From small town scholar to chief scientist

Chapter 373 Bet
In fact, Yau Mathematics Center has its own advantages, that is, in the direction of differential geometry.

Even if the later successors are not so good, as long as they continue to be cultivated,
It will never fall.

And now that Xiao Wanyi appeared, not only could she perfectly take over this class.

Even now it's possible to go one step further,
This got the whole math center excited.

That's why there was this scene where Bill Carr and Qiu Chengtong suggested to review the manuscript for Zhou Yi.

Only a school with historical heritage can become a super university school.

After Zhou Yi knew Qiu Chengtong's purpose, he called Qiu Chengtong directly.

"Hello, Teacher Qiu? I'm Zhou Yi."

At the end of the phone, a moderate voice rang:

"Hello, Zhouyi? I'm Qiu Chengtong."

Qiu Chengtong said.

Zhou Yi took the initiative to say:

"I understand your purpose. You want me to weave some of the contents into a separate "Number Theory and Geometry"?"

The birth of many mathematics disciplines actually started from the study of some conjectures.

And the birth of these disciplines may not necessarily solve this conjecture.

Such as Kepler's conjecture, such as Goldbach's conjecture, and so on.

But when mathematicians study them, many mathematical tools can be born, and even develop into a new branch of mathematics.

Qiu Chengtong said:
"Indeed, this analytic number theory and geometry is not the same as the several branches of mathematics you founded before,

There are similarities and differences, but the connection is closer.

Perhaps one day, the generalized Riemann conjecture and the Riemann conjecture can be solved to unify all these branches. "

At the beginning, Mr. Chen Shiingshen asked Qiu Chengtong to study the Riemann conjecture.

But Qiu Chengtong finally chose Calabi's conjecture.

Zhou Yi said:

"I also need help, Senior Sister Xiao and her doctoral students, as well as Birkar's doctoral students, some professors and doctors who have researched in analytic number theory,

I will also participate in this matter remotely, and my students who study analytic number theory will also go to you,

Mr. Qiu, with the fame and prestige of yourself, Senior Sister Xiao, Bill Carr and other professors, you can hold a press conference, and maybe you can do a warm-up before this year's International Congress of Mathematicians. "

After listening to Zhou Yi, Qiu Chengtong said:
"That's good. It's decided."

Not long after, Zhou Yi sent this paper to a professor of analytic number theory at Chongqing Higher Academy.
Including Maynard and Zhou Yi's students, there are ten students in total.

Counting the doctoral students, there are a little more, and the number is about 50.

For them, it is also a good thing, at least they can publish some papers and graduate easily.

The professors who participated in the compilation of textbooks can also become textbook editors and stay on the textbooks.

Although the protagonist is Xiao Wanyi.

Seven days later, after everyone read Xiao Wanyi's paper,

Zhou Yi called him to a big office.

"You should have read all of Xiao Wanyi's papers, right?"

Zhou Yi said.

Shen Yiyu on the side said:
"After reading it, Mr. Zhou, you also analyzed the thesis, we must have finished reading it, and also understand the mistakes of Master Xiao.

maybe from"

Zhou Yi nodded and said:
"Just such a thought?"

Zhou Yi was a little disappointed.

Shen Yiyu said:
"It doesn't stop there. From Master Xiao's thesis, we can use her innovative thinking to deduce,

The proportion of non-trivial zero points on the critical line that is greater than zero is fully pushed from 40% to 50%. "

Zhou Yi sighed, at present this is the limit of Shen Yiyu and others.

Zhou Yi turned his head to look at the other professors in the direction of analytic number theory,

Everyone agreed with Shen Yiyu's words, and even persuaded Zhou Yi to do this first.

One more world-class top journal can be added.

Zhou Yi didn't speak, but looked at Maynard.

Maynard said:
"Xiao Wanyi is worthy of being a young genius. The greatest value of this paper is not to improve the proportion of non-trivial zero points on the critical line that is greater than zero.
Rather, the connection between analytic number theory and Riemannian geometry may be further strengthened and become a small branch of mathematics.

Xiao Wanyi is already popular with the master, so I might as well. "

When Zhou Yi heard this, he had to lament that the older Maynard was, the more sophisticated he became.

It is worthy of being born as a genius boy back then.

"Maynard is right, but there is another point, which has broken the way for us.

At least I don't have to study this direction. "

Maynard said with a tone of exclamation:

"The influence of Riemann's conjecture is indeed too great, and it has attracted too many mathematicians.

