For these days the harvest of Lu Zhou can say quite in a big way. 这几天陆舟的收获可以说相当大。 …… …… Not only in academic level, in the personal connection significance of academic circle. 不只是在学术层面上,更是在学术圈的人脉这层意义上。 Before many , he even is in the textbook has seen the person stands in the newspaper and news in his front, this feeling is very marvelous. 很多以前他在报纸、新闻、甚至是课本中才见过的人站在他的面前,这种感觉还是很奇妙的。 For example Heym Brezis, academician and US and China academy of science foreign academician French Academy of Sciences. That «Functional analysis» that Lu Zhou looks , is the work that he compiles. And to the description and explanation of Sobolev space, making the Lu Zhou impression profound. 比如海姆布勒齐,法国科学院的院士及美国、华国科学院外籍院士。陆舟看的那本《泛函分析》,便是他编撰的著作。其中对索伯列夫空间的描述和讲解,令陆舟印象深刻。 This old gentleman speech from France is very charming, the person is also very warm, after particularly he heard Lu Zhou has read his work, to Lu Zhou that was warm, repeatedly expressed that if there is opportunity to come to France, can go to Paris tall Shizhao he. 这位来自法国的老绅士说话很风趣,人也很热情,尤其是当他听说陆舟看过他的著作之后,对陆舟那是更加的热情了,一再表示如果有机会来法国,可以去巴黎高师找他。 He collected many interesting book collections, even including Euler's draft manuscript. 他收藏了很多有趣的藏书,甚至包括欧拉的手稿。 Besides this enthusiasm open France old man, Lu Zhou also saw in Chinese mathematics circles illustrious talent Terence Tao. 除了这位热情开朗的法国老头之外,陆舟还见到了在华人数学界赫赫有名的天才陶哲轩。 With impression in not too, this often direction landscape in blog mathematical genius, what accident/surprise in reality is shy, the person who likes smiling. 和印象中的不太一样,这位常在博客上“指点江山”的数学天才,在现实中意外的是个腼腆、爱笑的人。 Moreover, he looks the Lu Zhou imagination is younger, cannot look, after this is actually 75, this year already 40. 另外,他看起来比陆舟想象中的还要年轻,丝毫看不出来,这位其实是七五后,今年已然四十。 Because was born in the reason of Australia, he will not speak the standard spoken Chinese, although will speak the Cantonese, what is very uncomfortable is Lu Zhou cannot understand, two people can only exchange in English regrettably. 因为出生在澳大利亚的缘故,他不会说普通话,虽然会说粤语,但很难受的是陆舟听不懂,两人只能遗憾地用英文交流。 Academic conference fourth day, after one hour of public lecture ended, Terence Tao invited Lu Zhou to go to his office visit. 学术会议的第四天,一小时报告会结束之后,陶哲轩邀请陆舟去了他的办公室参观。 Two people are chatting the domestic overseas matter from the beginning, the quick topic then chatted in the academic issue. 两人一开始只是聊着国内国外的事情,很快话题便聊到了学术问题上。 After exchanging several, Lu Zhou then sighs with emotion in the heart. 交流几句之后,陆舟便不禁在心中感慨。 Has to acknowledge, in mathematical domain, this fellow truly is a talent! His research area proliferates mathematical each domain, the lots he not necessarily excels, but you were very difficult to find him unable thing. 不得不承认,在数学这一领域,这家伙确实是个天才!他的研究领域遍布数学各个领域,很多东西他不一定擅长,但你很难找到他不会的东西。 Moreover in September of this year, he solved 80 years of unsettled Erdoss difference issue. In theory of numbers domain and discrete analysis math, this is a very classical issue, moreover beyond his research area. 而且就在今年九月,他破解了80年未决的埃尔德什差异问题。在数论领域和离散分析数学中,这是一个很经典的问题,而且在他的研究领域之外。 Because does not have Polignac to suspect importantly, therefore crest of wave by Lu Zhou this promising youth covering. 只不过因为没有波利尼亚克猜想重要,所以风头被陆舟这个后起之秀给盖过了而已。 „Are you studying the Goldbach's conjecture?” “你在研究哥德巴赫猜想?” Lu Zhou unexpected asking: Yes, have you also studied?” 