"He succeeded again."
Deligne stood up, applauded, looked at Xiao Yi who was greeting the audience on the stage, and sighed.
At this time, he had recovered from his previous loss of consciousness.
Although this new method can help him achieve a purer proof of Weil conjecture, after all, his teacher has passed away, and he himself. He is also a retired old man.
Those original obsessions have gradually become blurred as time goes by.
So, it's better to immerse yourself in this Carnival of Mathematics and Physics moment now.
Bombieri also smiled and nodded, looked at Xiao Yi on the stage, and said, "Back then, Grothendieck was probably about the same as him, right?"
"My teacher..."
Deligne smiled, "When he was eighteen years old, he was still a young man living in Montpellier and unwilling to take math classes."
Bombieri suddenly laughed.
Having said that, Grothendieck really didn't like taking math classes at the beginning. That was just because he was just self-study and reconstructed a very general form of Lebesgue integration without anyone's guidance. At that time, France was in the period of post-war reconstruction, and its education could not keep up. Therefore, for Grothendieck, there was no need to take such math classes.
So much so that he naively thought that he was the only mathematician in the world. This situation changed only after he went to Paris.
However, Bombieri did not refute it. After all, in his opinion, Xiao Yi was not like Grothendieck, but that the two people might be the same type of person.
In this information age, learning is very easy. If Grothendieck was in this era and did not work behind closed doors like back then, God knows how many great achievements these peerless geniuses could have made?
At this time, beside them, Edward Witten put down his scratch paper and pen, stood up, and also gave Xiao Yi applause.
Deligne then smiled and joked, "What? Have you finally finished the research?"
Witten said, "That's not true. There are too many things to study. What can we study in this short time? I am just trying to deduce what he said about Quantum Hodge theory based on the method he said."
"Quantum Hodge theory..." Deligne nodded slightly. "I don't know much about physics. How helpful can this thing be to your physics?"
Witten smiled and said, "Then you really don't know much. This kind of thing can no longer be said to be of great help to our physics, but to say how helpful it is to all fields related to physics."
"This Quantum Hodge theory is a further complement to Topological Quantum Field Theory, or in other words, it allows the original Topological Quantum Field Theory to directly evolve from 1.0 to 2.0. Consider the significance of Quantum Field Theory to today's physics..."
Witten glanced down at the pile of scratch paper he had just used, and finally said, "What I can say is that the effect is immeasurable."
Deligne couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. "Is this so?"
Witten nodded slightly, and then sighed, "However, what I am more concerned about is how much role it can play in string theory."
"This theory should be used to study string theory."
Deligne immediately rolled his eyes and said angrily, "You will make string theory look bad."
"Scholar Xiao is awesome!"
"Wori, I, Brother Xiao, am invincible in the world!"
In the back seats, Ye Cheng and the others were even more excited.
Although they didn't understand anything during the entire report, and they were dozed off most of the time, it didn't stop them from feeling excited when Xiao Yi announced that he had completed the proof.
After all, you are always young and always enthusiastic.
Ye Cheng is now a sixteen-year-old boy. At this time, he can be said to be the most excited among the people around him. He applauds the loudest and shouts from time to time, attracting a lot of attention from the people around him.
He looked so excited, as if he were Xiao Yi.
Hmm... But Xiao Yi on the stage didn't look very excited.
However, for Ye Cheng, although he was admitted to school together with Xiao Yi, he was the youngest one after all. However, Xiao Yi, who was several years older than him, was always able to make all kinds of achievements that were unbelievable to his classmates. Undoubtedly, in the heart of this boy, he had already established a very tall idol.
And compared to his original idol, Terence Tao is even taller.
After all, for him, the idol Terence Tao only exists in his ears and eyes, but Xiao Yi exists by his side, making him feel more real and close.
"Although it is impossible to become a person like Brother Xiao - no one in the world can do it anyway, but... I must work hard to be like Brother Xiao!"
At this time, Ye Cheng was excited, and this belief was ignited in his heart.
Although it feels a bit like being a middle school student, how can any young man not be a middle school student?
Of course, in addition to Ye Cheng, Lu Ping, Chen Muhua and others around them also felt a lot of excitement and shock in their hearts.
The peer who took the exam with them back then is now standing on such a stage, solving problems of the Millennium Prize Problems level.
Compared to other fantasy martial arts novels, one would be surprised to hear: It is like a devil descending from the sky, and he is really a Tai Sui god on earth.
What else can't Xiao Yi do?
They all wanted to ask this question.
But this question will probably never have an answer.
It is better to ask, what problem Xiao Yi wants to study next.
After all, once a problem is targeted by him, it will probably only end up being solved.
The applause finally calmed down. Of course, it was not the audience who wanted to stop. It was just Berezovsky, Chairman of the Organizing Committee, who came onto the stage and persuaded everyone to stop.
