From a university student to a chief academician

Chapter 104 Ye Fei Nobody Pays Attention

On August 8th, Kyoto International Conference Center!

07:30 am!
At this time, the door of the International Conference Center opened wide, and countless young mathematicians walked inside.

Everyone was full of excitement, excitement, and apprehension.

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

Although usually they can hang their papers on Arxiv and publish them on academic journals.

But that's different, there are countless papers on Arxiv every day, and the paper you publish may be buried.

Publishing in academic journals is not to compete with young mathematicians, but to compete with all mathematicians in the world, and the difficulty has increased geometrically.

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. Young scholars compete with each other.

And it has received a lot of attention from all over the world.

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

There are too many benefits for a mathematician to become famous.

Whether it's promoting a professional title, obtaining funds, or getting the attention of bigwigs, it's all very convenient.

The entrance of the International Conference Center!

Journalists from all over the world have long gathered here.

Xia Guo CCTV reporter Su Yue stood in front of the camera with a microphone in hand, and said, "Good morning, everyone, this is the Kyoto International Conference Center, where the International Youth Mathematicians Conference will be held soon."

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

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

"The strength of a country depends on science and technology, the potential of science and technology depends on academics, the academic background depends on mathematics, and the future of mathematics depends on young mathematicians."

"..."

Under the leadership of Academician Wei, the four of Ye Fei followed Academician Wei to the International Conference Center.

Academician Wei said: "Remember, Ye Fei, your academic report is on the 615th session, which is the No.15 session on the sixth day."

"Yuan Zhengsong, you are the 525th game, the No.20 fifth game on the fifth day."

"Zhou Lin, you are the 321st game, the No.20 game on the third day."

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

"Remember the general order of the scene on the first few days. When it's time for you, there will be an announcer calling your name."

Academic reports, in order, are half-hour academic reports first, then 45 minutes, then one hour, and the rest are 10-minute academic reports.

The half-hour academic report has the largest number of participants, followed by the 45-minute academic report, followed by the 10-minute academic report.

The minimum number is a one-hour academic presentation.

"Understood!" Ye Fei said four people.

The International Young Mathematicians Conference has a total of [-] lecture halls, and academic reports are held at the same time.

Each lecture hall is for a classification of mathematics.

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

After Ye Fei and the others entered, they took their seats according to the duration of their academic report.

The duration of different academic reports requires different seating positions.

The one-hour academic report sits together, and the four 10-minute sit together.

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

Ye Fei sat down and looked around.

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

All the people sitting next to him were of yellow race.

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

People of the same race all gather and sit together.

"Hello!" Sitting next to Ye Fei was a fat man wearing glasses, looking very festive, with 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 the University of Wanzhou."

"Hello!" Ye Fei smiled and shook hands with him, and said, "Xia Guozhong Lake University Mathematics Professor, Ye Fei!"

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

Ye Fei smiled lightly: "The school loves me and let me be a professor."

Song Chengkun naturally didn't believe this. If you don't have the ability, the school will let you become a university professor, which is impossible.

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

"Gauss conjecture!"

"Is it researching on the Riemann Hypothesis?"

This is common sense in mathematics, and the ultimate study of Gauss' conjecture is Riemann's conjecture.

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

"Although I really want to study, but my ability is limited."

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

"It is definitely impossible to study now."

"Even if I want to, I'm powerless."

Riemann conjectures that everyone in the mathematics world covets it, and as long as it proves successful, it will become the most famous mathematician in the world.

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

Song Chengkun nodded slightly, let out a long sigh, and said helplessly: "Yes, it's too difficult, and I'm powerless."

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

"Triplet primes!"

Ye Fei looked at him in astonishment, another man with a hole in his head.

It is not good to study anything, but to study prime numbers.

This is the biggest pitfall of number theory.

Among the prime numbers, there are twin primes, triplet primes and quadruplet primes.

The difference between them is exactly what their names say.

Twin primes are two primes that differ by 2.

A triplet prime is three adjacent odd numbers.

Quadruplet primes are four consecutive prime numbers less than ten.

Seeing Ye Fei's strange expression, Song Chengkun asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

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

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

"No problem!" Ye Fei said.

"Then what's your expression?"

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

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

Ye Fei didn't speak, but the expression on his face was already obvious.

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

"If everyone thinks like you." Song Chengkun said: "No one will study prime numbers, international cryptography will not be developed, information security will not be guaranteed, and prime numbers needed by industry will not be updated. "

"So, I must study prime numbers."

"I don't go to hell, who goes to hell?"

