From university academician to chief academician

In the next half month, in addition to attending classes, reading literature recommended by the instructor, and browsing Arxiv and Stack Exchange, I spent the rest of my time supervising the papers of my three roommates.

The three roommates wondered whether Ye Fei was cheating and why his abilities had improved so much during this period.

If they were at level one half a month ago, Ye Fei would be at level two at most, but now Ye Fei is at level ten.

Soon, half a month passed, and all three roommates had finished writing their papers.

Ye Fei's paper also passed the review. As soon as he received the review email, Ye Fei sent a screenshot of the email to his tutor, who reimbursed him the money.

There's only one more week until vacation.

This week is exam week, but for students at Zhonghu University, as long as they are not gangsters, they can usually pass the exam.

As a 985 university, there are very few bastards.

After all, there are only 39 985 universities in the country, and those who can get into them are all top academics.

Soon, the semester ends and the summer vacation begins.

The other three roommates all went home. Ye Fei's family is in Suzhou, Zhuang Nan and Zhou Lin are both locals, and Xu Tian is from the next city.

My home is far away and there is nothing to do when I go back, so Ye Fei will not go home and prepares to study at school.

Moreover, there are many students who do not go home during the winter and summer vacations, especially graduate students and doctoral students.

Some of them don’t want to go home, and more often they are too busy with scientific research and don’t have time to go home.

The Department of Mathematics is okay, but if it's a major like physics, chemistry, and biomaterials, which has a lot of experiments, you would want to sleep in the laboratory when you're busy.

Sometimes during critical moments of the experiment, when the entire experimental data needs to be recorded, graduate students have to work in three shifts, watching the ongoing experiments and notifying their instructors of any emergencies.

If it were the Spring Festival, there would be no way to go home in this situation.

Many people say that it becomes easier after going to college. No, it becomes even more difficult after going to college.

Many people think that everything will be fine after taking the postgraduate entrance examination. No, after taking the postgraduate entrance examination, you will be faced with various scientific research projects and you will be very busy.

Due to severe lack of sleep, my body feels weak and a lot of hair is falling out.

Of course, unless you meet that kind of Buddhist teacher.

But meeting such a mentor is like hanging around for two or three years. You won’t learn anything, you won’t be able to produce good scientific research results. After graduation, you won’t be able to produce good works, and it’s hard to find a job.

Of course, you can’t meet any tutors in the Buddhist Department of Zhonghu University.

985 universities have many talents and big bosses. If you want to study Buddhism, you will have been eliminated long ago.

Ye Fei was the only one in the dormitory at this time, and he was exchanging strange cardinal numbers with Gao Fei.

Ye Feidao: "I think if we study singular cardinal numbers, we should start from the source."

"The source?" Gao Fei said, "Tell me about it."

"Cardinal numbers are also called potentials and are one of the basic concepts of set theory. There are four kinds of cardinal numbers: regular cardinal numbers, non-regular cardinal numbers, strong unreachable cardinal numbers and weak unreachable cardinal numbers."

"These four cardinals, regular cardinals, strongly unreachable cardinals and weakly unreachable cardinals, have been proven by others in the past, and only singular cardinals remain."

"And we only need to follow the footsteps of our predecessors and explore their proof methods to prove the singular cardinal numbers."

"Of course, I think my method must have been tried by others, but we can find new ways out of it. Maybe there are methods that no one has discovered before."

"No, no, no!" Gao Fei objected: "You have said that many predecessors have thought of your method. Hundreds of years have passed, so many people have studied it, and all the methods that can be discovered must have been discovered. I don't believe it. There is still a method that has not been discovered in a hundred years, so I want to go beyond these three bases to find a method."

Ye Fei curled his lips and felt a little dissatisfied. He felt that his method was very good. The probability of finding a method from the three cardinal numbers was much higher than that of looking for a method outside the cardinal numbers.

And this method is a conventional method. If you jump out of the three cardinal numbers, you still don’t know whether you can find it in the Year of the Monkey, the Horse and the Moon.

Ye Feidao: "The scope of mathematics is too broad. Even if you just look for it from set theory, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack."

