Chapter 391 Pre-return arrangements

After Christmas, the ship's return journey has entered the countdown.

With less than three days remaining, before returning to the country, he intends to finish what is at hand, save years and come back here, and busy where to start.

The first is on the topic "Presence and smoothness of three-dimensional uncompressible Navier-Stokes equation solutions”.

For an ark, this is arguably the most important research subject, in addition to the study of plasma turbulence.

Since the establishment of the NS Cluster, there has been only one discussion session on the allocation of work to date, and now he is leaving Princeton for the time being. In order not to delay the progress of the study, he had to inform his research partners.

The next day, after a holiday application from the Ark to Nassau Hall, he went to the Mathematics Department building at Princeton University and found Professor Feverman's office.

When he arrived, Professor Feverman was discussing with his students the academic conference of the American Mathematical Institute next month.

Looking at the ark at the door of the office, Professor Feverman quickly noticed the fake note pinched in his hand and laughed and said.

“Are you going back home? ”

Ark: “Yes, Spring Festival is our holiday compared to Christmas, and I'll probably wait until the end of the year in mid-February. ”

After listening to the Ark, Professor Feverman nodded and said in a relaxed tone: "You do need a vacation to relax yourself, and few scholars have forced themselves to take part in so much research in such a short time. ”

“Forced so hard?” The ark shook its head, "I didn't feel compelled, but research itself was a fun thing. ”

“That's what I thought when I was younger,” Professor Feverman said with a laugh, "but now I find that no matter how interesting mathematical questions are, they should be moderate. ”

"… that's because you've got all the honors you can get. ”

Just earlier this year, the Wolf Foundation published a list of winners, the most influential of which was Professor Feverman.

In mathematics, the Wolf Award can be considered a lifetime achievement award, awarded mainly to mathematicians over 40 years of age in recognition of their long-standing contributions to the mathematical community.

As the youngest Fields Prize winner of all time, Feverman received the title of genius when he was younger and is now highly regarded as a Lifetime Achievement Award in later years. As far as mathematician status is concerned, he has had no regrets in his life.

“How? I can't finish the prize, not to mention I'm missing an Abel prize,” Professor Feverman said with a smile, "Anyway, enjoy your life now, I won't send you any emails until February. ”

Ark: “What's the subject of the NS equation? ”

Professor Feverman insisted: "Wait until after January. ”

Seeing as he had no intention of changing his mind, the ark shrugged helplessly.

“Well, since you insist. ”

……

In addition to the topics studied in cooperation with Professor Feverman, the topic of "Horn Valley Thoughts”, led by the Ark, also came to an end with the completion of the thesis.

Perhaps because the correspondent hung up the name of the ark, or because the Horn Valley conjecture itself was attractive to logarithmic enthusiasts, the paper sent on Arxiv caused a lot of sensation in the mathematical world.

Many refer to Cape Valley speculation as another triumph of the "cluster approach”.

And most surprisingly, it wasn't the Ark that did it, but his three students did it...

On the morning of the 27th, there is one day left before the return flight.

Sitting in the office of the Institute of Advanced Studies, the Ark is reviewing a paper submitted by Vera.

Although he had seen the entire certification process, there were no major problems, as their mentor, he was obliged to examine them again carefully to rule out minor problems in the details before the paper was officially submitted.

Also, determine the name of the paper.

In accordance with general practice, the names of the three persons are hung on the papers in order of contribution.

As for the Ark, it hangs in the position of the author of the Four Works and Correspondence.

Of course, as their mentor, he also has the right to take these achievements for himself, but as an accomplished boss, he certainly wouldn't do it.

The average mentor may not wish to give such an outcome to the student, but for him the problem does not exist.

It's just the glory of a Cape Valley guess.

Even if you put it on him, it's just an addition at best.

In addition to the signatures of the papers, papers of this collaborative nature will generally indicate in the papers what specific work has been accomplished by the authors. Especially at the international level, the major research institutions attach relatively greater importance to this part than simply ranking the authors of the thesis.

However, when examining the paper, the Ark noticed that Vera had not broken it down, but had skipped it with the phrase "These-authors-contributed-even y-to-this-work”.

As is customary in academia, the addition of this sentence to a thesis means that all authors have the same contribution in the thesis, and no one is superfluous.

And this also means that all authors in a paper are considered parallel authors, regardless of whether they add an additional asterisk after the name.

“Is this really okay?” Examine the paper from beginning to end, and the ark casts a gaze of inquiry at Vera standing across the desk, "which is unfair to you. ”

Although not directly involved in subsequent studies, as their mentor, the Ark has been following up on their project progress.

For example, weekly discussion sessions, as long as he was present mostly in Princeton, he would carefully read the report on the milestones.

Excluding their own help to them, it is no exaggeration to say that Vera accounted for more than 70% of the contributions throughout the study, with Qin Yue and Hadi accounting for only 30% of the contributions.

Vera shook her head and said softly: “I simply like to study these issues, as to who is contributing more… I think it would be better not to have to split too thinly. ”

“… since you have said so, I respect your decision.” Hearing her say that, the Ark stopped persuading her.

Qin Yue at least did a lot of work. Hadi was a little suspected of picking up cheap, but Vera was willing to distribute credit equally to them, and as a mentor he would not say anything.

At best, she felt a little sorry for her and could have received a higher rating.

After a moment of pause, the ark placed the paper on the table and watched Vera continue.

“As promised, I will help you apply for graduation. About March or April, your diploma will be in your hands. If you're going to read Bo here, it's best to submit your application as soon as possible, and I'll pass it on my side. ”

For a familiar student, interviewing or something is just walking past the field, and he knows what his students are capable of.

After listening to the orders of the Ark, Vera nodded as seriously as ever.

“Well, I get it! ”
