From university academician to chief academician

August 15th, Kyoto International Convention Center!

It’s half past seven in the morning!

At this time, the door of the International Conference Center opened wide, and countless young mathematicians walked inside.

Everyone is excited, excited, and apprehensive.

The International Conference of Young Mathematicians is a stage for young mathematicians to flex their muscles and show their abilities to the world.

Although they can usually upload their papers to Arxiv and publish them in academic journals.

But that's different. There are countless papers on Arxiv every day, and your published paper may be buried.

Published in academic journals, you are not competing with young mathematicians, but competing with all mathematicians in the world. The difficulty increases exponentially.

Whether it is Arxiv or academic journals, it is very difficult for young scholars to stand out among them.

But the International Conference of Young Mathematicians is different. It is young scholars who compete with each other.

And it has attracted great attention from countries around the world.

Therefore, if you can stand out among them, you can become famous.

Being a mathematician has many benefits.

Whether it is to improve your professional title, obtain funds, or be noticed by big bosses, it is very convenient.

At the entrance of the International Conference Center!

Reporters from various countries have already gathered here.

Xia Guo CCTV reporter Su Yue, holding a microphone, stood in front of the camera and said: "Dear viewers, good morning, everyone. This is the Kyoto International Conference Center, where the International Conference of Young Mathematicians will be held."

"The International Conference of Young Mathematicians is the most watched conference besides the International Congress of Mathematicians."

"At the same time, it is also one of the most watched conferences in the scientific community."

"A country's strength depends on science and technology, its scientific and technological potential depends on academics, its academic foundation depends on mathematics, and its future in mathematics depends on young mathematicians."

"..."

Under the leadership of Academician Wei, Ye Fei and the others followed Academician Wei and walked towards the International Conference Center.

Academician Wei said: "Remember, Ye Fei, your academic report is at the 615th session, the 15th session on the sixth day."

"Yuan Zhengsong, you are in the 525th game, the 25th game on the fifth day."

"Zhou Lin, you are the 321st game, the 21st game on the third day."

"Xu Wen, you are in game 305, the fifth game on the third day."

"Remember the general sequence of your days. When you arrive, the announcer will call your name."

The academic reports, in order, are first a half-hour academic report, then a forty-five-minute academic report, then a one-hour academic report, and finally the remaining are ten-minute academic reports.

The half-hour academic report had the largest number of attendees, followed by the 45-minute academic report, and then the ten-minute academic report.

The least attended is the one-hour academic presentation.

"Got it!" Ye Fei and the others said.

The International Conference of Young Mathematicians has a total of twenty lecture halls, where academic reports are held at the same time.

Each lecture hall serves a classification of mathematics.

Among them, the number theory lecture hall, algebra lecture hall, geometry lecture hall, topology lecture hall and operations research lecture hall have the largest number of people.

After Ye Fei and others entered, they sat down in their seats according to the length of their academic reports.

Different academic report lengths and sitting positions are different.

The people who gave the one-hour academic lecture sat together, and the people who gave the forty-minute lecture sat together.

And people like Academician Wei also sit with a group of academicians.

After Ye Fei sat down, he looked around.

Most of the people sitting around him were white, a few were yellow, and the least were black.

All the people sitting next to him were yellow people.

It can be seen from the seats that yellow, white and black people sit in distinct places.

People of the same race gather and sit together.

"Hello!" Sitting next to Ye Fei was a fat man wearing glasses. He looked very festive and always had a kind smile on his face.

He smiled and stretched out his hand to Ye Fei and said, "My name is Song Chengkun, a professor of mathematics at Bay Province University."

"Hello!" Ye Fei smiled and shook hands with him and said, "Professor of Mathematics at Zhonghu University in Xia State, Ye Fei!"

Song Chengkun looked at Ye Fei in surprise and said, "Professor Ye looks very young. He became a professor of mathematics at such a young age. He is really young and promising!"

Ye Fei chuckled and said, "The school favors me and makes me a professor."

Song Chengkun naturally didn't believe this. If you don't have the ability, it's impossible for the school to let you become a university professor.

Song Chengkun asked: "What aspect of number theory does Professor Ye study?"

"Gaussian conjecture!"

"Are you studying the Riemann Hypothesis?"

This is common sense in mathematics. The ultimate study of Gaussian conjecture is the Riemann conjecture.

Ye Fei shook his head and said: "I didn't think so much. I'm just interested in Gaussian conjecture. As for Riemann's conjecture, I think many people in the mathematics world want to study it!"

"Although I also want to do research, my ability is limited."

"Maybe one day in the future, I will study the Riemann Hypothesis when I feel that I am capable enough."

