Chapter 170 Professor Langlands
Chapter 170 Professor Langlands
Assistant Robert felt very miraculous that he came to the magical Huaguo in his lifetime.In the past, he only saw some clips and pictures about Huaguo on TV and the Internet.When he saw Hua Guo with his own eyes, he said in surprise, "Wang, why do I feel that Hua Guo is similar to New York?"
The corner of Wang Yun's mouth twitched, and he looked at Assistant Robert and said, "Otherwise, what do you think Huaguo should be like?"
ummmmmmm...
Although I know that there is nothing wrong with the fact that many foreign media will black Huaguo, but Assistant Robert is so easily brainwashed as a scholar, is it really okay?
"Okay." Assistant Robert shrugged his shoulders, "Let me see, we need to wait at the Capital Airport, and there will be a special car to pick us up and go to the hotel."
"En." Wang Yun said kindly, Assistant Robert squinted at Wang Yun and said, "Wang, you are very familiar with the capital of China, right?"
"That's right." Wang Yun said with a smile, "I've read the books here for half a year. Although I don't say I'm familiar with them, I'm still somewhat familiar with them."
After entering the customs, he checked with Assistant Robert and was let in.When he was about to walk towards the aisle, he heard someone making noise behind him.Turning around, I saw a middle-aged man saying arrogantly, "Why do you check me?"
"???" Wang Yun looked confused, what kind of monsters and ghosts are these?
"Sir, I just asked you to take off your hat." The people behind seemed a little impatient, and shouted, "It's so difficult to ask you to take off your hat? Which big shot are you?"
"Oh my god." Although Assistant Robert couldn't understand what the middle-aged man was saying, he could tell when he saw the middle-aged man's appearance. It seemed that the middle-aged man had already confronted the customs police.He said with a look of incomprehension, "Why is this happening? If it were in the United States, I bet he would have been dragged down."
"Maybe you can already enjoy bullets." After Wang Yun followed up, he looked at Assistant Robert and found that Assistant Robert seemed to be still curious about the development of the situation.He raised his eyebrows and said, "Mr. Robert, our special car should be arriving soon, so we should wait earlier."
"Oh." Robert nodded, then withdrew his gaze, and followed Wang Yun out of the passage.Standing outside the airport terminal, without waiting for a while, the special car drove to them.
After asking about their names and flight numbers, and taking a look at their documents, the driver let them board the car.
When he came to the hotel, Wang Yun and Assistant Robert were not in the same room. After he entered the hotel to settle down and put down his things, he opened the door and saw that Professor Langlands was also going out.Dazed for a moment, Wang Yun was in a bad mood. He didn't expect Professor Langlands to be opposite him.This is simply...what did the organizers think.
Apparently, Professor Langlands was also slightly stunned for a while, and waved to Wang Yun friendly and said, "Wang, we meet again."
"Hello, Professor Langlands." Wang Yun pursed his lips and bowed slightly. Professor Langlands touched the bridge of his nose and said, "No need to be like this, I thought you would attend the physics meeting with Witten." Shrugging his shoulders, "Oh, I just remembered that it was a physics conference in the United States, not an international physics conference, no wonder Witten asked you to attend the mathematics conference."
Wang Yun didn't say anything. In fact, Professor Witten was doing it for his own good. Otherwise, it would be impossible to send him away and let him come to Huaguo to attend this mathematics conference.
This is where he came to the meeting mainly as a mathematician, and was invited by the International Union of Mathematicians.Although the awards to be awarded by the International Union of Mathematicians have been announced in March, it is impossible for him to receive any awards now.But he still had to come to this meeting obediently. In fact, he was also quite curious.In addition to this part of the conference, there are also academic reports and forums.
This made Wang Yun quite curious, mainly because Wang Yun had never experienced a forum-style meeting, so he wanted to try it.It is said that this part is open to everyone, that is, as long as you can buy a ticket, you can enter the forum to watch the dialogues of mathematicians.
But here is the problem. Ordinary people who are so interested in mathematics come to boring mathematician forums and academic reports.
When thinking of this, Professor Langlands just said, "Wang, I remember you also have a one-hour academic report, are you ready?"
Assistant Robert had already told him about this problem, even though he and Assistant Robert were in an equal position.But it is undeniable that Assistant Robert has arranged a lot of itineraries for him.On this point, Wang Yun sincerely thanked Assistant Robert.
Wang Yun replied with a smile, "Yes, I remember that it was the third day of the meeting, and there was an academic report meeting at the School of Mathematics, Capital University." When Wang Yun said this, he paused, and then continued , "Of course, there seems to be another forum... I forgot the name."
