Chapter 367

Five of the world's top mathematicians.

I am stuck on the same topic of Hodge conjecture in the narrow sense.

And these five people are not in a cooperative relationship.

It is a competition between two groups of people.

This waste of resources makes Chairman Goins extremely heartbroken.

Especially among these five mathematicians, three of them are still known as three of the top five geniuses in the field of algebraic geometry.

The narrow Hodge conjecture is a big project.

To be conservative, these three people will spend one to two years on this project.

In one to two years, if three of the five top combat powers are absent from the field of algebraic geometry, it will definitely cause a lot of turmoil.

It is extremely obvious that the current rapid development momentum in the field of algebraic geometry will slow down.

After all, Gu Lu, Simon, and Karl, all three of them devoted themselves to the study of the narrow Hodge conjecture.

And those younger generations of mathematicians have not yet grown to their level.

The field of algebraic geometry, led only by two other contemporary geniuses, would obviously not be as prosperous as it is today.

The direction of algebraic geometry, which is a big fire in the mathematics world, may be temporarily weakened for a while.

Therefore, Chairman Goins, who foresaw this in advance, wanted to prevent this bad situation from happening.

So Chairman Goins called Gu Lu.

"Professor Gu, what I want to ask is whether you and Simon can suspend the research on the narrow Hodge conjecture." Chairman Goins asked Gu Lu in a consultative tone.

But Gu Lu obviously couldn't agree to Chairman Goins' proposal.

Gu Lu said with a helpless smile, "Chairman, you should not come to me to discuss your proposal. Instead, you should go to Constantine."

"Simon and I started to prepare some matters for this new project after the International Mathematicians closed. Now half a month has passed, the theoretical framework of our project has been completed, and the proposal report has been submitted long ago. It is estimated that

An approval will be issued in the next few days.”

"If you ask the two of us to give up our research now, wouldn't it mean that all the hard work we have put in before has been wasted."

Gu Lu couldn't afford this price.

Moreover, the Hodge conjecture in the narrow sense is an indispensable part of Gu Lu's plan, and of course he will not give up research on it.

Chairman Goins seemed to know that this request was too restrictive, and sighed helplessly, "Since you don't agree, I won't force it. However, the field of algebraic geometry has just shown a booming trend, and we hope that this momentum can continue.

Keep it going!”

"Okay, stop complaining, I'm going to find out what Constantine has to say." Chairman Goins said in a helpless tone.

"Chairman, please don't have too much hope. With Constantine's character, he probably won't agree to your proposal." Constantine's arrogant character is well-known in the world of mathematics.

"Constantine will give me a little face as an old guy." Constantine said this with a smile and hung up the phone.

Soon, Gu Lu received news of the phone call between Constantine and Chairman Goins.

Of course, Constantine rejected Chairman Goins' proposal as expected.

But even though Constantine was arrogant, he still had to give him face as the president of the International Mathematical Union.

Constantine vowed during the phone call that he would solve the narrow Hodge conjecture as quickly as possible, defeat Gu Lu, and end the war.

Let the five of them end this internal conflict of talents in the mathematics world as soon as possible.

"Yes, this war will end very quickly, but the winner and loser may not be what you expected, Constantine!" The corners of Gu Lu's mouth rose slightly.

…………

Gu Lu came to the college's office.

As soon as I sat down, the second call came.

The caller was Director Buddy of the Clay Mathematics Institute.

Director Buddy's purpose is similar to that of Chairman Goins.

Both of them hope that Gu Lu can make a truce with Constantine.

It's just that the strategies suggested by the two are different.

Chairman Goins hopes that Gu Lu will give up research on the narrow Hodge conjecture.

Director Badi hopes that Gu Lu can cooperate with Active Constantine through friendly negotiations and unite the five people to jointly attack the narrow Hodge conjecture.

After hearing this suggestion, Gu Lu almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

I have to say that Director Buddy’s idea is a bit naive.

Letting myself cooperate with Constantine is impossible just thinking about it.

Even if he agrees.

But with Constantine’s arrogant and arrogant character, would he agree?

Cooperation, a win-win option for both parties, was actually ruled out by Gu Lu from the very beginning.

Director Buddy chatted with Gu Lu for a few words and then hung up the phone.

However, before hanging up the phone, Director Buddy still implicitly stated that he would stand by Gu Lu's side.

Gu Lu couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this.

He is not fighting for power. This kind of siding with others is completely meaningless.

Just as the phone was hung up and before Gu Lu could take a sip of water, another call came in.

Gu Lu picked up the phone and quickly answered it.

"Hello, Mr. Wu, hello."

That's right, the person who called this time was Academician Wu Wenjun, the current chairman of the Chinese Mathematical Society.

Academician Wu also called because of this incident that caused a stir in the mathematics community.

However, it was completely different from the advice given to Gu Lu by Chairman Goins and Director Buddy.

Academician Wu's conversation can be summed up simply in six words.

If you want to fight, then fight!

This view coincides with Gu Lu's.

To be honest, Gu Lu was not willing to fight this battle with Constantine.

But if Constantine insists on fighting, then Gu Lu will not have any fear either.

Since Constantine wants to fight, then fight, Gu Lu will be with him at any time.

I just hope that when the time comes, Constantine’s arrogance will not be destroyed by me!

Gu Lu thought silently in his mind.

The conversation between Gu Lu and Academician Wu continues.

Academician Wu smiled and said, "Xiao Gu, tell me the truth, how confident are you in this battle?"

"Ninety percent!" Gu Lu answered this number without thinking.

"Okay, okay, okay!" Academician Wu said three good words in a row and hung up the phone with a bright face.

Gu Lu took a breath, turned on the computer, and made a video call to Simon.

Simon had obviously known about Constantine's declaration of war on them. As soon as he saw Gu Lu, he asked, "Gu Lu, shall we fight them?"

"Fight, why not fight!" Gu Lu's brows were filled with pride, "Don't look at the three of them, just the two of us, we will be afraid of them!"

Simon gritted his teeth and said, "Gu Lu, you are right. If the two of us work together sincerely, we may not be afraid of the three of them. Also, it is time to settle some of the grievances between Constantine and me."

Simon and Constantine also had some grudges.
