Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Chapter 1031: As if from the Void

At the beginning of the twentieth century, Hilbert's lecture on the question of the century ushered in a new centenary journey for Lehman speculation.

And mathematics, a small boat far from the sight of mortals, has left a spectacular legend beneath the clouds of the changing twentieth century.

At this moment, this century-old journey about the glory of the human mind has finally reached its end.

After watching from almost the eyes of the world, this presentation in response to the question of the century finally opened the curtain…

The debrief will be live and the head will be saved.

Even the largest reporting hall at the Hotel Clincia was unable to accommodate all attendees in a normal position, as well as those who arrived not far from home.

Some people moved stools from other places, others simply sat on their seats, others even sat in their suitcases...

Journalists carrying cameras stood in the last row of the venue, with only two or three cameras there.

In order not to interfere with the presentation, the IMU Assembly Organizing Committee granted access to only a limited number of media outlets. It is precisely for this reason that only the BBC, CTV and Columbia Television, the media with some global influence, are standing in this room at the moment.

Noisy voices pervaded the entire venue, almost overturning the ceiling.

Almost everyone is discussing the forthcoming debriefing, and the paper that was published yesterday on Arxiv by the Ark.

And just then, not far away came a slight sound of the door opening.

The door near the podium opened, a figure that no one would ever know, and walked smoothly in from outside the reporting hall.

Like being sealed in the mouth, the whole room quieted down.

A pair of hot eyes focused on the person in unison.

Everyone is waiting for him to open the meeting...

Looking around at the audience under the podium, the ark standing on the stage opened its mouth, but just as he was preparing to begin the 60-minute briefing, a pair of eyes underneath the stage filled with anticipation and confusion suddenly changed his mind and replaced it with an opening.

“… I know you probably have a lot of questions to ask, including Lehman's assumptions, including the future for all of us. So much so that when I first walked in, I noticed this fellow sitting in the front row half-ass. The stock has left the chair... I guess he must have a lot of questions for me and can't wait to hear them. ”

There was a good laugh under the stage, and the already heavy air eased a little.

Looking at the young scholar, who sat back with an embarrassing red face, the ark paused for a moment and said with a brief kiss.

“As is customary, it is time for me to end this bullshit and start this 60-minute report, but given the exceptional circumstances, I intend to set aside five minutes before the start of the report to answer some of the audience's questions so that they can focus more on the report itself. If there's anything you want to know before this report starts, raise your hands. ”

The sentence was barely finished, and one hand instantly raised it.

The ark looked around the front row of the venue and lit up a person.

The Indian little brother in the front row, chosen by the ark, stood up quickly.

The scholar, in his glasses, about thirty years old, curly hair, from downstream of the mathematician's contempt chain, artificial intelligence, came up and threw a sharp question.

“Has Lehman's guess been proven? ”

More than half the audience put their ears up.

For scholars who are not engaged in the analysis of the direction of mathematics, while they are equally concerned about how the Ark proves Lehman's assumptions and how this set of mathematical methods affects other disciplines, they are more concerned about whether Lehman's assumptions themselves are proven.

Even if it's just a positive tone to make a claim.

Responding to all the expectations of the entire site, the ark nodded down.

“Yes, I can say very responsibly that from now on, it doesn't matter if you use it as a theorem. ”

The sound of whispering came from under the stage.

Many people's faces are filled with unexpected expressions.

Generally, the more well-known scholars are, the more they love their feathers. Unless you are the kind of person who has completely let yourself go, few people would have claimed to prove a major mathematical proposition in such a positive tone if they weren't more than 10 percent sure.

After all, if it succeeds, it's okay to say that if it fails, it's not something that can be easily uncovered by the phrase "I'm sorry I made a mistake”.

The frequent refusal of Sir Attia, who had claimed to prove himself to be a Lehman conjecture, was due in large part to the fact that he had not done anything “good” in the past decade, often claiming indefinitely what he had proved without giving an explanation, and even when he had claimed to prove Lehman's conjecture, even Arxiv had refused his manuscripts, so that he had to find alternative ways to publish his own research. (Note 1)

The practice of leaving no room for himself like this surprised many people with his courage and confidence.

Got the answer I wanted, the little Indian brother sat back and stood up as a math professor from Columbia University.

“After Lehman figured it out? Analyze Mathematics Where will this discipline go? I mean… the countless breakthroughs that we have achieved throughout the twentieth century in the field of mathematics, including the Fermata Theorem, have been more or less the result of exploration or indirect exploration of Lehman speculation. And now this hen, who only lays golden eggs, is gone, so how do we go about the future? ”

This question is undoubtedly slightly more level than the previous one, which could be answered with or without use.

The ark thought for about five seconds and said.

“I can answer your question, but I want to put the answer at the end of the whole briefing. ”

After looking at the wall clock, the ark cleared its voice and continued.

“Time is almost up, please let go of those hands that are still in the air. ”

“At the end of this briefing, I will set aside enough time to answer all of your questions. ”

“Now, let's get down to business. ”

Just like the countless presentations that had been made, he turned to the canoe in front of the whiteboard and picked up the marker pen placed under the whiteboard.

Then he wrote down the first line of word--

[Exhibit: All extraordinary zeros of the Lehman zeta function are in a straight line with Re (s) = 12 on the composite plane...]

No special opening remarks.

Everyone, however, implicitly focused their sights on the whiteboard.

Report on Lehman's Proof of Thoughts…

It's already started!

Downstairs.

Staring at the line of words printed on the white board, Tao Zhexuan, sitting next to Professor Feverman, suddenly said in a slightly exciting tone.

