Chapter 880 Publication of a Special Issue
Throughout Christmas, nothing much to look forward to happened. If there was anything Lu Zhou could be happy about, except for his new fireplace, it would be the reply letter from "Mathematics Annals".
In the reply letter, the new editor-in-chief of the "Annual of Mathematics", Professor Sahn, expressed to him in polite terms that he had submitted two papers on the proof of the quasi-Riemann conjecture and the hyperelliptic curve analysis method to the "Annual of Mathematics" some time ago, It has been successfully published.
As previously discussed, the two papers, totaling 51 pages, were published as a special issue for the mathematical community.
As the reviewer, Professor Faltings, revised his opinion and the two papers were officially published, those preprints accumulated on Arxiv were like a flood that broke a bank, frantically flocking to those facing Journals for analytic number theory, complex analysis problems, and even general mathematics.
Everyone hopes that their journal can pass the review as soon as possible.
If it doesn't work, at least we should be ahead of those who have made further achievements.
After all, this thing is like the research on mathematical conjectures. If a stronger conclusion has been drawn, it is the first to pass peer review and be published in a journal database, then the weaker form or conclusion of this conjecture, if there is no If you make an innovation in the method, it will not have the value of publication. In the stage of peer review, it may be sent back directly with the sentence "not worthy of publication", without even a chance to revise.
Therefore, in order to be published first, many Phd graduates and some lesser-known scholars who are eager to graduate even choose those water journals that are famous for their speed of submission as the object of submission, and these water journals are also very interesting. He charged a few page fees, and even opened up a dedicated "review channel" for these papers.
Because of this incident, several journals were hung up on Mathoverflow, and there was an uproar for a while, and even a few well-known figures in the mathematics world were alarmed, and they stood up and called on major universities to boycott these Journals that do not follow the rules.
At a time when half of the journal editors in the mathematics world were busy with the flood of submissions, Jinling University, which is in a quiet corner of the mathematics world, had already put up a big red banner at the school gate to celebrate Academician Lu's The thesis was published in the special issue of "Annual Journal of Mathematics", which also celebrates this young king of mathematics, who once again solved a worldwide problem.
The quasi-Riemann conjecture has been solved, and the value of ε is advancing by leaps and bounds towards the end.
How far is the mathematics world from the Riemann conjecture, the crown that has been hanging for a century and a half?
Although I don't know how long it will take to solve this problem, everyone has no doubt that at least in their lifetime, they can look forward to it.
School of Mathematics, Jinling University.
In the office at the end of the corridor.
After knocking on the door three times, Dean Qin who opened the door and walked into the office said with a smile.
"Lu Zhou, congratulations! In my impression, there is no one who can print two special issues of "Annual of Mathematics". You are probably the first mathematics professor in history to receive this honor!"
Hearing this sentence, Lu Zhou didn't even have the desire to complain.
How many years has it been since the "Annual of Mathematics" was founded, and how many years is the history of mathematics...
What is there to be proud of.
Looking at Dean Qin who sat down in front of the coffee table, Lu Zhou who put down the ballpoint pen in his hand sighed, looked at him helplessly and said.
"Thank you...can you discuss it? I'm about to contract the gate of Jinda University. If you really don't know what to put up, why don't you rent it out as an advertising space and earn a fortune."
Hearing the second half of Lu Zhou's words, Dean Qin, who had just sipped his tea, almost spit out a mouthful of tea.
After coughing twice, he put down his teacup, wiped his chin with tea, and Dean Qin stared at Lu Zhou with a beard and staring eyes.
"It's too much! Are you still short of that little money?"
For the professors of Jin University who run businesses outside to generate income, I am afraid that the total assets of all the people are only a fraction of this guy.
Not to mention anything else, just the shares of East Asia Electric Power, even if it is calculated based on a price-earnings ratio of 20 times, now it has to be multiplied by more than ten times.
What's more, at his level, money is really just a number.
Lu Zhou made a helpless expression, and said, "I mean, let's keep a low profile next time. An "Annual Journal of Mathematics"... To be honest, there is really nothing worthy of such a big publicity."
Dean Qin shook his head: "What you said, "Annual of Mathematics" is one of the top four journals in mathematics, and the difficulty of drafting is even higher than that of comprehensive "Science" and "Nature". Less, let alone a special issue, even if our college publishes an article a year, I can go out and brag about it.”
Speaking of this, Dean Qin smiled cheerfully and continued: "No matter how you say it, you are also a role model for countless young students of Jin University, and the meaning of a role model is still very important! If you are embarrassed, you have the right to treat it as a role model." Sacrifice the small ego for the sake of the big ego, just pretend not to see it, and you won’t lose a piece of meat anyway.”
