathematics community can usher in a new future."
Professor Unamuno is extremely famous in the international mathematics community. He has always been famous for his fanatical pursuit of the "unification of mathematics". He is especially famous for the Langlands Program, second only to Mr. Langlands himself, and for proving the Langlands Program.
It is as famous as Wu Baozhu, the Fields Medal winner of the Fundamental Lemma.
Therefore, in today's world of mathematics, if one wants to talk about the "unification of mathematics", no one can avoid the name of Professor Unamuno.
Another famous American algebraic geometer, Professor Friedrich Rosenberg of Harvard University, also made a very high evaluation: "I have read it for two days and only seen more than 70 pages.
I have read more than 5,000 papers, and this is the only paper that allowed me to learn something new on every page, and to read every page carefully and repeatedly. I will put down the work at hand and read it carefully.
Research, continue to spend a month studying this paper, and strive to fully understand this 'new geometry'. This indeed has such important value."
Seeing that both Professor Unamuno and Professor Rosenberg praised this "new geometry" so highly, some mathematicians who couldn't understand and were screaming quickly shut their mouths.
The speeches of the two celebrities also triggered a new round of discussion frenzy. On social platforms such as Facebook and Twitter, as well as on mathematics forums, comments about these two papers were overwhelming and completely occupied the traffic.
Of course, there is no lack of media from various countries adding fuel to the fire and getting a share of the traffic.
The international media are reporting this event crazily, so you can often see relevant news and reporters interviewing mathematicians on TV stations in various countries.
For example, the famous "London Times" conducted an interview with Rod Fletcher, Secretary General of the Executive Committee of IMU (International Mathematical Union).
Reporter: "Secretary-General Fletcher, what is IMU's comment on the two papers recently uploaded to arXiv by Academician Xia Guoqinke's team?"
Rod Fletcher: "We at IMU also attach great importance to these two papers and mobilize a large number of experts in algebraic geometry to study them."
Reporter: "Can you tell us whether IMU has received a review request from the Annals of Mathematics? According to past experience, millennium conjectures such as the Riemann Hypothesis are submitted to IMU for expert review by relevant journals.
of."
Rod Fletcher: "Yes, we have received relevant applications, but the difficulty of both papers is very high, especially the second paper that proves the Hodge conjecture. It is difficult to find suitable experts for review.
.At present, we still mobilize famous mathematicians from all over the world to study these two papers, and then select suitable review experts."
Reporter: “How long do you estimate it will take for the review results to be issued?”
Rod Fletcher: "It seems that the most suitable reviewers were the authors of these two papers and the mathematical masters mentioned in the 'Acknowledgments'. Now we can only find others, although Una
Professor Muno, Professor Friedrich Rosenberg and other mathematicians have already agreed to be review experts, but it will take a lot of time to select more than 20 people. If review time is included, it is estimated that the fastest
The review results won’t be released until next year.”
Reporter: “Secretary-General Fletcher, Professor Unamuno and Professor Friedrich Rosenberg you just mentioned have spoken highly of these two papers. Many people in the industry also think that these two papers
This paper is correct, what do you think about this?”
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Rod Fletcher: "It is difficult to directly conclude that there are no errors or omissions in any professional academic paper that has not been collectively reviewed by peer experts, but the team of Academician Qin Ke
They are basically leaders in the international mathematics community, and I personally am more optimistic about these two papers."
Reporter: "May I ask Secretary-General Fletcher? Obviously, the chances of both papers passing the review are very high. Whether they create 'new geometry' or prove the 'Hodge Conjecture', they are both achievements that have a huge impact on the mathematics community.
At the International Congress of Mathematicians at the end of this year, will IMU consider awarding the author of the paper a second Fields Medal?"
Rod Fletcher: "We at IMU have never had a precedent of awarding the Fields Medal twice, but there is no doubt that even aside from the results of these two papers, Academician Qin Ke and Academician Ning Qingjun of Xia Guo have previously
The dazzling mathematical results achieved and the huge contribution made to the development of mathematics deserve our highest respect from IMU."
Reporter: "IMU's most prestigious honor is the Fields Medal. Do you mean that IMU will break this precedent and award the Fields Medal to Academician Qin Ke and Academician Ning Qingjun again?"
Rod Fletcher: "The matter is of great importance. We still need to hold serious internal meetings to discuss and study it. Please wait for the answer to be announced at the International Congress of Mathematicians in November this year."
It has to be said that Rod Fletcher, the Secretary General of IMU, is quite qualified. This last answer has filled this year's International Congress of Mathematicians with suspense and greatly enhanced IMU's presence. With the interview video
The spread of it, and the discussions related to it are also extremely heated. Some people think that "even the Nobel Prize has been awarded to the same winner twice. Why can't IMU's Fields Medal be an exception?", and others think that "the Nobel Prize has been awarded to the same winner twice.
IMU still has many major awards, such as the Chern Medal, the Gauss Medal, etc. It may not make an exception to award the Fields Medal for the second time."
The final result of the constant controversy is that countless people are naturally curious about whether IMU will make an exception and award a second Fields Medal. The number of people who decided to watch the International Congress of Mathematicians award ceremony has exceeded 200 million.
.
The one that is most able to join in the fun and work flexibly is the World Food Prize Foundation. It soon publicly announced that the "World Food Prize" award ceremony originally scheduled to be held in the United States in August this year will be postponed to November 1.
It was held in Des Moines, Iowa, at the beginning of the month, and the reason was very considerate. "It will allow Academician Qin Ke and Academician Ning Qingjun to waste less time flying to the United States to receive the award, and have more time to devote to research."
above".
