Cole Algebra Prize.
It is an award established by American Mathematical Society AMS, which is mainly awarded to mathematicians who have made significant achievements in algebra.
Of course, this award is not completely international, which means that its winners are subject to certain restrictions in terms of identity. They are either members of American Mathematical Society, or authors who have published outstanding articles in American journals.
However, American Mathematical Society can be regarded as a relatively international mathematics research group. Its scale is also very large, basically second only to International Mathematical Union. There are quite a few mathematicians from all over the world in this association.
In addition, AMS-LaTeX, a very famous paper formatting tool under its name, was developed by American Mathematical Society, which facilitates every science scholar in the world.
There is also "Journal of the American Mathematical Society", one of the Four Top Journalss in the mathematics world, which is also a journal under the name of this society.
However, for Xiao Yi at this moment, when he heard so many people telling him that he had obtained Cole Algebra Prize, he was still a little unable to react.
Why did this happen so suddenly?
Professor Sanak stood in front of him at this time and sent congratulations to him.
Xiao Yi immediately asked, "Professor Sanak, when did this happen? I didn't know about it before?"
Sanak laughed and said, "Just now, the official website of AMS announced this matter. This year's Cole Algebra Prize winner is you!"
Then he pulled the person next to him in front of Xiao Yi and said, "This is the current vice president of AMS, Professor Jesus Loera."
"He can vouch for that to you."
Professor Loela also smiled and said to Xiao Yi, "Yes, Xiao, I can definitely testify. In fact, I just received a call from our chairman informing me of the result."
"Generally speaking, we will announce the winner of the Cole Award some time in advance. Last year, you successfully completed the proof of the Elliott-Halberstam conjecture using etale algebraic variety automorphism theory, and after passing the review of the review committee organized by "Annals of Mathematics", we have decided to award this award to you."
"It's just that after that, we learned that you had announced the proof of Twin Prime Conjecture, so after some discussion, we decided to see if you could bring us more surprises, so we haven't announced it yet."
"The gratifying thing is that today, this surprise is indeed delivered to us."
"On behalf of AMS, I'd like to congratulate you on making such a major breakthrough for our mathematical community."
Then, Loela raised the red wine glass in her hand and gestured towards Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi was still surprised by the sudden news, and subconsciously raised the milk in his hand.
After he came back to his senses, Loela had already touched him with a smile, and didn't care whether he drank wine or milk.
"Cheers!"
Everyone who gathered around raised their glasses and shouted together, "Cheers!"
Then they all drank together.
Xiao Yi, who came back to his senses, what can he say in the face of such a situation?
Naturally, we can only drink it together.
Then, people came up to him one after another and said, "Congratulations."
In the end, everyone was almost gone, and only the three Terence Tao who were looking for him just now, Professor Sanak, and Professor Loela were left.
"This..." Xiao Yi finally asked, "But doesn't the Kohl Award have requirements on the identity of the winner?"
Professor Loera smiled and said, "Even if you are not a member of our AMS, if you can publish a paper in an American journal, it will be enough."
"It's the two papers you submitted to "Annals of Mathematics"."
Sanak also nodded. "Moreover, your two papers have been officially published. Our first volume this year has also been printed, and your copy has been sent to China."
"Well... when I came here just now, I should have picked up one for you."
Sanak patted his head and said, "How about you go to the office with me later to get a copy?"
"And by the way..." The dignified Wolf Prize in Mathematics winner chuckled, "Let's discuss again about submitting your paper to our "Annals of Mathematics"?"
When Professor Loela next to him heard this, he immediately pushed Sanak aside and said, "Xiao Yi has submitted two articles to you before, so you should consider our "Journal of the American Mathematical Society" this time? I am also the editor-in-chief of our journal. As long as you submit it to us, I can arrange to be published in the journal immediately! How about it?"
"Professor Loela, I recommended you to Xiao Yi, how can you compete with me? You must be reasonable!" Sanak immediately expressed angrily.
"Hey, if it were another paper, I certainly wouldn't compete with you, but this is the proof of Twin Prime Conjecture."
Loella was very apologetic, but she did not change her attitude at all because of Sanak's anger.
"I misjudged you!" Sanak was so angry that he blew his beard and stared.
However, just as the two of them were arguing, an old professor suddenly walked up to Xiao Yi secretly and said to him, "Xiao Yi, do you want to consider our "Acta Mathematica"? I am Edgar Barton, the editor-in-chief of "Acta Mathematica". If you submit your article to us, we will not require any page fees."
"Barton, what do you want to do, old guy?"
However, before Xiao Yi could speak, the old professor was already seen by Sanak and Loela, and the two people immediately pulled Barton away again.
What followed was a melee between the three editors-in-chief of the three top journals in mathematics.
All we need is the editor-in-chief of "Mathematical Research Letters", so we can get Four Top Journals together.
"Tsk, is this the power of Twin Prime Conjecture? I've learned a lot."
Looking at the scene in front of him, Terence Tao couldn't help but sigh.
