From small town academic to chief scientist

Chapter 125 Kepler - Zhouyi Theorem! (Please subscribe)

What IMU President Carlos Koenig didn't expect was that Qiu Chengtong was connected to the microphone. No wonder he had to wait for a while.

If this were to wait for a while, it would simply be a question of the conference of mathematicians.

Today's communication methods are basically created using mathematical knowledge. If this can wait for a long time, it will be a slap in the face of the mathematics community.

Carlos Koenig said with a hint of respect to three figures who were at the top level in the mathematics community:

"I didn't expect you, Mr. Deligne and Mr. Mirno, to be here too. This is just right. We can save two consecutive rounds of wheat.

I wonder if Mr. Qiu has different views on this paper. "

Mr. Qiu’s research direction is also geometry, and he also won the Veblen Prize.

The Veblen Prize is an award awarded by the Chinese Mathematical Society in memory of Professor Veblen.

Established in 1961, the awards were first awarded in 1964 and 1966.

It is the highest honor in the field of geometry and topology and is awarded every three years. To date, a total of 34 people have received this honor.

Qiu Chengtong smiled happily and said:

"No, I don't think there is anything wrong with this paper. It's not because Zhou Yi is about to become my student in the future, but because he is responsible for mathematics. I have also done the calculations for this paper by myself, and it took two or three days. "

After Mr. Qiu said this, Daxia and many Chinese mathematicians breathed a sigh of relief.

This expert said that there is no problem, and Zhouyi's paper can be 30% sure that there is no problem.

"It seems that Mr. Qiu likes his apprentice very much."

Carlos Koenig said.

"Haha, I think Zhou Yi's future achievements will definitely be higher than that of an old man like me. I've always been very accurate in judging people."

As soon as Qiu Chengtong said these words, the Daxia mathematicians and Chinese mathematicians present raised a question mark in their hearts.

There is no doubt about your achievements in mathematics, but your words are a bit pretentious.

If you look at people, you won't be so melonious. Is this reverse milk?

Carlos Koenig continued to ask Professor Milnor:

"Mr. Milnor, do you think there are still problems with the proof of Zhou Yi's paper?"

Mirno said:

"Of course not. I have personally calculated the more than one hundred linear programs. No problem. It is faster than Qiu Chengtong."

As soon as these words came out, countless people were excited.

Two people who studied geometric directions at the Taishan Beidou level said it was no problem.

So there are basically no problems with Zhou Yi's paper. What still needs to be asked is Professor Deligne, Professor Faltings and Professor Purcell.

At this time, I heard Professor Milnor say with a hint of displeasure:

"But Zhou Yi rejected my offer, which made me very unhappy. I suggested coming to study for a Ph.D. here."

"Ha ha."

The people present looked at the somewhat naughty Milno and couldn't help but laugh.

However, many doctoral students who were watching the live broadcast online and were studying Kepler clenched their fists, and now they wanted to rush to the scene and give Zhou Yi a knife.

They care more about whether Zhou Yi's proof is correct than who won the Fields Medal this year.

Now the two Taishan-level figures agree that nothing can go wrong.

This accident is Professor Deligne, Professor Faltings and Professor Purcell.

Many PhD students are secretly cursing, Zhou Yi is amazing, you are awesome, do you know how we are going to graduate, and do you know how long we have to delay graduation.

Carlos Koenig asked Professor Deligne with a respectful tone:

"What do you think, Professor Deligne?"

Deligne is relatively plain. After all, he learned mathematics from Alexander Grothendieck, the emperor of mathematics.

We have seen many strong winds and waves.

This mathematical emperor is the founder of modern algebraic geometry and is known as the greatest mathematician of the 20th century.

none of them.

Deligne said lightly:

"There is nothing wrong with the paper. I have personally verified the complex calculations in it. He is a very good young man. I also prefer talented young people."

Damn it, this man can actually praise others?

Everyone present was shocked.

Professor Deligne was known for his integrity, which often made certain mathematicians who gave lectures unable to step down.

