It is getting closer and closer to the end of the month. Recently, there has been a sensational major event in the mathematics world. Its influence is not only in the academic world, but even spread beyond the academic world.

In the office of the Institute of Advanced Studies, Hardy, who was sitting in front of the computer and browsing the meeting information, suddenly saw it after seeing the relevant news.

Then he used a surprised voice and almost didn’t shout it out.

“Professor, I heard that GFB Riemann’s Conjecture has been proven?!”

Lu Zhou: “Oh?”

Like the discovery of the new continent, Hardy said excitedly: “I saw it on mathoverflow. It is said that Sir Michael Attiya of the University of Cambridge, England, declared that GFB Riemann’s Conjecture was proved in a very simple way and will be in Heidelberg. Presentation at the winners’ forum.”

Mathoverflow is a well-known network of mathematics community. Many of the giants in mathematics have their own accounts on it. For example, tao god is very active on it. Not only does it update blogs regularly, but it also interacts with visitors frequently.

After hearing Hardy’s words, Lu Zhou laughed, in a joking tone, said no joking.

“If he does complete the proof, he will undoubtedly become the greatest mathematics home of the century.”

Hardy: “Are you optimistic about his proof?”

Lu Zhou did not answer this question directly, but simply expressed his opinion.

“Sir Arthur is a very outstanding Scholar, and is the winner of the Abel Prize and the Fields Prize, but elderly is now 89 years old… a pertinent evaluation, it is difficult to tell the truth.”

In fact, Attiya is definitely not the first Scholar to claim GFB Riemann’s Conjecture.

As far as academics are concerned, probably in the 04 year, the well-known scholar de-branges Professor of the field of number theory also claimed to have solved GFB Riemann’s Conjecture and caused quite a stir at the time, but unfortunately Not recognized by the mathematics community.

If it is a little earlier, even Hardy has declared that he has proved this problem.

Hardy hesitated and continued: “But… he is Sir Attiya, the Abel Prize and the Fields Prize winner. If he is not fully grasped, will he make such a claim?”

Hearing this sentence, Lu Zhou laughed, and Yan Yue said: “My dear Hardy fellow student, if you are going to become a Scholar, then you have to remember that the medal is glory, but only glory. Or change In other words, it is precisely because the mathematics community has awarded him these two honors that he should respond more to the well-founded doubts of the people, rather than treating the people who question him as fools.”

In the face of Hardy’s enquiry, Lu Zhou paused for a moment and continued.

“And compared to GFB Riemann’s Conjecture, I would like to know more about the negative proof that Sir Attiya has a complex structure on the six-dimensional spherical s^6. How is the situation now?”

Hardy: “…6-dimensional spherical s^6 complex structure?”

Lu Zhou nodded: “This is an unsolved famous problem in the k-theory of algebraic topology. Although it is not a thousand problems, it is no less important in the field of algebraic topology. About 16 years, Sir Tias gave this proposition a negative answer, but thesis he took out was not satisfactory. Not only did the true proof process be only half a page, but in the fourth part of thesis he even talked about the history of mathematics…”

For a moment, Lu Zhou shrugged, continued, “At least according to the news on mathoverflow, he has not responded to people’s doubts about him, and the academic community is also skeptical about his thesis.”

Thesis on the six-dimensional spherical s^6 complex structure can be found on arxiv, this is not his letter.

In the case of “solving” a famous problem in k-theory, it took less than two years to solve one of the most important problems in the field of number theory and even the entire mathematics…

Lu Zhou certainly hopes that this is true. After all, the number of dry mathematics is a little heroic.

But for the elderly who are nearly ninety years old…

To be honest, he does not have much hope.

Mathematics is a young subject, and there is no such thing as old-fashioned. Once people are aging, both memory and thinking ability will decline significantly.

Therefore, few mathematics homes can make outstanding achievements in their later years that are not inferior to their young age.

In short, regardless of the final result, elderly is happy…

……

GFB Riemann’s Conjecture is a very interesting topic, but it is not the issue that Lu Zhou is most concerned about at the moment.

After setting a label of interest on the report, he put the focus of his work back on the transmission chain of the fusion light.

The direct design of the imitation star is too large, and the quantum computer is still far away. After considering various factors comprehensively, he finally chose superconducting materials as the next topic.

To be honest, superconducting materials are not simple, but for now, this is the closest topic to his research field.

Frick’s chemistry lab, Lu Zhou met Connie.

Because of the cooperation project with Pablo Herrero Professor, he has basically exchanged visits at MIT over the past six months until he returned last week.

After seeing Connie, Lu Zhou straight to the point asked: “How is the project of superconducting materials going?”

“I can’t give you an accurate result, but in general, it’s still smooth.” He handed a u disk to Lu Zhou’s hand, Connie continued. “I have written a summary report on the relevant research progress. I placed it in the folder that starts with c in the u disk. I originally intended to send it to your mailbox.”

After taking the u disk from his hand, Lu Zhou nodded.

“I know, I will see it later.”

Looking at the serious expression on Lu Zhou’s face, Connie was a little excited: “Professor, are you finally going to take the shot?”

Lu Zhou said shortly: “Well… For various reasons, I have recently shifted the focus of my work from mathematics to superconducting materials.”

As for what it is, he certainly will not say it.

After letting Connie go to his own business, Lu Zhou went to the desk and sat down, plugged the u disk into the computer and opened the report written by Connie.

After half an hour of quick reading of the report, Lu Zhou quickly got a general understanding of the progress of the project.

In short, the Pablo·jarillo-herrero laboratory led by Herero Professor is doing the theory, mainly studying the symmetry, enthalpy energy, nematic phase and so on of this superconducting phase.

The Nanjing Institute of Computational Materials and the Sarrot Laboratory do the application, mainly through a large number of experiments to find a way to maintain this superconductivity under the condition of increasing the concentration of graphene carriers.

It must be said that Pablo Herrero Professor is indeed a big bull in the field of graphene. After receiving the support of 10 million of Star Technology, the research progress can be described by advanced by leaps and bounds.

With the help of these theoretical results, the Nanjing Institute of Computational Materials and the Sarrot Laboratory in the field of application have also made many beautiful phase results.

However, there is still a long way to go from the final result.

Thinking about the images on the computer screen for a moment, Lu Zhou quickly got a clear understanding of what he needed to do.

What he is good at is calculating materials and using the methods of mathematics to find the laws in Material Science.

So for him, the first thing that needs to be done is to build a reliable mathematical model based on the data collected by the three laboratories for nearly a year.

Second, in order to make this project a little faster, he needs more people.

For example, Chiric Professor is a good candidate…
