Chapter 155 Is he bragging?

Early in the morning on November 1, Qiao Yu followed Director Tian, ​​Mr. Yuan and Qiao Xi to board the high-speed train and arrived in Linhai on time in the afternoon.

The organizer of the annual mathematics academic conference every year is naturally the Chinese Mathematical Society, and this year the organizer is Linhai Jiaotong University.

Theoretically, reporting on the annual meeting would not start until the next day, and there would be a whole day of reporting time, but both Tian Yanzhen and Yuan Zhengxin had to go a day in advance.

Because in addition to reports tomorrow, there is also a satellite meeting of the Algebraic Geometry Branch of the Chinese Mathematical Society, which starts at 8:30 in the morning.

Tian Yanzhen and Yuan Zhengxin were both special guests at this satellite conference, so they could only go one day in advance.

Not only that, there are a series of meetings in the evening, such as enlarged meetings, executive board meetings, supervisors meetings...

In short, the two bosses will be very busy tomorrow.

This pair of Qiao Yu and Qiao Xi is very friendly. After all, they have never been to an international metropolis like Linhai.

Sitting on the high-speed train, Qiao Yu was already thinking about whether he could wait until the two mentors went to a meeting tomorrow. He took Qiao Xi around Linhai.

Speaking of which, this is the first time Qiao Yu and Qiao Xi have traveled together. It's worth having fun. Of course, the premise is that he and Qiao Xi don't have to attend the meeting of the Algebraic Geometry Branch.

So Qiao Yu was very excited along the way and kept whispering to Qiao Xi.

That's the good thing about first-class seats on the high-speed rail. Although the seats are connected together, only two people can sit in a row, so you and the two instructors sit separately.

…

When they arrived at the hotel, Director Tian and Mr. Yuan were invited to meet some people, while Qiao Yu and Qiao Xi threw their suitcases into the room.

"Mom, I'm going to talk to Director Tian and Mr. Yuan later. We won't be attending the satellite conference tomorrow. Let's go to Disneyland for a day."

November has not yet reached its coldest time in Linhai, and the weather forecast says it will be sunny tomorrow, with temperatures still around 17 degrees during the day. It is a good time to go out in the clear autumn air.

Qiao Xi glanced at Qiao Yu, shook her head slightly and said, "Not interested."

Qiao Yu said: "No, let me tell you, this kind of satellite meeting is really boring. I have seen the meeting agenda, and there won't be anything too interesting."

Qiao Xi stretched, then took out her notebook from her bag and sat at the table in the hotel room.

"Have you forgotten? I haven't read the documents you assigned me yet. The meeting is boring, I can also read the documents. Why don't you go out and play by yourself."

Such a sharp counterattack was completely unexpected by Qiao Yu. It also made Qiao Yu feel a little unmotivated.

But he had no choice but to go out alone and find it boring. The key was that Qiao Yu didn't think Qiao Xi was that studious.

"you……"

Just as I said a word, the phone rang.

"Come to my room, you know? It's right next door to you. The door is open." Tian Yanzhen's voice came from the phone.

"Okay, Director Tian." Qiao Yu said, then glanced at Qiao Xi, who ignored him, and left the room.

…

When they came to Tian Yanzhen's room, Mr. Yuan was also there, sitting there drinking tea and looking at him with a smile.

Before he could say hello, Director Tian said: "You have prepared well these two days. It has been passed. The second report on the morning of the 4th will be yours."

"Huh? Is this okay?" Qiao Yu asked unexpectedly.

Tian Yanzhen explained: "I have talked with Editor-in-Chief Dugan. Your paper has passed the review and will be published on the official website at noon on the 3rd, Beijing time at the latest. Congratulations, you have one more top-ranked paper, and Cover paper of the top issue.

In addition, your paper on the bounded interval of prime numbers has also been recognized by Zhang Yuantang and Tao Xuanzhi. In exchange, I helped you agree to Editor-in-Chief Dugen that this paper will be submitted directly to Editor-in-Chief Dugen after the conference."

Qiao Yu was stunned. He really didn't expect it to be like this. To be honest, he hadn't entered the submission backend system to check it in the past two days.

Later, Pierre Delini sent him an email, discussing in depth some mathematical concepts about the modal space axiom system.

However, the boss didn't tell him whether the paper passed the review. He didn't expect to hear it from his tutor first.

This really surprised him.

Really, for a moment he wanted to fly to Princeton and ask Editor Dugan face to face what was going on in his mind...

If he had known that this was the case, he would not have bothered to waste time tinkering with this paper that reduced the interval to 6, because it would not make much sense.

It would be better to wait for him to finish the final work and directly solve the twin prime conjecture.

After all, the upper bound on the interval between prime numbers is actually closely related to the twin prime number conjecture.

Because the establishment of the twin prime conjecture implies that the prime interval can be kept very small, that is, 2.

Well, it’s not completely useless. After all, it is proved that the upper bound of the prime interval can limit the growth rate of the prime interval, providing indirect support for the twin prime conjecture.

But Qiao Yu still felt that this was some useless work. If he had known that he would publish his paper on the 3rd, he could have followed the direction set by Director Tian and Mr. Yuan before and talked about his modal space axiom system on the 4th.

"Look at your expression? Why? Aren't you satisfied that your paper was published early? Don't think that I will praise you because your results are amazing? Do you know that it's just because of how many meetings you have held?" Tian Yanzhen He glared at Qiao Yu and said.

