Across the ocean, in most places, it is already late at night or even early morning.
Yet discussions triggered by today's sudden update of Ann.Math are still ongoing.
Alright, it can no longer be called a discussion; it's more like an academic earthquake.
Researchers in mathematics might not subscribe to other journals, but they cannot not subscribe to the four top journals. They are, of course, familiar with the publication patterns of these top journals.
Ann.Math, being a bimonthly journal, has almost never published within the first three days of the month, which makes this seem rather impatient.
Of course, this has made many people start to pay attention to the papers in this issue immediately.
Especially among a group of scholars studying algebraic geometry and number theory, the impact of Qiao Yu's cover paper is said to be at a nuclear explosion level.