The timing of this award was just before the International Congress of Mathematicians. It attracted enough popularity, and it was really thoughtful, so it gained a lot of popularity.
In fact, the World Food Prize Foundation has been forced to do nothing. You must know that although the "World Food Prize" is the world's number one "plant award", with a prize of up to 250,000 US dollars, but botany is actually a little less popular, and its reputation
It is not even as good as the Cole Prize for Number Theory in the American mathematics community, so it has to use this method to increase its popularity.
…
It's so lively abroad, and naturally it can't stop at home either.
With various reports and interpretations in the media, related topics have long occupied the top of the hot search list. Thanks to this popularity, even ordinary high school students roughly understand what "new geometry" is, and "the unification of mathematics"
What it is, it suddenly set off a craze for learning mathematics.
The atmosphere in Qingmu University was equally enthusiastic. Even though they were used to seeing the two young academicians from their own school being "super gods", the results achieved this time were so exaggerated that they still became the topic of discussion for countless students in the dining hall. They left the campus
, when I mentioned this matter to other relatives and friends, I also looked proud and kept saying, "How about our Academician Qin, Academician Ning?"
As the first generation students of Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun, even the doctoral students Dirk Hill, master students Liang Shaoping and Luslan Baker, who were the best in mathematics, felt a lot of pressure.
Having two incredible mentors is certainly something worth bragging about and celebrating, but when the mentors have already ascended to the status of gods, as a student, you are left with nothing but admiring emotions and tremendous pressure.
After all, with such a dazzling but extremely low-key tutor, students like them receive extra attention, and at the same time they have to accept the critical eyes of the people around them. Not only are they cautious in their words and deeds, not daring to make any mistakes to avoid embarrassing the tutor, they also have to
While studying, make sure to understand the achievements of your instructor, so as not to be unable to answer when someone asks, which would be a real embarrassment to your grandma’s house.
Of course, the worst offenders are Jiang Xiaopang, Hua Manting and other physics students. When their former basic science class classmates see them, they will ask, "What's so great about that new geometry?" and "What's the idea of proving Hodge's conjecture?"
I can’t understand Ke Ge’s paper at all, so I’m relying on your help to explain it”…
But both "New Geometry" and "Hodge's Conjecture" are too difficult. Dirk Hill, a Ph.D. student in mathematics, can only understand a superficial understanding, let alone a master's degree student in physics like Jiang Xiaopang.
Well, their understanding of it is really not that good.
Later, after listening to Gu Yanfei and Ximen Hui's "crying", Ning Qingyun smiled and helped write a "thesis key points" of more than a thousand words. Jiang Xiaopang and others felt like they had found a treasure. No matter whether they could understand it or not, they had to memorize it first.
Let’s just use it to fool people...
Alas, so having a god-level mentor is both a blessing and a pain.
…
For Qin Ke, the real benefit of this successful creation of "New Geometry" is not the further improvement and consolidation of his reputation, nor the fact that the big shots at the top regard him as a treasure, an unparalleled national scholar in the world, but the salvation of the god of learning.
Rewards and recognition from the world system.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host! After independent learning and research, the host successfully led the team to expand and improve 'algebraic geometry', laying the core foundation for the self-developed unified theoretical framework of mathematics, which has produced immeasurable and significant positive effects on the development of the mathematics community.
Impact, the 'grades make me improve' assessment score is 'S level'! The 'grades make me progress' function takes effect, your academic points (mathematics) are 40,000!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This time it is a full 40,000 academic points!
Qin Ke was overjoyed. You should know that he only got 10,000 math points for his hard work in solving a world-class Millennium Mathematics Problem. The reward he received this time was equivalent to solving four Millennium Mathematics Problems!
With the issuance of 40,000 math points, his math upgrade progress bar has jumped a lot, and he is only one step away from reaching the level.
"Mathematics level: Grandmaster level, next level: God of Mathematics level, upgrade progress: 92672/100000"
There are only about 7,000 points left to reach the highest level of mathematics, the "God of Mathematics Level".
He only needs to wait for the international academic community, especially IMU, to hold a review meeting and publicly announce that he and Ning Qingyun have proved the "Hodge Conjecture", and he will be able to get another 10,000 academic points and max out his mathematics level!
——Although according to the reward rules of the original system, Qin Ke himself has S-level knowledge "Revealing the Hodge Conjecture" in hand, which proves that it is impossible to obtain rewards for the Hodge Conjecture, but Qin Ke uses a different S-level system than the above.
Knowledge, a brand-new "new geometry" to prove Hodge's conjecture, is different.
According to Qin Ke's estimation, the system has a high probability of issuing these 10,000 point rewards.
He was sitting on the sofa, happily looking at the system interface, and teasing Xiaoxiao and Zhengzheng, when he suddenly heard Qin Xiaoke say in surprise: "Brother, sister-in-law, come over and take a look, Grandpa Wang, come on
TV!”
Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun subconsciously looked up and saw an interview program being played on the TV.
The interview subject is none other than their teacher, Academician Wang Henglao, a great master of number theory who is nearly ninety years old.
Presumably because the media could not interview Qin Ke, Ning Qingyun, Lao Tao, Edward and other people directly related to them, they interviewed various figures in the field of mathematics. Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun's teacher, Academician Wang Heng, was naturally the
One of the best interview subjects.
Academician Wang Heng has long been indifferent to fame and fortune, but as a man in the world, there are always favors that cannot be avoided, so he finally accepted a brief interview with the "Xiaguo Academic Journal", in which he described the significance of the unification of mathematics.
, and the prospect of this "new geometry" as the core of the unified theoretical framework of mathematics.
