From small town academic to chief scientist - Chapter 373 Bet

In fact, the Yau Shing-tung Mathematics Center has its own advantage, which is in the direction of differential geometry.

Even if the subsequent successors are not so good, as long as they continue to train them,

It will never go down.

And now that Xiao Wanyi has appeared, she can not only take over this class perfectly.

Even now we can go further,

This excited everyone in the math center.

That’s why there was this scene where Bill Carr and Yau Cheng-Tong suggested reviewing the manuscript to Zhouyi.

Only a school with a historical heritage can become a super university school.

After Zhou Yi knew Qiu Chengtong’s purpose, he directly called Qiu Chengtong.

“Hello, Teacher Qiu? I’m Zhou Yi.”

A confident voice sounded on the other end of the phone:

“Hello, Zhou Yi? I’m Qiu Chengtong.”

Qiu Chengtong said.

Zhou Yi took the initiative and said:

“I understand your purpose. Do you want me to weave some of the contents into a separate “Number Theory and Geometry”?”

The birth of many mathematical disciplines actually started from studying some conjectures.

And the birth of these disciplines may not necessarily solve this conjecture.

For example, Kepler’s conjecture, Goldbach’s conjecture, etc.

But when mathematicians study them, they can create many mathematical tools and even develop into a new branch of mathematics.

Qiu Chengtong said:

“It’s true. This analytic number theory and geometry are different from the branches of mathematics you founded before.

There are similarities and differences, but the connection is even closer.

Perhaps one day, by solving the generalized Riemann Hypothesis and the Riemann Hypothesis, all these branches can be unified. “

At the beginning, Mr. Chen Shengshen asked Qiu Chengtong to study the Riemann Hypothesis.

But Qiu Chengtong finally chose the Calabi conjecture.

Zhouyi said:

“I also need help from senior sister Xiao and her doctoral students, as well as Bill Carr’s doctoral students, and some professors and doctors who are doing research in analytic number theory.

I will also participate in this matter remotely, and my students studying analytic number theory will also go to your side.

Mr. Qiu, you might be able to hold a press conference to provide a warm-up before this year’s International Congress of Mathematicians based on the reputation and prestige of yourself, Senior Sister Xiao, Bill Carr and other professors. “

After Qiu Chengtong listened to Zhou Yi’s words, he said:

“Okay. That’s it.”

Not long after, Zhou Yi sent this paper to the professor of analytic number theory at the Chongqing High School.

Counting Maynard and Zhou Yi’s students, there are ten people in total.

Including doctoral students, there are a little more than 50 people.

For them, this is a good thing. At least they can publish some papers and graduate easily.

Professors who participate in the compilation of textbooks can also become textbook compilers and stay on the textbooks.

Although the protagonist is Xiao Wanyi.

Seven days later, after everyone read Xiao Wanyi’s paper,

He was called to a large office by Zhou Yi.

“You should have read all Xiao Wanyi’s papers, right?”

Zhou Yi said.

Shen Yiyu on the side said:

“After reading it, Mr. Zhou, you also analyzed the paper. We must have read it and understood Master Xiao’s mistakes.

Maybe from”

Zhou Yi nodded and said:

“Just this little idea?”

Zhou Yi was a little disappointed.

Shen Yiyu said:

“It’s not just that. From Master Xiao’s paper, we can use her innovative thinking to deduce,

The proportion of non-trivial zero points on the critical line that is greater than zero is completely pushed from 40% to 50%. “

Zhou Yi sighed, this is now the limit of Shen Yiyu and others.

Zhou Yi turned his head and looked at the other professors in the field of analytic number theory.

Everyone agreed with Shen Yiyu’s words and even advised Zhou Yi to do this first.

Can have one more world-class top journal.

Zhou Yi said nothing and looked at Maynard.

Maynard said:

“Xiao Wanyi is indeed a young genius. The greatest value of this paper is not to improve the proportion of non-trivial zero points on the critical line that is greater than zero.

Rather, the connection between analytic number theory and Riemannian geometry may be further strengthened and become a small branch of mathematics.

Xiao Wanyi is already as good as a master, I am not as good as me. “

Hearing this, Zhou Yi had to sigh that the older Maynard got, the more sophisticated he became.

He is worthy of his origins as a talented boy.

“Maynard is right, but there is one more thing that breaks the path for us.

At least I don’t have to study this direction anymore. “

Maynard said with a hint of sigh:

“The influence brought by the Riemann Hypothesis is indeed too great, and it attracts too many mathematicians.

