Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Chapter 240: Vibrant Princeton Town

It has been a week since the Ark posted the paper on the Arxiv website, and the vast majority of those following Gothenbach's speculation have heard the news.

For that 50-page paper, some people shouted off the “cluster method”, some people said it was incredible, and others ignored the 50-page paper, because trying to understand the entire proof process is not an easy thing.

With the exception of folk scientists who are familiar with the "two instruments, four elephants, five lines of gossip” method, many scholars who analyze the direction of mathematics rarely eat more than two methods at the same time, even when studying Gothibach's assumptions.

For example, people who study large screening methods are not necessarily familiar with circular methods, and vice versa. In addition to mainstream choices, there are also methods of selecting density and triangulation to solve problems, which are even colder.

And in the group theory used by the ark, not only can you see the shadow of the sieve method, but you can also see the circle method, even the idea of the group theory, the scope of the hunting is not necessarily very broad.

And that's why, let alone test the correctness of the paper, there is a certain threshold for trying to understand this paper.

Of course, the prevailing view in the mathematical world is more optimistic, after all, the Ark has won the Cole Prize in Mathematical Theory and has solved many problems in mathematical theory, especially in the direction of prime numbers.

Because many professors mentioned this in their lectures, the discussion gradually spread from the academic circle to some campus bbs.

Now not only are scholars interested in this direction discussing this, but even students from mathematics departments at universities and universities are discussing this thesis.

This led to a discussion at a mathematical forum abroad known as the Predictive Phil Prize.

[OK! I know he has solved twin count speculation and Polynesian speculation, but our professor said in the lesson that Goldbach speculation and they are not a level thing at all. It's like Ivy League and Super Bowl, all football, but not a heavyweight. Frankly, I don't believe his thesis is correct. I'm sure something went wrong and it's going to be overturned soon.

So who's your professor?

[James Menard! Winner of the 14-year SASTRA Ramanukin Prize! Candidate for the 18-year FILTS Prize! I think his opinion is more authoritative.

[Oh, that Menard, I've heard, looks like the British guy with the prime spacing? I heard that after Zhang Yitang calculated 70 million, he was challenging the twin speculation, and prepared for the whole year, and was pulled out of the head and burned the manuscript in anger? (Laughs)]

[Huh!

[Contrary to your point of view, our professor appreciates this paper very highly and believes that the cluster approach will be a very promising analytical mathematical research tool.

Who's your professor? With all due respect, not everyone has the ability to review mathematical problems, especially in the prime field.

[Tao Zhexuan.

……

There is no peer review on Arxiv, and the validity of the paper cannot be determined. Whether this mathematical difficulty is proven or not, it is a matter of time.

Yet, as everyone knows, the mathematics community will not let this brilliant study wait too long for success.

Just the second week after the paper was uploaded on the Ark, the Princeton Institute of Higher Studies updated a conference message on its official website.

Next Monday, the Ark will present an hour-long report on the subject of the Goldbach Proof of Thoughts in Report Room 1 of the Princeton Institute of Higher Studies.

As the bulletin emerged, all the controversy over the correctness of the paper became a discussion of the report itself.

Many doubts about the correctness of the paper stem mainly from a lack of understanding of the cluster approach and the absence of peer reviews of articles on ARXIV. Many questions would undoubtedly be resolved during the questioning session if posted in the form of a briefing and in places such as Princeton Institute of Higher Studies.

It is precisely for this reason that the canoes have been prepared with the utmost seriousness over the past few days and have not been taken lightly by recognition from the system.

The key to a mathematical guess being proven is logical harmony, but ultimately it needs to be endorsed by peers. This is essentially different from the discipline test, and none of the standard answers for reference can be tested. As a proponent of the speculation, he was obliged to explain his theory and answer all questions.

Even a tiny detail doesn't make it easy for an ark to let go, and many traps tend to hide on “obvious” issues.

Forget him, Wiles, who proved that Fermat's theory was all over these little issues, was stuck in a “obvious” but problematic place for almost a year. Had it not been for the encouragement of my friends, I would have even once intended to admit failure.

In accomplishing this task, the mood of the Ark is also felt.

He didn't feel it before, and now he realizes how useful it is to have a student.

Throw something on stage to report to students as a test point and take it back for a look. Draw out everything you can't understand, and it's basically obvious where your peers will bring it out.

Unfortunately, while Professor Deligne lent him his own PhD student as a staff officer, he was not assisted in theory, only in PPT matters.

Even if the Ark wanted to ask him where he couldn't read his own thesis, he was just embarrassed and completely unable to read it.

Because the direction of his research is algebraic geometry, he doesn't know anything about the big sieve method, circle method...

……

The day passed and finally reached the day before the briefing.

With the influx of mathematicians, even the quiet town of Princeton became lively.

Princeton can be said to be quite attentive to the reception of mathematicians from all over the world.

Mathematicians invited to the presentation were arranged at the Princeton Hotel opposite Palmer Square, according to the Princeton Institute of Advanced Studies.

If all goes well, it's not just a daytime academic meeting, there's also a champagne and gourmet feast at night.

For the time being, however, the Ark had no leisure time to consider those issues, because for him every minute before the report began was valuable.

The following afternoon, heads were saved in Report Room 1 of the Princeton Institute of Advanced Studies.

In addition to the scholars invited to the conference, there are some students who do not come. Some of them came with mentors, others studied in Princeton, and others even drove from New York, Philadelphia, next door.

Although they were not notified of the specific timing of the meeting, some of the people who had been waiting here long ago had taken their places while they were still at large.

As for those who arrived late, some simply sat on the aisles on either side of the seats, and even stood at the corners of the walls, outside the corridors, with journalists who had come to the news.

The report will officially begin at two o'clock and end at three o'clock and may be extended depending on the number of questions and the content of the questions.

If not surprisingly, after the meeting, the Princeton Institute of Higher Studies will join the editorial department of the Journal of Mathematics and organize a jury of four to six people to conduct a simultaneous independent review of the Ark's paper in the minutes of the comprehensive meeting, and finally summarize the written comments to determine whether or not his paper was adopted.

It can be said that the overdraft of this paper was successful, depending on whether he was able to articulate his clustering approach.

Standing behind the scenes of the reporting hall, the ark looked again at the time on the screen of the phone and took a deep breath.

Five minutes left.

This is the tenth time he took out his phone to look at the time.

He can't remember how many deep breaths he took to adjust his heart rate.

Until then, the Ark had learned from Professor Deligne how many people had attended the meeting.

More than one hundred and fifty eminent scholars, some from Paris, some from Germany, some from his homeland and some familiar faces, have been invited here alone, regardless of their self-enrollment.

In addition to people from the mathematics community, there are media journalists from all over the world.

Soon, he will stand in the eyes of the whole world and draw a conclusion to the difficult problems of this century.

At that point, a staff member of the Institute of Higher Studies pushed the door into the preparatory room and spoke with a respectful voice and an ark.

“Mr. Lu, time is almost up, are you ready? ”

This question was not answered immediately.

The ark turned around and looked into the mirror, reaching for the tie in front of his chest.

Finally, he took a deep breath and looked at himself in the mirror, with a smile in the corner of his mouth.

“Ready. ”
