Chapter 304: Out-of-place face

At 9 AM, the 2015 Mathematics Annual Meeting officially started. The lecture hall was densely packed with people. The meeting did not require formal attire, so many people, like Xu Qingzhou, wore casual clothes.

Even for such a national meeting, the process was similar to the sports meeting held by the school. Various leaders gave speeches, paid tribute to welcome speeches, affirmed the academic achievements of Xia Nation scholars this year, and looked forward to the future.

What was more distinctive was that the President of the International Mathematical Union, Fields Medal winner Shigefumi Mori, came to congratulate.

At 10 AM, the three major mathematical awards that everyone was most concerned about were officially announced.

Presiding over the award ceremony was Cai Xinyuan, Chairman of the Mathematical Society.

"In the past two years, the Xia Nation mathematics community has achieved extraordinary achievements..."

"Congratulations, Academician Lin Feiqun of the Xia Nation Academy of Sciences for winning the 12th Hua Luogeng Mathematics Award."

"Tonight, standing here, holding the heavy honor of the Chern Mathematics Award, my mood is incomparably excited, and at the same time, I feel deeply humble."

Read! {

Xu Qingzhou spoke eloquently for 3 minutes, bowed slightly to express his gratitude, and walked off the stage calmly.

He hadn't read the name yet, but everyone's eyes were already looking toward Xu Qingzhou.

Regarding the latter two, Xu Qingzhou felt that they were more inclined to be the Zhong Jiaqing Mathematics Award, aimed at graduate students, and the Chern Mathematics Award was also possible, after all, it was awarded to outstanding young mathematicians.

Chu Jiangfeng shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't thank us, it's all the result of your own hard work."

"When you first went on stage, I was worried that you would be nervous, not bad, calm, young people should have this kind of mentality."

No way, this young face looked out of place among a group of old people.

There was also Lei Shanming, who proposed the concept of "strong zero condition" and discovered the nonlinear intrinsic strong degenerate structure of the incompressible fluid equation system.

This old academician had long been engaged in the research of algorithms and theories of nonlinear optimization and deserved this award, and involving the word "senior", he certainly had no hope.

When gossiping in the dormitory before, I heard that Gu Zhizhong had publicly ridiculed Pang Handong in a math competition for not doing academics but engaging in office politics.

Pang Handong... He seemed to have some impression.

However, there was no surprise about Xu Qingzhou winning the award.

Chu Jiangfeng smiled and said: "Don't worry, with me and Old Gu here, Pang Handong can't make any big waves."

Xu Qingzhou nodded and thanked him again.

"Thank you Professor Gu, thank you Professor Chu."

Xu Qingzhou applauded along.

The achievements of these three young people were not low, and they were already professors at major prestigious universities. If Xu Qingzhou had not appeared, the Chern Mathematics Award would certainly have been one of them.

Academician Chu also had a smile on his face, just like Gu Zhizhong; at their age, they had already obtained what they should have obtained, and seeing their students show their faces was simply happier than standing on the stage themselves.

Xu Qingzhou thought to himself that he might be nervous about other things, but he was very skilled at receiving awards.

"Young man, congratulations."

Gu Zhizhong nodded.

When speaking on stage, he felt that this old man was quite hostile to him.

Gu Zhizhong looked at it and said disdainfully: "That old guy... Pang Handong from Fudan University."

"Respected Review Committee, representatives of the Chern family, colleagues, friends, and friends who follow this award ceremony in various ways."

"Thank you."

Academician Chu said: "Your appearance directly broke the original balance of the three candidates. This is not it, after struggling, the review group simply chose only one person."

Off stage, Gu Zhizhong nodded slightly with a smile, thinking to himself that the future of Xia Nation mathematics is promising. The phenomenon of seniority in the Xia Nation academic community has always existed. In addition to outstanding ability, one must also endure seniority. In recent years, many young mathematicians have indeed emerged in Xia Nation. Academician Zhong's student Fu Yun from the Academy of Sciences completely solved the symplectic resolution problem of nilpotent orbit closure and characterized its birational geometry. Xu Qingzhou sat calmly.

Everyone's eyes were very complicated, emotional, appreciative, amazed... and jealous and hostile.

Reading literary works, a thousand people can have a thousand Hamlets.

There was also the student of the old guy Pang Handong from Fudan University, named Yu Yankun, who independently solved the long-standing open problem of the global well-posedness of the two-dimensional elastic mechanics equation system.

"Just now Professor Tan said that the Chern Mathematics Award can have two places per session. This old guy's student is one of the candidates, and the probability of winning is quite high." Gu Zhizhong continued.

Xu Qingzhou nodded, finally understanding the hostility.

Cai Xinyuan spoke:

That look, wishing to eat him.

!.

It's a pity that with this kid's achievements, the Fields Medal is not a problem, and the Wolf Prize in Mathematics in January next year is also worth looking forward to.

This kind of award is different from literary awards. Even if the review committee does not announce the winner, everyone can guess it almost correctly.

After receiving the certificate and medal, Xu Qingzhou began to give a short acceptance speech.

The process soon reached the Chern Mathematics Award.

Xu Qingzhou smiled modestly.

Two middle-aged men with slightly sparse hair went on stage, took the certificates and medals from Cai Xinyuan and Vice Chairman Professor Tan Yizhen, and then gave acceptance speeches.

"Congratulations, Little Xu." Gu Zhizhong and Chu Jiangfeng both walked over.

He and Xu Qingzhou had said many times that people who do academics must be able to sit on the cold bench and focus on academics. This old guy is so old, and he is still thinking about the little power in his hands.

Warm applause sounded in the lecture hall.

"Let us congratulate the National Ten Thousand Talents Program young scholar Xu Qingzhou for winning the 15th Chern Mathematics Award!"

"This winner is very special. In two years, he has created miracles in the field of number theory. The results of his research are a milestone contribution to the study of prime numbers. Undoubtedly, his name will be recorded in the history of great mathematics."

These words were just said in his heart. He pointed to an old man in the crowd and asked curiously: "Who is that?"

"Mathematics is an ancient and eternal discipline..."

Doing academic research, there is only one truth, and there is no such thing as benevolence seeing benevolence and wisdom seeing wisdom.

Greeting the professors and scholars who congratulated him one by one, and dealing with the reporters blocking the door of the hall, Xu Qingzhou went directly to the arranged hotel to retreat.

His photo and profile appeared on the big screen.

After the Zhong Jiaqing Award was presented, the opening ceremony ended.

Xu Qingzhou walked onto the stage. Cai Xinyuan and Tan Yizhen smiled gently, looking at this young man, both eyes filled with emotion.

19 years old, can it be considered young?

The Hua Luogeng Mathematics Award aims to reward senior mathematicians with outstanding academic achievements and social contributions.

In the afternoon, it was Hua Luogeng Award winner Lin Feiqun who gave a report on trust-region method algorithm design and convergence analysis.

In addition to large-scale invited reports, group reports will be held in seven fields including algebra and number theory, computational mathematics, analytical mathematics, probability and statistics, etc., in the next few days.

Xu Qingzhou planned to listen selectively, such as geometry and topology.

Zhang Yitang proved the existence of infinitely many adjacent prime numbers, and the interval does not exceed 70 million. The entire proof process used analytic number theory and arithmetic geometry.
