Ultimate Scholar

Chapter 252 Wolf Award Ceremony

Following Tao Zhexuan's post, it immediately attracted many netizens to reply.

After all, as the first Fields Medal winner to comment on the internalization space of external force sources proposed by Li Mu in this report, his comments are naturally quite authoritative.

Especially for him, a great mathematician who "knows a little bit about everything".

Ever since, under this post, netizens from all walks of life rushed to reply.

The same mathematics professor from UCLA as Terence Tao, McKinley was the first to give a reply: [I bought it, Tao, have you already read it? This new space is actually so powerful? I'm going to watch it now. 】

And a professor of mathematics from Princeton University also gave a reply: [I just study this aspect. I have to say that Tao’s comment is very pertinent. This new space has great significance for the study of geometry. Very meaningful effect, although in the thesis, Li only needs to put forward the effect in physics to internalize the external force into the nature of the space itself, but in fact, any external factor can be used, so from this On the one hand, I think it would be more accurate to call this space the space of exogenous internalization.

At the same time, as Tao said, this space is of great help to the study of the Navier-Stokes equation, at least for the direct numerical simulation of DNS, it should be of great help, allowing the direct numerical simulation The simulation results are more accurate.

Other functions still need some research, but I think this new space will be a boon for the study of fluid mechanics. 】

...

With the appearance of a number of mathematics professors, and even the comments of several other Fields Medal winners, almost half of the mathematics world will know how powerful this external force source is to internalize the space. up.

There are many people who study geometry. In other words, if you study mathematics, you must study geometry. After all, there are only two branches of mathematics, namely algebra and geometry, so the status of geometry in mathematics is naturally needless to say.

It's like the oldest and most classic masterpiece in mathematics, called "Elements of Geometry".

And the study of geometry must study space, Euclidean space, non-Euclidean space, Minkowski space, etc., all belong to it, and each of these spaces has its own function.

Euclidean space is the skeleton of nature, and nature is in the framework of Euclidean space. Non-Euclidean space mainly studies Roche space and Riemann space. This is a mathematically abstract space that can help mathematicians solve problems in mathematics. Some problems, while the Minkowski space is specially prepared for the study of relativity, it can be said that it was born specially for the study of relativity.

Now, Li Mu's space also has its special function, which can reduce the complexity of fluid research and analysis, and help mathematicians analyze the properties and laws of motion of fluids from a more convenient angle.

In this way, three months before the official start of the International Conference of Mathematicians, Li Mu's report has already aroused discussions in the entire mathematics community.

And at this time, there was a problem that aroused the common attention of the mathematics community.

[Why did Li Mu suddenly study fluids? 】

As we all know, as long as Li Mu researches something, he must make a big one.

The purely instrumental things like Li's space basically serve the big one he wants to build.

So now, what is Li Mu planning to study?

At this time, as Li Mu's mentor and now a colleague, Andrew Wiles was asked about this matter by many people.

Facing these questions, Andrew Wiles often gives a mysterious answer.

"Li Mu's research has never been aimless, and all his work is often carried out for a certain truth."

If others feel that his answer to this sentence is too unclear and continue to ask, he will give a second sentence.

"As for this issue, I can only say that I understand everything I know, and I can't say too much about those I don't understand, so I understand everything I know."

For Wiles' reply, people naturally hated their teeth itching.

But no matter what, it also made everyone very curious about Li Mu's research.

Could it be that he really wants to make a big deal?

In this way, the topic of "What exactly is Li Mu studying?" unexpectedly became a hot topic of discussion in the mathematics circle.

Of course, since it has something to do with fluids, in the end, all guesses will directly point to the ultimate problem of fluid mechanics, the Navier-Stokes equation.

...

"The proof of the hail conjecture tells us that seemingly simple laws also have complex principles."

"The proof of the twin prime number conjecture tells us that seemingly irregular distributions can eventually use mathematics to find the rules of their existence."

"The proof of Goldbach's conjecture tells us that there is no pearl that cannot be taken off in the world of mathematics, and our mathematics is endless."

"And Li Mu told us that there are no unsolvable problems in mathematics. If there are, it means that our research is not deep enough and the angle of thinking is not wide enough."

The time has come to June.

Jerusalem, on the rostrum of a grand ceremony.

The chairman of the Wolf Foundation, James Wolf, stood on it and announced the award speech loudly.

The award ceremony for the Wolf Prize began on this day.

The magnificent hall, next to which there is a philharmonic orchestra playing beautiful classical music, brings atmosphere to this moment of focus.

A whole word, high class.

Of course, when science was born, those who were able to study science were basically regarded as members of the upper class, so this was considered a tradition.

And what is being awarded now is the Wolf Prize in Mathematics.

"Professor Li Mu is like a miracle. He suddenly rises in the academic world, and solves various problems that the academic world has never understood and solved one after another. We can't help but be amazed by it. Genius is always incomprehensible."

"The Wolf Prize in Mathematics is honored to be recognized by scholars in the field of mathematics as one of the most important awards in the field of mathematics, and such an award should be bestowed on a mathematician like Li Mu who has added glory to the entire field of mathematics."

"So, I announce that this year's Wolf Prize winner in Mathematics is—"

"Li Mu!"

James Wolf smiled, and there was warm applause in his hands.

Of course, at the same time, everyone in the audience applauded in unison, cheering for this moment.

In the face of the achievement that can make all mathematics scholars feel desperate, no one can stand up and question whether the winner is reasonable.

Under the stage, Li Mu, who was sitting at the front table, stood up with a smile on his face. He nodded to all the eyes and congratulations around him, and smiled back: "Thank you, Thanks."

Then, dressed in formal attire, he stood upright and walked onto the rostrum.

"Congratulations, dear Lee."

James Wolf smiled and stretched out his hand to Li Mu, congratulating him.

"I am also grateful to the Wolf Foundation for its recognition of my past achievements."

Li Mu shook hands with the chairman of the Wolf Foundation, and said with a smile.

James shook his head again and again and said: "No, no, you are humble. It is masters like you who have given the Wolf Prize its current status in academia. We also want to thank you for constantly bringing human wisdom to the world. Take it to a higher peak."

"Okay, in this case, I think we don't need to say any more, and then let's officially start awarding."

James said, and then he turned his head to look at the certificate on the tray of the hostess next to him.

The prize of the Wolf Award is a certificate and a prize of 100,000 U.S. dollars. With this 100,000 U.S. dollars in prize money, it is also the key to this award being famous among major awards.

James picked up the certificate and handed it to Li Mu.

"Congratulations, you have become another winner of our Wolf Prize in Mathematics. I hope this honor can help you create more brilliance in your scientific career."
