After Christmas, Lu Zhou’s trip back to China has entered a countdown.

Less than three days left, before returning to China, he plans to finish the matter at hand, and saves him from coming back here. He has to be busy with where to start.

The first is about the “existence and smoothness of solutions for three-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations”.

For Lu Zhou, this can be said to be the most important research topic in addition to the study of plasma turbulence.

Since the establishment of the “NS Task Force”, only a discussion meeting on distribution work has been held so far, and now he has to leave Princeton for a while. In order not to delay the research progress, he must explain the situation to his own research partners.

The next day, Lu Zhou went to Nassau Hall to submit a holiday application, and then went to the building of Princeton University’s Mathematics Department to find the office of the Fefferman Professor.

When he arrived, Fefferman Professor was discussing with his students the academic meeting of the American Mathematics Society next month.

Looking at Lu Zhou, who appeared at the door of the office, Fefferman Professor quickly noticed the fake strips pinched on his hand, so he laughed.

“Are you planning to return to China?”

Lu Zhou: “Yes, the Spring Festival is our holiday compared to Christmas. I will probably wait until 2 is over in the middle of the month.”

After listening to Lu Zhou’s words, the Fefman Professor agreed to nodded, saying in a relaxed tone: “You really need a holiday to relax yourself. Few of the Scholars will force themselves so embarrassed, in such a short time. Participate in so many studies.”

“Is it so hard?” Lu Zhou shook his head. “I don’t think I’m pushing myself. It’s better to say that research itself is a fun thing.”

“I think so when I was young,” Fefferman said with a smile. “But now I find that no matter how interesting the problems are, they should be moderate.”

Lu Zhou said without words: “…that’s because you have all the honors you can get.”

Just earlier this year, the Wolff Foundation announced the winners list, the most influential mathematics award winner is the Fefferman Professor.

In the field of mathematics, the Wolf Prize can be regarded as an award similar to the Lifetime Achievement Award, which is mainly awarded to the mathematics homes of 40 and older in recognition of their long-standing contributions to the mathematics community.

As the youngest Field’s Medal winner ever, Fefferman received a genius title at a young age, and now he is highly regarded for his Lifetime Achievement Award in his later years. As far as the identity of the mathematics family is concerned, he can say that he has no regrets in his life.

“How come? The award is not finished, let alone I still lack an Abel Prize,” Faverman Professor lost with a smile. “In short, you can enjoy the livelihood now, what do I say before 2 months? Will not send you any mail.”

Lu Zhou: “What about the NS equation?”

Fefferman Professor insisted: “Wait until after a month has passed.”

Seeing that he didn’t intend to change his mind, Lu Zhou had to reluctantly shrugged.

“Well, since you insisted.”

……

In addition to the research project with the Fefferman Professor, the topic of “The Corner Guess” led by Lu Zhou personally came to an end with the completion of thesis.

Perhaps it is because the author of the communication hangs the name of Lu Zhou, or perhaps because of the attraction of the horny conjecture itself to the hobby of the number theory. The thesis that was sent to Arxiv caused a lot of sensation in the field of number theory.

Many people refer to the proof of the Gu Gu guess as another victory of the “group structure”.

And what is most surprising is that this time it was not Lu Zhou’s personal shot, but his three students completed…

On the morning of 27, there is still one day from the return flight.

Sitting in the office of the Institute of Advanced Studies, Lu Zhou is reviewing thesis that Vera handed over.

Although he has seen the whole process of proof, there is no big problem, but as their mentor, before thesis is officially submitted, he is obliged to help them to check it again and eliminate some minor problems.

And, determine the signature of thesis.

According to the general practice, the names of three people are listed on thesis according to the order of contribution.

As for Lu Zhou, it is hanging in the position of the four works and the author of the communication.

Of course, as their mentor, of course he also has the right to take these results for himself, but as a wary Boss, he certainly will not do this.

The general tutor may not be willing to give this result to the student, but for him there is no such problem.

The glory of a corner valley conjecture.

Even if you put him on, at most, it is just a icing on the cake.

In addition to the signature of thesis, the cooperative nature of thesis will generally indicate in thesis what the authors have done specifically. Especially in the international arena, compared with the simple ranking of thesis authors, major research institutions are relatively more concerned about this part.

However, when checking thesis, Lu Zhou noticed that Vera did not subdivide these things, just use a “These-authors-contributed-equally-to-this-work” to skip this part.

According to the academic practice, adding this sentence to thesis means that all authors have the same contribution in thesis, and no one is redundant.

This also means that all authors in thesis are treated as side-by-side authors, regardless of whether they are preceded by an asterisk.

“Is that really okay?” Checking thesis from start to finish, Lu Zhou cast a look at Vera, who was standing across the desk. “It’s unfair for you.”

Although not directly involved in the follow-up study, as their mentor, Lu Zhou has been following up on their project progress.

For example, in the weekly discussion meeting, as long as he is present in Princeton, most of the reports will be carefully read.

Apart from the help they have provided to them, it is no exaggeration to say that Vera’s contribution to the entire research project has reached more than 70%, and Qin Yue and Hardy’s contribution is only 30%.

Vera shook her head and said softly: “I just like to study these problems simply. As for who contributed more… I don’t think it’s better to be too fine.”

“… Since you have said this, I respect your decision.” When she heard her say this, Lu Zhou no longer persuaded.

Qin Yue has made a lot of effort, and Hardy is a bit sceptical, but Vera is willing to give them equal credit. He will not say anything as a mentor.

Most of them, just a little pity for her, she could have got a higher rating.

After a pause, Lu Zhou put thesis on the table and watched Vera continue.

“According to the original agreement, I will help you apply for graduation. About three or four months, the diploma can be sent to your hands. If you plan to read Bo in my place, it is best to apply as soon as possible, I am also here. I will pass it.”

For the familiar student, what is interviewed is just a walk through the field, what is the ability of his student, and he has a number in his heart.

After listening to Lu Zhou’s embarrassment, Vera is as seriously nodded as ever.

“Well, I know!”
