"Oh!" Qiao Xi nodded lightly, her expression as usual relaxed.
Seeing her mother's humble attitude, Qiao Yu continued to speak earnestly: "One of the core problems of algebraic geometry is to study the geometrical properties of algebraic varieties.
I only learned while working on this topic that previous research was mostly conducted over real or complex number fields, but if we switch to the p-adic number field, traditional tools can't be used. It's because the geometric properties in the p-adic field are more peculiar.
Let me give you an analogy, tools in traditional complex geometry rely heavily on continuity and smooth structures, but these structures don't hold in p-adic spaces. Do you understand? That's where the value of Schulz's research lies.
Okay, enough about this, just tell me what you think after reading that paper?"
Qiao Yu generously waved his hand, sparing his mother from further criticism since she humbly acknowledged her mistakes.