As long as there is a problem with your paper, they will not care about your face and will point it out on the spot.

However, Deligne's words can basically make a complete announcement.

Kepler's conjecture can ascend to the throne and be crowned as a theorem!

Countless doctors are heartbroken at this moment.

It's even more unacceptable than being cheated on by your girlfriend.

Especially a doctor who has been delayed for several years may commit suicide tonight.

There are no more than five people in the world who have won the Fields Medal, the Abel Prize, and the Wolf Prize at the same time, and Deligne and Mirnor are the only two of them.

There are only two people who have won the Fields Medal, Wolf Medal and Crafford Medal at the same time, namely Qiu Chengtong and Deligne.

The Crafoord Prize is a world-wide science award almost as famous as the Nobel Prize. It was established in 1980 by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.

Carlos Koenig, President of the International Mathematical Union, was respectful when he saw the three of them.

But for the sake of greater mathematical rigor and responsibility for the field of mathematics,

Carlos Koenig contacted Faltins, who was listening online,

He was also an expert in this field, a Fields Medal winner and a disciple of Alexander Grothendieck, the emperor of mathematics.

In order to be more cautious, more rigorous, more rigorous, Carlos Koenig had to send out continuous messages to all the big guys.

After Faltings connected to the microphone, he said in a very calm tone:

"My opinion is the same as that of my senior brother Deligne. There is no problem. I also personally calculated the more than one hundred algorithms involved, and it only took two days."

After speaking, he glanced provocatively at the people present.

"Thank you Mr. Faltings for your affirmation. This has undoubtedly brought our progress to 80%. I wonder what Mr. Purcell thinks?"

Carlos Koenig continued to ask.

Searle, the youngest Fields Medal winner in history, also attended this meeting and is also an expert in algebraic geometry.

Seer held the microphone in his wrinkled hand and said softly:

"The future life is to be feared."

Just four words explain everything.

At this moment, the entire mathematical community, including Taishan Beidou, Veblen Prize winners, and experts on Kepler’s conjectures, all agreed that there was no problem with Kepler’s conjecture.

Can't find anything to fault.

I saw Carlos Koenig holding the microphone and saying in a very solemn tone:

"Kepler's conjecture was born in 1606, when the German mathematician Kepler wrote to Harry, and it was not until 1611 that it was formally summarized in mathematical language.

If the volume of the cube box is L, the radius of the ball is r, and the number of balls packed into the box is N, the ball packing density can be defined as (4/3)πr^3N/L.

It is such a simple result that has troubled us for four centuries.

For four hundred years, we have basically known that this result is correct, but there is always a lack of proof.

Even to study Kepler's conjecture, two new disciplines were born, discrete geometry and number geometry.

Oh no, forgive me for being old, there are now three new branches, and there is also a Zhou geometry!

At the beginning of the 20th century, Mr. Hilbert asked the twenty-third century problem at the Second International Congress of Mathematicians in Paris.

Until now, we have not been able to solve many problems.

But today, we can rigorously and solemnly announce that Kepler’s conjecture summarized in Hilbert’s 18th question can be completely proved!

From then on,

Kepler's conjecture ascended to the throne and was crowned Kepler - Zhouyi theorem! "

At this moment, everyone present and online all stood up and applauded in unison.

They witnessed history and witnessed a conjecture that had been unresolved for four hundred years being solved by a young man who was less than twenty years old.

They even witnessed the rise of a mathematical genius!

The applause went from a steady stream of applause at the beginning to a sustained one.

There are many opportunities to witness the history of mathematics, but witnessing a conjecture that has not been proven for four hundred years be crowned as a theorem may be the only one in this life.

Many of you here will even include it in the history of mathematics!

Especially Carlos Koenig's face was glowing. From the moment he announced that Kepler-Zhouyi theorem was established,

It is destined that Carlos Koenig must have such a place in the history of mathematics.

The IMU president changes every four years, but in this case, he should be the first.

