Wang Haiyang didn't dare to say anything. He was a little skeptical at first. This was a postgraduate question. Teacher Li asked a little girl who obviously didn't look very young to take a look at it for him. Isn't it too perfunctory?
However, before he could utter a word, he was slapped in the face by the girl. The girl's height was so high that he couldn't stop smiling!
His explanation of the questions was as thorough as that of the professor, and even more patient and meticulous than that of the professor. He felt that he had wasted four or five years of study.
When this god enters Kyoto University, he will definitely be a celebrity!
Here, Li Yisheng sighed, it turns out that excellent people are excellent at everything they do.
Wu Tong's first paper was very well written and translated. He couldn't find any major problems. He only modified a few special words to make the text more suitable for Western review.
"The problem is solved, right? If it is, Wang Haiyang, you can go back first!" Li Yisheng didn't have time to estimate how heartbroken the student was. After sending Wang Haiyang away, he called Wu Tong over and taught Wu Tong how to operate and log in to the Mathematical Annals submission website.
"Submit your paper to the Annals of Mathematics mailbox and rest in my office. Wait a moment while I go see Professor Zhou Wenping."
After connecting the device and clicking print, Li Yisheng went to the Center for Mathematical Research of Kyoto University with the still warm printed manuscript of the paper.
Professor Zhou Wenping is a top expert in number theory and fluid mathematics. He is the mainstay of Peking University's School of Mathematics, a Yangtze River Scholar, and a popular candidate for academician in the next few years.
The deputy director of the Kyoto University Research Center and the deputy dean of their School of Mathematics worked diligently to lay the mathematical foundation and establish the connection between the Doi-Onsager model and the macroscopic Ericksen-Leslie model; he studied the relationship between a series of models at different levels and scales and developed a unified model that can describe complex phases and dynamic behaviors... He is a top scholar in the domestic mathematics community.
"Professor Zhou!" Li Yishen knocked on the office door gently and entered the office after a brief reminder.
"Yisheng, please come in. How come you have time to come to my place today?" Zhou Wenping was working at his desk. Seeing Li Yisheng, he couldn't help but smile and stood up to greet him. Li Yisheng had been studying number theory for the past few years, and he and Zhou had interacted quite a bit, so they were quite familiar with each other.
He led Li Yisheng to the reception area and said, "My students just brought me some Mingqian Longjing tea yesterday. Let's try it together!"
Li Yisheng was so anxious that he had no time for tea. He and Professor Zhou were no strangers; Professor Zhou was his mentor in number theory. He said directly, "No, Professor Zhou, I have something to trouble you with. I have a student's paper in number theory that I need your help with."
"You're not even sure?" Zhou Wenping raised an eyebrow. Professor Li's number theory was quite advanced. While it wasn't his primary research area, he could still teach students. What kind of paper could possibly leave him feeling unsure about it?
"Yes, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. This kid's number theory skills are probably even better than mine!" Li Yisheng handed the Chinese version of the paper to Zhou Wenping. "You'll know once you take a look!"
"About the proof of Zhou's conjecture?" Zhou Wenping frowned upon seeing the question and pushed up his glasses. "Yisheng, are you trying to make fun of me?"
Zhou speculated that this was a world-class unsolved mystery, and Li Yisheng told him that a student had figured it out and showed it to him. What a joke! When did Xiao Li become so ridiculous?
He couldn't believe that he, Li Yisheng, had come up with it on his own, let alone a student!
Li Yisheng smiled bitterly. "Professor Zhou, please take a closer look. I witnessed this with my own eyes, proved it on the spot, and personally verified it. I didn't find any logical errors or loopholes in the proof!"
Hearing this, Zhou Wenping couldn't help but become cautious. Li Yishen was not the kind of person who would joke around, and his math skills were very impressive. He couldn't find any errors in the paper, so he had no choice but to pay attention.
Zhou Wenping suppressed his negative attitude and reviewed it carefully.
After seeing this, Zhou Wenping did not raise his hand for a long time. Soon after the start, he even spontaneously pulled over the draft paper and pen to verify the calculations, without even having the time to greet Li Yishen.
Li Yishen calmed down at this moment. He found a place to sit down and carefully read the English version of the paper in his hand, feeling the wonderful reasoning process and the mathematical beauty between the lines. Even though he had verified it once, he couldn't help but want to read it again. Such proof is a mathematician's enjoyment.
After a long while, Zhou Wenping finally breathed a sigh of relief. His spirits soared as he clapped his hands in amazement, "Wonderful! Perfect and rigorous! Such a wonderful proof method! This kid's math skills are so solid, and his logical thinking is so powerful."
A difficult problem that has been hanging in the air for nearly twenty years has been solved by our students from Peking University. We are so proud!
The future of Peking University really depends on these young people. Is this kid your doctoral student? This paper is enough for him to graduate early! Has the manuscript been submitted? It must be published in one of the four major journals. Please let me know when the defense will be scheduled!
Yisheng, you've trained a top talent for our Peking University. The university should thank you! Is this child interested in staying on campus after graduation? I'll recommend him to our Mathematics Research Center!
Before Li Yisheng could say anything, he listened to Professor Zhou Wenping's continuous sighs of emotion, and he couldn't interrupt. When Zhou Wenping paused, he smiled helplessly and said, "Professor Zhou, I'm afraid your recommendation won't be useful to this child yet!"
"Why, this kid wants to study abroad? No problem? Princeton, Stanford, MIT? No matter which famous school he wants to go to, I can write a letter of recommendation for him. These schools will probably raise their hands and invite our child to study there. If our kid from Peking University goes there, it will be the pride of these schools!" Zhou Wenping was very proud!
Although many of the talents sent abroad find it difficult to return to China, they shine on the international stage, and their origins are still Chinese. If they can return, they are most welcome!
Li Yisheng held his forehead with his hand. "My dear Professor Zhou, please let me finish what I am saying. Don't misunderstand me. This child has no intention of studying abroad. He will definitely study at Peking University. However, I am ashamed to say this. This child cannot be considered my official student, and I am ashamed to be his teacher.
The kid who proved Zhou's conjecture is the top scorer in this year's CMO. His name is Wu Tong. He is only sixteen years old this year and officially started studying at Peking University in September. Currently, he can only be considered a quasi-freshman.
You know, I was on the CMO exam review team this year. I met this kid when I was trying to recruit someone for Peking University. You have no idea how talented she is. Back then, she could already handle graduate school questions with ease!
