Chapter 158 Thesis

Chapter 158 Ten Papers
Almost when the father and son of the Xing family took them away, there were exactly ten more mathematics papers signed by Ningjie on the world papers preprint website arxiv.org.

Seven of them are naturally Ning Zi's pre-research papers on NP problems, and the other three are specially selected by Ning Zi, each of which has its own uses, such as facilitating his poaching. On the printed website, it can be regarded as saying hello to everyone first.

In fact, generally speaking, if a student publishes a paper, it is best not to publish the paper on arxiv.org before understanding the requirements of journals and conferences.Because this may cause the paper to be rejected by some well-known conferences or journals.

But it's not a big problem for Ning Zi.

It is very difficult for any journal to reject the submission of a Fields Medal winner in mathematics, even if the article has been pre-published.Well-known mathematicians do enjoy certain privileges, after all.Of course, it doesn't matter to Ning Zi even if she is really rejected.

Anyway, the purpose of his publication of these papers is for the smooth publication of subsequent mathematical theories.

Given his current status in the world of mathematics, he doesn't really need to publish articles in so-called top journals to prove himself.

Of course, in order to gain recognition in the mathematics community as soon as possible, he asked March to directly send the seven articles that will be used in the near future to the "Annual of Mathematics" at once.With peer review, it can be accepted by the academic community faster.

As for whether this kind of operation will bring any trouble to colleagues and journal editors, it is not in Ning Zi's consideration.He felt that what Lu Xiaoya said was right, you can be a little more reckless, and you don't need to care too much about other people's thoughts.

So what if he thought he was cheating?
He just cheated, why not!

……

United States, Massachusetts, Boston metropolitan area, Cambridge.

It is famous for the world-renowned Harvard University, and Dominique Duncan once became a tenured professor of Harvard University here.But many people don't quite know that the Clay Institute of Mathematics, which proposed the seven mathematical problems of the millennium, is actually here.

Of course, if we really want to talk about the Clay Mathematics Institute, the businessman Clay and the great mathematician Arthur Jeff who taught at Harvard University co-founded it. Of course, Clay mainly paid for it.

Eric Caddy had just walked into his small office at the institute.During this period of time, he was researching his own subject at the Cray Institute, but in fact he worked at the Poincaré Institute most of the time.

He was able to have the opportunity to choose the environment he likes, and it has to start from a few years ago.

A hermit-level mathematician in Russia solved the Poincaré conjecture back then, and logically he should have received the $100 million prize promised by the Clay Institute of Mathematics.However, this mathematician was too individualistic and directly refused to accept the award, nor did he want a bonus.It's just that as a world-renowned institution dedicated to the dissemination of mathematics, it is of course embarrassing to take back the money that should have been spent.

So the Clay Institute simply contacted the Poincaré Institute to discuss using the $100 million that was supposed to be awarded to a Russian mathematician but was rejected to sponsor a rising star in mathematics. The money will be used to support his mathematical research .

It's just that this lucky person needs to be selected layer by layer, and Eric Caddy finally became such a lucky person after defeating many competitors.Standard surprise.

As a mature mathematician, Eric Caddy naturally has his own research rhythm.

In fact, for many mathematicians, they will pay attention to arxiv.The same goes for Eric Caddy.

Although it is said that arxiv can be uploaded by humans and dogs, and the papers also have flaws, but if you only focus on your own research direction, you will occasionally find gold.

The most important thing is that it is updated frequently, almost every day, and like official journals, it also supports subscriptions.Anyway, it doesn't take a few minutes to take a look at it every day, but there may be surprises.

Eric Caddy's favorite is still the function area of ​​arxiv, because it is really convenient.Although it provides free indexing, it is even more intimate than many formal journals.

For example, its built-in bibliography browser, after opening, can display the references of the current article and the literature citing the current article according to certain sorting rules and filtering rules, and sort them directly according to the influence, which can help scholars quickly pay attention to the current field excellent papers.

When he turned on the computer today, he saw a reminder in the mailbox.According to the email reminder, there were two updated papers in the field of mathematics that he was concerned about. To his surprise and surprise, one of them came from Ning Zi of Huaxia Yanbei University of Physical Education.

It was indeed quite a surprise.

Generally speaking, when an academic master like Ning Zi publishes a paper, he will give some lectures in advance to talk about some of his recent research directions and what achievements he has made.This can probably be understood as a process of building momentum.