"Everyone should take a break. If this continues, you will really not be able to enjoy the banquet we have prepared."
After Berezovsky finally brought up the matter of a banquet, the audience gave Chairman of the Organizing Committee some face and stopped applauding.
Otherwise, there is a high probability that they can continue with this applause.
Seeing that it finally subsided, Berezovsky said helplessly, "I really bother you all not to applaud."
Amid a burst of laughter, he continued, "Well, Mr. Xiao Yi, who worked hard for us in the first place, has brought us such great results."
"This report not only proved the existence of Yang-Mills and the mass gap problem, but the Hodge-vertex algebra analysis method and the Quantum Hodge theory developed from it are very important achievements in mathematics and physics, not to mention that Mr. Xiao Yi also predicted the existence of a new particle in physics, X particle."
"I believe that this report can be regarded as one of the most important reports since International Congress of Mathematicians has been held for so many years." Berezovsky smiled, "Of course, this is to take care of the face of so many other conferences. In fact, in my heart, this 'one' has to be removed."
The audience applauded again, obviously expressing their recognition of Berezovsky's statement.
Fortunately, the applause stopped quickly this time, otherwise it would probably have caused Berezovsky's ptsd.
"However, for any report meeting, it will eventually end. It is already two o'clock in the afternoon. This report meeting lasted for a full 4 hours. I believe everyone is already feeling tired and hungry. We have prepared a sumptuous banquet at Parklane Hotel next door. You are also welcome to move to Parklane Hotel to enjoy this banquet."
"After all, great theories also need time to ferment, and the joint efforts of many Scientific Community scholars have extended the tentacles of the theory to all aspects of Scientific Community. But before that, the most important thing is to fill your stomach."
Everyone present also nodded and expressed their approval.
Xiao Yi, who was still on the stage at this time, also smiled and picked up the microphone and said, "What Mr. Chairman said is correct. I have been talking for so long and I am already hungry."
Everyone laughed again.
"Then please leave the venue in an orderly manner under the guidance of the staff. Of course, don't forget to come back here at 7:30 in the evening to participate in our official opening ceremony."
Berezovsky finally said, and by the way, he made a preview for the opening ceremony in the evening.
Everyone thought so, there will be an opening ceremony tonight.
Now, with the report of Xiao Yi over, the next highlight is the opening ceremony.
Gauss Prize, Chern Prize... and, most importantly, Fields Medal.
Who will win this year's Fields Medal?
With anticipation for the opening ceremony, the more than 7,000 spectators present stopped talking nonsense and began to leave the venue under the guidance of the staff and went to Parklane Hotel next door.
Xiao Yi naturally went together.
He was really hungry after all.
A small cake on the left and a Russian-style steak on the right.
But unfortunately, as today's protagonist, it is impossible for him to enjoy the banquet alone.
After a while he was surrounded by a large number of old acquaintances in mathematics.
All the big guys in this position sent their blessings to him.
Schultz is relatively young, at least not twice as old as Xiao Yi.
He smiled and said, "Congratulations to you. The Hodge-vertex algebra analytical method must be regarded as the best method in mathematics. It is more comprehensive than my original seemingly complete space."
Xiao Yi said modestly, "It just looks like it. In the end, it still depends on the actual application."
Schultz shrugged. "Not to mention, you can use it to solve the quality gap problem."
He raised his wine glass and motioned to Xiao Yi.
"No matter what, congratulations to you for becoming the second certifier of Millennium Prize Problems."
"Thank you." Xiao Yi also smiled and raised his glass, clinking it with Schultz.
After drinking the wine in the glass, Schultz suddenly remembered the topic he and Faltings talked about at the beginning of the report meeting, so he asked, "By the way, I want to ask you a question. Do you think you are now a master of mathematics?"
Hearing this question, Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand with a smile and said, "Of course I don't count, after all, I am still so young, and the master sounds very old."
Looking at Xiao Yi's expression when he denied it, Schultz felt that it was exactly the same as when Faltings denied it before.
You can only see humility in it, not the feeling of "really don't think so."
Schultz couldn't help but glance at Faltings who was right next to him.
Faltings smiled and tilted his head and winked at him.
Schultz couldn't help but shook his head, and then drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp.
Xiao Yi glanced at the two of them doubtfully, what's going on?
But before he had time to think too much, he heard "Brother Xiao" coming from his ears.
Then he saw a bunch of people like Ye Cheng walking towards him in a mighty manner.
He glanced at the steaks placed on the dining table. He had only eaten a few bites and was probably already cold. He shook his head helplessly. He really didn't know how many people would come later.
But turning his head, he also smiled and nodded towards Ye Cheng and the others. Meeting an old friend in a foreign country was a happy thing.
As of now, it is less than half an hour before the end of the report meeting, but the news has already spread all over the world.
The major media outlets that had been paying attention to Xiao Yi's report meeting directly sent out the manuscripts they had written long ago as the results were confirmed.
