From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

"Princeton Institute for Advanced Study and Princeton University want to reach a cooperation with us?"

In the Dingguang Research Institute, when Lin Xiao learned about this, he couldn't help showing surprise on his face.

It's not because these two organizations are so famous that I was surprised to come to them, but I was simply surprised that these two organizations suddenly came to them and wanted to reach a cooperation.

I'm afraid something happened in between?
"Yes, director, they sent a letter of intent just now, asking what we think."

Li Xingqiang, the administrative deputy director of the institute, said with a smile.

As the deputy director of administration, Li Xingqiang is mainly responsible for various administrative affairs of the institute, and he is mainly responsible for cooperation and exchanges with other institutions like this.

Of course, Lin Xiaolai still has to decide on these big things in the end.

Li Xingqiang said with a smile: "I guess, the reason why they suddenly contacted us for this cooperation is mainly because of the paper between Professor Lin and that Professor Witten. Witten stayed in our institute for two months. Time, and then they proved the existence of strings, and they probably want to communicate with us more in the future."

"Uh..." Hearing Li Xingqiang's guess, Lin Xiao was taken aback for a moment, then nodded: "It's not impossible."

However, when Witten asked for his signature that day, he directly persuaded him for nearly two or three hours, and the international roaming fee did not know how much it cost.

Until finally Witten said that if he did not agree, he would not publish this paper. In desperation, he had no choice but to agree.

The signature of this paper is obviously not casually signed, or it is not allowed to sign without the consent of others. After all, this is the right of authorship. There are all benefits and no harm.

This is not to mention top people like Lin Xiao and Witten. It is no joke that a name is worth a thousand dollars. They naturally value the right of authorship more.

That's why Witten had to get Lin Xiao's authorization to add his name.

Otherwise, if a random person writes a paper that is filled with water to the extreme, and then signs a Nobel laureate as the corresponding author, and then sends it to a journal, if this journal reads it, I, Cao Nuo laureate, this academic credit Still need to see?Even if it is irrigation, it still has to sell face, and then such a paper may be published, and it will naturally damage the reputation of this Nobel laureate in the end.

What's more serious, if this paper is still plagiarized, and then the Nobel laureate is the corresponding author, it will be even more unlucky. After all, once it is discovered, even if it is finally proved that it has nothing to do with him through a lawsuit, the damage to his reputation will be the same. It is unavoidable, just like a small bib essay, as long as it is sent out and attracts attention, even if it is rehabilitated later, the loss of reputation will not be changed.

"Well... I basically agree. Of course, this matter also needs to be approved by the above, so I'd better trouble you to make a trip."

Lin Xiao said.

It is naturally a good thing to be able to carry out this kind of large-scale communication between institutions, but after all, there are many important technologies in their Dingguang Research Institute, and although the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study and Princeton University are well-known, they are also foreign countries. However, it is hard to guarantee that the other party will do some dirty tricks in the name of communication, so what should be guarded against should be guarded against, and you can't just agree when you are happy.

"Okay, I'll go ask."

Li Xingqiang nodded, and then left here.

Lin Xiao lowered his head and read a paper.

The title of the thesis is "L-curvature bounds on ricci-curvature-bounded manifolds and their extension based on the Hodge-Lin theorem"

That's right, this thesis is the graduation thesis of Chen Mingkai, Lin Xiao's big student who is about to graduate.

About three months ago, under Lin Xiao's suggestion, Chen Mingkai started a brand new content, and finally, he completed the final content some time ago, and what he sent to Lin Xiao now is the final draft.

"It's well written and has some innovations of its own."

After reading this thesis soon, Lin Xiao can basically confirm that there are no problems with this thesis. For a doctoral thesis, it is obviously at the level.

Of course, it is obviously not enough to just reach the level of the doctoral thesis, the most important thing is to meet his expectations, after all, as he told several of his students at the beginning, his requirements are very high.

As for this paper, his expectation is that it has reached the acceptance threshold of the four top journals in the mathematics world.

"Isn't it a bit too high?" Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows, then shook his head with a smile, "At least it's not enough to accept the one-hour invitation to the International Conference of Mathematicians."

Then he put down the paper and nodded with satisfaction. No matter what, at least his guidance was not in vain. Of course, more of it was Chen Mingkai's own efforts.

Then, he found Chen Mingkai's authoritative signal, and sent a message to this doctoral student who had probably been waiting for a long time: "I have finished reading your thesis and can start the defense." 』

At the same time, in a certain postgraduate dormitory of Peking University.

