The conference room of MPIlearnedmathresearch institute, before circularboard, was filled with the person, looks that somewhatis slightly crowded.马普学会数学研究所的会议室,圆形的会议桌前坐满了人,看着稍微有些拥挤。Sitsis observing the expressions of several other people in attendancebefore the board, inFaltings'sheartwas full of the complexmood.
坐在会议桌前观察着其他几名与会者的表情,法尔廷斯的心中充满了复杂的情绪。Before thenhehas not thought.
在此之前他从来没有想过。ThisforBourbakiSchoolinternaldeliberationconference that to solve the GUTholds, toturnedforthispropositionfinal judgment on a person's life can be made only after he is dead and buriedfinallyunexpectedly„editconference”......
这场为解决大统一理论而召开的布尔巴基学派内部的研讨会议,到了最后居然变成了为这一命题盖棺定论的“审稿会议”……Dark is similar a divine intervention, from the beginning, was doomedhishope unable to achieve wishesprobablyto be the same.
冥冥之中仿佛有一种天意,就好像从一开始,就注定了他的期盼不会如愿一样。Madehimnot onlyhappyandmatter of worry, happened eventually......
令他既高兴又担心的事情,终究还是发生了……Sits many scholarsbeforeboardis silentexceptionally.
坐在会议桌前的众多学者们沉默异常。On the one handisbecauseoccupies the completepondersurprisedly, thenon the other handisbecausesurprisedtodoes not know that shouldsayanything......
一方面是因为惊讶已经占据了全部的思考,另一方面则是因为惊讶到不知道该说啥……Evenwantsto expressownviewtothismatter, must wait tillto look that the paperwas good.
就算想对这件事情发表自己的看法,也得等到把论文看完了才行。Alsotherefore, fromyesterdayto date, grasped the relativesilence that the mainstream voice of mathematics circlesright to speakis displayingtruly, so fardid not have a well-knownscholarto express the specializedviewtothismatter.
也正是因此,从昨天到今天为止,真正掌握着数学界话语权的主流声音都表现的相当沉默,到目前为止还没有一个知名学者对这件事情发表专业性的看法。„So that's how it is.”
“原来如此。”Firstbreaksin the conference roomsilent, isProfessorFefferman.
最先打破会议室内沉默的,是费弗曼教授。Is looking at carefully the paper in hand, hiseyenarrowedtwocrescent moonslits, revealed the applause that from the wrinkles, was similar tois looking at carefullythisexquisitepeerlessartware.
端详着手中的论文,他的眼睛眯成了两条月牙似的缝隙,从鱼尾纹中流露出的赞许,就如同在端详这一件精妙绝伦的艺术品。„Is the profoundandcomplicatedtruth, in the expressionformallyoftenisextremelyJane/simpleprinciple, butmotive that westudy, just as we expectedis the commonroots of allhappycohomology.”
“越是深刻而复杂的道理,在表达形式上往往越是极简主义,而我们所研究的motive,正如我们所预期的那样是一切美好的上同调的共同根源。”„Thesehappynaturesmademethink the analogy in Platocavern, thesenaturescanoriginatefrom the samething? Butisrealization of sameabstractthingindifferentlevel? Like the number and shape of direct linkuniverseroot, in the abstractsignificancethey is actually the sametype of thing, whatis differentis onlyweregards the angle of issue.”
“这些美好的性质让我想到了柏拉图洞穴的比喻,这些性质会不会都来源于同一个东西?只不过是同一个抽象的东西在不同层面上的实现?就像直达宇宙根源的数和形,在抽象的意义上它们其实是同一种东西,不同的只是我们看待问题的角度。”„...... Reallywastoowonderful.”
“……实在是太美妙了。”Whyas foris notProfessorBourbaki of school of thoughtFeffermanwill appearhere, thatwas then a long story.
至于并非布尔巴基学派的费弗曼教授为什么会出现在这里,那便说来话长了。Heattended the partial differential equationdomainacademic conferenceinParis, finallysuddenlyknewthisastonishingmatter.
原本他是在巴黎参加偏微分方程领域的学术会议,结果忽然得知了这件惊人的事情。After the mailandProfessorDeligne conducted the simpleexchange, knewhe of expert„editcommittee”alsolacks a parital differentialdomain, immediatelyrushes toherefromParis.
