I really just want to be a scholar

Chapter 743 Is the Millennium Problem of the NS Equation Solved?
Although Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun had made their mark in the international mathematics circle in August in the past year, the published "Ten Questions by the Famous Chinese Mathematician Obadiah Sean! " and "Studies on the Existence of Smooth Solutions of NS Equation in 60% Cases Using Three-Layer Infinite Flow Cycle Algorithm" still aroused great attention and sensation.

"Ten Questions by Obadiah Sean, a famous Chinese mathematician! I will not mention it, which directly led to the ruin of a "mathematics fighter" who caused countless headaches, and made the name "Obadiah Sean" a laughing stock and dust of history.

"Research on the Existence of Smooth Solutions of NS Equation in 60% Cases Using Three-Layer Infinite Flow Circulation Algorithm" is even more exaggerated, pushing the progress of proving the existence of smooth solutions of NS equation to 60% in one fell swoop! The "three-layer infinite flow loop algorithm" is a wonderful mathematical processing method that has amazed countless mathematicians.

Even though Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun "disappeared" in the mathematics world again after August last year, there are still legends about them in the world, especially those mathematics teams and even physics teams that study NS equations are always paying attention to them Dynamic.

The NS equation is a well-known difficult problem in mathematics and physics. There are [-] or [-] teams all over the world who have conducted in-depth research on it. For the mathematics team, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun are the number one enemy. The papers on the NS equation can turn the research results of countless teams that have spent several years or even ten years of hard work into worthless waste paper, which makes people feel depressed while swearing.

But these mathematics teams have to admit that as long as they conduct in-depth research on the papers of Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun, they can indeed open their minds and achieve a lot of results. Among other things, at least one or two papers can be published in the top journal Papers related to it - this is barely an academic achievement.

Therefore, the mathematics teams studying NS equations from all over the world hate and love Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun. They hope to see more papers published by them, and they can follow their direction to achieve results first, but Fearing that the two of them would publish too many results too quickly, they solved the general solution of the NS equation first.

The mentality of the physics team is much simpler. In their eyes, the NS equation is just an extremely effective tool that can be used in the study of fluid mechanics. Whoever can provide a better way to use the tool or even optimize the tool itself is the most popular in their eyes. People who welcome—this kind of mentality is barely appropriate to use the metaphor of "a mother is a mother".

Mathematical teams all over the world are not only related to NS equations, but also teams that study other number theory problems or other partial differential directions, and these directions are the most famous and best-known directions of Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun, and these teams will naturally pay attention Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun.

The above-mentioned teams add up to more than 50.Calculated by an average of five people in each research team, it also means that at least 100 people are closely watching the dynamics of Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun, plus countless mathematics lovers, physics lovers, and admirers of the two Fans, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun's accounts on arVix have more than [-] million followers.

You should know that arVix is ​​a pre-collection platform for academic research papers. Only scholars, researchers or students of related majors will be active on this platform, and the average number of daily active users is only about 500 million.With 100 million followers, one can know the terrifying influence of Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun in the international academic circle.

Therefore, during the Spring Festival, Qin Ke took the time to log in to his account in person and published the paper "Proving the Existence of Smooth Solutions to NS Equations in Three-Dimensional Space", the whole arVix soon boiled over, and the website administrator sent the It will be announced on the whole site and recommended in the most prominent position on the home page.

Almost everyone who paid attention to this matter rushed to tell the news—Professors Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun from Xia Guo made a major breakthrough in the research of NS equations, "The existence of smooth solutions of NS equations in three-dimensional space The problem of the Millennium Prize is a big step closer to being completely solved!

As long as mathematicians who have studied the NS equation in depth know very well that it is proved that a smooth solution exists, it is definitely not too far away from finding this smooth solution (that is, the general solution)!
In less than five hours, the number of downloads of this paper exceeded [-].

Not only did the number of comments in the comment area below the paper surge at a rate of [-] per hour, but in several large global mathematics forums, posts related to this paper also increased at an alarming rate.

