Although I don't quite understand what he understood.
"That was my plan at first, but now I have given up the idea."
Slightly startled, Professor Zhang was silent for a while, and then sighed.
Dean Qin: "...?"
Lu Zhou: "...?"
When Professor Zhang Shouwu suddenly asked this question, Lu Zhou, who was drinking tea, was slightly stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile.
"It seems you have made up your mind."
…
How embarrassing...
Having said this, he suddenly smiled, his tone filled with admiration and emotion.
"Perhaps you are right. The so-called academic reputation is just something insignificant. As a scholar, the only thing worth insisting on is what he believes is correct."
It's not easy to convince him.
"I welcome you with both hands," Dean Qin smiled and continued: "By the way, I found that the more than 100 tickets we released earlier seemed to have been resold online. It just so happened that our registration system was also updated. Well, why don’t we just cancel these hundreds of tickets without registering passport information?”
If Jinling University intends to build itself into a world-class mathematics center, it would be better to do less of this kind of dishonorable thing.
At least, scholars who are really engaged in research in this field will definitely be able to get it.
The seven-day registration period ends soon.
It was Professor Zhang Shouwu, a great scholar in the Chinese mathematics community and a direct disciple of Professor Faltings. His research on the Gross-Chakia formula was outstanding, and he won the Morningside Mathematics Gold Medal, known as the "Chinese Fields Medal".
"Is there anyone who wins or loses here?"
Because of Mr. Faltings, people who had previously had doubts about the paper, but who did not dare to say anything due to Lu Zhou's academic prestige, now also jumped out one after another, and those who supported Lu Zhou Proof... Even scholars who were ready to cite it were quarreling in the forum.
Faltings is a powerful scholar. Both in terms of academic prestige and academic achievements, he can be said to be at the forefront of contemporary times. Some even call him the first person after Grothendieck.
The price of the hundreds of tickets for the report that had been leaked earlier seems to have been raised to US$50,000 each. And this also makes many people who have successfully obtained admission feel like they have earned money.
Excluding the more than 200 admission qualifications sent out by invitation letters, there are still more than 2,000 admission places. As long as the academic qualifications are passed, you will definitely be able to obtain admission qualifications through registration.
Moreover, he was also quite curious as to who would buy these tickets.
If he hadn't suddenly remembered that he had too much money to spend, he would have wanted to "manage" it himself.
Zhang Shouwu said anxiously: "But what if you lose? Not only your academic reputation, but also the academic reputation of the Chinese mathematics community will be affected by this. Have you considered this?"
This visitor is none other than someone else.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhou suddenly smiled sheepishly and unconsciously touched his handsome cheek with his right hand.
"How is it possible... why did you say that?"
"I'm not saying that, but it's been said in the mathematics community," Professor Zhang shook his head and continued to advise, "It's better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies, not to mention that both of them are pillars of the mathematics community. If Academician Lu and Falting If there is really any misunderstanding between Professor Si, although I may speak softly, I still hope to do my part to bring harmony between the international mathematics community and the domestic mathematics community and mediate between the two of you."
"...Is there any misunderstanding between Academician Lu and Professor Faltings?"
Dean Qin waved his hands and said with a smile: "What's the trouble? I wish you would hold more of these lectures and trouble me more times! You don't know how much Shuimuyan University envies us. That old guy Wang Shicheng They have come to my place more than once to talk to me, and they have tried their best to let us hold one at their Mathematics Center of Yanda University. You said that we are not short of funds or land, so why bother others? "
But I always feel...
You know, generally only younger scholars will go to this forum. Some older and more stubborn scholars do not like and disdain using the Internet to brag with their peers.
While Lu Zhou was carefully preparing for this lecture, an unexpected visitor suddenly visited Jinling University and came to visit him.
Lu Zhou had made some preparations for this report meeting.
At this time, it seems that besides smiling, anything else is superfluous...
"... The number of registration information has exceeded 20,000, and this is only the third day." After telling Lu Zhou about the registration situation, Dean Qin, who came to Lu Zhou's office, couldn't help but sigh, "... It's simply terrible, no. Those who know about it probably think that next year’s International Congress of Mathematicians will start early here in Jinling.”
Lu Zhou smiled and asked, "Did Professor Zhang come here specifically to persuade me?"
And the price seems pretty affordable.
Suddenly, Lu Zhou thought of a possibility.
After all, it is a question whether there are 2,000 people studying the Riemann Hypothesis in total, not to mention the unpopular "critical zone" research idea, and the unpopular quasi-Riemann Hypothesis.
What made him dumbfounded was that the hundreds of admission tickets that were not linked to passport information were actually listed on Amazon, Xianyu and other places.
Lu Zhou thought for a while and shook his head.
"No need. Since we released those tickets, it would not be good to suddenly regret it."
Lu Zhou did not expect that after the news of the report meeting was released, there would be such a violent response in the mathematics community.
Professor Zhang nodded, but then shook his head again, sighed softly and said.
“I’m finally beginning to understand a little bit now why you were able to achieve such an astounding achievement.”
Professor Zhang hesitated and continued: "Although I probably shouldn't say this, the time you chose to hold the report meeting...isn't it a little too hasty?"
Lu Zhou shook his head.
"I'm causing trouble for you."
After the last report meeting he held, the auditorium of the old campus was widened to a certain extent and can now accommodate two to three thousand people at the same time.
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "What you said makes sense, but it will cause a lot of trouble in the future."
Lu Zhou said with a slightly apologetic smile.
Even the administrator of the Mathoverflow forum did not expect that the number of visits to this unknown niche forum would quadruple because of the debate on the quasi-Riemann Hypothesis.
Are these people here for me
After selecting suitable candidates, Jinling University sent invitation letters in sequence according to the list.
"There is nothing sloppy or careless. I think there is no problem with my proof. Professor Faltings thinks there is a problem. If this is the case, we can communicate clearly at the report meeting."
Discussions on Mathoverflow are still ongoing, including debates about whether Lu Zhou’s previous paper on the “Quasi-Riemann Hypothesis” is true, and discussions about the upcoming lecture in Jinling in more than a week. Hot discussion.
Hearing this, Lu Zhou laughed and said, "Professor Zhang is serious... As for those rumors, they are just what others say."
The two sat down in front of the coffee table. After some pleasantries, the topic quickly turned to the upcoming report meeting.
But now, I see many elderly experts have registered accounts and become keyboard warriors on the forum. The webmaster of Mathoverflow website doesn’t know whether to cry or laugh...
Could it be...
Unless you make your logic impeccable!
Under the introduction of Dean Qin, Lu Zhou met Professor Zhang.
Lu Zhou smiled and asked back.
