Volume 1: Student Life Chapter 430 Before the Lecture Begins
After dinner, Yang Yiyi sorted out some information and went out again.
Professor Weiss had a research topic waiting for her.
Chen Zhou clearly discovered that after Professor Weiss came back, Yang Yiyi's study and research became even busier.
This is also a good thing. Chen Zhou believes that with Yang Yiyi's talent , she will definitely be able to reach a very high level.
Although their research directions in physics are no longer so similar.
But in Chen Zhou's plan, it won't be long before the two of them will be in the same research group.
After Yang Yiyi left, Chen Zhou, Liu Maosheng and Zeng Zigu chatted briefly for a while and then left.
Several people went straight to the small auditorium where Chen Zhou gave his last report.
There are about fifteen minutes left until two o'clock.
The small auditorium was already packed with quite a few people.
There are young students and also older professors.
Looking at this scene, Chen Zhou realized how charming his mentor was.
No wonder, Professor Artin himself is a master of algebraic geometry of this century.
It is no surprise that his lectures attract so many people.
Chen Zhou heard many students talking about what might be discussed in today's lecture.
Chen Zhou also discovered that there were many students from the neighboring school, as well as the next next next school.
Looking at the two students in front of him who had skipped classes from Harvard, Chen Zhou subconsciously looked to his side.
Liu Maosheng and Zeng Zigu naturally heard the conversation between the two students in front of them. They quickly explained to Chen Zhou who was looking at them: "Chen Zhou, don't get me wrong. We don't have classes in the afternoon, and the instructor didn't arrange anything, so we came here..."
Chen Zhou retracted his gaze and said with a strange expression: "I didn't ask anything, why are you so anxious to explain? Or is explanation a cover-up?"
Liu Maosheng: "Gan..."
Zeng Zigu: "Uh..."
Chen Zhou suddenly laughed.
But then, Chen Zhou's smile disappeared.
Liu Maosheng and Zeng Zigu's expressions also turned serious.
The two Harvard alumni in the front row were talking about Professor Arting's new graduate student, Chen Zhou.
His words were full of disdain for Chen Zhou.
When Chen Zhou and Liu Maosheng were talking, they were speaking Chinese, so the two people in the front row didn't understand.
I only heard the two sounds "Chen Zhou".
Therefore, the two began to talk about Chen Zhou.
It is no longer news that Chen Zhou became a student of Professor Arting, a contemporary master of algebraic geometry.
Not to mention that students at MIT know about it, even students at Harvard next door know almost everything about it.
After all, if we really talk about the status of living mathematicians, Professor Artin can definitely be ranked at the top.
These two Harvard alumni wondered how Chen Zhou, who studied number theory, could become a student of a master of algebraic geometry?
Regardless of the relationship between number theory and algebraic geometry, they think that Chen Zhou's cross-field worship of masters is just the same as previous Chinese students, who just want to gild themselves.
Moreover, algebraic geometry is the core of modern mathematics, and they think that Chen Zhou probably hasn't even gotten started.
Who knows, you might not even have finished reading the Bible of algebraic geometry, “Principles of Algebraic Geometry ”.
Anyway, the two were discussing Chen Zhou's various ignorances, and even the Cramer's Theorem and Jebov's Theorem that Chen Zhou proved turned out to be just good luck.
Listening to the conversation between the two, the smile on Chen Zhou's face disappeared, but his heart was still calm.
He doesn't like to argue about this.
He prefers to speak with facts.
Chen Zhou's calmness made Liu Maosheng and Zeng Zigu very indignant.
Liu Maosheng asked Chen Zhou to attend the afternoon lecture.
The professor giving the lecture is also Chen Zhou's mentor.
This Harvard alumnus who comes to attend the lecture, if nothing else, should at least learn to respect others, right?
What is Cramer's theorem? It's nothing more than counting the intervals between prime numbers on your fingers.
I really don't know what kind of brain could say this?
If you could really prove a world-class mathematical conjecture by counting on your fingers, you wouldn't be here.
Chen Zhou noticed the two of them and was about to lose control of his expression. He patted their shoulders gently and smiled at them, indicating that it was okay.
Anyway, the mouth is on someone else's body, so you can say whatever you want.
Although what he said was not very nice, it was not wrong.
Chen Zhou really has no achievements in the field of algebraic geometry.
If you really want to slap someone in the face, you have to wait until you have achieved something.
At this moment, Chen Zhou also clearly realized what kind of troubles he would encounter if he had an absolute big shot as his mentor.
Chen Zhou was very sure that there were many people who held the same idea as these two Harvard alumni.
Perhaps they can recognize Chen Zhou's achievements in number theory.
But they believed deep down that it was impossible for such a young man like Chen Zhou to be proficient in both the field of algebraic geometry.
That would take up the resources of the master of algebraic geometry, which is a complete waste!
Liu Maosheng and Zeng Zigu wanted to say something else, but at this time, Professor Ating appeared.
It's almost two o'clock.
As soon as Professor Atin appeared, the crowded auditorium suddenly became quiet.
This is the most basic respect for a mathematical master.
Professor Ating politely greeted everyone present: "Dear students and colleagues, good afternoon, welcome to today's lecture."
As Ating finished speaking, applause began to break out from the audience.
Ating smiled and signaled not to applaud.
Then he turned on the projector and started playing the slides of the lecture.
Chen Zhou looked up at the content projected on the screen and was slightly surprised.
Professor Artin 's lecture was about graded ring theory.
This is different from what he asked himself as soon as they met, which was to study non-commutative rings from a geometric perspective.
Noticing Chen Zhou's expression, Liu Maosheng came over quietly and said, "I forgot to tell you that today's lecture is about graded ring theory."
Chen Zhou also asked quietly: "Are you studying ring theory?"
"No." Liu Maosheng shook his head, but then he looked at Professor Ating on the stage with shining eyes, "But I really have this idea, Junior Brother, would you like to introduce me to him?"
Chen Zhou looked at Liu Maosheng: "Are you sure?"
Liu Maosheng looked expectant but hesitant, and finally said, "Forget it..."
Chen Zhou shook his head slightly: "Actually, ring theory is not as difficult as you think."
Liu Maosheng didn't say anything.
Abstract algebra such as ring theory belongs to both the field of algebraic number theory and the field of algebraic geometry.
General problems may not be difficult, but it is not so easy to make a breakthrough.
But at present, the research on Artin rings and Noether rings also requires new breakthroughs.
Liu Maosheng didn't think he could break out.
