Chapter 265

In recent years, on the international stage of mathematics, apart from those math giants who have won the Fields Medal, this Swiss mathematician is the most eye-catching.

Originally, four years ago, at the 27th World Congress of Mathematicians, Constantine had the ability to win the Fields Medal. However, Constantine was only thirty-two years old at that time, which was too young.

, and there are still two opportunities for the Philippine Prize in the future, so there is no need to worry, so the spot that originally belonged to him was given to a veteran mathematician who was less than forty years old in half a month.

It was also from then on that the relationship between Constantine and the International Mathematical Union began to deteriorate, and he implicitly stated that he would no longer participate in the competition for the Fields Medal.

But now, Constantine's appearance here shows that his relationship with the International Mathematical Union has eased, and he will not be absent from this year's Philippine Prize.

Constantine also dabbled in algebraic geometry.

However, Constantine's name was not on the list of geniuses in the field of algebraic geometry.

That list includes only a few people, including Gu Lu and Simon.

As for the reason...it's very simple!

It is well known that Constantine was a versatile mathematician.

Not only in the field of algebraic geometry, but also in other fields, Constantine can still bear the word "genius".

To put it simply, there is no name of Constantine in the list of geniuses in the field of algebraic geometry.

But among the world's geniuses in mathematics, Constantine is clearly on the list.

Moreover, it must be among the top few!

The thirty-six-year-old Constantine is a being who can be called a great devil.

Likewise, it is also the goal pursued by many talented mathematicians.

Among them, Simon is included.

Simon and Constantine are only two years apart.

But there are still some differences between the two.

Simon is only famous in the geometry community, but looking at the entire mathematics community, among the younger generation, he can barely squeeze into the top ten.

And what about Constantine, who is known as the "reincarnation of Euler"?

An all-around mathematician, the leader of the mathematical world ten years from now, and the most evil mathematical genius in the past century.

One title after another fell on Constantine's head.

Let this mathematician, who is only thirty-six years old, already stand at the top of the mathematical pyramid at such a young age, on an equal footing with those veteran mathematicians in the mathematics world.

Throughout the ages, few have been able to accomplish this.

As if aware that he was being watched, Constantine searched around with suspicious eyes.

Gu Lu and Simon shrank their heads guiltily and entered Constantine's blind spot.

After Constantine searched around, he found nothing. After shaking his head and muttering something, he carried his bag and walked to the hotel not far away.

Seeing Constantine walking away, Gu Lu and Simon breathed softly and raised their heads.

"How strong is he?" Gu Lu glanced at Simon, pondered for a few seconds, and asked.

There was still a hint of fear in Simon's eyes.

"Better than me!"

"What I mean is that Constantine is even stronger than me when I exert my full strength! So, don't try to challenge him for the time being." Simon quickly added.

Hearing this, Gu Lu shrugged helplessly.

Gu Lu understood the deeper meaning of Simon's words.

To put it simply, don't let Gu Lu become arrogant and arrogant just because he has defeated him.

The reason why I lost to you before was entirely because I underestimated the enemy and failed to exert my full strength.

And Constantine is an opponent that I cannot defeat even if I try my best.

Not to mention you now.

Gu Lu shook his head and smiled helplessly, "If Constantine and I have any direct conflict of interest, I will not take the initiative to challenge him even if I have nothing to do."

"Then you..." Simon looked at Gu Lu with an angry look.

That means, why did you oppose me before? I studied the Bab conjecture, and you also studied the Bab conjecture, and you really succeeded in intercepting it, which caused my dream of winning the Philippine Prize to be ruined.

"I am also forced to have no choice!" Gu Lu explained with a smile.

"The situation at that time was that I learned that you were also studying the bab conjecture after I had started the topic. If I had known about it before starting the topic, I probably would not have chosen this topic."

"Oh, if you had told me before starting the topic, I would definitely give way to you. Unfortunately, there is no what if..." Gu Lu sighed.

Simon, who heard Gu Lu's words from the side, almost cursed.

Should I remind you before starting the question?

I didn’t know you at all before asking this question!

But one thing I have to admit is that at that time, Simon really didn't take the small role of Gu Lu seriously.

One misstep leads to eternal hatred.

Therefore, the current result was brewed.

As the saying goes, enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.

But at the International Congress of Mathematicians, Simon also had to maintain his image.

Therefore, Gu Lu was inexplicable when he saw that after he finished saying those words, Simon forced out a smile that was uglier than crying.

The car was parked steadily in the parking lot.

"Would you like to have a meal together tonight and take you to try our Chinese specialties?" Gu Lu suggested.

Simon felt a little moved.

This is Simon's first visit to China.

Simon has long been coveting the internationally renowned Chinese cuisine.

But when he thought of Gu Lu accompanying him...

Simon has not let go of his grudge.

Simon shook his head, picked up his briefcase and opened the car door, "No, I can just eat in the hotel."

Gu Lu didn't force it, since there was a long time to come anyway, "Okay, then we'll see you tomorrow."

…………

The next day, early morning.

September 8th may be just an ordinary day for many people. But for a certain group, it is an extraordinary day.

Before six o'clock, Gu Lu woke up early.

After breakfast, we took a taxi to Yanjing International Conference Center.

The opening ceremony of the International Congress of Mathematicians begins at eight o'clock.

However, from about seven o'clock, mathematicians began to enter the venue one after another.

The opening ceremony will be held in the first conference room of Yanjing International Conference Center.

The total area is 2,500 square meters and can accommodate meetings of up to 5,400 people.

For this International Congress of Mathematicians, this conference room is completely sufficient.

Gu Lu came relatively early.

When we arrived at the first conference room, there were only a few hundred people sitting in the more than 5,000 seats, talking quietly in twos and threes.

Gu Lu found his place among the rows of seats.

Gu Lu sat in the fifth row, a relatively forward position.

Generally, the first row at the International Congress of Mathematicians is reserved for Philippine Prize winners and leaders of the conference.

The second and third rows are reserved for the older generation of mathematicians with extremely high qualifications.

The fourth and fifth rows are reserved for outstanding young mathematicians.
