After careful consideration, Qiao Yu felt that this matter should not be rushed. At least he should wait until next month to attend the meeting. It would be in his best interest to solve this problem in front of as many mathematicians as possible.

Therefore, no matter from any angle, the proof of the geometric Langlands conjecture cannot be put online so soon. But he promised Professor Pan that as soon as he thinks of the proof method, he will call the other party to inform him.

Qiao Yu would never tolerate being dishonest to those who had helped him...so Qiao Yu quickly made a decision.

This idea is on hold for now.

As long as he doesn't continue to think about how to prove it, he doesn't know whether this method is right or not, so if he doesn't call for the time being, he can't be considered as breaking his promise. Perfect!

Writing the paper first is the most important thing at the moment, and you still have to prioritize things...

At the same time, across the ocean, Princeton University.

Zhang Shuwen stood in front of Lot Dugan's office door, raised his hand and knocked on the door. "Please come in."

After hearing Dean Dugan's voice, Zhang Shuwen nodded slightly to the secretary next to him before pushing the door open and entering.

Zhang Shuwen respects the dean of the Princeton School of Mathematics very much, not only because he also serves as the editor-in-chief of Ann. Math, but also because Lot Dugan has helped them, professors of Chinese origin, to block a lot of official harassment over the years.

Some things that shouldn't happen are happening, but at least they are being kept out of the campus. Of course, this may be related to the fact that he has been doing mathematical theoretical research and has never encountered applications. In short, the world is becoming crazy, and Let many good intentions become precious.

"Good morning, Professor Dugan."

"Hi, good morning, sit down. Well, do you need a cup of coffee? You know, I'm not used to drinking tea, so I only have coffee. Anyway, it's just to get caffeine. I think your Chinese tea ceremony is better than making coffee. Waste of time.

"Coffee is fine. In fact, the tedious steps you see in making tea are mainly to provide a place for people with money and leisure to communicate. It's the same as when you invite people to eat French food. Generally, we just drink tea casually. Bubbles."

"Haha, really? It seems that I still don't know enough about Chinese culture. Maybe I should go and understand this country more deeply." Zhang Shuwen smiled and then sat on the sofa.

After a while, the secretary knocked on the door and came in, bringing in a cup of freshly brewed coffee.

This is a hot drink that is rare in this country. Although it is a little bitter, if he only wants a glass of water, it will definitely be cold.

In early April, although spring has arrived in Princeton, the temperature in the morning is usually still in the single digits. Under such temperature conditions, Zhang Shuwen refuses to drink a glass of cold water in the morning.

"Okay, Professor Dugan, what's the reason you called me here specifically? "What else is there? About Qiao Yu."

"Um? Didn't I pass his manuscript? Hey... I still remember that I rated him as having excellent mathematical intuition and impeccable proof ideas." Zhang Shuwen couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth when he mentioned this.

This was the first time he reviewed a manuscript for Ann.Math, and the editor kept urging him to review it quickly because other reviewers had already given their review comments. The manuscript was published by a sixteen-year-old student from Huaxia.

The only pity is that Qiao Yu is not his student; what's even more annoying is that although he has his email address, Qiao Yu has not written him an email yet.

"Haha, it's not because of the paper. The paper is already being typed. After it is printed, I decided to give him a sample of the issue signed by me and hand it to him in person." Lot Dugan said with a smile.

Zhang Shuwen was a little envious. If he had been treated like this when he was sixteen, he would have been so happy that he went crazy, right? I don't know what Qiao Yu's expression would be like.

But it is a pity that no one is young anymore. Now he often gets documents signed by Lot Dugan himself...it is no longer possible for him to have any psychological fluctuations. "In person? Are you planning to go to China in the near future?" Zhang Shuwen asked. sentence.

"No, no, no, don't you know yet? The organizing committee of the Algebraic Geometry Conference to be held in Paris next month has sent a formal invitation to Qiao Yu, and he will give a thirty-minute lecture. I plan to go to Paris to listen His report meeting, by the way, Schulz will also be attending. I hope you can also take time to go.

If you get to know that kid, maybe we can communicate more smoothly. Well, although Tian will definitely go, but considering that I want to talk to Qiao Yu about whether he is interested in studying for a Ph.D. in Princeton in the future. The old guys at the Institute for Advanced Study Guys, many people are interested in Qiao Yu.

Lot Dugan replied.

The century-old glory of the Princeton School of Mathematics is due to the accumulation of mathematical geniuses.

