From all-round academic master to chief scientist

Hearing Pompieri's words, Lin Xiao couldn't help but feel surprised. There was such a good thing?

If you can see this kind of master's manuscript, I believe it will be of great help to his research.

However, he quickly thought that there was only one week left before his deadline. Can Pompieri send the things in time?

He had no hope for this, but he still said truthfully: "Thank you for your kindness. However, since the problem I am studying now is to be used as a report at the International Congress of Mathematicians next month, and the International Congress of Mathematicians The deadline given to me by Bian is July 15th, which means that I have to submit the paper before Sunday next week, so if I can't finish it before July 15th, I can only skip this part. The content will be reported directly.”

Hearing Lin Xiao's words, Pompieri was surprised: "You said you also received an invitation to give a report at the International Congress of Mathematicians?"

"Yes." Lin Xiao nodded, "Because during the 45-minute report, a speaker who was also in the field of number theory could not be present. Then the International Mathematical Union contacted me and hoped that I could make up for it. Since time was tight, they allowed it. I will submit the report before July 15th."

"So this is ah."

Professor Pompieri couldn't help but give Lin Xiao a thumbs up.

For being able to give a report at the International Congress of Mathematicians at such a young age, even he, a Fields Medal winner, has to be called a "genius."

Then he said: "Let's do this, you give me your email address, and then I will ask my colleagues at the institute to help me, and then I will send you a picture of Professor Selberg's manuscript."

Lin Xiao was overjoyed: "Thank you so much!"

"Haha, being able to help a young mathematician solve problems is also a little bit of residual energy that an old guy like me can exert." Professor Pompieri waved his hand and said with emotion: "Messenne prime numbers, the time I spent studying them, It is longer than the prime numbers in the Fibonacci sequence, but unfortunately there is still no achievement, and in the end it can only play a role in the Bernstein problem."

"Bernstein problem?" Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment, "Are you the Professor Enrique who solved this problem?"

Enrique Pompieri looked at Lin Xiao's appearance and couldn't help but smile and said: "Didn't you recognize me before?"

Lin Xiao touched his nose in embarrassment. When he first learned differential geometry, he saw the Bernstein problem and learned that the person who finally solved it was named Enrique Pompieri, but he only remembered After remembering the first three words "Enrique", I didn't remember the rest.

Only then did he finally think about it when he heard Pompieri mention it.

"Uh...Sorry, I really didn't recognize it before."

"Haha, it's nothing. I don't think that just because I won a Fields Medal, it is necessary for everyone to know me. In fact, when I found out that you were in the Chinese national team in IMO, I took a special look at you. As for the photo, I didn’t recognize you just now when I was standing in front of you, so even if you have seen my photo before, it is probably difficult to recognize me." Pompieri waved his hand and said with a smile, not paying attention. This little thing.

When people of different races look at each other, they will basically be face-blind.

"That's true." Lin Xiao also laughed.

"Okay, I won't say much else. The opening ceremony will start soon. Please leave your email address with me." Pompieri said.

"OK."

Then Lin Xiao told Pompieri his email address. Pompieri wrote it down on his phone and said, "Well, I'm glad to chat with you. I seem to see the personality of a young mathematics master in you." Shadow, I hope you can always maintain this interest in mathematics in the future, and if possible, I also hope to see you at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton."

"That's where I work. Although I have retired for ten years, I have always been there. It is also a good place to retire. I was traveling in Europe recently and happened to receive an invitation from IMO, so I came over. "

"Princeton?" After hearing this, Lin Xiao realized that it was a world-famous research destination for mathematics and theoretical physics.

The Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, where Einstein worked after he immigrated to the United States, and died in Princeton.

Another example is the three great figures who were born in China, Yang Chenning, Chen Shengshen, and Lee Tsung-dao, who are also professors at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.

Even now, the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton is one of the institutions with the largest number of Fields Medalists.

As for Princeton University next door, although it is not the same institution as the Institute for Advanced Study, they are too close to each other after all. It is obviously nonsense to say that they have no relationship. The relationship between the two is quite close, and Princeton University is also the most populous university in the world. One of the famous universities.

Lin Xiao then said: "If I have a chance, I will definitely go there and have a look."

"Are you just going to take a look?" Professor Pompieri smiled, then said no more and turned to leave.

Lin Xiao was baffled by Pompieri's last words.

Why don't you go take a look?

Is it possible that you still let me stay there?

Lin Xiao shook his head. He had not yet decided whether to study abroad in the future.

Looking at Professor Pompieri walking away, he stopped thinking about it and turned around to return to his seat.

But at this time, he suddenly felt that something was wrong with the surrounding eyes.

He turned around and saw a group of people around him looking at him, whether it was a few people from the Chinese national team or people from other national teams.

The look in their eyes reminded Lin Xiao of the way the intern researchers he met on the road looked at him when he was at the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Probably...looking at the gods?

"Um, could it be that the voice you spoke to Professor Pompieri just now was a little louder?"

He couldn't help but think so.

In fact, although the sound of their conversation was not particularly loud, people around them could certainly hear it. The most important thing was that a Fields Medal winner was standing in front of them, and they couldn't help but notice it.

In particular, this Fields Medalist actually took the initiative to talk to a young player from the Chinese team. Among the surrounding national teams, there were inevitably some from English-speaking areas, including the American team.

So they naturally heard what Pompieri and Lin Xiao said.

And they all knew that the Chinese player who came to participate in the IMO competition with them, who was about eighteen years old, had actually published a paper in the "Annals of Mathematics".

This had to shock the members of these other national teams.

Such a mathematical genius actually appeared in China?

They couldn't believe it.

Let’s not talk about those students, not even the team leaders, none of them has published in the "Annals of Mathematics". Otherwise, if they could publish in the "Annals of Mathematics" or any of the four top journals, they would come over to be the team leaders. ?

I have long gone to work as a professor and conduct research in the field of mathematics with peace of mind.
