From university academician to chief academician

Ye Fei didn't stay at home for long. After staying for almost half a month, he returned to Zhonghu University.

He seemed to feel that he was out of tune with many people.

During the winter vacation, a former high school classmate invited him to a party.

After he went there, he found that some people did not continue their graduate studies after completing their undergraduate studies.

Some people work and some people get married.

Some of these people complained that work was difficult, while others complained that they regretted getting married.

And most of them are still in graduate school.

He is already working and has different experiences and mental thoughts from those who go to school.

He is good at his job, so he doesn't find it difficult.

He is single, so he cannot understand the difficulties of marriage.

Therefore, Ye Fei and all his classmates do not agree with each other.

"Hey..." Ye Fei shook his head in his heart and sighed: "I can never go back."

After returning to school, Ye Fei continued to devote himself to research. He did not research in the office, but in his residence.

At this time, the teachers and students of the school were on vacation, and there were not many people in the school.

Single apartment, study room!

In the study room, which is about ten square meters, there is a desk and a whole row of bookshelves against the wall.

The bookshelves are filled with books on history and philosophy. These books were not placed by Ye Fei, but were there when he arrived.

He is not interested in these books, so he doesn't read them on weekdays.

There was no computer on the desk, but Ye Fei's research materials were all on it.

Sunlight shines in through the window, the dust is floating in the beam, and the window in the study is bright and clean.

Ye Fei sat slumped on the chair, staring at the ceiling above him.

He thought to himself: "The following research is a Gaussian conjecture in the quadratic domain."

There is a lot to learn and research about the Gaussian conjecture in the quadratic domain.

What needs to be learned is Pell's equation, quadratic form and quadratic field, Dedekind function and limit formula.

Based on the knowledge learned, we can study the Gaussian class conjecture, the Gaussian class conjecture in the imaginary quadratic field and the Gaussian class conjecture in the real quadratic field.

Each of these three studies is divided into three steps.

The Gaussian class conjecture includes the zero-point distribution and order estimation of the Dedekind function, the canon 10gε and continued fractions of the real quadratic field and the quadratic Euclidean field.

The Gaussian class conjecture of the imaginary quadratic field is divided into the final determination of a class of imaginary quadratic fields and the elliptic curve and modular forms.

The Gaussian class conjecture of the real quadratic field is divided into a general discussion of the Gaussian class conjecture of the real quadratic field, the criterion for judging the class number of real quadratic fields l, using continued fractions to express the class number of the imaginary quadratic field, and the Zhoura conjecture. .

Ye Feixin said: "There is no need for the study part. My knowledge base is enough and I can go directly into research."

"In fact, Gaussian conjecture is not only a mathematical study, but also an economic study."

Gaussian conjecture is a very wonderful research. Some mathematicians have derived mathematical problems from Gaussian conjecture.

There are also economists who derive economic problems from Gaussian conjecture.

For example, the famous monopoly theory hypothesis in economics.

Therefore, many people can win both mathematics and economics awards when studying Gaussian conjecture.

"The first question studies the zero-point distribution and order estimation of the Dedekind function!"

This question involves the Riemann Hypothesis and Goldbach Hypothesis.

Therefore, to study this issue, we must study previous research literature on the Riemann Hypothesis and Goldbach Hypothesis.

With that said, Ye Fei created a task in the system.

[Task: Prove the zero-point distribution and order estimation of the Dedekind function!

Reward: 500 points]

Ye Fei spent the entire winter vacation studying and researching.

On March 1, 2024, school will start.

Ye Fei walked to the office early in the morning and heard Tan Lingling chattering from a distance.

"Let me tell you, Ye Fei is awesome this time. He proved the ABC conjecture this time and caused a stir in the entire mathematics community."

"Many of my classmates, knowing that Ye Fei and I were colleagues, asked me about him."

"There are also many overseas friends who also ask me about him."

"Even my doctoral supervisor asked me about him."

