Chapter 655 What everyone expects (5000 words chapter)
The four major awards awarded at the International Congress of Mathematicians refer to the Gauss Award, the Chern Award, the Fields Award and the Newanglinna Award.
First to be announced are the winners of the 2018 Gauss Awards.
The Gauss Prize is an international mathematics award jointly established by the International Mathematical Union and the German Federation of Mathematicians.
The Federation of German Mathematicians is responsible for the administration of the awards.
The Gauss Award was first established in 1998 at the 23rd International Congress of Mathematicians held in Berlin, Germany.
This award is also in memory of Gauss, a German mathematician known as the "Prince of Mathematics".
The Gauss Award is mainly used to reward mathematicians who have made outstanding achievements in applied mathematics.
It is also the highest award in the field of applied mathematics.
Under the eyes of the audience, the names of the 2018 Gauss Award winners were announced.
David Donoghue, a professor at Stanford University, received the award.
The reason for his award is to recognize his fundamental contributions to the mathematical, statistical and computational analysis of important problems in signal processing.
This is a mathematician that Chen Zhou has heard of but never met.
When watching the 60-year-old winner step into the podium, Chen Zhou also gave him his own applause.
After the Goss Award, the winner of the 2018 Chern Award was announced.
The Chern Prize awarded at the International Congress of Mathematicians is not the same as the Chern Prize awarded by Chen Zhou before.
The Chern Mathematics Award is Huaguo's mathematics award, which is only awarded to mathematicians in Huaguo.
But the similarity between the two is that they were both set up to commemorate Mr. Chern Shing-shen.
The Chern Prize was announced in 2009 by the International Mathematical Union.
This is also the first time that the International Mathematical Union has named the Mathematics Prize after a Chinese mathematician.
Mainly to reward mathematicians who have made outstanding achievements in the international field of mathematics.
It is worth noting that the Chern Award is not limited to branches of mathematics and age.
All living natural persons, regardless of age or occupation, are eligible to receive the medal.
Because the Chern Award is awarded to "an individual who has won the highest praise for his lifetime outstanding achievements in the field of mathematics."
His achievements, which must be recognized at the highest level, are outstanding achievements in the field of mathematics.
This award is also the highest level lifetime achievement award in the international mathematics community.
However, in the selection process, factors such as age and academic achievement will be more or less comprehensively considered.
Thinking of this, Chen Zhou suddenly felt that at the next International Conference of Mathematicians, would he have a chance to be awarded an exception?
Chen Zhou thought out of the box, naturally referring to his age.
However, Chen Zhou suddenly felt a little uncomfortable when he thought that the prize money of this award was not completely controlled by himself.
The winners of the Chern Award will receive a prize of US$50 in addition to the medal.
However, half of the bonus, that is, 25 US dollars, belongs to the "organization award".
The $25 "Institution Award" must be donated to organizations that promote the advancement of mathematics.
Doesn't the organization that promotes the advancement of mathematics refer to the International Mathematical Union itself?
Sure enough, where the money came from, it has to go back.
Of course, it is not necessary to donate to the International Mathematical Union, and it is also possible to donate to the mathematics institutions of each country.
It is worth mentioning that even the remaining US$25 bonus is far more than the US$1500 bonus for the Fields Medal.
On the stage, Masaki Kashiwahara, a Japanese mathematician with gray hair, was receiving the 2018 Chern Award.
Masaki Kashiwahara received the award in recognition of his outstanding and fundamental contributions to algebraic analysis and representation theory over the past 50 years.
At this time, Schultz, who was sitting with Chen Zhou, suddenly came over and said to Chen Zhou: "I think you will get this award soon."
Chen Zhou tilted his head slightly, glanced at the man known as a genius mathematician in Germany, and said with a soft smile: "If nothing else happens, I think you should get it before me."
Schultz froze for a moment, then smiled and said, "Although I'm a little older than you, we should be the same age, so don't think I'm so old..."
"No." Chen Zhou replied with a smile.
Schultz looked at the stands and announced that he would donate the "Institution Award" to Masaki Kashiwahara of the International Mathematical Union.
He suddenly said seriously: "Although there are not a few people waiting in line to receive the Chern Award, I still think that you should break this rule. Especially in the early days of this award, it is even more important to award it to someone like you." Easy to determine what this award really means!"
Chen Zhou didn't expect Schultz to be very serious and say such a thing.
He thought for a while, and said with a narrow face: "This is the Lifetime Achievement Award. If I get it, doesn't that mean I'm going to retire? And if I retire, don't you have no rivals?"
Schultz shook his head with a smile, and said: "If you say so, I guess the International Mathematical Union will never award you this award. If you retire, it will definitely be a great loss to the mathematics community. As for the opponent..."
Before Schultz finished speaking, his attention was attracted by the people on stage.
Because, the highlight of today's conference opening ceremony is also the focus of the entire opening ceremony.
The announcement and awarding of the Fields Medals is coming soon.
Chen Zhou didn't ask any more questions, and also looked at the people on the stage.
This is also something that the entire international mathematics community and mathematicians all over the world are paying attention to.