Gao Fei said: "So I drew a circle and started from the linear subspace."

Ye Fei sneered. Of course, Gao Fei couldn't see or hear this sound through the screen.

Ye Feidao: "The range of linear subspace is very large. If you look for it, when will you find it?"

The reason why the linear subspace has a large range is not because of how many seed spaces there are, but because its application range is very wide.

Linear subspaces can be used in many fields of mathematics.

If you want to find proof methods for singular cardinal numbers from here, although it is much less than from set theory, the scope is still very wide.

Gao Fei said: "We are not looking for all subspaces. We can choose spaces related to singular cardinal numbers, such as Banach space and topological space. This greatly reduces the scope."

"Okay, even if the scope is greatly reduced, I still feel that the workload is very large, and I don't think this method is such a clever method."

Gao Fei looked at Ye Fei's words with his eyebrows furrowed. His method was based on multiple inquiries and summed up.

And he also asked his mentor and felt that this method was very feasible.

The two argued again, but neither could convince the other, and both felt that their own way was the best way.

Gao Fei took a deep breath and said, "Stop, let's all calm down."

"You will use your method to study for a period of time, and I will use mine to study for a period of time. The time will be two months. After two months, we will each come up with the results."

If we continue to argue, there will be no result, so we might as well gamble in our own ways.

"If my results are faster than yours, then use my method, otherwise, use your method."

"Do you think it's feasible?"

"Okay!" Ye Feidao.

At this time, both of them were holding a breath in their hearts, and they were sure that they would be able to defeat each other.

In the next period of time, Ye Fei began to study behind closed doors.

But at the same time, he also absorbs knowledge from the outside world.

Find information from the library, read papers from Arxiv, and answer questions from Stack Exchange.

He crazily absorbs knowledge from the outside world and integrates it into his own.

But during this time, many people around the world have discovered a strange phenomenon. A question-brushing maniac has appeared on Stack Exchange.

Many questions about set theory on Stack Exchange just appeared, and someone solved the correct answer in a short time.

Originally, one of the great pleasures of Stack Exchange was to discuss with others how to solve problems.

But in the area of ​​set theory, the fun is gone.

Because most of the questions were solved by one person.

There are also some people who especially enjoy the feeling of being in the spotlight.

For example, if you solve a certain problem, there will be many compliments below, saying, "It's great, it's a great person, please show me how to be a great person."

If you have money, you will be admired by everyone, but you will never be admired too much.

However, academic masters are sought after, admired, and even worshiped by everyone.

People often worship the statue of a certain scholar before taking an exam, wishing that they will pass the exam.

And if a person goes to negotiate a business, he will never worship the statue of the richest man and wish him smooth business.

Therefore, the joy of being a top student is far greater than being rich.

Dongyinguo, Kyoto University, Doctoral Dormitory.

Ryota Yamamoto looked at the solved set theory problem with anger on his face.

He saw this question as soon as it came out. He thought that the difficulty of the question was not very high. He wanted to solve it, but he didn't expect that it had been solved in less than ten minutes.

And his calculations were not even half complete.

Ryota Yamamoto is a doctoral student at Kyoto University. He has published five papers that have entered SCI, three of them have entered the fourth area, and two have entered the third area.

He mainly studies set theory, and his greatest pleasure is to go to Stack Exchange to solve set theory and enjoy the popularity of everyone.

"Baga..." Ryota Yamamoto glared at the ID angrily.

"It's this guy named Ye Ye Feifei again. He must be a devil. He has failed most of the questions in set theory recently."

In the blink of an eye, I saw that there were already many people leaving messages below.

"Master Feifei is here again. He can solve this problem in less than ten minutes. It's so awesome."

"Which school did the master graduate from? MIT, Princeton, Stanford? Harvard? Cambridge?"

"I really want to know who this great master is? I can join him and study for graduate school or Ph.D."

"Master, please tell me your family name."

"..."

The more Ryota Yamamoto watched, the angrier he became, and he almost dropped the computer in front of him.

"Hmph..." He snorted coldly: "I'll wait until midnight to come back. I don't believe you're still there in the middle of the night."
