From small town scholar to chief scientist

Chapter 323 Proving the BSD Conjecture!

Not only did Wiles put down his work and start studying Xiao Wanyi's thesis.

Zhang Yitang and Tao Zhexuan, who are very accomplished in this direction, also began to read Xiao Wanyi's papers.

It has been proved that Jacobi conjectures that the big guy's paper is worthy of their careful reading.

As for Zhou Yi's current work, they may have to wait for Zhou Yi's news.

They may have the idea of ​​competing with Zhou Yi, but the temptation is obviously not as great as Landau Siegel's zero-point conjecture.

It would be interesting if that zero point really existed.

I don't know how many hypotheses related to it will be directly cool.

The premise of many theories is to conduct research on the basis that the generalized Riemann conjecture is correct.

Once the generalized Riemann conjecture is cool, what these people do will be meaningless.

Terence Tao said to the 2014 Wolf Prize winner Peter Sarnak with a wry smile in Princeton:

"Are you going to continue to compete with Zhou Yi or read this paper on the zero-point conjecture?"

Peter Sarnak says:
"Old man, I'm not a young man's opponent. I'll send a statement to Zhou Yi in the research assistant's personal account later to study Xiao Wanyi's paper."

Tao Zhexuan said with a straight face:

"I'll go later, so I won't compete with Zhou Yi. Let him go this time, and I will crush him next time."

After saying this, Tao Zhexuan blushed and felt a little guilty when Peter Sarnak saw it.

Hey, who can't do it anymore, Zhou Yi is not here anyway.

Sanak smiled at last, didn't speak, and then looked at the paper by himself.

And Schulz of the University of Bonn also gave up studying the BSD conjecture.

After so many days of research, I still haven't touched the door.

It seems that the idea has come out, but there are more details than he thought.

What kind of mathematical tools are used specifically, what is the idea, after careful research, I found that it is not as simple as expected.

Why not read Xiao Wanyi's thesis and see which universe you live in.

At the University of California, Santa Barbara, Zhang Yitang looked sad,
For this issue, he has the most say.

When he saw the method used by Xiao Wanyi, he had a strong hunch that it might be right.

but,
Whether it is correct or not has to be looked at carefully.

I just don't know if there will be a press conference.

Chongqing High Court,
Since Zhouyi's thinking became smoother, the subsequent process has become faster and faster.

The circle method has already been involved in Zhou's analytical method,
Cooperating with Iwasawa's theory, Zhou Yi felt that the road was under his feet.

In mid-May, Yugaoyuan is full of mountains and colorful flowers.

The warm wind is slightly intoxicating, and the fragrance of flowers is everywhere.

In the evening, Maynard came to Zhou Yi's yard again.

"Professor Zhou, what's the situation? It's really about to be settled, and the IMU has been urging us."

"The content of the report really needs to be reported, and there are only two months left before the conference begins."

Zhou Yi saw the anxious Maynard and said:

"Don't worry, don't worry, there's no problem, it may take a month or half a month, and the result will be given to you.

Even if it is fruitless, the Goldfeld conjecture can be the subject of a report. "

Maynard still said in an anxious tone:

"Then I'll report Goldfeld's conjecture first?"

Zhou Yi shook his head and said:

"No, just report the BSD guess."

Maynard sighed and said:
"Professor Zhou, you don't know that your senior sister Xiao Wanyi has posted a paper proving Landau Siegel's zero-point conjecture.

The eyes of everyone in number theory all over the world are focused on this place.

Maybe she will report the Landau Siegel zero-point conjecture at the International Congress of Mathematicians. "

When Zhou Yi heard it, he didn't expect Xiao Wanyi to publish this paper.

A long time ago, Zhou Yi heard Qiu Chengtong say that Xiao Wanyi was studying this conjecture,

Unexpectedly, in about a year, it was really proved by Xiao Wanyi,
Although I don't know right now.

Zhou Yi said:

"What do you say about those number theories? What does Mr. Zhang say? What do you think?"

Maynard is also an expert in number theory, and his speech is very valuable.

"At present, no one has expressed their opinions. I am still reading that paper, and I will know the specific results after reading it."

Maynard didn't hide anything, and said directly.

Zhou Yi nodded and said:
"Okay, just delay, it's impossible to keep me from making the report, right?

Then the gold content of this conference will be the lowest in history. "

Maynard: .

You are a boss, you have the final say, they really have to spoil you.

After Maynard left with Zhou Yi's good news, Zhou Yi lamented Xiao Wanyi's rapid growth.