In the venue, many mathematicians began to become nervous.
Among them, there are many people who are already in their age and are about to pass the 40-year-old mark.
If they don't win this time, they will miss the Fields Medal for life.
The Fields Medal was established in 1932 at the Ninth International Congress of Mathematicians.
The awards were then presented for the first time in 1936.
This is an international mathematics award dedicated to rewarding young mathematicians under the age of 40.
Because the awards are presented at the same time as the International Congress of Mathematicians, every mathematician who doesn't take the chance risks waiting for 4 years.
It can even be said that it is more difficult to win a Fields Medal than a Nobel Prize.
Of course, this is not to be compared with the Nobel Peace Prize.
In addition, although all the prizes of the Fields Medal, there is only a gold medal and a prize of 1500 US dollars.
It is far inferior to the Nobel Prize.
However, in the face of such harsh award conditions, the academic reputation of Fields Medal winners is definitely not inferior to that of Nobel Prize winners.
Xu Chenyang, who was not sitting with Chen Zhou, was watching the situation on the stage nervously.
He wanted to hear the names of the winners, to be announced one by one, but he was afraid of hearing the names of the winners.
Because he is afraid, there is no self in it.
Xu Chenyang, born in 1981, is 37 years old this year, and this is his last chance to win the Fields Medal.
Wait four more years and he will be over the age limit for the winner.
At that point, there is no chance.
"Chenyang, are you sure? This time, you are a mathematician invited to give a 45-minute academic report."
The person who asked this question was sitting next to Xu Chenyang, the head of the delegation of the Huaguo Mathematical Society at the International Mathematicians Conference, and the chairman of the Huaguo Mathematical Society, Academician Yuan Yaxiang.
Xu Chenyang shook his head and said truthfully, "I'm not sure..."
Seeing Xu Chenyang's appearance, Yuan Yaxiang comforted: "Confidence is still needed. Among young mathematicians, you are already the most outstanding ones."
Facing Yuan Yaxiang's consolation, Xu Chenyang said: "But compared with some people, I am actually still a bit behind."
Yuan Yaxiang, who heard this, fell silent and stopped talking.
Anyway, the result will be announced soon, no amount of encouragement is actually of much use in the face of the real facts.
At this moment, Xu Chenyang raised his head slightly and looked at Yun Zhiwei and Zhang Wei who were sitting two seats away.
The two seemed to have a feeling in their hearts, and they turned their heads to look at Xu Chenyang together.
The three of them looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
The three members of the golden generation of the Department of Mathematics of Yanda University were also invited to give a 45-minute academic report at this International Conference of Mathematicians.
But obviously, the goal of the three is not the honor of being invited to give an academic report. They all hope to win the dreamed Fields Medal before the age of 40.
Compared to Xu Chenyang, Yun Zhiwei and Zhang Wei are actually one year younger, and they both have another chance.
However, they all know that chances should never and should not be thought about next time.
Because, when you leave yourself a way out, that opportunity is almost far away from you.
After all, no one knows what will happen in the next four years.
What kind of evil genius will suddenly pop out.
Therefore, for Yun Zhiwei and Zhang Wei, the only option is to seize the opportunity in front of them.
The eyes of the three separated, Xu Chenyang subconsciously looked at Chen Zhou who was sitting not far away.
He should be able to, right?
No, how can I say it should?
His words are 100% sure.
Looking at Chen Zhou's Xu Chenyang, he was somewhat envious in his heart.
At this time, Yuan Yaxiang, who was sitting next to Xu Chenyang, asked again: "I remember you told me before that you don't like the research environment in China and have always thought of leaving. But recently I discovered that you have Don't talk about it anymore, why?"
Xu Chenyang withdrew his gaze, turned his head to look at Yuan Yaxiang, and said softly, "Because of Professor Chen Zhou, he made me see something different."
"Professor Chen..." Yuan Yaxiang repeated the name.
He probably got it.
The appearance of Chen Zhou has indeed changed the research environment of Huaguo's academic circle.
Thinking of this, Yuan Yaxiang's gaze could not help but drift to Chen Zhou.
The only mathematician who was invited to give an academic report of 1 hour and 45 minutes is equivalent to the International Mathematical Union helping him hold a report meeting. This young man is incredible...
It seems that this young man, who has only been on the scene for a few years, is going to bring a big gift to Huaguo's academic circle...
Yuan Yaxiang, who looked at Chen Zhou, was deeply moved when he thought of the list on the meeting schedule.
On the stage at this time, as the chairman of the International Mathematical Union and the winner of the Fields Medal, Shigefumi Mori began to announce the names of the four 4 Fields Medal winners.
"The first person to win the Fields Medal was the one who made the most of the application of optimal transport theory in partial differential equations, metric geometry and probability, and made outstanding contributions. ETH University in Zurich, Switzerland Professor Alessio Figalli..."
This is a young mathematician who is nearly 34 years old.
Amid the warm applause of congratulations, Alessio Figalli, who hadn't expected it, had a particularly excited expression on his face.
It seems to be because there are still three names to be announced, and it also seems to prevent Alessio Figalido from waiting, let alone everyone.
