In the Department of Mathematics, in the office, several people are making tea.

"But, I think this is the right way." Liu Yichen took a sip of tea and said.

"Oh? What evidence is there?" Xu Chenyang raised his eyebrows and said in surprise.

Zhang Wei and Yun Zhiwei looked at Liu Yichen.

"Intuition!" Liu Yichen said two words lightly.

Everyone fainted.

If there is anything in this world that is most unreliable, it must be intuition.

"You... are too unreliable." Xu Chenyang rolled his eyes.

"Even so, my intuition tells me that I can solve the Hodge conjecture!" Yun Zhiwei was not angry either.

The Hodge Conjecture is a major unsolved problem in algebraic geometry proposed by William Valens Douglas Hodge. It is about the algebraic topology of non-singular complex algebraic varieties and its expression by polynomial equations that define sub-varieties.

The conjecture of geometric correlation is one of the seven major mathematical problems in the world. Hodge's conjecture, Fermat's last theorem and Riemann's conjecture have become the geometric topological carrier and tool of m-theory structure that integrates general relativity and quantum mechanics.

This kind of mathematical problem is a hot topic in the study of mathematical research structures in major universities around the world, and Kowloon University is no exception. Some people are also studying the Hodge conjecture.

"Don't believe me, my intuition has always been very accurate." Liu Yichen said with a smile: "Look at whether we have achieved considerable results in standard conjectures in this year, even surpassing Deli

Team Nirvana.”

"If the world has the most hope of solving the standard conjecture, I think it is ours." Liu Yichen laughed.

Others were relieved when they thought that Liu Yichen had achieved outstanding results in mathematics.

It can only be attributed to that unreliable intuition.

But looking back now, the results they achieved on the standard conjecture are already relatively large. Otherwise, they would not have won many international mathematics awards.

It stands to reason that as the main leader of the research team, Liu Yichen deserves the greatest credit. However, since Liu Yichen has already won all those awards, it naturally falls on them.

Just like now, each of them has won the Ramanujan Award.

Of course, the most important thing is that their mathematical attainments in the field of algebraic geometry have improved rapidly.

This feeling is like going back to when they were studying for Ph.D.s and absorbing new knowledge.

After drinking some kung fu tea, Liu Yichen took out two small blackboards: "I have some inspiration from my recent thinking about the standard conjecture..."

Then, he wrote eight lines of calculations on the small blackboard.

Everyone looked surprised, and then looked at the eight-line calculation with solemn expressions, and started a conversation about the pinnacle of human wisdom.

An hour later, Liu Yichen left and returned home.

Collating and translating Grothendieck's manuscripts allowed Liu Yichen to finally take an important step in algebraic geometry. If there are any big names in contemporary algebraic geometry, Liu Yichen himself believes that he already belongs to the ranks of the big ones.

Algebraic geometry is an important branch of modern mathematics. Its basic research object is the geometric properties of a set composed of the common zero points of several algebraic equations in any dimensional (affine or photographic) space. Such

The set is usually called an algebraic variety, and these equations are called the defining equations of the algebraic variety.

For example, the Hodge conjecture is closely related to the subcluster problem and can be expressed as: Suppose x is a non-singular projective algebra variety in the complex field, and p is a positive integer with a dimension smaller than x. Then any type on x is (

There are algebraic representatives in the integral cohomology classes of p, p).

As for Liu Yichen's achievements in the field of algebraic geometry, the first and second questions of the minimal model program are about high-dimensional algebraic varieties. This achievement is the largest achievement in the field of algebraic geometry in recent years.

Regarding the standard conjecture, after seeing Grothendieck's handwritten manuscript and some of Grothendieck's thoughts on the standard conjecture, Liu Yichen naturally gained something.

The eight-line calculation may not seem like much, but it is actually the essence.

It is equivalent to being on the top of the mountain leading to the standard conjecture. They have crossed eight mountains and are even closer to the standard conjecture.

The next day, the office staff gave him a notice, but it was a notice and invitation about this year's annual meeting of the Chinese Mathematical Society. At the same time, as an odd-numbered year, the three major Chinese mathematics awards will be awarded, namely

Chen Shengshen Mathematics Prize, Chung Jiaqing Mathematics Prize and Hua Luogeng Mathematics Prize.

As the vice president of the Chinese Mathematical Society, Liu Yichen is naturally also a member of the Chen Shengshen Mathematics Award and Hua Luogeng Mathematics Award evaluation committees.

Although this year's awards ceremony of the Chinese Mathematical Society is scheduled for November 21, which is still more than half a year away, the award evaluation work has to begin.

Moreover, this year not only will the three major mathematics awards be selected, but the 'Nine Chapters Mathematics Award', which was proposed by him at the Mathematics Society the year before last and is used to commend young mathematicians, set under the age of 40, will also be held for the first time this time.

Issued.

