On August 19, the 26th International Congress of Mathematicians officially opened.
More than 2,000 mathematicians from all over the world gathered here, and together with their accompanying students, the total number of attendees reached 4,000. They included renowned international experts, shining international scholars, renowned mathematicians, and countless young people from various countries who were rising to fame...
At this moment, the conference hall was filled with the atmosphere of shining stars in the mathematical world, with voices of greeting and salute everywhere.
"Mr. Wiles! Mr. Deligne!" Tao greeted with a smile, "You're here too!"
"Of course, we guessed it right. You will definitely be there. Please help me find that amazing child." Andrew Wiles spread his hands. "You know, just like you sometimes have trouble telling us apart, I sometimes have trouble telling Oriental people apart. I've tried very hard to remember Wu's appearance. She's a beautiful little girl like a flower, just as beautiful as my precious daughters!"
To be on the safe side, Andrew Wiles asked Terence Tao, a Chinese, to be his guide as soon as he arrived at the venue.
"They should be over there!" Tao Zhexuan looked around and found Zhou Wenping, who was quite familiar to him, and the back of a young girl who was clearly visible beside him.
"Mr. Wiles, Professor Zhou Wenping is over there. The little girl next to him should be Wu Tong. They are talking to Xu Chenyang!"
Wu Tong and Zhou Wenping and his group entered the venue a little after eight o'clock. Following Zhou Wenping's guidance, they met some well-known Chinese scholars, many of whom even graduated from Peking University.
"This is you, Xu Chenyang. Senior Brother Xu, currently a postdoctoral student at MIT. He has outstanding performance in algebra, especially algebraic clusters, and has been invited to join the University of Utah!"
"Teacher Zhou, you're so pitiful to me. How can I dare to call myself outstanding in the face of such dazzling achievements by my junior sister? The proof of the two major conjectures is something that even I, as a senior, dare not even think of!
"After I finish my internship here, I hope my alma mater will take me, a wandering child, in. I will learn a lot from you in the future, and I hope you will be generous with your guidance!" Xu Chenyang respectfully joked with Zhou Wenping, revealing his idea of returning to serve his country, and then turned to greet Wu Tong with a smile.
"Brother Xu, you are too polite. I have only taken a small step in number theory. In the field of algebra, I still need your advice!" Algebraic clusters are an interesting direction. Wu Tong's research in the field of algebra is not as in-depth as in number theory. It can only be said that he has some basic knowledge.
It is not a good idea to bite off more than you can chew. It may be a good idea to take it one step at a time and turn to research in this field after she finishes the small project she is working on.
"Chenyang, are you sure you want to return to your alma mater? We can talk about this in detail later!" Zhou Wenping understood what you meant and was very happy.
Xu Chenyang, one of the four great kings of the millennium golden generation, was returning to China to teach. Peking University, as his alma mater, naturally welcomed him very much. This was no small matter and could not be explained in a few words. After Zhou Wenping and Xu Chenyang made an appointment for the next time, he turned around and smiled and helped Wu Tong introduce his next acquaintance.
"This is Professor Shouwu Zhang, currently teaching in the Department of Mathematics at Princeton, a leading scholar in number theory and algebraic geometry!"
"Hello, Professor Zhang!"
"Hello, Wu Tong. I'm very surprised to see that a child from our country has become famous internationally!" Zhang Shouwu smiled and shook hands with Wu Tong. Although he was teaching in Country M, he still cared about his motherland. He was sincerely happy to see that his motherland had such amazing mathematical talents that shocked the world.
"Zhou, Zhang, long time no see, beautiful girls, you must be Wu, the prover of Zhou's conjecture, twin prime conjecture, and Polignac's conjecture!" As they were talking, a warm greeting suddenly interrupted them. Everyone turned their heads and saw the smiling face of Mr. Andrew Wiles.
"Mr. Wiles, Mr. Deligne, Zhexuan, long time no see!" Zhou Wenping was naturally delighted to see them and quickly shook hands with each of them. "Yes, this is Wu Tong. She proved these three conjectures!"
"Mr. Wiles, Mr. Deligne, Mr. Tao, hello, it's an honor to meet you!" Wu Tong was not flustered when his name was suddenly called. He followed Zhou Wenping's rhythm to greet everyone one by one.
She had only seen three Fields Medal winners, world-class mathematicians, in her archives. Today, she was meeting them in person. These were all mathematicians with their own remarkable achievements. Compared to them, her results were merely a minor improvement.
To be honest, Wu Tong was flattered and surprised to be introduced to him by these people.
"Finally I meet you, amazing girl. You solved Zhou's conjecture in April, and the twin prime conjecture and Polignac conjecture in July. You also created the infinite group proof method. In three months, you solved three conjectures. You did it, a miracle that I couldn't do!" Andrew Wiles gave a thumbs up and praised enthusiastically. As a famous child prodigy who had been connected with Fermat's Last Theorem at the age of ten, he seldom admired anyone.
And now, this little girl has truly amazed them all! They are happy about the progress of mathematics and admire the youth of mathematics.
"Wu Tong also solved the Polignac conjecture. What about the infinite group proof method?" This was the simultaneous surprise of Zhang Shouwu and Xu Chenyang. When did this happen?
It hasn't been published yet? Have these three Fields Medal winners recognized it? They thought they already valued Wu Tong enough, but they didn't expect Wu Tong to have two more significant achievements that would once again shock the world.
"You can look forward to Wu Tong's report. I believe that by now, the staff of the organizing committee have uploaded Wu Tong's report manuscript to the official website, and you should be able to download Wu Tong's report!" Tao Zhexuan pointed out with a smile. When it comes to mathematicians' familiarity with the Internet, he is still a leader.
"It is said that Wu Tong solved the Polignac conjecture in ten days for a report at the Mathematicians' Congress!" Thinking about the news he had heard, Tao Zhexuan couldn't help but be shocked again. Solving a world-class conjecture in ten days, even for him, who is known as a genius with high IQ, it is estimated that he cannot challenge it.
This little girl's talent in mathematics seems to have been kissed by God, which is shocking and enviable.
"Thank you for the compliment. Actually, I also touched upon the Polignac conjecture when I was studying twin primes!" Wu Tong felt a little embarrassed by the direct compliment and quickly explained modestly. She wasn't starting from scratch after completing the task in ten days.
Xu Chenyang held his forehead. Wu Tong was only seventeen years old. Even if we counted all the time Wu Tong had been exposed to number theory, how much time could he have? Was this a true genius?
Back then, they were called the golden generation of the millennium, the so-called four mathematical geniuses... In front of his junior high school sister, he seemed ashamed to use those two words.
