Chapter 243 Unexpected Surprises

A peer review of a major conjecture often does not apply the double-blind principle as rigorously as regular journal submissions, as there are so many people working in this area, and the problems identified during the review need to be explained by the Ark.

As soon as the report came to an end, the Ark received a review list from the Mathematics Yearbook.

Because the Mathematics Yearbook is run jointly by Princeton University and Princeton Institute of Higher Studies and is probably similar in significance to an open "school journal” for an ark, the list did not appear in his mailbox, but editor-in-chief Evans personally delivered it to the ark.

“… your paper will be subject to an open, impartial and independent review by six people, including Faltines, Helfgott and Ivanets. Enjoy the evening banquet. Starting tomorrow, you're busy.” Evans smiled.

Faltines! Ivan Pinitz!

Looking at the list, the ark was numb with scalp.

Helfgott will appear on the list for a reason. After all, he is also studying Goldbach's assumptions, and his understanding of the circle method is arguably the first of its kind today, just like Chen Jingyun's big screen method.

But a big man in algebra geometry like Faltines, what's all the fuss...

Although he did solve a number of theoretical problems with algebraic geometry.

Closed the list and the ark coughed softly: "… I hope the bosses will show mercy. ”

“Show mercy? Impossible, this is one of the crowns of analytical mathematics,” Evans Haha laughed, shooting his arm off the canoe, "said Professor Sanek of the Institute of Advanced Studies, who is quite optimistic about your paper, so you can be more confident in yourself. I got you. Come on! ”

The Ark naturally knows who Professor Sanek is, and Princeton has a number of professors named Sanek, but only one is famous, PeterSarnak, editor-in-chief of the Mathematics Yearbook, a 14-year Wolf Prize winner.

Though not famous for the two big men, Faltines and Ivanets, their authority in the mathematical field is beyond doubt.

However, for various reasons, including suspicion, there is only one Princeton Institute of Higher Studies researcher on this list, but not Peter Sanek. Fellows of the Paris Gourmet, however, held two places.

In fact, Evans is still inaccurate.

Not from tomorrow, but just after this report, the Ark has begun to be too busy to turn over.

As soon as he left Reporting Room 1 of the Institute of Higher Studies, journalists who had been ambushed for a long time came after him.

“Mr. Ark, I'm a reporter for The Philadelphia Journal. Will you be teaching in Princeton? Will you return home? ”

Ark: “Of course, China is my country, and I will eventually go back. But I also love Princeton's purely academic environment, which is a great place to communicate academia, and I would certainly accept Princeton's offer to give me a teaching position. ”

“Hello, Mr. Ark, I'm a reporter for The Daily Mail. How would you feel about your report? ”

“Nervous, and excited… so I need to rest now, very, very much. You can interview my mentor, Professor Deligne, who has helped me a lot and who knows my research well...”

One by one, these journalists threw the problem of diamonds to make the scalp numb. The ark really couldn't hold up, so it made the usual trick to dump the pot.

And yet he didn't expect that it was just the beginning.

In the evening, the Princeton Hotel banquet, although nominally intended to provide an opportunity for face-to-face scholars to meet and communicate, is now fully transformed into the Princeton Institute of Higher Studies' celebratory feast for the Ark.

With the exception of the temporarily unreadable ABC conjecture, the resolution of Gothenbach conjecture will undoubtedly be listed as one of the most important academic achievements after the Pongalese conjecture, and this outcome is in the most difficult analytical mathematical field.

As soon as the Ark appeared in the Princeton Hotel Ballroom, it became the focal point of the entire event.

Although he went around the crowd very low and walked to a long table filled with food and champagne, it was clear that no one else in Negro would let go of the opportunity to talk to him so easily.

The boat had just added a steak to the plate and saw a middle-aged man in a suit and walked over with a piece of champagne.

“Hi, I'm John Morgan, Director of Mathematics at Columbia University. ”

“Ark, nice to meet you.” The ark nodded with a smile and shook his hand politely.

“I'm also pleased to meet you, and your research is surprising. To be honest, I've never met a young mathematician who could drill into a field like this. ”

This Morgan was a very talkative man, and the words were not stingy and praised, and the ark was a little embarrassed.

The two had a relaxing chat, but when they did, Morgan brought the topic to Columbia University.

“… Columbia University has many distinguished Chinese mathematicians, such as Zhang Yao and Zhang Tao Wu, who are excellent scholars. You can communicate with many good Chinese students here, and our attitude towards Chinese students and professors is absolutely the most open in the United States, especially for potential or capable scholars. We can hire you as a full professor as long as you like. ”

Speaking of which, Professor Morgan, with all the champagne, is no longer under cover.

The Ark laughed embarrassingly and was about to answer with a phrase, "I will consider your suggestion carefully”, and Professor Deligne's voice came from the side.

“You said these things Princeton could offer as well. ”

Morgan stunned and looked back, smiling a little subtle.

“… Deligne? Oh, my friend, I didn't know you were here. ”

“Nice to meet you, Professor Morgan.” Not very familiar, Deligne just asked nicely, then looked to the ark and paused for a while before continuing, "I was going to wait until tomorrow, but the opportunity was rare. On this rare occasion, I intend to announce something. ”

Nearby exchanges and climbs stopped the conversation, and curious eyes were cast here, waiting for him to continue.

In response to those curious glances, Deligne stared at the ark and said solemnly.

“Ark. ”

I felt the solemnity and seriousness in that gaze. I consciously straightened my waistplate under the ark and changed my serious expression.

Looking at his students, Professor Deligne nodded and continued: "Given the results you have achieved during your PhD studies, you have proven your academic competence. After a research discussion at the Princeton Institute of Advanced Studies, we decided to grant you a PhD. ”

As Professor Deligne's voice fell, applause rang around him.

Several young students even whistled at the landing craft.

Some of them are Chinese students or members of the Princeton Ivy Club. For this great god, they worship from the heart.

A Ph.D., though not a great honor, is at best a real name.

But a Ph.D. in just three months will undoubtedly be written in Princeton's school history and even in history books.

However, Professor Deligne has not finished his remarks and it is clear what else he intends to say.

Waiting for the applause to subside, he continued with a steady voice.

“Similarly, following discussions at the Princeton Institute of Higher Studies, it was decided that, in view of the series of significant breakthroughs you have made in the prime field, the Princeton Institute of Higher Studies would like to extend a solemn and sincere invitation to you to take up your teaching position at the Princeton Institute. ”

Finally, Professor Deligne took a few compliments in his gaze at the Ark.

“The offer to hire will be sent to you the day after tomorrow along with your diploma. Of course, it's up to you to choose whether or not to accept the offer. ”

A few bosses don't feel much, just a professor's title. As for the peers, and the less famous scholars, they held their breath.

Perhaps someone will feel that a professor's title is nothing.

But this is Princeton Institute of Advanced Studies, the center of the world mathematics community after World War II!

Moreover, he is only 21 years old...

Jealous of separating the hostage walls...

Morgan stopped talking, just shrugged his shoulders and gave a helpless look.

The University of Columbia is certainly not looking enough at the Princeton Institute of Advanced Studies, an academic "headhunting company", to give him the position of director of the mathematics department as a condition, but mostly for nothing.

The ship was also stunned by this sudden problem.

It was a while before he took a deep breath.

“… what is the teaching position? ”

Professor Deligne said in his natural voice.

“What else could it be besides a full professor? ”
