CHAPTER 297: CHAPTER 120: THE NAME OF A GENIUS_3

In fact, the research on this proposition has already begun. This is his guarantee for winning the Fields Medal.

Although Frank has already received the Ostrowski Award and the Cray Research Award, those accolades are still not convincing enough. As an ambitious person, Frank has many ideas.

The Huaxia mathematics community is currently facing a transitional period.

The older generation of mathematicians is mostly in their seventies and eighties, and most of the once-young generation are teaching abroad. The new generation of mathematicians has not yet shown anyone with the potential to claim the honor of the Fields Medal.

For now, he seems to be the most promising candidate.

The current global pattern is quite clear; although both Huaxia and the United States have their respective issues, they have become the two most competitive forces in the world.

With awards and honors attached to him, and with the support of numerous mathematicians of Huaxia descent, he might even be able to support the banner of Huaxia’s mathematical community in the future.

To be honest, he feels that everything here is good, but becoming an academician doesn’t seem very meaningful. If Huaxia can develop better in the future, he wouldn’t mind being like Elder Yuan, returning to Huaxia, establishing a mathematics research center named after him, and becoming one of the leading figures in the Huaxia mathematics community.

Huaxia still greatly admires scholars with ability, especially those with both awards and abilities.

As long as he can reach this point before the age of fifty, he can achieve the success of both fame and fortune in this lifetime. In the most populous modern country in the world, his name would be recorded in history books, making this life worthwhile.

By then...

Overall, just thinking about it can make one feel elated.

...

"Sam, Professor Lola sent me an email saying that the internal consistency of our theory is so well done that it’s hard to believe we’re wrong," Frank said with a smile.

This was the last reviewer to speak up, which means that the academic community almost has no objections to their proof process.

Now, they just need the journal editorial team to process the formalities.

Receiving a confirmation for publication is only a matter of time; it’s just uncertain how long the formatting will take.

However, Frank believes such significant results are worthy of a special issue.

Even if it’s one of the four major top journals in the world, "Acta Mathematica."

Publishing five papers simultaneously in a special issue would do justice to the substantial value of this topic spanning over thirty years of research.

"I also received the news. I have to say, we achieved a decent result. I plan to take a break, how about you?" Sam Lars nodded in response.

This time, he was also invited to Berkeley Branch, where he held a joint lecture with Frank.

They shared some thoughts and mathematical ideas in proving this problem and answered some questions.

This kind of academic exchange is indeed very necessary; an open academic world requires the broad dissemination of critical results into mathematical tools.

Frank immediately spoke sincerely: "Of course, I still hope to invite you into my research group. I truly loved what you said yesterday: We must transfer these ideas into different environments where they were never thought to be used! This happens to be what I hope to do next.

In number theory and function field settings, there is nothing corresponding to the ideas of conformal field theory, but conformal field theory allows us to construct special characteristic layers in geometric settings. So, Sam, join me, and together let’s let it permeate through all the barriers between disciplines, what a great thing this would be!"

Sam Lars smiled, just as he was about to politely decline Frank’s invitation, when his phone suddenly rang.

Shrugging at Frank, Sam Lars took out his phone and glanced at it. Initially planning to stand up and take the call in a quiet place, Sam Lars abandoned the thought and said to Frank, "It’s Danis’s call."

He then directly pressed the answer button.

"Hi, Danis, how have you been lately?... Oh? Not so well? Let me guess... No, that’s impossible, you must be joking, right?..."

Frank watched as Sam’s expression changed from relaxed and casual to gradually solemn, and his heart couldn’t help but tense up.

When a professor directly says things haven’t been going well lately on a phone call that can affect the mood of collaborators, it’s probably not good news.

Sam Lars seemed to realize that Frank beside him should also know the content of their conversation and straightforwardly interrupted the conversation on the other end: "Wait, Danis, Frank is right next to me, I’ll put it on speaker, I think he should know all this too."

After saying this, Sam Lars moved the phone away from his ear and turned on the speaker, and Danis’s voice began to reverberate in the office.

"... Well, here’s the situation, to put it simply, I just received some materials sent by Pan, from Huaxia. This material constructed a counterexample directly leading to the partial failure of the Ambidexterity theorem.

I’ve just looked over this counterexample, and I can’t find any flaw. So, I feel it’s necessary to inform you guys, we might have to withdraw part of the paper, especially the fourth part about the proof of the Ambidexterity theorem.

In short, the publication of the paper might be delayed, at least until this issue is resolved. Oh my God, this is a bizarre miracle. Of course, I am not unable to accept that the paper might have flaws, really...

I simply cannot accept that this flaw was actually discovered by a sixteen-year-old, and he’s in Huaxia. Oh, damn it... Frank, you should know, I don’t have any opinion about Huaxia or prejudice against Huaxia’s mathematical development.