When Grothendieck was studying content related to the Riemann Hypothesis,

He also created a new mathematical tool: tale cohomology, which promoted the development of mathematics, especially algebraic geometry. “

Zhouyi said:

“This is also the reason why the Riemann Hypothesis is the most important conjecture of this century.

Measuring the importance of a mathematical conjecture is to examine its relationship with other branches of mathematics, and even with branches of natural science such as physics. “

Everyone was silent, Zhou Yi was right.

Seeing that they were silent, Zhou Yi continued:

“In addition to the above-mentioned point, there is another indicator to measure the importance of a mathematical conjecture, which is whether valuable mathematical methods are developed in the process of studying the conjecture.

Obviously the Riemann Hypothesis is satisfied. “

Donaldson said:

“So this mine was dug into gold by Xiao Wanyi.

He is destined to become a master of mathematics in the future.

I finally understand Old Man Qiu’s purpose. Dean Zhou, which of us will go to Shuimu University? “

Zhouyi said:

“Anyone who is in the field of analytic number theory should go, and by the way, bring along my master’s and doctoral students. It doesn’t matter whether they can publish papers or not. The main thing is that this process is a process of gaining knowledge and increasing qualifications.

It can be regarded as a friendly exchange of visits. “

“Okay, Academician Zhou.”

everyone said.

There is no fear that Xiao Wanyi’s rise will affect the mathematics status of Chongqing High School.

Not to mention the two Millennium Mathematics Problems that have been solved, just the several branches of mathematics that were born from solving these two Millennium Mathematics Problems.

Especially for the branch of mathematical physics that connects NS equations to the direction of physics, these results have made countless universities despair.

The reason for such close cooperation with Yau Shing Tong Mathematics Center is due to Zhou Yi’s background.

That hint of incense.

Maynard said:

“In fact, in addition to the generalized Riemann hypothesis, there is also the extended Riemann hypothesis.”

Zhou Yi nodded and said:

“The modified Riemann zeta function used in the extended Riemann hypothesis is called the Dedekind zeta function, named after the German mathematician Richard Dedekind.

This function is also an analytic continuation of a series,

The Dedekind zeta function, like the Dirichlet L-function, is a generalization of the Riemann zeta function.

They all belong to the deluxe version of the Riemann Hypothesis. “

Maynard said quietly:

“Compared with the p-series expression of the ordinary Ri zeta function, it seems that a subscript K is added to the function name on the left, and n in the series on the right is replaced by N(I),

Then replace the sum of n with the sum of I.

However, this simplicity is purely a superficial phenomenon brought about by the simplicity of mathematical notation. In fact, there is a big story behind every seemingly small difference here, namely K, I and N(I).

Come on, Academician Zhou, I don’t have the courage to study the Riemann Hypothesis and its extension.

Xiao Wanyi was wrong. I am no better than her. “

Everyone also looked directly at Zhou Yi,

You know your own level. If Zhou Yi takes action,

The Riemann Hypothesis may actually be proven.

By then Zhou Yi may not only be the greatest mathematician of this century,

Even mathematicians who will influence the future mathematics community for centuries and thousands of years.

Now Zhouyi has created several branches, large and small,

“Zhou’s Geometry”, “Zhou’s Analytic Method”, “Basics of the Unification of Number Theory and Algebra”, as well as some small branches developed in “Zhou’s Analytical Method”, “Zhou’s Complex Analytical Method

,”Also when studying NS equations, Zhou Yi introduced partial differential equations into differential geometry and differential topology.

A new branch of mathematics was created again, but the content of this branch was compiled by Zhou Yi and his students.

We are currently in a mining area, and many people are improving branches in this field. It is almost done now.

The professors at the Yau Shing-tung Mathematics Center of Shuimu University have also done a lot of work on this branch.

Zhou Yi had already thought of the name of the textbook, and it was called “Zhou’s Three Differentials”.

For his contribution to the development of mathematics, Zhou Yi plays a decisive role in the history of mathematics.

Its status is no less than that of its predecessors. Once Zhou Yi proves the Riemann Hypothesis,

Euler, Gauss, Riemann, and Newton all have to stay behind.

There is no doubt that the strongest one in the history of mathematics a few years ago is Zhouyi.

And everyone here might be able to benefit from it, know development ideas in advance, publish more papers, and solve one or two mathematical problems.

Get a prize or something.

Zhouyi said:

“Okay, pack up. This time when we go out, you are the main one. Don’t embarrass us. Also, if you can,

It wouldn’t hurt to discuss it with the Mathematics Department of Shangjing University. “

Discuss?

Beat him in the face!

Maynard said:

“Okay. Academician Zhou, I will invite them to come and see it.”