"Damn, my mentor sent me a message!"

When Chen Mingkai heard the prestige notification from his mobile phone, he immediately jumped in the heart and exclaimed.

And his roommates cast their eyes over one after another.

This is a three-person room, so there are two roommates of Chen Mingkai in the dormitory.

"What did God Lin say? Has it passed?"

"Give me Kangkang, what did God Lin say?"

The two roommates immediately surrounded him and cast very curious glances at Lin Xiao.

They all knew that Chen Mingkai's mentor was Lin Shen, so they were naturally curious about what Lin Shen thought of their roommate's thesis.

"Don't worry, I haven't watched it yet!"

Chen Mingkai waved his hand, his heart was pounding. In fact, he had finished this thesis for a while. When he finished writing the thesis, he felt that he was amazing. Such a powerful thesis had been completed. Lin Shenshao Do you have to praise him a few words?
As a result, Lin Xiao found a lot of mistakes for him backhandedly, so he hurried like this, and finally finished the final draft at this time.

"Look, look, look."

The two roommates both urged, and finally Chen Mingkai calmed down his mood, then began to unlock the phone's lock screen, entered the interface, and finally entered Weixin carefully.

Finally, Lin Xiao's reply appeared in front of him, and when he saw "You can participate in the defense", he immediately jumped up from his seat.

"I'm Cao! I'm Cao, I'm Cao! It's finally done!"

Doctoral thesis, after that, he will be a real doctor!
This feeling is more refreshing than double-yolk eggs in a card game.

His two roommates also said with half envy and half congratulations: "I'm afraid you have to treat this wave."

"It's awesome, my Kai, "Annual Journal of Mathematics"! What the hell, seeing you pass is more uncomfortable than my Yanbi?"

"Please, please, please!" Chen Mingkai said with a smile, and made an OK gesture at the same time.

But at this time, his cell phone rang again, and it was from Lin Xiao.

"The level of this thesis is high enough, and it can be ranked among the top among all doctoral theses. After the defense, you can send it to any journal you want, and your overall performance in the thesis writing process also Yes, there is basically no problem with this aspect, so you can prepare for your defense in a week.

In addition, after the defense, you can come to me to talk about your affairs after graduation. As I said before, as long as you can complete this thesis, you can join the Dingguang Research Institute, as long as you want, then, I won’t say anything else, the future Dr. Chen Mingkai』

Seeing these comments from his instructor, Chen Mingkai's face became even happier.

"I, Cao, read what my mentor said!"

When the two roommates saw it, they immediately became even more envious. This kind of praise, this feeling is too refreshing, right?

For students like them, there is nothing better than being praised by their mentor, especially when the mentor is Lin Shen.

And Lin Xiao later promised Chen Mingkai that he could join the Dingguang Research Institute, which made them even more sour.

The Dingguang Research Institute is famous among these doctoral students. Who doesn't know that joining the Dingguang Research Institute will save 40 years of detours in the future?
Isn't this more exciting than being a security guard?

"Damn, this kid is so arrogant, beat him up!"

Seeing Chen Mingkai's overjoyed look, a roommate immediately said to the other roommate, and then the two nodded and went up to beat Chen Mingkai.

Of course, they were just joking, until finally, they stopped, and Chen Mingkai opened his thesis and began to appreciate his masterpiece.

What he likes most is doing this kind of thing, remembering his achievements.

Looking at the smooth proof process in the paper, this is mathematics!

Of course, in the process of watching, he once again felt admiration for his mentor.

Recalling that at the beginning, under Lin Xiao's suggestion, he started to promote his thesis on the Huoqilin...Hodge-Lin theorem, and if it was just a simple promotion, it was not worth mentioning, but in Under the guidance of Lin Xiao, this promotion has brought extremely important results for the connection between the Hodge-Lin theorem and another Poincaré-Perelman theorem.

It is such an achievement that has raised the actual value of this paper by many levels. After all, the Hodge-Lin theorem is the original Hodge conjecture, and the Poincaré-Perelman theorem is the original Poincaré conjecture. Lai guessed.

Finding the important connection between two world-class conjectures and their theorems, such an achievement, is of course of great value.

And such value was discovered by Lin Xiao before his thesis was completed.

"Fortunately, he is my mentor."

Chen Mingkai showed an extremely lucky expression.
