From small town academic to chief scientist

Chapter 187 He is the Chosen One

Milno in the audience kept laughing and said:

"What can I say? This step is wonderful. Combining the circle method and the sieve method in this way is really amazing. These mathematical skills are probably not inferior to those of old guys like us."

Purcell, the oldest man and the youngest recipient of the Philippine Prize, said:

"It's not bad. I have something that can keep up with me when I was young."

The surrounding reporters and math experts couldn't help but twitched when they heard this.

If a Philippine Prize winner said this, he might be considered as someone who wants to save face and suffer the consequences.

But this old guy from Purcell is the youngest winner of the Philippine Prize, the winner of the Abel Prize and the Wolf Prize, and he has collaborated with Grothendieck.

There is still some gold in his words.

I saw Deligne saying:

"Ah ha, he is only 19 years old. How do you feel about it? If nothing else, he will win all kinds of awards in the next few years. The mathematics community is still afraid that he will not accept the award. Isn't that the Sloan Research Award specially awarded? Did you get a special gold medal?"

Deligne and Purcell are old friends, and only Deligne dares to say that about Purcell. If it were anyone else, it might be just a little bit different.

Except perhaps Schultz and Zhouyi.

When Maynard and Harold Hoofgot saw this, their eyes were extremely shocked.

Maynard said:

"Not surprisingly, his proof method is a little more clever than ours, and so far, I haven't found any errors, although I have read his papers many times before."

Although the excellence of your peers highlights your own level, you are a clown if you do not admit that others are excellent or that you are not as good as others.

So Harold Hoofgot and Maynard praised him without hesitation.

Wiles said to Faljens and Schulz:

"I thought Zhou Yi was half as good as I was back then. Now I take it back. He is 80% as good as me. He is a good young man."

Schultz said:

"Zhou Yi has never been found to have fatal errors in major papers. He has had a smooth journey and has never made a comeback from desperate situations!"

Wiles couldn't help but wonder if Te Miao could keep mentioning this matter.

"It was just an artistic act. Life is inherently diverse, not to mention the lives of different people. Doesn't it feel great to make a comeback from a desperate situation?"

Schultz said:

"I'm sorry, I'm used to it being smooth sailing. You and I are not the same person. I've been a young genius that attracted everyone's attention since I debuted."

Faryans laughed directly and said:

"I'm sorry, I'm not the same as you. I'm used to it. I've been a math genius since I debuted."

Schultz has been an eye-catching mathematical genius since his debut. Before receiving the Feifei Prize, the mathematics community had won almost everything except the Wolf Prize and the Abel Prize.

As for Faljens, Grothendieck's disciple, his talent was surprisingly high, he had won many awards, and his mathematical achievements were also very high. They were all highly anticipated and enviable super geniuses.

Wiles immediately blushed, and he swore that he would never show off in front of the two of them in the future, never!

Wiles's proud disciple laughed out loud, and Wiles glared fiercely before suppressing his laughter.

At this time, Zhou Yi said loudly on the podium:

"For a sufficiently large even number N, F(P_1, P_2) is the number of prime numbers P representing N= P_1+P_2; N≥6 is an even number.

From Mr. Chen Jingrun’s D(N)<(7.928C(N)N)/Log^2N, and formula (9), (17), (21), and 27 (formula) we can directly get Lemma 1, Lemma 7, Lemma 8, Lemma 9, Corollary 1, Corollary 2, Corollary 3, Corollary 7, and Corollary 8 are directly established.

Finally passes the lemma”

As this stage begins, the atmosphere in the lecture hall of Shuimu University has obviously reached a high level. The thousands of mathematicians present are all prominent and powerful figures.

He obviously understood the key point of Gechai's proof. When Zhou Yi's analytic geometric group method penetrated into the core of Goldbach's conjecture like a god of war, no one dared to breathe loudly for fear of not hearing Zhou Yi's voice clearly.

Even though the loudspeaker could spread Zhou Yi's voice to the entire corner, they couldn't help but hold their breath, listening to Zhou Yi's report and looking at the APP on the big screen.

"The combination of the circle method and the sieve method is an update based on Zhou's analytic method. It turns out that Mr. Chen's Chen's theorem was also used by Zhou Yi.

Combining ancient and modern times, and innovating on this basis, Goldbach's conjecture, which was like a fog in the past, now looks like a girl who has been stripped of her clothes. It is refreshing and clears the sky! "

Schultz praised without hesitation at this moment,

"I used to be an amazing genius, but now it seems that Zhou Yi is also an amazing genius like me!"

