From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

Chapter 360 Maybe it will be difficult for Lin Xiao?

"Professor Fefferman, you are here too."

"Of course I'm coming, but then again, Mr. Clay, why are you here?"

At the entrance of the Beijing Auditorium, Charles Fefferman, who flew from the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, was communicating with someone.

This person is called Thomas Clay, who is the chairman of the board of directors of the Clay Institute.

The Clay Institute is a private research institution funded by a businessman named Langdon Clay.

And this Thomas Clay is a member of the merchant family.

The Millennium Prize problem was selected by the mathematicians organized by the Clay Institute, and then announced.

The prize of up to US$100 million per question has directly spread the reputation of the Clay Institute, which was only established in 1998.

So money is good.

At this time, Thomas Clay heard Fefferman's question, smiled slightly, and said: "After all, this is a question worth 100 million U.S. dollars. Of course I want to see it. Moreover, last year, this Lin Xiao The Hodge conjecture has been proved, so now I also want to know if he can succeed again."

Fefferman said with a smile: "Then I think you can prepare $200 million."

Thomas Cray laughed: "The second million will have to wait at least a year later, after all, it has to be tested by the academic community for at least a year."

"I came here precisely because Mr. Lin Xiao proved Hodge's conjecture that the one-year period expired."

An important proof like this obviously needs to be tested by the academic community for a period of time before it can be verified.

For example, after Perelman proved the Poincaré conjecture in 2002, it was not until 2010 that the Cray Institute officially held the award ceremony. Of course, the result was that Perelman never came at all.

Fefferman said with a smile: "It seems that you can really award this award."

Thomas Clay also nodded, and said with emotion: "Yes! This award can finally be presented."

In 2010, they held such a grand awards ceremony, but in the end, Perelman, the official, didn't want to come. This can be said to make their Clay Institute feel a little ashamed.

Good guy, the gimmick is so big, but in the end, the Lord doesn't want your award.

Of course, after all, Perelman was the one who rejected even General Fields, so it wasn't that surprising that he rejected their $100 million offer.

But now Lin Xiao is not as "immaterialistic" as Perelman is. He also accepted the Fields Medal back then, so he will definitely want their award.

So this Thomas Clay, is getting ready to host their first Millennium Puzzle Awards ceremony.

It's even ready for a second round.

And as a businessman, Thomas Clay also knows how much attention this matter will bring to them, which will be fed back to their family foundation at that time.

Thinking of this, Thomas Clay didn't wait any longer, and said with a smile: "Okay, Professor Fefferman, let's go in now, we can look forward to Professor Lin Xiao's report, I probably won't understand it, so I have to wait for you to come and tell me the result."

"No problem at all."

Fefferman nodded with a smile, and then entered the auditorium with Thomas Cray.

Along the way, they also met many well-known figures in the academic world, and Fefferman continued to communicate with these people.

"Hey, Wiles, sure enough, you are indispensable in this kind of place."

"Fefferman, what do you mean this kind of place can't do without me?"

"Nothing... um? Faltings, are you here too?"

"You're here too, so naturally I can come too. I'm not too old to walk."

"Hehe, that's good... Oh, Tao, you're here too."

"NS equation, I have studied it a little bit before, of course I want to come and hear how a more talented person solves this problem this time."

"...You call the work that played an important role in overcoming the NS equation just a little bit of research?"

"Well... I just know a little bit!"

"……All right."

Greeting these well-known mathematicians along the way, Fefferman also separated from Thomas Cray, and finally he came to his seat, which is also where the visitors of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton are.

"Feverman, you are finally here."

Seeing Fefferman, these mathematicians and physicists from the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton greeted him one after another.

Fefferman nodded to them one after another, then sat back in his seat, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's wait for that genius and what kind of surprises he will bring us."

The others also nodded one after another, looking at the podium in front of them with anticipation.

Although Lin Xiao is always reducing the space they can study, after all, every time Lin Xiao solves a mathematical problem, it means that all the previous efforts of other people who are also studying this problem have been wasted, but the things he solved Problems always give them a sense of enlightenment, and then these conclusions or the methods used in the process can bring them very important ideas or inspirations, so that they can continue to study other things, and even develop , so this also makes mathematicians love and hate him.

