Ultimate Scholar

In the next period of time, Li Mu continued to prepare for the institute. Although for now, he didn't have much to do next. After the location was determined, Zhang Liangwei began to be responsible for his future affairs.

The High-Level Talent Introduction Department is now nicknamed Professor Li Mu's Brokerage Team internally. However, they are currently only responsible for matters related to Li Mu.

Moreover, since Li Mu went to the Chrysanthemum Hall that day, the leadership's attention seems to have increased a lot, and they must meet Li Mu's various requirements. If they exceed their scope of authority, they can continue to report to them. In short, as long as they can agree They all agreed.

Of course, Li Mu did not make many requests that were beyond their authority. Probably the biggest request was to establish the research institute in Sheshan.

Although the decision on this matter is mainly made by the Shanghai Municipal Government, they also need to inform the leaders above. After all, in addition to having many wealthy people, Sheshan also has a national forest park and a 4A-level scenic spot. , the decision still needs to be made from above.

Of course, these things are considered trivial matters.

Their first purpose is to satisfy Li Mu's requirements.

For their company, this can also be called a precious sword, so although it sounds like they are just serving Li Mu, they are still quite happy in their hearts.

In this way, time passed slowly.

Li Mu, who returned to Shanghai, of course also went to Shanghai Jiaotong University and met people he once knew.

Like Professor Wu Mengyuan and Professor Lin Yao.

It is worth mentioning that Professor Wu Mengyuan has now become an academician of the National Academy of Sciences. With the help of the paper he collaborated with Li Mu and the help of his mentor, he was finally selected as an academician of the Academy of Sciences and became a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Top figures in the country's scientific community.

Therefore, when he saw Li Mu, Wu Mengyuan was quite excited, almost dragging Li Mu out for another night of drinking like before.

Li Muke has not forgotten the scene that day when Wu Mengyuan got drunk and fell down, and was finally taken back by his family.

And Professor Lin Yao's current situation is also very good.

His original paper on proving the second main theorem of truncation of non-Archimedean subshape mappings, after Li Mu provided him with some ideas, finally allowed him to successfully complete the proof, and the related paper has also passed the " The review of "Annual Review of Mathematics" was published in the past few months.

Today, he is considered a well-known mathematics scholar in the country.

Of course, Li Mu also invited these two teachers who had mentored him to attend the Nobel Prize dinner on December 10th.

In this regard, Wu Mengyuan and Lin Yao certainly did not refuse. Not many people in the scientific community could refuse such an invitation, and it was certainly impossible for them not to go.

In addition to these two teachers who guided him during his undergraduate period, his mentor during his graduate period was naturally indispensable, Yue Lang, a top scholar in theoretical physics in China and an academician of the Academy of Sciences.

Although Yue Lang didn't teach Li Mu much at the beginning, the teacher-student relationship was still there after all, so the two also had a good exchange. Similarly, Yue Lang was also invited by Li Mu to participate in the Nobel Prize on December 10. Award dinner.

In this way, during this period of time, Li Mu could be regarded as meeting everyone from the beginning, such as Sun Ziping and Sun Zhaohai. \b

While he was in China, his courses at Oxford University also arrived, and Brahms Liszt ushered in his first class as a substitute professor.

…

Merton College, in Li Mu's office.

Although he is not here now, several of his graduate students also took his office keys and usually conduct self-study in his office.

Not everyone likes to study in the library.

"Brahms, you have to go to class soon."

Alex teased with a smile.

Looking at the time, there is only less than half an hour left.

Brahms rolled his eyes: "As a good brother, you don't want to think about how to help me, and you are still making fun of me here."

Alex spread his hands and said: "I'm not making fun of you, I'm just envious of you. Hey, this is helping our professor teach, doesn't it mean you have become our professor? Oh~ Dear Professor Liszt, hello. "

Brahms said angrily: "Envy? How about you help me?"

"Forget it, this is a task assigned to you by the professor, and I don't know much about the parts of the Langlands Program related to number theory, so I can't do it."

Brahms glared at him: "So you are just gloating!"

"There is a saying that is indeed true. Everyone has merit, even the French. "

Alex, who was French, gave Brahms, who was English, the middle finger.

