Seeing the enthusiastic expression in Perelman's eyes, Lu Zhou was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile.
"...It's nothing, I just didn't expect it." After coming back to his senses, Lu Zhou coughed lightly and said, "I think any mathematician in the world will feel this when he sees Perelman standing at the door of his home. Surprised... Why don't you send me an email? I can have someone pick you up at the airport."
To his surprise, the first person to react was Zuckerberg, who he had thought would try his best to prevent Star Technology's virtual reality technology from landing in North America.
At least when most people cannot see that there is any other technology that can become a substitute for the "Phantom" system, or that can bypass the patent barriers set by Starry Sky Technology in virtual reality technology, cooperation with Starry Sky Technology is far better than The risk of finding another way is much lower.
"Can you teach me?"
But on the third day after the paper was published, Lu Zhou, who had finished his retreat, came to the office and planned to go to the classroom to teach the undergraduates in person for the first time in a long time. An unexpected person stood in his office. door.
Of course, even if all of their surprises were added up, none of them would be more surprised than Lu Zhou himself.
Looking at Lu Zhou sincerely, Perelman said nonchalantly.
Through an ingenious mathematical method, the paper obtains the graded structure of motive corresponding to the cohomology ring, and combines all cohomology theories into an abstract geometric object.
Prior to this, when Facebook announced the acquisition of Oculus for US$2 billion in 2014, it was generally viewed as Facebook's move to pay for the future.
So much so that, unknown to him, he has even become a role model in the minds of "folk mathematicians" on Arxiv.
In addition to this topical paper, what concerns many people is that the reviewer of this paper is actually Perelman, who has retired from the mathematics community for many years.
As we all know, motivation theory studies the abstract meaning behind numbers.
Only those who have an unusual relationship with him know that he is in retreat for a great work.
"Isn't this a university?" Perelman frowned, but looked at Lu Zhou with a strange look on his face, "Do I need to send an email in advance when I come to the university to exchange academic issues?"
"I found a very interesting point when I was studying your paper. When you abstracted the cohomology theory into a geometric object, you mentioned that Motive is regarded as a high-dimensional analogy of the Jacobian of a curve. I want to know why you Will do it.”
Looking at the expressionless Perelman, Lu Zhou, who was holding a textbook under his elbow, was slightly stunned and didn't speak for a while.
However, according to the evaluation of major financial companies on Wall Street, the valuation of virtual reality business alone has exceeded 100 billion US dollars, and the future value-added expectations are simply difficult to estimate.
He knew what was truly important to Facebook and what was just icing on the cake.
Since Starry Sky Technology, like most companies with good capital and operating conditions, has not chosen to go public to make money, there is no way to give a valuation through the market that meets everyone's expectations.
Anyone who knows him knows how much he "hates" the "arrogant" review model of academic journals. Almost every paper is published on Arxiv and communicates with young colleagues in the form of open discussions.
The only difference is that Starry Sky Technology not only controls the world’s first neural access operating system based on virtual reality technology, but is also the holder of a virtual reality technology patent...
When Musk finally made up his mind to find Star Technology, he found that he was still a step too late.
And this is a conservative estimate based on the lack of understanding of the specific business model.
I have to say, this ending is really disappointing.
If he succeeds, he will undoubtedly become the greatest scholar since the time of Archimedes.
"Okay, okay... But there will be a number theory class later. I'm afraid I have to wait until after four o'clock to discuss this issue with you."
This is not just a pursuit of mathematicians, it has even risen to the level of philosophy and even theology.
If you want to find someone whose achievements are comparable to his, I'm afraid you will have to wait in the long river of time to come.
Not because of my own reviewers.
Zuckerberg has a large family business and can afford to pay a mere US$2 billion. Over the years, Facebook has paid more than US$2 billion in fines issued by various countries.
During this period of time, he seemed to have disappeared and faded out of people's sight.
Many questions have not yet been answered, and reporters from all over the world hope to have the opportunity to interview Lu Zhou.
Just when virtual reality concept startups in Silicon Valley were crying like wolves and ghosts, many smart people like Zuckerberg had already found Star Technology and started discussing cooperation.
If the general trend is unstoppable, it is undoubtedly a more appropriate approach to go with the trend.
Lu Zhou shook his head and said: "Actually, this is not entirely my idea. I have seen similar things in Professor Grothendieck's manuscript on Weil's conjecture, which gave me some inspiration—"
Looking at Lu Zhou, Perelman answered concisely and concisely.
By the time his secretary reported this matter to him, this cunning old fox had taken his Facebook to split the business of its subsidiary Oculus, laying off more than 2,000 employees. Only the core employees responsible for the main business have been retained. It seems that they have made plans to stop losses in time and switch sides to Star Technology when the westerly wind blows across the Pacific.
"math."
Although Star Technology's product launch conference can satisfy the curiosity of the general public to a certain extent, for this technology that is about to bring about earth-shaking changes to human society, a mere product launch conference is obviously not enough.
The value behind this is not to mention 100 billion.
While shocked by the advancement of virtual reality technology, almost all companies in financial-related industries are evaluating the possible impacts of this newly born technology.
From this point of view, it seems that Lu Zhou, who has just solved the Riemann Hypothesis, is not satisfied with this crown that has stood in the mathematical world for nearly two centuries. Instead, he has gradually penetrated into the core field of algebraic geometry—that is, the study of numbers. The hidden geometry behind it.
In fact, Zuckerberg did it out of necessity.
Rather than letting Oculus drag Facebook into an almost impossible-to-win battle to fulfill its ambition to dominate the field of virtual reality, it is more important to defend its core business.
This is not even something that money can measure...
However, when he saw that Xingkong Technology had moved the technology he dreamed of to the product launch conference, he knew clearly that he no longer had the opportunity to take his time.
However, for other virtual reality concept startups in Silicon Valley, it is as bleak as a nightmare. It’s as if we have just passed through the early spring of March and then entered the cold winter of the twelfth lunar month. There is no preparation at all and there is not even the slightest hope of getting through it.
"It's okay, I can wait!"
This hermit who once arrogantly refused a million-dollar bonus and publicly stated that he was completely disappointed with the current mathematics world actually accepted the review invitation for "Mathematical Invention"
"Of course not, but I think it is still necessary when visiting specific people... Of course, I just don't care," Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Can you satisfy my curiosity? What made you decide? Get out of the house?"
Perelman: "What's wrong?"
At the same time, just as the whole world was going crazy about virtual reality technology, a paper published in "Mathematical Invention" also aroused strong responses from mathematicians around the world.
However, no matter how these reporters tried to sneak into JJTU, or even sneaked into the number theory class while avoiding security, there was no trace of Academician Lu at all.
It’s not just the technology world that’s causing shock, but also the global financial world.
This is unbelievable in the eyes of most scholars.
This situation is just like when Microsoft dominated the personal computer market with its graphical Windows system.
If it is true, as many people have speculated, Starry Sky Technology intends to regard cloud computing as its main business, integrate all future virtual reality networks into one or more supercomputing centers, and use this to promote hard or soft payment projects …
Maybe give Oculus enough time to gradually improve the head-mounted virtual reality technology, and maybe one day there will be an immersive virtual reality technology that can achieve 99% somatosensory simulation.