In short, generally speaking, the paper has not been published yet, and everyone basically knows in which field these academic masters will bring some surprises to the mathematics community.And generally speaking, if you don't grasp these academic masters, you won't talk about your achievements everywhere.

So Ning Zi's paper seemed somewhat sudden.

But it doesn’t matter if it’s sudden or not, it’s definitely a great joy in life to have this kind of freshly released articles to read every morning.

While waiting for the download, Eric Kaidi searched for Ning Zi's name through arxiv's site index function.He had never seen Ning Zi publish an article on the preprint website before, and wanted to see if there were any surprises.

Sure enough, there was a surprise, and it was hard to say whether it was a surprise or a shock.

This guy actually posted ten papers on arxiv?

You must know that after Ning Zi's NS equation paper was published in the "Annual Journal of Mathematics", Eric Caddy searched for Ning Zi's name on arxiv, but at that time there was not even a paper by Ning Zi on arxiv.

It has been less than a year since that paper was published, and it makes people crazy to think that there are so many papers by Ning Zi at once.

After all, who will post papers on arxiv?
There is no need for review, and there are no reviewers. It is completely meaningless to release it for others to see.

Especially for a mathematician like Ning Zi who has received a lot of attention, if the paper itself is not rigorous and has major problems, it will also affect its reputation.

However, when Eric Kaidi entered the article page and checked the upload time of these articles, he fell into doubts about the authenticity of this world.

Good guy, all ten papers were published not long ago, and the interval between each publication is about ten minutes, of course, this is also normal.After all, uploading papers on arxiv is not as troublesome as submitting papers to SCI, but there are still necessary operations.Uploading an article in ten minutes is already extremely efficient.

But no matter how high the efficiency of uploading is, it is not as efficient as this water paper.

Eric Caddy took a look and found that these ten articles belonged to six different fields.Three of them are related to each other. According to the analysis of the cited content on the function page, they are basically quoted from their own papers.

This discovery did not make Eric Caddy happy. On the contrary, he began to seriously doubt the quality of the paper he had just downloaded.

Let's put it this way, Eric Caddy felt that even if Newton dared to publish ten papers in a year in their time, it was nothing to do.Not to mention that these papers belong to different research directions.

For mathematicians, more than a month is not even enough to switch their thinking from the original research direction to a new research field.After all, mathematics is a very broad concept in this era.Number theory, algebraic geometry, K-theory, discrete mathematics that specialize in the study of numbers...the content of the research is actually not the same.

There are a lot of papers in a short period of time, and the quality is naturally hard to believe.

Fortunately, the thesis had been downloaded at this time. Anyway, Eric Caddy decided to start researching the thesis, and then found that he was still superficial.How to say this paper, probably he put forward a conjecture, and then proved the mathematical conjecture himself.

In mathematical language, this mathematical conjecture is that if there is an F: MX [0, T) → N, where N is an n-dimensional manifold, M is a manifold with a certain dimension less than n, and F satisfies the equation F/t=-H→, then this MCF must have a way to naturally flow through the singularity defined by it.

This expression is very abstract, and it also involves various geometries that have entropy problems in Euclidean geometry.But it is very useful for Eric Caddy, whose research direction is the relationship between the differential structure of four-dimensional manifolds and the bilinear form of four-dimensional manifolds.

This is precisely the case with regard to mean curvature flow.

This is an extremely cutting-edge mathematical research direction. Now mainstream mathematicians are not sure what the situation of the codimension greater than 1 in the above equation is, let alone how to make MCF flow through these singularities?Because these singularities are entropy-stable and cannot disappear through disturbances, it is still a mystery whether these singularities can be passed through in terms of geometry and topology, and if they can pass through these singularities, it means nothing.

Ning Zi's paper seems to directly address this issue.

Eric Caddy doesn’t know the gold content of the other nine papers, but he knows very well that if this paper Ning Zi really solves this problem, it will help many people who are researching in this direction, for example, he is the beneficiary one.

Just as he was about to read the paper in depth, the phone rang.

"Hey Eric, I'd like to invite you to be a reviewer for a new paper, are you interested?"

"Eh? To be honest, Robert, I really don't have any interest right now."

"No, no, Eric, don't rush to refuse. The author of this paper is Ning Zi. Although you may not have dinner with him at the Mathematicians Conference, I think you must know what the name stands for .”

