On the train from Rongcheng to Qingcheng.

Liu Yichen submitted the English version of the paper "Research Results on Sitapan Conjecture" to the "Journal of Symbolic Logic".

"Journal of Symbolic Logic" is sponsored by the University of Chicago in the United States. This magazine mainly focuses on research results in mathematical logic. It is not as good as "Annals of Mathematics", "New Advances in Mathematics", "Journal of the American Mathematical Society", "Mathematics"

"Acta Sinica" are the four top mathematics journals, but they are also selected by SCI.

The impact factor of the "Journal of Symbolic Logic" is 0.2, which is not high. Therefore, it is a very suitable journal to publish the paper proving the Sitapan conjecture. If you choose the four major journals, I am afraid that it will not be accepted.

Subsequently, Liu Yichen uploaded the English and Chinese versions of the paper "Research Results on the Sitapan Conjecture" to arxiv. Posting the paper as a preprint on arxiv can play a role in occupying the paper and preventing others from claiming it as their own.

In academia, there has always been a rigid rule. In order to avoid discussions about the ownership of academic results, whoever's academic paper comes out first will attribute the academic results. It is simple and clear. The hidden meaning here is the timeliness, whoever makes the results first,

Whoever has the ownership of the results has the right to do it. If anyone else is just a second slower, they will not get that honor.

And because submitting papers to journals, magazines, journals, magazines often require the paper to be reviewed, and there are even review comments that require the author to respond and revise, this process will take a long time, and over time, it is inevitable that someone will take the paper as their own.

Yes, so in order to avoid this situation, many paper authors will upload their papers to the Internet, so that they can take advantage of the situation and start a war of words and lawsuits. If they have this advantage first and have emails to prove it, they will be invincible.

A place where you can protect your rights.

arxiv is the largest preprint website in the world, and has collected 500,000 preprints so far.

Although the quality of papers on arxiv that have not been peer-reviewed varies, there are some very creative ideas put forward by many newcomers that are very inspiring... but they are not perfect yet!

Liu Yichen browsed the papers on arxiv and read seven or eight papers. Because they were all in English, Liu Yichen's English was still far behind. It seemed quite difficult. In addition, his level was not good enough, so he felt dizzy.

.

"I am still a rookie after all~~" Liu Yichen closed the arxiv website and muttered to himself.

The most interesting thing about mathematics on arxiv is the legend of Perelman. When Perelman posted a preprint of his proof of the Poincaré conjecture on the arxiv website, everyone thought he was another madman at first.

They also ridiculed and ridiculed him, thinking that this was another mathematician who wanted to be famous and crazy. As a result, the mathematics community was quarreling over the paper proving the Poincaré conjecture, and it took three years to publicly admit that Perelman had proved Poincaré.

Lai's conjecture had just become a sensation in the world of mathematics.

In the current world of mathematics, Perelman is an extremely unique existence, not only because Perelman proved the Poincaré conjecture, but also because of his unique personality that made him admired and admired by countless people.

Call him a 'math geek'.

The Internet is full of legends about him. For example, he believed that the mathematics community was biased against him, so he angrily lived in seclusion and was unwilling to accept interviews from the media. He even refused to award a $1 million bonus from the Clay Mathematics Institute.

When the International Mathematical Union decided to award the Fields Medal to him in 2006, Perelman did not even attend the meeting.

There are few mathematicians who can refuse the Fields Medal or $1 million, but Perelman is one of them.

Because the Fields Medal has always been known as the Nobel Prize in mathematics, it is the highest award in mathematics. The conditions for its award are very strict. First of all, the winner must be under 40 years old, because in the mathematics community, a recognized law is

, Mathematicians can only make great achievements before the age of forty. After the age of forty, the body begins to decline, the thinking begins to become slow, and they can no longer make great achievements.

In other words, the Fields Medal is the highest honor that young mathematicians under the age of 40 can receive, and for mathematicians, it is extremely difficult to win the Fields Medal because the time given is limited.

of.

Why Yau Shing Tong and Tao Zhe Xuan have high status in the world of mathematics and are known as the world's top mathematicians? It is because they have overcome many obstacles and won the Fields Medal as Chinese. Chinese want to win the Fields Medal.

It is the most difficult, because academic bias always exists. And when a Chinese wins the Fields Medal, it means that the mathematical results he has made are great enough, and the award is not awarded to him.

The authority will be widely questioned, and the value of the award will plummet.

Yau Shing-tung won the Fields Medal in 1982, when he was only 33 years old. Tao Zhexuan won the Fields Medal in 2006, when he was only 31 years old.

The train arrived at Qingcheng Railway Station at 7 o'clock the next morning. Liu Yichen seemed quite tired, so he went home to sleep first.