Although there is a lot of credit for myself.

But this talent is still very good.

Zhou's analytical method is a very good tool in number theory.

Just when Zhou Yi saw the sun set completely,
Academician Ma is here again.

As soon as he stepped into Academician Zhou Yi's house, Academician Ma couldn't help but smile from ear to ear and said:
"Professor Zhou, good news."

Zhou Yi said:

"What good news, it came again today."

Seeing Academician Ma's expression, Zhou Yi guessed something,
It's nothing more than some technological breakthroughs in the sixth-generation fighter jets, but I don't know which direction it is.

Academician Ma said:
"Haha, the air-to-air missile has been successfully developed, and now it is preparing to be transported to the west for experiments,
In addition, laser weapons are also in the process. It feels like there is an explosive leap after the International Conference of Mathematicians. "

From Zhou Yi's meeting of the sixth generation fighter to the present,

More than three months have passed, and all the results are taken for granted.

Zhou Yi said:

"You can post this news on the Internet to boost everyone's self-confidence."

"Okay, I'm mainly here to announce the good news to Professor Zhou Yi."

Academician Ma said,
"In addition, we plan to appoint you as the chief scientist and chief engineer of the sixth-generation fighter jet."

Zhou Yi said:

"Okay, everything is fine."

"Within this year, a model machine will definitely be produced, and then the failures of all aspects of the model machine will be detected and data collected. Mass production will be possible in the second half of next year."

Academician Ma gave a rough plan, which was quite different from what Zhou Yi had formulated at the beginning.

Zhou Yi said:

"That's right, there are more faults in the model machine, the more data we collect and improve, the stronger the fighter can be,
From theory to time, there are two worlds, and we need to treat them carefully.

This is not only a matter of the life safety of the pilots, but also the result of our hard work, which must be worth tens of billions of dollars. "

"Professor Hao Le Zhou, we will report to you when we have some results."

Academician Ma said that the success of the sixth-generation fighter jet is due to Zhou Yi, whose contribution is indelible.

Moreover, the Yugao Institute spends more than 400 yuan per year, and more than 300 billion yuan has been invested in the development of the sixth-generation machine. The cost can be imagined.

If it weren't for the other research institutes desperately leaving a lot of funds, Zhou Yi's office would have started a fight.

In fact, billions of dollars are not enough to spend, and there will be a lot left every year.

At that time, it is estimated that it will also be directly invested in the sixth-generation fighter jets.

This is also the reason why the sixth-generation fighter jets are making rapid progress.

With the maturity of various theories and technologies, sufficient funds, and policy support, there is no reason why it cannot be accelerated.

This is also the reason why we can catch up with others who have developed for decades within one or two years.

After the sun had completely set, Zhou Yi returned to his study and began to get busy seriously.

Xiao Wanyi's paper Zhouyi didn't have time to read it. The entire number theory community should have no problem reading this paper, and it's not a super difficult problem.

Riemann guessed that these big problems are similar, or he might learn from Mochizuki Shinichi to come up with a cosmology.

When Zhou Yi was busy, some forums had postings from time to time with masters and doctors in mathematics.

[Are there any brothers who do number theory? What about the papers of Professor Zhou and Professor Xiao? 】

[Professor Zhou’s thesis has already been spoken by a bigwig in the field of number theory, and it is basically the winner of the Fields Medal and the Wolf Medal.
People like Wiles and Schultz think it’s okay,
However, no one has spoken about Professor Xiao's thesis so far, because it has only been published for a few days, so it is impossible to read it so quickly. 】

[Don't talk about brothers, my mentor and I are studying the BSD conjecture. My mentor persuaded me to change the direction of probability theory. He himself put all his eggs in one basket to compete with Zhou Shen, and compare who can prove the BSD conjecture first.

I'm so stupid now, I really want to go to the rooftop to blow air. 】

[Brother, shouldn't he be the doctor of Professor Tian of the Chinese Academy of Sciences? ? 】

[Brother, what are you doing? I used to study Kepler's conjecture, and now it's the third year after graduation. I thought I wouldn't bump into Professor Zhou if I changed directions.
I didn't expect to collide again now, this time with Professor Xiao, God, please let those two animals whine earlier. 】

[Brother mourns, I feel that the direction of our research is not very stable. I can forget about graduating early and going to artificial intelligence, or studying Zhou's geometry. 】

The doctor who collided with Zhou Yi and Xiao Wanyi now wants to kill Zhou Yi twice.

The Air Force Research Institute of Chongqing University of Higher Education also released the research results.
For a time, public opinion in the world was all about Chongqing Higher Education Institute and Shuimu University.

