Great Country Academician

Hearing Xu Chuan's praise and affirmative answer, the tense atmosphere in the office disappeared immediately.

Amelia's crescent-like eyes were bent, and the corners of her mouth curled up in a happy arc.

For her, this is undoubtedly the best answer in the world.

"Thank you for your teaching." Squinting the crescent moon, Amelia said with a smile, her blue eyes full of gratitude.

Indeed, for her, the decision she made at Princeton completely changed her destiny.

If she had entered Princeton to study according to her father's arrangement, it would be hard to imagine that she would be able to complete a proof of a world-class mathematical conjecture today.

Although Princeton is indeed very strong, not every student who comes out of Princeton can achieve breakthroughs and dreams in their respective fields.

And here, she took this crucial step.

Of course, she who walked all the way to the end knows better than anyone how much help the young mentor in front of her has given her, and she also knows how powerful her mentor is.

Whether it is mathematics or physics, for him, as long as there is a question, it seems that there is an answer.

Looking at the manuscript paper in his hand, and then at Amelia and Gu Bing standing in front of him, Xu Chuan smiled gratifiedly, as if seeing a child he had worked so hard to raise.

The difficulty of Bloch's conjecture, if it is to be ranked, is almost at the T3 level. For example, the Weyl-Berry conjecture he studied is lower, which may be similar to the twin prime number conjecture, and perhaps a little more difficult.

However, its name is not as big as the twin prime number guess, but its significance to the mathematical community is quite important. Because the normal family of functions is widely used in complex variable function theory.

Of course, if you want to talk about difficulty, it may be a little harder than the twin prime number conjecture if the mathematical tool "algebraic variety and group mapping tool" does not exist.

But after the emergence of this mathematical tool, the difficulty has been reduced a lot.

When he was studying Hodge's conjecture, the bridge he built in the three disciplines of algebraic geometry, analysis and topology greatly reduced the difficulty of Bloch's conjecture, which is a difficult problem similar to Hodge's conjecture.

Two years is actually enough for some people in the mathematics community to accept and digest this mathematical tool.

In the days to come, even without Amelia and Gu Bing, other people are likely to solve this problem.

After all, when a new mathematical tool is born, solving the mathematical problems it can solve is actually just a matter of waiting for time to ferment.

Just like Peter Schultz's "P·S Advancement-Geometric Theory" tool, after it is completed, it is only a matter of time to make further breakthroughs in the Langlands program.

Of course, in any case, it is not easy for them to use a mathematical tool to solve a T3 mathematical conjecture.

After all, algebraic variety and group mapping tools have appeared in the mathematics world for two years, but so far, except for Amelia and Gu Bing, I have not heard of anyone else using this work to solve problems similar to the Hodge conjecture. Make a major breakthrough.

At least, they are already better than 99.99% of mathematicians, and they can be called a great 'mathematician'.

I have to say that this is indeed a different kind of sense of accomplishment, and it can be said that it is not weaker than him solving a difficult problem himself.

Smiling, Xu Chuan said: "Instead of thanking me, you should thank yourself more, thank you for your hard work and study in the past two and a half years."

"What I provide is just a direction and a platform. It is you who go on this road and delve into it."

Wei Wei paused for a moment, and then he continued: "For this paper, have you thought about the goal of submitting to a journal?"

Amelia shook her head and said, "I haven't thought about it yet, professor, do you have any recommendations?"

Xu Chuan thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Annual of Mathematics, Bloch's conjecture is not a very popular research field, but its difficulty is not low. I believe "Annual of Mathematics" will be very pleasantly surprised by your submissions. .”

"Of course, if you and Gu Bing have other choices, that's fine too. But I suggest trying to choose among the four major journals, because it's worth it."

After listening to Xu Chuan's suggestion, Amelia nodded seriously, and said, "I will discuss it with Senior Brother Gu Bing."

Xu Chuan smiled, glanced at the two of them and asked, "When your papers pass the review, that's when you graduate from me. Have you ever thought about where to work after graduation? Or, do you need my help to recommend you?" for a while?"

