The Science Fiction World of Xueba

德 Under Deligne's introduction, Pang Xuelin and the big brothers met again.

有 Some of these people have met in the real world, while others have met for the first time.

Deligne hosted a cold dinner at a hotel near Princeton University that night, and welcomed Pang Xuelin.

After eating, at the invitation of Deline, Pang Xuelin and Deline went shopping in the small town of Princeton.

Located between New York and Philadelphia, Princeton is a unique town.

The small town is located in the Delaware Plain in southwestern New Jersey, with an area of ​​about 7 square kilometers. It is bordered by Lake Carnegie in the east and the Delaware River in the west.

景色 Princeton Town has beautiful scenery, tree-lined trees, and clear rivers flowing quietly around the town. Coupled with the rich humanities of Princeton University, this town has become a popular place for the upper class in the United States.

As a world-class top university, Princeton University has a small number of students, including about 4,600 undergraduate students and about 1,800 graduate students. The school's student-teacher ratio has reached an amazing 6: 1.

In undergraduate education, Princeton is a global leader.

Especially in the field of mathematics, Princeton University and the Institute of Advanced Studies of Princeton together form a world-renowned mathematical research center.

In the real world, when Pang Xuelin graduated from Jiangcheng University, the first choice was Deligne's graduate student. Unfortunately, the big brother didn't look after him. In desperation, Pang Xuelin had to go to Ulca to find Tao Zhexuan.

He later came to Princeton, but every time he came by, he just hurried past, and never once enjoyed walking on the streets of this town so much as today.

"Pang, your proof of the Fermat conjecture is very clever. I have studied it no less than ten times and found that some of the theoretical frameworks used in it are very interesting, a bit like the Far Abelian geometry my supervisor once proposed, but it seems to be more advanced. As a step, have you considered further perfecting this theory? "

Deline said as he walked.

Pang Xuelin smiled and said, "Professor Deligne, are you talking about Ponzi's geometric theory?"

"Ponzi geometry?" Deligne paused, turned to look at Pang Xuelin, surprised, "You have sorted out this theory?"

Xi Pang Xuelin nodded and smiled, "It is indeed sorted out, and I am going to present this theory at this report."

Deligne paused for a while, then said with a smile: "Pang, I was still a little worried. Will you have problems at the report due to external pressure? I did not expect that you were not in the unexpected world at all. Want to tell your new theory at the report ... "

Pang Xuelin laughed and said, "In fact, as long as you understand the core concept of Ponzi geometry, you can naturally understand the proof logic of Fermat's conjecture. I am not a partial question. Professor Deligne, in fact, what you just said Yes, my Ponzi geometry theory is indeed developed on the basis of Far Abelian geometry. I have always wanted to see Mr. Grothendieck and discuss my Ponzi geometry theory with him, but unfortunately, I heard that Mr. Grothendieck had retired from the University of Montpellier and he lived in the Pyrenees, no more foreigners ... "

Deligne frowned: "After the teacher retired, he really didn't see the foreigner. Even if I wanted to meet him, it was difficult. But Pang, if you really sort out Ponzi's geometry theory, I can help you pass it on. Take a look at the teacher, maybe the teacher is interested to see you. "

"Really?"

As Peng Xuelin's eyes brightened, Deligne was a student of Grothendieck.

In the real world, Grothendieck died in 2014, and Pang Xuelin had no chance to meet him again.

If you can meet the pope in the world of the country teacher and this pope in algebraic geometry, Grothendieck, the greatest mathematician of the twentieth century, may have an unexpected gain.

At least, those manuscripts burned before Grothendieck's death may be destined to be seen.

Deligne said: "I am at least 80% sure. You are a genius boy who has solved Fermat's conjecture, and is likely to be the youngest Fields Prize winner. The framework of Ponzi's geometric theory is huge, Your mentor must be interested in you! "

Pang Xuelin said: "Professor Deligne, then I will sort out the relevant theoretical data of Ponzi geometry for you as soon as possible, and then I will trouble you a lot!"

Deline laughed: "Okay, you give me the information, I will arrange it for you as soon as possible."

Uh ...

In the next two days, under the arrangement of Deligne, Pang Xuelin visited Princeton University and the Princeton Advanced Institute, and met many other experts in the professional field.

Until the third day, on March 18, 1993, Pang Xuelin officially held the Fermat Conjecture Academic Report in the Princeton University Auditorium.

This report will attract the attention of the global media.

In recent days, Pang Xuelin's name has appeared frequently in major media around the world.

是否 Whether the 20-year-old really proved Fermat's conjecture has become the focus of controversy.

The party that supports Pang Xuelin believes that since Pang Xuelin decided to hold a lecture in Princeton, it shows that he is 100% sure, otherwise he does not have to stand up and let the world's top mathematicians pick him.

Pang Fang believes that Pang Xuelin is only twenty years old and has never received professional academic training. He has no ability to solve such problems. He is just a puppet figure launched by the Chinese government.

Information of all kinds of controversy flies.

Therefore, the report day attracted hundreds of media from all over the world to bring together Princeton.

得到 After obtaining the consent of Pang Xuelin and Princeton University, the report was licensed to reporters, and n even got permission to record and broadcast the whole process.

八 At 8:30 in the morning, Pang Xuelin finished breakfast at the hotel, returned to the room to change clothes, and then accompanied by Xie Yongxin, went straight to the Princeton University Auditorium.

At the entrance of the hall ~ www.NovelMTL.com ~ Deligne, as the host, is welcoming mathematicians from all over the world.

David Brian Manford, Charles Feverman, Daniel Quillen, William Thurston, Yau Shing Tong, Mori Chungman ...

I saw people who had their names carved in the history of mathematics in the twentieth century one by one at the report. Even Xie Yongxin, who was always with Pang Xuelin, became a little excited.

虽然 Although he is the president of the Chinese Mathematical Society, there is still a certain gap between these scholars and their famous positions in the international mathematical community.

整 At nine o'clock in the morning, after a lengthy speech by the host of the report, Pang Xuelin stepped onto the podium.

There was a sound of exclamation immediately under the ring.

Not a few scholars met Pang Xuelin for the first time.

Although it has been known for a long time that the Chinese who proved Fermat's conjecture has just turned twenty, these mathematicians really felt the impact of young people after seeing Pang Xuelin's slightly immature face.

"Hello everyone, my name is Pang Xuelin, and I am very happy to be able to communicate with your colleagues on the Fermat conjecture today at Princeton."

Xun Pang Xuelin's tone was not unsatisfactory. He had experienced this scene for a long time, without feeling nervous at all.

"Before the briefing, I would like to thank Princeton University and Professor Deligne for preparing for the briefing."