When Grothendieck was studying the content related to the Riemann conjecture,
Also created a new mathematical tool: flat cohomology (tale cohomology), which has promoted the development of mathematics, especially algebraic geometry. "

Zhou Yi said:

"This is why the Riemann Hypothesis is the most important conjecture of this century,

To measure the importance of a mathematical conjecture is to examine its relationship with other branches of mathematics, and even with branches of natural science such as physics. "

Everyone was silent, Zhou Yi was right.

Seeing that they were silent, Zhou Yi continued:
"In addition to the point mentioned above, there is another indicator of the importance of a mathematical conjecture, which is whether valuable mathematical means have been developed in the process of studying the conjecture.

Obviously, the Riemann Hypothesis is fully satisfied. "

Donaldson said:
"So this mine was dug into a gold mine by Xiao Wanyi,

The future is destined to become a generation of mathematics masters.

I understand old man Qiu's purpose. Dean Zhou, which of us will go to Shuimu University? "

Zhou Yi said:

"All those in the field of analytical number theory should go, and by the way, bring your master's and doctoral students along. It doesn't matter if you can publish papers, the main reason is that this process is a process of gaining knowledge and increasing qualifications.

It can be regarded as a friendly exchange visit. "

"Good academician Zhou."

said the crowd.

She is not at all afraid that Xiao Wanyi's rise will affect the mathematics status of Chongqing Higher Court.

Not to mention that the two millennium mathematical problems were solved, but the several branches of mathematics that were born after solving these two millennium difficult problems,
In particular, the branch of mathematical physics in which the NS equation is connected with the direction of physics, these achievements have made countless colleges and universities despair.

The close cooperation with Yau Mathematics Center is still a matter of Zhou Yi's background.

That trace of incense.

Maynard said:
"In fact, in addition to the generalized Riemann conjecture, there is also an extended Riemann conjecture."

Zhou Yi nodded and said:
"The modified Riemann zeta function used by the extended Riemann conjecture is called the Dedekind zeta function, named after the German mathematician Richard Dedekind.

This function is also an analytic continuation of a series,

The Dedekind ζ function, like Dirichlet's L-function, is an extension of the Riemann ζ function,

They all belong to the deluxe version of Riemann's conjecture. "

Maynard said quietly:
"Compared with the p-series expression of the ordinary Li ζ function, it seems that a subscript K is added to the function name on the left, and the n in the series on the right is replaced by N(I),

Then replace the summation of n with the summation of I.

However, this simplicity is purely a façade brought about by the simplicity of mathematical notation.In fact, there is a big story behind every seemingly small difference here, namely K, I, and N(I).

Academician Zhou, come on, I don't have the courage to study the Riemann conjecture and its promotion.

Xiao Wanyi was wrong, I am not much better than her. "

Everyone also looked at Zhou Yi directly,

I know my own level, if Zhou Yi makes a move,

Riemann's conjecture may indeed be proven.

At that time, perhaps Zhou Yi will not only be the greatest mathematician of this century,

Even mathematicians who will influence the future of mathematics for centuries and thousands of years.

Now Zhouyi created several branches, large and small,

"Zhou's Geometry", "Zhou's Analytic Method", "The Unified Fundamentals of Number Theory and Algebra", and some small branches opened up in "Zhou's Analytic Method", "Zhou's Complex Analytic Method",
Also, when studying NS equations, Zhou Yi introduced partial differential equations into differential geometry and differential topology,

It created a new branch of mathematics, but the content of this branch was done by Zhou Yi and his students.

Currently in a mining area, many people are perfecting this branch of the field, and it is almost done now.
The professors at the Yau Mathematics Center of Shuimu University have also done a lot of work on this branch.

The name of the textbook, Zhou Yi, was already thought up, and it was called "Zhou's Three Differentials".

For the contribution and development of mathematics, the Book of Changes plays a pivotal role in the history of mathematics.

Its status is no less than that of its predecessors. Once Zhouyi proves the Riemann Hypothesis,
Euler, Gauss, Riemann, Newton, etc. all have to rely on it.

The strongest one in the history of mathematics a few years ago will be undisputed, only Zhou Yi has one ear.

And everyone here may also be able to enjoy the glory, know the development ideas in advance, publish more papers, solve one or two mathematical problems,

Mix up a prize or something.

Zhou Yi said:

"Okay, pack up, go out this time, you are the main one, don't lose our face, and if you can,

It's okay to have a discussion with the Department of Mathematics of Shangjing University. "

Learn from each other?

Slap in the face!

Maynard said:
"Okay. Academician Zhou, I will invite them to come and see."

