Chapter 1033

Hilbert once said that if he was lucky enough to wake up from a long sleep in 500 years, his first question after waking up would surely ask, Riemann wondered if it had been solved.

Whether or not Lu Zhou is in the mood for an interview at the moment, at the same time that bottle of champagne was opened, the whole mathematical world was rocked by the just concluded report.

Riemann guess solved!

Good guy, he killed three of the seven millennial problems!

In particular, it is such an important one

If the polyniac conjecture, the Goldbach conjecture and the quasi Riemann conjecture put Professor Lu on the throne of mathematics at most, then the Millennium problem about the NS equation is equivalent to adding a layer of halo to his head and radiating the light to the next physics field.

And the proof of Riemann's conjecture is equivalent to pushing him directly from the ground to the sky and putting him on the throne!

This metaphor may not be so appropriate, but it is not an exaggeration at all.

Although the mathematics circle hasn't given a positive answer for the time being and approved the proof given by Lu Zhou at the sixty minute report meeting, it has almost become a predictable thing from the point of view of the not sharp questions of several big bulls on the spot and the smooth answers of Lu Zhou himself.

Even if there are some flaws or small problems in the final paper, it can be revised before it is officially published. At the beginning, after wiles opened champagne at the report meeting, it took more than a year to revise his paper, and finally let the Fermat conjecture become the Fermat theorem.

Although when the claim of a proof is considered to be a failure, the performance of the mathematical community will often be incomparable reality, but in front of this major proposition, the mathematical community will often show different patience.

After all, they have been waiting for a century and a half.

The last few days, months and even a year

Of course, if it's just a matter of Riemann's conjecture, it won't make people so excited.

After all, the paper was released yesterday, and it should be excited too. If you want to continue to be excited, it shouldn't be today. Instead, you should wait until the mathematical community, especially Cray Research Institute, has given a certain "review opinion" on the completeness of the whole proof.

At the end of the report meeting, if there is no accident, his next lesson will try to unify algebra and geometry!

I'm afraid it's a little exaggeration to say that the whole mathematical world is boiling over this, but in the tens of minutes after this sentence is said, at least half of the mathematical world has become a sensation!

Facebook community at Princeton University.

The voice of hot discussion almost occupied the whole interface, and the hot topic for a time even surpassed the upcoming Ivy League school canoeing competition and rugby game in autumn.

Unified algebra and geometry? Wait, can you give me some time to find out what they are talking about. Our algebra geometry is only up to half. Now you tell me that algebra and geometry should be unified? ]

[I always feel that since that man published his first paper in the chronicle of mathematics, it seems that every day we are witnessing history ]

[how is this possible? There are more than 20 stacks of books on algebra, geometry and various branches in the flint library, not including the latest achievements that have not been included in the works for the time being. Now you tell me that these twenty rows of bookshelves can be explained by one book? This is crazy! ]

[I think You may have misunderstood his idea that unified algebra and geometry are not the two subjects and their branches. If he did, the most possible thing would be not to make the works on the 20 rows of shelves become one book, but to open a new shelf next to it and put a brand-new one on it.

Please don't tell me. I'll finish my graduation thesis this year ]For the mathematical world, the unification of algebra and geometry is undoubtedly more exciting than the Riemann conjecture itself. But for the melon eaters who are concerned about how things are going, Riemann's guess is more topical.

The video of the conference was not just circulated in the communities of universities. After the HD video of the conference was uploaded to youtube, the conference for professionals also received millions of broadcast volumes and tens of thousands of comments.

But from the top comments, the average melon eater seems to be more interested in a million dollar prize than in the mathematical value of Riemann's conjecture.

In particular, land boat has won the million dollar prize of Cray Research Institute because of the Millennium problem of NS equation. This time, many people have envied this million dollar prize.

I didn't expect that I could make money with good mathematics?!

However, not everyone can make this money

In addition to the discussion on the Internet, many media around the world, including CTV, BBC, Columbia TV and so on, also reported the news one after another.CTV, in particular, even produced a special documentary in the form of interviews on CCTV. Experts from the Academy of Sciences told academicians in South China about this century and a half long march on the peak of human mind!

The heat of Riemann's conjecture continued to ferment as the report ended.

In addition to the comments of unrelated people and the reports of major news media, there are also top bulls in the industry who have made objective comments.

On the night after the report meeting, the specific point is 8:00 p.m. Moscow time.

