From small town academic to chief scientist

Chapter 96 The prospects of two major conjectures (two in one, please subscribe!)

The National Federation of Mathematics and Its Applications not only explained this on Twitter, but also explained it on its official website.

This made many people watching the show say it was wonderful.

Many skilled people have already seen the gap here.

And some people who are not good enough in mathematics have also come to understand after such a mention.

It is indeed not unfair that their group's paper lost to Zhouyi.

Now on March 18th, from the time the results were announced to the present, so many things have happened in just three days.

The words and deeds on the Internet really opened Zhou Yi's eyes, and monsters and monsters were dancing around.

Everyone can come out and make judgments, and then look at the level of the other party and graduate from elementary school.

Within three days, Yamadao Yimu, Jin Xiangtai, William and others also wrote letters of apology.

After seeing the letter of apology, the Magnesium Organizing Committee did not pursue the case.

After Yang Shuai saw the news from several parties,

Without thinking, I just went ahead and spoke on Twitter.

Yang Shuai directly used Twitter Aite,

[ @Seoul National University Undergraduate Mathematics Association @Eastern University Undergraduate Mathematics Association @Imperial College Undergraduate Mathematics Association, the gap between you before was not only an intellectual gap, but also a cultural gap;

The aesthetics cultivated by five thousand years of cultural heritage are beyond the imagination of countries like you who can't even use words clearly.

It is recommended that you learn more about the culture of Daxia, which may help improve your aesthetics. 】

The biggest taboo of the two countries is that others say that their culture originated from Daxia, which is tantamount to severely hammering them based on their IQ and cultural origins.

The key is the answer given by the organizing committee.

To refute, Yang Shuai directly posted the reply from the organizing committee.

Now these groups of people have no time to pay attention to Zhou Yi and others, they are writing a short essay to apologize.

Because their school has already issued a notice, if Ka Shuobo really goes to study in Magnesia, they will definitely lose.

If you cannot satisfy the organizing committee, even if you are the second generation of a chaebol, I will make you feel uncomfortable.

And he questioned Yau shamelessly,

Are only undergraduate students qualified?

I'm afraid he doesn't know about Yau's confrontation with Daxia Kingdom in Beijing University.

Fight alone against the crowd and never fall behind.

In response to Zhou Yi's retaliation, they also expressed their resignation.

They have looked for several doctors but none can be Zhou Yi's opponent. This is not to admit defeat. Being harsh will only make people laugh. It is better to openly admit that they are not as good as Zhou Yi, and maybe they can get a reputation that is glorious even if they lose.

The premise is that Zhou Yi must be beaten first and lose to the world's number one undergraduate, so that everyone will not be embarrassed.

Moreover, they checked the situation of Zhouyi and found that this guy was only a sophomore and had published a total of 12 SCI articles.

At this level, who can match it?

Therefore, it is reasonable to say that Zhou Yi is the number one undergraduate in the world. It is not shameful for us to lose to such a powerful opponent, and it will be an honor to lose.

But one thing is that they turned in the paper earlier than the Zhou Yi, at least breaking the record of the Zhou Yi's early submission!

This is their last bit of stubbornness.

No, they started writing directly on Twitter:

[Zhou Sang, we also recognize the information interpreted by the organizing committee. Your strength is the best among undergraduates in the world. There is no doubt that at least I, the University of Japan, recognize it.

But we submitted the paper an hour and a half earlier than Zhou Sang, which can be regarded as a successful attack on Zhou Sang. At least Zhou Sang was not the first to submit the paper.

Finally, we would like to say that we welcome Zhou Sang to study with us, and we will definitely have the best top mathematics masters to lead you forward.

There are also beautiful cherry blossoms and guliang.

Japan welcomes Zhou Sang! 】

[Zhou Zhou, Oppa, our undergraduate mathematics department at Seoul National University also agreed that the organizing committee was right. If there are three more situations, it will be responsible for the life of the rider.

However, we submitted the paper earlier than Zhou Sang. Hehe, as long as we are better than Zhou Sang in one aspect, we will be successful.

In addition, Zhou Zhou Oppa, welcome to study at Seoul National University, we also have top mathematics masters to guide you forward. The kimchi and guliang of Korea are no worse than those of Japan. Please consider us first. 】

[Mr.zhou, your ability impresses us and makes us admire you. Your ability is ranked first among undergraduates in the world. At least we are convinced.

As Seoul National University and Dong Jing University said, our only advantage is that we submitted the paper two hours earlier than you. This is the only thing we can be proud of.

It won't be completely crushed.

Secondly, we in Daying have produced countless great mathematicians and have sufficient background and culture. We welcome Mr.zhou to study in our country of Ying and meet the aristocratic lady. In the future, you will also be a noble of Daying. 】

The three universities' Twitters all followed Zhou Yi at the same time.

They know very well what it means to be a rising mathematician.

The key point is that Zhou Yi is only 19 years old, what a young post-00s generation.

If the country wants to be strong, it must be strong in science and technology, and if it wants to be strong in science and technology, then mathematics is the first subject that needs to be strengthened.