"I definitely don't have the ability to study it now."

"Even if I wanted to, I would be powerless."

The Riemann Hypothesis is coveted by everyone in the mathematics world. As long as it is proven successful, he will become the most famous mathematician in the world.

But the Riemann Hypothesis is there, and no one has been able to prove its success so far.

Song Chengkun nodded slightly, sighed, and said helplessly: "Yes, it is too difficult, and I am powerless."

Ye Fei asked: "I wonder what you are studying?"

"Triplet Prime!"

Ye Fei looked at him in shock. He was another man with a hole in his head.

What is not good in studying is to study prime numbers.

This is the biggest pitfall of number theory.

Among the prime numbers, there are twin primes, triplets, and quadruplets.

The difference between them is as their names say.

Twin primes are two primes that differ by 2.

Triplet primes are three adjacent odd numbers.

Quadruple prime numbers are four consecutive prime numbers within ten.

Song Chengkun saw Ye Fei's strange expression and asked doubtfully, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay!" Ye Fei shook his head.

"Is there a problem with my research?" Song Chengkun asked.

"No problem!" Ye Feidao.

"Then what's your expression?"

Ye Fei said helplessly: "I just feel that you are brave enough to study prime numbers."

"What's wrong with studying prime numbers?" Song Chengkun asked: "Do you think prime numbers are a big pit and you shouldn't study them? Are you afraid that I won't be able to get out?"

Ye Fei said nothing, but the expression on his face was obvious.

Yes, I just think this is a big pit, and I’m afraid you won’t be able to climb out if you get in it.

"If everyone thought like you," Song Chengkun said, "No one would study prime numbers, international cryptography would not develop, information security would not be guaranteed, and the prime numbers needed by industry would not be updated. "

"So, I must study prime numbers."

"If I don't go to hell, who will?"

Ye Fei was shocked to hear it. Yes, if everyone didn't study it, then many industries would need prime numbers and would not develop.

Ye Fei doubted himself: "Am I wrong? Should I try to study prime numbers?"

Song Chengkun said: "Actually, prime numbers are not as scary as you think."

"And the reason why many people think prime numbers are a big pitfall is because the research on prime numbers has no end."

"If you get tired of studying prime numbers, you can always give up."

Ye Fei nodded in his heart, as if this was the case, he could give up at any time.

There is nothing shameful about giving up.

Ye Fei asked with interest: "How many years have you been studying prime numbers?"

"Ten years!"

"How many prime numbers were found?"

"Uh..." Song Chengkun hesitated on his face and said with a dry smile: "I haven't found one yet."

Ye Fei was speechless. He had been researching for ten years and still couldn't find a single prime number.

Then your ten years of research have really been in vain.

Of course, Ye Fei would definitely not say this.

Song Chengkun said: "Although I didn't find prime numbers, it allowed me to do some research on the Fibonacci sequence."

Prime numbers have little to do with the Fibonacci sequence.

But Fermat’s Little Theorem has a lot to do with the Fibonacci sequence.

There is a certain relationship between prime numbers and Fermat's Little Theorem.

Therefore, prime numbers are related to the Fibonacci sequence.

Fibonacci Sequence, also known as the Golden Section Sequence.

It was introduced using rabbit reproduction as an example, so it is also called the rabbit sequence.

The Fibonacci sequence plays a great role in the scientific community. It has direct applications in modern physics, quasicrystal structure, chemistry and other fields.

Moreover, the Fibonacci sequence is also widely used in computer C language programs.

To this end, the National Mathematical Society of North Korea has published a mathematics magazine named "Fibonacci Sequence Quarterly" since 1963 to specifically publish research results in this area.

Ye Fei asked with interest: "What aspects of research?"

Song Chengkun said: "Generalized Fibonacci sequence."

Ye Feidao: "That's pretty good."

While he was talking, the academic report on the stage had already begun.

In the next few days, Ye Fei chatted with Song Chengkun and listened to academic reports.

He felt that having someone to chat with would not be so boring.

Ye Fei asked: "What academic report did you make?"

"The application of infinite series in proving the properties related to the Fibonacci sequence."

Ye Fei nodded: "Which game are you in?"

"601!"

"The first session on the sixth day?" Ye Fei was shocked. It was actually the same day as his academic report.

"Yes!" Song Chengkun said: "Speaking of which, we have two great players going to play that day."

"Great God?" Ye Fei was confused: "Who is it?"

"One is Amata Maynard, son of James Maynard."

"One is Balazs Hawkins, a student of Vladimir Vvotsky."

"Amata is 613 and Balaz is 614."

