Chapter 302 Resolution of the International Mathematical Union

Asanguo, New Delhi.

Well, since the war of aggression turned into a war of collapse, the hearts of the people of Asan collapsed. After being frightened, they added a "new" in front of Delhi and became New Delhi, in order to break away from the past.

After learning that Professor Zhao Mo of China had rejected their first invitation, Ragutanna, the current president of the International Mathematical Union, decided to invite a second time and personally issued the invitation to show his sincerity.

Ragutanna is a famous mathematician from Asan Kingdom, especially in the research of algebraic groups.

Of course, don’t be intimidated by the title of President of the International Federation. This title is just that valuable, because according to convention, this title will be given to the famous person from which country the next International Mathematical Congress will be held. Mathematician serves. As for who it is, it is up to the country's internal mathematical conference to decide.

For example, when the 2002 International Mathematics Congress was held in Beijing, my country, the chairmanship of the federation was given to a Chinese mathematician, who was then Academician Wu.

Then the 1990 session was held in Xiaobenzi, so the chairman of the federation was Xiaobenzi mathematician Komatsu Hikosaburo.

"What, rejected again?"

Soon, Ragutanna got a very ugly result. His personal invitation was still rejected by Zhao Mo.

Ragutanna was immediately very angry: "What does he want to do?"

His subconscious reaction was that Zhao Mo was "arrogant and proud" and was deliberately putting on airs.

Of course he knew about Zhao Mo's reputation and achievements. This time, the International Mathematical Union also decided to invite Zhao Mo to give a 45-minute report and decided to award him a grand prize.

In this, as chairman, he actually voted against it.

However, in the International Mathematical Union, the decision to award an award is not something that the president alone can decide. The majority must obey the majority. The voting rights in the federation are divided into five levels according to the size of the country and the development of mathematics: one, two, three, four, and five, indicating the number of voters. The first-level voting rights only have one voter, that is, one vote. By analogy, five levels of voting rights means that there are five voters and five voting rights.

In the federation, there are a total of ten countries with five levels of voting rights, namely China, Maple Leaf Country, Gallic Chicken, Hans Cat, Little Yi, Pasta, Little Book, Big Maozi, John Bull, and America. , without them Asan Kingdom.

In this vote, the ten countries with five-level voting rights basically voted for Zhao Mo, and Lagu Tanna couldn't stop him at all.

La Gutana also vaguely felt that something was wrong. After all, America and Xiaobenzi had too many mathematicians, but this time, for the first time, two Chinese mathematicians were given a report, one was Zhao Mo, and the other was from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Academician Professor Peng also unanimously decided to award the grand prize to Zhao Mo, eliminating another strong competitor from Gallic Chicken.

However, he didn't think too much about it.

After all, the proof of the ABC conjecture really amazed the world. More than three years have passed and everyone has recognized Zhao Mo's achievements. It is normal to receive such treatment.

As a mathematician who relies on facts to speak his mind, and as the president of this federation, I still have to show my courage.

But now, Ragutanna is angry!

What Zhao Mo did was a complete contempt for the International Congress of Mathematicians and a contempt for all mathematicians around the world. How could he? How dare he?

Another unspoken reason is that they finally managed to get the International Congress of Mathematicians to be held in their country this time. How could it be disrupted like this?

Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, Ragutana decided that he could not allow this to happen and he had to take action.

Therefore, on the same day, Lagutanna held an emergency conference call to discuss the response plan for Zhao Mo's refusal to participate.

"I think that since he won't come, we should give up on him, choose other mathematicians to give the report, and award the grand prize to other mathematicians~"

LaGutana said his thoughts straight to the point, with stern words and a firm tone.

"It's nothing. Didn't Perelman, the great Maoist mathematician, also reject it? In the end, the prize was still given to him."

Wang Yun, as a member of the Chinese Mathematical Council and also a member of this session of the International Mathematical Union, immediately retorted online.

Wang Yun is a mathematics professor at Nanjing University. She is not familiar with Zhao Mo and is not well known to the outside world. However, this does not prevent her from fighting for the rights of Chinese mathematicians at the International Mathematical Union.

in the country, we are all competing against each other.

But in foreign countries, we all have a common external policy, and of course we have to uphold it.

Ragutanna's expression suddenly changed and he was about to refute.

But before he could say anything, Wiles, a mathematician from America, had already retorted: "Professor Wang, it is precisely because of the previous incident of Perelman refusing to accept the award that we should put an end to this kind of thing." Phenomenon, otherwise everyone will follow the same example, then is it necessary to hold this International Congress of Mathematicians? If he does not come to participate this time, then I think his qualifications must be disqualified. Moreover, this time he must participate in person and cannot be in person. Participate via video!”

In addition, mathematician Kazuo Sato from Xiaobenzi also firmly opposed: "Yes, I think this behavior is an insult to all mathematicians. I strongly demand that his reporting qualifications be cancelled, and that the award be cancelled."

