Pierre Delini nodded. He had to say that Lot Dugan, the editor-in-chief of the Annual Journal of Mathematics, was indeed professional in selecting reviewers.

Among the reviewers are experts in number theory, experts in algebraic geometry and the Langlands Program, experts in modular form, thinkers in cross-field mathematics, and an expert in calculation and experimental verification, who are enough to conduct a comprehensive review of this paper.

Yes, it is not often the case that a paper has six reviewers. Pierre Delini feels that these two papers do deserve such careful treatment.

After all, this means that number theory research will enter a completely new field starting from this, no, these two papers.

After approving Lot Dugan's idea, Pierre Delini asked: "Have they all agreed to serve as reviewers for these two papers?"

Lot Dugan looked at his old friend playfully and replied with a smile: "Of course, except for Tao Xuanzhi, who I haven't notified yet, everyone else has already agreed.

I told them that your initial evaluation of this paper was that if the article is correct, it will be the greatest landmark work of this century, bar none. So don’t reveal it.”

Pierre Delini was startled, and then his expression quickly returned to normal...

This damn guy, he swore he hadn't said this yet. After all, he had just finished reading the paper and hadn't done any in-depth calculations or derivation.

"I made a note of it. If he is right, I will say it again in public next time."

Pierre Deligny glared at Lot Dugan and replied.

Well, it's actually good to have a friend who knows him well, because he thinks this evaluation is actually very...appropriate.

If in the end no one can find any errors or omissions in the article.

…

It takes time to build an important axiom system framework, it takes time to prove it, and it also takes time to submit it to reviewers for verification.

So after Qiao Yu submitted the article, he stopped paying attention to it.

On the one hand, the research has just begun, and he still needs to continue to advance. Next, he will introduce some more complex concepts.

For example, modal convolution requires advancing the two-dimensional modal space into a three-dimensional modal space.

Advancing from two dimensions to three dimensions is also a complex process. The work required to prove it will be more complicated.

However, what is more complicated is actually verification work rather than simple proof.

After Qiao Yu learned from Lot Dugan that his paper would be reviewed by at least four to five reviewers, he could roughly judge that the paper would be published as early as the end of December. , it may even have to wait until next year.

Even if the reviewers are very diligent, it will take about two months to review the manuscript and then type it.

According to Qiao Yu's plan, the second batch of papers will be submitted after the first batch of papers are published, which means that there are still three months to do the next stage of work.

Obviously this time can be said to be quite abundant.

Qiao Yu still plans to divide the second batch of papers into two, and he and Senior Brother Chen will still be the first authors of each other.

The reason is also very simple. Occasionally, if you publish an article in one of the top four magazines, people will think that this person is just lucky.

But if we can continue to publish top issues, some people will find out that this big boss must be paid...

By the way, he can also get a GG for his own topic. As he told Lot Dugan, it may take him more than ten papers to build the entire framework.

The initial workload is not large, but once group theory and graph theory are introduced into the framework, various verification tasks will increase exponentially.

The reason is also very simple. After introducing these complex theories, the modal space must be pushed to higher dimensions.

When group theory and graph theory are extended to high-dimensional modal spaces, the workload of verifying each theorem will increase exponentially.

In the simplest example, verifying the group symmetry of a modal path may require examining the interrelationships in all dimensions.

Not to mention that group theory and graph theory themselves belong to different branches of mathematics. Integrating them into the same framework requires proving some cross-field properties, such as the role of group representation on modal paths.

The workload has increased exponentially. Even if Senior Brother Chen sacrifices all his hair or even dies from exhaustion, it will be impossible to complete the complicated verification work in months.

So on the one hand, Senior Brother Chen can get what he wants, and on the other hand, Senior Brother Chen is also a living GG of the research team to the outside world.

Look, when you come to Qiao Yu's research group, publishing top issues is just like having fun. You can even publish two or three articles a year.

Qiao Yu didn't even worry about not being able to separate the two.

The reason is also very simple. After continuous expansion and addition during this period, Qiao Yu feels that this axiom system can be made into a highly axiomatic and modular theory.

For example, after he completes the proof work for the group theory module, the verification of various work introduced in group theory can be divided into several papers.

Symmetry groups and geometric structures of modal space, group orbits and periodicity of modal paths, the role of group representation in multi-dimensional modal space, group theory verification of modal convolution, the impact of group action on modal density functions,

Modal space group theoretic description of specific number theory problems...

If you really think about it, Qiao Yu can find tons of research directions, and each direction can involve an independent problem or tool, all of which are indispensable.

And he has sufficient reasons to classify them this way. Because all these propositions are gathered into one paper, which is too big! It is not conducive to dissemination.

Separation can make it very streamlined. When other mathematicians need to use it, they can find the required documents more accurately.

