The symposium was scheduled to begin at ten in the morning, and at Xiao Yi's request, it would likely last at least four hours. After all, with Elliptic Inverse Analytic Continuation included, the paper ran to over four hundred pages. Whether he could finish explaining it all in four hours was still uncertain.
Therefore, roughly two hours would be set aside at noon for everyone present to rest. The hotel next door had also prepared to host the mathematicians attending, all of which had been specially arranged by the Fei City government for this symposium. Just like when Xiao Yi had held his NS equation proof symposium, the Fei City government had specifically organized a mathematical exchange conference and prepared several days of banquets for the mathematicians who attended Xiao Yi's presentation.
They had even uncovered some talent back then and kept them in the country. Several of them had already settled in China.
This time, perhaps they would have another chance to retain a few talented people.
It was already nine-thirty, and the auditorium was packed.
These seats had to be reserved. Before reservations opened, invitations were sent to renowned mathematicians. Any mathematician who accepted an invitation would be seated in the front, allowing them to hear Xiao Yi's explanation from closer up and making it more convenient to ask questions afterward.
Only after those renowned mathematicians had confirmed their invitations were the remaining seats opened to other mathematicians.
"We've come back here again."
Sitting in the front row, Terence Tao sighed sentimentally.
Beside him, Shing-Tung Yau smiled. "It even seems like we were sitting here last time too."
"It was exactly here." Feierman nodded. "I remember."
"That's nice, then. We're revisiting an old place." Terence Tao said, "I think that if these conference halls had minds of