Lagu Tanna's originally ugly face immediately softened, and then he showed a faint smile.

He didn't need to speak anymore, they had become his mouthpiece.

After them, mathematicians such as Gallic Chicken and John Bull also expressed their condemnation of this behavior, saying that if Zhao Mo did not come to participate, everything would be cancelled.

Wang Yun's expression changed: "..."

In the 2006 session, the mathematician Perelman refused to attend the conference and refused to accept the Fields Medal even after receiving it. However, the International Mathematical Union did not take any action because of this.

Afterwards, many scientists not only did not attack Perelman for this, but instead defended him, saying that he was a pure mathematician and therefore did not like such "publicity" activities and awards.

Therefore, when she heard Lagu Tanna's remarks after going online, she didn't actually think it was anything. She just thought it was just an hour's incident. She never expected that this time it would cause such a big reaction!

This is completely different from the situation last year! Several other mathematicians from China also changed their expressions and found it difficult to speak.

Judging from the situation, this has made people angry.

"Strange, did Professor Zhao offend them?"

Wang Yun and others couldn't help but think.

Unfortunately, no matter what they thought, the emergency meeting finally unanimously decided that they would do Zhao Mo's work. If Zhao Mo comes, everything will be easy to talk about; if Zhao Mo doesn't come, everything will be cancelled.

After the meeting, Wang Yun and others held another small meeting, and finally decided to let Wang Yun take action and go to the capital to talk to Zhao Mo in person.

"I'd better go to Director Zhou, Professor Qiu, and Principal Gu from Wudaokou first. If possible, I'll go to the leaders of the Ministry of Education to ask about the situation~"

Wang Yun expressed her opinion, but came to the capital on a business trip the next day.

The first person Wang Yun went to find was Zhou Zuojian, the dean of the Department of Mathematics at Pudaokou. He was very popular in the domestic mathematics community in recent years and his words were very important.

In the past, Zhou Zuojian relied on his strength, but now he relies on his strength as well as Zhao Mo, who brought Zhao Mo out of nowhere.

Although everyone knows that Zhao Mo did not become a disciple, but what does it matter whether he does or not? Anyway, what Zhao Mo wears is the Wudaokou label, which is Zhou Zuojian’s label.

Due to the need for confidentiality, after Wang Yun found Zhou Zuojian, he did not say what award he would award to Zhao Mo. He only mentioned the grand prize and then asked Zhou Zuojian to make connections.

Zhou Zuojian smiled and said: "Professor Wang, I did his job before you came here, but if he doesn't go, I can't tie him up, right?"

Wang Yun said blankly: "No, Director Zhou, I just said that the award that Professor Zhao won this time will create the history of our Chinese people in the field of mathematics. It is very important. It doesn't mean that the whole country is paying attention." That's too much, are you just letting it go?"

She almost didn't say it clearly.

However, Zhou Zuojian still had a smile on his face and confirmed again: "Zhao Mo has taken the weight and is determined not to give up, so Professor Wang, don't waste your efforts."

Wang Yun: "..."

Good guy, what happened to these two masters and disciples?

Are they so disliked by the International Congress of Mathematicians now?

After hesitating for a while, Wang Yun did not go to Zhao Mo directly, but went to Principal Gu.

Principal Gu: "If you don't want to go, don't go. He is still young and will have many opportunities in the future."

Wang Yun was a little dumbfounded: "..."

Not believing in evil, she went to the Ministry of Education to explain the matter.

As a result, the leader of the Ministry of Education personally replied to her: "Professor Zhao must have his reasons for not going, so it is not convenient for us to come forward. How about Professor Wang, do you do Professor Zhao's work?"

Wang Yun was numb.

No, how come all these people have changed their gender?

In recent years, aren’t everyone keen on participating in international conferences and winning international awards? These are all political tasks! Many professors and scholars are unwilling to fight for these things, so they are forced to fight.

Why did he change his gender when he arrived at Zhao Mo's place? From top to bottom, he showed his attitude of not giving in but giving in.

Is co-writing Zhao Mo very special?

With these doubts in mind, Wang Yun finally went to Zhao Mo and asked him face to face.

It was late at night when I met Zhao Mo, at Zhao Mo's home. Zhao Mo had just returned from the astronaut training center.

"Good guy, you are so excited to be an astronaut, but you don't have time to attend the International Congress of Mathematicians?"

Seeing Zhao Mo returning home feeling a little exhausted, Wang Yun complained in his heart.

After a few pleasantries, Wang Yun asked her question.

"Professor Wang, I still want to thank you for coming here to communicate this matter~"

Zhao Mo smiled first, and then said: "I have my own reasons for not attending this conference. As for what my reasons are, I can't say. Of course, if the federation can agree to my participation via video, I can still take the time to attend." It’s time to participate.”

Wang Yun: "..."

Video participation?

Well, America's Professor Wiles has blocked this possibility in advance, so no.
