Omnipotent Data

Chapter 401

Under the sound of snapping pictures, the four mathematicians accepted the trophy from Chairman Kenneth with a smile.

The four Philippine Award winners, headed by Francisco, gave a short acceptance speech.

The content mentioned is probably also thanks to this, thanks to that and so on.

Cheng Nuo stood in the corner, staring enviously at the four people who were shining brightly in front of them.

I don't know when I will reach such a height.

The opening ceremony of the International Congress of Mathematicians will be over when the four Philippine Prize winners walk off the stage.

This afternoon and the next two days, apart from a few small-scale lectures, it will be another important project academic report of the International Mathematical Conference.

Different from ordinary reports in universities or at academic exchanges, being able to make an academic report here represents a very high honor.

Therefore, more than 180 and 80 mathematicians in this International Congress of Mathematicians were selected from the top mathematicians in 19 research fields of mathematics.

Almost all of them represent the top level in their respective fields.

Academic research reports are divided into one hour and 45 minutes, and the former is naturally higher than the latter.

For those mathematicians who have no hope of competing for the Fields Medal, or who have passed the prescribed number of years for the Fields Medal, it is a lifelong honor to be able to give academic reports at the International Congress of Mathematicians.

In this conference, 185 speakers were invited, including 16 Chinese mathematicians, a record high.

You must know that there were only two or three Chinese mathematicians invited by the International Conference of Mathematicians held in the early 21st century. It is not easy to reach this level now.

…………

There were more than one hundred academic reports, and it was impossible for that group of mathematicians to attend every one, not to mention that some academic reports were given at the same time.

At noon, Cheng Nuo had already obtained the arrangements for more than 100 academic reports through Tan Weiwei's relationship.

Overall, the schedule is tight. Because there will be lectures and academic exchanges later.

Cheng Nuo definitely didn't plan to listen to all the academic reports.

He picked up the important ones and listened to the ones he was interested in. As for those academic reports that were not in his own research direction, or those invited speakers were not very famous, Cheng Nuo naturally skipped them.

It is worth mentioning that there are 13 Philippine Prize winners participating in this International Congress of Mathematicians, oh no, to be precise, there are now 17 winners.

Ten of the seventeen Philippine Prize winners were invited as academic speakers.

Except for the report topic of a Fei Award winner who studies mathematics and physics, which is a bit different from Cheng Nuo's research direction, the remaining nine reports, no matter what, Cheng Nuo still wants to get in and listen.

If you do nothing else, just pay tribute to the heroic figure of the boss.

…………

In the first session in the afternoon, Cheng Nuo went to listen to an academic report by Professor Billy, who is currently a Phi Award winner from Princeton University in the United States.

It has to be said that the attractiveness of the winner of the Philippine Prize is extremely high among mathematicians.

The small auditorium with more than 300 people was almost full except for a row of seats in the back row.

Professor Billy, who was only in his 60s, slowly walked up to the podium with the support of an assistant. Cheng Nuo, who was originally standing in the corner of the auditorium, saw the timing and sat in the empty seat in the last row.

On the contrary, several mathematicians noticed what was happening on Cheng Nuo's side, but they didn't care. They just thought that the waiter was tired from standing and sat down for a while when there was an empty seat.

However, if you come to Philadelphia for a business trip in the future, try not to stay at this King Kai Hotel.

The waiters dare to be lazy secretly, presumably the service of the hotel will not be so good.

Tan Weiwei's uncle would never know, because this incident would lower the evaluation of several mathematicians on their hotel, but even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care. Rich and powerful!

Professor Billy is a top expert in algebra theory.

That year, it was precisely because of his significant contributions in the direction of group theory and homology algebra that he was named the winner of the Fields Medal.

Therefore, the core of his academic report this time is still algebra, but a little bit of arithmetic geometry has been added.

The name of the academic report is called "SeresultsonaffineDeligne-Lusztigvarieties", which translates to "Results of a Class of Affine DL Cluster Varieties".

The so-called affine DL clusters belong to a class of algebraic clusters. The algebraic variety refers to the set of public zero-point solutions of polynomial sets in algebraic geometry.

Affine DL clusters are a concept proposed by the American mathematician Denton Corelle a year ago. After a year of development, it has become one of the hot issues in the field of algebraic geometry.

Cheng Nuo had little contact with algebra before, so he only knew what an affine DL cluster was in general, but Cheng Nuo didn't know much about its specific properties.

The content of Professor Bill's academic report on the stage is to use Lie groups in algebra as the starting point, and introduce the latest progress of affine DL clusters through Lie algebras.

Even though he was sitting in the last row and couldn't touch the boss in the front row, Cheng Nuo still raised his head and listened with gusto.

As for the mathematicians in the back row, most of them came to pay their respects to Professor Bill, but due to their inappropriate majors, they didn't pay much attention to what he taught.

When they lost their minds halfway, they took a subconscious glance and saw the waiter listening carefully with his neck straight.

They were taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter.

Does this waiter really think that he can become a mathematician by listening to an academic report and being educated by a master of mathematics?

Not to mention anything else, the waiter could understand one-tenth, oh no, one-hundredth of what Professor Bill said above, and then the group of mathematics workers could buy a piece of tofu and crash to death.

"This is what I want to talk about. If you have any questions, you can raise your hand and ask, of course, you can also write the questions on a small note and send them to me. Both ways are fine." Professor Bill explained the content on the PPT After speaking, he smiled and asked everyone present.

As a Philippine award leader, Professor Bill, the invited speaker, naturally gave a one-hour academic report, but it must not be a neat one hour.

At present, fifty minutes have passed since the report, and the remaining ten minutes or so are left for everyone to ask questions.

After listening to a report, Cheng Nuo, who had learned a lot, suppressed the excitement in his heart while concentrating on the content of the report.

Cheng Nuo, who didn't know much about this direction, was naturally full of confusion now.

However, it was impossible for him to ask questions blatantly, so he had to tear off half a piece of paper from the notebook he carried with him, write down the content of the question, stood up, pretended to be passing by, and handed it to the mathematician in front of him. "Sir, please pass forward."

"Oh, good." The mathematician subconsciously took it and handed it to the person in front.

After being stunned for a few seconds, the mathematician seemed to have thought of something and turned his head suddenly.

Looking at the empty seats behind him, the mathematician felt a chill down his spine.
