Chapter 114: Princeton's youngest professor

　　Never could Orion have imagined that Professor Deligne would give himself such a big surprise at the banquet.

　　The original plan for him was to get his PhD before the end of the year, but now it seemed that plans were far from being able to catch up with changes. The Annals of Mathematics hadn't published his paper yet, but the Princeton Institute had already awarded him a PhD and even the title of full professor ......

　　However, thinking about it, it's not as if Orion can't understand Princeton's decision.

　　Even leaving aside Goldbach's Conjecture, his group construction method can already be used as an excellent theoretical tool to apply to the field of analytic number theory.

　　Even a number of university textbooks on number theory had begun to follow it up.

　　Thinking about it, Orion had some regrets.

　　Why didn't he give it a more impressive name in the first place, when it was going to be remembered in history?

　　It was Mochizuki Shinichi who solved the "abc conjecture" who had the foresight to do so. ......

　　Regardless of whether others can understand it or not, the name "Inter-universal Teichmüller Theory" sounds awesome.

　　After completing the graduation procedure, Orion silently took a picture of his diploma and doctoral cap and tweeted it.

　　Almost as expected, the comment section of his tweet exploded once again.

　　[Twenty-one-year-old full professor? Cool, breaking Charles Feferman's record.]

　　[I think getting a doctorate in three months is even more impressive.]

　　[No, no, no, no. Do you guys know why this guy graduated so quickly? I heard from our maths department that just a week ago, this guy proved Goldbach's Conjecture, and a few days ago, Princeton held a presentation, and he was the only one to present it. ......]

　　[Shit, no way!]

　　[Take the photo, I'm going to hang it around my neck when I go into the exam room later.]

　　[......]

　　Orion didn't think that he was just posting a "graduation photo" to mark the occasion, but the story went so far as Goldbach's Conjecture. It seems that there are many international students who follow his tweets.

　　Later, the discussion became more and more heated, some people tweeted the screenshots of the news from the New York Times and Philadelphia Daily News, and some people found the paper on Arxiv.

　　Then ......

　　The topics of "Princeton's youngest professor" and "Goldbach's Conjecture" were both sent to the top of the hot search list amidst the excited discussions of netizens and the followers of the media... ...

　　What Orion didn't know was that although he hadn't seen the news yet, his paper on Arxiv had even attracted the attention of the political circle long before the netizens noticed it.

　　However, for the time being, no one had publicly come forward to express their opinions, as everyone was waiting for the results of the review in the Annals of Mathematics.

　　At this moment, Orion, who was in Princeton, also did not realise for the time being what this attention meant. Because he is now all focused on the peer review of the Annals of Mathematics.

　　The six reviewers, all of whom are very knowledgeable in the field of mathematics, pointed out a number of problems with his paper, and Orion was actively engaged in revising every problematic area.
