Chapter 404 (2/2)

Good morning, hull Opening the office door, Cheng Nuo yawns and greets hull.

Hull a Leng, ”you and the teacher asked for half a month's holiday, how less than a week to come back?”

Cheng Nuo waved his hand, ”don't mention it. Something happened. How about it? Have you submitted the research paper? ”

Both Cheng Nuo and Professor Fresnel have something to do, so hull will be assigned to finish the work on Riemannian manifolds, and Cheng Nuo also asked.

”It's almost there.” Hull replied.

”OK, I'll do it with you.” Cheng Nuo asked hull for a package of documents and went back to his computer desk to work.

When going to the bathroom, Cheng Nuo takes a look through the crack in the big compartment door.

No one.

So Professor Fresnel should still be in Philadelphia.

…………

Cheng Nuo is right to guess that Professor Fresnel is still staying in Jinkai hotel.

As the only Philippine prize winner majoring in geometry at this conference, Fresnel's role in this conference is more than just attending an opening ceremony.

In addition to an academic report, Professor Fresnel also participated in several discussions and exchange activities in the geometry branch.

There are also some younger generations who want to be familiar with Professor Fresnel, and they often come and nag him.

The sixth day of the conference.

Professor Fresnel has just entered a meeting room of a branch of geometry. However, he finds that the dozen mathematicians in charge of geometry are discussing with each other something in a surprised tone.

”Oh, no, this idea can't be said to be strange, but it's ingenious. Just using a few cross projections, we can connect the arithmetic of algebraic varieties with the topology of complex algebraic varieties. It's amazing!””I have heard that it was a young man in his twenties who put forward this theorem.”

”More than that, he is young. The key is that he is just a waiter in this hotel. He must have no orthodox mathematics education, so he can easily put forward this extremely important theorem. Think about me now in my fifties. Shame, shame!”

”I can't help but think of Schulz who has been in his early twenties for more than ten years. He also made a great success at the International Conference of mathematicians. I wonder if I can see him again on the podium of fields prize?”

…………

Professor Fresnel did not know what to say.

He sat down and asked the mathematician on his side, ”lance, what are you talking about?”

Lance turned his head and asked Professor Fresnel. He said politely, ”Mr. Fresnel, we are talking about an interesting incident of yesterday.”

Lance went on to explain, ”just yesterday at a lecture given by Professor Russell, at the last question session, Professor Russell called up a waiter who was sitting in the last row to ask questions.”

”It's not the most important point. The key is that the waiter really asked questions and said nothing to Professor Russell. Finally, he walked up to the stage and deduced a theorem on the blackboard

”A theorem?” Professor Fresnel was very curious. ”Listen to your conversation just now. That theorem must be great, isn't it?”

”That's right.” Lance nodded, ”if there is no accident, that Cheng Nuo theorem is likely to become one of the top ten theorems in mathematics this year.”

”Wait a minute.” Professor Fresnel's focus obviously fell on the ten theorems. He frowned and asked, ”what's the name of that theorem?”

”Cheng Nuo theorem?” Lance did not understand. It was the name of a theorem. It was nothing special. ”The proposer of the theorem did not name the theorem himself, so he named it after his name according to the Convention.”