Zhou Yi nodded and said:

“My student Zhang Dugan is the deputy of the team.

His undergraduate degree is from Shuimu University, so he is relatively familiar with it. “

Zhang Dugan said immediately:

“Okay, Teacher Zhou.”

After the conversation, everyone dispersed.

In 2030, Zhou Yi had not seen their results yet, and he sighed slightly in his heart.

This year’s Fields Medal probably has no connection with the Chongqing High Court.

Even if there are results this year, there is no guarantee whether he will be selected.

There are currently many achievements in mathematics, and only two Fields Medal winners will be selected in 2026.

Therefore, 2030 will definitely be an extremely fierce battle between dragons and tigers.

Zhou Yi called and asked his students one by one.

The endings are not ideal.

It’s not their fault. Mathematics problems that can win the Fields Medal,

Is it that easy to solve?

Among Zhou Yi’s students, there is one who graduated from high school competition and continues to study mathematics.

Except for Zhang Dugan, there was no one else.

The others all came from regular college entrance exams.

Not the group of people at the top of the pyramid.

But if you can win the Fields Medal in your 30s, you will already be a first-class mathematician.

Zhou Yi felt lucky that half of the six students could win the Fields Medal.

Even if these six students are one point better than the original golden generation.

But the Fields Medal, in addition to strength and hard work, is almost a matter of luck.

If inspiration comes and you suddenly have an epiphany, it will be easy to solve the mathematical problem in your hand.

If it can’t be solved for a long time, when time passes, it can only be missed.

Therefore, Zhouyi has to continue to accept students, two every year, and teach them carefully.

As the number increases, there will always be some awesome students.

In the evening, when I returned home, I told Xia Xue Qiu Chengtong’s purpose.

Xia Xue said:

“Are academic factions that important?”

Zhouyi said:

“Of course it is important, just like the inheritance of sects in martial arts novels, just like the inheritance and ideas of various schools of thought,

But now it has evolved into a scientific academic faction.

The world’s top academics monopolize an incredible amount of academic knowledge, and there are countless people who make huge profits from it. “

Xia Xue gently massaged Zhou Yi’s head and said:

“Yes, there are various factions in the Rabbit Writers Association, including many literary factions. There are intrigues and pursuits of fame and fortune.”

“Go to sleep, go to bed. Tomorrow we will go to see the progress of the Aeronautical Institute. If this very sci-fi spaceship can be developed,

And successfully reached the moon, we will also have the opportunity to go to the moon in the future. “

Zhou Yi said with a yawn.

“Can we go up there and play too?”

Xia Xue asked with a hint of surprise.

Zhou Yi fiddled with the pillow, hugged Xia Xue in a comfortable position, and said softly:

“Of course, it’s just a preliminary design now. When there is a technological breakthrough later, let alone a thousand-ton spaceship,

Spaceships with tens of thousands of tons like battleships can be built,

They can also install their own advanced laser weapons, rail guns, etc.

The influence brought by nuclear fusion will be initially revealed. “

Xia Xue stood up and turned off the light, yawned and said:

“Senior is so awesome~ I hope that one day we can go to the moon together.”

After a while, the two fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, Zhou Yi arrived at the airport in the morning and saw Maynard off.

This is also the first time that Maynard has visited Chongqing High School as a representative of the Mathematics Institute of Chongqing High School in so many years.

It means many things.

One of them is that it has completely said goodbye to Oxford University and has completely become the Chongqing High Court.

The kind that will share weal and woe with the Chongqing High Court in the future.

Outside the airport, Zhou Yi emphasized some things and left.

Maynard on the side said to two students of Zhouyi who were studying analytical number theory:

“The generalized Riemann Hypothesis that your uncle has not solved, I guess it won’t be long before your teacher will solve it.”

Shen Yiyu asked with interest:

“Professor, how long do you think it will take Teacher Zhou to solve it?”

Maynard spread his hands and said in a speculative tone:

“Oh my God. Who knows? I think maybe after the moon landing in June?”

Shen Yiyu said:

“Then we want to make a bet? I’ll bet before we land on the moon.”

“What’s the bet? Could it be my Fields Medal?”

Maynard said with a somewhat uncertain tone.

Throughout the Chongqing High Court, Shen Yiyu clamored every day to become a god and become a future Fields Medal winner.

Shen Yiyu said:

“No, if you lose, help me solve one of my tricky math problems. If I lose, I’ll help you solve one?”

“OK, deal! I just have a few difficult problems that I can’t solve.”

Maynard said with certainty of victory.

Shen Yiyu smiled and said:

“It’s not certain who will win.”