Professor Aksay, who has won the fields prize for 18 years, has updated an academic comment on the report meeting on his personal blog, which is a fairly objective summary of the whole report meeting

[at present, the big bulls in the field of mathematics, including Professor deline and Professor fortings, are optimistic about Professor Lu Zhou's proof. And I have exchanged views with many famous professors such as Schulz and Tao Zhechuan. I also agree that Professor Lu's proof basically has no big problem. ]

[however, this is only the opinion of some people after all, and there are many scholars who are studying this issue still haven't expressed their opinions. On the one hand, this is due to careful consideration. The more important the conjecture is, the more cautious we must be. If we go wrong, it will shake the foundation of the building of number theory. On the other hand, because there are still many people who do not fully understand his paper, we must give them some choice whether to accept such results and time to express their opinions. ]

[I can't say that 100% of professors must be right, but there is a possibility of at least 70% or more. ]

[but to be honest, I am more concerned about the equation he used when he introduced the method of differential geometry to solve the problem on the complex plane than the Riemann conjecture itself. Maybe it's my illusion, but I always find that step very interesting. It has a lot to do with a research I did earlier I recommend that colleagues who study nonsingular complex projective algebraic clusters can study it in depth. Maybe the last golden egg given to us by Riemann conjecture will be the key to solve Hodge's conjecture or similar problems ]Compared with the rumors with different opinions, Professor Aksay's comments are undoubtedly much more objective, and are forwarded by many people in various online communities.

To a certain extent, this blog with a high degree of communication has played a certain role in suppressing the bizarre rumors.

No matter how qualitative the academic circles finally give to this proof, the fantastic mathematical skills used in the proof by Lu Zhou alone, and the wonderful report itself, this report will be enough to be recorded in history

……

The next day.

In the same lecture hall as yesterday, it was also filled with people under pressure.

Soon the closing ceremony of IMU will begin.

Although a lot of people have left after yesterday's last report meeting, there are still many people left.

Sitting in the middle of the meeting hall, Tao zheshuan looked around, didn't see the figure he wanted to see, so he lowered his voice and said to Professor feverman sitting next to him.

"And the boat?"

Feverman shook his head and said, "I didn't see anyone, but I heard from deline that he took a bus to the airport early in the morning."

Professor Tao was slightly stunned and said, "are you in such a hurry? Not even at the closing ceremony? "

He was going to ask him some questions about his paper.

Feverman's expression was a little subtle, and he answered the question in vague terms.

"After all One of his important students is lying on the bed. It is said that he helped her arrange the transfer plane from St. Petersburg to Shangjing. "

Hearing that very important sentence made the expression on Professor Tao's face a little strange.

The closing ceremony continued for a while.

He, who had been silent for a long time, said suddenly.

“…… In fact, sometimes I ask myself if I should have written that letter of recommendation. "

At this, feverman sighed softly.

As if he had expected to say that, he said.

"Never try to speculate on the logic behind fate. If you don't think she would have become a student of the land boat without that letter of recommendation, she would not have come to this stage. This idea is more stupid than those who regret giving her the medal of Firth to Professor crislet --"

Tao zhe Xuan sighed.

"You misunderstood."

Feverman: " Oh? "

Tao Zhehuan: "I just think that without that letter of recommendation, maybe her life would not have so many intersections with him, and he would not be involved in this matter. At this time of celebration, he should have had a good drink with us at the dinner party last night, but didn't you find out? He didn't even show up at the restaurant. Professor Holden was there to drink for us"I'm not complaining about interrupting our dinner party. This kind of thing is insignificant. Really, it's just a little regret about the fate behind it. It's a sad thing even if it's a day later, but it happened here. Let him set foot on life Even at the peak of history, losing an important person... "

Suddenly there was silence. After about a minute, he said softly with a somewhat complicated and regretful tone.

“…… I'm afraid it won't be easy. "

Hearing the regret in that tone, feverman gave him an unexpected look, subconsciously left and right, and lowered the volume.

"You Has it been seen? "

Tao Zhechuan quietly places his head.

“…… I can see a little bit. "

On stage.

The closing ceremony has come to the end.

Professor Sen Chongwen, who was standing in front of the stage, gave up the microphone, and Professor Holden, who was standing behind, walked up to the stage with a smile on his face.

According to the Convention, before the closing ceremony of ballet, Russian opera and classical music, the Secretary General of the International Federation of mathematicians will announce the venue of the next Congress.

It's the finale after the fields awards.

Although it was voted on the second day of the conference, it was deliberately put by the Organizing Committee at the end of the conference.

At the moment, except for a few people who are indifferent to this, most people in the conference hall have held their breath, looked at the figure on the stage nervously and prayed, waiting for Professor holden to speak.

Especially Academician Wang Shicheng.

It's like a baby is about to be born.

The same is true of Qinyue.

Although he is an overseas scholar, but the flowing blood is the same. Who wouldn't want his hometown to be better?

Facing a pair of blazing eyes under the stage, Professor Holden smiled, cleared his throat like a pass, and announced in a loud voice.

"After a vote, our representatives agreed."

"The next International Congress of mathematicians will be held in -"

"China, Jinling!"

For a moment, the whole venue was boiling.