Not only mathematics is applied to various disciplines, but when mathematics is used to study theories, the algorithms produced can be applied to all walks of life.

Nowadays, everyone thinks it is very low-key to say that any discipline such as science, engineering, finance, etc. cannot use mathematical models.

Zhou Yi saw their replies and some didn't know how to reply.

This sincere tone was definitely an apology and an admission of defeat, but submitting the paper before me?

I'm afraid I'm ahead of you.

Zhou Yi thought for a while and replied:

[Thank you for your invitation. I have no plans to go abroad yet. Thank you for your invitation. 】

Just when Zhou Yi finished replying, the staff of the US competition organizing committee directly announced the time for Zhou Yi to submit his paper.

And added:

[The submission time that you are so proud of, Zhou Yi actually handed in the paper more than half an hour earlier than you. 】

It seems that the organizing committee is really angry.

At this point, I am still following the news on Twitter.

When these words come out, they are nothing more than thin veil.

The little sense of superiority the people of the three teams had was all gone.

The private teachers who had been paying attention to this matter also collectively lost their voices.

All eyes were on Zhao Ruinan of Beijing University.

Zhao Ruinan is naturally very familiar with all kinds of news on the Internet.

The opinions of self-media are naturally unimportant.

They count as a hammer.

The key is that the opinions of domestic and foreign peers are the most important.

As well as the college's preparations to promote him to create momentum, this is not what he wants to see.

Zhou Yicai was a sophomore and he was already a senior. Not only did he lose the math competition, but he also lost the American competition.

I lost from the beginning when I chose the topic to avoid the Book of Changes.

This is not controversial at all.

Although it is unclear who will have higher achievements in the future.

But if you go against your conscience and admit that you have the best undergraduate degree in the world, it will definitely be a stain in the future.

It's a joke among colleagues.

If you cannot produce absolutely overwhelming results, you will definitely not be able to convince the public.

I don’t know which beast insists on comparing me to Zhou Yi. Is this even possible?

Zhao Ruinan also secretly checked Zhou Yifa's papers. There are 12 SCI papers. Who has this ability?

At this time, various official blogs of Chongqing University became active.

[Warm congratulations to our school’s Zhou Yi for winning three consecutive mathematics championships. 】

After the official blog of Chongqing University forwarded it, the scarves of Xiao Wanyi, Li Fengjun, Wu Yong and others also forwarded this scarf.

By the way, he also offered his blessings.

At first, Zhou Yi conquered them with his strength.

In their hearts, Zhao Ruinan is really inferior to Zhou Yi, but laymen don't know it.

As we are both studying mathematics, we must know who is stronger and who is weaker.

You know, Zhou Yi Meisai brought her school girl, which is equivalent to two and one.

That Tian Yiguang was probably also the target of being taken away.

At the beginning, Zhouyi was ranked first and second in the national competition, and he was completely crushed from beginning to end in the mathematics competition.

Rather than adding icing on the cake, as smart people, they would definitely choose to provide help in times of need. Zhou Yi is not only better than Zhao Ruinan now, but will definitely be better than Zhao Ruinan in the future.

And it is much stronger. Even if Zhao Ruinan is backed by Beijing University, it is really hard to say what will happen in the future.

There is also a game between schools and colleges behind this.

The forwarding by students is not the forwarding by the school. If you go to Beijing University and you are dissatisfied, there is nothing you can do about it.

Our official media didn’t say anything.

When Zhao Ruinan saw this, he immediately made up his mind to directly repost Chongqing University's scarf and wrote:

[Congratulations to Mr. Zhou Yi for winning the title of question A. In order to avoid the boss, I directly chose question B. Thumbs up for my original wit. Question A is really like a cloud of strong people, I am not as good as a dog head. 】

After Zhao Ruinan said these words, the stone in his heart was finally put down.

Anyway, I've given up. Everything else is just the self-media's boast. I won't take the blame.

It wasn't until this moment that all the media reacted.

But at this time, Zhou Yi no longer paid attention to this matter.

Zhao Ruinan came out to admit defeat, and the matter was basically over. They continued to quarrel, wasting time, and making people laugh at the same time, which was considered to be a glimmer of hope.

The media from all walks of life didn't say anything when they saw Zhou Yi, and they were not stupid. Everyone understood it.

The next time you have a problem with the Yi Zhou, as long as it does not involve a matter of principle, I will definitely help you once.

The people who originally ate the melon also dispersed.

The winner is definitely Zhou Yi, but Zhou Yi didn't continue to slap him in the face, which is a step down for all parties.

Everyone is doing well in terms of face.

At this moment, Zhou Yi had already arrived from the dormitory to Dean Miao Lai's office.

Because Miao came to see Zhou Yi for something.

Zhou Yi was a little confused as to why the dean was looking for him.

"Zhou Yi, you're here, sit down."

Zhou Yi sat on a sofa chair and saw that Tang Ping and Dean Miao Lai were both there.

"You said before that you wanted to go in the direction of number theory, but we have contacted some tutors for you, including those from Beijing University, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and of course Shuimu University."