"I heard from others that many people in Xia Guo's mathematics community are discussing him now."

"Hey...you said he is hanging in front of my eyes every day, so why did he study the ABC conjecture quietly? I can't understand it."

Passerby A said: "Don't tell me that you are puzzled, I am also puzzled. You and Ye Fei work in the same office. How come he is famous and you are still unknown?"

Tan Lingling: "..."

Tan Lingling said: "Because of you."

Passerby A asked doubtfully: "What does it have to do with me?"

"Because I hang out with you every day. If you are not famous, I will not be famous."

Passerby:"……"

Passerby A said unwillingly: "You still hang out with Ye Fei every day!"

"That won't last long with you."

Passerby:"……"

After hearing this, Ye Fei walked to the office door in a funny manner.

At this time, several teachers from several nearby offices gathered together to chat.

Ye Feidao: "Happy New Year, everyone!"

"Ye Fei, happy New Year!" Everyone turned to look at him when they heard Ye Fei's voice.

"Ye Fei, congratulations on proving the ABC conjecture!" Passerby A said.

"Thank you!" Ye Fei smiled.

"Ye Fei, I heard that you met Mochizuki Shinichi." Passerby Yi asked: "How is he?"

Ye Feidao: "A very elegant person."

"I heard that you guys had a close conversation?" Passerby C asked.

"Yeah!" Ye Feidao: "We specially found a teahouse and chatted for more than an hour."

The others looked at Ye Fei with envy.

Although Mochizuki Shinichi is not the world's top mathematician, there is a certain gap between him and those Fields Medal winners.

But Mochizuki Shinichi is also a world-class mathematician, and it will be of great benefit to him to be in contact with such a big man.

Of course, they also know that this is Ye Fei's ability.

If you don't have the ability to contact Mochizuki Shinichi, Mochizuki Shinichi will ignore you.

Everything still depends on ability.

However, even if he knew it, he could not hide the envy in his heart.

This is the god of learning!

If they had Ye Fei's ability, they would take a black and white photo of themselves, frame it, and pray three times a day.

Commonly known as worshiping God!

Ask yourself to get better and better.

"Everyone is here!" At this time, the academic director came over and said with a smile.

"Happy New Year, Director!" everyone said.

"Happy New Year!" said the director.

After saying that, he looked at Ye Fei and said, "Ye Fei, come with me to the principal's office!"

"What are you doing in the principal's office?" Ye Fei asked doubtfully.

He rarely interacts with the principal, and mostly interacts with the dean.

"Good thing!" The director smiled mysteriously.

"Director, what's the good thing?" Tan Lingling looked at him expectantly with her eyes shining brightly.

The director shook his head and said with a smile: "I can't tell you this. You will naturally know it when Ye Fei comes back from the principal's office."

He looked at Ye Fei again and said, "Let's go!"

"good!"

Ye Fei suppressed his doubts and walked to the dean's office with the director.

Tan Lingling and several passers-by A, B, B and D chatted with gossip on their faces. What good thing did the principal want to find Ye Fei?

"It's not like he was promoted to associate professor, right?" said passerby Ding.

"It's possible!" Passerby A said: "Ye Fei has proved the ABC conjecture. If he were abroad, he would already be a full professor. In Xiaguo University, we have a strict system for professional title promotion, so he is just a lecturer."

"But it also depends on his ability. With his current achievements, the school should promote him to associate professor."

"Yeah!" The other people nodded, agreeing with Passerby A's point of view.

After Ye Fei entered the principal's office, he found that besides the principal, there was also a strange middle-aged man.

At this time, this man was sitting on the sofa chatting with the principal.

This person, Ye Fei, had never been seen in school before, so he was probably not a teacher at the school.

Although there are many teachers in the school, Ye Fei has been at Zhonghu University for seven years. As long as he is a teacher at Zhonghu University, he should have met them all.

Although I can't name them all, if I have seen them, I will have some impressions.

