Reshaping life starting from the Junior Class of HKUST

Chapter 241 The disturbance caused by Wu Zhe in foreign mathematics circles

Before Wu Zhe and Tang Meng knew about it.The name Wu Zhe has been mentioned frequently in foreign mathematics circles.

Part of this was due to Mr. Qiu, and part of it was due to Wu Zhefa's photocopy.

The most papers on the AR XIV forum are a group of mathematics enthusiasts, also known as Minke.The conjectures above have basically been proved by Minke.It is estimated that there are no fewer than [-] papers proving the "Goldbach Conjecture".But if you have to study and read carefully, you will lose.The logic of mathematicians and the logic of civil science enthusiasts are two different things. Seeing such a paper, many people just laughed it off.

But even so, many people who study mathematics and research mathematics will have an account on the AR XIV forum, because there are still a lot of dry goods on it, even if it is useless, it can sometimes inspire yourself.

Because Wu Zhe proved that the "Sitapan Conjecture" is not as unknown abroad as he thought, but because of his age, he has been noticed by many universities.Many people see him as a rising star.

Many people now call Tao Zhexuan from Xingguo, Schultz from D country, and Wu Zhe from Huaguo the three geniuses in the mathematics world.

Among them, Wu Zhe is the youngest.

So after Wu Zhe's thesis was posted on AR XIV, many people still noticed it.It's just that many people don't have enough knowledge, and they can't see why.

But Tao Zhexuan, Schultz and others who are also geniuses have also noticed.After two days of research, it is basically certain that Wu Zhe has proved the three conjectures.All those who read and understood Wu Zhe's proof felt their scalps go numb from Wu Zhe's three consecutive conjectures.

Terence Tao was the first to post an article on Twitter: "Some people say that I am the person with the highest IQ in the world. I used to be complacent about it and proud of my mathematical talent. Being able to become a full professor at the age of 24, I am proud. But just now, my pride was shattered by a more talented person. I want to know who he is, right? He is Wu Zhe, the genius of Huaguo, but the key is that he is only 15 years old. Want to know what he did? You can find his newly published papers on AR XIV. MY GOD, except for the Sitapan conjecture, he published three world-class conjecture proofs in one day. Maybe many people will think He may have written a dissertation, but after my checking, at least I didn't find any mistakes or omissions—"

This is a long blog post, and Tao Zhexuan, as the youngest professor at the University of Los Angeles, has a lot of fans, and many students follow him as a role model, so after reading this article, they all went to the forum to find Wu Zhe's original paper.This thing started to ferment.

And as more and more people began to study those papers, they were all overwhelmed by Wu Zhe's talent, but there is no mathematician or Fields Medalist to make the final affirmation for Wu Zhe.

The "Annual of Mathematics" of Princeton University also published news that it is organizing personnel to verify the accuracy of Wu Zhe's papers, and also took the opportunity to reveal to the outside world that these papers of Wu Zhe were submitted to the "Annual of Mathematics".

And the Annals of Mathematics didn't lie, they were already in the process of verifying it.Professor Qiu Chengtong personally called the editor-in-chief of the journal, Damons, and strongly recommended Wu Zhe's three papers to him.

You should know that it often takes a month or even half a year to review the papers. One is that there are many papers, and the other is that the professors who review the papers may not be free at any time.

For example, Hua Guo's papers are usually ranked at the back, and a 15-year-old child, even if he has some grades in front of him.But when Qiu Chengtong said that Wu Zhe had successively proved the three conjectures of Zhou, Polignac, and twin primes, he only thought that this old friend had drunk too much and asked him to brag.

It was only after Qiu Chengtong's repeated assurances that he believed it half-believingly.This is also due to Qiu Chengtong's status as a Fields Medal winner. He believes that Qiu Chengtong will not make fun of his academic reputation.

So he personally went to invite a master of digit theory: Fields Medal winner, Professor Fefferman of Princeton University.

However, as soon as they reached the door of Professor Fefferman, Fefferman and another old man came out.

After Damons was stunned for a while, he hurriedly greeted the two respectfully: "Professor Fefferman and Professor Deligne, hello! Are you going out?"

Not disrespectful to Diamonds, Professor Fefferman is a Fields Medal winner.And the other Professor Deligne is even more remarkable.He's a Grand Slam winner for the Fields Medal, the Crawford Award, and the Wolfe Award.This year he also received the title of Viscount.

Fefferman looked up at Dammons and said with a smile: "Damons, Deligne and I are going to find you? Qiu called me and asked Deligne and I to go to your place to read some papers."

Damons couldn't help but lamented that Qiu Chengtong had enough face. It didn't count if he called himself, and he even found a heavyweight manuscript reader for Wu Zhe.

Immediately replied: "I am here this time for Wu Zhe's thesis. I hope you can be his reviewer."

Deligne became a little impatient while listening, and urged: "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Let's go and have a look now. Hehe, there are still three world-class conjectures. If Qiu is not joking this time, then the world of mathematics will not It's going to be fun."

Several people came to the office of the Annual Journal of Mathematics, and Wu Zhe's paper had already been printed.

Professor Fefferman and Professor Deligne found a desk and sat down, picked up the pen they carried with them, and began to verify.

At the beginning, the expressions of the two were relaxed, and they even had a playful smile on their faces, but as time went by.The expressions of the two became more and more serious, until the surprise on their faces became more and more intense.

Raising their heads almost at the same time, both of them saw the answer from the other's face.

Deligne said directly: "I'm going to take this paper back for research, and I'll give you the answer in three days. How about Fefferman?"

"Similarly, although I didn't find any errors or logical loopholes in the first pass, it has too much to do with it. I dare not draw conclusions right away, and I must be cautious. This Wu Zhe is a super genius, and his mathematical thinking is too unconstrained."

Seeing Fefferman sigh, Deligne also nodded: "It is important to be careful, this is related to the ownership of the Fields Medal."

Fefferman glanced at Deligne and said with a smile: "To us, it may be just a Fields medal, but it means more to you, old friend, than this medal. The distribution of Mersenne prime numbers, I don’t need to say more about the importance of the proof of twin prime numbers to the Riemann Hypothesis! And your mentor Ron Dick’s health is not very good recently?”

Deligne said nothing.Although his teacher, Ron Dick, is known as the emperor of modern algebra, he has never made a breakthrough in the research of Riemann functions, and he has been brooding about it to this day.Now the teacher is seriously ill and bedridden, but on the dark road of the Riemann zeta function, a little flame suddenly appeared.Even if the flame is small, it is not a consolation to those who have studied the Riemann function for a lifetime.
