From all-round academic master to chief scientist - Chapter 292 Second Report

“Congratulations to Professor Lin Xiao for winning the first Fields Medal at this International Congress of Mathematicians!”

As Kenig announced the name, the audience burst into applause.

No one among the mathematicians present had any doubts about this winner.

If Lin Xiao had not won the Fields Medal, then all of them would probably question the fairness of the Fields Medal.

Even the winners may feel embarrassed to accept the award.

Amidst the applause of the audience, Kenig also smiled and said: “Then, let’s invite Lin Xiao to teach and go on stage to receive the award.”

Immediately, everyone looked into the field, looking for the young figure.

At the same time, all the media reporters in the venue were also looking for this figure.

Among them, reporters from CCTV were also included.

As a country with a strong sense of collective honor, these reporters from China were also excited about Lin Xiao’s award.

This is the first Chinese national to win such a top prize in mathematics in the world!

And he is still such an amazing genius. Just like the award speech given by Carlos Kenig, President of the International Mathematical Union just now, Lin Xiao’s talent is so strong.

Reporter Zeng Xin patted the cameraman next to him and said, “Old Zhao, you must film the whole process. You will definitely need it when you get back.”

Lao Zhao patted his chest and said, “Don’t worry, I used to work on the football field. I can keep up with football, let alone people.”

Zeng Xin smiled, then turned around and called their leader at CCTV to convey the good news: “Director Zhang, Professor Lin really won the Fields Medal!”

He believes that when the news is spread back, it will definitely bring surprises to the country.

…

While the entire audience was shocked by the first winner, Lin Xiao, who was sitting in his seat, could not help but feel a surge of emotion in his heart.

The Fields Medal is the highest award in mathematics, the Nobel Prize in mathematics, and to a certain extent, it is more difficult to win the Fields Medal than the Nobel Prize. After all, you are just under 40 years old. Restrictions have already limited the difficulty of winning the Fields Medal to a very high level, let alone the difficulty in the field of mathematics.

As for Lin Xiao, it goes without saying that he loves mathematics. Even before obtaining the system, his mathematics scores were among the best in the class. Not to mention that now, he has used mathematics to solve many problems. The question is how much you know.

Therefore, winning the Fields Medal is a culmination of all his past achievements for him.

Of course, his strong brain development allowed him to quickly control the excitement in his heart, and then, he finally stood up from his seat in front of everyone’s attention.

Finally, people at the scene also found their target, turned their eyes towards it, and applauded even louder.

Mathematicians who had not won the Fields Medal cast envious glances at him. Lin Xiao got this coveted award without any controversy, and many of them were already stuck at the age of 40. At this level, they can only hope that they will be included in the next quota, otherwise, they will forever miss this honor that will last a lifetime.

Those mathematics enthusiasts cast their eyes on Lin Xiao with admiration and admiration. Everyone has the mentality of worshiping the strong, so Lin Xiao undoubtedly belongs to such a strong person, and most of these mathematics enthusiasts are young people. , are also students at school. For people like Lin Xiao who are almost the same age as them, because the gap is too big, they can’t be jealous, so they naturally respect them even more.

And Lin Xiao walked to the rostrum amidst all these gazes.

“Congratulations, young mathematical genius.”

After Carlos Kenig watched Lin Xiao walk up, he smiled and congratulated.

“Thanks.”

Lin Xiao responded with a smile.

Carlos Kenig smiled and nodded. Then, he picked up a golden medal from a tray nearby, and said to Lin Xiao: “Then, this is your medal. This is a great medal.” Even I am very eager for honors. Unfortunately, I am already seventy years old. However, I believe that awarding the Fields Medal to you is actually an honor belonging to the Fields Medal. There is no mathematics award. Being able to reject a mathematician who solved the twin prime conjecture and Goldbach’s conjecture.”

“As I said in my opening speech, these four years in the field of mathematics have been four years full of miracles, and these miracles were all achieved based on your achievements.”

“The mathematics community is lucky to have you.”

“Mathematics, I’m so lucky to have you.”

The sincerity in the words of Carlos Kenig, who was already seventy years old, moved Lin Xiao.

“Thank you.” He thanked him again.

Carlos Kenig smiled, then picked up the ribbon on the medal and motioned to Lin Xiao to put it on him.

Lin Xiao understood, then lowered his head slightly, and let Carlos Kenig put on this light but meaningful medal for him.

