A peer-review of a major conjecture often does not strictly enforce the double-blind principle as a general journal submission, because there are so many people in the field, and the problems found during the review are also required by Lu Zhou. Explanation. .

As soon as the report was over, Lu Zhou received a list of reviewers from the Yearbook of Mathematics.

Because the "Year of Mathematics" is jointly operated by Princeton University and the Princeton Institute of Advanced Studies, the meaning of Lu Zhou is probably similar to the "school magazine" open to the public, so this list does not appear in his mailbox, but editor Evans personally sent it to Lu Zhou's hand.

"...Your paper will be openly and independently judged by six people including Faltins, Helfgot, Ivanets, etc. Enjoy the evening party, starting from tomorrow, some of you are busy." Evans said with a smile.

Faltins! Ivan pinch!

Looking at the list, Lu Zhou numb scalp.

It is understandable that Helfgott will appear on the list. After all, he is also studying the Goldbach conjecture. The understanding of the round method can be said to be the first in the world, just like Chen Jingrun’s method.

But Fartings’s algebraic geometry is so busy that it’s so busy...

Although he did use algebraic geometry, he solved a few problems.

Put away the list, Lu Zhou coughed a cry: "... I hope that the big men will be merciful."

"Let's be merciful? It's impossible, this is one of the crowns of analytical number theory," Evans haha ​​laughed and took the arm of the next boat. "Professor Saneck of the Institute of Advanced Studies is quite optimistic about your paper. So, you can be more confident about yourself. I am optimistic about you, come on!"

Lu Zhou naturally knows who Evans said is Professor Sanek, Princeton has a number of professors, but only one is famous, that is, the editor of the Yearbook of Mathematics, petarnak, 14 Wolverine winner of the year.

Although there are no such big names as Faltins and Ivanets, their authority in the field of number theory is beyond doubt.

However, because of various reasons, such as avoiding suspicion, there is only one researcher at the Princeton Institute of Advanced Studies in this review list, but it is not Peter Saneck. However, the researcher of the Paris Normal University has occupied two places.

In fact, Evans is still not accurate enough.

It’s not from tomorrow, just after the end of this report, Lu Zhou has already begun to get busy.

When he left the No. 1 lecture hall of the Institute of Advanced Studies, the reporters who had been ambushing for a long time chased them up.

"Mr. Lu Zhou, I am a reporter for the Philadelphia Daily. Can you teach at Princeton? Will you return to China?"

Lu Zhou: "Of course, Huaguo is my motherland. I will eventually go back. But at the same time, I also like the pure academic environment of Princeton. It is a good place to exchange academics. If Princeton is willing to give me a teaching position, I Of course I am willing to accept it."

"Hello, Mr. Lu Zhou, I am a reporter for The Daily Mail. How do you feel about your report?"

"Nervous, and excited...so I need a break now, very much needed. You can go to interview Professor Delière of my mentor. He has provided me a lot of help, and he knows my research very well..."

The squeaky problems caused by these reporters throwing one by one made the scalp numb, and Lu Zhou was really unable to stand up, so he used the tricks of the cockroach.

However, he did not expect that this was just the beginning.

In the evening, the Princeton Hotel's banquet, although nominally meant to give a good time to see the scholars can provide a chance to meet, but now, this banquet has completely become the Princeton Institute of Advanced Studies for the Lu Zhou A celebration feast.

In addition to the unintelligible ab conjecture, the settlement of Goldbach’s conjecture will undoubtedly be listed as one of the most important academic achievements after the Poincaré conjecture, and this achievement is still the most difficult outcome. Analyze the field of number theory.

When Lu Zhouyi appeared in the ballroom of the Princeton Hotel, it immediately became the focus of the audience.

Although he circumvented the crowd in a low-key manner and walked over the long table of food and champagne, it was obvious that other people would not easily let go of the opportunity to talk to him.