"Um...well, Director Tian, ​​although I didn't tell you, the corresponding author on the cover of the journal also has your name. It's just that Professor Dugan didn't contact you."

Qiao Yu argued cautiously.

"Haha, yes, Yan Zhen, Qiao Yu is right, you have already benefited a lot. Don't say so much. What Qiao Yu did was not good enough? Didn't he make you look good?"

Yuan Zhengxin happily helped by saying something. He really didn't have any ideas right now.

In fact, if he hadn't wanted to stand up for Qiao Yu, he would have never planned to attend this meeting.

After all, the concept is slightly different.

But there is no way, but who would let it be Qiao Yu? The old man obviously has more than just a simple love for Qiao Yu, the most important thing is that everything Qiao Yu does is to implement the old man's ideas.

For example, exploring the direction of development of Chinese mathematics is from going out to bringing in.

In the past, students were sent overseas to learn advanced knowledge from others. But when it develops to a certain level, it is necessary to consider how to attract more talents to come to China.

To solve this problem, original research at the mathematical level is required.

There is no doubt that the modal space axiomatic system proposed by Qiao Yu belongs to this category. It can even be said to be an original research that will affect the mathematical pattern of the future world.

So when Qiao Yu proposed this framework, Yuan Zhengxin believed that this should be designated as a key national-level support project.

He didn't even consider whether it was appropriate for Qiao Yu to apply for such a project at his age.

Probably for this reason, the old man was not angry at the fact that Qiao Yu directly submitted the article without saying hello to anyone. He was even very happy.

At least in the eyes of the elderly, it is definitely more meaningful to not ignore other people's wisdom and create innovative mathematical ideas and tools than to solve one or two mathematical problems.

As for Tian Yanzhen, the tutor, he just got lucky and found such a student.

Although the relationship has eased a lot now, in the old man's mind, he is still a student who is so virtuous and capable that he can have such a good student as Qiao Yu...

It's just that I don't say it very often now.

After all, no matter what, everything Tian Yanzhen did was to help Qiao Yu gain a foothold in the mathematics world as soon as possible.

And no matter how uncomfortable he was seeing Tian Yan, he could not deny his influence in China and the world of mathematics.

Whether it is his experience as a member of the Executive Committee of the International Mathematical Union, a judge of the Abel Prize, and the chairman of the Chinese Mathematical Society... they all give him sufficient influence.

In short, everything is for the children.

…

Qiao Yu grinned at the old man. In short, there was nothing wrong with him being a little bold when Grandpa Shi was around.

"But Qiao Yu, you still have to take this meeting seriously. Your teacher is right. You must prepare this report carefully. I'm also looking forward to your speech."

"Don't worry, giving the report will be no problem. I have experience." Qiao Yu said confidently.

This sentence is very convincing. After all, he has already given a sixty-minute report at the World Conference on Algebraic Geometry. He has already seen the big scene and gave a report at a domestic conference. Qiao Yu is really not nervous at all.

"Well, just have confidence. There's one more thing..."

As he spoke, Yuan Zhengxin glanced at Tian Yanzhen next to him, and then said: "Yan Zhen and I originally wanted to help you win the Chen Shengshen Mathematics Award this year, but firstly, we will focus our efforts on the second half of the year, and secondly, considering your age I'm still young, anyway... don't feel too wronged."

Qiao Yu said quickly: "No, there's really no need. I checked and found out that the Chen Shengsheng Prize only gives out 50,000 yuan, and it's still Hong Kong dollars. It doesn't matter whether you get it or not. I'll get the Abel Prize next year."

Tian Yanzhen glared at Qiao Yu and said, "What kind of bonus is there without bonus? Is it because of the bonus that I let you get the award? Who else mentioned the Abel Prize to you?"

"Um... Professor Dugan, he also specifically told me that the easiest way to get nominated for the Abel Prize is to publish a sufficiently significant article in the four top journals. Last time I went to participate in the World Algebraic Geometry During the conference, Professor Dugan took me and talked all afternoon and told me this.”

Qiao Yu explained.

Tian Yanzhen wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by the old man: "Qiao Yu is right. The Abel Prize prize money is similar to the Nobel Prize prize, and the prize money is indeed higher. Is it wrong for Qiao Yu to want to win the prize?"

You are competing for projects there, and you are fighting for the scientific research funding. What is wrong with Qiao Yu wanting to win the Abel Prize based on his ability?

Besides, which Abel Prize candidate is not a mathematician who has published important papers in top international mathematics journals? Who has made greater contributions than the modal space axiom system in recent years?"

After saying that, Yuan Zhengxin looked at Qiao Yu with kind eyes and said gently: "Okay, as long as you don't have any objections to this award selection, you can go back."

"Okay, Grandpa Shi, by the way, can my mother and I not attend the algebraic geometry meeting tomorrow? To be honest, this is our first time coming to the sea..."

"Hmm..." Yuan Zheng thought for a while, then nodded and said, "If you don't want to participate, just don't. Do you need me to ask the organizing committee to help you arrange a car?"

"No need, Master. My mother said that she will stay in the hotel most of the time reading literature. I will just take her for a walk in the morning."

"Okay, go ahead. But be careful."

"Okay, then I'm leaving, Director Tian, ​​Grandpa Shi."

Qiao Yu said politely to the tutor with a straight face, and then walked out of the room in a hurry.
