From small town scholar to chief scientist

Chapter 372 Qiu Chengtong's Real Purpose
As soon as Bill Karl said this, everyone fell silent.

Every day in the mathematics section of scientific research assistants, many mathematics professors claim to have proved the Riemann conjecture,

As for the generalized Riemann conjecture, there are countless.

There are also some famous professors among them.

But in the end their papers were found to be irreversibly wrong.

So it's hard to say whether Xiao Wanyi's thesis is correct or not.

Their height in the field of analytic number theory has not yet reached the pinnacle of this field.

So you have to find a big guy to take a look.

Who to look for is debatable.

They know a lot of people abroad, and they also know a lot of people in China.

The strongest domestic analytic number theory is definitely Chongqing Higher Court.

Both Zhou Yi and Maynard are experts in the study of analytic number theory.

Its achievements needless to say,
As for foreign countries, they also have a wide network of contacts. From ugly countries to Europe and island countries, there are basically no top experts in the field of analytic number theory that they don't know.

Qiu Chengtong hesitated for a while, then said:

"Even if Wanyi's paper is wrong, it can be regarded as going in one direction.
It will provide some ideas for many people, so find Zhou Yi and the others.

I'll call them personally, Wanyi, what do you think? "

Xiao Wanyi frowned, and said coldly:
"How can I look at it, my mother is not, I think I must be right. I am a beautiful girl who is a genius in mathematics."

Everyone rolled their eyes, no one would think that their thesis was wrong,

But there are always a lot of people who are wrong.

Qiu Chengtong also rolled his eyes. Since Xiao Wanyi won the Fields Medal,

His personality has also changed a lot, and Qiu Chengtong didn't bother to care about it.

"Then Wanyi has no objection, let's do it like this."

Qiu Chengtong said with a final word.

"It's mainly because of Junior Brother Zhou Yi's face that I am willing to give them a review."

Xiao Wanyi said unconvinced.

Since you can't get the people and heart of Zhouyi, if you can surpass Zhouyi in the field of mathematics,
That can also be very satisfying.

And Zhou Yi was busy all day,

The time to study mathematics is far less than myself, even if Zhou Yi is more talented than myself,

But time and effort will always make up for it.

Not long after, Zhou Yi received a call from Qiu Chengtong.

"Hello, Zhou Yi, I'm Qiu Chengtong."

Qiu Chengtong said on the phone.

"Teacher Qiu, what's the matter?"

Zhou Yi pretended to be confused while pretending to understand.

After cursing secretly in his heart, Qiu Chengtong said seriously:
"Wanyi proved the generalized Riemann conjecture. We are a little uncertain about the paper. I want you and Maynard to help take a look."

Zhou Yi said:

"Okay, Mr. Qiu, I will take the time to read it."

Qiu Chengtong rolled his eyes and said:

"It's best to take a look in the next few days, and just tell me if there are mistakes."

Zhou Yi also rolled his eyes, my system task is to do this.

Xiao Wanyi proved it right, what should I do with my mission?
Would have known if I had chosen the rest of the millennium math conjecture.

Although a generalized Riemann conjecture is very important, compared with a complete millennium mathematical problem,

Still not enough to watch.

It can only be said that the first step of the Long March to solve the Riemann conjecture.

Only if the Riemann Hypothesis is truly solved, it may be comparable to the current Zhouyi.

This is also the reason why many people are eager to move.

Zhou Yi alone created nearly three branches of mathematics,
Without proving the most violent mathematical conjecture, there is no way to compare with it.

Who wouldn't want to step on Zhou Yi's head?
Zhou Yi replied:

"Okay, Mr. Qiu, after all, I am not as important as Senior Sister Xiao."

Qiu Chengtong frowned and said:

"Don't do it, boy, it is impossible for a generalized Riemann conjecture to surpass you, and my intuition tells me,
There is a high probability that Wanyi's paper is wrong.I don't know much about analytic number theory, so it depends on what you say. "

Zhou Yi said:

"Row."

Zhou Yi sighed, luckily he didn't tell Xiao Wanyi personally, otherwise the family member would not only sigh and be weird,

Xiao Wanyi estimated that she would fly directly from Shanghai to Chongqing Higher Court.

At that time, if you don't handle it well, you have to bear it yourself.

Not long after, Zhou Yi saw that he had received an email on his email.

Xiao Wanyi's thesis was attached to the email.

Zhou Yi sighed. In the past, his thesis was reviewed by others for free.
Now I am helping others to review manuscripts for free.
Causal cycle ah.

In the past, others read their papers with excitement, trembling and unwillingness,
Now I have no choice but to read other people's papers.