Zhou Yi nodded and said:
"My student Zhang Dugang is the assistant of the team,

He graduated from Mizuki University, so he is relatively familiar with him. "

Zhang Dugang immediately said:
"Okay, Mr. Zhou."

After the conversation, everyone dispersed.

In 2030, Zhou Yi hadn't seen their results yet, and he sighed slightly in his heart.

This year, the Fields Medal and the Chongqing Higher Court probably have no fate.

Even if there is a result this year, it is not certain whether it will be selected.

At present, there are many achievements in the mathematics field, and in 2026, only 2 Fields Medal winners will be selected.
Therefore, 2030 must be a fierce battle between dragons and tigers.

Zhou Yi called and asked his students one by one,
The ending is not very ideal.

It's not their fault, the mathematics problems that can win the Fields Medal,
Is it so easy to solve?

Among Zhou Yi's few students, those who graduated from high school competitions and continued to study mathematics,

Apart from Zhang Dugang, there was no one else.

The others are all well-regarded college entrance examination backgrounds,

Not the group of people at the top of the pyramid.

But if you can win the Fields Medal in your 30s, you are already a first-class mathematician.

Zhou Yi felt lucky that half of the six students won the Fields Medal.

Even if these six students of my own are a bit stronger than the original golden generation.

But the Fields Medal, in addition to strength and hard work, is almost luck.

If the inspiration comes, a sudden epiphany, the math problem in hand is easy to solve.

If it can't be solved for a long time, when time passes, you can only miss it.

Therefore, Zhouyi has to continue to accept students, two students a year, and teach them with heart.

As the number increases, there will always be some awesome students.

In the evening, when I got home, I told Xia Xue about Qiu Chengtong's purpose,
Xia Xue said:

"Are academic factions so important?"

Zhou Yi said:

"Of course it's important. It's like the inheritance of schools in martial arts novels, like the inheritance and ideas of various schools of thought.

But now it has evolved into an academic school of science.

I don't know much about the academic knowledge monopolized by the world's top scholars, and there are countless people who make a lot of money from it. "

Xia Xue gently massaged Zhou Yi's head and said:
"Yes, there are various factions in the Rabbit Writers Association, and there are also many literary factions. There are intrigues and fame and fortune everywhere."

"Go to sleep, go to sleep, tomorrow I will go to see the progress of the space station, if this very sci-fi spaceship can be developed,
And successfully reached the moon, we will also have the opportunity to play on the moon in the future. "

Zhou Yi said with a yawn.

"Can we go up and play?"

Xia Xue asked with a hint of surprise.

Zhou Yi fiddled with the pillow, hugged Xia Xue in a comfortable posture, and said softly:
"Of course, it's just a preliminary design now, and when the technology breaks through later, let alone a spaceship with a thousand tons,

Tens of thousands of spaceships like battleships can be built,
They can also install their own advanced laser weapons, rail guns, and more.

The influence of nuclear fusion will be initially manifested. "

Xia Xue got up and turned off the lights, and also yawned and said:

"Senior is really amazing~, I look forward to one day we can go to the moon together."

Not long after, the two fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, Zhou Yi arrived at the airport in the morning and sent Maynard away.

This is also the first time that Maynard went out as a representative of the Institute of Mathematics of Chongqing Higher Education Institute for so many years.

It represents many meanings.

One of them is that Oxford University has completely said goodbye, and it has completely become the identity of Chongqing Higher Court.

The kind that will share weal and woe with Chongqing Higher Court in the future.

Outside the airport, after Zhou Yi emphasized some things, he left.

Maynard on the side said to Zhou Yi's two students in the direction of analytic number theory:

"The generalized Riemann conjecture that your uncle has not solved, I guess it will be solved by your teacher soon."

Shen Yiyu asked with great interest:

"Professor, how long do you think it will take Mr. Zhou to solve it?"

Maynard spread his hands and said in a speculative tone:

"Oh God. Who's to say, I think maybe after the moon landing in June?"

Shen Yiyu said:
"Then shall we make a bet? My bet is before landing on the moon."

"What's the bet? Could it be my Fields Medal?"

Maynard said in a somewhat uncertain tone.

In the entire Chongqing Higher Court, Shen Yiyu clamored every day to prove the Tao and become a god, to become a future Fields Medal winner.

Shen Yiyu said:
"No, you lose and help me solve one of my tricky math problems, and I lose and I help you solve one?"

"OK, it's a deal! I just have a few problems in my hands, and I can't solve them."

Maynard said confidently.

Shen Yiyu smiled and said:
"It's not certain who wins."
