Chapter 452

Gu Lu and Simon successfully proved the narrow Hodge conjecture, and Bao Songquan was undoubtedly one of the happiest people.

Bao Songquan was even more excited than Gu Lu, who was one of the parties involved.

The reason is simple.

Gu Lu proved the narrow Hodge conjecture.

This can be said to be the biggest breakthrough in the field of algebraic geometry in the field of mathematics in the past five years.

And let everyone see the dawn of a complete proof of Hodge's conjecture.

The status of the narrow Hodge conjecture in the mathematical world is much higher than the Bab conjecture and the arithmetic prime conjecture proved by Gu Lu last year.

Now, Gu Lu has completely conquered the peak of Hodge conjecture in the narrow sense.

Next, it’s time to reap the fruits of victory.

First of all, in the battle with Constantine, Gu Lu became the absolute winner, there is no doubt about it.

In the future, after seeing Gu Lu's miraculous speed again, Constantine will probably not have the slightest thought of challenging Gu Lu again.

Bao Songquan didn't care about this victory.

In Bao Songquan's opinion, if Gu Lu can defeat Constantine once, he can defeat Constantine a second time.

Constantine did not have the qualifications to become Gu Lu's lifelong enemy.

However, Constantine was very concerned about another thing.

That’s the Fields Medal!

After last year's International Congress of Mathematicians, Gu's firm has produced several world-class research results that are strong enough to qualify for the Fields Medal.

In the past four years, as long as Gu Lu solves a topic that is comparable to Bab's conjecture, it can be said that Gu Lu will be awarded the Fields Medal at the next International Congress of Mathematicians.

But I didn't expect that Gu Lu would be even more ruthless.

Bab guessed that a subject of that level would obviously not satisfy Gu Lu.

So Gu Lu turned his attention to the problem of the century, the narrow Hodge conjecture.

But what no one expected was.

Gu Lu succeeded!

In terms of difficulty, the Hodge conjecture in the narrow sense is more than twice as difficult as the Bab conjecture, but Gu Lu really succeeded.

At the same time, Gu Lu's success means another thing.

If the possibility of Gu Lu winning the Philippine Award was almost certain before, then this time, it can basically be said to be a certainty!

It's not just that.

Except for Gu Lu, Simon and Gu Lu's situation is similar.

With the result of proving the narrow Hodge conjecture in hand, coupled with some scattered mathematical results before, Simon can also be sure of a spot for the next Fields Medal.

so.

Two of the four Philippine Prize places have been confirmed just over three years before the next International Congress of Mathematicians.

After drawing this inference, many mathematicians don't know whether to cry or laugh.

The next Philippine Awards Ceremony should be the least suspenseful one in history!

Everyone was silent in their hearts.

Bao Songquan doesn't care whether Simon will win the next Fields Medal.

But whether Gu Lu can win the Fields Medal is something that Bao Songquan has always been concerned about.

Mentioned it before.

Since the creation of the Fields Medal, no Chinese mathematician in China has ever won this award!

This is a cruel fact.

This also means that although the international status of China's mathematics community has improved in recent years, some domestic mathematicians still cannot stand proudly when they meet mathematicians from some mathematically powerful countries.

Fields Medal, this has become a knot in the minds of many mathematicians.

After the millennium, countless Chinese mathematicians have launched an attack on the Fields Medal, but none of them have ended in failure.

Most people didn't even touch the edge of the trophy.

And now Gu Lu is undoubtedly the most promising mathematician in China to win the Fields Medal, not one of them!

In addition to the achievement of proving the narrow Hodge conjecture, Gu Lu's research results have already surpassed most of the previous Philippine Prize winners.

For example, Constantine, who won the Fields Medal last year.

All of Gu Lu's current mathematical achievements put together have slightly surpassed Constantine's.

It can be said that Gu Lu's only shortcoming now is his age.

Gu Lu is really too young.

The Chinese New Year has just ended, and Gu Lucai is only twenty-five years old this year.

Bao Songquan is worried that because Gu Lu is too young, the International Mathematical Union will postpone Gu Lu's Fields Medal award to the next session, or the next session, thereby freeing up the spot.

For mathematicians who are approaching the age required for the award.

This has not happened before in history. For example, Constantine was treated in this way.

Anyway, according to Zhao Li's age, he can still participate in the selection of three or four Fields Medals.

This is where Bao Songquan is worried.

However, overall, Bao Songquan is more happy than worried.

After all, it is a certainty that Gu Lu will win the Fields Medal.

The difference is nothing more than the time.

Anyway, the Chinese mathematics community has been waiting for such a long time, so there is no need to wait a few more years.

Gu Lu, do you have any ideas to give a special report on the Hodge conjecture in the narrow sense? Bao Songquan turned his pen in his hand and looked at Gu Lu with a smile.

Gu Lu was stunned for a moment, special report?

That's right! Bao Songquan nodded. My idea here is to let you hold a special report on the narrow Hodge conjecture in our school. At that time, we will invite mathematicians from all over the world to participate.

Preparing for such a report meeting should require a lot of manpower and material resources. Gu Lu frowned slightly.

Gu Lu has experience in participating in this type of report meeting.

It was at Princeton University in the United States. Gu Lu remembered that the person who came on stage to give a report was a Wolf Prize winner.

The old professor's glorious appearance on stage made Gu Lu envious for a long time.

Now Gu Lu also has the opportunity to hold this kind of academic seminar.

However, as far as Gu Lu knew, this kind of report would require a lot of manpower and material resources.

Because the lecturers are invited not only to well-known mathematicians in the country, but also to well-known mathematicians from all over the world.

In addition, the topic itself of the narrow Hodge conjecture is attractive.

Gu Lu estimated that there would be only a few foreign mathematicians present.

This is a big challenge for Yanda’s personnel reception work.

However, in front of Bao Songquan, these are not problems. You don't have to worry about this aspect, just leave it all to me.

What you need to be responsible for is to carefully prepare the content of the report and make those foreign mathematicians realize that our Chinese mathematics community also has no shortage of geniuses!

Gu Lu nodded and asked, Senior brother, when will the report meeting be scheduled?
Chapter completed!
