Ultimate Scholar

All in all, as the news that Li Mu won the Fields Medal spread rapidly, those who knew him well expressed their great joy.

Like Li Ruyu on this day, as long as she knew that her younger brother belonged to Li Mu, they all congratulated her, and in their family, both Li's father and Li's mother laughed happily because of it, and they almost didn't have a brother because of it. It's a big feast.

Of course, even if there was no big banquet, they still invited some relatives and friends to celebrate this event.

In addition, they also received various congratulations in their workplaces.

Today, Li's father and Li's mother have all been promoted in their work units because of Li Mu, including the positions that everyone envies.

And now, their children have won the first Fields Medal of Hua Guo people on behalf of Hua Guo. If they tell the older generation how difficult the problems Li Mu solved, they probably won’t be too clear. , but if you tell them about the Nobel Prize, they will definitely understand.

This is known as the Nobel Prize in mathematics, and you can tell how powerful it is just by hearing it.

In the future, Li's father and Li's mother will probably get more support at work because of this incident.

Of course, these are things for the future.

Besides his relatives, Li Mu's former alma mater, the place where he was educated and grew up, is of course the most exciting.

Li Mu's high school, Qin'an No. 83 Middle School.

The school found the graphic advertising studio at the school gate overnight to set up a red banner, and then hung it high on the gate of the school gate.

[Warmly congratulate Li Mu, a graduate of our school in 2018, for winning the Fields Medal! 】

Of course, it's not just Li Mu's high school, his junior high school and elementary school have already put up red banners.

Just kidding, you have to let others know that Li Mu graduated from their school, right?

Even the kindergarten Li Mu studied in those years began to think about whether to hang up banners.

Of course, the alma maters of these primary and secondary schools are already so crazy, let alone Li Mu's university, Shanghai Jiaotong University.

On each gate of each campus of Shanghai Jiaotong University, a red banner is hung, which reads: [Warmly celebrate the 2018 student of our school, lifelong honorary professor Professor Li Mu, won the Fields Medal! 】

There are many talents who have gone out from Shanghai Jiaotong University, but it is unique to be able to win the Fields Medal.

In other words, it is unique among colleges and universities in Huaguo.

Even though Qiu Chengtong's ancestral home was in Guangdong Province, his family immigrated to Xiangjiang in 1949, and he studied at the then Xiangjiang Chinese University.

Therefore, for Shanghai Jiaotong University, this is of course worthy of publicity.

Of course, the atmosphere in the whole school was even more enthusiastic, as if it was the New Year.

All the students in the school knew about their seniors and won such top awards.

All of a sudden, the classroom where Li Mu used to attend classes, his former dormitory, his seat, his bed... all became "spots" for the onlookers to watch.

It just so happened that it was already a holiday, and the senior students had all graduated and left school, so there were basically no people here.

It also facilitates the onlookers of those junior students - as for why girls can enter the boys' dormitory, it is very common in universities.

Of course, apart from the fact that "sacred place check-in" has become something that all students in the school will do today, in the School of Mathematics and the School of Physics, it is a real Chinese New Year.

On the outside of the two colleges, individually customized banners were hung.

The banner of the School of Physics reads: [Congratulations to Mr. Li Mu, Lifetime Honorary Professor of the School of Physics, for winning the Fields Medal], and the School of Mathematics naturally replaced the "School of Physics" with the School of Mathematics.

Of course, the slight difference is that the School of Mathematics has also specially placed a sign under the banner, which specifically introduces what the Fields Medal is, especially the "mathematics award" is greatly emphasized in the sign. \b

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that this is a run on the School of Physics.

After all, the Faculty of Physics and the Faculty of Mathematics were well-known throughout the school for fighting over Li Mu. The deans of other colleges even made fun of the two deans, Pang Ming and Qi Tao, several times.

Just looking at it now...

At this moment, the other deans can only say that the back molars are broken.

Damn, this is the Fields Medal!

...

The news of the Fields Medal caused the entire academic circle to stir for a long time.

After all, as an award with the same status as the Nobel Prize, when major schools in the world introduce their alumni, they will specifically mention the number of Nobel Prize winners and Fields Medal winners.

And including this moment, all the scholars who are participating in the International Congress of Mathematicians in St. Petersburg, recalling the awarding process at the opening ceremony from time to time, can't help but feel a surge of excitement and fascination.

Of course, no matter what, time will not stop for one thing.

Other projects of the International Congress of Mathematicians officially started after the opening ceremony.

The following academic reports have gradually become the focus of the participating mathematics scholars.

...

In the hotel room where Li Mu and his party stayed.

In front of the desk, Li Mu was writing something at his desk.

On the side, Wiles was also looking at what he wrote, which was related to the report.