If such a student has the experience of studying abroad at Princeton, it means that there is a high probability that there will be another Fields Medal winner among the Princeton alumni.

You must know that even Princeton does not have many such top mathematics awards. If you only count alumni, there are only six people so far. If you include professors and researchers at the Institute for Advanced Study, this number only increases to 15 .

Of course, this data is enough to make people proud, at least it is unique among Ivy League universities.

Although Princeton is only a quarter of the size of Harvard University, and far smaller than Yale, which is also an Ivy League school, Harvard University has only four Fields Medal alumni so far, while Yale has only three.

As for Columbia University, which is famous in China, there are only two of them.

On the other hand, Massachusetts, which is not in the Ivy League, is on par with Princeton and has six Fields Medal winners. Therefore, private universities like Princeton are also extremely hungry for talents.

Especially Qiao Yu, a highly gifted mathematical talent. He can produce great results without spending much effort on training... It can only be said that everyone likes things that can be done with low investment and high output.

Talent training is no exception.

"Qiao Yu, a thirty-minute report at the World Congress on Algebraic Geometry?" Zhang Shuwen frowned, but soon relaxed. Considering Qiao Yu's age, he subconsciously thought of the word "praise or death".

However, considering the recent commotion that Qiao Yu has caused in the mathematics community, I feel that it is not too much for him to give a three-minute report at the meeting.

Whether it was the paper published in Ann.Math on exploring the upper bounds of rational numbers on curves or finding out the flaws and deficiencies in the proof of the geometric Langlands conjecture, Qiao Yu had enough reasons to appear on the stage of this conference.

But if you poach people...

"Yes, aren't you happy? He represents China now." Lot Dugan shrugged.

Zhang Shuwen smiled and said: "I'm very happy. I don't mind introducing you to him then, but I think you will be disappointed. As far as I know, more than one person has asked Qiao Yu before if he plans to study abroad.

But he refused them all.

On the one hand, because he has to take care of his mother. You may not know that he grew up in a single-parent family, and you can see that he values ​​family very much. On the other hand, if he is Tian's student, he can be taken care of by Professor Yuan.

, coupled with his learning ability...

Zhang Shuwen didn't say what he said next, but the meaning was already obvious. Why should Qiao Yu have to go abroad and suffer when he can live a more prosperous life in China?

For Qiao Yu, the only benefit of studying abroad is probably to broaden his horizons and get closer to the most mainstream thinking in the mathematics world.

But in this Internet age, Qiao Yu can fully understand the quasi-complete theory proposed by Schulz by reading Peter Schulz's paper, and can directly apply it. This so-called only benefit does not seem so necessary.

"We have to give it a try, maybe we can exchange it? Everyone should learn more about the world while they are young." Obviously Lot Dugan had a different view. Zhang Shuwen smiled and did not continue to argue.

The vaccine has been taken, so the old man can't blame him if he is not invited. Anyway, if he is invited to the conference next month, he will definitely not say this.

In fact, if it were ten years ago, even if Lot Dugan didn't say it, Zhang Shuwen would have given Qiao Yu advice that he must come here to study abroad. Since he is at the forefront of the world's mathematics community, he can work quietly without being disturbed by the outside world.

Do learning.

Moreover, Tian Yanzhen was still young at that time. To be honest, Zhang Shuwen was not that reassured about Tian Yanzhen.

But today, ten years later, Zhang Shuwen cannot say such things. The external environment is changing, and people living in it feel it more clearly.

"Well, it seems that you are not optimistic about Princeton's attraction to Qiao Yu. I thought you would be very interested in my idea. You would also give me some advice. After all, you Chinese people must understand each other better.

The old man complained somewhat depressedly.

Zhang Shuwen picked up the coffee and covered his expression.

No wonder she called him specifically for such a small matter instead of talking to him on the phone.

After putting down the coffee, Zhang Shuwen suddenly asked: "Did you suggest to the organizing committee that Qiao Yu participate in this algebraic geometry conference? Lott Dugan shook his head and said: "No, it was Peter Schulz, and

It was jointly recommended by several other professors."

Zhang Shuwen said seriously: "Then now you not only have to consider whether Qiao Yu is willing to go to Princeton, you know. Qiao Yu seems to be particularly interested in Schulz's theory. Maybe Schulz will find a way to bring Qiao Yu to Princeton." Yula went to the University of Bonn.