Xiao Yi looked ashamed, and even wanted to go up and shout, "Don't hit me anymore."
"Okay, why don't we take this time to continue talking about the topic we just talked about?"
Zhang Yitang next to him suggested at this time.
"I agree." Maynard nodded. As for the battle between the editors...
They couldn't get involved anyway.
So a few people immediately made a decision, then found a seat nearby and began to discuss matters about future cooperation.
Just when Xiao Yi and Terence Tao were discussing cooperation matters, the news that he obtained Cole Algebra Prize quickly spread, and it immediately caused quite a stir in the entire mathematics community.
Of course, the same is true outside the world of mathematics.
After all, during this period of time, the proof of Twin Prime Conjecture is the biggest news, and is being discussed enthusiastically all over the world.
And now that such a piece of news has been revealed, the major media outlets have naturally become even more excited about it and have begun to publish relevant news.
For example, on Weibo in China, originally only the first three hot searches were news related to Xiao Yi proving Twin Prime Conjecture. But now, the fourth hot search has become ##Xiao Yi Wins Cole Prize in Algebra##, and the popularity is still rising. It may soon push ##A Perfect Report##, which was originally in third place.
Click in and see that the person who posted this news is still CCTV News.
[American Mathematical Society has just announced the winner of this year's Cole Algebra Prize. The winner is Xiao Yi. The reason for the award is: in recognition of his important achievements in establishing a connection between Far Abelian Geometry and number theory. The etale algebraic variety automorphic theory was used to prove the Elliott-Halberstam conjecture.
Cole Algebra Prize represents that in the past six years, the renamed winner has made extremely outstanding achievements in the field of algebra, which was...]
Netizens who saw this news immediately went crazy.
Did this come too suddenly?
Less than an hour ago, it was said that Twin Prime Conjecture was proved. How long had it passed, and then another announcement was made saying that he had won the award??
Don't be so exaggerated!
[ah? ah? ah?]
[I really like what netizens said: Huh?]
[Hey! Any other big news? So awesome?]
[Oh my god, this is Cole Algebra Prize. Although it is not the top award, the results of those who can win this award must be the top level in algebra. The previous winners are all big guys, like Peter Schultz, who also won this award!]
[Just kidding, the previous winners were all big guys, it sounds like the current winner, Scholar Xiao, is no longer a big guy.]
[Perhaps, the current winner should be a giant? Twin Prime Conjecture, who was able to do it at Scholar Xiao's age, who can guess what will happen in 10 years?]
[I bet that Scholar Xiao will be able to prove Riemann Hypothesis in ten years!]
[By the way, why is it Cole Algebra Prize and not the Cole Prize for Number Theory? I remember, doesn't the Kohl Prize also have a number theory prize?]
[Because the Kohl Prize, whether it is the number theory prize or the algebra prize, is awarded every three years. Last year, the number theory prize was awarded. The winner was James·Maynard. This year it is Cole Algebra Prize's turn. Anyway, Scholar Xiao's achievements also happened to win the algebra prize. etale algebraic clusters are self-contained, which is definitely the achievement of the gods in the field of algebra.]
[Brother, I'm not a mathematician and I don't know anything about algebra. How awesome is he?]
[Well, if you don't study mathematics, then you should know about Science magazine, right? At the end of last year, "Science" announced the top ten important results of Scientific Community in 2020. Scholar Xiao's etale algebraic variety automorphism and Elliott-Halberstam conjecture were among them, ranking 9th.]
[Holy shit, Scholar Xiao's results were really selected as one of the top ten important results last year? I saw this being said online, and it actually came true!]
[That's not the case? There's still a share this year! Twin Prime Conjecture proves that if you can't be ranked in the top 3 this year, I will eat a ton.]
[Maybe Scholar Xiao will solve some heavyweight problems this year, and then squeeze out his Twin Prime Conjecture?]
[This... is not impossible.]
On the Internet, netizens expressed their shock.
In reality, those units or institutions related to Xiao Yi naturally also rushed to celebrate.
For example, University of Science and Technology of China, after learning that Xiao Yi's report would be successful, he immediately hung red banners at the school gate and various places on campus, which read: [Congratulations to Xiao Yi, a 2020 freshman student of our school, for successfully proving the world-class mathematical problem Twin Prime Conjecture.]
As for these red banners, they had naturally prepared them a long time ago. When Xiao Yi first left school, USTC had already started looking for someone to make these red banners, and now they are finally put to use.
And now this sudden Cole Algebra Prize caught them off guard again, so they quickly contacted people to make a batch [Congratulations to our school's 2020 freshman Xiao Yi for winning the international mathematics award Cole Algebra Prize].
Then these red banners were hung together with the red banners of Twin Prime Conjecture, as if they were going to blind the eyes of all the students in the school.
This is their Scholar Xiao!
As students in the same school as Xiao Yi, they all felt that they were tolerated.
It's just that... every time they hear the teacher asking them to learn from Xiao Yi, they curse in their hearts: How the hell can they learn this?