Zhou Yi did not speak, but looked at the dean and continued:

"Professor Tian Shi of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has made a huge leap in his research on the BSD conjecture, answering the question of whether there are congruent numbers. Last time we went to Huadong, we also contacted the professor there.

It is not impossible to become his disciple, you have to pass his test. "

The BSD conjecture, also known as the Behe ​​and Svenaton-Dyer conjecture, also called the BSD conjecture of elliptic curves, is one of the seven major mathematical problems in the world today.

Regarding the long-standing question that must be answered when solving the BSD conjecture, the so-called "whether there are congruence numbers", Professor Tian Shi gave the clue to the answer for the first time, that is, there are countless congruence numbers.

This problem originated in Arabia in the 11th century AD. Many congruential and non-congruential numbers have been determined so far, but the entire problem has not been completely solved.

The connection between the congruence problem and elliptic curves is: n is a congruence number if and only if the rank of the elliptic curve E_n: y^2= x^3- n^2x is ≥ 1, that is, this equation has infinite rational solutions.

In 1983, Tunnell used the relationship between the L function L(En, s) of this curve and the modular form to give an elementary method for identifying congruent remainders:

A positive integer N without square factors is a congruence number if and only if the number of integer solutions (x, y, z) of the equation 2x^2+y^2+32z^2=N is that of the equation 2x^2+y^2+32z^2=N 2 times the integer solution.

If the BSD conjecture is true for the elliptic curve E_n, then the reverse is also true.

For example, people guess that n = 5, 6, 7 (mod 8) must be a congruent number.

Under these circumstances, it is not difficult to see that the above two indefinite equations have integer solutions and the number of solutions is the same, so this conjecture is correct if the BSD conjecture is true.

As a student in the Department of Mathematics, Zhou Yi also knows what this means. As they said, I am afraid that this BSD conjecture may become a theorem in the near future.

If it is completely solved, I am afraid that China’s first Abel Prize will fall into the hands of Professor Tian.

No wonder it’s a test.

Professor Ida's age has long missed the requirement for the Fields Medal.

Zhouyi said:

"What about Beijing University?"

Tang Ping said at this time:

"Professor Li, but the conditions are not simple. They all need to pass the test."

Zhou Yi's inner slander, three crowns, and so many SCI papers have to pass the test to see if he is so perverted.

"Actually, we have also contacted Shuimu University. If you want to go, we can send you there. In addition, there are some famous foreign universities, such as Imperial College of Technology and Eastern Economic University. It depends on what you choose."

“Shuimu University has a Bill Carr Fields Medal scholar who is basically the world’s top expert in the field of algebraic geometry.

But if you choose to go to Shuimu University, you also know the domestic mathematics environment and future prospects. Needless to say, you have experienced so much in the past few days and you should have some insights. "

Professor Tang Ping and Professor Miao Lai analyzed the situation clearly.

The choice was given to Zhou Yi.

The scandal between Mr. Qiu of Shuimu University and the Mathematics Department of Shangjing University is known to the whole world. Going to Shuimu is equivalent to being a shadow of the Yau school. It will be difficult to be elected as an academician in the future.

Ordinary people want to be evaluated as academicians, not only for those who have achieved results.

The academic world of Daxia Kingdom is not about fighting and killing, but about worldliness.

In fact, Miu Lai and Tang Ping were also very entangled. It was obviously better for their future development to go to Beijing University, but if they wanted to better study pure mathematics, Shuimu University was obviously better.

There is selfishness but also publicity towards students.

The Mathematics Department of Shuimu University, with the help of Yau, has been exploring mathematical talents from all over the world. Many mathematics masters are basically joining full-time, and their strength has long been different from what it used to be.

Zhouyi said:

"Why don't you respond for now? Wait until I think about it again?"

Zhou Yi actually prefers to go to Shuimu University, where there are top mathematics scholars.

Regarding the study of number theory, Zhou Yi also learned a lot about the BSD conjecture and ABC conjecture.

These predecessors have studied these, and ABC conjectures that the Chinese mathematician Mochizuki Shinichi also studied very profoundly.

I originally published a paper of more than 500 pages, but it was later questioned by the mathematical genius Schultz that it contained erroneous proofs.

Mochizuki Shinichi re-researched it and later published it.

Accepted by "Publications of the Research Institute for Mathematical Sciences", a mathematics magazine of Kyoto University in Japan.

However, the story is far from over. Mathematicians led by Peter Schulz and Jacob Stix are still full of doubts about his proof, which also means that his proof is far from being recognized by the mathematical community as a "Theorem" still has a long way to go.

Therefore, in China, the ABC conjecture is a theorem, but in other places, it is still a conjecture.

What Zhou Yi wanted to do was to study on the basis of his predecessors, which would allow Zhou Yi to make few detours.

"Okay, now I'm just trying to prepare you. With your current level, it's really unreasonable to still be an undergraduate. Graduating early is not impossible."

Miu Lai said calmly,

Obviously staying at Chongqing University is just a waste of time for Zhou Yi.

There is not much they can teach Zhou Yi.
