Chapter 361: Chapter 131 Sorry, I can’t think of a title for this Chapter!_3

This approach was something they hadn’t thought of before, wild enough and effective enough.

Based on Danis’s understanding of Sam, the latter should be able to comprehend his difficulties.

This wasn’t a betrayal; it was a respect for mathematics.

A more effective, almost flawless mathematical method is more likely to resonate with everyone.

"I understand now." Pan Jingyuan took a deep breath. He had originally planned to talk to Qiao Yu, but he suddenly decided against it.

After all, he actually had special feelings for Qiao Yu.

At least in this matter, he was like half a mentor to Qiao Yu. He was the one who guided Qiao Yu to dive deep into this subject. If this were a final exam, then it seemed Qiao Yu had submitted a perfect score paper recognized by authority.

As a course instructor, learning how this paper was written from the next day’s presentation is a special feeling.

Danis nodded to Pan Jingyuan and said, "Alright, Pan, go grab something to eat, and then rest early. No matter how it is, this is actually good news for us. We’ve succeeded. Next, we can use these new tools to do more things.

Higher-dimensional Langlands correspondence, Langlands parameterized space structures, noncommutative geometry and Langlands correspondence... Look, we’ve saved a lot of time and can focus on more interesting problems. I’m sure Sam and Frank are thinking the same way."

"Of course, you’re right. But... oh well, thank you, Danis."

"Haha, no need to say thank you. We’re partners now."

...

Meanwhile, in the event room prepared by the organizing committee for this mathematician exchange, Li Lixing, who had also just arrived at the hotel, was chatting with a familiar professor.

"Hi, Professor Li, have you heard? The organizing committee decided to change the opening speaker for tomorrow’s report temporarily. It’s said that Professor Shigeru Mukai was feeling unwell, so his report will be shifted to before the closing ceremony."

"Oh? Feeling unwell?" Li Lixing was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized that this was likely an euphemism given by the organizing committee to save face for the originally scheduled opening report professor.

Generally speaking, unless it’s a sudden serious illness, a minor cold or fever wouldn’t likely affect giving a sixty-minute presentation.

If there indeed were a serious illness, one wouldn’t drag their worn-out body to give a report before the closure anyway.

"So did some professor’s achievements lead the organizing committee to decide to change the speaker temporarily?" Li Lixing casually asked.

Anyway, it had nothing to do with him.

If their team had any results, the first author might have a chance to compete for the opening report, but their issue hasn’t been fully resolved.

But these kinds of incidents are indeed unusual.

As the satellite conference of the International Congress of Mathematicians, the World Algebraic Geometry Conference isn’t held regularly. Generally, it is called when the committee feels there are notable recent results.

The opening report for each conference, of course, should also focus on the hottest research topics of recent times.

After all, algebraic geometry is a critical and lively field in mathematical research.

Li Lixing had previously heard that the conference was initially set up due to a breakthrough in the Geometric Langlands Conjecture. However, just a month before the conference was confirmed, Qiao Yu suddenly discovered a flaw in the proof, leading the organizing committee to change the opening speaker.

From the Geometric Langlands Conjecture, it became an issue of K3 surfaces.

Who would’ve thought that just before the conference began, they’d change the speaker again...

This year’s conference has truly been full of twists and turns.

"Hmm? You don’t know? It’s that Qiao Yu. I just heard from Professor Su from Yanbei University that Qiao Yu recently joined your project group. Didn’t you communicate with each other?"

"Qiao Yu? Wasn’t he invited to give a thirty-minute presentation?" Li Lixing asked in astonishment.

"Yes, but I heard he just solved the problem he proposed about the Conjugate Ridge Singular Point causing the failure of Ambidexterity theorem. That is to say, they pinpointed a question and then resolved it, so a thirty-minute presentation wasn’t enough."

Well, with this reason...

Alright, the first thing that came to Li Lixing’s mind was that Elder Yuan, who stayed back at Huaqing, must be feeling quite regretful now.

The conference had actually invited Elder Yuan to attend.

But Elder Yuan thought that Qiao Yu would only give a thirty-minute presentation, so he politely declined.

When saying goodbye yesterday, the old man even joked that he should take good care of his health and wait for when Qiao Yu gives the opening report at the International Congress of Mathematicians to listen in person.

And today, he just arrived and heard this news.

"Is this news confirmed?"

"Very certain, you’ll know if you check the hall later; they’re already changing the posters."

"Then... alright, that’s indeed a remarkable contribution. It also makes me more eager for tomorrow’s presentation," Li Lixing replied.

To be honest, although he said that, Li Lixing was baffled. He couldn’t understand Qiao Yu.

He originally thought that in May, Qiao Yu must have been thinking with them about how to further advance the two-dimensional extension of Chevalley’s theorem, which by strict definition belongs to the field of geometric representation theory and the Geometric Langlands Program.

As a result, Qiao Yu resolved the problem he proposed.

So young people’s energy is so abundant, doesn’t his mind have a bottleneck phase?

...

In another conference room, Princeton’s Zhang Shuwen and Lott Degen also just received this news.
