"Hiss~ This paper is indeed not simple.

Just by looking at the first few pages, you can see that the author's argument is clear and logical, and his proof of concept is clever and concise.

The method he developed can be quickly applied to corresponding fields, and new proofs of some existing non-trivial conclusions can be given in the early stage. He made an extraordinary observation on the fourth page...

Yes, yes, I haven't seen a paper of this level for a long time.

Huh?

It's been an hour. Sorry, I was so absorbed in watching it that I didn't pay attention to the time. You should go back first and I'll take some time to read the rest carefully."

After watching for an hour, Deligne felt his neck was a little sore. After twisting his neck, he said to Kaz excitedly.

When he was halfway through speaking, he realized that an hour had passed since Katz first arrived, and Katz was still here, and he hurriedly said to him.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'll leave first."

After hearing Sir Deligne say such words and the tone in which he said these words, Katz was also very excited, because it was very likely that he would witness a conjecture turn into a theorem, and it was very likely that he would be the author except the author.

The first person to read this paper.

After Kaz left, Deligne made himself a cup of coffee, picked up a pen and paper, and began to read through and do calculations.

As expected, different people read papers at different speeds. Deligne only spent one day and read Zhao Xiancai's paper in the evening.

Although he had only read it once, Deligne was able to initially confirm that there was nothing wrong with the paper by this scholar from China that proved Erdös's arithmetic sequence conjecture.

If this scholar was in Princeton, he would definitely go find him now and chat with him until dawn.

“In 2012, Germany produced a genius in the field of arithmetic, algebra, and geometry. Now, in just three years, China has produced such a scholar. I just don’t know how old this scholar is now.

If he's not too old now, he might be able to get Fields in the next class."

Thinking of this, Deligne first contacted Katz and told him his views on the paper about proving Erdös's arithmetic sequence conjecture, and told him that once he knew more information about Zhao Xiancai, he would definitely contact him.

To tell him.

After that, Deligne read Zhao Xiancai's paper a second time.

…

The reply to Zhao Xiancai from the Annals of Mathematics was also very fast. Normally, this journal takes one year from submission to publication, but this time Zhao Xiancai’s article was reviewed in less than a week, setting a new record for the Annals of Mathematics.

The fastest record of approval in 130 years.

During this period, the editors on the editorial board of the Annual Journal of Mathematics also knew that the scholar who wrote such a paper was actually only a student under the age of twenty.

At this time, Deligne also read Zhao Xiancai's paper in more detail. In his opinion, Zhao Xiancai is very likely to win the next Fields Medal with this paper on the proof of Erdös's arithmetic sequence conjecture.

One of the winners.

Therefore, in the email Zhao Xiancai received, there was not only an acceptance email from the Annual Journal of Mathematics, but also an email from Princeton University asking him to study for a PhD with them, and the email also stated that an

A letter written by Sir Deligne's own hand was rushing towards him.

The so-called phd originally referred to a doctorate in philosophy, but now it generally refers to an academic research doctorate.

As for the "professional degree" doctors that are gradually emerging in China, they are generally not called PhDs, but each major has its own abbreviation.

To make this clear, it is still a bit complicated. Usually, most of the graduate students in China refer to graduate students in a narrow sense, which is equivalent to a master's degree.

In fact, in a broad sense, postgraduate is the collective name for masters and doctoral students. The full name is master's degree and doctoral degree. Master's degree and doctoral degree plus undergraduate degree are actually three main degrees.

Moreover, a master's degree is not actually an upgraded version of a doctorate. Although many disciplines do this, in fact, a doctorate and a master's degree are in a parallel relationship.

In other words, after you graduate from your undergraduate degree, you can actually apply for a phd. You do not need to go through the master's stage. The master's degree is mainly for employment-oriented learning and training, and only the doctoral phd is for preparation for research.

It’s just that now master’s degrees are also divided into academic master’s degrees and professional master’s degrees.

In fact, the PhD is more like the combined master's and doctoral programs currently offered in China, and the PhD invitation sent to Zhao Xiancai from Princeton University was to let him study for a PhD with them after completing his undergraduate studies in China.

After Zhao Xiancai received the acceptance email from the Mathematics Annual, he also received a message completion prompt from the system.

When he first received the assignment, Zhao Xiancai really never thought that his task of "publishing a paper in a top mathematics journal before graduating from college" could be completed earlier than the task of "completing all professional courses in the major chosen by the undergraduate."

.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the mission, gaining 500 1764 points and 3220 math experience points].

After seeing the rewards for this mission, although there were still only points and mathematical experience points, Zhao Xiancai was still very happy, because this time the basic points increased directly from 100 last time to 500, plus the additional 1764 points,

He now has more than 3,000 points.

Zhao Xiancai believed that he would spend the rest of his time studying undergraduate courses in mathematics, and he believed that it would not be long before he could complete another task in the system.

Just when Zhao Xiancai was still happy about having more than 3,000 points, his cell phone rang.

Taking out his cell phone and looking at it, Zhao Xiancai discovered that the call was actually from the dean of the School of Science and Technology.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Zhao Xiancai, do you have time now?"

After pressing the answer button, Zhao Xiancai didn't even have time to say "hello". Dean Yang on the other end of the phone said to Zhao Xiancai.

"Yes." Zhao Xiancai replied.

"Then come to my office now."

Yang Gang said again.

"Okay, Dean, I'll go over now."

Zhao Xiancai could tell from the tone of Yang Gang's words that he was trying to suppress his excitement. It was probably because his paper was known to the dean through the Annual Journal of Mathematics.

"Come on, sit down.

When your paper was uploaded to arxiv, Teacher Yan told me about it, but I was busy at that time and didn't have time to read it.

Unexpectedly, after only a few days of delay, your paper has already passed the review of the Annual Journal of Mathematics. I have never seen any of the four major journals publish manuscripts so quickly before..."

When Zhao Xiancai came to the dean's office, Yang Gang said to Zhao Xiancai with a beaming face, the more outstanding Zhao Xiancai's achievements were, the more it showed how unique his vision was when he attracted Zhao Xiancai.

Faced with the fact that the dean called him here specifically for the purpose of praising him personally, Zhao Xiancai was really uncomfortable and just said a few words of polite humility.

"Isn't your first paper focused on integral equations? Why did you suddenly start studying number theory again?"

Yang Gang asked Zhao Xiancai again.

Regarding such questions, Zhao Xiancai's reply was almost the same as before.

"How are you doing with your other undergraduate majors now? A professor suggested that you be awarded a bachelor's degree and a diploma directly when you graduate from your sophomore year, and then you can find a tutor to study for a master's degree and a Ph.D. in order to get a doctorate certificate as soon as possible.

However, I would like to hear your opinion."

Soon, Yang Gang asked Zhao Xiancai again.