These propositions are enough to feed a large research group. Just like what he told Lao Xue before.

What if one day you become a leader in the mathematics community and control countless resources, but at the same time there are two close people with similar achievements and only one position?

Qiao Yu's answer at the time was that if you make the cake so big that people around you can't finish it, then there won't be such a ridiculous problem.

Of course, the cake must also match the ability. In the later stage, you can only get the research topic if you have the ability, and you will be promoted if you are successful in verification.

If you can't do it, sorry, you will naturally be eliminated by the research team.

With this large team to conduct complex verification of his theoretical framework, he was able to find time to complete the propositions that Director Tian asked him to do before graduating from Ph.D.

For example, the twin prime conjecture and the Riemann hypothesis.

Of course, Qiao Yu did not announce these ambitions to the outside world. He did not even mention these things to Director Tian and Mr. Yuan. After all, there was not so much work in the early stage, and it was relatively easy.

No one now thinks that this proposition can lead to several top publications within a year.

In short, this is Qiao Yu's plan. The workload in the early stage is small, and he can attract the interest of the academic community through a few core theories and verification papers.

The subsequent development of complex verification work gradually let everyone know that he planned to build the entire framework into a comprehensive and rigorous research system.

The later it gets, the more difficult it becomes, but the collaborators it attracts will naturally become more powerful. This will be a long-term process and a process of continuous integration of resources.

He just needs to ensure that the whole process is healthy competition and development.

As for the purpose of this long-term plan...

In fact, the reason is very simple. Everyone knows that Qiao Yu is a person with extreme talents, but in fact, everyone is less aware that Qiao Yu's talents are not limited to mathematics, or even science.

What's more, he is very good at observing and summarizing everything in life. He is also determined to either not do something or to do it to the extreme.

For example, Qiao Yu knew very well that in the mathematics world, what he lacked most now was not talent, papers, achievements, or even those messy awards, but qualifications and foundation.

After all, he is confident that he can obtain other honors when he is young, but his qualifications and background are different. Under normal circumstances, he can only rely on time to slowly fill them up.

His mentor Tian Yanzhen, his master-grandfather Yuan Zhengxin, Lott Dugan, even that man's father-in-law Mikael Eisen, and those big guys, they can rely on more than just themselves

Those honors.

What's more, their students are all over the world in universities and research institutes. Many of their outstanding students have also become math giants...

Editorial boards and even chief editors of journals, review committee members of major awards and science funds, and heads of research groups in universities and research institutes.

It's like a network that condenses these people into a seemingly loose body that actually has the same interests. As long as there is a need, great energy can often burst out.

Qiao Yu couldn't wait so long.

When he graduates, becomes a professor, and then teaches students, he also has to wait for the students he teaches to grow up...

He was already old by then!

Slowly build this theoretical framework, and win over a group of people who already have a certain say in the academic world, domestic and foreign...

Everyone's core interests are the same. After all, with the help of Qiao Yu's topic, their voice will be greater.

The next step will be easy. In just a few years, the people around him will become his amplifiers. Even if he whispers a word, it will be deafening. This is the way to go.

…

Of course, the above are just Qiao Yu's long-term plans, and there is no need to consider so much at the moment.

All members of the research team have taken care of him since he was at least eighteen years old. There is still more than a year left, so he still has plenty of time to study.

The only thing that dissatisfied him recently was that when everyone was busy and fulfilled, Mr. Yuan actually arranged for Qiao Xi to travel during the National Day holiday.

Yes, travel in the literal sense, and it is a holiday travel, the kind of traveling where you can join in the fun.

The reason is that I originally felt that Qiao Xi's life was too simple and boring, and she was not good at communicating with others. Only by going out more and interacting with people could things improve.

Qiao Xi actually went there...

Well, it doesn't matter. Considering that Qiao Xi has never gone out to have fun, life should indeed be relaxed.

In short, the National Day holiday passed quickly, and Qiao Yu was called to the office by her tutor again.

"The time for this year's annual academic meeting of the Mathematical Society has been set. From the 2nd to the 6th of next month, the second special lecture on the morning of the 4th will be a 60-minute speech by you on behalf of Yanbei University."

The tone of voice that did not allow for denial immediately put Qiao Yu into confusion.

"No, Director Tian, ​​what...what should I say in the sixty-minute report?" Qiao Yu asked subconsciously.

I can't retell his paper on the geometric Langlands conjecture at the World Algebraic Geometry Conference.

"Let's talk about your modal space theory. Mr. Yuan and I both feel that this will be the most important direction in future number theory and geometry research. We helped you win this opportunity.

Just forget about withdrawing the project I applied for you last time. It has taken so long to write an overview paper about your idea and submit it to the organizing committee for review. Don’t underestimate the annual mathematics conference, which is already the largest in the country. The top academic conference."
