I Just Want to Be a Quiet Top Student

Ralph reported Yale's point of view to Shen Qi, and Shen Qi said: "I know, it's normal for the two sides to have differences during the progress of the project, you can contact Professor Jackson's team, we will visit Yale tomorrow. "

"Okay." Ralph contacted the other party.

When starting this Li Chao algebra project, Shen Qi met with Professor Jackson of Yale. At that time, Professor Jackson came to Princeton to visit him.

It's not rude to come and go, this time it's Shen Qi's turn to visit Yale.

Shen Qi pays more attention to this project with Yale, which is related to the funding application for next year or the year after.

For professors in American universities, most of the research funding needs to be solved by the professors themselves. There are two main sources of funding: enterprises and NSF.

Among them, enterprises provide the bulk of the funds. It is not difficult for well-known professors from famous schools who are engaged in engineering and applied research to find business partners.

NSF is the National Science Foundation of the United States, and professors engaged in pure theoretical research mainly rely on funding provided by NSF.

Shen Qi has a scientific research fund in hand, and the current balance is 550,000 US dollars.

Half of the $550,000 was applied from NSF at the beginning of the year, and the other half was subsidized by Princeton.

For a professor like Shen Qi who is engaged in basic mathematics research, it is difficult to get funding from companies, because other companies have no projects to entrust him to solve.

Therefore, Shen Qi's scientific research funds mainly rely on internal subsidies from NSF and Pudong University.

Princeton's evaluation of professors mainly includes the quantity and quality of published academic works, the number of doctoral graduates, the amount of funding received from outside, and the service inside and outside the school, etc.

This year is coming to an end, and Shen Qi ranks sixth in business assessment among many professors in the Mathematics Department of Pudong University.

He didn't make much money outside, and he hasn't brought out a doctoral graduate yet, and he hasn't done any service. The main extra points are academic works. He published "History of Number Theory" and the papers proved by Guai Guai, all of which are weight level academic works.

There is competition in any industry. Professors who have no academic works to publish, cannot produce doctoral students, and cannot earn money may be fired by the school.

Princeton will not dismiss a Philippine Award winner, but Shen Qi is a shameless person. This year, he entered the top ten in the ranking of professors in the Mathematics Department of Pudong University, which is not satisfactory. He hopes to enter the top three next year.

The two projects this year in cooperation with the Department of Mathematics of Yale and the Department of Mathematics of Victoria University are to lay the foundation for next year. Shen Qi and Ralph drove to Connecticut. Yale is located in New Haven, Connecticut, not far from Princeton.

Professor Jackson from the Department of Mathematics of Yale University warmly received Shen Qi and Ralph, and then the two sides had a friendly exchange on the project "Research on Linear Lie Superalgebras and Their Supergroups".

The members on the Yale side were Professor Jackson and his doctoral student Jimmy. Jimmy and Ralph expressed their opinions respectively, while Jackson and Shen Qi did not speak for now.

"We assume that P(λ) is not equal to zero, let L0(λ) be a restricted irreducible g0-module, take a maximum weight vector vλ of L0(λ), and make the following proof, we can conclude that the Kac-module V(λ ) contains the element T-vλ..." Ralph stated loudly with confidence, Professor Shen said, we are right, don't be cowardly.

"But Ralph, in the field of complex numbers, your proof cannot completely convince me." Jimmy went to the blackboard and scribbled out a bunch of formulas to express his point of view.

Professor Jackson gave him an approving look, which made Jimmy more determined in his thinking.

Ralph hesitated, he glanced at Shen Qi, and found that Shen Qi smiled with such confidence.

Yes, don't be cowardly, stick to your principles and academic views.

This is the message Shen Qi conveyed to Ralph through his eyes.

Ralph regrouped. He switched the PPT to a certain page, and suddenly felt a domineering air: "Jimmy, we have talked about this issue many times. Today I will say it again, and it will be the last time."

Jimmy shuddered, why did Ralph become so aggressive?

Shen Qi kept smiling, yes, my students should be full of self-confidence, and never be weak when they should be strong.

Ralph became more and more firm: "From the representation theory of modular Lie algebra, I introduce the baby Wilma module here, we can clearly find that V((p-1)ρ0) is an irreducible u(g) -module, and Str is an irreducible Gr-module!"

Jimmy stared at the PPT, and he found that this page of Ralph's paper had some revisions from the previous version.

Seeing Jimmy's dumbfounded expression, Ralph was inexplicably a little dark.

This revision was completed yesterday by Ralph under the guidance of Shen Qi, and the minor flaws have been repaired without any omissions.

Jimmy's brain couldn't turn around for a while, this revision affected his whole body, he couldn't respond immediately, he could only say: "Wait a minute, I need to calculate."

"Jimmy, sit down first and have a cup of coffee." Professor Jackson finally spoke, and he said, "Ralph, please continue your statement and read the rest."

Then it was Ralph's performance time, and he finished the report in one go.

Professor Jackson got up and shook hands with Shen Qi and Ralph: "Professor Shen, Ralph, we have no doubts, we will revise the part we are responsible for as soon as possible, happy cooperation."

"Happy cooperation." After entering this conference room, Shen Qi said "happy cooperation" from the beginning to the end.

Professor Shen's power is too powerful, he sat here, without saying a word, the project was settled... Ralph came to a place other than Princeton, only to discover the real role of Shen Qi, the Philippine award boss Professor Shen It's a strategic nuclear weapon...

On the subject of "Research on Linear Lie Superalgebras and Their Supergroups", Princeton and Yale have no disagreements. The next step is to jointly write the manuscript as soon as possible and publish the research results. This work is mainly completed by Ralph and Jimmy.

On Yu Lei's front, Shen Qi didn't even need to show up in person. Professor Gay from Victoria University fully agreed with Yu Lei's work.

After the Christmas holidays, Shen Qi will be 24 years old in the new year. This is his fourth year in the United States.

"What's your wish for the new year?" Ouye asked.

Shen Qi raised three fingers: "Three wishes, to be among the top three professors in the Department of Mathematics, to obtain a Ph.D. in physics, and to be in good health."

At the beginning of the new year, Yu Lei took the lead in completing the joint draft of his thesis. He sent the final draft to Shen Qi for review. Fred Guy.

"Do you need to put the names of Professor Guy and me?" Shen Qi asked.

Yu Lei nodded: "Your directional theoretical framework is the soul of this project. How can you not let go of your name? Professor Guy also means the same."