Farjens praised:

"At the beginning, I thought there were three mathematical geniuses in the world. One of them was my teacher, the other was Purcell, and the third was Schultz.

Now I think Zhouyi may be the fourth one. "

Wiles said:

"What about me? Is Fermat's last theorem still not in your eyes?"

Faryans said nothing, but looked at his senior brother not far away.

I saw Deligne and others looking at Zhou Yi's high-spirited and energetic appearance at this moment,

I couldn't help but say to Purcell and others:

"I saw the shadow of a person in him."

Seer also said:

"I also saw the shadow of a person, very similar to him, maybe far more than him."

Milno and Qiu Chengtong did not speak, but they knew very well who the person they were talking about was.

Maynard said to Harold Hoofgot:

"He may be even better than Schultz. In this life, I am not only in the same era as Schultz, but also in the same era as Zhou Yi. I really have been in trouble for eight lifetimes."

Harold Hoofgot said:

"It's not just you who has this idea, I'm afraid many people have this idea."

At this moment, Zhou Yi said loudly on the stage:

"At this moment, we can conclude from Theorem 7, Equation (36), Equation (78), and Corollary (27) that theorem 1 is established,

That is to say: N= P_1+P_2! "

As the Zhouyi PPT was frozen on the last page, the entire lecture hall could be heard and solemn.

The solemn silence was not broken until Zhou Yi spoke.

"As for the proof of Goldbach's conjecture, I think I can end it here."

At this moment, countless lights gathered here, and countless media took photos.

Milnor and Qiu Chengtong walked onto the podium, and even victory champagne was prepared for Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi opened the champagne without hesitation and started drinking it. What could be wrong, Zhou Yi drank the entire bottle of champagne.

This scene was watched by countless people in the audience, and even people watching the live broadcast online were posting comments.

[The chosen son of mathematics, I only obey Professor Zhou Yi. 】

[I only know Qiu Chengtong of the two old men who went up. Who is the other one? Let me give you some popular science. 】

[That is Milnor, winner of the Fields Medal, Abel Medal, and Wolf Medal. He tells you to read more. Now it’s done. 】

[Professor Zhou at this moment is like the white moonlight in my heart, wuwuwu, Xia Xue’s hatred for her husband is irreconcilable. 】

[Professor Zhou is my Bai Yueguang, woo woo woo. Kill Xia Xue and steal the Book of Changes! 】

【Fuck off, you guys! 】

At this time, Zhou Yi's scene was deeply imprinted in Xiao Wanyi's heart. Shan Peng on the side gently patted Xiao Wanyi's shoulder and said:

"Don't look at it. He's not yours. He has a girlfriend. It's been announced nationwide that he's a childhood sweetheart."

Xiao Wanyi smiled bitterly and said:

"If I had taken the initiative, maybe I would have been by his side."

"Just this scene in Zhouyi has become the Bai Yueguang in the hearts of many young academic girls."

Shan Peng said.

"Just let me take another look. It's okay if I take a few more glances, even if he doesn't belong to me."

Xiao Wanyi's eyes were a little red and she said with a choked tone.

Ding Jian whispered:

"It is said that people will be troubled by things they cannot get when they are young. However, I hope that those of us who study mathematics can come out. Student Wanyi, please try to come out as soon as possible."

Shan Peng shook her head. She was a girl. She knew the lethality of the white moonlight she met when she was young. Maybe she might not be able to get out of it in this life.

Shan Peng still consoled him:

"He is the chosen one in mathematics. Wanyi, you should be more open-minded."

At this time, Milno on the stage said to Zhou Yi:

"Yes, well done. If there must be a chosen one in mathematics, I think that person must be you, Zhou Yi."

Milno held the microphone and spoke very loudly, and everyone in the lecture hall heard clearly.

Countless people smiled bitterly, these words had a certain authority.

From the complete solution of Hilbert's 18th question to Beer's conjecture, 3n+1 conjecture, and Goldbach's conjecture, we can no longer count how many achievements he has made.

Even Schultz, who has always been known as a monster, may not be considered the chosen one.

Qiu Chengtong also said:

"The certification process is indeed perfect, and the subsequent peer review is probably not a big problem. You go down, there is still a report meeting."

