Top Student at Their Peak-Chapter 372 - 132: I Want to Thank Every Person in My Life Who Deserves Thanks!_7

"Professor Frank, this is actually quite simple. It’s just about introducing the LGIR tool along with a consistency correction operator. If you had more time, you’d definitely think of it too. I just got to it first. But there’s not enough time now, as you’ll see during the presentation."

One sentence left Frank feeling quite speechless.

"It’s not that simple..." said Pan Jingyuan, who was walking alongside them.

Since Danis and Sam couldn’t understand Chinese, they didn’t stick around with the three, leaving only Pan Jingyuan to join them.

"Haha, Professor Pan, you’re flattering me," Qiao Yu smiled at Pan Jingyuan and said.

Actually, Pan Jingyuan joined this gathering today purely because he suspected whether Qiao Yu had any conflict with Sam or Frank, but it seemed they were really meeting for the first time.

No one showed any particular reaction...

It seemed everything was just a coincidence.

Frank shrugged and casually picked up a piece of bread, putting it on his plate.

To be honest, he didn’t have much appetite. On the other hand, Qiao Yu had a pretty good appetite, piling up a bunch of food and casually grabbing a cup of milk.

Then the three naturally sat together.

"Professor Frank, are you eating so little?" Qiao Yu asked with concern after sitting down.

"Oh, my appetite hasn’t been good lately," Frank casually replied.

"Huh? Um... could it be because of the results I achieved this time? Really, Professor Frank, I was purely attracted by the creative thinking mode of the Geometric Langlands Conjecture, and subconsciously wanted to research those constructions.

Really, at the time, I felt there was a special beauty in the proof process of you and Professor Sam, like that of an incomplete beauty. I even wanted to discuss it with you or Professor Sam, but I didn’t have your email.

Later, by coincidence, I suddenly realized where the problem was... Ah well, you won’t blame me, right?" Qiao Yu cautiously asked.

This left Pan Jingyuan at a loss for words.

Incomplete beauty...

What kind of description is that?

But Frank just slightly curled his lips and said with a bitter smile, "Of course not, it just means our proof had flaws. Actually, everyone’s goal is the same, and your method is better. I’m genuinely happy because this problem has finally been solved. As Professor Sam said, maybe we could collaborate in the future."

"Phew... that’s great!"

Qiao Yu looked relieved and said, "If Professor Sam can be as magnanimous as you, I wouldn’t worry anymore. Actually, my biggest fear is that this achievement might affect you two professors. I’ve heard from Professor Pan that you’ve both spent many years on this topic."

Frank smiled bitterly, while Pan Jingyuan glared at Qiao Yu and said, "Ahem, Qiao Yu, I’m really curious, how did you suddenly get the inspiration?"

"I don’t know either. After I called you that day, Professor Danis came to see me the next day. After talking about my general idea with him, I suddenly figured out the complete method when I got back to my room, and then I proved it. Maybe the Math Goddess didn’t want the professors’ previous work to go to waste?"

If Frank weren’t nearby, Pan Jingyuan might have thought Qiao Yu’s words made sense.

But now Pan Jingyuan felt a bit troubled, as if he shouldn’t have joined the fun.

The table finally fell silent, as if Qiao Yu’s words had taken away everyone’s interest in chatting, and they quietly continued eating the food in front of them.

Only Qiao Yu was thoroughly enjoying the meal.

Of course, this only showed that young people tend to have good appetites.

As for Frank, it was obvious he really didn’t have much of an appetite as he only ate half of a piece of bread.

Finally, as the meal was about to end, Frank handed Qiao Yu a business card.

Qiao Yu took it and glanced at it; yep, a professor from the Berkeley Branch, like in Huaxia; that’s a senior title. It also had his email and research field information.

"My email is on there. As I said, maybe we can collaborate in the future. For the next stage, I might work on research in conformal field theory, and if you’re interested, you can join."

"I’m honored, Professor Frank. But it might take some time. You may not know, but I’m still in Professor Li’s research group, working on the two-dimensional expansion of the Chevalley’s theorem. Once this project is over, you must let me join your group then."

"No problem!" Frank looked at the smiling young man with a complex expression.

He really seemed to see his younger self.

...

In the conference hall, Zhang Nuoke was watching the cameraman beside him adjust the equipment.

This was a photographer from Huaxia’s media.

After his news reached home, the importance attached to this World Algebraic Geometry Conference had significantly increased. If nothing unexpected happens, the news program from seven to seven-thirty might even allocate about 90 seconds to broadcast this video news.

The footage would naturally come from what this cameraman was recording.

Don’t underestimate these 90 seconds. You know, the information density of that seven o’clock news program is very high, and the requirement for the host is to articulate 290 to 300 words per minute, which means 400 words in 90 seconds.

A mathematics conference, being reported in a national news program, with the host saying over 400 words and even providing visuals, shows how much the station values this.

This also made him very curious about Qiao Yu.

He wondered what kind of performance this sixteen-year-old would give.

Luckily, the conference was about to start soon.

Zhang Nuoke turned his head to look inside the conference hall, and the large auditorium that could accommodate a thousand people was nearly filled with mathematicians from all over the world... quite a scene.

...

The opening ceremony of the mathematicians’ conference is often not too complicated.

Especially since today’s conference is unlike the International Congress of Mathematicians, where there’s a tedious award ceremony.

Quickly, under the host’s guidance, the committee bigwigs stepped off the stage, leaving the most dazzling stage for Qiao Yu.

Even though the mathematicians below had prepared themselves for this, seeing such a young face step onto the podium still caused a commotion, with applause mixed in, appearing somewhat abrupt.

Of course, to Qiao Yu, these were minor things.

He was in a genuinely good mood, especially when he discovered that among the bigwigs present, including the Geometric Langlands Conjecture team, that particular man was sitting in the front row, in the clearest view. It made him chuckle.

That man’s expression seemed overly serious... why so serious for just a report?

"Hehe... ahem... sorry, um... I might have gotten a bit too excited! But you all know, it’s my first time standing on the podium to give a report, so I hope you can forgive me and let me start over."

Slight laughter filled with goodwill echoed from the audience.

As the laughter subsided, Qiao Yu composed himself, his expression becoming serious: "First, I want to thank the conference organizing committee for giving me this opportunity to share parts of the proof process of the Geometric Langlands Conjecture with everyone, and I also want to thank all of you for coming.

But most importantly, I must thank Professor Danis and Professor Pan from the Geometric Langlands Conjecture team for their tremendous help during the research. Of course, there were also contributions from Professor Sam and Professor Frank.

Even though there were some tiny errors in their research results, these errors inspired my thinking and also made us understand how to avoid failures due to subtle errors in critical details.

First, I’ll start with a special class of conjugate ridge singular points. The characteristic of this class of singular points lies not only in its local manifestation as common singular structures but also in its global complex spine-like extensions, with its local geometric structure bearing a conjugate relationship with other points even at the far end of the algebraic variety, even non-adjacent singular points..."

As his words fell, Qiao Yu opened the PPT that had already been reviewed and approved by the committee’s review board.

A standard spine structure singular point was also displayed in front of the over a thousand mathematicians present.

This was the weapon he used to defeat that man, and the fact that he could present it in front of that man was one of life’s few true joys!
