Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

It's the Cole Prize!

The ark was surprised.

Soon he realized the problem.

“Wait, do I remember that the Cole Prize wasn't awarded only to members of the Federal Mathematics Institute? ”

It seems to have been expected that the Ark will ask this question, and Mr. Qiu smiled and explained: "The best young reporter selected by the Federal Institute of Mathematics at an academic conference in Princeton, in addition to the $10,000 prize and certificate, comes with the status of an honorary member, probably between members and members. In fact, many national societies have similar honorary membership award rules, so you are fully compliant with the award rules. ”

Including the Chen Province Mathematics Award, although the Ark has never applied for membership in any of the societies, it is generally customary for an award awarded by an association to be granted the status of a member or honorary member of the association by default.

Paused for a moment, Mr. Qiu smiled and continued.

“… the nomination for this award was completed in September and the selection was completed in October, and formal written documents will be sent to your school in early December. The award was at the end of the year academic conference, probably two days after Christmas, and if I recall correctly, it was at the University of California. Of course, the award will be made at the opening or closing ceremony, depending on the specific notice. The host of the Society will send the notification email to your email address, and you will remember to check your email address regularly. As for this time, get ready for your award-winning testimonials! ”

After hearing Mr. Qiu say this, the Ark laughed embarrassingly.

I'm really embarrassed.

Do you feel comfortable disclosing this information to me in advance before the written documents come down?

Actually, he also wanted to ask, by the way, what's the bonus for the Cole Prize?

But when you think about it, it's better if we're all learning or sticking together a little bit.

So he stopped asking, but said.

“I'll be ready! ”

“You should pay more attention to this yourself. Remember not to miss the award.” Mr. Qiu nodded in favor of the place, changed the subject, and continued with a chatty tone. “Speaking of that year-end academic conference, it's actually quite level. If your paper on group structure were to be presented there, more people would understand your research results. ”

“Will there be an academic conference after the award?” The ark asked unexpectedly.

“It is customary, of course, to say that it is the award that comes with it. Reporting at that kind of meeting was very helpful to you,” Mr. Qiu laughed and said, "But it's only two months away, so much ink has just been poured out, I don't think you have anything to publish. Take a break from this, December is a trip to California. Besides, with this gap, you can also think about which direction you're going to go… By the way, do you have an idea? ”

The Ark thought about it and said, "I intend to continue digging deep on prime numbers, but I have yet to find a suitable target. Do you have any good advice? ”

The study of twin count speculation and Polynyak speculation, which almost held him back for a whole year, is now a complete end to the work, and his mind has not yet been separated from it.

To get him to choose a suitable proposition from the many propositions about prime numbers to fill that void, he hasn't figured out which one to start.

Jepov's speculation, which has been precipitating for over a hundred years, seems interesting, much like Polynac's, except that one is the infinite distance between the prime numbers, and one is that there must be prime numbers between the square numbers.

There is also the Brokal proposition that there are at least four primes between the two primes, and this presumption is also of great research value.

Though neither of these speculations has a high reputation outside the circle for twin count speculation and Polynesian speculation, it does not preclude their position in mathematics, which is no less high than the two speculations already completed by the Ark.

And these are just one of his options.

“Anumeric research is a good direction and is well placed in the field of mathematics. The laws of distribution of prime numbers herald many real problems, such as information technology and cryptography," Mr. Qiu nodded, smiling, "Although I have not studied the direction of mathematics much, with my understanding of this direction of mathematics, your creation in screening theory is the most prominent of all I have ever seen. Many people think that the sieve theory has been maximized by Chen Jingrun, but now it seems that we are only hindering the limitations of the times, and there is still a lot of room to go deeper. ”

Paused for a moment, the old man suddenly threw a bold thought at the ark.

“In that case, why don't you try to challenge Godebach to speculate on the proposition? ”

Goldbach guesses?!

The ark stunned slightly.

This…

Bit too much span, huh?!

The ark pondered for a moment and responded with caution: “I feel… this assumption is still a bit difficult for me. Perhaps when the time is right, I'll take this proposition out and study it. ”

Although his mathematical hierarchy breaks through LV4, according to the rules of the system, not only will the rights of the database be expanded, but the ability to understand and analyze mathematics will also be enhanced to some extent.

But Goldbach's guess is, after all, one of the three most difficult mathematical problems of modern times, and the difficulty lies in the second step.

Even though the previous man's work had pushed the result to "1 +2”, just one foot short of the "1 +1” goal, it was not so easy to build the last covered brick for the building.

Otherwise, the idea would not have been there for so many years.

“You misunderstood what I meant," Mr. Qiu shook his head, "I did not ask you to immediately give this guesswork or prove the answer, but to try to study this method. ”

“Many mathematical assumptions do not necessarily have to be proven to achieve significant research results. When we studied Lehman's assumptions, for example, we accidentally proved the prime theorem. The latter was in a much larger position in mathematics than the former. ”

“Similarly, sieve theory is an equally sophisticated mathematical tool that you can further hone when studying twin count speculation. By studying Goldbach's assumptions, I'm sure you can learn more from them.” Speaking of which, Mr. Qiu suddenly laughed and continued, “Of course, it's just an old man's suggestion, just refer to it. It depends on how you choose, or on yourself! ”

After listening to Qiu Chengtong, the ark fell into contemplation.

The old man also seemed to make sense, and the empirical value behind Gothenbach's speculation was full of imaginary space.

After a moment of reflection, the Ark solemnly nodded: “I will consider your suggestion carefully! ”
