Chapter 495 She Won’t Receive the Award
Su Yi will no longer participate in the subsequent academic exchange meeting, and the organizers also expressed understanding.
They just felt a little emotional because they actually witnessed a Millennium Prize problem being solved in front of them.
And the person who proved this difficult problem was Gu Suyi, who is known as "the greatest mathematical genius of the 21st century."
Although they all knew that this was Su Yi's doctoral research topic, many doctoral students would be delayed for several years due to research problems. They also knew that this problem would definitely be solved for a mathematical genius who had never experienced failure.
I just didn't expect it to come so suddenly.
In fact, there are even many mathematics teams that are speeding up their research on the "P and NP problem", trying to solve this difficult problem before Su Yi, so as to dampen the opponent's enthusiasm and give China a slap in the face!
However, they were all disappointed in the end.
It's impossible to guard against it at all.
Too fast!
This also means that their previous research results are almost useless.
No, not necessarily.
Maybe what Gu Suyi proved was wrong?
Some teams did not give up and studied Su Yi's paper word by word, thinking they found her mistakes, and then published them on arVix, accusing her paper of being inaccurate.
But soon, when Su Yi presented the literature and correct arguments, the other party was humiliated again.
This is the third time that the Clay Institute has given Su Yi a bonus.
The first one was the Poincaré conjecture. Although she and her senior brothers were not the first to prove it, they also proved it using another method, so they also got half of the prize money.
The second time was when she and Professor Zhang Yuan jointly proved the Goldbach conjecture.
The third time was when she independently proved and solved the "P and NP problem".
As for the New Mersenne Conjecture and Kakutani Conjecture, although they are also relatively famous problems, they are not included in the catalog of Millennium Prize problems.
But even so, the honors she has received are enough to make any country jealous.
Her achievements have undoubtedly raised China's status in the international mathematics community to several heights.
The most important reason is that she is young.
Gu Suyi is too young!
So much so that her potential is greater than any famous mathematician.
unless……
She died young.
Otherwise, as she said, she would never stop studying mathematics.
On the one hand, they were troubled as to why Gu Suyi was not from their country. Many countries even offered extremely generous and favorable conditions in an attempt to lure Suyi to their country...
But on the other hand, they hope that Su Yi can continue on this path of mathematical research.
Every difficult problem solved has extraordinary significance for the progress of the entire era.
However, this time Su Yi refused the prize from the Clay Mathematics Institute.
The reason is very simple.
She won't be accepting the award.
As early as the next day after uploading the paper to arVix, Su Yi flew from Country M and returned to China.
She did not regret what she did that day. After all, it was about mathematics. Even if her personal safety was a little more dangerous, she could try her best to avoid the chance of danger in the future.
The prize money offered by the Clay Mathematics Institute requires personal attendance and a press conference.
Who can guarantee that there won’t be any accidents when she goes to receive the award?
After the mathematician Gregory proved the Poincaré conjecture, he refused to accept the award and even rejected the offer of a professorship from a famous university.
And she is not the first person to do this.
What's more, she is not short of money at all. Compared to money, personal safety is the most important.
…
After returning to China, she was almost immediately summoned to the Institute of Mathematics by Professor Yang. Other professors surrounded her, and their expressions were all extremely excited. Su Yi was a little worried about these elderly professors.
Keep reassuring them and tell them not to get excited.
"Good for you, little Gu, you actually made such a big fuss without making any noise!"
"It was just an accident."
"Why did you come back? Shouldn't the Clay Mathematics Institute give you an award?"
"Not so fast, they still need to confirm it. And I won't be going to accept the award. The prize money is not the most important thing to me. I just want to make sure my paper does not have any errors or omissions..."
Su Yi patiently answered each professor's questions, and finally coaxed them to leave, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he met Mr. Yang's complicated expression, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.
Su Yi felt his scalp tingling, and couldn't help but say, "Mr. Yang, if you have any questions, just ask. I will tell you everything I know!"