Lu Zhou just added a piece of steak to the plate and saw a middle-aged man in a suit and walked with a champagne.

"Hello, I am John Morgan, head of the Department of Mathematics at Columbia University."

"Lu Zhou, I am very glad to meet you." Lu Zhou smiled and nodded, politely shook his hand.

"I am also very happy to meet you. Your research results are amazing. To be honest, I have never seen a young mathematician who can study the problems in a certain field to your extent."

This Morgan is a very talkable person, and he does not praise in his words. He said that Lu Zhou is a little embarrassed.

The two chatted very easily, but chatted and talked, Morgan sent the topic to Columbia University.

"...University of Columbia has many outstanding Chinese mathematicians, such as Zhang Wei and Zhang Taowu. They are very good scholars. Here we can communicate with many excellent Chinese students, and our attitude towards Chinese students and professors. It is definitely the most open in the United States, especially for scholars with potential or ability. As long as you are willing to come, we can directly hire you as a full professor."

Speaking of this, Professor Morgan, who is endless with champagne, has no cover.

Lu Zhou smiled and was preparing to use the phrase "I will seriously consider your suggestion" as an answer. As a result, Professor Delini's voice came from the side.

"These things you said, Princeton can also provide."

Morgan had squatted and looked back, and the smile was a little subtle.

"...Delini? Oh, my friend, I didn't expect you to be here too."

"It's nice to meet you, Professor Morgan." Not very familiar. Deligne just whispered a good voice, then looked at Lu Zhou and paused for a while before continuing. "I was planning to wait until tomorrow. But the opportunity is rare. With this rare opportunity, I intend to announce one thing."

The people who exchanged talks nearby stopped talking and turned their curious eyes here, waiting for him to continue.

Responding to those curious sights, Deligne stared at Lu Zhou and said with solemn tone.

"Lu Zhou."

Feeling the solemnity and seriousness of the line of sight, Lu Zhou subconsciously straightened his waist and put on a serious expression.

Looking at his students, Professor Delini nodded and continued: "Given the results you have achieved during your Ph.D., you have proven your academic ability. After research and discussion at the Princeton Institute of Advanced Studies, we decided to grant you PhD."

As Professor Delière’s voice fell, applause sounded around.

Several young students even whistled on the landing boat.

Some of them are Chinese students, and some are members of the Princeton Ivy Club. For this great god, they are worshipped from the heart.

A doctoral degree, although not worthy of glory, is at best a deserved name.

But in just three months, getting a Ph.D. will undoubtedly be written into Princeton's school history, or even in history.

However, Professor Delini did not finish the words and obviously intended to say something.

After waiting for the applause to calm down, he continued with a steady voice.

"Similarly, after a discussion at the Princeton Institute of Advanced Studies, the Princeton Institute of Advanced Studies has solemnly and sincerely invited you to a faculty position at the Princeton Institute, in view of the series of major breakthroughs you have made in the prime number field. ”

At the end of the day, Professor Delini looked at Lu Zhou's gaze and brought a few thumbs up.

"The hired offer will be sent to your hand with your degree card. Of course, whether you accept the offer of the offer, the choice is yours."

A few big trips don't feel anything, just a professor's title. As for the same age people, and those who are not famous, they hold their breath.

Maybe someone might think that a professor's title is nothing.

But here is the Princeton Institute of Advanced Studies, the center of the world of mathematics after World War II!

Moreover, he is only 21 years old...

嫉妒 Make people separate the walls...

Morgan didn't talk, just shrugged and made a helpless expression.

Compared with the academic world's "headhunting company" Princeton Institute of Advanced Studies, Columbia University is still not enough to see, even if the position of the head of the mathematics department is given to him, most of them are no good.

Lu Zhou was also stunned by this sudden problem.

After a while, he took a deep breath.

"...What is the teaching position?"

Professor Delini said in a voice that is taken for granted.

"What can it be besides being a professor?"