Then, he picked up the medal and looked at it.

The medal was designed by Canadian sculptor Robert Tate MacKenzie. According to Fields’ idea, Latin and Greek were used to show the international nature of the medal. On the front is a portrait of the ancient Greek scientist Archimedes on the right side. The Greek word “ΑΡΧΙΜΗΔΟΥΣ” is engraved next to the head, which means “Archimedes’ (head)”. In addition, there is a Latin sentence on the circular edge of the medal, which means “Beyond his (Archimedes’) mind, Master the world”.

Another string of Latin words is engraved on the back of the medal, which means “mathematicians from all over the world gather to award (award) for outstanding works.” In the background are laurel branches in the front, which were woven into laurel wreaths by ancient Greeks and Romans to wear on the victors; in the back is a sphere inscribed in a cylinder, which was the most satisfactory result of Archimedes and was ordered to be engraved on his tombstone.

The name of the winner is also engraved on the edge of the back.

The entire medal is exquisite and beautiful.

“How?” Carlos Kenig saw Lin Xiao’s movements and asked with a smile.

“very good.”

Lin Xiao smiled slightly, then put the medal on his chest, and whispered: “Mr. Kenig, I will secretly reveal a piece of news to you. Soon, a new miracle will appear.”

Carlos Kenig was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: “Then I’ll be looking forward to it.”

Lin Xiao smiled and nodded, and then, without staying any longer, he walked off the stage to the applause of the audience again.

Next, the award ceremony continued. Except for Lin Xiao, the unsuspicious winner, the remaining awards were full of suspense. Therefore, those who were lucky enough to receive the award cheered in their hearts, while those who did not receive it were filled with suspense. People can only lament in their hearts. If they don’t get it this time, they probably won’t get it for the rest of their lives.

But no matter what, the Fields Medal Award Ceremony is over. There are no extra places to make up for those injured hearts. The next step is the Newanglina Award Ceremony. After this award is awarded, the opening ceremony of this game, It was completely over.

People began to leave, and Lin Xiao also left as early as possible.

Before the answer to Hodge’s conjecture was completely revealed, he would never place himself among a group of mathematicians who were so angry that they had nowhere to vent because they were out of context.

In addition, arrangements for Fields’ lecture were also made, and his lecture was scheduled for the fourth day.

In other words, after he gives his one-hour plenary report tomorrow, the next day, he will officially show the world how the Hodge conjecture evolved from a conjecture to a theorem.

Just as he said to Carlos Kenig, soon, he will “sing” another song for the mathematics world, and the miracle will happen again.

Of course, it was not just him who was looking forward to it, but also the group of mathematicians who had been repeatedly run away by him.

These mathematicians are already prepared. As long as Lin Xiao does not give them a satisfactory answer, they will definitely let this young man Lin Xiao know the consequences of cheating and attacking them old mathematicians without respecting martial ethics. .

…

The day passed quickly.

July 7th, if it is the lunar calendar, then this day is the Qixi Festival, but it is obviously based on the solar calendar, so this day is still ordinary.

However, for the mathematicians who participated in the International Congress of Mathematicians, today is the first day of the one-hour plenary session of this conference.

Especially the second session this morning was the one-hour report by Lin Xiao, the current Fields Medal winner.

Many people have read his report. The new motivation theory and the integral Hodge conjecture mentioned in it made them very interested. However, Lin Xiao’s abominable treatment out of context at the end made every reader They all hated it.

Because of this, more people are looking forward to his report.

Everyone wanted to know how Lin Xiao would explain his fragmented chapter.

The first report started at 10:15 a.m. and ended at 11:15 a.m., while Lin Xiao’s report started at 11:30 a.m.

At 11:25, the venue was full, with more than 2,000 participants quietly waiting for Lin Xiao to appear.

Until 11:30.

Lin Xiao, who just took the podium yesterday and won the Fields Medal, appeared on the same podium again.

With a smile on his face, he looked at the more than 2,000 audience members present and bowed slightly.

“Hello friends, welcome to listen to my report.”

“As you can see, the topic of my report is “A New Motivated Cohomology and Integral Hodge Conjecture.” So, in this report, I will start with my Lin’s theorem and carefully analyze my new At the same time, starting from the integral Hodge conjecture, we will reveal the secrets from topology to algebra.”

“Well, without further ado, let’s get started.”

“…”
