Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

In an activity room at the Princeton University Library.

Pushing the door in, Vera burst into the table with joy, her mouth open for half a day and finally said a complete word.

“He's studying Lehman's speculation! ”

Molina, sitting at the desk doing the ambush calculation, didn't look up at all, because even if she didn't, she could imagine what kind of "idiot” look this guy had on his face at the moment.

“The paper on Arxiv? I already know, what's so fussy about this...”

Morina's sense of urgency grew stronger just because she knew that.

The dilemma that the man had targeted had never missed, and even the NS equation and the Jan Mills equation, the same dilemma level, fell in front of him.

Even because he became an academic leader, he had rarely been in mathematics over the years and had never attended academic conferences, big or small, but the mathematics community had never forgotten the legend about him.

Even today, there are “myths” about him on Princeton's campus.

There is no doubt that the Ark is a formidable opponent.

She has been struggling for years with this conjecture. If she is eventually pulled out of the ark, she is not sure if she will collapse...

“Molina...”

With a strange look at Vera, Molina blinked, "What's wrong? ”

Vera chuckled and asked, "What step do you think he's taken? ”

Looking at the two red clouds floating on the white cheek, Molina said with a headache, “How do I know? Why don't you just ask him? I remember you had his e-mail address. ”

“I...” Some of them played with their index fingers, Vera blushed out of Molina's sight and looked at Ivy dripping by the window, "... I don't deserve him right now. ”

I can't!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

With her hands on the table, Molina Soso stood up, holding Vera's shoulder with her hands and staring at her dodgy gaze.

“Listen, my dear Miss Pouilly, although I know he is your idol or even your ideal lover, you must know that he is now our opponent! It's our enemy! You mustn't...”

When Molina spoke half the time, Vera interrupted her without hesitation.

“I will not be his enemy! ”

In that elk's eyes, rare is firmly dispersed.

“... well, let me put it another way," Molina meditated for half a day with her palms clapped on her forehead, her eyes finally lit up and a thud said, "Didn't you have a deal with him about the Fields Award? ”

“ ”

Vera's expression suddenly got nervous as soon as she heard about it.

The moment was caught sharply, Molina's mouth curled with a smile and patted the little girl's shoulder to continue.

“Come on, if we solve Lehman's guess, let alone the Fields Prize, it's more than enough to take Fields' medal 10 times. ”

Holding her breath, Vera squeezed her fist gently and muttered to herself.

“If I solve Lehman's guess… he'll notice me. ”

Giving the little girl an encouraging look, Molina said in a positive tone: "Yes, not just him, but the whole world will notice you. ”

Vera's face became redder, staring down at her toes and laughing a little.

“All, the world forgets...”

“He's all I need. ”

……

For the relatively scarce mathematical world of trail news, famous figures like the Ark have begun to study Lehman's assumptions that nature is a different story. From the mathoverflow mathematics interactive exchange website to the Princeton University campus, information that Professor Lu is studying Lehman speculation has almost become the most popular topic of the day.

It's not just the students who are passionate about it, the professors are no exception.

And such a big event, of course, cannot escape the ears of Professor Feverman, director of the Mathematics Department.

Pretty much at the same time that Vera was surprised to tell Molina, Professor Feverman also came to Professor Deligne's office with a hard copy of the paper.

When he arrived at the office, Deligne was sitting at the desk, calculating what was on the draft paper.

Noting the footsteps at the door, the bright old man lifted his eyelids slightly, glanced at the stack of papers in Professor Feverman's hand, and then retracted his gaze and said with no ups or downs.

“I guess you have the preprint of that guy hanging on Arxiv. ”

“Looks like you've seen it," Professor Feverman said with a helpless expression, throwing the paper you just printed aside, "I didn't expect your news to be that intelligent. ”

“At least I'll still accept some new things, at least the internet stuff I used 20 years ago..." Pushed the glasses on the nose beam, Professor Deligne moved his gaze away from the draft paper on the table, "Is that why you came to me? ”

“What do you mean, this is it?” Professor Feverman made an incredible face and made a joke with a funny mouth, “you never heard of the legend? If Lehman proves his assumptions, he will become immortal - not only in the abstract sense, but in the practical sense. ”

This legend comes a long time ago, probably at the end of the nineteenth century, when the French mathematician Hadamard and the Belgian mathematician Poussin made their first substantial progress since the Lehman speculation was put forward, and then they lived to be 98 and 96, respectively.

It is already quite remarkable to be able to live to reach the age of nearly a hundred in an era when medical conditions are not abundant. Therefore, there is also a claim that has been circulating for a long time, and that is who can prove Lehman's assumption that he or she will be physically immortal.

Of course, it's just a joke, and it's been tuned for almost a century.

Hearing this old joke, Deligne hummed her nose twice and glanced at the corner of her mouth.

“... this was an old infarct hundreds of years ago, and some still believe it. Bohr and Landa, who proved Bohr-Landau's theorem, contributed much more than Hadamard, if I recall correctly, when two people died in their sixties. ”

“Well, it doesn't look like God is going to take care of everyone,” Professor Feverman smiled, shrugging his shoulder and continued, “Don't you find his thesis meaningful without these strange legends? ”

Professor Deligne: “I refuse to give my opinion until a formal certification paper is available. ”

Professor Feverman laughed and said, "I'm not asking if you like him, I'm just curious about the idea he mentioned in his paper of starting with the π (x) function to solve the Lehman zeta function. I tried to study it his way, but didn't find any interesting clues... I'm curious, how do you think he would solve this? ”

Professor Feverman: “What do you think he'll do? ”

Professor Deligne glanced at him and said, "You worked with him on the NS equation, don't you know him? ”

Professor Feverman gave a helpless expression: "In fact, I know him very little, and he's used to being alone, both in life and at work. ”

After hearing this, Professor Deligne silenced for a moment.

It took him about five minutes to slowly say.

“Lehman figured it wasn't the kind of problem that could be solved by finding directions, in fact I could say at least ten more, but so far none of the research ideas really gave me hope. The π (x) function is a relatively novel idea, but it's only 90% new, you know, and nobody's ever tried that before. ”

Professor Feverman nodded.

It's not the first time he's heard someone try this direction, even downstairs in a coffee shop, and he's had a similar conversation.

“He is a scholar who is good at using tools and a scholar who is good at creating tools. Whether or not he can benefit from the π (x) function, I am sure he will find a suitable tool for us to solve this problem. ”

Professor Feverman: "Group method? ”

“Not necessarily," Professor Deligne's face revealed with a rare smile, "which was also a problem that haunted the mathematics community for a century and a half, and perhaps he would tailor a new method for it, which would help us to better understand and apply the Lehman zeta function. ”

After a pause, he continued.

“Next year's International Congress of Mathematicians looks like we can look forward to it. ”

Professor Feverman shrugged and said, “He doesn't have to come. ”

Deligne shook her head.

“Believe me, he'll come. ”