After hearing this, Eric Caddy was stunned for a moment, and then said speechlessly: "Robert, in fact, I just downloaded a paper by Ning Zi on arxiv, and I am currently reading it. I doubt that you invited me to review it." is the same paper as the one I'm looking at."

"Oh? Have you downloaded it? Needless to say, I also read the paper he just posted on arxiv. In fact, this paper is probably the one that arouses your interest."

Eric Caddy sighed: "Then what else can I say? Of course I am happy to accept this invitation, but I feel a lot of pressure. So did he submit all those papers to the Annals of Mathematics?"

"No, no, only seven papers have been submitted to us for the time being."

After hearing this, Eric Caddy remained silent for a while, and then asked quietly: "Only seven papers? To be honest, Mr. Robert, your wording suddenly made me feel very frustrated. I am very concerned about the other papers. Not sure, but I just read the review of this paper, and if his argument is correct, then I can probably understand Dominion Duncan's mood when he spoke at the Congress of Mathematicians."

"Who says it isn't? Eric, but in this world, there are always some people whose existence seems to be a mistake, which is very unreasonable. Scholars who are in the same era as them are unfortunate, because maybe they could have Everything about this person will be covered by the brilliance of this kind of person, and everyone will become obsessed. But at the same time, it is also lucky, because maybe the problems that were impossible to get results in their lifetime will end in their hands. It depends on what you think .”

After hearing these words, Eric Caddy felt relieved after all, and said, "Okay, Mr. Robert, you can send the invitation link, and I will accept the invitation. By the way, you choose Is it because Ning Zi chose me as his reviewer when he submitted his paper?"

"Uh... Actually, he didn't appoint any reviewers. But Eric, I don't think you need to be offended at all. Considering his age and his seldom communicating with the outside world, it is conceivable that he may know people in the mathematics world." There weren't many people, so... well, in fact, none of the papers he submitted had assigned the expected reviewer."

I have to say that the words of the editor-in-chief of the "Annual of Mathematics" made Eric Caddy feel a lot better.

This is probably the demeanor of a great mathematician, maybe Ning Zi never thought of appointing a reviewer at all, right?Or he doesn't care who is researching these things at all, because his hobbies are so wide, maybe it's too late to care who is researching these things, so he just changed his direction.

"Thank you for your clarification. If you can, you can send him a message for me and tell Ning Zi that I am very honored to be the reviewer of his paper. Of course, if he makes any mistakes, I will definitely find him. from."

"Of course! Good luck."

"Thank you."

After hanging up the phone, it didn't take long for Eric Kaidi to receive an invitation link from the editor-in-chief of "Annual Mathematics". After he readily agreed, he started this wonderful journey of reviewing manuscripts.

……

After all, the winner of the Fields Medal in Mathematics has a reputation.

Even now that more and more journals are beginning to use double-blind review, contributors will be asked not to post their papers on the pre-release website in advance, but even if these famous mathematicians do so, they will still choose to compromise.

And began to look for suitable reviewers for Ning Zi's many papers.

This is indeed a very novel experience, because the workload of reviewers for seven papers at a time is actually very large.

Not to mention that these papers were all published by the same person. In fact, for the Annals of Mathematics, it is not often that seven papers are reviewed on the same day.After all, 90.00% of manuscripts are directly eliminated by editors during the first review.

Generally, four to six reviewers will be found for papers. Even with the minimum number of reviewers, nearly thirty mathematicians will be contacted for seven articles.

Ning Zi uploaded ten papers on arxiv at one time, and submitted seven of them to the "Annual Journal of Mathematics". The news spread quickly in the process.

Fortunately, it is still easy to find reviewers for papers by Fields Medal winners.

In fact, none of the mathematicians contacted for the first time chose to refuse, but not everyone has the habit of logging in to the arxiv website every day like Eric Caddy, so after getting the news, they will naturally log in to arxiv subconsciously to see Look at the demeanor of the water god in this paper.

Yes, after hearing that Ning Zi submitted seven papers to the "Annual of Mathematics" at a time, many people have subconsciously given the nickname of Water God to Ning Zi.Regardless of the quality of these papers, but based on this quantity alone, the word "Shui Shen" will definitely not be wrong.

Of course, other people's water papers are generally published in small journals, which belong to water monsters.

Those who dare to challenge the top of the water can naturally be called gods.

But after many mathematicians probably read the review of the paper, the response was different.

Because after reading it, everyone feels that these papers really cannot be described in water, because they are all problems that have not yet been solved in the mathematics community.