通过邮件与德利涅教授进行了简单的交流之后,得知“审稿委员会”还缺一名偏微分领域的专家的他,立刻从巴黎赶到了这里。Hehas readhalf the paperall the way.
一路上他已经将论文看完了一半。Butnow, healsolooked atfinally the remainingthathalf.
而现在,他总算是将剩下的那一半也看完了。Noticedeveryoneto look uptooneself, heplacedon the paper in hand the table, shrugged the arm.
注意到所有人都抬头看向了自己,他将手中的论文放在了桌子上,耸了耸肩膀。„...... ThispaperIhave lookedroughly, nomajorproblem.”
“大致上……这篇论文我已经看完了,没有什么大问题。”„Otheryouralsolightvisitsme, Imayaffirm, not onlyIlooked that...... saidownview.”
“你们也别光看着我,我可肯定不只是我自己看完了……说说自己的看法吧。”ProfessorDeligneandProfessorSagnaklooked at each other, after silenta while, said.德利涅教授和萨纳克教授相视了一眼,沉默了一会儿之后说道。„You, heafter alloncewasmystudent, Inottoodrew a conclusionconvenientlycarelessly.”
“还是你来说吧,他毕竟曾经是我的学生,我不太方便草率地下结论。”„Thereforeyoudo planto play the rubber balltome?”Made a helplessexpression, ProfessorSagnaksighed, took off the eyeglasses on bridge of the nose.
“所以你打算将皮球踢给我吗?”做了个无奈的表情,萨纳克教授叹了口气,摘下了鼻梁上的眼镜。„Regardingthissignificantproposition, evenIdo not have the meansto give an appraisalimmediately, perhaps after somewordsshouldwait tilllooks atseveral, said that but since youasked......”
“对于这种重大的命题,即使是我也没有办法立刻给出一个评价,或许有些话应该等到多看几遍之后再说的,但既然你都这么问了的话……”Stopped the moment, heclearunderthroat, exchanged the earnesttone.
停顿了片刻,他清了下嗓子,换上了认真的语气。„To be honestIwas shocked.”
“老实说我被震撼到了。”„Not onlyheregarding the understanding of Langlands programandmotivetheory, hisapplicationstovariousdomainvarioustypemathematical instruments...... has not thought that thisage, the opportunitycanletmysuchbroadening the outlook.”
“不只是他本人对于朗兰兹纲领和motive理论的理解,还有他对各领域各种类数学工具的应用……没想到到了这个年龄,还有机会能够让我如此的大开眼界。”„For the time beingdoes not commenthisdiscussion processis whether complete, mathematics methodandframe that butproposedin the entire chapterpaperonhim, perhaps since itsvaluehas exceededthe 20 th centuryweinallachievements that the algebraGeometrystudydomainachieved.”
“暂且不评论他的论证过程是否完备,但就他在整篇论文中提出的数学方法和框架,其价值恐怕已经超越了20世纪以来我们在代数几何学领域取得的一切成就。”„Compared with the paper, itis more like a work. Afterega, wehadnewHoly Bible...... not, itis perhaps greater, Holy Bibletoldus to believeanything, butitlooked like an epic, connected the pastandin the future.”
“比起论文,它更像是一本著作。自ega之后,我们拥有了新的圣经……不,它或许更伟大,圣经告诉我们应该相信什么,而它就像是一部史诗,连接了过去和未来。”
When ProfessorSagnaksaidthese words, before the board, almost allpeople the surprisedline of sightwill go tohim.
萨纳克教授说出这句话时,会议桌前几乎所有人都将惊讶的视线投向了他。EspeciallyProfessorDeligne, suddenlysurprised is completely cannot speak.
尤其是德利涅教授,一时间惊讶的尽是说不出话来。Compares others, has workedmanyhe of timeinInstitute for Advanced Study, is very familiarthisold man.
相比起其他人,在普林斯顿高等研究院已经工作了许多时间的他,是很熟悉这位老头的。Althoughis seemingly amiable, person but who canbe appraised the affirmationabovefromthisfellowhere, is actually few.
虽然看起来随和,但能够从这家伙这儿得到肯定以上评价的人,却是寥寥无几。Moreoveris very obvious, thisdefinitelyhas not only appraised.
