When I am reborn, I just want to be a top student

Chapter 167 Mathematics Grand Slam winner, new mission
  Pierre Deligne.

In January this year, the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters announced that Pierre Deligne had won the Abel Prize in Mathematics.

The reason given was to honor his pioneering contributions to algebraic geometry and his transformative impact on number theory, representation theory and related fields.

Looking around the world, there are only 13 mathematicians who have won both the Wolf Prize and the Fields Medal in Mathematics. However, on this basis, there are only two mathematicians who have also won the Crayford Prize. One is Qiu Chengtong. , one is Deligne.

This year, Deligne also collected all the three major awards in mathematics.

With such achievements, one can fully imagine Deligne’s academic status in the global mathematics community.

Deligne lived up to these honors. His most famous achievement was his brilliant solution to the last conjecture in Weil's series of conjectures.
  This conjecture is the most profound of Weiltz's conjectures, that is, the correspondence of the 'Riemann Hypothesis' to the situation of algebraic varieties in finite fields.

According to Weil's vision, in order to prove these conjectures, algebraic topology methods need to be used. Grothendieck, the mathematical emperor in the middle and late last century, and his school of thought created the cohomology theory, which also became the basis for Deligne's verification of Weil. The main tool used in guesswork.

Moreover, in a series of papers by Deligne, he extended the classical Hodge theory to non-compact families of singular algebras, proving that the cohomology of non-compact families of singular algebras has a mixed Hodge structure.

It can be said that Deligne's position in today's mathematics community is definitely a leader in the first echelon.

Therefore, after Deligne's repeated invitations, Wang Donglai made Princeton his first stop.

"Tuk-tuk!"

Standing at the door, Wang Dong knocked on the door.

"Come in!"

A powerful voice came from the office, it was Deligne's voice.

Wang Donglai pushed open the door and walked in. Deligne was leaning on the table, writing something.

After entering the door, Wang Donglai didn't speak when he saw Deligne busy, but sat down on his own.

Deligne's attention was also focused on the document in his hand, without raising his head or speaking.

Just like that, the office fell into silence.

Wait until ten minutes have passed.

Only then did Deligne raise his head and move.

This activity attracted Wang Donglai's attention.

"Oh, Wang Donglai, why did you come to my office?"

Deligne recognized Wang Donglai at a glance and asked in surprise.

"Professor Deligne, I just arrived at Princeton and wanted to come over to see you. I shouldn't disturb your work, right?"

Wang Donglai responded with a smile.

"No no!"

Deligne denied repeatedly and looked quite excited. Deligne was quite curious about Wang Donglai, a rising star.

However, the two of them didn't communicate much at the graduation ceremony of Tangdu Jiaotong University last time. Even if they communicated through email, it was still a little less interesting.

Seeing Wang Donglai at this moment, one can imagine how happy Deligne was.

"Last time, because of the time and place, our topic did not continue. Now I have some new ideas, which I just want to discuss with you."

With that said, Deligne continued to share with Wang Donglai the thoughts derived from the last topic they talked about.

Wang Donglai was not surprised by Deligne's reaction.

Because he understands one thing very well, that is, he has a hang-up, but Deligne has not. He can achieve this level without a hang-up. One can imagine how great Deligne's achievements would be if he had a hang-up.

Hard work, diligence and talent can lead to Deligne's current achievements.

"In February this year, you should have noticed the report on the Commonwealth's New Scientist magazine website that the largest known Mersenne prime number "2^2-57885161" has appeared, and now many mathematicians around the world are We are racing against time to find out its distribution pattern."

"After briefly chatting with you, I also conducted some research on this and found that it is indeed very interesting."

"Your country, China, is indeed a magical country. The 'Zhou speculation' proposed by Professor Zhou does have some truth, but..."

Deligne, who was immersed in academic discussions, seemed to be a different person.

He was in high spirits and talked about his opinions endlessly.

In the discussion with Deligne, Wang Donglai also performed extremely well.

With [Mathematics] reaching LV7, he had no problem following Deligne's ideas, and he also had his own opinions from time to time.

The two started chatting, one was a senior who had already won the Mathematics Grand Slam Award, and the other was a rising star who had suddenly gained fame but had yet to win a major award.

After communicating for an hour and a half, Deligne said with some unfulfilled emotion: "Originally, I thought I was still young, but after seeing you, my idea changed. I only won three Grand Slam awards this year. , I guess you can catch up with me next year.”

"I'm just standing on the shoulders of my predecessors. It doesn't mean anything."

Wang Donglai acted quite modestly in front of Deligne, because he knew his true ability and was still a little short of truly solving the ABC guess and the Hodge guess.

If he doesn't rely on the system's prompts at all and relies entirely on his own ability to solve a mathematical problem, he may truly become a top figure in the world of mathematics.

