I Just Want to Be a Quiet Top Student

While Shen Qi was engaged in popular science, he and Yang Dingtian worked together to promote the second topic of 973 project condensed matter physics.

After nearly half a year of research, verification, and research, the International Center for Theoretical Physics suggested that the disorder-order phase transition rules and basic equations of Shen Qi's first condensed matter physics paper "disorder-order phase transition rules and basic equations for a class of compounds" The sequence transition rule is named "Shen-Qi rule", and the corresponding basic mathematical physics equation ∫+∞-∞dux/dx/x-ζdζ=(1-v)b/2asin4πux/b is named "Shen-Qi equation".

ICTP sent an invitation letter to Shen Qi:

"Mr. Shen Qi, in view of your contributions in the fields of condensed matter physics, complexity, solid-state physics, astrophysics, etc., ICTP nominated you as a candidate for the Kasteler Award and invited you to participate in the ICTP conference in July this year. I look forward to attending the Kasteler Award Ceremony."

Founded in 1982, the Casteler Prize is named after the French physicist Alfred Casteler. It is an award in the international physics community. It is awarded every two years and selected by ICTP. This award is given to nationals of developing countries living and working in their home country, up to the age of 40.

Finally, an international physics organization presented an award to Shen Qi, and Shen Qi accepted ICTP's invitation.

A few days later, IMU sent an invitation letter to Shen Qi:

"Mr. Shen Qi, in view of your research on Riemann's conjecture, Goldbach's conjecture, Hodge's conjecture, SLW system, Shen's twin matching method, Walsh's conjecture, Mueller-Shen's theorem/Shen's proximity in Banach space IMU has decided to award you the Shiing-shen Chern Award for your unparalleled contributions in the fields of theorems and theorems, and invites you to attend the International Congress of Mathematicians in August this year, hope to attend.”

Good things come in pairs.

This year is the year of the Fields Medal, and this year's Fields Medal will be awarded at the quadrennial International Congress of Mathematicians.

In the past four years, Shen Qi has achieved new major research results in mathematics, established the SLW system and proved Hodge's conjecture.

However, IMU still did not make an exception and once again listed Shen Qi as a candidate for the Philippine Award, and IMU nominated Shen Qi as a candidate for the Chern Award.

The Chern Prize and the Chern Prize in Mathematics are two different awards. The former is awarded by the IMU, while the latter is awarded by the Chinese Mathematical Society.

Shen Qi had already won the Chern Prize in Mathematics when he was studying at Princeton, and the Chern Prize issued by IMU is in the nature of a lifetime achievement award.

A mathematician can only receive the Filipino Award once in a lifetime. IMU has expressed its position on this principle, and it must definitely stick to it and remain unwavering for a hundred years.

Shen Qi proved Hodge's conjecture after the last Filipino Award. IMU didn't have any awards to give to Shen Qi. After much deliberation, he had to make another exception and nominate Shen Qi as a candidate for the Chern Award.

The Chern Award is usually only given to grandpas who have retired or are about to retire, and Shen Qi is 26 years old this year.

Shen Qi accepted the invitation of IMU, and he will attend the International Conference of Mathematicians in August this year.

The Casteler Prize is awarded in Trieste, Italy, and this year's International Mathematicians Conference is held in St. Petersburg, Russia. Shen Qi made plans in advance to go to Europe at the end of July and early August. Bring back both prizes.

There are still nearly two months before the trip to Europe, and it is the exam season and defense season of Yanda University.

Shen Qi, who was born in the Chinese Academy of Sciences, was invited to act as the defense officer. He will participate in an undergraduate defense and a doctoral defense in the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Five undergraduate theses and two doctoral theses were sent to Shen Qi in advance. Shen Qi read the undergraduate papers first, and after reading one of the papers, he slapped the table angrily: "The attitude is extremely improper, why does Yanda have such students? ?”

The writing of the two doctoral thesis is not bad, one of the authors is Shen Qi's old friend and his undergraduate classmate Li Zhenqiang.

At the beginning of June, the graduation defense of undergraduates in YSU School of Mathematics was in progress.

This morning, five senior students from the Department of Mathematics took turns to enter the defense meeting room to present their undergraduate thesis and answer questions from the teacher.

The performance of the first four undergraduates was not bad, and the thesis was so-so, with no bright spots or fatal omissions.

Shen Qi's evaluation is that you have written a mathematics paper that barely meets the undergraduate graduation standards of Yanda Mathematics Institute. I personally agree with your undergraduate graduation and wish you a bright future.

The fifth undergraduate graduate entered the arena, a boy with a fashionable hairstyle.

The boy bowed first after entering the door, and the etiquette was very good: "Hello, Professor Shen, Dean Lu, and Dean Sun!"

The boy is quite sensible, and he has done his homework beforehand. He has checked the levels of the three respondent very clearly.

Shen Qi is the Zhengting Professor of Yan University. This chair can only be awarded to one person at a time. At the same time, Shen Qi is also the director of the Shen Qi Mathematics Research Center. This center is on the same level as the School of Mathematics, so Shen Qi's rank will not be lower than the dean of the School of Mathematics.

Lu Guozhen is the vice president of the School of Mathematics, and Sun Erxiong is the director of the teaching and research section, so the ranking of boys greeting the respondent is correct. From high to low, they are Professor Shen, Dean Lu, and Director Sun.

