Chapter 1096 The Sun Came Out From the West

As soon as the weekend passed, Lu Zhou's office became lively again.

As Assistant Zhao said, Professor Lu had something important to announce, so the students in the research group got up early, finished their breakfast early, and rushed to the office.

"Let me introduce our new member," Lu Zhou patted the shoulder of the odd-looking man next to him, and looked around at the surprised students in the office. He cleared his throat and said, "This It's Professor Perelman, a mathematician from St. Petersburg, who will probably stay until the end of the year... I should be able to finish the grand unified theory of mathematics before the end of the year without accident."

There was an eerie silence in the office for many seconds.

Then, a pen fell to the ground with a soft slap.

As if throwing a piece of sodium into the water, the originally quiet office instantly exploded.

"Fuck! Perelman? That...that big cow who solved the Poincaré conjecture?"

"No way... I heard that he has quit the field of mathematics, hasn't he?"

Perelman!

That Perelman who is said to never go out, whether it is a rich man in Russia or the secretary-general of the International Union of Mathematicians, has been shut at his door!

If it weren't for Lu Zhou's positive expression, almost everyone, including Han Mengqi, would have thought it was a joke made by the professor.

Because he could not understand Chinese, facing the lively atmosphere in the office, Perelman didn't know what they were talking about. He thought they were welcoming him, so he nodded and said "thank you" in broken Chinese.

Chen Yang, who had recovered from the shock, looked at Perelman in surprise. His face, which usually had no expression changes, gradually became agitated, and he stepped forward and said excitedly.

"...I read your paper!"

Not knowing how to answer this kind of question, Perelman hesitated for a while, and finally just nodded bluntly.

"Um."

...

I have heard about Perelman's withdrawn character for a long time. At first, Lu Zhou was worried that he would not be able to integrate into his research group, or that he would be unhappy because of communication barriers. What he didn't expect was that his worries were purely unnecessary. The guy got into shape surprisingly quickly.

What surprised Lu Zhou especially was that Chen Yang had the best relationship with this guy.

Both of them happen to be the type who don't talk much, the kind who basically talk about mathematics and work. But it seems that it is this straightforward way of communication that accidentally avoids communication obstacles.

In the next stage of research, Lu Zhou asked Perelman to participate in the topic that Chen Yang is currently studying, that is, to study the direct sum decomposition in the theory of motives, so that H(v) can be related to irreducible motives.

This project was only half completed, and for some reasons, the progress was relatively slow.

But according to Chen Yang, with the addition of Professor Perelman, the speed of progress of the whole project can be described as having wings.

In less than a week, the two came up with a pioneering method in the discussion, completed the last step of the whole problem, and established a close enough relationship between H(v) and irreducible motive.

The paper was finally co-signed by the two, and at the request of Perelman, a preprint was posted on Arxiv at the same time as the submission of "Future Mathematics", a sub-journal of "Future".

And almost on the second day after the preprint of this paper was posted on Arxiv, the entire mathematics community was surprised by this unprecedented event.

That Perelman, who publicly announced his withdrawal from the field of mathematics many years ago, actually remembered his Arxiv account? !

Moreover, the research institution that signed the paper is Jinling University, where Professor Lu works...

The sun literally came out from the west!

...

Germany, University of Bonn.

In an elegant coffee shop.

Looking at the paper that had just been printed out in his hand, Faltins shook his head dumbfounded.

Unexpectedly, this was the answer Perelman gave after reading the paper.

At this moment, his heart was both gratified and helpless, and at the same time mixed with some complicated emotions that he couldn't even tell what it was.

Noticing the expression on the old man's face, Schultz, who was sitting opposite him, took a sip of coffee, the expression on his face was also quite emotional, and said with a soft sigh.

"I didn't expect him to go to Jinling University."

He and Professor Faltings visited that person in St. Petersburg successively, and tried to invite him to the University of Bonn to complete the grand unified theory of algebra and geometry with them, opening up a new era for the Bourbaki School and the world mathematics community .

Unexpectedly, their efforts were useless, and Perelman finally chose Lu Zhou according to his own ideas.

Looking out the window for a long time, Faltings suddenly said, "What do you think of this paper?"

After thinking about it for a while, Schultz said: "Excellent...even amazingly good. I can't use a precise word to describe the importance of their work to the field of motivation theory and standard conjecture, but I I think anyone who has worked in this field can say with certainty that they have made another big step toward a grand unified theory."

After listening to Schultz, Professor Faltings nodded.

What Schultz said was exactly how he felt.

Especially in the motivation theory and the Langlands Program, their research group has been far ahead of the world in terms of studying the abstract meaning of numbers and shapes and establishing connections between them.

This inappropriate example, it seems that the vast majority of scholars engaged in this field are still drilling wood to make fire, but they have mastered the skills of making flint and steel.

This gap, which has risen to the level of thinking mode, can be intuitively felt from the papers for scholars engaged in algebraic geometry.

Looking at Professor Faltings who did not speak, Schultz sighed softly and continued.

"For a long time, I have studied the seemingly complete space, and I have been searching for such a theory, and the P-adic number and Diamond theory I created are all for this purpose."

The seemingly complete space provides a new way to look at a class of geometric objects that are deeply rooted in the Langlands program such as the "Shimura cluster". Won the Fields Medal for 18 years.

And until now, this mathematical method has even evolved into a whole new branch of mathematics—that is, seemingly complete geometry. At the same time, this subject has been widely regarded as the most promising research direction for the unification of algebra and geometry.

"You can say that," Faltings nodded, but at this moment, noticing the expression on Schultz's face, he suddenly frowned again, "...I always feel that you have something to say , you should just say it directly."

Hearing this sentence, Schultz smiled embarrassedly.

"You know, the grand unified theory of algebra and geometry is exactly what I have been doing and my lifelong pursuit. Now I feel that my theory seems to have found a place to realize its value."

Having said that, he coughed dryly.

"...All in all, I would like to visit and exchange for a year."

Faltings: "..."

Looking at Professor Faltings who hadn't spoken for a long time, Schultz scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.

"Uh, if you don't speak, I'll take it as your agreement."

Faltings: "..."