Zhou Yi didn't know why, after talking with Maynard, he was inspired,
Looking at Professor Tian Ye's thesis, for the odd prime number p, they already have a set of systematic theoretical proofs for the p-part of the BSD formula in the modular form of ranks 0 and 1.

But these results still need to make some assumptions, not as complete as the complex multiplication case.

For the case of p=2, due to the technical difficulties in Iwasawa's theory, Professor Tianye's team did not make any major breakthroughs.

Currently there are only some results for some special families.

The technical difficulties in Iwasawa's theory troubled not only Professor Tian Ye, but also the professor who competed with Zhou Yi.

It seems that it can be proved, but in fact, there are still many things that need to be dug deeper.

It is common for a person to accidentally study for a year or two, and even make no progress in a year or two.

But just tonight, after the improvement of Zhouyi, the situation of P=2 has been successfully solved. As for whether to publish it or not, there is no need for it for the time being.

Zhou Yi stretched his waist, looked at the time,
May nineteenth.

"Take a break on May [-], and the rest of the work just needs to be done before the college entrance examination.

Half a month is almost enough. "

Zhou Yi washed up and went back to his room to sleep.

Heavy mental work often makes people more tired,
If it is long-term heavy mental work, the probability of turning around is very high.

In the following time, while Zhou Yi was busy,

Xiao Wanyi's thesis has gradually been recognized by everyone.

The Landau-Siegel zero does not exist, and the generalized Riemann hypothesis is still correct so far.

This made many people breathe a sigh of relief.

Because too many theories are based on the existence of the generalized Riemann conjecture.

The method used by Xiao Wanyi is a combination of Zhou's analytical method and the counter-evidence method used by Zhang Yitang in the previous paper.

The argumentation method used by Zhang Yitang before is the classic "contradiction proof method" in mathematics.
Also known as 'evidence by contradiction'.

Zhang Yitang assumed that the Landau-Siegel zeros existed in a weak form. After derivation, it was found that this would cause other zeros in the Dirichlet L function to be arranged at very regular intervals.

But in reality, the distribution of these zeros does not have such a regularity, and the spacing between consecutive zeros is unpredictable.

Therefore, it turns out that the Landau-Siegel zero does not exist in this interval.

Although the method of proof by contradiction is already a very classic method in mathematics, Zhang Yitang applied it to the extreme.

Therefore, a definite result was not given but only until 2024.

But that's already a big deal.

The difference between 2024 and 1 is quantity, and the difference between infinity and 2024 is quality.

From a number that was originally unknown whether it was infinite to a finite number, Zhang Yitang can be said to be a qualitative leap to a certain extent compared to past proof results.

And rewrote the information book in a certain direction of number theory.

Xiao Wanyi, on the other hand, brings forth the new through the old, combined with Zhou's analytical method, skillfully uses the sieve method and the round method,
Some methods combined with Zhang Yitang have been thoroughly proved.

Zhang Yitang once also described the Landau Siegel conjecture,
It is impossible to make 2024 become 1 by traditional methods, and it is only possible by adopting new methods.

The number theory community is not only shocked by this, but also deeply impressed.

This girl is only 24 years old, one year older than Zhou Yi, so talented,

On the history of mathematics in the future, it may not be impossible to leave a name.

Qiu Chengtong took in two good apprentices, and all mathematicians of the older generation sighed.

For this year's Fields Medal, Great Xia Kingdom has reserved two pieces.

I just don't know if Sun Song has made some big achievements. If he makes some big achievements,

Maybe the Chongqing Higher Court can win two Fields Medals.

Just when the number theory community was amazed by Xiao Wanyi's paper,
Zhou Yi's thesis also entered the final juncture.

All the tools are ready and there is no problem with the train of thought,

Zhou Yi hasn't come out to bask in the sun in the evening these days,
Write your thesis wholeheartedly.

Just after the college entrance examination, Zhou Yi's thesis on the BSD conjecture was fully formed.

After checking several times, Zhou Yi felt that there was no problem at all.

Zhou Yi murmured:

"Finally proved it. This time, I didn't rely on the system, I didn't use the sudden inspiration, and I didn't use the focus capsule.

Just relying on my own mathematical skills, it took a little more time.

But it's all worth it. "

Seeing that Xia Xue didn't come back from work in Yugaoyuan, Zhou Yi went to the kitchen to get a bottle of champagne, poured a glass, and drank it on his own.

The wine is mellow, and the result must be earth-shattering and unprecedented!