陆舟意外的问道:“是的,你也研究过?” I have attempted, at the beginning of this year, but I soon discovered that is not I can be solved, I excel at the partial differential equations and harmonic analysis these two directions research some,” Terence Tao smiles embarrassed, acknowledged very much naturally own insufficiency , to continue saying that at that time I looked at you that paper in mathematical yearly journal, from the analysis situs principle of sieve method theory supplemented that obtained very big inspiration, is thinking, if improves, said that cannot prove this century difficult problem based on Chen theorem...... the result very regret.” “我尝试过,就在今年年初,但我很快发现那不是我能解决的,我还是更擅长偏微分方程和调和分析这两个方向的研究一些,”陶哲轩不好意思笑了笑,很大方地承认了自己的不足,继续说道,“当时我看了你在数学年刊上的那篇论文,从筛法理论的拓扑学原理补充中得到了很大的启发,想着如果改进一下,说不准能在陈氏定理的基础上证明这一世纪难题……结果很遗憾。” „Does sieve method road still walk does not pass?” Lu Zhou knits the brows to ask. “筛法这条路依然走不通吗?”陆舟皱眉问道。 Through sieve method theory that the analysis situs supplements, originally is one of his alternative plans, Terence Tao's view, to him without doubt is a bad news. 通过拓扑学补充的筛法理论,本来是他的备选方案之一,陶哲轩的这个说法,对他来说无疑是个坏消息。 Walks does not pass...... or me not to walk to pass,” Terence Tao shakes the head, takes the ball pen to write down several lines of mathematical formulas on the paper conveniently. “走不通……或者说我没走通,”陶哲轩摇了摇头,拿起圆珠笔在纸上随手写下了几行算式。 ∑s ( am ) ≤ ∑ an, an takes counts willfully 【∑s(am)≤∑an,其中an取任意数】 S ( a ) = ∑ ane ( an ) , e ( x) = e ^( 2 π xi) .m,n∈z,a1...... an is one group of mold 1 good distributed real numbers......】 【s(a)=∑ane(an),e(x)=e^(2πxi).m,n∈z,a1……an是一组模一良分布的实数……】 【......】 【……】 Stares at the mathematical formula on paper, Lu Zhou is feeling the chin, deeply frowns, is lost in thought. 盯着纸上的算式,陆舟摸着下巴,眉头紧锁,陷入了沉思。 Terence Tao stopped the pen, smiles saying: My this was also showed off meager skills before an expert, this method was you invents.” 陶哲轩停下了笔,笑了笑说道:“我这也算是班门弄斧了,这套方法还是你发明的。” No, what introduces the big sieve method the analysis situs theory is Professor Selberg, I did the small work in his foundation, but you also made a big improvement obviously.” Lu Zhou smiles , to continue to look to the expression on paper, said looking pensive, „, since am is the good distribution, why r ^ (-1 ) ∑s ( am ) isn't regarded as the ∫s ( a ) da Riemann and?” “不,将拓扑学理论引入大筛法的是泽尔贝格教授,我只是在他的基础上做了一点微小的工作,而你显然也做了不小的改进。”陆舟笑了笑,继续看向了纸上的表达式,若有所思道,“既然am是良分布,为什么不把r^(-1)∑s(am)看做是∫s(a)da的黎曼和?” Terence Tao eyes slightly one bright: Then?” 陶哲轩眼睛微微一亮:“然后呢?” Value r = 1, we can obtain by Kesey Schwartz inequality......” said that does not talk clearly, Lu Zhou takes to begin a stroke, wrote in the paper general own idea. “取值r=1,由柯西-施瓦茨不等式我们可以得到……”说是说不清楚的,陆舟拿起笔,在纸上将自己的想法写了出来。 S ( a1 ) ≤ n ∑ an 【s(a1)≤n∑an】 Terence Tao's eyebrow wrinkles slightly, said looking pensive: Your idea is very interesting...... we to need to seek for n( Delta) value, can find.” 陶哲轩的眉毛微微皱起,若有所思地说道:“你的想法很有趣……我们需要寻找一个n(δ)值,就可以找到。” Lu Zhou feels the chin nod saying: Yes, will not compare n + δ ^( -1) is bigger, but the trouble lies in n.” 陆舟摸着下巴点头道:“是的,不会比n+δ^(-一)大很多,但麻烦在于n。” Continued a while silent, two people also raised the head, smile. 沉默持续了一会儿,两人同时抬起头,相视一笑。 