At present, it is only the first-class peak below the extreme.

"Wang Donglai, do you have any ideas about Mersenne prime numbers?"

Suddenly, Deligne asked. Just when Wang Donglai was about to answer, the system notification sound suddenly sounded in his mind.

"Ding dong! A temporary mission has been released. Do you accept it, player?"

Upon hearing this prompt, Wang Donglai naturally chose to accept it without hesitation.

"Ding dong! The player accepts the temporary mission, and the temporary mission has been released!"

Following the system prompts, the detailed information of the temporary mission suddenly appeared in the void in front of Wang Donglai.

[Temporary task: Ask players to summarize the precise formula for the distribution of Mersenne prime numbers! 】

[Task reward: Players can randomly obtain a technology that is no more than a hundred years old in this world. 】

When he saw the mission information appearing on the system panel, Wang Donglai suddenly became excited.

Although he didn't know why this mission suddenly appeared after Deligne asked that question, Wang Donglai couldn't care less about it anymore.

The precise formula for the distribution of Mersenne prime numbers is indeed difficult!

But the rewards given by the system are even more generous.

The science and technology that is no more than a hundred years old in this world is really too tempting.

Technology is changing so fast that in just a few years, there will be earth-shaking changes.

Therefore, he made a decision as soon as he learned about the reward.

That is, this task must be completed.

With this thought in his mind, Wang Donglai's expression became determined, "Since Professor Deligne said so, I will give it a try."

Deligne is not an old scholar who only knows academics and does not understand the world, so he naturally understood what Wang Donglai said.

"No need to be like this. If you are not interested in this aspect, don't be like this. With your talent, you should make more contributions to the mathematics world. I am also looking forward to your achievements. If it is because of me, you can stay at Mason." Regarding prime numbers, I think I will become a sinner in the contemporary mathematics world!"

Deligne said it very seriously, not with false politeness.

Wang Donglai could hear it, so he appreciated Deligne's style even more.

"Professor Deligne, to tell you the truth, I do have some ideas about Mersenne primes. After talking with you, I have strengthened my ideas, so please don't feel guilty. Maybe it won't be long before you can hear it. My good news!”

The tone was full of confidence, as if the distribution law of Mersenne prime numbers was simple.

As a big figure in mathematics, Deligne naturally understands the difficulty of Mersenne's prime number distribution rules, so when he heard Wang Donglai's confident tone, his eyes instantly lit up.

Wang Donglai, who can prove the mathematical problem of two worlds, is definitely not a person who can only talk.

The chat just now also showed the level of Wang Donglai. After all, I was able to chat with him for an hour and a half without any signs of sluggishness or failure to follow his thoughts. This is enough to prove that Wang Donglai's logic and mathematical talent are not weaker than his.

Therefore, Professor Deligne has every reason to believe that Wang Donglai really has some ideas about Mersenne primes.

It is no longer even a simple idea, it is very likely to be some breakthrough achievements.

"If that's the case, then I'll wait and see and wait for your good news."

Deligne suddenly felt like he was witnessing history.

If Wang Donglai really found out the distribution pattern of Mersenne prime numbers, would their chat today become an interesting conversation in the academic world?
  Of course it will!

The identity of the two people combined with this deed is so legendary.

With this thought in mind, Deligne looked at Wang Donglai with more admiration.

"If you don't mind, can the academic exchange be postponed for a few days? I am going to expand the previous academic exchange to a larger scale. I believe you will be very satisfied. What do you think?"

Deligne's eyes moved slightly, and an idea suddenly came to his mind, so he spoke to Wang Donglai.

"Of course there is no problem. I can just use this time to verify my thoughts."

Wang Donglai naturally had no problem and readily agreed.

After a brief chat, Wang Donglai said goodbye to Professor Deligne and returned to the hotel.

After returning to his room in the hotel, he began to study the system.

This temporary mission came about somewhat accidentally.

Wang Donglai couldn't help but have various speculations in his heart.

However, after studying for a while, I found that this temporary task of the system was really just an accident, so I gave up the investigation.

Focus on the Mersenne primes from the system.

Wang Donglai couldn't help but feel a little dizzy.

How good the reward of this temporary task is, then how difficult it will be correspondingly.

"Wealth is found in danger, fight hard!"

Thinking about the rewards given by the system, Wang Dongli took a deep breath and turned on [Brain Overclocking] in the next second!
  　Big guys, please support me... It’s not easy to code for those who are celebrating the Chinese New Year. I hope you guys can give me a reward or a vote or something. I don’t know if there will be any tonight. I’m still writing. I’ll give it away if I can get 3,000 yuan. If it’s not enough, I’ll update it tomorrow…
