Chapter 288 The person who digs the wall (for last month 8)

The familiar figure obviously also discovered Chen Zhou.

He walked to Chen Zhou with a smile.

Chen Zhou greeted him politely: "Professor Zhang, what a coincidence. Are you here to go shopping in the street stalls too?"

Zhang Shouwu looked around and found that these people were indeed setting up street stalls.

He laughed softly and said, "Chen Zhou, you are finally here."

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhou quipped, "Professor Zhang, it's not long before we separate?"

"You boy, I know what I'm talking about." Zhang Shouwu said with a smile.

Chen Zhou smiled and turned to say, "Let's chat while walking?"

Zhang Shouwu thought about it and said that the first report meeting today was also about number theory, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's go."

There are not many people in the auditorium.

Chen Zhou and Zhang Shouwu found a position in the middle and waited for the start of the report meeting.

"Chen Zhou." Zhang Shouwu looked like he wanted to speak but stopped.

Chen Zhou couldn't help but smile: "Professor Zhang, we are so familiar with each other, just say whatever you have."

"I really don't consider coming to Princeton?" Zhang Shouwu once again sent an invitation to Chen Zhou.

Although the two invitations in Qiu Sai were rejected by Chen Zhou.

But Zhang Shouwu really hopes that Chen Zhou can come to Princeton and continue to study mathematics.

Princeton is undoubtedly the mathematical center of the current world.

Princeton University also has the best mathematics department in the world.

In a sense, Princeton also has a mathematical heritage.

Because Princeton's World Mathematics Center was established, it was inherited from the Göttingen School.

As we all know, the Göttingen School is a school that has long dominated the development of world mathematics science.

The Göttingen School is also a school that has emerged in many powerful people.

If it weren't for the war, it might be that the World Mathematics Center is still in Europe.

The prince of mathematics, Gauss, began the beginning of the Gottingen Mathematics School, and he took modern mathematics to a new level.

Later, Riemann, Dilicre and Jacobia inherited Gauss' work and contributed in the fields of algebra, geometry, number theory and analysis.

Klein and Hilbert entered the Göttingen School of Mathematics in Germany to its heyday, and the University of Göttingen became an international center for mathematical research and education.

People like von Neumann, Weil, Artin all came from the Göttingen school.

Including Einstein, he also worked at the University of Göttingen.

However, as the war progressed, talents were transferred.

If you list a partial list of mathematicians and physicists who went to the United States to take refuge from Germany, including Austria, Hungary and other countries, you can see a look at the transfer of talents.

With Weill and von Neumann as professor at the Princeton Institute of Advanced Studies in the United States, Ke Lang taught at New York University and founded the world-renowned Institute of Applied Mathematics.

American mathematics has become the world's leading position, while Princeton replaced Gottingen as the center of world mathematics, until today.

Like Faltings, Delinie and Langlands, who helped Chen Zhou review the manuscript this time, are all Princeton professors.

"Maybe I can... make trouble?" Chen Zhou said while thinking, "I like more challenges, not just in mathematics!"

Zhang Shouwu was stunned. He didn't expect Chen Zhou to say such a reason.

But this... can't Princeton give you a challenge?

"But Princeton's other disciplines are not weaker than MIT. I know you have a minor in physics. I can tell you with certainty that Princeton's physics department is definitely better than MIT!" Zhang Shouwu said with a little excitement.

The talent Chen Zhou showed in numbers theory is definitely worthy of his further study in Princeton!

He didn't want Chen Zhou to give up this talent.

Moreover, even if you want to do physics at the same time, Princeton should be your first choice?

There is no other reason, just one reason.

This is the school where Einstein works, so I ask if you are enough?

Chen Zhou was a little overwhelmed. Professor Zhang’s purpose today is to... poach?

But this is MIT?

Moreover, Chen Zhou himself felt that for him, the difference between MIT and Princeton was not very big.

If we really talk about honors, MIT has produced 97 Nobel Prize winners, 8 Fields Medal winners, and 26 Turing Prize winners.

Princeton has produced 68 Nobel Prize winners, 15 Fields Medal winners, and 14 Turing Prize winners.

If you look at it this way, MIT is strong in science? Princeton is strong in mathematics?

Of course, this is just a comparison of the number of awards.

Just like every Nobel Prize winner, his contributions are not comparable to a single prize.

MIT and Princeton should not compare it alone from honors.

"That..." Chen Zhou glanced at the reporter on the stage, who was about to start, and said to Zhang Shouwu, "Professor Zhang, let me consider it again."

Zhang Shouwu glanced at Chen Zhou and sighed softly: "Okay, then you think carefully. I still sincerely hope you can come to Princeton!"

"Yes." Chen Zhou nodded and turned his eyes to the podium.

This is a young mathematician who is about 40 years old. The main content of his report this time is about l-function problems in the field of number theory.

Generally, for mathematical object x, the complex sequence {λx(n)}n=1→∞ can be defined.

Just like l(s,x)=n=1→∞∑λx(n)/n^s,rs?1.

And the Dirichlet series with Euler's product can be called the l-function about x.

According to Professor Langlands' report at the International Conference of Mathematicians, there are three main parts to study an l-function.

They are analytical extension, distribution of zero points, and values ​​of special points.

There are too many conjectures involved here.

Like the Artin conjecture, the Riemann conjecture, the BSD conjecture, etc.

The research of the reporter in front of him is to study the distribution problem of the imaginary part of the zero point under the hypothesis of Riemann.

It's not the style that Chen Zhou likes, but it doesn't prevent him from listening.

Stones from other mountains can be used to polish jade.

Chen Zhou had never attended any class after the first half of his freshman year.

This report gave him some feeling of listening to the lecture.

However, Chen Zhou was surprised that the report meeting had begun, so why did so many people come?

Are all academic conferences so open nowadays?

Doesn't everyone pay attention to it?

Seeing that Chen Zhou was listening seriously, Zhang Shouwu couldn't help but sigh again. It would be left to his teacher, Professor Faltings.

Zhang Shouwu was also turned to the reporter on the stage by his attention.

The young professors on the stage thought that many big shots would appear.

It turned out that the seats below the stage were not full.

He was not much depressed, but instead breathed a sigh of relief.

In this case, the qa link will be simple.

Obviously, his tone gradually became relaxed and his speaking speed increased a lot.
Chapter completed!
