From a university student to a chief academician

Chapter 19 p=t
"There are 52 people giving academic reports in the mathematics lecture hall of this forum." Dong Siyuan took his mobile phone and checked the official website of the forum: "You are the fifth from the bottom."

"So, today and tomorrow, it's none of your business. I didn't meet you until the afternoon of the day after tomorrow."

Ye Fei nodded, that's good, he can spend two and a half days listening to the report with peace of mind, and learn a lot of knowledge.

Around two o'clock, the host came to the stage and introduced the leaders present.

The leaders are all mathematics professors and government officials from well-known universities in Shanghai.

Then the leader came to the stage to speak and said a lot of official words.

Ye Fei was sleepy after listening to it. Ever since he was a child, he was most annoyed by the leader's speech.

The key is that these leaders still talk eloquently for a few ten minutes.

He doesn't think about the audience at all, no one really wants to hear a lot of nonsense from the leader.

At around three o'clock, the leader's speech finally ended, and some scholars began to give academic reports on stage.

Ye Fei cheered up and began to listen to the academic report.

"It's the right time to come to this academic report." At six o'clock in the evening, I left the lecture hall and walked towards the hotel.

"These scholars are from the top universities and research institutes in many countries in Asia."

"They themselves are the best group of young mathematicians in Asia."

"Their mentors are world-renowned mathematicians."

"You can learn a lot from them."

Ye Fei looked at the system, and the task progress had reached 68%.

Before coming, the task progress was 50%.

In just three hours, his mission progress increased by 8%.

"If it is said to increase by 8% in three hours, it is almost an increase of 2.6% in one hour."

"Then in the next few days, you can listen to the 44.2-hour report meeting, then the task can be increased by [-]%."

Ye Fei was taken aback by the progress: "If calculated according to this, then the task progress will reach 94.2% after the forum is over."

"A forum, the task is almost completed."

"Then shall I go back and do research with my supervisor?"

"Isn't it possible that I have proved the problem of the extremely small tower before I go back?"

"No!" Ye Fei shook his head: "The progress of scientific research cannot be calculated by mathematical ratios. The further the research is, the more difficult it is, and the progress will be slower."

"But no matter how slow it is, the task progress should reach 80%."

"Ye Fei, let's go, I'll take you to a fun place." Dong Siyuan laughed.

"Aren't we going to eat?" Ye Fei asked in surprise.

After listening to the report meeting for a long time, I was hungry.

"Ye Fei, you have to remember that this kind of event is not just for you to attend the lecture, but more importantly, for you to make friends."

"In the academic circle, ability is very important, and so are connections."

"Especially in Xia Kingdom, connections are our national condition."

"The network is extensive, which is very convenient for cultural exchange, scientific research cooperation, scientific research funding and job promotion."

"Even the selection of academicians is a competition of connections."

Dong Siyuan carefully looked around, and whispered: "In the academic circle, some people have a lot of connections and don't have much real talent and learning, but they are also very successful."

"In this day and age, it's just laughing at the poor and not laughing at the prostitutes."

"The Eight Immortals cross the sea, each showing their magical powers!"

"As long as you are good at it, others don't care if you have real talents or not."

"Of course, only a real boss can ignore everything."

"For example, Qiu Chengtong, who won the Fields Medal, Mr. Qiu."

"One person is his network, and the other is the scientific research center. If he wants a job and a scientific research fund, he can get it at his fingertips."

"When others send it to him, it depends on whether he likes to take it or not."

"But we are not Old Qiu after all, and there is no one in the entire Xia Kingdom who can compare with him."

"He can ignore it all, we can't."

Ye Fei nodded.

"I'll take you to meet some people." Dong Siyuan smiled.

"Senior, don't say my name. After all, you know that many people are here for me. I don't want to attract attention."

"Okay!" Dong Siyuan thought for a while and said, "Then I will say that you are my junior, and I won't say your name."

"Row!"

Soon, they enter a hall where a party is going on.

In the middle is a long table with a lot of food on it.

All the young scholars are holding dinner plates or wine glasses and communicating with others in the hall.

Dong Siyuan went forward to chat with people he knew, and when he introduced Ye Fei, he said he was a junior, and came to get acquainted with the world.

Those present not only engaged in mathematics, but also physics, chemistry, materials and energy.

Various disciplines are mixed and communicated, and various ideas collide.

There are also exchanges on set theory, and Ye Fei occasionally inserts a sentence next to it, which is often to the point and attracts attention.

But they just glanced at Ye Fei and marveled at his wit, and then they continued to communicate with others.

Next, it's the same for the first day and the second day.

The time came to the third day, this afternoon, it was Ye Fei who took the stage.

At this point his task progress reached 85%.

And today's audience is also the largest in the past few days, after all, many people are here for Ye Fei.

According to the list on the forum's official website, Ye Fei took the stage on the afternoon of the third day.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, the host came to the stage and said, "Welcome Ye Fei from Zhonghu University!"

"Clap clap clap..."

Amid warm applause, Ye Fei stepped onto the stage.

"It's him?"

Many people were surprised when they saw Ye Fei.

Because they saw Ye Fei at the dinner party these two days.

Many people thought Ye Fei was very clever at the time, but they did not expect that this person was Ye Fei. No wonder he had many novel ideas about set theory.