Smiling face, as if by prior agreement somewhat bitter and astringent. 笑容,不约而同的有些苦涩。 Really is invalid! 果然还是行不通! Threw the ball pen on the table, Terence Tao sighed, says with emotion. 将圆珠笔丢在了桌子上,陶哲轩叹了口气,感慨道。 „The Goldbach's conjecture was too truly difficult, perhaps must put again ten years, even 20 years. Perhaps you can under the attempt the circle method, to be honest, the big bolter send this road possibly truly to walk do not pass.” “哥德巴赫猜想确实太难了,也许还得再放个十年,甚至二十年。或许你可以尝试下圆法,说实话,大筛发这条路可能确实走不通了。” Lu Zhou shakes the head: I find time under the research, but I return to the bolter have not lost heart completely, perhaps it still has the potential that we have not detected.” 陆舟摇了摇头:“我抽空研究下吧,不过我对筛发还没有完全死心,也许它还存在着我们没有发觉到的潜力。” You, or comes to Berkeley Branch school to teach, here environment is good, we can study this topic together......, if you do not dislike me to be stupid.” Terence Tao smiles shyly. “你要不来伯克利分校教书吧,这里的环境还不错,咱们可以一起研究这个课题……如果你不嫌我笨的话。”陶哲轩腼腆地笑了笑。 Lu Zhou: „......” 陆舟:“……” Ok, 230 iq dislike itself is too stupid, what to do do you let these iq in the average people of 100 high and low fluctuation? 可以的,230的iq嫌自己太笨,你让那些iq在100上下浮动的普通人怎么办? His first realizing, with too modest person conversation is also a very headache matter. 他还是第一次意识到,和太谦虚的人交谈也是一件挺头疼的事情。 Lu Zhou coughed the sound to say lightly: My doctor has not graduated, the years first meeting will go to Princeton to read probably next year abundantly.” 陆舟轻咳了声说:“我的博士还没有毕业,大概明年年初会去普林斯顿读博。” You have not graduated unexpectedly,” Terence Tao surprise looked at Lu Zhou one, good...... the China university also is really strict.” “你居然还没毕业,”陶哲轩诧异地看了陆舟一眼,“好吧……华国的大学还真是严格。” Lu Zhou: Master who I studied for at the beginning of this year.” 陆舟:“我今年年初才读的硕士。” „, That can understand actually, Terence Tao understands smiles, I studied for the master in the past time is also, a half year can graduate obviously, the teacher must keep my one year to release people.” “哦哦,那倒是可以理解,”陶哲轩理解地笑了笑,“我当年读硕士的时候也是,明明半年就可以毕业了,导师非要留我一年才放人。” Saying, Terence Tao wrote down oneself mailbox on previously that scratch paper, gave Lu Zhou, said: Later the mail relation, has any new discovery, I ask you to exchange again.” 说着,陶哲轩在先前那张草稿纸上写下了自己的邮箱,递给了陆舟,笑着说:“以后邮件联系吧,有什么新的发现,我再找你交流。” Good.” “好的。” Lu Zhou nods with a smile, receives the sloppy manuscript paper, left behind own mailbox on another paper conveniently, then said goodbye with Terence Tao. 陆舟笑着点了点头,收起了草稿纸,随手在另一张纸上留下了自己的邮箱,便与陶哲轩告辞。 Walks in the direction of hotel, on the Lu Zhou road has been thinking the issue, was puzzling. 往酒店的方向走的时候,陆舟路上一直在想着刚才的问题,百思不得其解。 Thinks, belly hungry. 想着想着,肚子就饿了起来。 Put out cell phone to look at the next time, sees the time that the distance served a meal also to have a while, he then turned around to enter a rib row of shop of street. 拿出手机看了下时间,见距离开饭的时间还有一会儿,他便转身走进了一家街边的肋排店。 After selecting a rib row of meal, Lu Zhou takes out 19 US dollars pocket money to place on the counter, then looked for a position to sit down. 点了一份肋排套餐后,陆舟取出19美元的零钱放在柜台上,便找了个位置坐下。 The US meat price is cheap, he always felt that does not have small advantage many. 都说美国肉价便宜,他总感觉也没便宜多少。 A rib arranges 19 US dollars, converts the rmb words, 110 upward. 一份肋排19美元,换算成rmb的话,也得110往上了。 