I really just want to be a scholar

Chapter 396 I Seem to Have Found an Idea to Prove Zhou's Conjecture

Because the first academic report meeting started at 9:00 in the morning, it was only around 8:20 at this time, and the hall of the Princeton auditorium was quite lively, with scholars and college students of different nationalities "shopping" inside.

Yes, there are countless "booths" in the hall, basically each person's booth is about one or two square meters, often a table, a chair, and a poster is a "booth".

These "booths" always reminded Qin Ke of the time when he took Qin Xiaoke, who was still in elementary school, to the city of Yuanzhou to attend her favorite comic exhibition in junior high school.

The difference is that the booths in the comic exhibition are to sell goods to make money, while the stall owners here set up booths mainly for academic exchanges, peer discussions, fame, and project sponsorship.

Listening to the introduction of Mr. Sun Liwen next to him, Qin Ke realized that these booths had to be applied in advance. Those mathematics scholars who had no chance to enter the lecture hall to give academic reports would often upload their academic results to arXiv, and then conduct " "Selling" to let colleagues accept some of their new ideas, and it is best to provide sponsorship so that they can continue to carry out the project.

Mathematics can be said to be the most cost-effective scientific research project, but mathematicians also have to eat, support their families, and buy houses and cars to support their wives, children, and parents. Well, the income is quite good, but many mathematics enthusiasts often can only work as teachers in middle school or even elementary school after graduation, and there are not a few who are unemployed after graduation, and some even refuse to work, just want to indulge in mathematics research.

At this time, sponsorship is needed, so that the bigwigs who participated in the academic report feel that their topics are promising and can produce results, and then sponsor, and the final academic results will be shared by scholars and sponsors.

——Of course, it would be great if there are generous donations from rich people.

So at this time, the stall owners of each booth showed their special abilities, and the topic titles they typed out became more and more exaggerated and eye-catching.

Anyway, as far as Qin Ke could see, he dared to type out such things as "Proof of the Riemann Hypothesis", "Research on the Existence of Smooth Solutions of the NS Equation", "Successfully Cracked the Hodge Conjecture", "Proof of the Goldbach Conjecture" and so on.

But when you get closer, you can see that under the big words of the title, there is a small supplementary word.

For example, in the previous "Proof of Goldbach's Conjecture", there are three very small characters on the back that read "My Opinion".

Another example is the headline "Successfully Cracked the Hodge Conjecture" followed by a small word "Explore Possible Directions".

Qin Ke was delighted to see it.

Of course, such shameless people are only a few after all, and many stall owners who want to be famous and discuss and confirm their views still write their own topic names pragmatically, such as "Solving Linear Design Application Problems Using the Geometric Meaning of Objective Function", "Soliton Algebraic geometric solutions of equations" and so on.

Qin Ke asked Sun Liwen curiously: "Mr. Sun, how did these stall owners come in? It looks like they are well prepared."

"You need to apply in advance, and basically you have to apply for projects that meet the standards and have certain academic achievements before you can enter the 'stall' here."

Qin Ke nodded, walked around the hall twice, and heard many stall owners talking about their achievements to the approaching scholars, but after listening to Qin Ke for a while, either there was nothing new, or there were mistakes and omissions, and they were of real academic value. You have to search hard to find out the stalls.

Looking at his watch, it was almost 9:00, Qin Ke looked up at the arrangement of the report meeting.

There is a fairly large electronic screen above the hall, showing the number of academic reports, academic themes, and which conference room they are in that day.

Academic reports are divided into three grades, one-hour plenary report, 45-minute collective report, and three 10-minute general reports.

The one-hour plenary report is the top level, and only this one report will be arranged within this hour. It is the highlight of the Pudong University academic report, and academic reports are often given by famous mathematicians or young mathematicians who have attracted worldwide attention. Just like today's session from 9:00 to 10:00, it was titled "Algebraic Geometry Methods and Riemann-Schottky Problems in Integratable System Theory" by Igor, a famous master of algebraic geometry at Columbia University Report.

The 45-minute group report is a little inferior, and two sessions will be held at the same time, allowing the audience to choose one of them. Qin Ke's report meeting is of this level.

Although the significance of proving the twin prime number conjecture is not trivial, Qin Ke's reputation in the international mathematics community cannot be compared with those big cows who have been famous for decades and have won many awards. It is quite remarkable to have an academic report of this level It is even more recognized by the international mathematics community than publishing papers in top journals such as "Annual of Mathematics".