[My God, he and she are fighting again! 】

[Is the millennium problem of the NS equation solved? 】

[Not yet, but we have seen the dawn of a solution!Although I haven't read the paper yet - in fact I can't read it either.It's a bit funny to say that, as a doctoral student in the Department of Mathematics of MIT, I can't understand this paper. 】

[Not surprisingly, my supervisor was rubbing his forehead when he saw this paper.The previous "three-layer infinite flow loop algorithm" was complicated enough, but the "waterfall infinite flow loop algorithm" proposed by the two of them this time is even more outrageous.My tutor even said that there will not be more than 100 mathematics masters in the world who can fully understand this new algorithm within five days!Oh, my advisor is Professor Alessio Figalli, the former two Fields Medal winners, and his main research direction is partial differential equations, metric geometry and probability theory. 】

[My tutor, Professor Pierre-Louis Lions, also finished reading it overnight, and said three sentences in a row, "The mathematics circle in Xiaguo is about to rise". 】

[Professor Lions, a Fields Medal winner?He can be said to be the most authoritative expert in the field of partial differential equations!It seems to be the teacher of Professor Alessio Figalli.Didn't he find a flaw in the thesis? 】

【No.It's a bit unbelievable to say that after Professor Qin Ke's paper was published, I didn't see anyone publicly jumping out to question or criticize...]

【Heh, what's so strange about this.Professor Qin Ke and Professor Ning Qingyun have published twenty or thirty papers, right?Have you ever seen someone pick a thorn out of it?What happened to Obadiah Sean, the only weirdo? 】

[Indeed, I am from the University of California, Los Angeles. Someone asked Professor Tao Zhexuan about this paper in class today. Professor Tao said that this is a classic paper worthy of serious and repeated study a hundred times , and said that it will be of great significance to the study of partial differential equations in the human mathematics community.Look, Professor Tao also highly respects this paper. 】

[My supervisor has announced the disbandment of the NS equation research team while scolding Fa Keyou, and I am also unemployed. I want to go to Xiaguo to do research with Professor Qin and Professor Ning. I wonder if they will accept people? 】

[I see Xuan.I have never heard of Professor Qin and Professor Ning recruiting assistants and researchers in mathematics. The two of them always rely on the strength of two people to study mathematical problems. When they proved a series of mathematical conjectures, they did not find anyone else. help. 】

【Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh 】

Similar conversations abound in major international mathematics forums.

No one doubts that Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun's joint attack will have any major problems, especially Qin Ke has a "mythical" talent in mathematics, and the Riemann's conjecture, which is of the same level of difficulty as the NS equation, is It fell under Qin Ke's pen.

Now that Qin Ke has published the latest research results, the NS equation has half-kneeled in front of him and his female partner. Many people have been hit to despair. Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun put too much pressure on them. I think that instead of continuing to waste time and energy on this topic, I should choose other topics if I want to survive by docking my tail.

So overnight, I don’t know how many people stuffed the thick manuscript paper into the shredder, and I don’t know how many people went to the pub to get drunk—they have completely given up on continuing the research in the direction of the NS equation.

Of course, there is also a team of mathematicians who do not believe in evil and have tenacity. After printing out the paper, they stay behind closed doors and study this paper with all their strength, in order to find out the general solution before Qin Kening and Qingyun—at least this way. Get a share of the honor and bonuses!

In any case, when old Mr. Faltings spread the news that Professor Qin Ke would give a speech on this paper "Proving the existence of smooth solutions to NS equations in three-dimensional space" at the "Einstein Science Award" selection conference in Sweden After the special report, the entire international mathematics community was filled with crowds. I don’t know how many well-known mathematics masters booked air tickets to Sweden, which actually doubled the price of air tickets to Stockholm, the capital of Sweden...

On the contrary, in the domestic mathematics circle, this paper did not cause much sensation.

First, after all, this is only a staged achievement, and it is not a real solution to the millennium mathematical problem of "the existence of smooth solutions to NS equations in three-dimensional space".

Secondly, most of the mathematicians in China have already "bad" Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun's super god performance inertia. Anyway, these are two god-level existences, and they can't be provoked, at most sour It’s fine to say a few words of “remarkable”, why pay so much attention, and won’t give me any money.