"The most difficult math problem was solved today, and a 19-year-old boy created a miracle!""
"The Genius from the East Solved the Million-Dollar Bounty Problem: Yang Mills' Existence and Quality Gap Problem!""
"A Carnival of Mathematics and Physics!" New math and new physics!"
"A huge breakthrough in physics!" Quantum Hodge theory and Xindi Prophecy: X particle"
"Shocked!" Xiao Yi actually did this thing on International Congress of Mathematicians..."
With so much news and overwhelming publicity, this major incident that happened at Scientific Community quickly entered the eyes of the general public and immediately attracted widespread attention.
Whether on Twitter, or on international software such as Facebook, INS, etc., discussions about this matter immediately became popular.
Of course, the discussion in China is basically the most heated.
Because in the past few days, the news about the preview of Xiao Yi's seminar has already spread, especially in the Academic Circle family. Everyone, whether they study mathematics or physics, knows this news.
Probably even Academic Circle, who specializes in sow postpartum care, knows about it.
After all, Xiao Yi is from China, so he naturally wants to publicize it. Moreover, this matter not only enhances China's reputation in the mathematics and physics circles, but also enhances its status and image in the entire international academic community.
Therefore, before the report meeting started, a lot of people paid attention to it, and now as soon as the news of the success of the Xiao Yi report meeting came out, it spread all over the place.
And because when Saint Petersburg's report meeting ended, it was just past seven o'clock in China, and the program broadcast by CCTV was Xinwen Lianbo. Although this matter was not enough to be temporarily inserted, in the rolling news below, it was shown for a full ten minutes.
Basically, anyone who follows Xinwen Lianbo will see this scrolling news.
It can be said that this is already a great publicity for this matter.
In the subsequent news column, the news was officially reported.
Of course, CCTV's publicity efforts are no longer comparable to the strength of online communication in today's information age.
When people pick up their mobile phones, they will receive push messages from various software.
For example, [Xiao Yi proved a world-class problem on International Congress of Mathematicians's report] pushed by Douyin, or [Invite you to answer questions" pushed by Zhihu just now At the end of the International Congress of Mathematicians opening report, Xiao Yi completed the discussion on the existence and quality gaps of Yang Mills. Is there anything worthy of our attention about this report?"], and then there are the news pushed by various news software.
Of course, if you click on these major software and open the hot search list, you will find that this news has directly landed at the top of the major hot search lists, and is often several levels behind the second place in terms of popularity, unless the second place is also about this matter.
For example, on Weibo, the first three hot searches are all about this matter.
Netizens across the country are in a state of excitement.
[What the hell? Damn it? Damn it? What did I discover when I clicked on Weibo?]
[ah? ah? ah? Are you kidding me? Didn't I just play a game of Civilization VI, and then the world outside changed drastically? Millennium Prize Problems killed one of them?]
[It's already eight o'clock in the evening. Tell me, when did your Civilization VI start yesterday?]
[Wori, Xinwen Lianbo has been broadcasting this news for ten full minutes. Are you kidding me?]
[Xinwen Lianbo played for ten minutes? Real or fake? Why didn't I know? When I took the public examination, I read Xinwen Lianbo every day.]
[The scrolling news below lasted for ten minutes.]
[What the hell? I didn't notice it!]
[Oh my God, Millennium Prize Problems is worth 1 million US dollars. You can really make money if you study well!]
[Just kidding, what's one million dollars to Scholar Xiao? People can earn up to several million every minute.]
[At first glance, you are a group of people who don't understand mathematics and physics at all. The most important thing about Scholar Xiao's report is the Hodge-vertex algebra analytical method proposed by others. Is it good? And that Quantum Hodge theory, my enthusiastic horse, and Scholar Xiao predicted a new particle! X particle, Gan! How long has it been since physics predicted new particles?]
[What? New particles? Is it the same as the God Particle?]
[I don't understand what you said. They say they are new particles. How can they be the same as God particles? This new particle must not have been discovered yet, and it may involve the unification of the strong and weak interactions!]
[You all have not paid attention to the point. The real point is that at 12 o'clock tonight, the opening ceremony of this International Congress of Mathematicians will be officially held. At that time, Fields Medal will be awarded. Guess who will win the award?]
[Hiss... could it be?]
[Now Scholar Xiao is listed on a foreign website and is considered to be the person most likely to win Fields Medal. The number of voters exceeds 70%. It seems that it is really possible that it is him?!]
[Damn it, I have to watch it tonight!]
[ah? ah? ah? Fields Medal? Damn it!]
Every netizen who saw this news was shocked.
Fields Medal, the most important award in mathematics!
Will it really be awarded to Xiao Yi?
Immediately, International Congress of Mathematicians's opening ceremony tonight attracted the attention of countless Chinese people.
Can Xiao Yi win the award and become the youngest Fields Medal winner ever?
