Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Princeton, New Jersey, in a clean house.

A bald, white old man stuffed his clothes in the trunk without going back and shouting.

“No time, please go find someone else! Now my teacher is lying in bed, maybe this will be the last time I see him! At least this month, I don't want to see anything related to math. ”

A middle-aged man in a suit had an embarrassing smile on his face, but had no temper at all.

After all, it was the famous Viscount Pierre Deligne, the prover of Way's speculation, the Fields, Crawford, Wolf, and last year's Abel Prizes that the mathematical community was able to give him, basically, the trophy.

Even in the Princeton Institute of Higher Studies, a building housing the world's mathematical geniuses, his light cannot be concealed.

And he's Davis, just a regular editor of the Mathematics Chronicle, graduated from the Department of Journalism at Johns Hopkins University, and he's just doing some research on mathematics.

Although the Mathematics Chronicle was Princeton's own son, he followed John Hopkins University's “stepmother." With Princeton now in charge of The Mathematical Yearbook, there are four kings of heaven in the mathematical journal world, and naturally fewer and fewer resources are leaning toward The Mathematical Chronicle.

To preserve the influence of the Mathematics Chronicle in academia, the editors of the Journal Department of Johns Hopkins University Press were also distracted.

It would not have been worth Davis' attention if it had been an ordinary numerical thesis. Coincidentally, however, there was some research in the technical editorial logarithm, and the paper was immediately found to be of extraordinary value during the first review of the submissions.

There are countless speculations about the distribution pattern of Mason numbers, yet no speculation has been proven so far. Among the most mathematical aesthetics, the degree of precision of expression is undoubtedly the famous Zhou's assumption.

That is, when 2 ^ (2 ^ n) < P < 2 ^ (2 ^ (n +1)), MP has 2 ^ (n +1) -1 is prime!

However, conjecture is ultimately conjecture.

If these speculations are not proven in a single day, they will always be princes.

When does it prove that you can upgrade to Theorem, Coronation!

Davis did not give up and continued to persuade: "Please, Viscount Deligne, your research in the field of mathematics is the most outstanding of professors I have ever seen! I thought of you the first time I saw this paper. For all the years we've worked together, can you just take a look? ”

“These butts don't work for me," he snapped and covered his suitcase, and Delinière smiled coldly, "you don't have to say I know. ”

He's not usually so grumpy, a little arrogant, like the other geniuses at the Princeton Institute. If it was normal for Davis to have an interesting paper in front of him personally, he would have to take the time to study it.

However, interesting things have to be seen on the spot.

His mentor, Mr. Grotendik, is now lying in bed, ready to let go.

What mathematics does he have in mind? I can't wait to fly to France now.

Not to mention the scholarly editor, even the research project at the institute, he pushed away.

Davis tried to convince him, "Don't you want to bring Mr. Grotendick a present? ”

“A gift?” Deligne said violently, "Take a pile of scrap paper? It makes more sense for me to buy a bouquet of flowers on the street when I get to France! ”

“I assure you, this paper is definitely not as bad as you think.” Davis said sincerely, "Isn't it true that Lehman's speculation was what your teacher wanted all his life? The issue of the distribution law of Mason numbers has been solved, and we have taken another step towards the crown of this mathematical world… even if it is a small step! I remember what you said in last year's academic report that the road to the end of the Zeta function in Lehman was dark and required countless candles to illuminate… now you have the matches. ”

Staring into Davis's eyes, Deligne silenced for a while, scolding and snatching the paper in his hand.

“Fak! ”

Ultimately, as a scholar, he still couldn't resist curiosity.

“Proof of Zhou's guess?” Deligne frowned slightly.

A few years ago, he didn't even know how many of these papers he had seen, and they had only recently become scarce. People who think they're smart always like to pick out seemingly simple questions, but they can't even find that thorny road anywhere.

If Zhou's speculation proves useful for the study of Lehmann's speculation, after all, the nature of Lehmann zeta function zeta (s) is closely related to the frequency of prime numbers, while Lehmann's hypothesis discusses the situation where equation zeta (s) = 0.

See the paper author's name.

Deligne stunned.

Lu Zhou?

Chinese or Chinese?

There are many outstanding mathematicians in Asia, but he has never heard the name...

I couldn't help but take it slightly lightly, but thinking that Davis wouldn't fool himself with something that looked like water, Delinière still looked down.

Wall clock tick tick tick movement.

One minute...

Five minutes...

Ten minutes...

Deligne held the initial position, eyebrows staring closely at the first page of the paper, without even intending to turn the page.

Seeing this kind of Professor Deligne, Davis controlled the rhythm of the breathing ground and tried not to make a sound to disturb his thinking.

The more you look down, the more serious the look on Deligne's face is.

About five minutes later.

Leaning the trolley of the suitcase against the wall, he returned to the study without saying a word and took the A4 paper and left his hand behind to close the door.

Davis was relieved, so he moved his stiff shoulder and sat casually on the sofa in the living room.

Over the years of experience, Professor Deligne's attention to a thesis correlates positively with his efforts to close the office door.

If it's going to the shredder, there's absolutely no need to close the study door.

Sitting in the study, Deligne took the draft paper out of the drawer and began the process of calculating and validating the paper paper.

The author's arguments were clear, logically rigorous, and the methods used were so ingenious that he couldn't pick anything out.

Even, you can't find anything to improve.

And it was here that surprised him that, apart from some lame English, and a somewhat flawed narrative, it was not clear from this argument alone that the author was a novice by any name.

Too smooth.

Smooth to unbelievable.

He preferred to believe that in the course of this five-page argument, there was a trap that was easily overlooked at a glance!

Can you hide it from him?

Interesting.

An hour has passed.

Watching the final line of formula silence for a long time, Deligne let go of the paper prints and the drafts filled with paper next to it, sighed and gently spewed out a word in French.

“Awesome. ”

If an hour ago, there was still a lot of doubt in his mind.

So by now, he can almost be sure that this five-page validation process is not a problem.

He couldn't come up with any other compliments besides being awesome.

If possible, he would really like to meet the author of this paper. Recently, however, there are few opportunities, and soon after he returns from vacation from France, he will be involved in a new project at the Princeton Institute, which will be busy in the coming months.

Perhaps this paper could really interest the teacher?

Although he knew that the possibility was remote, his teacher had not studied mathematics for many years.

Standing back and forth in the living room, Davis finally turned his attention to the bathtub next to the front door cabinet, bouncing the fish tank glass boringly with his fingers, teasing the goldfish inside to kill time.

At this point, the door of the study suddenly opened and Deligne, with the paper paper, came out.

See, Davis hurried up and asked, "How's it going? ”

The paper was stuffed in a suitcase and Deligne's head was not lifted, he said.

“I need a little time and I'll get back to you at the latest in a week. ”

Hearing this, Davis held his breath for a moment and was thrilled.

After all these years of cooperation, he knew the professor very well.

One paper, if not stuffed directly into the shredder by him, has shown that he can't pick out a big problem with this paper. If he hadn't thrown the paper into his own hands, it would be enough to say that the contents of the paper were enough to get his attention!

A week's time is nothing.

No rigorous academic editor could hastily adopt a paper. Long and repeated refinements and calculations are necessary, not only as a mathematician should be rigorous, but also as a scholar, with minimal respect for the areas he has studied!

A world-class math puzzle is about to be solved.

The academic value of the Mathematics Chronicle is undoubtedly a huge improvement!

As for Davis himself...

What better way to prove his performance as a technical editor than to pick out a piece of gold from a pile of sand?
