Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

It’s been a week since Lu Zhou hanged thesis on Arxivwebsite, and most people who care about Goldbach’s conjecture have heard the news.

For the fifty-page thesis, some people screamed for the “group structure”, some people said it was unbelievable, and some people dismissed the fifty pages because they wanted to understand all. The proof process is really not an easy task.

除去那些精通“两仪四象Five Elements 八卦”法的民科们，很多解析数论方向的Scholar 即便研究哥德巴赫猜想，也很少有人同时吃透两种以上的方法。

For example, those who delve into the large sieve method are not necessarily proficient in the round method, and vice versa. Apart from the mainstream choices, there are some methods such as choosing the secret rate method and the triangle summation to solve the problem, which is even more unpopular.

In the group theory method used by Lu Zhou, not only can we see the shadow of the sieve method, but we can also see the round method, even the group theory, and the scope of the hunting is not broad.

It is for this reason, let alone verify the correctness of thesis, and there is a certain threshold for trying to understand this thesis.

Of course, the general view of the number theory is quite optimistic. After all, Lu Zhou has already won the Cole number theory award, and solved many problems in the number theory, especially the prime direction.

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

现在不只是关注这一方向的Scholar 们在议论这件事儿，甚至连各大高校Mathematics Department 的student 们，也都在对这篇thesis 议论纷纷。

A discussion at the mathematics forum known abroad for predicting the Philippine Prize was launched.

【OK！我知道他已经解决了Twin Prime Number Conjecture 和Polignac conjecture ，但我们Professor 在课上说过，哥德巴赫猜想和他们完全不是一个级别的东西。就好像常青藤盟校联赛和超级碗一样，虽然都是橄榄球，但完全不是一个重量级。说白了，我不相信他的thesis 是正确的，肯定哪里出了问题，估计要不了多久就会被推翻。】

[So who is your Professor? 】

[Jems Maynard! 14 SASTRA Ramanu Gold Award winner! Candidate for the 18 Years Fields Prize! I think his opinion is quite authoritative. 】

[Oh, that Maynard, I heard that it seems to be the British who studied the prime spacing? I heard that after Zhang Yitang calculated 70 million, he has been challenging Twin Prime Number Conjecture, and he has been preparing for a whole year. The result is that others have won the top spot. (laugh)】

[hehe! 】

[I am contrary to your point of view. Our Professor has a high evaluation of this thesis, and believes that the group structure will become a very promising analytical tool for analytic number theory. 】

【Oh? Which guy is your Professor? IMHO, in the analysis of the number theory, especially in the field of prime numbers, not everyone has the ability to review. 】

[Tao Zhexuan. 】

……

There is no peer review on Arxiv, and the correctness of thesis can’t be determined. Whether this mathematics problem is proved or not is also a matter of time.

However, everyone knows that the mathematics community will not let this dazzling research succeed for too long.

In the second week of Lu Zhou’s upload of thesis, the Princeton Institute of Advanced Studies updated a meeting message on its official website.

Next Monday, Lu Zhou will make a one-hour report on the theme of the Goldbach conjecture at the Auditorium No. 1 of the Princeton Institute of Advanced Studies.

As this announcement came out, all the arguments about the correctness of thesis became a discussion of the report itself.

Many people’s doubts about the correctness of thesis stem from the lack of understanding of the group structure and the fact that the articles on Arxiv are not peer reviewed. If it is posted in the form of a report, and it is still in the place of the Princeton Institute of Advanced Studies, many questions will no doubt be resolved in the questioning session.

It is precisely because of this that Lu Zhou prepared extraordinarily seriously these days, and did not take it lightly because of the approval from the system.

The key to a mathematics conjecture is that it is logically self-consistent, but in the final analysis it still needs to be recognized by peers. This is fundamentally different from the subject test, and no standard answer can be tested. As a claimant to prove conjecture, he is obliged to explain his theory and answer all doubts.

Even if it is a tiny detail, Lu Zhou does not dare to let go, many traps are often hidden in some “obvious” issues.

Not to mention him, it is proved that Wisers of Fermat’s Great Theorem has been on these small issues, and has been stuck for a year by an “obvious” but problematic place. If it was not the encouragement of a friend, it was even intended to admit defeat.

At the time of completing this work, Lu Zhou couldn’t help feeling.

I didn’t feel it before, but now he realizes how useful it is to bring a student.

The thing to be on the stage to do the report is first thrown to the student. When the test center takes it back and looks at it, the places where you can’t understand it are all drawn, and it is obvious that the place where the peers will find it out.

可惜的是，虽然Professor Pierre Deligne 借了一名自己带的博士生给他做参谋，但帮他参谋的也不是理论方面，仅仅是参谋PPT上的事情。

Even if Lu Zhou wants to ask his own thesis where he can’t read it, he just has a look of arrogance and can’t understand it at all.

Because the direction of his research is algebraic geometry, as for the big sieve method and the round method, there is no way to know…

……

Time passed by, and finally arrived the day before the report.

With the influx of a group of mathematics, the quiet Princeton town is full of fun.

Princeton can be said to be quite attentive to hospitality from mathematics homes around the world.

According to the arrangement of the Princeton Institute of Advanced Studies, the mathematics who were invited to participate in the conference were arranged at the Princeton Hotel opposite Palmer Square.

If all goes well, not just the academic conference during the day, there is also a celebration feast filled with champagne and food at night.

However, Lu Zhou has no leisure time to consider these issues, because for him, every minute before the start of the report is very valuable.

The next afternoon, the Princeton Institute of Advanced Studies was incited in Hall 1.

除了受邀参加会议的Scholar 之外，还有一些不请自来的student 。其中有的人是跟着导师来的，有的人就在普林斯顿读书，还有人甚至是开车从隔壁的纽约、费城来的。

Although they did not receive the notice of the specific time of the meeting, some people who waited here early still rushed to the position.

As for those who came late, some simply sat on the aisles on both sides of the seat, and even even stood outside the corners and corridors, and stood with the reporters who heard the news.

The report will officially start at two points and end at three o’clock. It may be extended according to the number of questions asked and the content of the questions.

Not surprisingly, after the report is over, the Princeton Institute of Advanced Studies will unite with the editorial department of the annuals of the mathematics, and will also organize a jury of four to six people. The comprehensive meeting record will simultaneously separate the Lusis’s thesis. Review the manuscript, and finally summarize the review comments to determine whether his thesis passed.

It can be said that the success of this thesis is to see if he can explain his group structure clearly.

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

There are still five minutes left.

This is the tenth time he took out his mobile phone to see the time.

As for the first few deep breaths to adjust the heart rate, he can’t remember.

在此之前，Lu Zhou 有从Professor Pierre Deligne 那里了解到，参加会议的人数。

不考虑自主报名参加的人，光是受邀到场的知名Scholar 就已经超过了一百五十位，其中有的来自巴黎，有的来自德国，也有来自他的祖国，以及一些熟面孔。

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

Soon, he will stand in the eyes of the whole world and draw a picture for this century’s problems.

Just then, a staff member of the Institute of Advanced Studies pushed the door into the preparation room, with a respectful voice and Lu Zhou.

“Lu mister, time is almost over, are you ready?”

Did not answer this question immediately.

Lu Zhou turned and looked at the mirror and reached out to tie the tie in front of her chest.

In the end, I shouted aok a deep breath, he faced himself in the mirror, and his mouth twitched with a smile.

“Ready.”