Lu Zhou shook his head dumbfounded, but didn't say anything to him.
Sorry, sure, but not enough to offend him.
It is estimated that Dean Qin is sure that he does not hate this, so he pretends to be so grandiose... Oh no, it should be said that it is for publicity.
Dean Qin: "Speaking of which, this Riemann conjecture, how far have you researched it? Ah yes, if it's not convenient to ask, just pretend I didn't ask."
"It's inconvenient to ask, but I can't give you an accurate number." Looking up and thinking for a while, Lu Zhou said in an uncertain tone, "I can only say that it will definitely be within three years. "
Three years may be a little longer.
If he feels himself, maybe a year or two is enough.
But this kind of words sounded like bragging, so he didn't say it.
It's just that what he didn't realize was that solving the Riemann Hypothesis within three years, in the eyes of ordinary people, is actually a bragging in another sense...
"Within three years, it seems that I have hope to see this day," obviously did not take this sentence seriously, Dean Qin smiled, suddenly changed the subject, and continued to ask, "Speaking of next year's IMO You should be invited to the conference, right? Are you going to go up and talk about something?"
"I haven't decided whether to go or not," Lu Zhou replied after thinking for a while, "If I go, it will probably be to report the research work of Riemann's conjecture."
The 45-minute and 60-minute reports at the IMO conference do not necessarily have to solve practical problems, or come up with an impressive paper submission, or just go on stage to report to academic colleagues about their research in the past four years.
Whether it is published or not, whether it is what you have studied or is going to do, you can talk on the stage and exchange opinions with your colleagues.
As a Fields Medal winner, he will definitely be invited, and some scholars who have made outstanding achievements in the past four years will also be invited to give reports.
In general, this can be regarded as a relatively loose communication mode.
It is more friendly to those scholars who delve into major mathematical propositions and are not easy to produce obvious results.
However, Lu Zhou has not yet decided whether to go or not.
After all, it's hard to say if things will change half a year later.
Dean Qin said with a smile.
"Speaking of which, at the IMO conference at St. Petersburg University, the venue for the next IMO conference will be voted on, right?"
Lu Zhou: "Well, yes... Is there any problem?"
"It's nothing, just asking," Dean Qin smiled, and after a while, he continued, "What do you think of the report meeting in Jinling last time? Afterwards, your friends , did you talk to you, or give some feedback or something?"
"The feedback is not bad..." He closed the note in his hand and put it on the corner of the table with the draft paper that was spread out. Lu Zhou sighed, looked at Dean Qin and asked, "What do you have to say?" Let’s just say it straight.”
"Haha, I knew I couldn't hide it from you." Touching the back of his head and laughing twice, Dean Qin cleared his throat and continued, "It's like this. The municipal party committee discussed with our school and thought that mathematics is important. It is very important in scientific research, although it is basic science, it cannot be ignored, in order to build an academic metropolis..."
Lu Zhou: "Cough!"
Hearing the cough, Dean Qin stopped the conversation immediately, and said straight to the point: "The next IMO conference, can you help me to ask, is there any hope to hold it in Jinling?"
After all, Jinling University’s mathematics department is not as good as Yanda University and Aurora University. In the past two years, with Lu Zhou’s return to China and the establishment of Jinling Institute for Advanced Study, although it has improved, it has only been raised to the same level as Kaida University.
As far as the current situation is concerned, although there are many professors who are closely related to the international mathematics community in the entire School of Mathematics of Jinling University, this great god may be the only professor who is influential enough to affect the progress of the IMO conference.
Although Lu Zhou had a premonition after the report meeting, he still didn't expect that Lao Qin really had such a plan.
"You are embarrassing me a bit, I am not a member of the IMO Council, and I am not very familiar with the Council..."
Dean Qin patted his thigh, sighed and said: "Hey, I will retire in a few years, so I want to do a job for my alma mater and the place where I have worked for decades before I retire. A little contribution. Maybe no one will remember me as an old man decades later, but I will be satisfied if I can remember that the International Conference of Mathematicians in 2026 will be organized by our Jinling University with the assistance of the International Mathematical Union. Can you help me? It doesn't matter if it can't be done, the important thing is to try..."
"You are so content..." Lu Zhou shook his head a little dumbfounded, sighed and said, "I can't guarantee it either, I can only say... help you find a way."
Dean Qin was overjoyed, stood up and smiled and cupped his hands.
"Then thank you very much!"