Although the paper hadn't been published yet, he could basically give a positive answer after reading it. It was just waiting for the two of them to graduate.

Hearing this, Amelia replied without thinking: "If I'm working, I shouldn't be able to work for the time being. Don't I still have to learn mathematical and physical calculation methods from your professor?"

Slightly stunned, Xu Chuan remembered that he had promised her to teach mathematical and physical calculation methods before, and said with a smile: "It is possible. But it is best to combine learning mathematical and physical calculation methods with practice."

"Well, I'll contact some high-energy physics experiment institutes at that time, and maybe I can let you do an internship. Including CERN, after the upgrade is completed, you can also join in the exploration and search of dark matter and dark energy."

Hearing this, Amelia curled the corners of her mouth happily: "Then I will trouble the professor."

When she first entered Princeton, she chose mathematical physics as her direction, and her goal was to work in a high-energy physics experiment institution.

And although the path she took in the past two years was slightly deviated, she has now returned to the original plan.

It would be great if you can enter CERN as a formal researcher.

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "It's nothing."

After a pause, he looked at Gu Bing and asked, "What about you? Gu Bing, do you have any ideas?"

On the opposite side, Gu Bing smiled and said: "Although I really want to continue to study with you like Amelia, but I know my own situation, and I have almost reached the ceiling to reach this step."

"After graduation, I'm going to go out and find a job."

Although I thought about continuing to study mathematics before, but Naihe's own conditions did not allow it.

After studying with Xu Chuan for two and a half years, he also saw clearly the gap between himself and a real genius, not to mention comparing himself with his mentor, but comparing himself with Amelia and even the new junior brother Cai Peng. , he is far inferior.

Amelia is also the one who studies Bloch's conjecture with Amelia and contributes more.

If you want to calculate the proportion, his contribution to the whole problem can account for at most one-third.

He is very clear about where his limit is, and now he has let go of it.

Although compared to most people, he is already quite a genius.

Being able to solve a world problem before the age of 30, although it is a cooperation, this qualification can be said to be the top batch no matter whether it is placed in China or abroad.

Among other things, no university would reject his job application, including Princeton.

But people are different, and there are gaps.

Especially after following Xu Chuan, Gu Bing was deeply aware of this point. Following such a mentor, the circle of contact has been infinitely elevated.

After realizing this, he chose to leave to find a job.

After all, he is not young anymore. He was almost twenty-six when he applied for a doctoral degree under Xu Chuan's name, and now two and a half years later, he is almost thirty.

Starting a family and starting a business, these things are already things he needs to consider.

Of course, compared to most people, he is actually luckier.

He knew this himself, so Gu Bing was very grateful for being able to study with Xu Chuan for two and a half years.

Hearing Gu Bing's choice, Xu Chuan was not too surprised. He nodded with a smile and said, "That's fine. Is there any place you want to go?"

Hearing this, Gu Bing scratched his head shyly and said, "Well, Dean Rong talked to me before. If I graduate from your professor, he invited me to stay in Nantah University as a professor of mathematics."

"Compared with other jobs outside, I think the campus is more suitable for me. I think the salary conditions offered by Nantah University are also very good."

"Staying in Nantah University is also closer to the professor. Although I am going to leave, I will continue to study mathematics. If I encounter any problems in the future, I can also talk to the professor."

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "That's good, as long as you have a choice."

I have to say that Nantah University still has vision and knows that its students have a bright future.

He also supports Gu Bing's choice.

Although he is not as talented as Amelia and others, being able to cooperate to complete the proof of Bloch's conjecture shows that he still has mathematical ability and talent.

Staying at Nantah University, although Nantah University's mathematics is much weaker than that of Shuimu Peking University, but the environment is relatively much cleaner, and you can study mathematics with a purer mind.

Now he is twenty-eight years old, and there are more than ten years until he is forty-five years old. Maybe he still has hope to make some breakthroughs in mathematics.

And after proving Bloch's guess, the salary offered by Nantah University will not be low, which is a good choice.

PS: There is another chapter tonight, ask for a monthly pass!