The two Chinese people watching the show, Tu Zhizhen and Yuan Siping, were both amused.

It was not until the end that Tu Zhizhen said: "Well, although Brahms is taking the class, it is still the professor's class anyway, so I think we should go together. If we encounter any problems, we can still provide some advice." help."

Yuan Siping also nodded in agreement.

"We are the team."

No matter what, they are still a team.

So without saying anything more, the four of them set off together and headed to the classroom.

The classroom has not changed, it is still in the large lecture hall No. 1 located in the teaching building on the west side of Merton College.

Of course, when Li Mu was in class before, the place was already overcrowded 20 minutes early, but today since everyone basically knew that the person attending class was not Li Mu, the number of people was much smaller.

This also shows that there are not a few people who came just to admire Li Mu's name.

However, for Brahms, who was about to attend class, the fewer people there, the better, so as not to make him nervous.

Arriving at the door of the classroom, Brahms took a deep breath, and then walked in under the encouraging eyes of the other three people.

The sound of "Oh oh oh~" suddenly sounded in the classroom.

Obviously, the students in the classroom have recognized that this is their "teacher" for the next class.

After all, Brahms himself was an old acquaintance of this class, and of course, he was also a frequent visitor to this classroom.

But speaking of it, Brahms basically came to class in casual clothes, but today after he changed into a suit, he really felt like a professor.

"Hello Professor Liszt!"

Some students started booing on the spot.

Brahms waved his hand quickly and said cautiously: "Don't shout randomly. I can't call you 'professor' right now."

"Hahaha!"

Everyone in the field laughed.

Of course, what Brahms said is indeed very serious. In colleges and universities, the issue of titles is often very important, especially for professors. If the title is wrong, some professors may be disappointed. angry.

Similarly, calling someone who is not a professor a professor may lead to criticism if others hear it.

As a result, everyone in the classroom returned to normal and waited for class to begin.

Of course, Yuan Siping, Alex, and Tu Zhizhen also walked in and recognized them as Li Mu, but not the other three students. After all, there were not that many people who would be doing nothing. Remember what Li Mu’s students look like.

The three of them found a seat in the corner and sat down, waiting for class.

Time passed quickly, and finally, the time for class gradually arrived.

Raising his wrist and looking at his watch, Brahms on the stage took another deep breath and recalled in his mind what Li Mu's movements were like when he took his professor's class.

Hmm... It seems that he put his hands in his pockets and walked directly from the classroom door, looking very chic.

So he also put his hands in his pockets, but he always felt that he was a little timid when doing this action.

Well, he quickly took his hand out again.

Imitation cannot imitate the essence.

What's more, when their professors teach, they basically never bring any teaching materials. When they come in, they have nothing in their hands. At most, they only occasionally take a USB flash drive and use ppt.

But they all know that Professor Li's PPT is to help students like them understand where the class is, not to assist him in teaching.

In Li Mu's class, it is possible that Li Mu was still writing the first page before he lowered his head, and when he raised his head, the blackboard was full and he was about to erase it.

Sighing, forget it, he should just study as he should. He couldn't learn the class method they taught anyway.

It was at this time that the school bell officially rang.

All the students in the classroom habitually sat up immediately, ready to listen carefully to the class, but suddenly they realized that it was Brahms who was teaching this class, so their postures became a little lazy again.

Of course, most people still looked forward to Brahms's class and became serious.

"Ahem, then...this class officially begins."

Standing up straight, Brahms faced the more than a hundred faces present. Although many people had not come, the number of people attending the class here was still much larger than in other classes.

"As everyone knows, our respected Professor Li has something to do, so I will take his place in the next two weeks of classes."

"Although I can't say how well I can perform my duties, I will try my best to satisfy all gentlemen and ladies."

"Okay, Mr. Lister."

Below, all the students laughed and shouted.

"Okay, then this class officially begins."

"According to Professor Li's arrangements, the next two classes will enter fields related to the Langlands Program, and of course they will not deviate from the content of our number theory class."

Having said this, Brahms glanced at the A4 paper Li Mu had given him before, which was the class syllabus.

It records every step on how to take this class well.