Lot Dugan was startled, and then suddenly realized that this seemed very possible. In many cases, tutors are much more attractive to students than schools.

Not to mention a world-renowned mentor like Peter Schulz.

But what can he do? He can't rob Peter Schulz to come to Princeton, right? He would like to, but he is staying well in Germany and has a family, so there is a high probability that he will not be willing to travel across seven or eight years. After traveling a thousand kilometers, I ran to Princeton to re-adapt to the environment.

"Okay, Professor Zhang, you can take the coffee away and drink it." Feeling helpless, Lott Dugan directly issued an eviction order. Zhang Shuwen stood up with the coffee without any surprise and pointed at Lott Dugan. Gen smiled, and then left so easily. The old man's eccentric temper was known throughout the Mathematics College. He was not surprised at all that he would be expelled, and he was in a good mood.

After all, China has produced a genius boy, and he may become a leader in mathematics in the future. There is no doubt that this is something to be happy about.

To be honest, Tian Yanzhen has been very happy these past two days. Many times, taking a step back, the world is brighter than just talk.

Tian Yanzhen has been feeling this way recently. Since the last time he appeared in the Century Lecture Hall of Huaqing University Library, many people have called him in the past two days and sent messages. Most of them are insinuating something.

Tian Yanzhen also gave a positive answer, there is no need to be secretive and petty.

In fact, just seeing that neither the Yanbei International Mathematics Research Center, which cooperates with Yanbei University, nor the Huaqing Yuan Zhengxin Mathematics Research Center, which cooperates with Huaqing University, has spoken out to refute the rumors from various self-media reports on the Internet, it already explains a lot.

In fact, in many places in the professional field, big companies in society are often better than universities.

But from the perspective of public relations, although the strategies often used by Chinese universities are suspected of being copied mechanically from textbooks, they are far more properly handled than those of large companies.

Be silent when you should be silent and speak when you should speak. Even if you cannot handle public opinion in a timely manner, at least you will not make many magical operations that fuel negative public opinion. Especially the two top universities, Yanbei and Huaqing.

In fact, there have been a lot of negative public opinions in recent years, but most of the impact is controllable. The various processing methods are far more professional than some of the world's top 500 companies. In short, from this cooperative training between the two major digital research centers, many people have taken a whiff of it. I had some inexplicable taste, and I paid more attention to this name.

This is what Tian Yan really wants to see.

If it were another child, he might still be afraid that too much pressure would have the opposite effect. But after these few months of contact, Tian Yanzhen has no such worries at all.

Qiao Yu's psychological adjustment ability and adaptability are very strong. This kind of person can often develop more amazing creativity in a stressful environment. He is a member of the anti-stress body. In a non-stressful environment, he may also have a tendency to slack off. .

As for the first formal project that Qiao Yu took on, it was from Huaqing, Tian Yanzhen didn't care. After all, the name listed on Qiao Yu's first independent paper was the Yanbei International Mathematics Research Center.

Even if the research project is successful, when the paper is published, the company will still be the company, and no one can change this.

Tian Yanzhen only negotiated a series of conditions with Mr. Yuan after Qiao Yu's academic status was transferred to Yanbei University. Naturally, he still got a diploma from Yanbei University for his undergraduate degree. But Qiao Yu will adopt a special "1+1" system during his continuous study for master's degree and doctoral degree. "Joint training model.

In addition, funding for all Qiao Yu's research projects during the master's and doctoral stages will be shared between the two parties.

That is, during the combined master's and doctoral studies, Qiao Yu will study in Yanbei and Huaqing, and conduct research for a period of time. When he graduates with his PhD, he will directly receive the graduate diploma and doctoral degree certificate issued by the two mathematical research centers.

In short, he had the upper hand, so he had the initiative. Even if the opponent was unwilling, he had no choice but to admit it.

At this time, Tian Yanzhen was sitting in the car in a relaxed mood, flipping through the newspaper. There was an important meeting at the Academy of Sciences today, so Tian Yanzhen did not go directly to the Numerical Research Center. The phone placed beside him suddenly rang.

Tian Yanzhen glanced at the monitor, answered the phone, and said, "Professor Zhang, good morning."

"Hello, Professor Tian, ​​I am calling you specifically to thank you. Your student Qiao Yu is really efficient. The results of the preliminary test have come out today and the problem has been completely solved. It really helped this time I'm very busy."

"Ah? Has it been resolved?" Tian Yan was a little surprised. Qiao Yu hadn't reported this matter to him yet.