Thinking of this, Carlos Koenig looked at Zhou Yi with a little more fondness.

"Now, let us congratulate Zhou Yi and applaud this young man again,

Applause again for Kepler-Zhouyi theorem. "

The expressions of the people present were different.

There is envy, jealousy, and regret.

Of course, there are also many people online who are already preparing on the rooftop, woo woo woo, Zhou Yi, you and I are at odds with each other!

Most of the experts in the field of mathematics, including Beidou, who have won the Veblen Prize, the highest geometry award in the field of geometry, unanimously agree.

This is enough to show that Kepler's conjecture written by Zhou Yi is correct and there will be no mistakes.

At this time, Carlos Koenig asked Zhou Yi:

"Young genius mathematician, how old are you this year?"

Zhou Yi was stunned and asked me what my age was.

But Zhou Yi still replied in English with a Sichuan and Chongqing accent:

"Already eighteen years old, almost 19 years old."

As soon as these words came out, countless people were so shocked that they dropped the pens in their hands.

Damn it, you are only eighteen years old?

You wouldn’t even dare to write a novel like this.

The last person was Tao Zhexuan, who won the gold medal in the International Mathematics Competition at the age of 13, and now it is you, Zhou Yi.

The more Milnuo saw Zhou Yi, the more he liked it. This is my successor. He will study at Qiu Chengtong’s place for a few years and study here for a few years.

It is not impossible to become a mathematical emperor like Alexander Grothendieck in the future.

Seer also looked at Zhou Yi with a complicated expression, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart.

Perhaps the youngest Fields Medal winner, I am afraid that it will change hands in four years.

As for Schultz and Terence Tao, who have always been famous for their mathematical geniuses,

At this moment, I was also slightly absent-minded,

"Tao, I take back what I said before. He may be the youngest genius mathematician in the world."

Tao Zhexuan smiled bitterly, but still said stubbornly:

"I've been studying for a master's degree since I was seventeen."

Schultz sneered, not revealing his final stubbornness.

"Perhaps we should induce him to study number theory."

Academician Hubei in the audience had mixed feelings. Maybe he had to find a way to get him to come to Beijing University.

As for Ding Jian and the others, they couldn't help but smile bitterly. At the age of eighteen, they proved a conjecture that the mathematical world had not been able to prove for four hundred years.

Also created a new branch of mathematics.

Liu Gang looked at Zhou Yi and seemed to have made a decision in his heart. He would follow Zhou Yi from now on!

Their research directions can all be classified as geometry, and they will definitely generate great sparks of ideas in the future.

Xiang Yi, who was at Yuzhou University at the moment, couldn't help but feel dazed for a while.

It turns out that the career that I have worked hard for my whole life has finally come to fruition today.

When his thesis was refuted by the academic community, I am afraid only Hales knows how dejected and uncomfortable he felt.

From 1995 to now, after waiting for 27 years, this boy who is less than 19 years old finally announced to the world with a sharp sword in his hand,

Kepler's conjecture can be promoted to a theorem.

Moreover, some of the ideas in their papers were used. This fact is worthy of Lao Huai's comfort.

There is nothing more meaningful than getting an accurate result after pursuing something for a lifetime.

Xiang Yi wiped the moist corners of his eyes and kept whispering from the corner of his mouth:

"Okay, okay!"

PS: Please give me monthly tickets and full reservations. 7,000, 8,000, sometimes 10,000 words are updated every day, which is really not slow.

Thanks to my wallet for the mediocre 1500 coin reward, thanks to Zui Hongchen 9, Chen Laoguang, Flowers in the Autumn Water, Wild Mountain Taoist, Little God Didi, Kunlin Yuanshan, Guan Yunzhai Master, Cold Night River Boat, Leisure Starry Sky As well as the book friend **** a 100-coin reward, and a brother with traditional Chinese characters whose name I can’t name gave a 100-coin reward.

This is the reward from last time until 9.11.

Thank you thank you.