Therefore, they are also looking forward to Lin Xiao being able to bring them something new this time.

In this way, time passed quickly.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the report meeting on the existence and smoothness of the solutions of the Navier-Stokes equation officially began.

The host came to the stage, took control of the stage, and silenced the audience, and then solemnly invited out today's protagonist.

"Tap tap~"

Following the sound of footsteps coming from the backstage of the rostrum, Lin Xiao also walked in front of everyone.

There was warm applause, and everyone present looked at Lin Xiao on the stage.

A well-tailored suit made Lin Xiao look very energetic, and it also made people realize that this genius actually looks like a handsome man, and the thick hair made many bald men in the audience They all gave birth to envy, such a smart person, how can he even have such healthy hair?
"Hello, friends who have come from afar, welcome to Shangjing University—oh, last year, many old friends have already been here, of course, there are some new friends, I also welcome them, all in all, very happy Nice to see you all here.”

At this time, Lin Xiao smiled and said.

Seeing so many people off the court, among them were many people he knew, he couldn't help feeling that although it wasn't at the same time, it was the same auditorium.

He was about to share his knowledge with the world again.

"Then, it's still the old rules. Let's stop talking nonsense and go directly to our topic today."

"A flaky stone is rotated and thrown towards the water surface in a flat manner, and then accompanied by ripples on the water surface, the stone miraculously realizes the gesture of a dragonfly on the water surface."

"So, what happened when the water surface came into contact with this stone? What about the subsequent movement of this fluid?"

"Then at this time, we will use the NS equation for analysis."

With that said, Lin Xiao clicked on the PPT and entered the first page.

And the people below, also because of Lin Xiao's opening remarks, followed him and entered into the thinking of this fluid mechanics problem.

"Now, we assume that this piece of water, or the density of the fluid is ρ, its initial velocity V is 0, and u, v, w are the velocities of the fluid at the point (x, y, z) at time t portion..."

As Lin Xiao started to talk about this issue, everyone present had various thoughts.

【Sij=1/2(ui/xj+uj/xi)...】

The narration began to gradually enter the depths, and some of the people present also began to enter a state of confusion. This kind of people basically belonged to entrepreneurs with relevant interests like Thomas Cray, and they just came to have a look Lin Xiao's proof can be recognized by these top mathematicians.

Of course, due to the screening of these participants, there are still quite a few people who can understand it.

It's just that, after all, only a small number of people can understand this top-level mathematical puzzle game, so in the end, more and more people fell into a daze and couldn't keep up with the rhythm.

In this way, Lin Xiao's narration came to his most critical method to solve this problem, which is his Lin's curvature tensor.

And following his narration, the top mathematicians below who could keep up were once again amazed by this method.

"That's how it feels! Just like the circle sieve method he used to prove Goldbach's conjecture, and the motive cohomology in Hodge's conjecture! Every time he creates a method, it makes people feel the wonderfulness inside. thought of!"

Underneath, Fefferman was incomparably amazed.

And Pompieri smiled and said: "Hehe, I have already seen from his paper that proved that there are infinitely many prime numbers in the Fibonacci sequence. The thinking of the function he built in it can only be true. Genius was done, as was the theory of group transformations he later proposed in the process of solving the distribution of Mersenne primes."

"Group transformation theory, I used it when I was researching a topic recently."

Deligne next to him also smiled.

Others nodded in agreement, and the physicist next to him also expressed the same emotion.

And at this moment, Pompieri suddenly asked Fefferman: "By the way, Charles, you seem to have said before that you have one more question about Lin's proof?"

Fefferman nodded, looked down at the paper in his hand, and said, "Yes, there is a very critical question."

Then, he looked up at Lin Xiao on the stage again: "Maybe, my problem will make Lin Xiao stumped? After all, I have studied for a long time, and I don't know how to solve this problem."

Everyone else suddenly became curious.

Fefferman also studied the problem that has not been solved for a long time?
They couldn't help but look forward to the time when Fefferman asked this question.

So they stopped talking and looked at Lin Xiao quietly on the stage, waiting for his report to end.
