Chapter 258 A Perfect Match
"Looking for someone? Who?" Dean Cai asked.
Song He kept the story short and explained the whole story. The more he talked, the more exciting the expressions of the two old men opposite him became. At the end of the sentence, Professor Wang and Dean Cai were both stunned.
"Are you sure?" Dean Cai was in disbelief. "Can you tell from Jinling Institute of Technology's new conjectures that there is a master on the other side? It was this single master who made all the conjectures, rather than a group of students?"
Song He nodded firmly, "Sure, just one person!"
"You and he still use conjectures to communicate through the air? Without any hints, you can know the other person's thinking direction purely by conjectures?" Dean Cai continued to ask.
"That's right!" Song He affirmed, "It's very obvious that our conjectures are refuting each other, gradually getting closer, and moving forward together!"
Dean Cai and Professor Wang were dumbfounded.
There was silence in the office for a moment.
"After teaching for so many years, this is the first time I have heard of this situation." Professor Wang nodded, "Young people today are so smart! If you don't do mathematics, you can become spies."
"If you are sure, I will try to help you contact Jinling Institute of Technology and find them." Dean Cai said.
"Thank you, Dean!" Song He quickly thanked him.
Dean Cai took out his cell phone and was about to make a call when a call came in.
He answered the call, put it to his ear, and then raised his eyebrows, "Yes, yes! I am the dean of the School of Mathematics at Jinghai University! You are from Jinling Institute of Technology, right? I was just about to call you!"
On the side, Song He and Professor Wang looked at each other and smiled. It seemed that the other party moved a step faster and contacted them first.
"Yes, yes! We have this student here, let the two students add WeChat!"
Dean Cai winked, and Professor Wang quickly pulled out the pen and paper and handed it to Song He.
Immediately afterwards, Dean Cai read out a long list of WeChat IDs, Song He wrote them down, thanked him repeatedly and left.
…
dormitory.
Song He found the other party's WeChat account. He used his real name, "Kong Gaojie", and his profile picture was the Laplace transform formula. It was probably an old profile picture that had been posted for many years.
Add friends and they will be approved in seconds!
Kong Gaojie: "Is it convenient to make a video?"
Song He smiled and made the video call.
When the signal was connected, both parties saw each other's faces and were startled at the same time.
"Holy shit, you're so handsome even though you're a mathematician? You should become an actor!" Kong Gaojie said something straightforward.
"Brother Kong is so complimentary, I turned on beauty." Song He said.
Song He looked at Kong Gaojie in the video, trying hard to suppress his expression and try not to show doubts.
Kong Gaojie looks very... strange, with a body as thin as a child. It makes people suspect that he is a genius prodigy selected from the juvenile class, the kind who goes to college at the age of thirteen or fourteen.
But his head is as big as an adult's, and his face looks a little old-fashioned.
The head of a young man in his twenties is placed on the body of a ten-year-old child. It is extremely weird!
It was obviously some kind of disability, but out of politeness, Song He didn't dare to ask.
"I have a weird body shape, right? I have achondroplasia. I stopped growing taller in elementary school. Fortunately, my head is still long, so I have grown into the big-headed dwarf that I am now." Kong Gaojie spoke calmly, not feeling inferior at all.
"No wonder you have a high IQ! You are a highly intelligent creature that has evolved in advance. You don't need a stupid body to pick fruits from the tree. You only need a brain full of wisdom to decipher the mysteries of the world!" Song He suddenly realized and praised.
Song He is just flattering. As a biology master, he knows very well that this disease has nothing to do with advanced evolution. It is purely a fourth pair of chromosome disease, a mutation in the gene encoding fibroblast growth factor receptor, and it is a congenital defect.
"That's what I think too." Kong Gaojie smiled, "My IQ has been tested, and to lend you my blessing, the value is indeed quite high! But Brother Song, I'm afraid you are no less than me!"
Across the screen, the two laughed.
"I'm discovering a major mathematical conjecture." Song He changed the topic and looked serious.
"I feel it. The hint you gave is quite obvious." Kong Gaojie paused, "Could it be a new conjecture that has attracted the attention of the world? In the field of geometric topology, no decent conjecture has appeared for a long time!"
"Geometric topology is a big mountain. If you want to find blockbuster conjectures, you can only split the mountain."
"Then we two join forces to split the mountain?"
The two looked at each other and smiled.
It's strange to say that there is a kind of person in the world who has never met you, but after just a few minutes of contact, you have a tacit understanding like a ten-year old friend, from breathing, heartbeat to thoughts, completely synchronized.
Across the mobile phone screens, the two of them had the same feeling in their hearts. It's hard to find a soulmate!
"I read a paper this morning, the results of Michael Hopkins, Lin Jianfeng, Xu Zhouli and others, the famous 11/8 conjecture in four-dimensional topology, the problem of equivariant stable mapping between spheres..." Kong Gaojie said .
"I read it the day before yesterday. It was about analyzing finite spectrum and Thom spectrum mapping to prove it, right?" Song He nodded, "That article is a combination of differential topology and geometric topology. I am only good at geometric topology."
"What a coincidence, I'm good at differential topology!" Kong Gaojie said with a smile.
A perfect match, the two started discussing key papers.
Kong Gaojie relied heavily on written calculations and computer simulations. He would spend half a day doing calculations after exchanging a few sentences, or he would click hurriedly on the computer.
Song He was able to do it with ease. He turned on artificial brain programming, clicked once or twice occasionally, and relied on mental arithmetic most of the time. After finishing the calculation, he silently waited for Kong Gaojie.
"This is the unitary module with integral coefficients. The positive definite symmetric bilinear shape can realize the intersection form of 4-dimensional manifolds..."
"Can the positive definite intersection form of a four-dimensional simply connected smooth manifold be diagonalized into an identity matrix?"
"This topological manifold does not have a smooth differential structure, so it is not diagonalizable..."
"Song He, if you don't understand here, you can go and take a look at Morse's theory. This theory is beautiful. It can be used for Milnor's strange balls and the cellular structure of infinite-dimensional manifolds. I have also seen it used for An example of Li Qun’s road space..."
"I didn't learn Lie groups well, and I don't know much about the structure of cells... Why don't you try the submanifold L in the symplectic manifold..."
The frequency of video discussions between the two is sometimes fast and sometimes slow.
Song He remembered the last time he had a video chat with Catalina. There was a language barrier and he relied solely on translation software, making communication very troublesome.
It was much more comfortable to discuss it with Kong Gaojie. Both of them spoke Mandarin with slight dialect accents, so there was no need to read subtitles at all.
There are thousands of languages in a global village, all of which are incomprehensible to each other, which is extremely inconvenient. When the European continent is conquered, wouldn't it be wonderful to abolish all the miscellaneous languages and leave only one?
Song He was distracted for a moment and then shook his head. His thoughts were a bit too extreme.
Before I knew it, night fell outside the window.
"Wait a minute, I'm going to make some noodles." Kong Gaojie stood up.
He just left without turning off the video on his phone.
So Song He could see his dormitory, which was quite spectacular. Boxes and boxes of math books and paper materials were stacked against the wall. The amount was so large that the firefighters would go crazy after seeing it.
Song He also turned off the video on his phone, took out a pack of soda crackers and a bottle of lime juice from his schoolbag, and started eating them.
Kong Gaojie also returned soon, snoring and eating instant noodles in front of the camera.
The two chatted while eating and continued to advance on the mountain of mathematics!