The School of Numerology attaches great importance to the defense of undergraduate students. The three respondent officers are all famous figures in the industry. The chief respondent Lu Guozhen said: "Student He Yuming, please start your statement."

"Okay." The boy named He Yuming began to make a statement, and his expression was eloquent: "I am He Yuming, a senior student in the Department of Mathematics, and my graduation thesis is "On the Supercontinuity of Functional Spaces". The concept was first proposed in the 1980s, and the core idea of ​​my topic selection is to prove that the category of supercontinuum lattices in which continuous functions are morphisms is a Catesel-closed category..."

He Yuming made the statement for ten minutes at a stretch, which was extremely smooth, and his eloquence and expressive ability were excellent: "My presentation is over, and I ask the three teachers to criticize and correct me."

"Student He Yuming, we have read your graduation thesis in advance. This thesis is very difficult for undergraduates. On the basis of function space, topology research is added. Your thesis has reached the level of graduate students. Did you write it yourself?" Sun Erxiong asked, looking suspicious.

He Yuming replied firmly: "Of course, I completed this graduation thesis independently. For this reason, I searched a lot of literature and often had in-depth exchanges with my supervisor, Professor Qian. Under his guidance, I completed this thesis. "

"I know Lao Qian very well. As a visiting scholar, he went to the University of Manchester in the UK after the Spring Festival this year. He will stay there for one to two years. Since the Spring Festival, Professor Qian is not in China. How did you communicate with him in depth? " Lu Guozhen asked sharply.

He Yuming explained it very confidently: "This topic was drafted in my senior year. In fact, I had a prototype in my mind during the summer vacation from my junior year to my senior year. Professor Qian went to the University of Manchester for a visit and exchange in February this year. In the second half of last year, I got the guidance of Professor Qian, and I was suddenly inspired, and the rest of the work was to follow the steps and complete the thesis according to the mature derivation logic."

Sun Erxiong flipped through some materials on the spot, and said calmly: "Student He Yuming, you failed Gaodai in your freshman year, and you failed twice. Before I became the director of the teaching and research section, I taught Gaodai. Classmate, you even the most basic How can I believe that you can complete the thesis design equivalent to the graduate level of mathematics?"

"In my freshman year, I was really a scumbag. I went to have fun. Not only did I fail high-level subjects, but I also failed a few points." He Yuming confessed.

"Oh? Really? Before I became the director of the teaching and research section and the deputy dean, I taught scores." Lu Guozhen looked through the materials, yo, this kid is really good at scores.

Gao Dai also failed, and his score also failed. Xie Ji just passed the test with 61 points. This classmate was a scumbag before.

In the face of the respondent's question, He Yuming straightened his spine and said loudly: "But I have a good background. I got a full score in mathematics in the college entrance examination. After my sophomore year, I reformed myself and regained the bravery and aggressiveness of the college entrance examination. The so-called I'm not here to brag about myself, I always firmly believe that the stage is as big as the heart!"

He Yu is clear and upright, and his on-the-spot statement and defense are the most contagious among all the undergraduates this morning.

Lu Guozhen and Sun Erxiong looked at each other and said nothing.

At this time, Shen Qi, who had not spoken all the time, smiled: "Student, I have been away from Yanda University for many years, and I don't know much about your past academic experience. I can only evaluate it from a professional perspective. Let me ask you a question. Who is the mathematician who came up with the concept of supercontinuity?"

"It's Lawson, a British mathematician. I mentioned this in my paper and quoted some of Lawson's theories." He Yuming answered fluently. He is very familiar with his paper, and it can be seen that he has put his thought into it.

"Where was Lawson before?" Shen Qi continued to ask with a smile.

He Yuming's body trembled slightly, and then he returned to normal: "No more, it was Lawson at first."

Shen Qi lightly tapped the desktop: "Really, but as far as I know, the 11th quote in Lawson's supercontinuity paper published in 1981 came from a German mathematician. Of course, the earliest The achievement of forming a systematic theory belongs to Lawson, but we cannot ignore the contribution made by that German mathematician named Muller, who was my tutor when I was in graduate school."

"This..." He Yuming was at a loss for words for a moment, this was the first time he was stuck today.

"Oh?" Lu Guozhen and Sun Erxiong were also quite surprised, they didn't pay attention to a quote in a 1981 paper.

Snapped!

Shen Qi picked up He Yuming's paper and slapped the desktop: "Student He Yuming, you are awesome, you are the best, the category of supercontinuum lattice whose continuous function is a morphism is the category of Catesel's closed category, it was you who proved it, I have to care about you Call Master. Teacher He, please sit down, please take a seat!"

"I... I, I..." He Yuming, who was extremely confident just now, was scared to urinate in an instant. He didn't know whether it was real urine or sweat, but his pants were wet anyway.

"You, you, you copied the research results of my tutor Muller. Muller's paper published in 1980 was written in German and was not published in English journals. At that time, it did not attract much attention. So Years have passed and it has long been forgotten by people. People only remember Lawson who has achieved great success. Who cares about those mathematics workers who silently laid the foundation? He Yuming, you are very knowledgeable and understand German." Shen Qi told the truth, and he did not May recall all references to all mathematics articles in the world. He Yuming happened to hit the gun and copied the early research results of Shen Qi's German mentor.