"I might as well take the college entrance examination this year~~~" After waking up, an idea popped into Liu Yichen's mind, that is, he would take the college entrance examination one year in advance this year. If so, he might even be able to win the top spot in the college entrance examination in Fujian Province.

Leave this honor to Qingcheng.

After all, Liu Yichen now has 90% of the real questions in the science subject of this year's college entrance examination. The possibility of winning the top spot in this year's college entrance examination in Fujian Province is still very high.

Now he only participates in the Chinese Mathematics National Training Team, so he has enough time to prepare for the college entrance examination. To put it mildly, although Chinese and English are not his strong points, they will definitely not hold him back.

As soon as this thought appeared, Liu Yichen's heart beat faster and faster, and his blood boiled.

The top scorer in the provincial college entrance examination may be rare for other provincial key middle schools, but there have been a few in the past long time. But for Qingcheng, it is completely different, because Qingcheng has never had the top scorer in the Fujian provincial college entrance examination.

.

In a sense, if Liu Yichen can become the top scorer in the college entrance examination in Fujian Province, it will be the most beneficial to Qingcheng No. 1 Middle School, because the college entrance examination is the most popular and the exposure to the school is also the highest.

"I just don't know if the college entrance examination will occupy the quota in colleges and universities." Liu Yichen muttered secretly.

Liu Yichen knew that Shuimu and Yan University recruit about 3,300 undergraduate freshmen each year, and each province has a certain proportion. For example, Qingbei University enrolls about 200 students in Fujian Province each year.

If I don't take the special recruitment route and take the college entrance examination route, will it take up the quota in Fujian Province? If because of my decision, one less student from Fujian Province will go to Qingbei University, it will be a sin.

"Teacher Yu, hello, I am Liu Yichen from Qingcheng No. 1 Middle School in Fujian Province," Liu Yichen picked up his phone and looked through the address book to find the phone number of the director of the admissions office of Shuimu University.

"Hello, classmate Liu Yichen, have you already thought about it?" Yu Han said with a smile.

"It's like this, Teacher Yu, I want to ask, if I take the college entrance examination this year and my college entrance examination score reaches your school's admission score, will it occupy our quota in Fujian Province?" Liu Yichen didn't mince words and asked directly.

.

Yu Han was a little surprised, and then said: "Classmate Liu Yichen, why are you thinking about taking the college entrance examination? You don't have to take the college entrance examination at all. Of course, if you take the college entrance examination and take the college entrance examination, you will naturally occupy the quota."

"Of course, if you are just curious about the college entrance examination and want to fulfill your ambitions for the college entrance examination, and when the college entrance examination is over, you do not fill in your application, or when you fill in your application, there is an admissions teacher with you, and you fill in the form that was given to you before and give it to him, then

It does not occupy the college entrance examination quota." Yu Han said.

Liu Yichen immediately knew that he could take the college entrance examination, but instead of taking the college entrance examination route by filling out a volunteer application, he would still take the special recruitment route. In this way, he would have both, and he could participate in the college entrance examination without occupying the college entrance examination quota.

Sure enough, Chinese people are the most flexible!

"Okay, thank you, Teacher Yu, so I understand." Liu Yichen said.

Later, Liu Yichen called the director of the Admissions Office of Yan University, Liu Ming, and it was the same as Shuimu University.

If you do not fill in the special recruitment form and apply for the college entrance examination, then the quota will be occupied. If you take the college entrance examination and fill in the college entrance examination application, but also fill out the special recruitment form at the same time, then the quota will not be occupied.

Immediately, Liu Yichen made a decision. He decided to take the college entrance examination this year.

"Classmate Liu Yichen, I'm glad that you think so about the school. You think very carefully, which is great!" Cai Mingju smiled after listening to Liu Yichen's words. He didn't expect Liu Yichen to have such thoughts, which is natural for the school.

There is no harm at all, after all, no matter what, the meaning of the college entrance examination is different for everyone.

But Cai Mingju hesitated again: "It's just that now that you have entered the second round of the Chinese National Training Team, participating in this year's college entrance examination will affect your subsequent training and training!"

Cai Mingju knew that in the middle of this month, Liu Yichen would participate in the second round of training team selection. In this round, the last six people would be selected as the Chinese national team to compete in the International Olympic Mathematics Competition. Before the competition, they still need to pass a

Series of training.

"Principal, I think this is okay. Now that my ability in mathematics has reached the level, it should not affect each other. I will just take the college entrance examination in those two days and it will not affect the training of the Chinese national team." Liu Yichen

Said with a smile.

Liu Yichen is still very confident about this.

In the first round of training, Liu Yichen clearly found that his strength was much better than that of other classmates. Moreover, he still had 3 months to prepare, which was enough. He did not believe that others could make rapid progress in these 3 months.