Some people regret not having a good chat with Ye Fei. After all, Ye Fei is very capable in proving the singular base, and he will definitely have a place in the mathematics world in the future.

For such a person, you should make friends with him and expand your network.

Of course, many people marveled at Ye Fei's youth, as expected, he was only about 22 years old, just like an ordinary college student.

Ye Fei stepped onto the stage and said, "Hi everyone, I'm Ye Fei."

Then he began to explain the singular bases, writing the proof steps on the whiteboard as he explained.

At the same time, it is displayed on a large LCD screen through the camera.

In this way, everyone in the room can clearly see the content on the whiteboard.

[There are two graphs G1 and G2, the vertices are V=V(i=0, 1, 1, ., j=0, 1, 2, .)...]

Most of the people present were dumbfounded.

"Fuck... I don't understand..."

"What's all this talking about?"

"It's too esoteric. I obviously spent a month studying his thesis beforehand, but I still can't understand it."

"I'm a Ph.D. in Mathematics from Shuimu University, but I can't understand a dissertation written by a low-level 985 who is studying for a Ph.

"I am a Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Tokyo, but I can't understand the mathematical proof process of a Xia country scholar, Amaterasu!"

"..."

Ye Fei was giving a lecture for the first time and had no experience, so what he said could only be understood by those who had in-depth research on set theory.

And there are very few of these people present.

Dong Siyuan discovered this situation because he couldn't understand it either.

He sent a WeChat message to Ye Fei, asking Ye Fei to speak as simple as possible.

Ye Fei can only try to simplify the content so that more people can understand it.

But there is a problem here. I want to simplify the content so that more people can understand it.

Then the amount of content to be said should be increased, starting from the bottom.

比如2x2，不能说2x2，而是说1+1+1+1。

From the simplest content, it is deduced layer by layer, so that the content can be simplified and complicated in quantity, and complicated and simplified in quality.

After Ye Fei changed his way of explaining, many people present took a long breath and finally understood.

This also shocked many people, who did not expect Ye Fei to be more capable than them at such a young age.

Sure enough, I can't accept it!

Many people are also amazed that this is a mathematical genius.

Mathematics wants to go deep, and only a genius can do it.

Half an hour later!

Ye Feidao: "When A is included in B, and A has a strong finite exchange property, then A is equal to B..."

Suddenly Ye Fei was stunned, recalling the sentence he just said in his mind, A is equal to B.

"A equals B..."

All the knowledge in the brain is integrated, slowly forming a set of proof formulas.

Seeing Ye Fei with a dull expression and no longer speaking, many people looked at each other in doubt, discussed with each other, and guessed what happened to Ye Fei.

The scene became noisy.

Dong Siyuan looked at Ye Fei worriedly, he didn't know what happened to Ye Fei.

The host wanted to go on stage to remind Ye Fei to continue his speech.

But before the host came to the stage, a middle-aged man sitting in the leadership seat waved his hand to stop the host.

The middle-aged man is from Fudan University, a professor of mathematics at Fudan University, and a doctoral supervisor.

One of the top mathematicians in China, mainly researching recursion theory and mathematical logic.

Set theory is also one of his research.

He knew Ye Feilai, so he came to participate in the forum as a leader, and wanted to hear this young man who had recently become famous, his idea of ​​proving the singular base.

He looked at Ye Fei in surprise, and exclaimed: "This is a natural mathematician, just giving lectures, and he bursts into inspiration."

Others couldn't see it, but he could tell that Ye Fei had an inspiration.

You can't disturb him at this time, otherwise the inspiration will be cut off.

After a long time, Ye Fei raised his head and said with a smile: "Sorry, I just thought of some questions, let's continue to explain."

After 10 minutes, the explanation is over!
Then there were questions, and Ye Fei answered them perfectly.

When Ye Fei was about to step down, the Fudan professor asked, "Ye Fei, may I ask, what were you thinking about just now?"

Ye Fei looked at the professor and said, "In the very small tower problem, p=t."

"Woo..." Many people present exclaimed.

The minimal tower problem is one of the core problems of set theory.

There are two major problems in it, p=t and proving p=t under ZFC.

If it is proved that p=t, three-quarters of the problem of the minimal tower has been completed, and it is not far from proving the problem of the minimal tower.

The professor was surprised: "What you said is true?"

The professor has also proved the very small tower problem before, but failed.

But this is not the reason for him to be surprised. You must know that Ye Fei only proved the singular cardinality a month and a half ago.

Prove that p=t after one and a half months?

The time is too short and the speed is too fast.

Cantor can't do it even if he is reborn.

Not only the professor didn't believe it, but everyone present didn't believe it.

"You can follow me on Arxiv, I'm going back to work on my paper now, and you'll be able to see my first draft in two hours."

Regarding the p=t paper, Ye Fei has already started writing it, but the core part has not been proved, that is, the proof formula of p=t.

Now fill in the core part, and the thesis is complete.

Besides, this is just a first draft, so it doesn't need to be written too formally.

After all, there will be many revisions in the later stage.

After speaking, Ye Fei left the lecture hall.

Many people present were shocked, did Ye Feizhen prove that p=t?

They were also in no mood to listen to the next report.

Many people are leaving!

The remaining four people who gave academic reports looked helpless after watching the audience walk more than half.