Ye Fei was shocked to hear that, yes, if everyone does not study, then many industries need prime numbers and cannot 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."

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

"If you feel tired of studying prime numbers, you can give up at any time."

Ye Fei nodded in his heart, as if so, he could give up at any time.

Giving up is nothing to be ashamed of.

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, and said with a dry smile, "I haven't found one yet."

Ye Fei was speechless. After ten years of research, he still hasn't found a single prime number.

Then your ten years of research are really wasted.

Of course, Ye Fei would never say this.

Song Chengkun said: "Although I didn't find a prime number, it gave me a certain amount of 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.

The Fibonacci sequence, also known as the golden section sequence.

It is introduced by taking rabbit breeding as an example, so it is also called rabbit sequence.

The Fibonacci sequence plays a great role in the scientific community. In modern physics, quasi-crystal structure, chemistry and other fields, the Fibonacci sequence has direct applications.

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

For this reason, the North American Mathematical Society has published a mathematical journal named "Fibonacci Sequence Quarterly" since 1963, which is used to publish research results in this area.

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

Song Chengkun said: "The generalized Fibonacci sequence."

Ye Fei said: "That's pretty good."

During the speech, the academic report on the stage has already started.

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

He felt that chatting with someone seemed not so boring.

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

"The application of infinite series in the proof of the correlation properties of the Fibonacci sequence."

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

"601!"

"The first session on the sixth day?" Ye Fei was astonished, he was actually on the same day as his academic report.

"That's right!" Song Chengkun said: "Speaking of which, we have two great gods going to play that day."

"Great God?" Ye Fei wondered, "Who is it?"

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

"One is Balats Hawkins, a pupil of Vladimir Vvotsky."

"The two of them, Amata is 613, and Balazs is 614."

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

"It's him!" Song Chengkun said with a smile: "I heard that the themes of the academic reports 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. Let the dragon fight the tiger!"

"The International Mathematical Union is also interesting, and the academic reports of these two people are arranged next to each other."

"It's really interesting, there's a good show to watch."

Ye Fei was surprised, he didn't expect that there was one more person, and adding himself, there were three people.

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

"There is one more person?" Song Chengkun said in surprise, "This person is looking for death!"

"It turned out to be exactly the same as the subject of the academic reports of these two people. Can he beat these two people!"

"If he does this, isn't it a fight between gods and mortals will 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, "This is even more interesting."

"This person came to the International Conference of Young Mathematicians for nothing."

"He must have regretted choosing the same academic report topic as the two of Amata."

Ye Fei said cautiously: "I don't think he should regret 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 one is your academic report? What's the theme?"

"615, the topic is the Gaussian number conjecture!"

"615?" Song Chengkun said in surprise, "It's the same day as me, and it's still behind Amata and Balaci, they..."

Suddenly, Song Chengkun widened his eyes and looked at Ye Fei in astonishment.

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

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

"Yes!" Ye Fei nodded: "It's what you think in your heart. I'm the one doing the same academic report topic as Amata and Balatz."

"Hey..." Song Chengkun said with a dry smile, "Well, Ye Fei, can you forget what I just said?"

Ye Fei said: "I don't think I'll forget it, it's the first time I was called stupid, I'm so impressed!"

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

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

"Don't, Ye Fei."

The 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 eyes and gained a lot of inspiration.

[Please invite Song Chengkun, a professor of mathematics at Xia Guowan Provincial University, to give an academic report on stage. 】

Voice over the radio.

Song Chengkun stood up and took a deep breath.

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

"En!" Song Chengkun nodded fiercely, and then walked to the stage.

Song Chengkun stood on the stage and said, "When n gets bigger, F gets closer..."

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

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

He is not very capable, and the International Mathematical Union will not let him give an 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, "It's finally over."

"I don't like speaking on stage the least. Every time I have to spend a lot of time preparing the speech in advance, and then I have to give a speech nervously, and worry about whether I can't speak well."

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

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

"Why am I nervous?" Ye Fei asked blankly, "There's nothing to be nervous about."

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

"Is it useful to be nervous?"

"That's right!" Song Chengkun agreed, "Anyway, if you are going to lose, you must not be nervous."

Around three o'clock in the afternoon, Amata began to take the stage.

As the son of a Fields Medal winner, he has received a lot of attention.

And, as many people know, his and Balatz's academic report topics are exactly the same.

Today, the two will have a contest.

One is the son of a Fields Medal winner and the other is a student of a Fields Medal winner.

Everyone is looking forward to the contest between them.

As for the third party, Ye Fei.

Who is Ye Fei?

Nobody pays attention.
