The next day, 8 AM.
Intercontinental Hotel.
At the beginning of the conference, Professor Viana, the head of the conference organizing committee, gave a speech. Then, the head of the International Mathematical Union, Fields Medal winner, Japanese mathematician Professor Shigefumi Sen, gave a speech.
Then, the opening ceremony reached its climax-the announcement and presentation of the four major awards of the International Mathematical Union.
The first to be announced was the winner of the Gauss Prize, Professor David Donoho of Stanford University, who had made fundamental contributions to the mathematics, statistics, and computational analysis of important problems in signal processing.
Next was the Shiing-Shen Chern Award. It was worth mentioning that this Shiing-Shen Chern Award was different from the domestic Shiing-Shen Chern Award. Although the name was the same, the recognition and international status it represented were completely different.
The Shiing-Shen Chern Prize presented at the International Congress of Mathematicians was definitely one of the heavyweight awards in the entire mathematics world. The winner of the Shiing-Shen Chern Prize this time was the Japanese mathematician Masaki Kashiwara.
Then there was the Navarinna Prize, which was awarded to Professor Constantinos Daskalakis from the United States 'MIT. He was recognized for changing people's understanding of the computational complexity of markets, auctions, equilibrium, and other basic problems in economic structures.
His work provided effective algorithms and constraints for effective operations in these domains.
Professor Shigefumi was about to announce the four Fields Medal winners, and the atmosphere became tense.
It couldn't be helped because the Fields Medal was different from the Nobel Prize. Not only was it more difficult to win, but more importantly, no one knew who the winner was before the final results were announced. On the other hand, the Nobel Prize winners would receive a phone call from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences before receiving the award.
" The first award winner," Professor Shigefumi Sen looked at the mathematicians and said slowly," Professor Caucher Birkar from the University of Cambridge. His contribution to the boundedness of Fano's algebraic clusters and minimal model theory has pointed out the future path for us to study algebraic clusters…"

The award ceremony was over very quickly, and then there was a performance full of Brazilian characteristics. It was passionate and wild. Of course, there were still some performances that were quite eye-catching, such as dancing a few rounds in the venue as a savage. Forgive Xun Wen for not being able to enjoy it.
The morning of the first day of the conference passed just like that. In the afternoon, the big shots who were specially invited by the organizers of the conference to give one-hour reports went on stage to give speeches. The one-hour reports here were much more valuable than the forty-five-minute reports. For example, only Shiing-Shen Chern, Chengtong Qiu, Yintang Xiao, Wuzhong Xiang, Shengrong Zhang, and Gang Tian were invited to give a one-hour report.
Therefore, it was obvious how important the one-hour report was. Originally, Xun Wen's proof of Jebov's conjecture should have been invited to give a one-hour report, but because Xun Wen's qualifications were too shallow, the organizers of the conference demoted him by a level.
This was also why Xun Wen wanted to talk about Riemann's hypothesis at the report. Since he wanted to talk about seniority, then he would bring out a major result that everyone could not resist and talk about it for a while.
Mathematics was the language of God. Everything had to give way in front of the truth. If the organizers really forced Xun Wen to come down, then the mathematicians at the conference would definitely show him what " knowledge is power " meant.
The one-hour report of the professors on the first day passed very quickly. That night, Xun Wen, Carolyn, and Perelman had dinner together in the hotel restaurant. After dinner, Xun Wen and Perelman talked alone.
" Actually, before Carolyn told me about you, I already knew you," Perelman said." I can only say that you're even more talented than Tao.”
" Thank you for your compliment," Xun Wen said with a smile." But in mathematics, besides talent, inspiration is more important, so I came to learn from you."”
"What do you want to know?" Professor Perelman looked at Xun Wen with interest. He was indeed very interested in Xun Wen. After all, a 20-year-old student was able to do something that many mathematicians could not do in their entire lives. This was why he was willing to meet Xun Wen.
"The train of thought of the abc conjecture." Xun Wen said seriously.
Perelman looked at Xun Wen in surprise." Young man, you are indeed bold. Countless mathematicians have fallen for the abc conjecture, but you want to prove it."”
"Although I admire your courage, I have to say that the mathematics community still doesn't have a good idea on how to prove it.”
……
Two hours later, Xun Wen returned to his room. In general, the conversation with Professor Perelman was very fruitful, especially regarding the abc conjecture. Perelman not only raised some ideas, but also persuaded Xun Wen to borrow a manuscript from Professor Grothendieck.
However, Professor Grothendieck had passed away a few years ago, so he could only borrow it from his student, Professor Deligne. Although Xun Wen wasn't familiar with Professor Deligne, he thought that as long as he proved Riemann's hypothesis, it wouldn't be a problem anymore.
It was Xun Wen's turn to give a report on the stage tomorrow, so he took a hot bath to recharge his energy and prepare for tomorrow's speech.
(Thank you!)
