From small town scholar to chief scientist

Chapter 162 Ramanujin Award! (seeking subscription and monthly ticket)
Encouraging a genius to do what he can't do is an interesting thing for Peter Sarnak.

Peter Sarnak felt that he was over 70 years old. Even if this genius regretted looking for him in the future, according to the customs of their Great Xia Kingdom, he had to burn paper for him.

Peter Sarnak gets a thumbs up for his wit.

A genius as strong as you Zhouyi, isn't he also fooled by me?

Labor and capital are the best geniuses in the world!

It was Zhou Yi who began to think about Peter Sanak's words on the way back.

Feasibility is very high!
The so-called 3N+1 conjecture means that for each positive integer,

If it is an even number, divide it by 2, if it is an odd number, multiply it by 3 and add 1, that is to say, it becomes an arbitrary positive integer and performs this calculation procedure. After finite steps, the final result must be The smallest positive integer 1; it is called the 3N+1 conjecture.

To give a simple example, if a positive integer N=6 is taken, according to the description of the 3N+1 conjecture,
6/2=3，3*3+1=10，

10/2=5，5*3+1=16，16/2=8，8/2=4，4/2=2，2/2=1；

Another example is N = 9, according to the above,
9×3+1=28，28÷2=14，14÷2=7，7×3+1=22，22÷2=11，11×3+1=34，34÷2=17，17×3+1=52，52÷2=26，26÷2=13，13×3+1=40，40÷2=20，20÷2=10，10÷2=5，5×3+1=16，16÷2=8，8÷2=4，4÷2=2，2÷2=1。

At first glance, it seems very simple,
Do you think it's okay if I go up to me?
High school students read it and call it an expert. Isn't this the problem I usually do to find patterns?

However, the proof process of such a simple math problem has puzzled mathematicians for 90 years.

2021年7月，总部位于东J涩谷的东瀛公司Bakuage Co.，Ltd.宣布，将向任何解决3N+1猜想的人提供1.2亿鈤元的奖金，悬赏有效期为2021 年7月7日至 2031年7月6日。

Converted into a magnesium knife, it is 110 million, and the Daxia national currency is close to 800 million.

This conjecture is very famous in Japan and Ugly Country, just as famous as Goldbach's conjecture in Great Xia.

As Zhou Yi walked, he read from the corner of his mouth:

"The shortest way to communicate between two truths in the field of real numbers is often through the field of complex numbers. It is a feasible method, and it is finally rewarding."

Zhou Yi, who returned to his residence, was still reading:
"Wiles proved Fermat's last theorem at the beginning by proving the Taniyama-Shimura-Weil conjecture of semi-stable elliptic curves, thus completely proving Fermat's last theorem. Can he also prove the equivalent function of 3N+1 first? Equation to prove the 3N+1 conjecture,
It can also be extended to the field of complex numbers, which is tantamount to expanding my mathematical knowledge again. "

Zhou Yi was writing and drawing in his room while thinking,
For several days, Zhou Yi retreated in his own room, but a moment of mathematical inspiration was not enough to support Zhou Yi to completely perfect the complex analysis method.

On this day, Zhou Yi was caught out of the room by Tan Mingming, and said:

"Junior Brother, it's been five days and you're still in seclusion. Your two mentors have heard about it. If I hadn't explained it to them, I'm afraid I'd have to call you."

Zhou Yi said in a daze:
"Meow, it's still a little bit close. I'm also preparing to come out to seek new inspiration. Brother, what do you want me to do?"

Tan Mingming said:

"Do you know about the Ramanujan Award?"

Zhou Yi said:

"Of course I know, how could I not know this."

"You may be the winner of the Ramanu Gold Award this year, and I plan to invite you to Ah San."

Tan Mingming said with an envious look.

As a monstrous junior, I didn't stop at the speed of winning prizes.

