After Vera’s report ended, it not only caused a warm response at the conference, but also attracted the attention of the media at the international mathematics conference.

For a long time, the mathematics community has long been considered a male field, and few women have been able to make outstanding achievements in this field. And this means that the impact of any outcome will be magnified.

What’s more, as a digital game that has been popular in North America, the difficulty of the proposition of Kakutani is not low.

However, what the media regrets is that the young female mathematics does not seem to like being interviewed, or some fear of being touched by the camera.

Fortunately, although she did not interview Vera herself, her tutor was better able to speak.

The third day after the end of the report, the fourth day of the International Mathematics Conference.

A reporter from the BBC Science section made an appointment with Lu Zhou for a brief interview at a coffee shop near the Barra da Tijuca Hotel.

BBC Reporter: “… We all know that there are two reports that will be relevant to you. The proof of the Koraku guess is a report completed by your student, Ms. Vera Puyui. How do you rate your student? ?”

Lu Zhou: “Vila is a very good student, including her two other collaborators, Qin Yue and Hardy. The innate talent in number theory is also very good. I don’t think gender is a problem that needs to be translated. Among the Scholars I know, there are also very good women.”

BBC Reporter: “I heard that she got your guidance while studying the Gu Gu Guxiang. Many people think that this conjecture is actually solved by you. How do you think about these remarks or rumors?”

Lu Zhou laughed: “What I have provided is just a solution to the problem and a methodological guide to them, and the whole proof is indeed done by themselves. This is beyond doubt. And, it turns out that the group construction method is also true. It is an excellent number theory method that can be used to solve many problems in additive number theory.”

Reporter: “So, with regard to group formation, what is the most optimistic about which problem it is used to solve? Or, which field is the proposition?”

Lu Zhou smiled and said, “Do you really want me to say it? Actually, I think even if I don’t say it, my peers can probably see it.”

The reporter grinned: “You still have to talk about it, take care of our laymen.”

Lu Zhou thought for a moment and replied briefly: “Hua Lin.”

Among many additive number theory issues, the Hualin problem can be said to be one of the classic propositions.

This proposition originated from the “Algebra Meditation” published by Hualin in 1770. In the work, Edward Hualin himself guessed that for each non-1 positive integer k, there is a positive integer g(k), so that each A positive integer can be expressed as the sum of up to g(k) k-th powers.

As a classic problem in additive number theory, there are not many people who are engaged in research on this issue.

The existence of g(k) has been proved by Hilbert in a complicated way, and the case of g(2)=4 is the quadratic sum theorem, which was proved by Lagrange in the eighteenth century.

Among the later researchers, Weiyfreich, Balasubra Manian, and Chen Jingrun proved g(3), g(4), and g(5), respectively.

If you want to ask Lu Zhou what optimism is used to solve the problem, then there is no doubt that it is Hualin.

“That was really amazing…” The reporter looked at Lu Zhou in surprise. Although she is not a scholar in the academic world, after all is a journalist in the science column, she still hears about the status of this issue in the field of mathematics. of.

After a pause, the BBC reporter continued to ask: “So, for your other report, we all know that you have proved that the solution to the NS equation exists, and the academic community generally recognizes your proof…but If, I am saying, the proposition is not proven, but is falsified, what effect will it have on our livelihood?”

Ten fingers crossed on the knees and leaned on the chair, Lu Zhou laughed, and said with a relaxed tone: “In fact, if this proposition is falsified, the meaning will be even greater. Take the smoothness as an example, if we find that in a particular At the point in time, our equations are no longer smooth, which may mean that we not only solve an unsolved mathematics puzzle, but also that we have discovered a new physics.”

Reporter: “Do you feel sorry?”

Lu Zhou sighed: “It’s a pity… In fact, when we worked with Fefferman Professor on this topic, we thought we found this special point in time. The result is regrettable to prove that it is just an illusion.”

“What made you discover?”

“When jogging around the lake, as for a more specific idea…” Lu Zhou looked around and asked, “Is there a blackboard here? If there is, I can explain this in detail.”

Reporter Khan said: “This… no need.”

Relevant reports were released on the second day after the interview. After the editing of the BBC Science column, some fragments of the report were interspersed, which was the original appearance of the interview.

After Lu Zhou saw the news video on the oily soil, he looked at the comment area by the way.

However, unfortunately, foreign netizens seem to be not very interested in mathematics and Study tyrant these two distinguishing things. The focus of attention is all on Vera.

The most praised comments, the translations are basically “small elder sister is beautiful!”, “I want to travel to Ukraine”, “Is there a boyfriend?”, “Want to find a girlfriend?” The content of the class.

He admits that trying to overcome the weakness of his heart, Vera, who stood on the stage and bravely made a report, did look at some dazzling. But the place that really deserves attention is not at all these boring things.

It is too superficial!

Shaking his head, Lu Zhou closed the video, and I was ignored by the netizens on the Internet. I didn’t want to talk…

……

The core of the International Mathematics Conference is still in academic exchanges, and there have been many wonderful thesis and reports during the conference. In all senses, Lu Zhou can be said to have gained a lot in this conference.

Throughout the academic exchanges, every day, the nine-day international mathematics home conference finally came to a close in the singing and dancing of a group of South American artists.

After the closing ceremony, the logo outside the Barra da Tijuca hotel was withdrawn, and the scholars from all over the world took the return flight.

It is worth mentioning that in the end, Bill Carol did not find his lost medal.

However, the organizer held a special award ceremony in a generous manner, and made up for the lost medals. It was not a regret that the conference was not able to make up.

“… Rio’s law and order is disappointing, and there are even participants who have been robbed on the beach. There is no doubt that this is definitely the worst ICM conference in history. There has never been a theft of the Fields Prize. Things, and even within half an hour of the awarding ceremony just finished.” Sitting on the returning plane, Fefferman Professor shook his head.

The South American mathematics community is unique in the direction of the power system, which is headed by Brazil, and this is one of the reasons why this mathematics conference was chosen in Rio de Janeiro.

Although the International Mathematics Alliance had previously had concerns about the security situation in Rio de Janeiro, I did not expect it to be so serious, and I did not expect such awkward things to happen.

In particular, the attitude of the local police in Rio de Janeiro is even more disappointing.

If it weren’t for the excellent reports in the conference, this ICM conference could only be described as bad…

Lu Zhou said with a smile: “Why don’t you come to Beijing to hold it? I can guarantee that even if you dig three feet, the lost medal will be found.”

Of course, Lu Zhou feels that the greater possibility is that the thief is stared at the shot and has just been killed.

After staying outside for so long, except for those friends and family, what most missed him was the domestic security environment.

Fefferman Professor laughed.

“This is a good idea, and I believe that there must be this opportunity in the future!”