He asked: "The news has been circulating before that you have proved that problem, but the content of your report tomorrow seems to be only your Li's space?"

After a period of time, the internalization space of the external force source named by Li Mu has been simply called Li's space. \b

After all, it is more convenient.

Li Mu did not stop his pen, but simply answered: "Tomorrow is July 8, and my Fields Medal lecture is scheduled for July 10."

When Wiles frowned, he remembered that a few months ago, Li Mu once said that it depends on whether the IMU will give him face.

And now look at...

"It seems that the IMU you mentioned back then really refers to the Fields Medal!"

He smiled and said, "You already counted this Fields Medal lecture."

The Fields Medal was locked in a few months in advance, and even the idea was put on the Fields Medal Lecture, probably only Li Mu could do it. \b

"So, what you are preparing now is the report of the Fields Lecture?"

Li Mu nodded slightly.

Wiles leaned forward, took a few more glances, and finally frowned.

"This seems to be the Boltzmann equation?"

"Are you going to use the Boltzmann equation to solve this problem?"

"Yes."

Li Mu nodded.

"The Boltzmann equation...the Boltzmann equation..."

Wiles groped his chin, thought for a while, and finally shook his head and said, "I can't think of a solution."

Li Mu smiled: "Then wait until July 10th."

Wiles nodded with a smile: "Of course, I have already begun to look forward to how you will connect the Boltzmann equation, Lie space, and the Navier-Stokes equation."

"Just the sound of it sounds incredible."

At this time, Wiles asked curiously again: "However, I remember that the Fields Medal lecture is only one hour. Can you finish the lecture in one hour?"

Li Mu's smile remained unchanged: "It depends on the IMU, and the organizing committee of this conference, whether or not they will give you face."

Wilston froze for a moment.

It also depends on the IMU, and whether the organizing committee of this conference will give face?

Could it be...

"You still want to make a third report!?"

Wiles asked in surprise.

Li Mu smiled without saying a word, but obviously acquiesced.

Wiles was stunned for a long moment, and suddenly felt that at this moment, there was a sense of sight, as if he had seen it somewhere.

Soon he remembered, isn't this what he had done back then?

Use three reports to complete the final proof...

Wait, "You mean, you actually proved successful?"

Wiles suddenly realized that he almost forgot this important point.

Before, they all assumed that Li Mu might have completed the proof, but it was only a hypothesis and possibility, not that Li Mu had actually proved it.

And look at his current performance...

Li Mu still smiled without saying a word, but Wiles had already got the meaning of his smile.

After a long silence, Wiles took a deep breath, and then said: "Okay, it seems that I don't need to ask any more questions."

"I will keep this secret for you until after your third report."

"I can not wait any more."

With that said, Wiles turned and left without disturbing Li Mu any more, but when he walked to the door, he suddenly asked again: "Aren't they going to give you face?"

"That will be a report at Oxford, of course."

Wilston smiled: "If that's the case, I think Dean Taylor will be very happy."

"Of course, I think, after your second report is over, the IMU will definitely give you this face."

The IMU is insane to reject the Millennium Problem proof.

...

The next day, July 8th.

9:50 a.m. local time.

St. Petersburg International Conference Center, Conference Hall No. 1.

Conference Hall No. 1 is the largest hall of the St. Petersburg International Conference Center. The venue for the opening ceremony of the International Congress of Mathematicians is this Conference Hall No. 1.

Of course, all the one-hour plenary reports are also conducted in the No. 1 conference hall.

This is also a unique treatment for the one-hour plenary report. When the plenary report is held, not many participants will be absent unless they are really not interested.

Of course, no one is not interested in today's plenary report, because its speaker is Li Mu.

Moreover, the topic of this report is the internalization space of the external force source, a new mathematical tool that has been very popular in the mathematics circle recently.

There are still a few minutes before the report starts, but the hall is already full of people.

First row position.

"Wiles, just tell me, has Li Mu really proved that question?"

Beside Wiles, Deligne kept asking.

Of course, in the other seats next to him, various Fields Medal winners also cast inquiring gazes.

For example, after traveling around Europe, Tao Zhexuan who came to the International Conference of Mathematicians on time, and Faltings, who pretended to close his eyes and rest his mind without caring, but was actually listening, even though he didn’t look over, There are slightly younger Fields Medalists such as Peter Schulz sitting in the second row.

Wiles spread his hands blankly and said, "I can't."

"You are Li Mu's mentor, how could you not know?" Deligne said.

"The tutor doesn't have to guide the students' projects, not to mention that he has graduated a long time ago and is now my colleague." Wiles waved his hand.

"It must be that Li Mu didn't tell you." Deligne rolled his eyes, provoking Wiles: "I don't believe you won't ask, can you bear it?"

Wiles: "..."

Well, he really couldn't hold back at first.