When the principal saw Ye Fei coming in, he stood up and said with a smile: "Ye Fei, here you go, please sit down."

"Hello, principal!" Ye Feidao said.

After that, he sat on the sofa.

The director said: "Principal, you talk, and I'll leave."

Immediately, he left the office.

The principal said: "I came to see you today to talk to you about your promotion to associate professor."

Ye Fei's expression was very calm, as if he was not surprised at all.

He has proved the ABC conjecture, so the school should mention his professional title no matter what.

You know, if he goes to other universities, they will help him improve his professional title.

In China, he is promoted to associate professor, and in foreign countries, he is promoted to full professor.

"This is Director Huang of the Department of Education. Let him speak next."

Director Huang looked at Ye Fei and smiled: "First of all, congratulations on proving the ABC conjecture. Our Xia country needs talents like you. Do you have any opinions on your promotion to associate professor?"

"Everything depends on the organization's arrangements." Ye Feidao.

"Okay!" Director Huang pushed a document in front of Ye Fei and said, "This is the associate professor's professional title contract, sign it!"

Ye Fei didn't talk nonsense. After reading the contract carefully, he picked up the pen on the table and signed it.

After Ye Fei signed the contract, Director Huang put it away and said, "Register to the intranet of the Education Department. From now on, you will have the title of associate professor."

The principal said: "Ye Fei, according to the school's regulations, associate professors are tutors for master's students. There is no chance this semester. You will start tutoring master's students next semester."

If you are in some non-985 universities, even if you are promoted to associate professor, you may not be a master's tutor.

But as a 985 university, Zhonghu University is not an incompetent person for every associate professor.

The academic level is very high, so as long as associate professors at Zhonghu University are promoted, they become master tutors.

When he is promoted to full professor, he becomes a doctoral supervisor.

Ye Fei's ability was sufficient, so he was naturally promoted to associate professor and became a master's tutor.

"No problem!" Ye Feidao.

He doesn't care about taking care of graduate students. He also likes free labor!

"Also, after you are promoted to associate professor, your salary will also be upgraded. The school's HR will contact you in this regard."

"There are some conditions, you can also talk to HR."

"As long as it's not too much, the school can still consider it."

For a talent like Ye Fei, the principal naturally wants to stay.

The School of Mathematics at Zhonghu University has always been tepid. If Ye Fei can lead it, he will be very happy.

This is good for math colleges and schools.

Of course, it is also of great benefit to him as the principal.

"good!"

Ye Fei didn't care, he wasn't short of money anyway.

Although it's not much, I still have about 10 million in savings.

The money is enough for him to live on.

And he is at Zhonghu University mainly to facilitate research.

Of course, the better the conditions provided by the school, the happier he will be. Who doesn’t want to earn more and more!

After the matter was settled, Ye Fei left the principal's office.

As soon as he returned to the office, Tan Lingling and others gathered around him and asked the principal what he wanted from him.

Ye Feidao: "The principal came to me to promote my professional title."

Passerby A laughed loudly and said: "Let me tell you, is it a promotion to an associate professor?"

"Yeah!" Ye Feidao: "Yes."

Passerby Yi said in surprise: "A 24-year-old associate professor. It seems that the youngest associate professor in our school is thirty years old. Ye Fei, you have broken the record again."

"You are now the youngest associate professor at Zhonghu University."

Ye Fei was stunned for a moment. This thought seemed to be correct. He was the youngest associate professor at Zhonghu University.

Unknowingly, I reached the pinnacle of life and won...

A lot of fame.

Zhonghu University is so big. When the news spread that Ye Fei was promoted to associate professor.

Many teachers were surprised, but not particularly surprised.

Ye Fei has proved the ABC conjecture, and his promotion to associate professor seems natural.

But many students were very surprised. That was a 24-year-old associate professor!

They had not yet graduated at the age of 24, and Ye Fei had already become an associate professor.

Sure enough, the gap between humans is wider than the gap between humans and dogs.
