"Ou Ye's TOEFL score is a little lower than mine, gre is a little higher than mine, gpa and me are the same as 4.0."

"My scientific research experience is not as rich as Ou Ye. I only published one paper, which I wrote with Ou Ye."

"If Ou Ye performs normally during the interview, I shouldn't have anything to do with me."

Zhou Yuan explained the situation in China to Shen Qi.

"Oh, that's it." Shen Qi guessed the same way. If Ou Ye's oral expression skills were met, she might be so nervous that she couldn't even say anything.

After finishing the call with Zhou Yuan, Shen Qi called Ou Ye to confirm the situation.

Sure enough, Ou Ye's written scores were excellent, but the interview was screwed up.

During the entire interview, almost Princeton’s interviewer was talking, and Ou Ye occasionally answered a few words.

The interviewer went crazy and gave Ou Ye the lowest interview score.

"The question he asked is so strange, I, I..." Ou Ye was almost crying on the other end of the phone.

"Don't be anxious, don't panic, let me think about it." His woman was anxious, Shen Qi must not be anxious. If both of them were anxious, then there would be no salvation.

"You will continue to apply to the Mathematics Department of General University next quarter. Are you sure? I guess it's still a bit unlucky, and the interview is stuck there." Shen Qi looked a little solemn.

"Then...what should I do?" Ou Ye lacked social experience and she was helpless.

"Did you also apply to other American universities besides Princeton?" Shen Qi asked in a calm tone.

Ou Ye: "No."

"You...oh, this is very Ouye." Shen Qi had no choice but to take Ouye. He walked back and forth in the apartment, thinking about countermeasures: "There is still time now. Xiao Yezi, listen to me and submit application documents to other prestigious schools around Princeton on the East Coast of the United States."

Ou Ye: "But I want to go to Puda."

"The situation is special, let's settle for the second best. My little leaf! New York University and Columbia University's mathematics department are also very strong. New York is very close to Princeton, just like driving from the capital to Langfang. I can often go to New York to see you. It's nothing. Many people who work in the capital still live in Langfang. As long as you have a car in the United States, this is not a problem. I bought a Chevrolet, and the traffic problem has been solved." Shen Qi came up with a compromise solution.

Suddenly, Shen Qi had a sudden idea: "By the way, our senior brother Gong Changwei is a professor in the Department of Mathematics of Brotherhood University. You can apply to his postgraduate student! Senior brother Changwei is an expert in number theory, and it happens to match your major!"

"Hurry Ou Ye, apply for the Mathematics Department of Columbia University immediately! If you are lucky, you will be able to study in New York in January next year. You will stay with Senior Brother Changwei for a year or two, and then come to Princeton to study for a doctorate. Everything will be fine when you arrive in the United States. I will help you arrange everything about Princeton to study for a doctorate. I will ask you Ou Ye, do you listen to me?"

"Listen, I'll listen to you."

The young couple reached an agreement. Ou Ye first went to Columbia University to study for a graduate student, and then went to Princeton to study for a doctorate.

There is no way, who made Ou Ye unable to pass the interview?

This kind of strategy to save love is the best strategy that Shen Qi can think of at present.

So the question is, Columbia University in New York City is also a prestigious Ivy League school, and their family will definitely give Ou Ye a pass score in the interview?

This requires a deeper understanding.

"Professor Muller, I don't know if there is such a system. You are personally interviewing an interviewer and interviewing a Chinese student? She is a very excellent math genius." Shen Qi did not give up. He made preparations and immediately found Professor Muller, hoping that Professor Muller would recruit Ou Ye to Princeton directly.

"I'm very sorry, Shen Qi, there is no such regulation, at least in Princeton. The enrollment systems of New York University and Columbia University are relatively flexible, so you can let her try it." Professor Muller explained that when it comes to recruiting foreign undergraduate students to study for graduate school, the professors of this school only do a written academic score assessment of the student and do not participate in the interview. The interview is organized by a professional interviewer.

Shen Qi has Gong Changwei’s contact information. Last year, the two exchanged business cards when they held the “Ivy Number Theory Seminar”.

Before contacting Gong Changwei, Shen Qi first greeted Sun Erxiong and asked Sun Erxiong to help him out.

