Chapter 124 Witnessing a Great Moment
"Any questions?"
Professor Deligne looked at the staff member.
"there is none left……"
The staff member smiled shyly and stepped aside.
Just kidding, this big boss speaks, how dare he have an opinion.
Up to now, there are only 13 mathematicians in the world who can win the Fields Medal and the Wolf Medal at the same time, and there are only two mathematicians in the world who have won the Craft Medal on this basis at the same time. One is Deligne , one is Qiu Chengtong.
Even if the chairman of the International Mathematical Union is here, he has to give this boss face. Not to mention an ordinary staff member of their Federal Mathematical Society.
If he noticed what happened later, Lu Zhou would definitely say thank you politely, but at this moment, he didn't pay attention to his back at all, and he didn't even hear the reminder from the staff.
Looking at the four whiteboards filled with writing, he stopped writing.
The results of the past four days have almost come to an end.
He needs to solve the rest on the spot.
Enlightenment time, half an hour left.
He had completely entered the state, and he had completely forgotten where he was.
Completely forget about the audience in the audience.
He completely forgot about the pair of eyes staring at his back.
On this stage where everyone can speak freely, regardless of national boundaries, skin color, or status, Lu Zhou looked at the line of calculations on the whiteboard, and his state of mind was beyond my peace.
he.
pen.
[S(α)=Σane(nα); M, N∈ζ……]
Staring sharply at the whiteboard, Professor Deligne, who had been thinking about it, suddenly spoke and asked an old friend next to him, "Do you think he can succeed?"
Staring at the calculation formula on the whiteboard, Professor Zellberg smiled: "It's hard to say, but I think we can look forward to it. Mathematics itself is the field of genius, and 70% of outstanding achievements are born in Young talents under the age of forty-five."
"That's why you turned to study string theory?" Deligne stared at the calculations on the whiteboard, and the tip of the pen stopped on the notepad, as if stuck there.
"Hehe," Professor Zellberg smiled, and after a while, he said, "Maybe?"
The other side of the auditorium.
Wei Wen stared at the whiteboard with his eyes motionless, watching the competitor in his mind, standing on that stage, challenging world-class problems. And that step by step has become more and more beyond the scope of his understanding, and even at this step, he can barely keep up with this person's train of thought.
Finally, he couldn't help but whispered.
"professor."
Staring at the whiteboard without moving, Professor Wang Xiping smiled: "What's wrong?"
"Do you think... he can succeed?"
After seriously thinking about this question for a while, Professor Wang Xiping shook his head, "It's hard to say, the field of number theory is a test of talent more than any other branch of mathematics. If he succeeds, it will be a good story to spread."
Wei Wen immediately asked: "What if he fails?"
Professor Wang Xiping thought for a while: "...If he fails, he may contract all the mathematicians in Princeton, and make all the jokes this year."
There are also the slander and slander from the unscrupulous media at home and abroad, these are all conceivable. For example, an arrogant and arrogant idiot changed his manuscript on the spot, tried to challenge a world-class mathematical conjecture at an academic conference, and was finally kicked off the stage...Although scientific research requires this kind of spirit of courage to challenge, never rely on the media How much sense of social responsibility can a person have.
Thinking of this, the old gentleman couldn't help but sigh with emotion while sweating for him.
It's good to be young...
This kind of courage and this kind of aggressiveness can only appear in young people.
At his age, there are too many things to worry about.
The older you get, the more you seek stability, and the more you seek stability, the harder it is to make progress.
It's not just a matter of inspiration, and it's not just the decline in focus and memory that comes with aging.
It is difficult for a mathematics professor under the traditional system to make up his mind to challenge such a big topic as a certain conjecture, because after three to five years of energy is invested in it, the result is likely to be fruitless, and he will not be able to pass the assessment in the end.
In contrast, as an undergraduate student, Lu Zhou is outside the system, without academic pressure, and without the troubles of various meetings and entertainment. Exploring, and finally achieving great results under the inspiration of inspiration...
Even if he fails, he can afford to lose.
If he succeeds...
Perhaps, among the new generation of young talents, the only one who can surpass him is the one who put forward the "PS theory" and built a new mathematical framework, who is only in his twenties and is regarded as the successor of Grothendieck. Peter Schulz, the youngest W3 professor in Germany.
Or, at least this category of people.
It’s hard to say about the Fields Medal in 2018. Schulz, who has achieved countless achievements in the field of algebraic geometry, will become his biggest competitor, as well as Brendle, who is also from Germany. However, this year's Ramanujan Award and the 2017 Cole Award (the highest award in the field of number theory), with the weight of the twin prime conjecture, can be expected.
Looking at the back figure on the podium, Mr. Wang's eyes were full of approval.
Sitting next to him, Wei Wen didn't say a word, looking at the podium with complicated expressions, he didn't know what he was thinking...
on stage.
The fifth whiteboard is filled with writing.
The 30-minute enlightenment time ended five minutes ago.
But here, there is no suspense about the outcome.
Looking at the sixth whiteboard dragged by the staff, Lu Zhou slowly exhaled the turbidity in his chest.
His lips moved slightly, facing the five whiteboards filled with writing, he whispered.
"God threw the six-sided dice, and the seventh possibility appeared, because the distorted dice landed on both sides."
"Mr. Hilbert's topological proof of the infinity of prime numbers is probably inspired by this layer of inspiration..."
Facing a brand new whiteboard.
He raised his right hand again.
The tip of the pen in his hand was like an inch of green light, and he slashed at the dying dragon in front of the treasure!
[S(2)-(logkx)S(1)>0 is established when K≥2, the acceptable array H=...]
【…】
【Therefore, there are infinitely many pairs of twin primes. 】
offstage.
The squinted eyes enlarged slightly, and the corners of Professor Deligne's mouth tightened, and a smile suddenly spread out.
Professor Zellberg, who was sitting next to him, smiled: "When I used topology methods to conduct supplementary research on the sieve theory, I thought that my work might provide ideas for future generations to solve Goldbach's conjecture. But I never thought that this sword would be used to cut to the K=1 form that Polignac conjectured. It seems that he responded to our expectations."
Deligne put down the pen in his hand, took off his glasses, and pinched the slightly sore corners of his eyes.
Only one word was spoken, in his native language.
"Yes."
Everything in the audience was quiet.
One person on stage.
As the last line of calculation was written, Lu Zhou took two steps back, and finally looked at the six whiteboards lined up in front of him.
The venue behind was so quiet that he could even hear his own heartbeat.
It should be... no problem.
Taking a deep breath, Lu Zhou turned around, turned his back to his answer sheet, and faced the audience who were waiting with bated breath under the podium.
In an affirmative tone, he said.
"Pairs of twin primes are infinite, and we have taken another big step towards the Polignac conjecture."
"It took a little time for everyone, and my proof is over."
Time and space leaped at this moment, as if returning to the examination room, the moment when I stopped writing and handing in the paper.
I have mixed feelings in my heart.
Listening to his own heartbeat, Lu Zhou gently placed the marker in his hand on the podium.
There were crowds of people under the lights.
At this moment, everyone on the scene is a witness and a reviewer.
This answer sheet is for the whole world.
Facing the audience, Lu Zhou bowed slightly.
turn around.
Go to the silent stage.
Hey, it's really not that I broke the chapters on purpose, it's that the new book can't break out, so don't lead me to the rhythm. With the same recommendation process, other new books will be on the shelves after about 100 chapters, and this is considered a new book for me. If I really broke the chapter on purpose, would it be uncomfortable if I break it here? But it's coming to an end soon, it will be on the shelves on May 1st, and it can explode at that time~~~
