Chapter 1390

ABC guess solved!

Whether it is for the mathematical world or for the future destiny of human civilization, this is definitely a day of creating history.

As the manager of arXiv preprint electronic document library, Cornell University of America is very honored, more advanced and deeply felt than all of us.

School of computer engineering, Cornell University.

The peace of the morning was broken by a sudden accident.

The arXiv database, which has been running stably for a long time, was suddenly overwhelmed by the explosive growth of visits, just as it suffered from a fierce DoS attack.

"Damn it! Is today a special day? Why do you log in at this point... "

"The number of visitors has increased a hundred times God, what happened last night? "

"The devil knows! Call Los Alamos National Laboratory and let them use the backup server! "

"It's already used Give up, there must be a problem with such a large number of visits, which is definitely not caused by normal access behavior! "

There was a mess in the laboratory.

In the face of the paralyzed server, several invited professors tried their best, but they were still helpless.

ArXiv's traffic volume has always been relatively stable, with an early peak and an evening peak. Most of the time, people will choose these two periods to search whether there is any new research progress in several research directions tracked by themselves.

As a result, the Los Alamos National Laboratory, which operates servers, has additional server resources for arXiv. But unexpectedly, the plan still can't keep up with the changes.

The extra spare server resources are just a drop in the bucket. The sudden increase of visits paralyzed the whole website. Now no one can squeeze in

Dr. Osmond, who is in charge of maintaining the database, was sweating. Seeing that the situation was out of control, he immediately called Los Alamos National Laboratory and asked the engineers there to pull the gate on the server, and then began to check the memory of the server and find the cause of the failure in the offline mode.

ArXiv is different from other non academic databases for profit-making purposes. As an open electronic preprint database for public welfare, they will not make profit even if the traffic is doubled several times. Therefore, in the face of such a situation, he is not excited at all except that he feels the end is large.

Looking at the system engineer, Dr. Osmond stopped him and asked anxiously.

"What about the Los Alamos National Laboratory? How are they doing with the server troubleshooting? "

The expression on the engineer's face was the same.

Although they have encountered similar situations before, to a certain extent, they are far less exaggerated than the situation they are facing now.

"The cause of the fault is still under investigation There is no new news yet. "

"Damn it!" After swearing, Dr. Osmond couldn't help but blurt out, "who is that goofball who is doing nothing but staring at the electronic literature library? You are forced to go to the black Federal Reserve! "

"Maybe it's rejection, want to vent?" The engineer shrugged his shoulders and reluctantly put forward a hypothesis, which Dr. Osmond rejected without thinking.

"No way. It's a question of whether that kind of fool can use the computer correctly or not."

It's very difficult to be rejected by arXiv, because even "folk mathematics" has a separate classification here as a reserve for folk scholars to enjoy themselves.

Only those who can't find the position of their own papers can be "rejected" because of the problem of non-compliance, so Dr. Osmond almost without hesitation ruled out this possibility.

Just when a group of people were in such a hurry that they were like ants on a hot pot, the footsteps suddenly came from the outside of the laboratory.

I saw a man in a suit almost trot into the room and said as he walked.

"The results from the Los Alamos National Laboratory are out!"

Hearing this, Dr. Osmond did not hesitate for a second. He immediately looked at him and asked in a burning voice.

"What's going on?!"

"Proof of ABC conjecture..."

Dr. Osmond was stunned and asked, looking at him in surprise.

"Proof of ABC's conjecture?! What do you mean... "

"The engineers at Los Alamos National Laboratory retrieved the error log and found that almost all the traffic points to the same third level domain name," the expression on the face was like seeing a ghost, swallowing his saliva and saying difficultly, "what a ghost! A paper, but also a preprint, the server to the entire paralysis It's the first time in my life that I've ever met such an exaggeration! "

……

The breakdown of the arXiv server is just the beginning.The news that ABC conjecture was proved soon spread all over the mathematical world along the Internet, and a sound of surprise spread like a tsunami.

Because the arXiv server is completely paralyzed and the website can't be accessed, many people who can't get to the paper can only rush into LSPM forum left by landship on personal page, where they can share and exchange information about ABC conjecture.

At the same time, the Princeton Institute of advanced studies.

Dr. Woolley vernal, a math student, walked into professor sanak's office.

Because he was so excited that he even forgot to knock on the door, he pushed open the door of the office and gave a report in a voice so excited that it was incoherent.

"Professor!"

Hearing the sound from the door, Professor sanak frowned slightly, stopped his ballpoint pen and looked towards his students.

"Good morning, Mr. vernal. I want to know what happened? So that you forget the courtesy of knocking before you open the door. "

"Sorry! But it's amazing! " "You would never have thought that the sound of the pen cover hitting the table interrupted him," said Professor sanak in an impatient voice.

"I hope you can make it clear in one minute, otherwise --"

"is LSPM research group! Just an hour ago, they uploaded the complete proof process of ABC conjecture to arXiv! "

LSPM team

A complete proof of ABC's conjecture?!

The moment he heard that, Professor sanak's eyes were as wide as table tennis, and he immediately stood up from behind his desk and said in a burning voice.

"What about the paper? Have you downloaded it yet? "

"No..." "When I found out about it, arXiv was paralyzed," said Dr. vernal, with a bitter expression on his face

You're paralyzed?!

When he heard the completely unexpected news, sanak was stunned.

It took about five minutes for him to recover.

Unconsciously, he moved to the corner of the desk in the office and looked at the calendar there, which was marked with the date of April 30.

Thinking of what Professor feverman said a while ago, sanak's eyes gradually emerged with a clear shock, and his pupils were full of unbelievable looks.

They got it out by the end of the month?!

It's God!

At the same time, almost in the same building.

Professor feverman, who was sitting in his office, turned his eyes to the calendar on his desk after learning that ABC's conjecture had been proved.

With a slight sigh, he said to himself with regret.

"What a loss..."

It would have been nice to stick with it.

I don't know if he insists on it any more. As soon as the gambling nature of sanak's old man comes up, he will play that bet with himself?

Don't say to knock him hard, at least this week's coffee, someone paid
