Chapter 430: Closing of the conference

After Vera's report was over, it not only caused a warm response at the conference, but also attracted the attention of the media at the International Mathematician Conference.

For a long time, mathematics has been regarded as a male field, and few women have made outstanding achievements in this field. And this means that the impact of any outcome will be amplified.

What's more, as a number game that has been popular in North America, Kakutani guesses that the difficulty of this proposition is not low.

However, the media regretted that the young female mathematician did not seem to like being interviewed, or was a bit afraid of the feeling of being faced by a camera.

Fortunately, although she was not able to interview Vera herself, her mentor was better at talking.

The third day after the report, the fourth day of the International Conference of Mathematicians.

A reporter from the bbc science section made an appointment with Lu Zhou for a short interview at a café near Barada Tijuca Hotel.

bbc reporter: "... we all know that there will be two reports related to you. The proof of Kakutani's conjecture is a report completed by your student Miss Willa Puyue. How would you rate your students? ? "

Lu Zhou: "Weila is an outstanding student, including her two collaborators Qin Yue and Hardy, who are also very talented in number theory. I don't think gender is an issue that needs to be transitioned. There are also outstanding women among the scholars I know. "

bbc reporter: "I heard that she received your guidance when studying Kakuya's conjecture. Many people think that this conjecture was actually solved by you. What do you think of these remarks or rumors?"

Lu Zhou smiled: "What I have provided is only the ideas for solving the problems and the methodological guidance for them, and the whole proof is indeed done by them, which is beyond doubt. Moreover, it turns out that the group construction method It is indeed an excellent number theory method that can be used to solve many problems in additive number theory. "

Reporter: "As for group construction, which problem do you most like to solve? Or, in which field do you study?"

Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Do you really want me to say it? In fact, I don't think I can tell my colleagues if I don't say it."

The reporter pouted and smiled: "You still say it, take care of us laymen."

Lu Zhou thought about it and answered briefly: "Hua Lin question."

Among many additive number theory problems, the Hualin problem can be said to be one of the classic propositions.

This proposition was originally derived from "Contemplation of Algebra" published by Hualin in 1770. In his book, Edward Waring himself conjectured that for every positive integer k other than 1, a positive integer g (k) exists, so that each Positive integers can all be expressed as a sum of up to g (k) k-th power.

As a classic problem in additive number theory, there are not a few people who are engaged in research on this problem.

The existence of g (k) has been proved by Hilbert in a complicated way. The case of g (2) = 4 is the four-square sum theorem, which was proved by Lagrange in the eighteenth century.

Later researchers, Weifelich, Balabramanian, and Chen Jingrun proved the cases of g (3), g (4), and g (5), respectively.

If you want to ask which problem Lu Zhou is most optimistic for, it is undoubtedly the Hualin problem.

"That's really surprising ..." The reporter looked at Lu Zhou in surprise. Although she was not from the academic world, after all, she was a science columnist, and she still heard about the status of this issue in the field of mathematics.

After a pause, the BBC reporter continued to ask: "So, as for your other report, we all know that you have proved that the solution of the ns equation exists, and the academic community generally accepts your proof ... but If, I mean, suppose that this proposition has not been proven, but has been falsified, will it have any impact on our lives? "

Crossing his fingers on his knees, Lu Zhou leaning on the chair smiled, and said easily: "In fact, if this proposition is falsified, it means more. Take smoothness as an example, if we find At a particular point in time, our equation is no longer smooth, which may mean that we not only solve an unsolved mathematical problem, but also that we have discovered a new physics. "

Reporter: "Do you feel sorry?"

Lu Zhou sighed: "It's a shame ... In fact, when we collaborated with Professor Fefferman on this subject, we thought that we had discovered this special point in time, and it turned out that it was just an illusion.

"What made you discover?"

"When jogging by the lake, as for more specific ideas ..." Lu Zhou looked around and asked, "Is there a blackboard here? If so, I can explain this in detail."

Reporter Khan said: "It's ... not necessary."

Relevant reports were released the next day after the interview. After editing the bbc science column, some clips from the report meeting were interspersed, but the original appearance of the interview was restored.

After watching the news video on Youtuo, Lu Zhou looked at the comment area by the way.

However, unfortunately, foreign netizens do not seem to be very interested in the two things of mathematics and Xueba, and the focus of attention is all on Vera.

The most highly praised comments are basically free translations such as "Miss and sister are so beautiful!", "Want to organize a group tour to Ukraine", "Do you have a boyfriend?", "Do you want a girlfriend?" Content.

He acknowledged that Vera, who was struggling to overcome the weakness in her heart, and bravely making a report on the stage, did look a little dazzling. But what really deserves attention is not at all these boring things.

It's too superficial!

Shaking his head, Lu Zhou closed the video, and he was ignored by foreign netizens and didn't want to speak ...

...

The core of the International Mathematician Conference is academic exchanges. During the conference, many wonderful papers and reports did indeed emerge. In every sense, Lu Zhou can be said to have learned a lot from this conference.

I spent a full day in academic exchanges. The nine-day International Mathematician Conference finally ended with the singing and dancing of a group of South American artists.

After the closing ceremony, the conference logo outside the Barada Tijuca Hotel was withdrawn ~ www.readwn.com ~ Scholars from all over the world have boarded the return flight.

It is worth mentioning that in the end, Bill Carr did not find his missing medal.

However, the organizer generously held a special award ceremony to make up for the lost medals. It was also considered that the conference left no irreparable regret.

"... Rio's law and order is disappointing, and even the participants were robbed on the beach. There is no doubt that this is definitely the worst ICM conference in history. The Fields Prize has never been stolen before. Things, and even within half an hour of the awards ceremony. "Sitting on the return plane, Professor Fefferman said, shaking his head.

South American mathematics is thriving in the dynamics direction, with Brazil as the leader, and this is one of the reasons why this Congress of Mathematical Sciences chose to be held in Rio de Janeiro.

Although the International Federation of Mathematicians had concerns about the state of law and order in Rio de Janeiro, they did not expect it to be so serious, let alone such an awkward event.

Especially the perfunctory attitude of the local police in Rio de Janeiro is even more disappointing.

If it were not for the excellent reports at the conference, this icm conference can only be described as bad ...

Lu Zhou said with a smile: "Why not come to Shanghai to host it? I can guarantee that even if you dig the ground three feet, the lost medal will be found."

Of course, Lu Zhou felt that the greater possibility was that the thief would be targeted before he shot, and would be killed as soon as he reached out.

After spending so much time outside, apart from friends and relatives, what he misses most is the domestic security environment.

Professor Fefferman smiled.

"This is a good idea, and I believe that there must be this opportunity in the future!"