The ICCM Mathematics Gold Medal in August, the Veblen Geometry Prize, the highest award in the geometry field some time ago, is now the Ramanu Gold Medal.

Every time he wins an award, every time he refreshes the record for the age of the youngest winner.

Not surprisingly, there are three awards this year.

"Ah San, is it too far away?"

Zhou Yi was puzzled.

Now Zhouyi is in the Ugly Country, and going back once is equal to returning to the country once.

Tan Mingming said:

"Didn't you encounter a bottleneck? It's good to go out to find inspiration. Wu Baozhu from South Vietnam knows, he seems to be going too, and he still has 1.5 magnesium gold."

Zhou Yi nodded and said:
"Ou Baozhu, of course I know. The first Fields Medal winner in South Vietnam is famous for proving the basic lemma of the Langlands program."

"Well, I've got the notification in place. If you go, I'll go with you. If you don't go, I'll tell Professor Fellman. Anyway, we don't need to spend money to go out."

Tan Mingming said.

Zhou Yi thought about it for a while, and he took it as a trip, and the gold content of this award is very high, and there are 1.5 magnesium gold.

For so many years in the Great Xia Kingdom, there are only six people who have won this award with the nationality of the Great Xia.

Xu Chengyang, Liu Yifeng, Zhang Wei, Yun Zhiwei and others from the golden generation of Peking University took it, Professor Tian Yi from the Chinese Academy of Sciences took it, and a certain professor from Shangjing University also took it.

Zhou Yi can't fall behind either!The seventh person was taken by Zhou Yi!

"Senior brother, let's go together. Anyway, it's a public trip. It's good to see and see. It should only take four or five days."

Zhou Yi said.

"Okay, pack up, everything we do when we go out will represent the school and the mathematics community of our motherland."

The "Ramanujan Award" was established in 2005 to commemorate Ah San's genius mathematician Ramanujan. It is rumored that this genius mathematician is a time traveler.

Because Ramanujan did not receive any formal education at the beginning, but he was talented in mathematics, and he used to derive formulas intuitively without any proof, and his theories were often proved to be correct afterwards.

For some minkes, Ramanujan is a god-like existence.

In a sense, Ramanujan was a minke before he was discovered by Hardy.

How he came up with those mathematical formulas has always been a mystery.It is also said that Ramanujan was a devout Asan believer, and he believed that these functions were inspired by the goddess Namakar.

According to historical data, Ramanujan wrote a letter to his mentor, the British mathematician GH Hardy, before his death.

He claims to have dreamed up these functions in his dreams and had a strong intuition about their properties.

But no one could understand the function he proposed at the time.It was not until decades later that researchers in the U.S. proved the correctness of the mathematical function proposed by Ramanujan, which can be used to explain the behavior of black holes.

Only then did this Ah San's genius appear in the public eye.

The Srinivaser Ramanujan mathematician only lived to be 32 years old due to poverty, poverty and disease, so Ramanujan was only awarded to young people under the age of 32.

Early the next morning, Zhou Yi and Tan Mingming boarded the plane to Asan's Western Cape Province.

"Junior brother, do you think that a great mathematician like this will be born in our country?"

Tan Mingming expressed emotion, and then looked at Zhou Yi with hope.

In the direction of mathematics, Daxia Kingdom has a long way to go internationally, except for the golden generation and a very small number of mathematics professors.

Zhou Yi said:

"There should be. Maybe next year our country will have a local Fields Medal winner. I think the future is promising for both Sun Song and Chen Gao from the University of Science and Technology of China."

Tan Mingming said with emotion:
"You are our greatest hope. It has basically been booked. Finally, a local Fields Medal can be awarded. A small country like South Vietnam has it. I am really jealous.

Countries like Japan have produced several Fields Medal winners, and we Chinese are all suffocated. "

Zhou Yi was silent, no matter how upset Tan Mingming was, it was true, it was too late to start.

In addition, the mites have delayed the trend of mathematics development for hundreds of years, and it is no longer a problem for these three or four generations.

