Gift crab special.
I bought it.
Fell into a trough.
At this moment, after reading this email, all Bojielun said was these three thoughts.
Ahem, let's not worry about why he, a Frenchman, has these three sentences in his mind.
But all in all, a situation he had never imagined happened.
A Far Abelian Geometry paper written by a young man who graduated from high school actually directly inspired a Fields Medal winner, Peter Schultz, who is recognized as a mathematical genius.
It can even become the "final spear" that ends the eight-year controversy about the ABC conjecture in the mathematical community!
At the beginning, he wouldn't think about this kind of thing, and he didn't dare to think about it, but now...
He couldn't do it even if he didn't want to.
That high school student from China really did such an incredible thing.
His old friend, Hu Guangde, what kind of genius did he meet?!
The shock in his heart made him unable to recover for a while.
Until a moment later, there was a knock on the office door.
After calming down, Bojielun said, "Please come in."
The door opened and Evans walked in.
At this time, the face of this young man who graduated from École Normale Supérieure's mathematics major was also full of surprise. "Mr. Bojielun, I just received an email from Peter Schultz. He said..."
"He recognized the value of that paper, didn't he?"
Bojielun follows what Evans said.
"Yes... yes." Evans nodded. It seemed that their editor-in-chief also knew the news.
"I really didn't expect that the paper actually did what we originally guessed..."
Evans's face was full of excitement.
Although so many weeks have passed, he still remembers many details of this paper in his mind. After all, this paper has brought him renewed interest in studying Far Abelian Geometry, and now it seems that this paper has not wasted his long-term thoughts and has achieved the results it deserves.
Recall Peter Schultz's evaluation of this paper in his email.
[Very amazing mathematical ideas and analysis methods].
Such a high evaluation, and it comes from Peter Schultz!
Even though he is not the one making the comments, Evans seems to be able to take part in it and feel the sincere excitement.
Bojielun next to him could see Evans's excitement at a glance, but he had nothing to say about it, after all, he felt the same way.
He took a deep breath, then waved his hands and said, "Okay, now that Schultz has approved this paper, let's start the next process."
"Send a notice to the Chinese high school student named Xiao Yi."
"In addition, after he pays the page fee and signs the contract, we will publish the paper in the article column of the official website as soon as possible and make the link available online as soon as possible. This is what Schultz asked us to do."
"Yes!"
Evans nodded immediately, not unfamiliar with this matter.
Because they attach great importance to the quality of submitted papers, this also leads to the fact that their journals can publish very few articles every year. Therefore, their journals are not like other journals, which publish once a month or even once a week. They publish every six months, in June and December.
Of course, such a time is obviously a long time, so in order to facilitate the author's paper to be read and studied by peers as soon as possible, they often make the paper public on the official website in advance. In addition to paper journals that are regularly printed in June and December every year, electronic journals can be found directly on their official website.
Afterwards, Evans left the office and returned to his seat.
Open your mailbox and start compiling an email reply to Xiao Yi.
There is no template applied. For such a paper, it is obviously more sincere to write it personally.
[Dear Mr. Xiao Yi, Hello, I am Evans, editor of "Publications mathématiques de l'IHS". First of all, I would like to thank you again for your submission. Congratulations! After review by the experts we contacted, your paper has been confirmed to be correct and error-free, and the quality has met our requirements for published papers.
This is something to be congratulated on, especially since you are only a seventeen-year-old high school student - of course, according to your personal information, you will soon be studying for undergraduate studies, but in any case, you have also made the history of our Publications mathématiques de l'IHS, and maybe even the history of the mathematics community. There is no doubt that you are a gifted mathematical scholar, and IHES is happy to continue to cooperate with you.
Next, please click on the link below. In this link, you need to pay the page fee, and then you can enter into the paper copyright transfer agreement. At that time, we will arrange for you to publish it online as soon as possible, and the specific paper journal will be printed and mailed to you free of charge in December this year.]
After editing and checking it over, Evans remembered one thing that Schultz emphasized in the email, and then continued editing later.
[In addition, I would also like to tell you that your reviewer is Peter Schultz. He asked me to give you a suggestion. He hopes that you can publish your paper on a preprint website like arxiv in advance, because he intends to use your paper to do something big. Unfortunately, since your paper has not been published yet, he can only wait until we make your paper public before he can officially cite it.
Therefore, after you complete the contract signing, we will publish your paper in our online journal as soon as possible.]
When finished, click Send.
"This email is..."
The homes of Fei City and Xiao Yi in Huaguo.
It was already past 11 o'clock in the evening. After finishing a day's study and briefly tidying up the various draft papers on the desk, Xiao Yi saw a notification on his phone that he had received a new email.
After opening it, he was stunned.
Although the email is entirely in English, his English skills are not bad at all and he basically doesn't have much difficulty reading it.
"Did my paper pass the review?"
Then he looked back again.
"Peter...Schultz? Isn't this the Fields Medal winner?"
Thinking of this, his eyes immediately widened.
Afterwards, he took a screenshot of the email and sent it directly to Liu Bin's WeChat account.
Although I don't know if Liu Bin has rested, but he is resting now and can be seen first thing tomorrow morning.
After sending it, I sent a text message to Liu Bin to further inform him of the incident.
However, Liu Bin has not rested at this time. After all, today is the joint entrance examination for the math class, and he is also responsible for the correction work, so he has only returned home to rest now.
Before going to bed, he took out his mobile phone and planned to watch short videos to relax.
However, I suddenly saw a message from Xiao Yi.
His eyes widened and he clicked in to take a look.
"Holy shit!"