When he is thinking, a somewhat thin and small service person, carries one to have the wash bowl that wide tray, placed on his table slightly strenuously. 就在他这么想着的时候,一位有些瘦小的服务员,端着一张足足有脸盆那么宽的盘子,略微吃力地放在了他的桌上。 Saw the thing in this tray, the eyebrow of Lu Zhou twitched ruthlessly under. 看到这盘子里的东西,陆舟的眉毛狠狠抽搐了下。 My goodness, he also thinks that here rib platoon is that he has seen in the restuarant of one rib, the result has not thought that in the tray is suspending entire leaf of rib platoon! Cooks the soup the words, sufficed to cook several cauldrons! 好家伙,他还以为这里的肋排是那种他在西餐厅里见过的一根肋骨的那种,结果没想到,盘子里摆着整整一扇肋排!炖汤的话,都够炖几大锅了! In addition together enough one jin (0.5 kg) is scattering the roasting potato of butter and sour cream, as well as one bowl of Mexico cooked the red bean and added the mysterious thick soup of cream probably...... 再加上一块足足有一斤重的撒着黄油和酸奶油的烤土豆,以及一碗墨西哥炖红豆和大概是加了奶油的神秘浓汤…… Such a looked, this meat price is truly cheap. 这么一看,这肉价确实挺便宜的。 However, this obviously is not the share that a person can finish eating...... 不过,这明显不是一个人能吃完的份…… He knows finally, US why so many fat people. 他总算是知道,美国为什么这么多胖子了。 Mister, food do you also satisfy?” “先生,请问食物您还满意吗?” Hears some people to inquire, Lu Zhou thinks suddenly, oneself to the tip, had not then taken out two US dollars pocket money from the package probably conveniently. 听到有人询问,陆舟忽然想起来,自己好像还没给小费,便从随手包里取出了两美元零钱。 However at this moment, he suddenly discovered, this service person...... 不过就在这时,他忽然发现,这位服务员…… As if somewhat looks familiar? 似乎有些眼熟? Lu Zhou gave in the tip her hand, the doubts asked: „Do you work here?” 陆舟将小费递给了她的手中,疑惑问道:“你在这里打工?” Un.” Vera nods to say embarrassed. “嗯。”薇拉不好意思点头道。 Doesn't have the scholarship?” “没有奖学金吗?” Before Lu Zhou, makes a concurrent job for the matter of school expense and living expenses, therefore had not thought that this has anything is not good. 陆舟以前也为了学费和生活费的事情做个兼职,所以并没有觉得这有什么不好。 However what makes his accidental/surprised is, he remembers that the scholarship of US is very good to apply, do not say that this type of imo gold medal recommends for admission to school the player, so long as is not the hobby is too widespread, does not spend the one cent to read off the university is not the difficult matter. 不过让他意外的是,他记得美国的奖学金是很好申请的,更不要说这种imo金牌保送选手,只要不是爱好太广泛,不花一分钱把大学读完都不是什么难事。 Vera has not thought will obviously bump into Lu Zhou here, smiles embarrassed, said low voice: Scholarship some......” 薇拉显然也没想到会在这里碰到陆舟,不好意思地笑了笑,小声说:“奖学金是有的……” If to save money traveling, or is works the experience life, definitely natural saying. 如果是为了存钱旅游,或者是打工体验生活,肯定会大大方方的说出来。 Saw her not to continue, Lu Zhou can also guess correctly probably, mostly was initially similar reason, then changed this serious topic. 见她没有继续说下去,陆舟大概也能猜到,多半是和自己当初类似的原因,便岔开了这个沉重的话题。 „Are you a Russian?” “你是俄罗斯人?” Vera expression is somewhat subtle, shakes the head. 薇拉表情有些微妙,摇了摇头。 Sees her slightly awkward expression, Lu Zhou always felt...... 看到她那略微尴尬的表情,陆舟总感觉…… Oneself as if asked question that should not ask? 自己似乎问了一个更不该问的问题? At this moment, some latter kitchen people shouted the sound her name. 就在这时,后厨有人喊了声她的名字。 After Vera hears oneself name, then complied with one rapidly, bowed with Lu Zhou low voice said the sound sorry, then ran hurriedly. 薇拉听到自己的名字后,迅速回头应了一声,小声鞠躬和陆舟说了声对不起,便匆匆忙忙地跑了回去。