Of course, he had already said that he would help Li Mu keep the secret, so he said helplessly, "Whatever you say, I really don't know anyway."

His answer made all the Fields Medalists around turned their heads in disappointment, and they didn't bother to look at him again.

Forget it, concentrate on reading the report, check the time, the report is about to start.

In this way, not long after, the time came to ten o'clock.

The report is about to start.

The host Plovsky, who is the chairman of the organizing committee of the conference, stepped onto the stage.

After the audience quieted down, Plovsky said with a smile: "Before the official start of this International Congress of Mathematicians, there was a report that attracted the attention of many colleagues. The external force source internalizes the space. As a new geometric space, with a new definition and special properties, it is considered to be the most suitable new space for studying fluids."

"And this report, today, it came."

"Then, please let us applaud the speaker of this report and our Fields Medal winner this year, Professor Li Mu!"

The applause rang out enthusiastically, and along with the applause, Li Mu's figure also appeared from one side, and finally walked onto the stage. \b

Plovsky smiled and nodded at him, then handed the podium to Li Mu.

Li Mu was the only one left on the podium.

Facing the more than 4,000 audience in front of him, Li Mu felt no wavering in his heart, and even wanted to laugh a little.

Of course, he did smile, too.

Even though it is the International Congress of Mathematicians and he is the one-hour plenary speaker, he has seen such scenes many times.

So no nonsense.

"It is a great honor to be invited by the International Congress of Mathematicians to give a plenary speech."

"Of course, a few months ago, my report had attracted the attention of many friends, and I was very flattered."

"Then, don't talk nonsense, let's start this report from now on."

With the movement of Li Mu's hand, the PPT page on the big screen behind him also moved.

"The external force source internalizes the space, the space I specially designed for the Institute of Fluid Mechanics."

"It directly defines the external force as the internalized property of the fluid according to the shape of the fluid, which will make our research on the fluid more convenient."

"That's one of my goals."

"Next, let me tell you about the derivation process of the establishment of this space..."

Li Mu turned around and began to write on the blackboard.

Then, the audience in the audience also began to listen carefully.

From a basic point of view, the understanding of Li's space is not difficult, so it is foreseeable that this new knowledge will become popular in the mathematics community in the future, so basically most people have studied it.

Of course, in this report, what they want to hear more is how Li Mu uses this new space.

That's the point.

Theory is important, but how it is used is equally important.

However, in terms of basic content, it is not far from the original text of Li Mu's report.

In this way, time passed quickly.

Fifty minutes passed quietly.

"...So far, that's the main content of my report."

After writing the final result on the blackboard, Li Mu turned around and said to the audience.

Many listeners in the audience just woke up like a dream.

Is it over?

Many people were a little surprised.

"I actually understood Li Mu's report?"

This is the first thought in many people's minds.

Yes, this report by Li Mu is not very difficult to understand. Anyone who has read his report carefully can basically understand it.

Those who originally had problems with certain parts of the report were resolved after Li Mu's narration.

For a while, those who had participated in Li Mu's other lectures were not used to it.

This big guy actually talked about something simple.

I haven't seen you for a few days, is it that simple?

Desperate family members.

However, just when they were thinking this in their hearts, Li Mu suddenly smiled again.

"In addition, with the remaining time, I will also give a preview of my Fields Medal lecture in two days' time."

When everyone was stunned, he had already turned around and wrote a few lines of formulas on the blackboard.

【N=pmf(x, y, z)...】

As soon as a few lines of simple formulas were written, those who were surprised that they understood Li Mu's report suddenly became confused.

ah?

What the hell is this?

However, many big cows sitting in the first few rows originally didn't have much emotional fluctuations during the report process, but at this moment, they suddenly opened their eyes wide.

"Hou Li Crab Special... Is this the Boltzmann equation? No, no, there is a certain difference..."

"What is he trying to do? Rewrite the Boltzmann equation?"

...

Until the end, when Li Mu finished writing all the formulas, he stopped writing, turned his head, and looked at the people present.

"Then, this is the end of my report. I look forward to seeing you again on the day of my lecture."

He bowed slightly.

But the audience in the auditorium seemed to hesitate for a moment, and the applause first sounded from the back row.

Because the bosses in the first few rows were completely attracted by Li Mu's predictions, and almost forgot to applaud.

Wiles opened his eyes wide: "It turns out... is this the way to combine Lie's space and the Boltzmann equation?"

But Faltings squinted his eyes, until the end, he was reminded by the applause in the back row, and clapped his hands.

"Gerd, do you see anything?"

Beside Faltings, Terence Tao asked him.

Faltings said with his eyes: "If Li's space was good before, but it was not perfect enough."

"Then his rewriting of the Boltzmann equation will make up for this deficiency."

"I have a hunch that his lecture will be very interesting."

...