Professor Langlands patted Wang Yun on the shoulder and said, "It's called the Young Mathematicians Forum Conference. Not only you will go, but young mathematicians from all over the world will go. However, in my opinion, the most outstanding one should be the you."
"Thank you, Professor Langlands, for your compliment." Wang Yun smiled slightly, and Professor Langlands immediately shrugged, "After all, in the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, I saw that you are quite amazing."
"Of course, or it may be because I don't know much about other young mathematicians." Professor Langlands said as he walked, "However, in terms of excellence, I think it may be difficult for anyone other than you to be more outstanding than you." Found it. Professor Witten was still telling me that day, you are not willing to cooperate with him to solve the Hilbert conjecture, otherwise, you will have some foothold in quantum mechanics."
When talking about this, Professor Langlands looked at Wang Yun curiously, "Wang, can I ask you a question?"
"Professor, please tell me." Seeing Professor Langlands looking at him so curiously, Wang Yun didn't know what to say.
"I heard that if your NS equation is done, you will choose the Yang-Mills theory?" Professor Langlands said in admiration, "Your pursuit of academics is indeed beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. "
"Professor, you're amazing." Wang Yun scratched his head, "Because my advisor, Professor Witten, was originally an expert in quantum physics, I studied under him, but I have been studying other topics, which feels a bit strange. "
"It's really strange." Professor Langlands nodded. "After all, his quantum physics is the most outstanding thing. No matter how good his mathematics is, it is a tool for studying physics."
Professor Langlands also felt a little emotional. Of course, those who study mathematics will also be exposed to some physics, but Witten really does not have such an understanding of physics. He is known as a physicist and has won the Fields Medal.The big monster brings the little monster, maybe the little monster will become a big monster in the future.
Or—maybe it was a monster more terrifying than the big monster.Counting Wang Yun's academic achievements, Professor Langlands can clearly feel that Wang Yun's academic pursuits are increasingly seeking changes and breakthroughs.If he wants to stay in his comfort zone, conjectures in number theory are very much for him.
For example, the twin prime number conjecture, but Wang did not do it.I chose a Kakutani conjecture that has nothing to do with number theory as a subject, and won this subject in one fell swoop.
In the field of differential topology, before Wang got the Kakutani conjecture, Professor Langlands would never have imagined that Wang could actually solve this conjecture.
While thinking, he walked to the elevator with Wang.
Professor Langlands asked, "Wang, are you going to find Assistant Robert?"
"Eh?" Wang Yun was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Professor Langlands to know Assistant Robert, he nodded slightly and said, "Professor Langlands, do you know him too?"
"Of course." Professor Langlands said with a smile, "He has been Witten's assistant for two years, and he has been seeing him in the research institute recently. It is very difficult not to be familiar with him."
"Really..." Wang Yun scratched his head and smiled, "Professor, where are you going?"
"I'm going to have dinner. I heard that the Huaguo cuisine here is pretty good." Professor Langlands was about to say something, but the elevator stopped on the floor, and Wang Yun looked at Professor Langlands.Finding that he hadn't spoken for a long time, he said, "Professor, then I'll go to Assistant Robert first."
"Okay." Professor Langlands nodded, and after Wang Yun got out of the elevator, he pressed the button.
When he came to the door of Assistant Robert's room, he knocked lightly on the door first, but found that no one seemed to respond.Wang Yun thought to himself, could it be that Assistant Robert is adjusting the time difference?
After knocking on the door again, Assistant Robert came out in a hurry, looked at Wang Yun and said, "Wang, what's the matter? What's the matter?"
"Assistant Robert, I want to ask, do you need to go to dinner?" Wang Yun looked at Assistant Robert, seeming to be paying attention to his expression.
Assistant Robert shook his head, yawned and said, "No need, Wang, you can go to dinner by yourself. Oh, by the way, you will be required to attend an academic report tomorrow, just wait..." Assistant Robert said, Turning around and walking towards the room, after a while, he took out a form in English, "This is the academic report you need to attend, remember to wear your ID."
"Oh, I forgot to remind you that you must not forget to attend your academic report and the forum for young mathematicians." Assistant Robert shrugged and said, "I may not appear in front of you until the day of the awards."
"Good luck, Wang!" After speaking, Assistant Robert closed the door with a tired face.
It seems that he seems to be quite tired these days.Wang Yun took the paper and glanced at it. He originally planned to go to the restaurant, but let's forget it now.Take the paper back to the hotel and put it away, and then there should be time to go out to eat.
What's more, as a Chinese, although I am not particularly familiar with the capital, it is not difficult to find delicious places.
