Chapter 163

Because Academician Di and Gu Lu chatted for too long, the direct result was that after Academician Di finished answering Gu Lu's question, he had no time to answer the questions raised by others.

After the three-hour academic lecture ended, everyone left the lecture hall one after another in disinterest.

"Teacher Gu, thank you~~"

After sending Gu Lu back to the school gate, Su Xi sat in the driver's seat and waved to Gu Lu.

"Well, bye."

Gu Lu also waved goodbye.

After listening to Academician Di's lecture, Gu Lu gained a lot.

Although it is a pity that there is currently no energy to study the k-value function of affine dl clusters, the gains in other aspects are already very gratifying.

Gu Lu can't wait to return to the apartment now to sort out his experiences after listening to the lecture.

…………

The next day.

Since he stayed up until past one o'clock last night, Gu Lu got up later than usual.

Fortunately, there were no classes in the first or second period in the morning. After Gu Lu had breakfast, he went directly to the office carrying his computer bag.

Making a cup of instant coffee, sitting at his desk, Gu Lu started his day's work.

Preparing lessons was very simple. Gu Lu read the textbook once and almost had the content of the lecture in his mind.

Which part is the key point needs to be emphasized repeatedly.

Wherever the content is simple, just skim over it.

Gu Lu knew very well.

As for the examples provided when elaborating the theories in the book, Gu Lu usually improvised.

At the same time, you can also practice your question-writing skills.

For some reason, Gu Lu gradually fell in love with this feeling after giving out a set of weekly test questions a year ago.

Indulge and enjoy.

But since then, except for a few sets of simulation questions, Gu Lu has never given any weighty test questions.

This has always been Gu Lu's great regret.

I wonder if I will have that opportunity if I enter college now.

After spending half an hour, Gu Lu prepared the courses to be taught on advanced mathematics and mathematical analysis in the next week, and then turned his attention to a paper displayed on the computer screen.

To be precise, it is a paper that is less than 50% complete.

This paper is naturally a draft of the second issue of the minimal model program.

After more than a month, with the full cooperation of Gu Lu and Senior Brother Gao, according to the original schedule, the research progress has almost reached about 35%.

Gu Lu took a sip of coffee while scanning the formulas on the screen line by line.

With only 35% of the research progress, the paper has ten pages.

It is estimated that when it is completely completed, the paper will be at least thirty pages long and contain nearly a thousand formulas.

Gu Lu and Senior Brother Gao divided the entire minimal model program and the study of the second problem into two parts.

The first part is to prove that the three-dimensional flip operation will terminate after a finite number of times.

The second part is to prove that for high-dimensional algebraic varieties, the flip operation will also terminate after a finite number of times.

The first part of the proof has been completed, which is the paper displayed on Gu Lu's screen.

The task that Gu Lu is responsible for at this stage is to check the first part, that is, the proof steps that the three-dimensional flip operation will terminate after a limited number of times, and to make a summary conclusion.

Senior Brother Gao, on the other hand, followed the plan proposed by Gu Lu before to prove the termination of the flip operation of high-dimensional algebraic varieties.

For two hours, Gu Lu checked the paper and found that the proof process was correct.

Then, it took another hour to summarize and conclude the proof that the three-dimensional flip operation terminates after a finite number of times.

Mission accomplished!

It's almost noon.

Gu Lugang planned to contact Senior Brother Gao after finishing lunch.

But unexpectedly, Senior Brother Gao was the first to make the video call.

Due to time constraints, it’s still past midnight over there at Princeton.

But this is the daily life of scientific research dogs.

If you don’t stay up late to cultivate yourself, how can you get ahead in the highly competitive scientific research world?

If you are bald, you will become stronger!

This sentence is not just a simple statement.

To be honest, Gu Lu has been losing hair recently and his hairline tends to recede.

Gu Lu could not imagine that ten or twenty years later, he would be giving lectures on the podium with a Mediterranean hairstyle.

The picture was so beautiful that Gu Lu couldn't bear to look directly at it.

After Gu Lu was stunned for a moment, he quickly pressed the answer button.

Senior Brother Gao had a pained expression on his tired face.

"Junior Brother Gu, I have good news and bad news here. Which one do you want to hear?"

"Good news." Gu Lu pondered for a few seconds before replying.

If you hear the good news first, you will feel a little happier.

If you hear bad news first, you won’t be happy when you hear good news later.

As a man of science and engineering, Gu Lu calculated this account clearly.

"Just now, Mathematics Monthly sent an email. Our paper that solved the first problem of the minimal model program has been successfully included!" Senior Brother Gao said to Gu Lu excitedly.

"Mathematical Monthly" is a regional scientific journal in Sweden.

The impact factor is 8.25, which is slightly lower than the four major journals in mathematics among all journals in the first region.

Initially, after discussions between Gu Lu and Senior Brother Gao, they submitted the paper on the first issue of the minimal model program to this journal.

Now, more than a month has passed, and counting the time, I should have almost received a reply from the contributor.

"What did the reviewers say?" Gu Lu asked with a smile.

Gu Lu was also excited that the paper could be included.

After all, this is the sci-fi journal with the highest impact factor among the journals in which Gu Lu’s papers have been included so far.

"The opinions of the three reviewers are all unanimous. They affirmed our research results and included the paper directly without our need to modify it!" Senior Brother Gao said cheerfully, "I estimate that next month, we will

The paper will appear in Mathematics Monthly."

Gu Lu smiled, "Senior brother, it seems that our three months were not in vain!"

"That's right! I have to thank you even more, Junior Brother Gu!" Senior Brother Gao sighed with a smile.

This paper may be just a paper to Gu Lu.

But it's different for Senior Brother Gao.

He is now at the critical stage of competing for research assistantships, and this paper is undoubtedly a timely help for him.

A paper with an impact factor of more than eight points is more than enough to recruit a research assistant.

"It's just a win-win situation." Gu Luxiao waved his hands and said, "Brother Gao, in this case, we must pay close attention to the research on the second issue of the minimal model program!"

The two of them have already tasted the sweetness.

The second question of the minimal model program is even higher than the first question in terms of the importance of the results.

Once successfully solved, the harvest will definitely be far more than what you are now.

When the second question of the Minimal Model Program was mentioned, Senior Brother Gao's face suddenly darkened.
Chapter completed!
