Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Institute of Advanced Mathematics, 11: 30 a.m.

At this moment, Deligne is checking her mailbox to select papers of interest for review during the break after lunch from contributions sent by the editorial offices of the Mathematical Yearbook and the Mathematical Chronicle.

Roughly swept through a line of headings, but at this point he suddenly stunned.

"Any even number greater than 2 can be expressed as the sum of the two primes"

Goldbach guesses?

Closed his eyes, Deligne opened the email and looked at the abstract of the paper.

Although the principle of double-blind scrutiny exists in the Yearbook of Mathematics, it is in fact not strictly enforced for scholars who are already small and well-known.

For example, some people who like to hang Arxiv before submitting will be alerted to their peers in this area. For example, the abstract section of the paper, some grammatical and narrative style details, makes it easy to guess who the contributor is.

Undoubtedly, this paper was written by the Ark, and after all, it was not the first time he had reviewed it.

Looking down the line in the body section, Deligne frowned slightly

Suddenly, he looked up at the doctorate sitting not far away and said, "Smith, when you go to the restaurant, bring me back a bacon sandwich, and coffee. ”

The doctor named Smith stretched out his lazy waist and stood up and said, "Okay, professor... are you going to eat in the office today? ”

“Yes,” Deligne reached out and opened the printer while removing her glasses from her pocket, “an interesting paper awaited me. ”

……

Five days had passed, and the ark had not heard anything, as if his thesis had been thrown into the water.

Until the sixth day, he suddenly received an unexpected call.

The caller is Qiu Chengtong.

After the connection, Qiu Lao only has one sentence.

“Did you prove it?! ”

Hearing the burning question, the ark first slightly stunned, then nodded.

“If you're referring to Godebach's guess… I did prove it. ”

After hearing the Ark's answer, the phone was quiet for a while.

Because I was too surprised, Qiu Chengtong didn't know what to say for a while.

He has met many talented new-generation Chinese mathematicians, such as Tao Zhexuan, who teaches at the University of California, such as Yunxiao, who is teaching at Yale University, such as Xu Chenyang… have all done outstanding research in their respective fields.

Yet the ark, undoubtedly, was the brightest and the most surprising.

He had merely suggested that the Ark should work in the direction of Gothenbach's assumptions and had no hope of proving it with his abilities.

After all, both screening and circular methods have come to an end on this issue. Even if he had accumulated enough experience in the study of prime numbers, it would not be possible to resolve that conjecture in a short time.

However, the performance of the Ark was completely unexpected...

Taking a deep breath, Qiu Chengtong asked seriously: “How sure are you? ”

The Ark thought about it and replied: "More than 90%. ”

In fact, what he was trying to say was 10%. After all, even the system approved his steps, but it would be better to keep a slight low profile. Who knows how the reviewers would ask the question of drilling? He's got ten percent certainty right, but not ten percent certainty will be recognized.

Upon hearing the Ark's answer, Mr. Qiu nodded.

The direction of his research was mainly biased differential equations and differential geometry, and even mathematical physics, but it did not include only the field of analytical mathematics, so it was not possible to evaluate the paper of the ark from an academic point of view.

But if the ark can say with certainty that there is 90% certainty, even if there is a problem, it is only a matter of modifying it.

After a moment of pause, Mr. Qiu lamented: “Since the death of Mr. Hua Luog, Hua Luog School has been suppressed by two mountains, and even the whole of the Chinese numerical theory has been dismayed. Honestly, I was surprised you could prove Goldbach's guess. I was thinking that studying Goldbach's assumptions would definitely help you to deepen your understanding of prime numbers. Even if you can't solve this problem, what you learn from it can make a difference in the future... and now it seems that I underestimate you. ”

Hua Luog School is the internationally renowned "Chinese Analytical Mathematics School”, also known as Shui Lu School.

As for the two mountains mentioned by Mr. Qiu, although it is not clear which ones, the ark boat can probably guess the resentment of Mr. Qiu and Yan Da and the many accusations against the mountain heads of the domestic mathematical community.

But he didn't want to get involved, so he just laughed and didn't answer.

After a moment of pause, Mr. Qiu asked with a smile: "When you graduate, are you interested in becoming a professor in Mizuki? ”

The Ark thought about it and smiled and replied, "I'll probably be a professor in Princeton for two years. As for returning home, I promised the academicians that I would go back to my homeschool to teach. ”

When he heard Ark say that, Qiu Chengtong didn't say anything anymore. He just nodded and said: "Well, then, you're fine with Kim Dae. The most taboo thing about learning is that it is unique, and only by gathering hundreds of words and allowing the academic blossoms to blossom, will there be collision and sublimation of thought. Jinling University is a nice place, not far from the academic circle, you can be willing to learn there. ”

Going to Mizuki is tantamount to standing opposite the Yan University party, and Mr. Qiu seems to be aware of that as well.

If the ark was just a brilliant scholar in general, he would certainly have invited him to water trees at no cost, revitalized the school of water trees, and defied several mountain chambers in the country.

But the talent demonstrated by the Ark has reached the point where Mr. Qiu couldn't bear to watch him waste it on something other than academia.

At least between the ages of 20 and 40, his talent should be academic, not academic.

After a few conversations, the conversation ended.

But just as he was going to dinner, the phone suddenly rang again.

It wasn't someone else who called this time, it was his mentor, Professor Deligne...

……

Because of Professor Deligne's call, the Ark came to the Institute of Advanced Studies.

He hasn't stepped in here in over two months since he took leave, so he almost got lost when he walked in through the side door.

After finally touching the office, the ark knocked on the door.

Looking at the students walking into the office, Professor Deligne took off his glasses on the nose beam and rubbed his eyebrows.

“I've read your thesis… but to be honest, Goldbach's assumptions have gone beyond my field of study, and this major mathematical assumption is not something that my opinion alone can determine, let alone that I am your mentor. ”

The Ark expresses its understanding of what Professor Deligne said.

After all, Goldbach's conjecture is not a twin number conjecture or a Polynesian conjecture, and even if it is less important than Wiles' Fermat's theorem, its difficulty itself deserves to be taken seriously by the entire mathematical community and even by the mathematical community.

He did not designate an academic editor at the time of his contribution to the Mathematical Yearbook, and the technical editor of the Mathematical Yearbook threw the paper directly at Deligne, presumably with uncertainty about the paper.

The ark went straight to the point and asked: "What do you need me to do? ”

Deligne: “I'll give you an hour of presentations at the Princeton Institute of Higher Studies, and all you need to do is prepare a PPT and a speech, and if you're not sure, I can send someone to help you with your staff. I also need you to provide me with a timetable to tell me when you're available. ”

The Ark wondered: “My time is not a problem, it's just... have you had an academic meeting scheduled lately? ”

He has been following developments in the academic conference, and if he remembers correctly, there has been little heavy-duty scheduling throughout May.

“No, but no, it doesn't matter," stopped for a moment, Professor Deligne continued, "your findings are enough for other scholars to travel all the way to Princeton. ”

Professor Deligne's words are concise.

No scheduling of academic meetings, just one.