Until the end of the Ming Dynasty, although the level of mathematics in the Great Xia Kingdom was stagnant, they all had outstanding achievements.

"Even for the Chen Award named after the Chinese, Mr. Chen is also a Chinese national. Mr. Qiu wanted to join, but..."

Tan Mingming looked at Zhou Yi, sighed again and again, and complained frantically,
"Before Wu Baozhu won the Philippine award, among the local mathematicians in Yazhou, only the Japanese island country won the Philippine award."

Zhou Yi was too lazy to listen to Tan Mingming, an older angry youth, but closed his eyes and thought about his own complex analysis method.

I hope that I can gain something from the exchange with Wu Baozhu.

The plane flew for a long time before finally arriving at Ah San's place.

As soon as they came here, Tan Mingming and the others went straight to the hotel hosted by the organizer.

If the environment here is not for winning prizes, Zhou Yi and Tan Mingming may not even want to come here in this life.

Fortunately, the standard of the hotel is relatively high, and the gap between the rich and the poor is indeed visible to the naked eye.

This kind of situation can also be seen with the naked eye in the Ugly Country. The moon abroad is not round at all to ordinary people.

You may not necessarily win a mathematics award.

"Junior brother, the time is tomorrow morning. We came at the right time. Do you need to meet other mathematicians?"

Tan Mingming asked.

"Meet Wu Baozhu? Will he meet us? Will the old guy who has been famous for a long time pay attention to newcomers like us?"

Zhou Yi asked with a hint of doubt.

"It should be, I'll ask you."

Tan Mingming contacted immediately.

Not long after, Tan Mingming said,

"God, he's right next door to our room, 406."

Zhouyi is at 404, and Tan Mingming is at 405.

Not long after, the three met, and the three of Zhou Yi began to chat.

"Mr. Zhou Yi, hello, I have heard of your name Mr. Zhou Yi for a long time. It is better to meet you after hearing it for a long time."

Wu Baozhu said very politely,

Regarding the culture of the Great Xia Kingdom, he has read a lot of translated books.

The Great Xia Kingdom had a great influence on the culture of many countries in Yazhou.

Zhou Yi also said very politely:

"Hello, Professor Wu, I have heard about Professor Wu's story for a long time."

After a while, the three began to communicate.

Speaking of the Langlands Program, Wu Baozhu's eyes were obviously bright and he was very enthusiastic.

This young genius was stronger than Yun Zhiwei, the Great Xia native who he was cooperating with, and his thoughts collided at this moment.

"Perhaps some ideas in your teacher Deligne's algebraic geometry are a desirable direction. I proved that the basic lemma in the automorphic form in the Langlands program was also the method of algebraic geometry introduced. Speaking of which, I also He is his younger generation."

Wu Baozhu said very enthusiastically.

Zhou Yi nodded and said:
"Thank you Professor Wu."

"Haha, I also got some ideas from your thoughts. We want to complement each other. There is nothing to be grateful for."

Wu Baozhu laughed.

After talking for a while, Zhou Yi returned to the room, and Tan Mingming, who was beside him, also returned to the room. He understood most of the content, but Tan Mingming didn't know the predicament Zhou Yi was facing now.

So Tan Mingming asked:

"Junior Brother, what do you mean, did you gain anything?"

Zhou Yi nodded seriously, and said:
"The harvest is yes, but it's not about the 3n+1 conjecture. It inspired me to prove some of the twin prime number conjectures."

Tan Mingming:? ? ? .

"Then you want to change direction again?"

Before Zhouyi released news to prove the ABC conjecture, it turned out that Bill Zhouyi's theorem was finally proved. Is it possible to change the way of thinking now?
Does inspiration come so quickly?

Zhou Yi shook his head and said:
"No, it's just a thread of thought. It's not sure whether it will work or not. Let's rest. We'll leave after the awards are presented tomorrow. There's no need to stay. I want to go back and talk to those Princeton professors."