There are also quite a few narrow-minded people who toss and turn all night envious and jealous at the thought that there might be another millennium math problem falling under the pen of these two young academicians.

Only teachers and elders who are closely related to Qin and Ke will sincerely celebrate their achievements.

Unlike the professors and teachers, the student group has aroused extremely strong repercussions, causing the number of people who want to apply for Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun's postgraduates to surge again. According to online voting, there will be at least 80 graduates from the Department of Mathematics Students and graduate students hope to be their students.

For this reason, I don’t know how many people study at night and put in ten times more effort than the college entrance examination in the past to study the mathematics textbooks specified by Qin Ke in the "Admission Notice", hoping to pass the written test interview in April.

In the male dormitory of the School of Mathematics at Beiyan University, Liang Shaoping is one of the senior students who study at night.

As Qin Ke's former IMO teammate, Liang Shaoping has always followed Qin Ke's example and tried hard to catch up with him.

Qin Ke designated 40 mathematics textbooks for graduate students. With Liang Shaoping's talent and hard work, he only finished intensive reading of 31 books, leaving 9 books left.And there is only more than one month left before the written test on April 4st.

Liang Shaoping didn't even go back to his hometown during the Spring Festival, so he stayed at school to prepare for the war. He stayed in the library during the day and in the dormitory at night. During the holidays, the huge campus was eerily quiet, but he didn't pay attention at all. study life.

It was late at night, Liang Shaoping rubbed the sore corners of his eyes, and climbed onto the bed to take a rest.

Even though he likes mathematics very much, such intensive study every day really exhausts him physically and mentally.

However, this kind of study that is almost painstaking can clearly feel the progress, and this is also one of the motivations for Liang Shaoping to persevere.

It was not until he was resting on the bed that he saw the WeChat messages on his mobile phone. The roommates in the same dormitory were all discussing the latest paper "Proving the Existence of Smooth Solutions to NS Equations in Three-Dimensional Space" by Academician Qin and Academician Ning.

[It's too good, I can only understand the first three pages, and I don't understand the rest at all. 】

【Damn it, I want to be their graduate student even if I'm desperate. With such an amazing tutor, as long as I work hard, I won't be able to learn anything? 】

[I read the comments on the Internet, and the number of competitors has increased significantly!Hey, I only read 25 textbooks, and there are 15 more! 】

[That is, Academician Qin is a master who is proficient in almost all sub-directions of mathematics. No matter which direction you want to study, you can apply for his graduate student.We have to work hard!Strive for all four of us to be admitted to his graduate school! 】

[By the way, is Shaoping still in school?He might pass the exam. I don't have much confidence now...the competition is too fierce. 】

Seeing this, Liang Shaoping didn't bother to participate in the group chat. He opened the arVix website and quickly found Qin Ke's paper.

"NS equation? This is the direction of partial differential equations..." This is the direction Liang Shaoping is most interested in.

He opened the thesis, and it was all in English, but Liang Shaoping used to cram for the IMO and passed CET-[-] in college, so he could barely read it fluently.

It's just that the content inside is too profound, and he can barely understand about five pages.

"Brother Ke and sister-in-law are really amazing..." Liang Shaoping quickly determined that this thesis was not something he could understand at his current level, but it also aroused his enthusiasm.He didn't waste any more time. He turned off the page and got up, went to the bathroom to wash his face with cold water, and returned to read the rest of the math textbooks with vigor.

His eyes are full of fierce fighting spirit, no matter what, he must use his strength to break out of the encirclement and become Brother Ke's student!
Only by following in the footsteps of such top experts, can I go further and further on my favorite path of mathematics!

……

Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun didn't pay attention to the fact that the mathematics community in the whole world was boiling because of their latest papers. In fact, they didn't care about these reputations anymore.

It has nothing to do with them how other people talk about it, not to mention that the truly talented academics will not have time to reply to long-winded articles in the online papers and comment areas. At most, they will directly surpass each other like their good friend Professor Tao It was a great pleasure to call from abroad to discuss.

When the two arrived in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, it happened to be the morning of March 3, and there was still about a day and a half before the "Einstein Science Award" selection meeting that began on March 1.

　Thank you "Eternal God" for your reward!