Basically, if you solve one of them, you are eligible to win a mathematics award... After all, the mathematics awards in this world are not only the Fields Award, the Abel Award and the Wolf Award, but also such as the Danzik Award, The Bergman Prize, the Polya Prize, the Cole Prize, the Craford Prize, the Gauss Prize and more…

It's nothing more than that these awards are not as well-known as several international awards, but it's just as difficult to get them.

Of course, if the seven papers are all right and all these problems are solved, then it is not a matter of winning several awards. After all, contributions to the mathematics world can be accumulated, just like quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes.

At the same time, these papers also have a great impetus to some cutting-edge mathematical research directions.

Of course the confusion is the same...

With so many results published in one day, for the entire mathematics community, it is definitely like a magnitude [-] earthquake.

Don't play like this?
After all, some of these problems are problems that many mathematicians are studying, and now, someone will help them solve them all at once.

Yes, when most serious mathematicians see that row of papers, they probably feel as if countless grass and mud horses whizzed past their minds, so that they begin to doubt the authenticity of this world.

Mathematicians can be efficient, but how can they be so efficient?
That Ning Zi, is he crazy? !
Yes, he must be crazy, right?
……

Xu Shuqing also thought that Ning Zi was crazy.

Of course his arguments are not the same as those of mathematicians.

After all, who would pay back tens of billions to fight against others?
Especially when he received a call from the school at the hotel and learned that Xing Jianxin and his son had been taken away for investigation, he was even more sure of this.

Crazy, totally crazy!
Originally, he thought that kicking Xing Jianxin out of Shuangdan at noon was more or less a bonus item. Who dared to think that it was not enough, because he was unwilling to completely push Xing Jianxin to death.

This also directly led to more problems for him to consider.

If there are not enough bargaining chips, how can the two sides understand each other?

Just when his mind was as big as two, suddenly the phone rang again.

When Xu Shuqing saw the number, he had some bad feelings in his heart.

Because this call was made by Li Kecheng, the chief professor of the Pearl Mathematics Center of Shuangdan University, and he was one of the few academician professors who made him feel relieved this morning.

This Professor Li is the only academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences among those professors who have received the invitation letter from the Ningyuan University of Sports University to directly express to him that they will stay in Shuangdan.

It's just that it's nothing serious. Academician Li shouldn't have called him again at this time.

But no matter how he felt, Xu Shuqing could only connect the phone immediately, and made his voice full and enthusiastic: "Hey, Academician Li, are you still up so late?"

"Hey, I can't sleep, Principal Xu. I just have something to tell you. Well, I changed my mind. I still want to go to the University of Physical Education."

"No, Academician Li, what's the matter? Didn't you help me persuade everyone this morning? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

"Well, Principal Xu, you also know that I have been studying the research of high-dimensional nonlinear conservation law equations and shock waves for these years. Just now, Ning Zi uploaded a paper, which happens to be suitable for my research. I plan to Go and see..."

"Ah? Ning Zi published another paper? Where was it published?"

"Actually, it's not considered published. He just pre-published ten papers on arxiv. It is said that seven of them have been submitted to the "Annual Journal of Mathematics". Of course, these are not important. It is mainly one of his articles. I browsed through it, how should I put it...It is indeed very insightful, many arguments are thought-provoking, thought-provoking...So, hey, of course I will hand over the work here at Shuangdan..."

"These... ten papers? Well, Academician Li, well, even if Ning Zi has research in these directions, can we invite him to give lectures in the name of academic exchanges? It doesn't have to be..."

"Actually, I thought so too, but let's not talk about Ning Zi's character. As for the relationship between the two schools, do you think he can really be invited to Mingzhu? Or maybe he will invite us when he holds a lecture in the capital. Is it? Hey... Young people nowadays are not very easy to deal with. Anyway, I just want to inform you first that it was really an accident. I'm really sorry, Principal Xu."

After speaking, this Professor Li hung up the phone without waiting for Xu Shuqing to reply.

Probably really embarrassed to say more on the phone, Xu Shuqing actually has nothing to say, and now all these words are tears.

I knew it would develop into such a situation. Yesterday Ning Zi proposed to kick Xing Jianxin out of Shuangdan. He should have agreed immediately without hesitation, but who would have thought that it would develop like this in less than a day?

Also, what the hell are ten math papers?

 There is an epidemic nearby, and there are many people queuing up to do nucleic acid... It takes too much time and the update is late, sorry
