These research results are ranked in no particular order, after all, results in different fields cannot be compared horizontally.

Although this is said in name, in fact the ranking of the lists given by "Science" every year still reflects the subjective opinions of the journal editors to a certain extent.

According to the list given by "Science", many people on the Internet are speculating that Liu Yichen may hope to become the second mathematician to win the Nobel Prize in Chemistry after John Popper.

Of course, this is just a layman's perspective.

After all, the views of "Science" only represent "Science" and do not represent the entire scientific community.

The Nobel Prize has very strict criteria for selecting outstanding achievements in the application field. As an outstanding achievement in the application field, the research and development successes resulting from the birth of lithium-sulfur battery technology are representative enough, but they are only promising.

.

The Nobel Prize is not just based on research results. It also pays attention to seniority. There are many people who have made Nobel Prize-level results. I don’t know how many scholars are waiting in line to receive the Nobel Prize, but many people will not be awarded the Nobel Prize until the day they die.

Can receive the Nobel Prize.

After Liu Yichen attended the year-end meeting, he did not return to Princeton University. Instead, he took an international flight and flew directly to China Capital Airport.

This time he went to Beijing to attend the 2010 Fifth World Congress of Chinese Mathematicians.

The World Congress of Chinese Mathematicians (iccm) was promoted by Professor Yau Shing-tung and co-initiated in 1998 together with Chen Qizong, Chairman of Xiangjiang Morningside Group. It is held every three years and is a grand gathering of domestic mathematicians and overseas Chinese mathematicians.

During the conference, the Morningside Mathematics Prize will be awarded, which is also known as the ‘Chinese Fields Medal’ and is the highest award at the World Congress of Chinese Mathematicians.

The founder of the Morningside Mathematics Award was a business tycoon in Xiangjiang who entrusted the Morningside Mathematics Center to organize, select and award awards.

The Morningside Mathematics Award mainly honors Chinese mathematicians under the age of 45 who have made outstanding achievements in pure mathematics and applied mathematics. Each session has 1 to 2 gold medals and several silver medals.

As the most famous Chinese mathematicians today, second only to Qiu Chengtong and Tao Zhexuan, the two leading Philippine Prize winners, Liu Yichen was naturally invited to attend the conference, and Qiu Chengtong had made an agreement with him half a year ago, and as a member of the Chinese mathematicians, he also

I hope the World Congress of Chinese Mathematicians can be successfully held.

Because this is a grand event for cross-strait, three places and overseas Chinese, and it is also a link of exchange. After all, the three major domestic mathematics awards do not include overseas Chinese.

This year’s World Congress of Chinese Mathematicians will be held at the Beijing City Hall.

On December 17, the Fifth World Congress of Chinese Mathematicians was officially held in the Great Hall of Beijing. More than 1,000 mathematicians from all over the world gathered in Beijing. The theme of this conference was to commemorate Mr. Chen Shengshen and Mr. Hua Luogeng, because this year is the anniversary of Hua Luogeng.

The 100th anniversary of his birth and the 99th anniversary of Chen Shengshen's birth. The two can be said to be the greatest Chinese mathematicians of the 20th century. They both taught at Shuimu University and trained a large number of outstanding mathematicians. It can be said that they have disciples and grandchildren all over the country and abroad.

Professor Yau Shing-tung also studied under Mr. Chen Shengshen!

The country attaches great importance to the conference, and has dedicated leaders to participate in the conference and deliver speeches.

At the opening ceremony, the highest award of the Chinese Mathematicians Conference - the Morningside Mathematics Prize was awarded!

Liu Yichen won the Morningside Mathematics Gold Medal without any suspense. The Gold Medal was awarded with a medal and a bonus of US$25,000. Together with him, Wang Mudao, a professor of mathematics at Columbia University, and Wu Shi, a professor at the University of Michigan, received the Morningside Mathematics Gold Medal.

Jue.

Professor Wang Mudao made outstanding contributions to differential geometry and geometric partial differential equations, while Professor Wu Sijue made outstanding contributions to the overall well-posedness of small-amplitude solutions to two- and three-dimensional water wave problems.

In addition, Liu Jun, a professor of statistics at Harvard University, won the Morningside Gold Medal in Applied Mathematics for his important contributions to Monte Carlo inference.

It can be said that this year's Morningside Mathematics Prize has set two records. Liu Yichen won the Gold Medal of the Morningside Mathematics Prize at the age of 20, becoming the youngest winner of this award. Wu Sijue set the first

A Chinese female mathematician won the gold medal.

Participating in the World Congress of Chinese Mathematicians for the first time allowed Liu Yichen to get acquainted with many mathematicians he had never met before. It was also at this time that Liu Yichen suddenly realized that the power of the Chinese mathematics community is not weak, but it is divided into three groups.

The four components of local and overseas Chinese have caused this force to be dispersed.

"Xiao Liu, work hard, learn your skills and serve the country, lay a solid foundation, and learn knowledge more solidly. China not only lacks a Nobel Prize, but also lacks a Fields Medal."

After the opening ceremony, a leader came to Liu Yichen and shook hands with Liu Yichen cordially. He said sincerely: "The Chinese mathematics community also needs a banner to lead the better development of Chinese mathematics!"

Liu Yichen felt quite flattered and said quickly: "Don't worry, leader, you won't get away with the Fields Medal!"

"The edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold! I give this sentence to you. I hope you will not be depressed or give up when you encounter difficulties, but move forward bravely!" said the leader.

Liu Yichen looked at the leader's leaving figure with a thoughtful expression.

Next, there will be a number of special academic reports and mathematics seminars. The entire event lasts for four days, and the closing ceremony will be held on the 22nd.

Liu Yichen was invited to give a one-hour lecture. The lecture he gave was not in the field of number theory, but in the field of algebraic geometry. It was about the first problem and the second problem of the minimal model program. Since solving these two problems of the minimal model program, Liu Yichen

Chen also did not hold an academic seminar specifically because he had a falling out with Yanda at the time and had no intention of doing so.

This time, it was the first time that he gave an academic report on the first and second issues of the minimal model program in public. With a few blackboards and a piece of chalk, Liu Yichen talked with confidence, and each line of calculations represented the

Mathematical language, it doesn’t matter even if you don’t know Chinese, you can communicate through mathematical language.

Mathematical equations and mathematical symbols are common all over the world.

This lecture attracted many people to listen, and even reporters took photos and records. At this moment, Liu Yichen was a scholar, and what he said and wrote on his pen were all mathematical wisdom.

He didn't know how many people would understand it, but it didn't matter. Mathematics was just like that. Only a few mathematicians understood advanced mathematics. They would explain it to some people and let some people master it. Then these people would give lectures or teach their disciples after they mastered it.