而且很显然,这已经不仅仅只是肯定的评价了。ProfessorFaltingsopens mouth, crossessaidsome little time.
法尔廷斯教授张了张嘴,过了好一会儿才开口说道。„Comparing favorably withega...... cansomebe too exaggerating.”
“媲美ega……会不会有些太夸张了。”ega, GuelaudleapsDick's«AlgebraGeometryFoundation».
ega,格罗腾迪克的《代数几何基础》。
The teachingtextbookalthough the namesounds likeor the printed lecture of whichuniversity, butitactuallylays the modernalgebraGeometrycornerstonein fact, the scholar who was engaged inthis/shouldarea researchpresentsforHoly Bible.
虽然名字听起来像是哪个大学的教学课本或者讲义,但事实上它却是奠定现代代数几何的基石,被从事该领域研究的学者奉为圣经。No matter howsaid, the paper of issuehas not taken awaythiswithGuelauddefiniteleapsProfessorDick the greatestachievementto compare, wastooexaggerating.
不管怎么说,将这篇还不确定有没有问题的论文拿去和格罗腾迪克教授最伟大的成就去比较,还是太夸张了一些。At leastFaltingsthinks.
至少法尔廷斯是这么认为的。ProfessorSagnakis shaking the head saying: „It is not exaggerating, myviewis very conservative. In factwhatIwantto express, itregardingfutureinfluence, evenshouldinEuclid's«GeometryOriginally»above...... at leastequally matched. Nowdiscusses that thesetoo, wait and see, somepeoplewill also witnessmypredictionearlyin the future.”
萨纳克教授摇着头说:“一点也不夸张,我的说法已经很保守了。事实上我想表达的是,它对于今后的影响,甚至应该在欧几里得的《几何原本》之上……至少不相上下。只是现在讨论这些还太早了,等着瞧吧,未来有人会见证我的预言。”
Before the board, spreadgradually the sound of talking at once.
会议桌前渐渐传开了七嘴八舌的声音。Few peopleapprove the viewpoint of ProfessorSagnak, another part ofpeoplethinkthiswas too exaggerating.
一部分人认同萨纳克教授的观点,另一部分人则认为这太夸张了。Onlywhathas not disputed, Lu Zhoutrulydid an earth-shakingimportant matter.
唯一一点没有争议的是,陆舟确实干了一件惊天动地的大事。No matterrecalled the history to find such a meritto be ablewith the scholar who hecompared favorably with, thispaperis doomedto become the watershed of mathematics circles, beforeitwas bornwas a world, afteritwas born, wasanotherworld.
不管回溯历史能不能找到那么一位功绩能够与他相媲美的学者,这篇论文都注定将成为数学界的一道分水岭,在它诞生之前是一个世界,而在它诞生之后,又是另一个世界。„Thispaper......”looks atthat in handto hit the manuscript for printing, Schultzlooksaidcomplex,„Ihave no wayto draw the conclusionimmediately, could wait tillmeto go backto studyto saywellagain. Moreover......”
“这篇论文……”看着手中的那份打印稿,舒尔茨神色复杂地说道,“我没法立刻做出结论,可能得等到我回去好好研究一下再说了。另外……”
, Hecomplainedsaid.
顿了顿,他抱怨了一句说道。„Can thissignificantmathematicalproposition, placingonarxiv appeared unofficial? Mustneed a public lecture.”
“这种重大的数学命题,放在arxiv上会不会显得太不正式了?怎么也得需要一场报告会吧。”„Iapprove ofyourviewpoint,”entire journeyperformanceverysilentProfessorDeligneselected, „laterIwill send a mailtohim, proposes the suggestion in thisaspect.”
“我赞同你的观点,”全程表现的都很沉默的德利涅教授点了下头,“稍后我会发一封邮件给他,提一下这方面的建议。”„It seems likemustfly a Jinling.”
“看来又得飞一趟金陵了。”Looked at a watch, ProfessorFeffermanmumbledoneto say.
看了眼手表,费弗曼教授嘟囔了一句说道。„If we had knownIbought the airplane ticket of Jinlingdirectly, but alsocame tohereto do.”
“早知道我就直接买到金陵的机票了,还来这里干什么。”Faltings: „......”