The third level is three 10-minute general reports, and five sessions are held at the same time. This category is mainly for young scholars who have achieved excellent academic achievements. However, because there are too many sessions held at the same time, the audience will be greatly diverted, and the influence is natural. Down several levels.

To Qin Ke's surprise, when his eyes fell on the meeting arrangement on the large electronic screen, the number of mathematics academic points actually appeared on it!
In the first one-hour report meeting, the value of mathematics academic points reached 8 points!
其余的45分钟报告会，学术积分价值在5点-7点之间浮动，而三10 minutes的报告会，则在3点-5点之间浮动。

In other words, as long as Qin Ke listens to the report carefully, he can earn academic points.

Qin Ke looked at his system interface.

"Mathematics level: professional level, next level: master level, upgrade progress: 530.5/1000".

For more than a month, he has studied the Polignac conjecture and the second and third processing methods in "The Complete Analysis of the Riemann Conjecture", and he has added about 50 academic points, and he is here to listen to the one-day report , if you listen to the one with the highest academic points value every time, you can get 45 academic points!

If he spends all seven days listening to lectures, he can at least get nearly 300 academic points!
Qin Ke was waiting to be promoted to "master level" to overcome Polignac's conjecture, so he decided without hesitation on his arrangement for the next seven days - from morning to afternoon, all for listening to academic reports!
The evaluation of points value given by the system to the report meeting is quite accurate. After listening to a total of eight report meetings on the first day, Qin Ke really felt a sense of eye-opening and a lot of harvest.

Especially in the one-hour report meeting, Professor Igor, who has won the Fields Medal and is a master, has many viewpoints on algebraic geometry that are very enlightening and academically valuable, making Qin Ke almost overwhelmed.

He made notes for the whole audience, and planned to send a copy to Ning Qingyun at night. I believe that Ning Qingyun, who is studying algebraic geometry, would also like to read these notes.

The report meeting on the first day came to an end at [-]:[-] in the afternoon, and then it was time for rest and dinner.

This is an excellent opportunity to make friends with experts in the international mathematics field. Although Chen Ming and the others were unable to attend the dinner, it was clearly written in the itinerary for Qin Ke that Qin Ke should feel at ease to attend the dinner.

Moreover, I heard from Qingmu University’s Vice President Gu Bojun that the only academician of the Academy of Sciences in Qingmu University who is currently in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for a one-year academic exchange academician Wang Xiaoyun will also participate in this society’s report meeting and dinner , Qingmu University has already contacted in advance, Qin Ke must participate, and get close to Academician Wang Xiaoyun.

Now that the above arrangement was made, Qin Ke naturally wouldn't refuse it. He returned to the hotel first and replaced it with the birthday gift Ning Qingyun gave him—this was specially bought for Qin Ke when Ning Qingyun and his roommates went shopping last week. There are two sets of dresses, one of which is a black casual dress, which is most suitable for such an academic dinner; the other is a relatively formal dress including a tie, which is used for academic reports on the sixth day.

I have to say that Ning Qingyun is really a very careful and considerate girlfriend, and the clothes she chose are also very suitable for Qin Ke's figure and temperament.

Qin Ke took a photo of today's notes and sent it to Ning Qingyun via WeChat.It was just after 5 o'clock in the evening, and it was still early in the morning in Xiaguo, so Ning Qingyun would usually get up around 6 o'clock in the morning to practice the Eastern Secret Code.

These days, she is the only one left to practice the Eastern Secret Code. Will she think of me when she is practicing?

Qin Ke looked at the profile picture of "Little Green Bamboo Wants to Grow Taller", then clicked on the photo album in his mobile phone, found Ning Qingyun's photo and stared at it for a long time before turning off his mobile phone and leaving for the dinner party.

The dinner party started on time at six o'clock in the evening.

Qin Ke walked slowly to the hall where the dinner was held, checked the admission card and walked in. There was already melodious music playing inside, and there were many people dancing ballroom dances on the dance floor, and waiters holding champagne shuttled among the crowd. Rows of delicacies are arranged in a buffet style and can be taken freely.

Qin Ke began to look for Academician Wang Xiaoyun in the banquet hall.He had seen the photos beforehand, and knew that this was a master in cryptography theory. The textbook "Cryptography" currently used by domestic undergraduate mathematics majors was written by Academician Wang Xiaoyun.

