Volume 1: Student Life Chapter 212 What? Is it such a coincidence?
The next day, Chen Zhou followed the habit-forming plan and went for a morning run with Yang Yiyi, and then had breakfast together.
By the way, Chen Zhou also packed up the breakfast for the three brothers in the dormitory and took it back.
Chen Zhou also agreed with Yang Yiyi on the plan for a meal in the evening.
When he came out of the dormitory again, Chen Zhou went straight to the office of Dean Yang of the School of Physics.
Many students gathered in front of the administrative building of the School of Physics.
Although Chen Zhou was curious, after taking a quick look and failing to figure out what was going on, he walked through the crowd and entered the administrative building of the School of Physics.
Dean Yang's office.
Chen Zhou knocked on the door politely and pushed it open after getting permission.
Because Dean Yang was not called in advance, he was slightly surprised when he saw that the person coming was Chen Zhou.
"Chen Zhou, why are you here?"
Chen Zhou took out a leave application from his backpack and handed it to Dean Yang: "I'm here to hand in my leave application."
Dean Yang immediately said, "I haven't received your last leave application yet, why are you here to get one again? And you didn't fill in the time on your last leave application. If you want to ask for advice, why don't you fill in a longer time? Besides..."
Dean Yang didn't say the rest of the words. He had already seen clearly the leave application note that Chen Zhou handed over. It was the same one he had given him last time.
The time has been filled in, so I took leave until yesterday.
"Are you planning to study it slowly?" Dean Yang put the leave application on the table and picked up the teacup to take a sip of tea. "That's right. We can't rush into a topic like the hail conjecture. Come to the Physics Department and work on the topic with me first. Maybe you'll get some inspiration."
Hearing this, Chen Zhou shook his head slightly, looked at Dean Yang strangely, and said slowly: "That's not the case, it's just that I have solved the problem of the hail conjecture."
Dean Yang's hand holding the teacup froze in mid-air, and he looked up at Chen Zhou in disbelief.
What did this kid just say?
Got it...done?
Did he solve the hail conjecture?
Oh my god, is he trying to scare me?
Seeing that Dean Yang didn't say anything, Chen Zhou said, "Dean Yang, I should be officially reporting to the Department of Physics today, right?"
"Ah? Yes, I'm here to report."
Chen Zhou nodded: "Okay."
Dean Yang stopped drinking tea and put the cup back on the table. He stared at Chen Zhou and asked with difficulty, "You, you really solved the hail hypothesis?"
Chen Zhou smiled and answered affirmatively: "Yes, it has been solved. I have submitted the paper to the Journal of Mathematics. This morning I checked the submission status and it has entered the peer review stage."
Dean Yang couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He found it hard to believe that the hail conjecture that had stumped countless mathematicians in the world was solved by Chen Zhou just like that?
This is no ordinary research topic!
But entering peer review means that this paper, at least the technical editors cannot find any fault with it.
However, he still has more confidence in the technical editor's academic level in mathematics.
After a pause, Dean Yang asked, "Which Acta Mathematica Sinica? The one from Sweden, or the one under the Chinese Academy of Sciences?"
"Uh..." Chen Zhou didn't expect Dean Yang to ask such a question.
China does have a journal called "Acta Mathematica Sinica", formerly known as "Journal of Mathematics in China", which is sponsored by the Institute of Mathematics and Systems Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and supervised by the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
However, in terms of international influence, the two cannot be compared.
Chen Zhou replied: "The one from Sweden."
"Good boy! You can do it! You are going to break the record again!" Dean Yang said excitedly.
He knew how difficult it was to publish a paper in Acta Mathematica Sinica, one of the four great mathematical journals.
If Chen Zhou really succeeded in publishing it, it would indeed be a record-breaking achievement as he said .
Chen Zhou was quite speechless when he saw Dean Yang's expression. Wasn't he suspicious of me the previous second? And the next second, he was so excited?
Just then, the door of Dean Yang's office was knocked again.
Dean Yang calmed down and said, "Please come in!"
"Hello, Dean Yang!"
The person who came in first greeted Dean Yang, and then winked at Chen Zhou playfully.
Chen Zhou was slightly stunned, then asked with a smile: "Why are you here?"
The person who came was Yang Yiyi.
"I'm here to see Dean Yang." Yang Yiyi said.
Chen Zhou was still a little confused.
Dean Yang explained , "You and Yang Yiyi are both members of our research group."
Hearing this, Chen Zhou looked at Yang Yiyi again, and Yang Yiyi playfully stuck out her tongue at him.
The look seemed to be saying, Surprise? Unexpected?
Originally, Yang Yiyi planned to tell Chen Zhou about it after the military training, but Chen Zhou was always immersed in his research on the hail hypothesis, so she didn't tell him.
"Now that you two are here, it's just right. Let's go to the laboratory together. We will start the second accelerator experiment today."
Dean Yang stood up, screwed on the teacup, packed up the relevant research materials, and took Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi out of the office.
Just as Chen Zhou and his colleagues went to the laboratory, the editor-in-chief of the Journal of Mathematics, Leffler, found a suitable reviewer for Chen Zhou's paper on the proof of the hail conjecture.
Levler was fine, but Hafid didn't sleep all night.
He stayed up all night in the editorial office, waiting for the invitation to review the manuscript to be confirmed.
If everything goes well, this paper will be a very glorious addition to his resume.
However, he probably had forgotten that a few hours ago, he had scoffed at the paper.
The first response Hafid received was an email from the University of Oxford in the UK.
The respondent was Professor Wiles of Merton College, Oxford University.
He accepted the invitation to review the paper.
The reply was: "This is an interesting proof, but I will not be able to give you specific review comments until I have finished reading it."
The moment Hafid received the email, he responded.
He explained the problems with the paper and expressed his respect for the reviewers in sincere words.
Hafid was relieved that the big boss accepted the invitation to review the paper.
This is the great man who proved Fermat's Last Theorem!
Wiles won many mathematics awards including the Wolf Prize.
In fact, because he was over 40 years old, the International Mathematical Union awarded him the Fields Medal Silver Medal, also known as the International Mathematical Union Special Award, at the 23rd International Congress of Mathematicians.
Wiles just smiled in response to Hafid's reply. The reason he accepted the invitation was that he was attracted by the paper itself.
I have to say that mathematics is mysterious and beautiful.
The proof method, calculation formula, and mathematical theory of this paper all attracted him.
After printing out the paper, Wiles turned off his computer.
He still prefers to print out papers rather than look them up on the computer.
Now, he has to review the paper carefully.
Following Wiles, Hafid received responses from several other reviewers.
Without exception, all agreed to the invitation to review the manuscript.
Seeing this, Hafid relaxed completely.
Next, he just needs to wait quietly for news.