Mori Shigefumi on the stage continued to announce the name of the second winner.
"The second person to receive the Fields Medal has made outstanding contributions in many fields of mathematics, whether it is comprehensive analysis of number theory, or homogeneous dynamical systems, or topology and representation theory, and arithmetic. Object distribution, he has made special contributions and solved long-standing problems. He is Professor Aksaj Venkatesh from Stanford University in the United States..."
Aksayi Venkatesh was born in 1981 like Xu Chenyang.
It was also his last chance to win a Fields Medal.
Fortunately, he seized this opportunity.
Aksayi Venkatesh with two temples and some gray hair, when he heard his name, his eyes shone with unusual excitement.
All mathematicians present also gave warm applause to Aksayi Venkatesh.
Now, there are two names left.
Schultz also became a little nervous at this time. He has accompanied him for two years, but he doesn't want to wait until the next time.
Chen Zhou, who noticed the change of expression on Schultz's face, smiled and said, "Hey, brother, don't be nervous, I bet you will be next."
Schultz squeezed a smile at Chen Zhou: "I'm not as calm as you, almost everyone knows that you have reserved a place in advance, that is to say, there is only one person left, can I not be nervous? "
Chen Zhou smiled, but did not speak.
The reservation is nothing more than rumors from the outside world, just like a mathematical conjecture, no one knows what the answer will be until the final result comes out.
Maybe he will lose the election?
Of course, this result is negligible.
Mori Shigefumi paused for a while, and then continued to announce: "The third person who won the Fields Medal is a genius in the field of algebraic geometry. It was applied to Galois representation and developed a new cohomology theory at the same time. He is a researcher at the Max Planck Institute in Germany, Professor Peter Schulz of the University of Bern in Germany..."
After hearing his name, Schultz was visibly relieved.
Fortunately, I have my own name.
Amidst the warm applause, three of the four winners of the Fields Medal have been announced, and the last one is left.
At this moment, Mori Shigefumi was not in a hurry anymore.
He began to feel that it would be good to ask everyone to wait at the last person's place.
However, those mathematicians who were originally nervous were no longer nervous after the first three names were announced.
They knew that their chance this time was gone.
Because the last person's name had been reserved almost a year earlier.
After relaxing, they, together with other mathematicians sitting under the stage, looked in the same direction.
In this direction, there is the person who booked the Fields Award in advance.
Noticing the movements of everyone in the audience, Mori Shigefumi followed them to see the direction, and also saw the person whose name had not been announced.
Mori Shigefumi couldn't help smiling. This is probably the first time that all mathematicians think that person should win the Fields Medal.
He also felt for the first time that that person might not get more honors because of the Fields Medal.
On the contrary, the Fields Medal may become more meaningful because of that person.
This is probably what everyone expected.
Schultz also looked at Chen Zhou at this time, and he waited for the name of the person beside him to be announced.
No longer showing off too much, Mori Shigefumi cleared his throat and began to announce the name of the last recipient of the 2018 Fields Medal.
"He came from the Hail conjecture, creatively invented the mathematical tool of distribution deconstruction, and further improved the distribution deconstruction method in the subsequent Kramer conjecture and Jebov conjecture, making it a field of number theory, An extremely important mathematical tool..."
"His research on the Galvaro group made the inclusiveness of the distribution deconstruction method begin to be shown to the world, and the thought of algebraic geometry began to be integrated into the distribution deconstruction method, so he solved the problem left by Professor Artin ..."
"There is also the pearl of number theory that has troubled the mathematics world for three centuries because of a letter, and he has also successfully picked it up. His Chen-Goldbach theorem has made us appreciate the charm of number theory again..."
"Not only in the field of number theory and algebraic geometry, but also in the subdivided field of dual rational geometry, he crossed the two mountains of the minimal model program, and creatively used Z-theory to solve the two major problems of the minimal model program, Made an outstanding contribution to…”
"If we say that the Millennium Prize problem is prepared for the 21st century, then for him, the Yang-Mills gauge field existence and mass interval assumptions, as well as the quantitative calculation method, are his breakthroughs ahead of the 21st century. first step……"
"The difficulty of the problems he solved and his contribution to the field of mathematics, I can only use two words to describe it, that is 'shocking'! Because he is only 22 years old!"
Having said that, Mori Shigefumi paused for a moment, letting himself breathe a sigh of relief.
The award speech of the last winner is far more than that of the first three.
What's more, the sum of the first three award speeches is not as many as the last one.
This is not special treatment, just because the last one, a random research result, is heavyweight.
And he still has a lot...
After taking a deep breath, Mori Shigefumi finally announced solemnly: "The last person to win the Fields Medal is from Yenching University in China, Professor Chen Zhou!"
boom!
As soon as Mori Shigefumi finished his announcement, thunderous applause broke out in the entire venue.
The applause went straight into the sky.
This applause lasted for a long time.
This applause also represents that everyone expects it.
Thank you for the 100 starting coins rewarded by the stars on the book friend month!
Thanks to book friend Yan Hongxue for the 100 starting coins!
