I Just Want to Be a Quiet Top Student

Several questions raised by Shen Qi have been taken seriously by the school. The School of Physics requires teachers to arrange a question-and-answer class at least once a month. They must answer the questions in person, and graduate students are not allowed to handle them on their behalf. In the process of answering questions, teachers must answer any academic questions of undergraduates with love and patience. This requirement is not harsh, and it will be put into trial operation from next month.

The food quality in the dining hall of Nangang Polytechnic University has been significantly improved, and the price of meals has been reduced appropriately.

After the improvement, Shen Qi ate breakfast in the dining hall, and the big char siew buns cost only 1 yuan each. The taste was authentic, not inferior to the morning tea shop outside.

The Agricultural University yogurt here only sells for 80 cents a piece, and it costs more than one yuan to buy a yogurt of the same type at the main school of the Southern Agricultural University.

The most wonderful thing is the shrimp dumpling, the shrimp seems to be alive, it dances between your lips and teeth, it is so delicious that you can't stop it.

The students of Nangang Polytechnic University returned to the canteen. It is just necessary to fall in love outside, and the money is almost spent. The cheap and delicious canteen of the school is the best destination.

"Shen Qi, is it better to stay in your hometown?" Academician Shi had breakfast with Shen Qi.

Shen Qi stuffed a shrimp dumpling into the mouth: "That is."

"You haven't thought about returning to your hometown? It's hard work to fly in the air, right?" Academician Shi asked tentatively.

Academician Shi's intentions Shen Qi could understand immediately, but he really couldn't give a definite answer now: "Hey, hard life."

"The students of the Institute of Technology love you very much. All in all, I hope you can go home and visit often." Academician Shi focused on the "hometown card", and he thought Shen Qi was a person who loved his hometown.

Shen Qi: "After the project in the United States is finished, my girlfriend has graduated with a Ph.D. It's almost time for me to return to China. Academician Shi, I really believe in fate, and I will meet you from thousands of miles away by fate, just follow fate."

"What zodiac sign do you believe in fate so much, Pisces?" Academician Shi is knowledgeable and talented, and he still pays attention to horoscopes even at an old age.

Shen Qi said: "It's almost a Pisces, I'm an Aquarius."

"Aquarius men believe in fate?" Academician Shi shook his head with a smile, and then said: "Shen Qi, you are a typical Aquarius, rational but with strong innovative thinking, extremely smart and unpredictable. And I, a Pisces, is a real Aquarius. I believe in fate, that's right, let's go with fate."

Shen Qi had a great time staying in his hometown Nangang City for more than ten days. After spending a few days with his parents, he returned to Princeton by plane.

"Little Yezi, do you miss me?"

"a little bit."

"Just a little?"

"I'm about to plead."

Ouye's doctoral dissertation "Proof of the Jesmanovich Conjecture" has entered the final stage, and she is in the process of final revision after consulting with her supervisor, Linden Strausch.

"That's right, the pace is fine. I wish you a smooth pass in your doctoral defense." Shen Qi's plan is to complete Hodge's conjecture project this year. Ouye will get a PhD from Princeton, and then the two will return to China together.

Ouye is progressing smoothly and is expected to pass his doctoral defense this semester.

The Hodge conjecture led by Shen Qi also proceeded as planned. Yu Lei and Ralph strictly carried out the tasks assigned by Shen Qi for the algebraic geometry section. Shen Qi checked the progress every week. Have this confidence.

Shen Qi is waiting, waiting for the final research results of Yanda Lu Guozhen's team and Director Wu's team at Morningside Mathematics Center.

In late March, Ouye ushered in an important day, perhaps the most important day in her school career.

Ouye participated in the doctoral defense meeting today, which is also an important day for Shen Qi.

Before going to the defense meeting, Shen Qi encouraged Ouye: "Come on, little leaf, you can do it."

"Yeah!" Ouye was full of energy, and she had prepared nearly two years for today's doctoral defense.

"Come on, take the medicine." Shen Qi helped Ouye take his daily pills.

"En!" Ouye finished taking the medicine, and her combat power continued to improve. She and Shen Qi went to the mathematics building hand in hand.

Shen Qi had already found out clearly that Ouye had three defense counsels, and her Ph.D. supervisor, Professor Linden Strausch, was not on the list of defense counsel.

Shen Qi is even more incapable of being Ouye's respondent, he is going to audit today, he has the qualifications.

Shen Qi said to Ouye, "Little Ye Zi, you are the best, you can do it", but he was actually a little uneasy.

Ouye's written ability in writing a thesis is in line with Princeton's doctoral graduation standard, but Ouye's oral expression ability... Shen Qi is worried about this.

A conference room in the Mathematics Building was arranged as the site of the defense meeting, and three defense officers and two auditor professors entered the scene first.

Shen Qi was very familiar with the three responding officers, and the three of them were full professors in the Mathematics Department of Pudong University.

Another auditing professor who is more familiar with Shen Qi is Linden Strausch, Ouye's doctoral supervisor.

After Ouye entered the arena later, in principle, Shen Qi and Lindenstrausch were only allowed to listen and not to ask questions, let alone give Ouye any academic hints.

Each of the five professors holds a paper, which is Ouye's doctoral thesis "Proof of the Jesmanovich Conjecture".

The three respondent had received Ouye's thesis two weeks in advance, and the auditing professor had just seen it.

Of course, Professor Lindenstrausch is very familiar with this paper, and he guided Ouye to complete it.

The only person who hasn't read the full text of the paper is Shen Qi, so he can read it in advance if he wants to.

But until Ouye finished writing this thesis, Shen Qi didn't read the text at all. He didn't want to interfere with Ouye's thinking logic. He very much hoped that Ouye could complete this project alone.

"So Ouye proved the Jesmanovich conjecture? I mean complete proof." Shen Qi asked Lindenstrausch beside him.

Lindenstrausch nodded: "I revised it several times in the middle, and I confirmed the final conclusion. She completely proved this conjecture."

"Elon, how much have you helped her?" Shen Qi asked.

"Based on a percentage estimate, more than 80% of the work was done by Ou alone. And you, Qi, did you provide her with some inspiration?" Lindenstrausch asked.

"You won't believe me if I tell you, I didn't provide her with any help on this conjecture." Shen Qi felt that Ou was the strongest. She completed more than 80% of the proof work of Jesmanovich's conjecture by herself.

The Jesmanovich conjecture is a problem in number theory. Its academic status cannot be compared with the Riemann conjecture, but it is also an important unsolved topic in the number theory field.

For a Diophantine equation given positive integers a, b, c: a^x+b^y=c^z, x, y, z∈N

Only positive integer solutions x=y=z=2

This is the Jesmanovich conjecture.

Jesmanovich himself proved a special case of this conjecture, which has not yet been fully proved.

Shen Qi quickly flipped through Ouye's thesis, but couldn't find any flaws for the time being.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the door of the defense meeting site opened, Ouye entered, and the defense meeting began.
