...

On the other side, Xu Chuan didn't think much at all.

After calling his parents, he called his sister Xu Xiao, fulfilled her wish and agreed to take her to the Nobel Prize award ceremony. After that, he hung up the phone with a smile and put away the phone.

cell phone.

As for the others, it's late at night now, so just reply to the message tomorrow.

But as soon as the phone was put into my pocket, the phone rang again.

This time the call came from Princeton, and the person who called him was Fefferman, the chairman of the mathematics department at Princeton.

Xu Chuan couldn't miss Fefferman's call, so he answered the call with a smile.

"Congratulations, Professor Xu Chuan."

Fefferman's voice came from the phone, smiling and congratulating.

Even at Princeton, winning the Nobel Prize is an extremely honorable thing.

As of today, Princeton University has produced a total of twenty-five, no, it should be twenty-six Nobel Prize winners.

Of course, if you include Princeton’s history alumni, professors, and researchers, this number will rise to sixty-eight.

In addition, there are fifteen Fields Medal winners. Combined, there are nearly a hundred outstanding alumni.

But Xu Chuan was the first to win both the Fields Medal and the Nobel Prize.

More importantly, this is not only the first double winner of the Fields Medal and the Nobel Prize in history, but also broke the record of the youngest winner of the double prize in history.

At the age of 21, he won the Fields Medal and the Nobel Prize at the same time. This is a brilliant achievement that no one will be able to touch in the next hundred years.

Xu Chuan smiled and replied: "Thank you, I'm very happy too."

On the opposite side, Fefferman smiled and joked: "Do you know? In the outside world, do mathematicians call your award this time?"

"What?" Xu Chuan asked curiously.

"Nobel Prize in Mathematics!" Fefferman replied with a smile.

"Uh..." Xu Chuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "There is no Nobel Prize in Mathematics."

It is a well-known fact that there is no Nobel Prize for mathematics.

A popular rumor is that Nobel once had a feud with the Swedish mathematician Mita Levler due to personal relationship issues, so there is no mathematics prize.

What is even more interesting is that Fields, who later proposed the establishment of a mathematics medal, had a deep friendship with the master Mitta-Leffler.

Therefore, the establishment of the Fields Medal is often interpreted as Fields venting his anger on Mita Levler.

Of course, these are just some folklore stories, and there is no evidence that there is any grudge between Nobel and Mita-Leffler.

In fact, as a leader in the Swedish scientific community, Mita-Leffler actively participated in the work related to the Nobel Prize. It was with his strong recommendation that the Nobel Prize awarded the first theoretical physicist—

—Lorenz, and the first woman to win the prize—Marie Curie.

However, it is a fact that there is no Nobel Prize for mathematics, and it is also a pity for most mathematicians.

Fefferman shrugged and said: "Of course we know, but you are the first to win the Nobel Prize in Physics for your achievements in the field of pure mathematics."

"You have to know that although the extended application of Xu-Weyl-Berry's theorem is used in astrophysics calculations, it is a purely mathematical tool, isn't it?"

Hearing this, Xu Chuan was stunned again, and said with a strange expression: "No wonder Professor Staffan Nomark, Secretary General of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, asked me to change the 'Extended Application of the Xu-Weyl-berry Theorem' to

The name, it sounds a bit too much like a mathematical result."

Fefferman laughed and said: "Hahaha, if I were you, I would ignore them and let mathematics take root from now on and win the Nobel Prize in Physics."

Xu Chuan smiled and said: "I did not pay much attention to this achievement before, and I never thought of giving it a name, but after winning the Nobel Prize, it still needs a name of its own."

Fefferman smiled and said: "It's up to you, but from the perspective of the mathematics community, this is a mathematician who won the Nobel Prize, and your name won't change their minds."

After a pause, Fefferman then asked: "By the way, do you have any research on the NS equation?"

Xu Chuan thought for a while and said: "I have some ideas, but I don't have time to study them for the time being. I have some other projects on hand right now."

Hearing this, Fefferman said regretfully: "It seems that you will probably not return to Princeton. What a pity. We are planning to hold a celebration party for you here."

Xu Chuan smiled and said: "There will be opportunities in the future."