“He did adjust the presentation! ”

“Isn't that inevitable?” Professor Feverman looked at him strangely, "and now the whole mathematics community cares about it, even if he wants to pretend that nothing happened, it's impossible. ”

Tao Zhexuan continued with excitement, “No, I wasn't sure he was serious until a few minutes ago, but now it seems my suspicions are superfluous. ”

Professor Feverman opened his mouth and made a helpless expression, he said.

“… if that's what you think, it's really superfluous. At least as far as I know about him, he never jokes about things like this. ”

Just as the two were speaking, standing on the canoe, the motion did not pause at all, the stroke in their hands flew fast, and in less than half a minute, they had brushed through four or five rows.

[zeta (s) = 2º (1-s) (2π) s-1sin (πs2) zeta (1-s)...]

……

Soon after the first step is taken, the second step will be taken.

As a line of formulas is written, the number of formulas on the whiteboard is increasing, and the difficulty gradually becomes obvious and easy to understand, becoming obscure and complicated.

Sitting in front of the stage, he looked up at the cloud-like dancing strokes on the white board, whether it was Wang Academicians or the young scholars Zhang Yi, Xu Chenyang and Yang Yongan sitting next to him, his face was filled with shocking divine colors.

Surprised by this series of exquisite operations, Yang Yongan finally failed to hold on and exclaimed his praise.

“… so fast! ”

Zhang Wei, sitting next to him, also sounded a complex emotion.

“Looks like he's really going to finish the entire paper in 60 minutes. ”

In fact, he was prepared for this 60-minute report, which could be extended, before the briefing.

After all, in terms of the content of the paper hanging on Arxiv, it doesn't look like it could be all made clear in 60 minutes, and many of the complex deep logic, even if the prover himself recalls it, will take a lot of work.

But now it looks like he's thinking too much.

I'm afraid it won't take as long as 60 minutes to keep talking like this. Forty or 50 minutes is enough time for this great god...

Xu Chenyang's expression complexly said: “Incredible… does he not need to think at all at this speed? ”

Just follow the paper, but only hold one pen in his hand.

The most incredible thing is that even writing alone is accompanied by a brief explanation of why he wrote this step and for what step it was buried.

It feels like…

The whole process of proof has been engraved in his mind, and it's the kind that comes entirely from his heart.

Zhang Yan sighed for a while and said, “Perhaps all the steps are in his mind. ”

Yang Yongan looked at him with emotion.

“Well... that would be an exaggeration. ”

At this time, Qin Yue, sitting beside him without a word, suddenly interjected.

“This is not an exaggeration for a professor. ”

Hearing this sudden sound, whether Yang Yongan, Zhang Wei or Xu Chenyang, or the king sitting there in silence, all threw unexpected gaze at Qin Yue's side.

Noting those who looked at themselves, Qin Yue paused for a moment and continued.

“From what I know of the professor, he doesn't even bother to write these things down. ”

Master Wang Shicheng frowned and said: “Is that really a live push? ”

“I'm afraid so," Qin Yue nodded and continued, "for him, resolving a solved problem again is in itself a pleasant thing. ”

Yes…

Try to solve the problem again as a pastime…

No wonder this guy is so strong.

And no matter how shocked the expression on the faces of several Academicians Wang Shicheng after Qin Yue said this, the two winners of the last IMU Congress Fields Award sitting on the other side of the venue were equally shocked by the series of operations of the canoe standing on stage.

“Unbelievable...” he moved his lower stiff neck, Professor Al-Aqsai lifted his forefinger, touched the glasses on his lower nose beam, whispered softly in his mouth, "Introducing the differential flow into the compound plane... his method completely reversed my understanding of differential geometry and the subpure function. ”

Sitting beside him, Schultz, holding his arms, smiled and said, "Looks like he's playing very steady. ”

Al-Aqsai glanced at him and said, “It's a little... surprising. ”

Schultz: "Accident what? ”

Staring straight at the whiteboard, Aksai pondered for a while and continued: “I don't understand how he came up with it. I don't know if you can understand this feeling, like a light coming from the sky, but when we look up, we can't find a light source. ”

Also looking at the already buried whiteboard, Schultz suddenly laughed and said in a somewhat emotional tone.

“It's nothing strange, we don't understand, just because we don't know how long he's been wandering in front of the maze. Until an ambitious outcome is achieved, he does not seem to be happy to share it with us in his thesis. ”

“So I can understand your confusion, my friend. Because those formulas are the same for me, they're not so obscure as to be incomprehensible, but they still give me that feeling of untruthfulness. Just like Mr. Grotendik's work, almost every scholar who goes into this field has studied the classics of algebraic geometry. However, when we try to follow his path and trace it back to where he came from, this paranoid idea is mostly frustrated. It's like...”

Speaking of which, Schultz paused for a moment.

Just as if he was looking for a good metaphor, he thought for a long time.

At this moment, the filled whiteboard on the stage has been dragged aside by the staff and replaced with a brand new whiteboard.

The ark, standing in front of the whiteboard, only paused for a few seconds, lifted the pen in his hand and continued to work hard on it.

At this point, Schultz finally thought of it.

And almost subconsciously, that unfinished word came out of his mouth.

“… as if from a void. ”

“It's like those formulas don't belong in this world at all. ”

(Note 1: Sir Attia himself publicly complained about this during the questioning session in Heidelberg, and indeed it is rare for scholars like him to be frequently denied drafts, especially where even folk mathematicians like Arxiv can be tolerated.

A failure on a major mathematical proposition asserts that the blow to the academic reputation of a scholar is extremely severe, and that successive failures ultimately result in a loss of trust for all, and that even the optical rings of the Fields and Abel Prizes can be overshadowed by a loss of academic reputation. From this, academia is a place of unparalleled reality.
