The weather and personnel are urging each other day by day, and the winter solstice brings sunshine and spring again
2022 comes to an end in a flash
At the node of the tail of the year
All the moments of effort are worthy of our careful combing and slow aftertaste
01 January
At the beginning of the new year, Beijing-Moscow Mathematics Colloquium, Beijing-Saint Petersburg Mathematics Colloquium and Beijing-Novosibirsk Seminar on Geometry and Mathematical Physics sequentially started! In this year's 45 forums, we invited 78 famous mathematicians, including 4 academicians and 8 communication academicians. Whenever the report starts, Beijing at 8 p.m., Moscow at 11 a.m., and Saint Petersburg and Novosibirsk at 4 p.m. are parallel in the same mathematical space dimension.

On February 10th, Wang Jieran and Guo Junhu, two PhD students recommended by the center, arrived in Russia smoothly. They told us silently with their backs that we didn't have to chase them. The two young adults were sent by the Russia-Ukraine-Belarus International Cooperation Training Program, and they followed Russian tutors gradually deducing the appearance of knowledge. Guo Junhu cooperated with Alexander Zheglov, his Russian tutor, to complete the paper "On some questions around the Berest's project".

The spread of knowledge follows the rhythm of nature and merges into the growth of all living things. On February 24th, the notice of Spring online courses by Russian experts was officially released. Related courses include: Arithmetic of Elliptic Curves, Topology of Integrable Hamiltonian Systems, Diophantine Approximation, Triangulated and Derived Categories in Algebra and Geometry. The Autumn courses started on September 5th, including Representation Theory, Geometry, Quantization and Semi Classical Asymptotics, Fundamentals of Calculus of Variables and Optimal Control, Geometry and Topology of nilmanifolds. Internationalized courses based on the frontier of disciplines are fertile soil for nourishing academic depth and thickness.

In March, Chinese scholars echoed with their peers from afar, and four Chinese experts offered two online open courses, namely, "Homological Method in Quantum Field Theory" and "Donaldson Invariants and Hitchin Moduli Space". "Homological Method in Quantum Field Theory" was in the charge of Professor Li Si from Yau Mathematical Sciences Center of Tsinghua University. "Donaldson Invariants and Hitchin Moduli Space " was divided into three parts, which were respectively taught by Professor Chen Bohui, Distinguished Researcher Li Qiongling and Academician Ruan Yongbin. After many years, it may become a model of academic thought exchange and collision.

The achievements continued to emerge this year. On March 28th, Yuan Xinyi, the academic leader of the cooperation team of Sino-Russian Mathematics Center, and Xie Junyi jointly wrote the paper "Geometric Bogomolov consciousness in ambient characteristics", which was received by the top mathematics magazine Inventiones Mathematicae. Professor Zhou Xiaohua, the head of the Medical Mathematics Research Center of the center, and Professor Fu Song, the head of the cooperation team of the center, published important achievements in the Journal of American Statistical Association and the Journal of Fluid Mechanics (JFM) respectively; Professor Gong Kan, the key member of the Medical Mathematics Research Center of the center, and his team published important achievements in the famous International Journal of Biological Sciences. Due to space limitations, many achievements cannot be presented completely.

Tacit agreement arises because of mutual understanding. In 2022, Duan Huiling, the director of Nanchang Innovation Research Institute, the cooperation base of the center, led a team to visit the Ministry of Aerospace, and the base invited Professor Shen Jie of Purdue University and Professor Fu Song of Tsinghua University to give academic reports; The Sino-Russian Mathematics Center-Jilin University Colloquium held 45 forums in total, including 7 short-term courses and an international academic conference, which invited nearly 50 famous mathematicians from China and Russia to give reports; On August 16th, "Seminar on Differential Equation Dynamics" was held online by Chengdu base of the center. The seminar fully discussed the theory and application of differential equation dynamics, which broadened the professional vision of teachers and students; On September 5th, the center’s cooperation base Shandong University held the "2022 International Symposium on Geometric Analysis" in Qingdao; On September 17th, Three Gorges Mathematical Research Center, the cooperation base of the center, was invited to Wuhan to participate in the cooperation exchange meeting. Although the bases are scattered in different places, the lines of the landscape are the same.
On August 30th, the 26th regular meeting of the Scientific and Technological Cooperation Subcommittee of the China-Russia Prime Ministers' Regular Meeting Committee was held via Beijing-Moscow video link. Both sides exchanged views and reached broad consensus on deepening cooperation under the framework of large scientific devices, strengthening cooperation in joint R&D projects, holding Sino-Russian science and technology exhibitions, and expanding cooperation in mathematics, climate and environment, agriculture and other fields. Professor Chen Dayue, deputy director of Sino-Russian Mathematics Center, delivered a speech at the meeting as the representative, expressing the ardent expectation of the development prospect of scientific research cooperation between the two countries.

In September, Professor Alexander Zheglov, Professor Alexey Tuzhilin and Associate Professor George Sharygin from the Department of Mechanics and Mathematics of Moscow State University came to the center from far away. In the bustle of the epidemic, such a gathering is particularly precious. Two exchange students from Russian HSE University arrived as scheduled, and the visit of Anna, the female student, brought a lively atmosphere to the center.