Among the three major existing mathematics awards, the Chen Shengshen Mathematics Award used to be awarded to mathematicians who were almost 60 years old and above. It was somewhat like a lifetime honorary award. Later, it was smashed by Liu Yichen, and the unspoken rules were broken. Naturally, young mathematicians also have the award.

Hope to get.

As for the Zhong Jiaqing Mathematics Award, the conditions are very clear, that is, doctoral students who are studying in various research institutions and colleges and universities in China, and doctoral students who have graduated no more than three years ago.

The Hua Luogeng Mathematics Prize itself requires that the age should in principle be no less than 50 years old, and it has nothing to do with young mathematicians.

The ‘Jiuzhang Mathematics Award’ is specially awarded to young mathematicians.

To this end, Liu Yichen donated 10 million yuan to establish a special prize. The application conditions for the ‘Jiuzhang Mathematics Award’ are young people with Chinese nationality and under the age of 40 (including 40 years old).

The 'Nine Chapters Mathematics Award' is awarded once every four years, with no more than 4 places awarded each time. The prize is up to 500,000 yuan and a gold medal. It has become the highest prize among mathematics awards in China.

And unlike the awards in previous years, this year's four mathematics awards have undergone corresponding reforms. They originally focused on the mainland, but now are all Chinese, including cross-strait, three places, and Chinese with Chinese nationality.

In the past, these were often not taken into consideration.

As for the Chinese, there is nothing they can do.

Therefore, this year's Chinese Mathematical Society will be grander than in previous years. After all, more mathematicians will participate than before.

Times have changed, and it is natural that corresponding adjustments need to be made to adapt to the times. You cannot just talk about your compatriots, and the result...

Of course, nowadays, there are more and more Chinese mathematics awards. In addition to the original three major awards issued by the Chinese Mathematical Society, there are also the Xu Baolu Statistics Award, the Feng Kang Scientific Computing Award, the Shaw "Mathematical Science Award", the Ho Leung Ho Lee Foundation Award, and the Su Buqing Award.

Applied Mathematics Award, etc.

In addition, the ‘Yu Shing-tung Mathematics Prize’, which is constantly being planned and improved, and the ‘Kowloon Mathematics Prize’ being prepared by Kowloon University, it can be said that there are more and more mathematics prizes.

Looking at the document, Liu Yichen thought for a moment and then replied to the email.

To pursue his political career, since he has the vice chairman of the Chinese Mathematical Society on his head, he must also fulfill his obligations and responsibilities.

And, to be honest, with his participation, we can at least minimize some operations and make the awards more just and equitable.

Later, there was another document about the awards for applying for scientific and technological project achievements. Liu Yichen signed it and the work started. Naturally, there was a dedicated person in charge.

China has always attached great importance to science and technology. Generally speaking, there are science and technology awards at the four levels of city, province, ministry and country.

Kowloon University naturally participates in the declaration of scientific and technological achievements at the provincial, ministerial and national levels. After all, this is an honor and is also very important to Kowloon University. Moreover, once the award is awarded, there will be a corresponding bonus, which is an extra sum for the project participants.

Bonuses and resumes can also be enhanced.

Of course, for Liu Yichen, he is happy to see Kowloon University become a catfish and have a catfish effect.

Sometimes, a pool of stagnant water needs catfish to make it fluctuate and become living water with vitality.

He got up and walked towards the School of Science. In an office, Liu Yichen stood at the door. He glanced at the office and saw Lin Bo and Huang Bo concentrating on reading.

Liu Yichen nodded slightly. Although he basically took care of the two students, it didn't mean that he didn't care about them at all and didn't pay attention to them at all.

On the contrary, he will still pay attention from time to time.

Fortunately, he was very satisfied with these two students. No one was paying attention to them all the time, and they were being cared for, but they felt very confident about learning.

In the path of academic research, talent is very important, but so is self-discipline.

In this world, there is never a shortage of young people who become famous, but they are like shooting stars, bright but short-lived, so they never have any achievements.

He still hopes that his students are not meteors, but planets, or even stars, and can walk on the path of their choice throughout their lives.

Graduate students and doctoral students at Kowloon University are actually quite different from those in China. Instead, they study at Princeton. As long as you reach the level, you can graduate and get a diploma or degree certificate. You don't need to wait until the time is up, and there is no lock-in.

Examination, assessment.

Cultivating students is about cultivating interests and hobbies and cultivating souls, rather than cultivating a group of workers and engineers. There are already enough engineers in China. If there are too many, they will not be too much, and if there are too few, they will not be too few.

Liu Yichen is very clear about the positioning of Kowloon University, which is to cultivate high-end talents and cultivate industry leaders.

And he also knew that it was precisely because of this that Kowloon University was able to break all kinds of stereotypes and was given the green light from above. Others who were unhappy with Kowloon University were powerless to do anything.

Otherwise, if it is just an ordinary university, it will not be of any benefit to the country.
Chapter completed!