"Okay! It's really hard to like this place, and I don't know who will give us the award tomorrow, their highest officer?"

Tan Mingming had a doubtful tone.

Zhou Yi complained:
"Forget it, the gold content of the award is very high in developing countries. As for the rest, let's forget it. We will leave after we take it."

Who the hell likes this messy country.

The next day, Zhou Yi, Tan Mingming and Wu Baozhu went to the auditorium where the awards were presented.

The meeting was very grand, many high-ranking officials from Ah San attended one after another, it was very grand!
A diplomat who appeared to be a third-year-old was solemnly reading about Ramanujan's glorious history.

"The great god of mathematics, Ramanujan, is the greatest mathematician in the hearts of our people.

With his mysterious intuition, he left more than 3000 formulas.

In the manuscript of Ramanujan's last year, it was discovered by mathematicians 56 years later. The famous modular function was exactly what physicists prayed for at that time.

In the superstring theory discovered before, many physicists wondered that superstrings exist in 10-dimensional space-time. However, none of these physicists can explain why, and no one can calculate the space-time function of the ten highest dimensions required by the world. .

But Ramanujan's summation is OK, and the mathematics of black holes is also completely established by Ramanujan's mathematics. "

Just listening to the history of this big guy is indeed an excellent and great mathematician, but the way he blows it makes Zhou Yi feel embarrassed.

When can I be blown like this?
But after thinking about it, this is Ah San's characteristic, so he was relieved.

As for whether the official was right or wrong, Zhou Yi didn't know. He still knew too little about physics.

Tan Mingming on the side said:

"Ramanujan really discovered these mathematical formulas by intuition. If he is not a time traveler, I think he is a great genius."

Zhou Yi: "Just relying on intuition is indeed very powerful. It would be great to have his manuscript."

Zhou Yi felt that there were too many geniuses in this world, which were beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. For example, when Ramanujan said it, ordinary people would only think it was bragging.

Another example is Professor Edward Witten of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. only.

And thought it was over?
He directly won the Fields Medal as a physicist.

This makes countless mathematicians feel ashamed.

Is this the end?
Witten established M-theory by using the Calabiqiu manifold proved by Qiu Chengtong as the basic concept in string theory.

Once it is proved that there is a string that plucks the universe, then Edward Witten can be called the pope of string theory.

It can be said that Edward Witten is the strongest liberal arts student in history.

Not long after, it was finally time for the awards.

"The following mathematician who will win the 2022 Ramanujan Award is Zhou Yi, a young genius from the Great Xia Kingdom!"

Zhou Yi walked onto the stage slowly, and said to this senior official he didn't know:

"Thank you for your recognition, thank you IMU for your recognition."

Not long after, Ah San's high-ranking officials personally presented awards to Zhou Yi, and under the witness of countless media, they frantically took pictures,
There are reporters from the Science Journal established by the Daxia Mathematical Association, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and other units.

The 19-year-old once again refreshed the minimum age for this award,
Countless mathematicians looked at Zhouyi, as if they saw Ramanujan back then.

But the achievements of this young man are temporarily inferior to Ramanujan.

PS: The author who asks for a monthly ticket and does not ask for a monthly ticket is not a good author. I am busy attending the wedding of my classmates and relatives these days, so I squeeze the time code, and I will update it after a while.

　Some people say they can't understand the modern version of Goldbach's conjecture.

　　Described in words like this:

　　I. Every even number not less than 6 is the sum of two odd prime numbers;

　　II. Every odd number not less than 9 is the sum of three odd prime numbers.

　　Change it to this way of saying it.I just changed to a mathematical language description to make me appear more professional, so as not to be hung up and sprayed on me as low, I am not professional.

　　I wish everyone a happy National Day, no red bombs, woo woo woo, all kinds of weddings make the author who is not rich even worse.Gan, it's just a follower.