Zhou Yi didn't ask Maynard to watch it together, so he watched it first and then talked about it.

The thesis is a bit long, and the old rules of the Book of Changes are still based on the abstract.

It doesn't matter if you look at it, you just saw that Xia Xue was taken home in the early hours of the night.

Xia Xue still knows a little about Zhouyi's scientific research task now,
It's far less busy than before, and it's impossible not to go home now.

Most of them are working overtime again.

The assistant doctor repeatedly told Xia Xue that for Zhou Yi's health, it is best to rest regularly and not to work overtime and stay up late.

For Zhou Yi's health, Xia Xue would definitely urge Zhou Yi to take a good rest.

Zhou Yi said as he walked:
"Teacher Qiu called me today."

Xia Xue took Zhou Yi's arm and asked softly:

"Is it a big deal?"

Zhou Yi nodded and said:
"It's a big deal, a conjecture more important than Goldbach's conjecture."

Xia Xue raised her head, looked at Zhou Yi with eyes like stars, as if she had guessed something and asked:
"Could it be that Senior Sister Xiao has made a big breakthrough."

Zhou Yi glanced at Xia Xue with a guilty conscience and said:
"almost."

Xia Xue gave Zhou Yi a white look, and said:

"Most of the papers that Mr. Qiu asked you to read are in the field of mathematics that he is not good at.

And the area that Shuimu University Yau Mathematics Center is not good at is estimated to be the field of analytic number theory of Senior Sister Xiao. "

After speaking, Xia Xue blinked at Zhou Yi, as if to say, am I smart?
Zhou Yi held Xia Xuexue's white hand and said:
"That's right. Sister Xiao claims to have proved the generalized Riemann conjecture."

Hearing this, the corners of Xia Xue's mouth couldn't help turning into a zero shape,
Having been with Zhou Yi for so many years, I have also learned a lot about the frontiers of mathematics.

"Then, wouldn't that mean Senior Sister Xiao is going to be famous all over the world?"

Xia Xue said with a hint of surprise.

Zhou Yi said:

"It's not necessarily right. I see some problems in a few places. If there is no accident, it may be an irreversible mistake."

Xia Xue said softly:
"Senior, you are also studying this issue. Xueer must hope that this issue can be solved by you."

My wife's beauty is me, and I am also private.

Zhou Yi held Xia Xue's hand tightly, his eyes met, under the moonlight,

The two long figures said nothing.

Zhou Yi forcefully said:

"It must be me."

Back home, after washing up, Zhou Yi didn't stay up all night.

Listen to Xia Xue's words and go straight to sleep.

The next day, Zhou Yi did not read Xiao Wanyi's paper during the day,

Now that something is wrong, don't worry.

It is right to deal with the problem of landing on the moon first.

Regarding the moon landing, not only Zhou Yi told the aviation institute about the problems,

In addition to Zhou Yi's selfishness, it is also necessary to build a transfer station to defend against aliens, all of which need to be done on the back of the moon.

Since Zhou Yi overthrew the traditional rocket,
A new generation of spaceship models are also beginning to be designed.

Zhou Yi said to the designers in the laboratory at the moment:

"Since the traditional spacecraft has been abandoned, our new spacecraft must not only be full of technology, but also
It must also meet the requirements, but also meet our calculation requirements.

Ten nuclear fusion engines are enough to support a thousand-ton starship. "

These designers were all transferred from other places and have been engaged in the aerospace field.
To keep the spacecraft from falling apart, some mathematicians and physicists participated in the design.

"Alright Academician Zhou, we will work hard."

After talking with the people here, Zhou Yi came to the Institute of Genetics and Life Sciences.

This institute was built with Professor Yan as the main body.

Professor Yan has changed from his own field to the field of studying the account of the Book of Changes.

Plants that can grow in space, and small animals in captivity,

All kinds of biological experiments will be carried out on the moon.

As for the life and death of these creatures, that is none of the researcher's business.

There is a saying that the little white mouse is a good friend of mankind.

"Academician Zhou, our side has almost prepared for it for many years.

Just waiting for the spaceship to finish. "

Professor Yan also looked at Zhou Yi expectantly at this moment.

At that time, the personnel on the spacecraft will also have personnel from their research institute,
Take time to imagine how big the impact factor of the articles they send out is.