When Deligne heard the words "The Chosen Son", he murmured:

"The Chosen One is a bit interesting. I hope to see more of his achievements in my lifetime."

Not long after, Maynard, as the main speaker, had already appeared on the big stage.

James Maynard still wears his favorite white shirt and jeans. He is more free and easy-going than Zhou Yi. After all, his achievements are also very amazing.

They are all great people in mathematics.

Are people who can win Philippine awards considered weak?

Ridiculously strong, Daxia Kingdom hasn’t even received a single prize so far.

Zhang Yitang originally proved that there are infinite pairs of prime numbers whose difference is less than 70 million, but Maynard directly reduced this number to 600;

This is what he did when he was 26 years old,

Secondly, James Maynard solved the mathematical problem that has troubled everyone for 80 years-Duffin-Schaeffer conjecture.

The Duffin-Shaeffer conjecture is an important conjecture in metric Diophantine approximation, proposed by physicist Richard Duffin and mathematician Albert Schaeffer in 1941.

He is also a social butterfly, hospitable and has many friends.

Therefore, if Zhou Yi had not been very influential in number theory, and if three of Zhou Yi's teachers had not come here in person, I am afraid that the battle between Zhou Yi and Maynard would not have happened.

It’s hard to say who wins and who loses.

Maynard said very relaxedly:

"It's really disgusting. I live in the same era as a genius like Zhou Yi. The key is that I am older than him, but my achievements are not as high as his. Even the proof methods used are mainly Zhou's analytical method."

Many people laughed when they heard this. Maynard is still such a jerk.

"But don't laugh. I'm not the only one who is under great pressure. It's also a nightmare for all colleagues who study analytic number theory. If Zhou Yi turns to other directions in mathematics, I swear, he will also be your nightmare. Don't believe it. laugh."

Maynard changed the topic instantly and said.

Suddenly, the laughter in the entire venue stopped abruptly.

If Zhouyi is true as Maynard said, it will be a blessing for the mathematical community, but it is their misfortune.

Someone cursed and said:

"Being in the same era as a genius like Zhou Yi, I am really happy and uncomfortable at the same time."

"Who is not? We are lucky to witness such an exciting era of mathematics. Unfortunately, we will be overshadowed by Zhou Yi's sun-like light. We don't even dare to say that Zhou Yi is the bright moon and we are the stars."

The lecture hall was buzzing at the moment.

But at this time Maynard said:

"But even if I borrow Zhou's analysis method from Zhou Yi, I feel that if I can prove Goldbach's conjecture at the same time as Zhou Yi, I will be considered famous in the history of mathematics, so I will not lose anything, hehe."

Everyone laughed again.

"Okay guys, my performance is about to start. You listen carefully. If you can't find the mistake, you will all be jealous of me. Goldbach guesses that there will be Professor Zhou, Harold He and me. The names of three men in Offgot;

If someone finds an error, I think Professor Zhou should buy me a drink. After all, I was the first to initiate the Gecai report today, but Professor Zhou came from behind.

If it weren't for my generosity, this feud would have ended anyway. Do you think this is true? "

Everyone laughed again,

"Haha, that's the truth. Regardless of whether your proof is right or wrong, Professor Zhou has to buy you a drink."

The crowd cheered.

Then everyone looked at Zhou Yichu.

Then a microphone was handed to Zhou Yi, and Zhou Yi said:

"No problem, Professor Maynard will stay in Daxia for a few more days. Then I will take you to Yuzhou to eat authentic Yuzhou hot pot and Yuzhou cuisine!

It’s really NICE. If not, ask Bill Carr. "

Birkar looked confused:? .

Can this involve me?

"With Professor Zhou's warm hospitality, I will start my report meeting!"

Not long after, Maynard started speaking on the stage.

"First of all, regarding the basics of Zhou's analytical method, like Professor Zhou, I assume that everyone has a certain foundation and understanding, so I won't introduce it in detail.

It mainly introduces the new tools we created and how to use the new tools to solve Goldbach's conjecture.

I think everyone has not only read Professor Zhou's paper, but also my paper, so I will focus on introducing our new tools. As long as the new tools have no errors, the wolf will join the sheep. "

Everyone looked at Maynard. As he said, everyone stayed up late to read the papers of the three people.

After all, the three of them all have very high status in analytical number theory, and it is impossible to just look at one person.

The gold content of the Philippine Prize winner and weak brother guessing prover is not low!