"Vladimir Vvotsky?" Ye Fei was surprised: "Is he the 2002 Fields Medal winner?"

"It's him!" Song Chengkun said with a smile: "I heard that the academic report topics of these two people are exactly the same. One is the son of a Fields Medal winner, and the other is a student of a Fields Medal winner. These two people It’s time to fight between the dragon and the tiger!”

"The International Mathematical Union is also interesting, ranking the academic reports of these two people closely together."

"It's really interesting. It's a good show."

Ye Fei was surprised. He didn't expect that there was another person. Including himself, there were three people.

Ye Fei asked: "I heard that there is another person whose academic report topic is exactly the same as theirs."

"There is another person?" Song Chengkun said in surprise: "This person is looking for death!"

"The subject of their academic report is exactly the same as these two people's. How can he defeat these two people!"

"If he does this, wouldn't it be a fight between gods and mortals would suffer!"

Song Chengkun shook his head and said with emotion: "I don't even know what to say. This person is so stupid."

Ye Fei rolled his eyes in his heart, you are stupid, your whole family is stupid.

Song Chengkun smiled and said, "It's more interesting now."

"This man came to the International Conference of Young Mathematicians in vain."

"He must regret that he chose the exact same academic report topic as Amata."

Ye Fei said cautiously: "I don't think he regrets it!"

Song Chengkun glanced at Ye Fei and said, "You're not him, how do you know he won't regret it?"

Ye Fei cursed in his heart: "Of course I know, because I am that person!"

Song Chengkun asked: "By the way, which academic report is yours? What is the theme?"

"615, the topic is Gaussian number conjecture!"

"615?" Song Chengkun said in surprise: "It's the same day as me, and it's also behind Amata and Balaz. They..."

Suddenly, Song Chengkun's eyes widened and he looked at Ye Fei in shock.

The air seemed to be frozen, and a flock of crows flew overhead.

After a long while, Song Chengkun smiled and said: "Ye Fei, you are..."

"Yes!" Ye Fei nodded: "It's just what you think. I am the one doing the same academic report topic as Amata and Balazs."

"Hehe..." Song Chengkun said with a smile: "Um, Ye Fei, can you forget what I just said?"

Ye Feidao: "I don't think I can forget it. It was the first time I was called stupid. It was so impressive!"

"Haha..." Song Chengkun laughed and said, "Ye Fei, are we friends?"

"It was ten minutes ago, but it's not now."

"No, Ye Fei."

Time quietly came to the sixth day, and the first session of the sixth day was Song Chengkun's academic report.

During this period, Ye Fei listened to many academic reports, which opened his horizons and gained a lot of inspiration.

[Please invite Song Chengkun, professor of mathematics at Xiaguowan University, to prepare to take the stage to give an academic report. 】

A voice came over the radio.

Song Chengkun stood up and took a deep breath.

Ye Fei cheered him up and said, "Come on!"

"Yeah!" Song Chengkun nodded sharply, and then walked towards the stage.

Song Chengkun stood on the stage and said: "The larger n is, the closer F is..."

Ye Fei nodded secretly. Judging from Song Chengkun's academic report, his ability was still very strong.

Also, being able to give a one-hour academic report at the International Conference of Young Mathematicians is very capable.

If he is not very capable, the International Mathematical Union will not let him give a one-hour academic report.

An hour later, with warm applause, Song Chengkun walked off the stage.

After sitting in his seat, Song Chengkun took a long breath and said, "Finally, I'm done."

"I don't like giving speeches on stage the most. Every time I have to spend a lot of time preparing the speech in advance, I have to go on stage to give a speech nervously, and I am worried about whether I will not be able to speak well."

"Hey..." He sighed and said, "It's so uncomfortable. Every time I give an academic report, it's like fighting a war."

After saying that, he looked at Ye Fei and asked, "Aren't you nervous?"

"Why am I nervous?" Ye Fei said blankly, "What is there to be nervous about?"

Song Chengkun looked at Ye Fei suspiciously: "Don't forget your two competitors, but Amata and Balaz, are you really not nervous at all?"

"Does being nervous help?"

"That's right!" Song Chengkun agreed: "You're going to lose anyway, so you won't be nervous."

Around three in the afternoon, Amata began taking the stage.

As the son of a Fields Medal winner, he attracted much attention.

Moreover, many people know that the theme of his and Balaz's academic reports is exactly the same.

Today, these two people are going to compete.

One is the son of a Fields Medalist, and the other is a student of a Fields Medalist.

Everyone is looking forward to the contest between them.

As for the third party Ye Fei.

Who is Ye Fei?

No one pays attention.