At this time, a round-faced and fat man from the Xia Kingdom approached him and said with a smile, "You must be Qin Ke's junior, right? My name is Jiang Yimin, and I'm a student of Academician Wang. I'm doing academic exchanges and research at MIT with him. , this way please, Academician Wang is waiting for you."

Qin Ke exchanged pleasantries with him, and then followed him to see old academician Wang Xiaoyun.

Academician Wang Xiaoyun is nearly [-] years old, but he is full of energy. I heard that he practiced Bajiquan when he was young, and his attainments are quite good. At this time, his waist is straight and his steps are like the wind. It looks like an old man who is almost seventy.

Wang Xiaoyun was obviously very interested in Qin Ke, a talented student from Qingmu. After chatting with him for a while, he smiled and said, "Qin Ke, you have made great contributions to prime numbers. For an old man who has spent his whole life in cryptography, prime numbers are of great importance. If cryptography wants to develop, it is inseparable from the study of prime numbers. If you have time, you can also prove Zhou’s conjecture. Mersenne prime numbers are perfect for the algebraic theory of RSA. important role."

Qin Ke was a little dumbfounded, this old man thinks highly of me, he thinks these conjectures are Chinese cabbage in the market, and I can figure it out if I want to?
Zhou's conjecture is a conjecture about the distribution of Mersenne prime numbers. It is also a world-class problem in number theory, especially in the field of prime numbers. It can be proved that even if it is slightly inferior to the twin prime number conjecture in terms of difficulty, there will never be a big gap.

Academician Wang Xiaoyun said to his student Jiang Yimin: "Yimin, don't put on airs of a senior, and get closer to Qin Ke and help each other."

Jiang Yimin hurriedly said yes.

Academician Wang Xiaoyun was also a heavyweight figure at the dinner party. From time to time, people came to chat. Academician Wang Xiaoyun introduced a few people for Qin Ke, and then chatted happily with a French mathematician. He turned to Jiang Yimin and said: "Yimin, take Qin Ke to eat something, and introduce anyone you know to him."

Jiang Yimin responded, warmly greeted Qin Ke to eat everywhere, and explained to him various banquet techniques. Suddenly someone came over and asked, "Are you Qin Ke from Xia Kingdom?"

Qin Ke turned his head unexpectedly. He was a strange foreign old man, more than 50 years old, with thin eyes and thick eyebrows, and looked dignified.

"I am Qin Ke from Xia Kingdom, old man, you are..."

The old man suddenly smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "Miracle boy, I finally see you. I am Hank Andrew. I am currently teaching at Princeton, mainly in charge of algebraic geometry courses."

"It turned out to be Professor Andrew..." Qin Ke was still a little surprised. How could the professors from Pudong University know him and come to make friends with him?

Jiang Yimin said "ah", and said in a low voice, "This Professor Andrew is the editor-in-chief of "Annals of Mathematics"!"

Andrew smiled and said, "That's right, I'm also working in the "Annual Journal of Mathematics". Qin, I have personally reviewed both of your papers. I have wanted to meet you for a long time."

The appearance of the editor-in-chief of Andrew seems to be a signal, and many people have begun to notice this young man from the Xia Kingdom who has a good chat with Andrew. The editor-in-chief of "Journal of Mathematics" Rovshan Oliver, "New Advances in Mathematics" and "American Mathematical Sciences" Celebrities in the field of mathematics, such as the editor-in-chief of the Journal of Chinese Society, Jeff Rowland, the chairman of the IMO, came to chat with Qin Ke one after another, congratulating him on his academic achievements.

Some professors of mathematics who had met Qin Ke at the IMO award ceremony, such as Giancarlo Luce from the Department of Mathematics of Stanford University, and Professor Portobai Wheeler from Cambridge University, also heard about it.

All of a sudden, Qin Ke was surrounded by masters, who became the focus of the dinner.

Soon, word spread at the dinner party——that Miracle Kid from Xia who proved the twin prime number conjecture is here!

Jiang Yimin rubbed his nose with a wry smile. Academician Wang also asked me to help introduce Qin Ke to the acquaintances at the dinner party. Now it seems that there is no need for this at all. This kid knows several times more big cows than I know. Damn!
……

It was past nine o'clock in the evening when Qin Ke returned to the hotel after the dinner party. After taking a shower, he lay back on the bed and took out his mobile phone. He found that Ning Qingjun had replied to his message, saying that he would study it carefully. He jumped off the bed all of a sudden.

"Qin Xiaoke, I... I seem to have found a way to prove Zhou's conjecture."