When Gong Changwei heard this, he immediately made a decision. Ou Ye is a good student, and I have an impression of her. She and Shen Qi jointly published "The Proof of the Wash Conjecture of the Diopantu Equation". No problem, let Ou Ye come to Brother University to study for my graduate school. I will interview her in person and have a video interview.

Shen Qi was relieved. Gong Changwei was personally an interviewer, at least he would not deliberately make things difficult for Junior Sister Yan.

Moreover, Ou Ye’s written results are here, and she is a calculation girl who focuses on number theory, and it is very suitable to learn from the number theory expert Gong Changwei.

In September, Shen Qi became a doctoral student in the Department of Mathematics at Princeton University.

At the same time, in China, Ou Ye and Zhou Yuan entered their senior year. They made preparations respectively to report to Columbia University and Princeton University in January next year.

While waiting for Ou Ye, Dr. Shen decided to do some meaningful and interesting academic research.

This interesting idea comes from an unexpected discovery.

Shen Qi was originally looking for a paper published by Faltings in the early 1980s. In this paper, Faltings proved a theorem, thus laying the foundation for him to prove the Model conjecture one year later.

It is precisely because it proves the Model conjecture that Faltings was very popular in the 1980s and won the Fields Medal.

Faltings currently works in Princeton and is the editor-in-chief of the Mathematics Annual.

Shen Qi searched for the old paper of the big bull Faltings in order to do a meaningful study. He needed to cite the paper of Faltings as material.

In this mathematical journal published in the early 1980s, Shen Qi discovered an interesting secret, which was another paper.

The authors of this interesting paper are two people, Allen Mueller, and Tony Manning.

Shen Qi didn't know which great god Tony Manning was, but he knew that Allen Muller was his master's supervisor + doctoral supervisor Professor Muller.

Allen Mueller and Tony Manning, two mathematical researchers, jointly published this paper in 1982 on the study of the Banach space.

The Banach Space is a popular research direction that has been around for decades.

In this paper on Banach Space, Allen Muller and Tony Manning claimed that they proved an amazing theorem and named it "Muller-Manning theorem".

However, in Shen Qi's impression, he had never heard of the mathematical theorem related to "Muller-Manning". The combination of the names of these two people looks more like a human name reaction in organic chemical synthesis.

"Muller-Manning theorem" describes it like this:

If x is the Banach space and x* is the conjugated space of x, then the appeal is equivalent:

(1) If x*∈s(x*) reaches its norm on s(x), then x* is the * concave point of the unit sphere b(x*);

(2) x is a strong and smooth space;

(3) Each *closed convex set of x* is the close-close Chebishev set.

"So Professor Muller, you and Mr. Manning, unilaterally claim to prove this theorem?" Shen Qi asked very curiously.

I am really curious. More than thirty years have passed, and Imu has not recognized the so-called "Muller-Manning theorem".

What situation does mathematicians around the world have spent more than 30 years and have not yet verified the proof results of the "Muller-Manning theorem"?

"This is the early research result of Manning and I. At that time, we thought it must be correct, but now I find that there are actually loopholes." Professor Muller said unbearable to look back, as if he did something stupid when he was young.

Shen Qi expressed his own point of view: "I think there is no problem with the description of this theorem. Of course, it can only be regarded as a hypothesis before it is thoroughly proved. If I were asked to complete the proof, I think I have a new attempt to make up for the loopholes and try to be rigorous and perfect as much as possible, and finally get the recognition of Imu."

"Then you try it, I will work with you to re-engage the proof work, the proof work of the 21st century. If we succeed, it will be rewritten as the 'Muller-Shen theorem'."

"What about Mr. Manning? If I took his place, would he have any objections? Or would it be more appropriate to change it to the mms theorem?" Shen Qi made a suggestion and respect the academic status of the original author.

"This bastard who was killed by heaven...he was already dead ten years ago." Professor Muller suddenly gritted his teeth, looking sad and frustrated.

"May Mr. Manning be in heaven." Shen Qi expressed regret that a great mathematician unfortunately died ten years ago.

"Heaven? This bastard must have gone to hell! There is no mms theorem, only Mueller-Shen theorem. Let's start this project that spans the century, Dr. Shen Qi."
Chapter completed!
