From failed candidate to chief scientist

Chapter 101 Chen Shengshen Award
Awards continue.

Immediately following the Nevanlinna Prize is the Gauss Prize.

The Gauss Prize was established in memory of the prince of mathematics, Carl Friedrich Gauss.

The Gauss Prize was established in 2006. Before this conference, it had been awarded four times in total. Each winner has made outstanding contributions in the field of applied mathematics.

"The winner of the Gauss Prize is Eliot Lieb."

"Eliott Lieb made significant contributions to quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics, and laid the foundations of quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics... He made extremely outstanding contributions in both mathematics and physics."

Following the host's announcement, an old man with gray hair slowly walked onto the stage. He looked old but energetic, with a faint smile on his face.

"Thank you to the organizing committee. Although I have won many awards, this award is the most special because it happened to be awarded on my 90th birthday. This is a special birthday gift for me."

Eliot Lieb, who was born in 1932, was very humorous. Although he has experienced nearly a century, he still maintains an optimistic and healthy heart.

Lin Mo looked at Elliott Lieb, and his image instantly overlapped with the image of a scientist who was dedicated to scientific research and humorous in Lin Mo's mind.

"The next thing to be awarded is the Chen Shengshen Award."

"The main event is here."

As the host on the stage finished speaking, Jiang Fanjun said something to Lin Mo.

"Didn't you just ask about the highest achievement award in mathematics? This is it."

"The Chern Award?"

Lin Mo showed a puzzled expression.

"But didn't you just say that the Chern Prize is awarded to domestic mathematicians under the age of 50?"

"Haha, it's called the Ch'en Ch'en Mathematics Prize in China, and it's not the same thing as the Ch’en Ch'en Prize in Mathematics that we need to find a way to do now."

"The Chen Shengshen Award issued by the Congress of Mathematicians is the highest award in the field of international mathematics. It has no age limit and is a lifetime achievement award. Since its establishment in 2009, it has been awarded a total of 3 times. This is the fourth time. Every winner They are all world-class mathematicians."

Lin Mo thought for a while, and according to the system, these mathematicians who won the Chen Shengshen Prize should be considered by the system to be the so-called palace-level mathematicians, the kind who can lead the academic world.

Lin Mo suddenly became energetic and asked Jiang Fanjun about his previous awards.

The first Chern Prize in 2010 was awarded to Louis Nirenberg, one of the world's most cited and productive mathematicians, who transformed the field of partial differential equations with his ability to manipulate inequalities that govern the properties of unknown functions. And famous.His papers catalyzed a wealth of research from general relativity to biology.

Listening to Jiang Fanjun's introduction, Lin Mo couldn't help but feel moved. He wanted to discuss it with this top mathematician, which might allow him to make a major breakthrough in the study of NS equations.

"Louis Nirenberg has passed away..."

"what?"

Lin Mo was quite regretful.

The second person to receive the Shiing-shen Chern Award is Philip Griffithsertz, who has made outstanding contributions in geometry and algebraic geometry. He also proposed the change theory of Hodge structure, which is in algebraic geometry and its modern theory Many aspects of applications in physics play a central role.

Lin Mo said that I knew this because he had seen the geometry and algebraic geometry textbooks compiled by Philip Griffiths in the library.

As for the third winner, Masaki Kashiwahara, he established the D-module theory, which is considered to be a bridge between different fields of mathematics; it is a widely used mathematical tool; it has opened up a new world of mathematics. Mathematicians have a new direction of exploration.He used his D-module theory to prove the Riemann-Hilbert transformation.

Lin Mo was thoughtful, feeling as if he had caught something, but it disappeared in a flash.

"Barry Mazur won the Shiingshen Award!" The voice on the stage interrupted Lin Mo's thinking.

"Barry Mazur established the geometry of diphenylamine, proved the generalized Schoenflies conjecture, proposed Mazur's conjecture, Mazur's control theorem, Mazur's torsion theorem, and made contributions in mathematical fields such as arithmetic geometry, geometric topology, and number theory. Outstanding contribution.”

Then another old man came onto the stage. Barry Mazur, who was born in 1938, is now 84 years old, but he is still in good health and does not look like he is in his 80s at all.

Lin Mo looked at Barry Mazur on the stage receiving the award, and finally saw a true palace-level mathematician.

With the end of Barry Mazur's acceptance speech, the opening ceremony of the World Congress of Mathematicians has come to an end.

The mathematicians present gathered together in twos and threes, discussing and chatting, and left in an orderly manner.

Lin Mo had the intention to go up and chat with the mathematicians who had just won the prize and learn from them, but seeing the winners surrounded by everyone and the previous experience of hitting a wall, Lin Mo gave up the idea.

"Oh, dear Zhang, and Lin, I'm really sorry, I was really busy and couldn't take the time to greet you..."

At this moment, Madsen ran over at a trot.

"Who is this?"

Jiang Fanjun didn't know Madsen, so he looked at Lin Mo with some surprise and asked.

"Professor Jiang, this is Al Madsen, the editor-in-chief of Acta Mathematica."

"Madsen, this is Jiang Fanjun, a professor at Shuimu University."

Lin Mo introduced the two of them.

Jiang Fanjun couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and then he realized that Lin Mo wasn't bragging before. He was really telling the truth. He was really invited by the Journal of Mathematics to give a report.

Jiang Fanjun couldn't help but look at Lin Mo and Zhang Qihua again.

Looking at Madsen in front of him, Lin Mo's heart suddenly moved.

"Madsen, I would like to get to know the previous winners. I wonder if it's inconvenient for you to introduce them to me?"

If you rush to find those winners, you will inevitably be hit by a wall, but with Madsen as the middleman, I believe that the other party will give Madsen some face.

There is no way, who made me have no fame and no hope now?
The reason why Lin Mo wanted to get to know those winners was simply to learn from them and learn from them. He definitely did not want to pick up some bubbles or get some inspiration from them in the future.

"No problem at all!"

After hearing Lin Mo's request, Madsen naturally agreed.

"Come on, Zhang and Lin, I will take you there and introduce you."

Lin Mo and Zhang Qihua followed immediately.

Jiang Fanjun thought for a while, not wanting to miss such an opportunity, and immediately followed him.

This made a group of people from Yanjing Normal University who had been standing by and heard the conversation between several people look envious. If it weren't for Li Fuqing's displeased expression, they would have wanted to follow him.

"let's go!"

Li Fuqing snorted coldly and took the lead to walk out of the venue.