Zhou Yi said:

"That's good. All the papers will be published in the "Natural Journal of Yugaoyuan" by then.
The impact factors of our series of journals can go up,
The battle with the academic centers of the West and Ugly countries has not ended yet. "

Professor Yan's eyes lit up and said:

"It is only a matter of time before they surpass them. What has been accumulated for several years has not exploded.
When it erupts later, it will definitely be earth-shattering and attract the attention of people all over the world. "

After arriving at Professor Yan's side, Zhou Yi went to the Institute of Physics again,

In space, there are many physical experiments that need to be done,

Personnel must be prepared in advance.

When everything is settled,
Zhou Yi continued to read Xiao Wanyi's paper.

In the middle of the 19th century, the German mathematician Riemann published a major point of view in a paper, that is, the mystery of the distribution of prime numbers is completely hidden in a special function, which is the famous Riemann ζ function.

A series of special points that make this function take the value of 0 will have a decisive influence on the distribution of prime numbers.

These points are called the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function.

If the Riemann conjecture is expressed in the most concise language, it is that the real part of all non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function is equal to 1/2;

If the plot is made on the complex plane, these zeros are all distributed on the straight line whose real part is 1/2.

After the Riemann conjecture was proposed, in order to study the distribution of prime numbers on the arithmetic sequence, the German mathematician Dirichlet introduced the Dirichlet L function.

This function is seen as a generalization of the Riemann zeta function.

Many mathematicians, including Zhou Yi, believe that the zero points on the Dirichlet L function are also located on the straight line whose real part is equal to 1/2, which is the generalized Riemann conjecture.

The generalized Riemann conjecture is as important as the Riemann conjecture, and its value is unimaginable.

The correctness of many mathematical propositions is verified under the assumption that the generalized Riemann conjecture is correct.

If the generalized Riemann conjecture is wrong, there will be a large number of wrong mathematical propositions,
The mathematical disaster brought about is very large.

As for the Landau Siegel zero-point conjecture,
It is also a conjecture born from the study of the generalized Riemann conjecture.

The German mathematician Siegel and his mentor Landau found that when they studied the Dirichlet L function,
An abnormal zero point may not exist on the straight line whose real part is 1/2,

Rather, it is located very close to 1.

And this zero point is also named the Landau-Siegel zero point.

If this zero point really exists, then the generalized Riemann hypothesis will be overturned.

Although the generalized Riemann hypothesis has not yet been proven, many mathematicians acquiesce in its correctness.

Therefore, it is guessed that the Landau-Siegel zero point does not exist, which is the Landau-Siegel zero-point conjecture.

The result of Xiao Wanyi's previous verification is that Landau Siegel's zero point does not exist.

Based on the work of Zhang Yitang, the final improvement was carried out, and this problem was completely solved.

That's why Qiu Chengtong and others were hesitant about Xiao Wanyi's paper.

Because there are only a few people in the world who are most qualified to prove the generalized Riemann conjecture,
And Xiao Wanyi is one of them.

Regarding the thesis, it took Zhou Yi more than a week to finish reading it.

Regarding Xiao Wanyi's talent, Zhou Yi had no choice but to marvel at its strength.

The error in the thesis was discovered by Zhou Yi,
But some correct content involved in it can open up a new branch of mathematics,
Form an introduction to a branch of mathematics.

However, it needs a person who has a strong foundation in analytic number theory and geometry to complete it.

If Zhou Yi still doesn't understand what Qiu Chengtong is thinking,
So many years of living in vain.

Obviously, Qiu Chengtong discovered the mistake here accurately,

And Qiu Chengtong must have discovered the value inside.

His level of analytic number theory is not enough to support the birth of this branch of mathematics,

Xiao Wanyi's current level cannot support the birth of this branch of mathematics.
The entire Yau Mathematics Center could not support the birth of this branch of mathematics.

But Yugao Court can do it, Zhouyi can do it.

The achievements of Zhou Yi in the direction of analytical number theory and geometry are too high,

It is simply impossible to ignore.

The strength of the Yau Mathematics Center of Shuimu University is beyond doubt, and it is the world's top mathematics academic center.

But the status of its successor is not very strong.

If there is a successor like Schultz,

Then Qiu Chengtong will not have to worry about the successor at all.

But the difficulty of opening up a branch of mathematics can be imagined.

That's something only a mathematician can do.

The younger ones in the world are only Zhou Yi and Schultz and a few people who have done it.

If Xiao Wanyi can open up a new branch of mathematics, then it will be unparalleled and of great significance to the Yau Mathematics Center of Shuimu University.

Zhou Yi also clearly knew the respective problems in it, sighed, and reluctantly began to write out the mistakes in the thesis and some useful conclusions in the thesis.

At the beginning they helped themselves to perfect the "Basics of Algebra and Number Theory", and now no matter what the reason was, Zhou Yi would help with this.