First of all, it is necessary to arouse students' interest in the content of this lesson.

"Langlands Programme, I believe everyone basically knows the explanation of this term and its meaning in our mathematical community."

"Everyone should have heard of Atting's conjecture. This is a problem in number theory. It corresponds to the functority conjecture in the Langlands program. Solving the functority conjecture is equivalent to completing the Langlands program. Half of it."

"Previously, the elliptic curve based on K-module theory proposed by our respected Professor Li was of certain help in proving Artin's conjecture."

"Today's mathematics community has already achieved certain results in this regard. Of course, there is still a certain distance between truly proving Artin's conjecture. "

The habitual routine and the way to arouse students' interest before class is to set a great goal for them first.

It's like painting a cake.

For mathematics students, nothing is more interesting than an unsolved mathematical conjecture.

So, these students were really attracted by the big cake here. \b

After that, it is time to transform the goal, to transform this great goal into a small goal, just like the classic story about the marathon champion, who divided a marathon of dozens of kilometers into small goals.

"Of course, solving Artin's conjecture is still a bit too ambitious a goal for us."

"So now, let's briefly discuss how we can find an angle to enter into the solution of Artin's conjecture?"

"Then, next, I will introduce to you the concept of elliptic curve under K-mode."

Turning his head, Brahms walked to the blackboard and started writing.

And those students also listened.

In this way, according to the outline given by Li Mu, Brahms also gradually entered the state of class. Similarly, the students present also felt the feeling of class in the past, and the familiar experience made their attitudes re-evaluate. He straightened up and listened carefully.

In the corner, the three Yuan Siping who came to provide backup for Brahms also smiled when they saw this situation.

From this point of view, it seems that they are worrying too much?

Isn’t this class pretty good?

Just like that, dozens of minutes passed.

"...We define km as the combination of fields kq with q|m and prime numbers. It can be proved that km = Q(ζm, g1/m)..."

"... Then here, we can clearly see that the prime numbers that are completely split in Kn and Km are also the prime numbers that are completely split in Klcm(n, m)."

When he said this, Brahm paused, his mouth was a little dry, and he planned to take a sip of water.

But accidents always happen. These students in front of me are all top students at Oxford University, so at this time, a student raised his hand and asked: "Then Mr. Lister, if we only collect incomplete data in any limited number of fields, If we discuss the split prime number p, how can we prove that Kn and Km are prime numbers in Klcm?"

"Not completely split...?"

Brahms was stunned.

this problem……

Over the top!

It went beyond the outline Li Mu gave him.

Fortunately, he was also studying this aspect himself, so he started racking his brains and thinking carefully, but suddenly discovered, "This seems to have... almost no proof?"

"Doesn't it seem that there is no proof?"

The student who asked the question was not very satisfied with the answer. Of course, he did not embarrass Brahms too much, "Okay then."

However, after he raised this question, it also aroused discussion among other students. Immediately afterwards, another student asked: "And Mr. Lister, you just said that Artin's heuristic is equivalent to assuming that the fields Kq1 and Kq2 are in Q are linearly disjoint, what is the premise of this?”

These two questions made Brahms' brain unable to react.

These two questions usually take him a while to think about, maybe a few hours, maybe a day or two or even longer.

At this time, there was obviously not much time for him to think, after all, he was in class.

Only then did he realize that even with the professor's class syllabus, not everyone could teach like the professor. \b

I recall that when students asked questions in class, their professors could often give answers easily without even thinking.

And now...

He sweated nervously.

The classroom, which was originally quiet, began to rustle when Brahms was unable to give an answer for a long time.

In Brahms' view, they must be saying something like "You really shouldn't come to this guy's class."

This also made him more and more nervous.

And below, seeing such an accident happening, Alex and others couldn't help but become anxious for Brahms.

But none of them had prepared lessons and could not help Brahms answer these two questions at all.

Until the end, Yuan Siping said: "Hurry up and call the professor!"

Upon hearing this, several people immediately made a decision. Alex immediately took out his mobile phone and called Li Mu.

But suddenly they remembered, it seems to be late at night in China now?

Professor, will you answer the phone?

But at this moment, the phone call came through.
