[On the third day of the just-concluded Chinese Mathematics Academic Summit, in the morning report, the speaker Li Mu once again completed the proof of the twin prime conjecture in a way that was unexpected by the mathematical community.
Although the completeness of his proof still needs to be reviewed by the mathematical community, Professor Qiu Chengtong, Professor Zhang Yitang and others at the scene said that they had not found any problems in the proof. Li Mu's proof was rigorous and accurate, even if it was put into the entire The mathematics community deserves recognition.
It is reported that Professor Qiu Chengtong is the winner of the Fields Medal. The Fields Medal is the Nobel Prize in mathematics and has a very high status in the international mathematics community. Professor Zhang Yitang made twin prime numbers in 2013. The most important breakthrough in the conjecture is one of the most authoritative experts in the international mathematics community on the twin prime number conjecture.
Both mathematicians have made very high evaluations and believe that in the near future, the twin prime number conjecture will be confirmed to officially withdraw from the stage of mathematical conjecture and become the twin prime number theorem, or Lee's theorem.
In addition, at the end of Li Mu's report, a very interesting thing happened. Li Mu said that he was convinced that he had found a way to prove Polignac's conjecture, but because the blank space on the blackboard was too small, he couldn't write it. So he didn't show his proof.

Hot searches on Weibo fully describe the contents of Li Mu's report, including the high praise of Li Mu's proof by Qiu Chengtong and Zhang Yitang afterwards, and even a video of the entire report process.
It can be said to be very detailed.
Only half an hour after this Weibo post was posted, it has already surpassed many other hot searches in terms of popularity.
Netizens are excited again.
[Twin prime conjecture? Damn it, number theory again? This is really awesome]
[What does it have to do with number theory? Details]
[Didn’t you listen to what Academician Yuan Xiang said at the beginning of the video? Number theory is a game of genius. Every problem in number theory is particularly difficult, such as the hail conjecture and the twin prime conjecture. The description of the problem looks very difficult. It's simple. Any student in our country can understand it, but if you really want to think about how to solve it, you will only find that you have no way to start. Therefore, mathematicians who have made achievements in number theory are very good at it. 】
[I don’t know how powerful it is, but the Shepherd is awesome]
[Indeed, the faun is awesome! 】
[Damn it, the faun can even figure out Polignac’s guess? 】
[God tmd is too small to be written in the blank space! Are you kidding your brothers? 】
[I can imagine how much the mathematicians in the audience wanted to beat him up after hearing this sentence. There are actually some people who dare to teach Ma Ma! 】
[I am a melon eater, what does this mean? Who is Fermat? What's the origin? 】
[Fermat was a mathematician more than 300 years ago and is known as the most awesome amateur mathematician. He once left a question called Fermat’s Last Conjecture in his book, and in the book I wrote this sentence: I am convinced that I have found a wonderful proof, but the space here is too small to write. It’s such an interesting fact in mathematics. 】
[Wow, this really deserves a beating. 】
[Wait a minute, I suddenly discovered something. Fermat was born on August 17th, which means that Fermat’s birthday is two days away. So if you think about it, maybe the faun is using this method. How to commemorate Fermat. 】
[Oops, it seems like that! 】
Suddenly, this netizen's guess was unanimously recognized by people, and a group of people even went to Li Mu's Weibo to ask him if this was his plan.
Until Li Mu learned about this incident, he could only express with laughter and laughter that this was really just a coincidence, and he had no idea that Fermat's birthday was coming soon.
it a accident.
…
Of course, the proof of the twin prime conjecture was not only spread in China, but the entire world of mathematics also learned about it in a short period of time.
This time, the mathematical community can no longer sit still.
Is there such a thing in this world?
A conjecture was solved in the first half of the year, which made the entire mathematical community feel that this year was not in vain, and that their mathematics had taken another important step.
As a result, this important step has just been taken, and they may not have stood up straight yet. Are they about to take the second step?
Suddenly, the entire mathematical community didn't know what to say.
It was really Galen who whispered, silent and breaking his guard.
[Hou Li Crab, why does he always succeed? 】
[Because he is a genius, right? 】
[Although I admit that I am a waste and am still studying rubbish 2×2 operator matrices, but I also want to prove such a world-class conjecture! 】
[That’s very good, but are you a genius? 】
[I told you I’m not, but I just want to! 】
[Then you go and become a genius first. 】
【Fake squid! 】
[Just get used to it. It’s not known to all that Asians are good at math, but now there’s a particularly good one. 】
[Speaking of which, do you know how Li Mu proved it? I can't find his certification process online now? 】
[There is only a Chinese version now, but there are also related videos, but what Li Mu said in the video is also in Chinese. Do you want to watch it? 】
[Please don’t, I have studied Chinese for several months, and that is the experience I least want to think of. 】
[I bought it, please translate it into English for me! I want to see how he proved it! 】
【Then go learn Chinese! 】
【Fake! 】
…
Since Li Mu was giving a report at the Chinese Mathematics Society, there is only a Chinese version of the proof process for the time being, which made the originally silent and defensive mathematics community excited again.
Hurry up and publish the English version of the proof process - it has become the unanimous voice of all foreign mathematicians.
University of Oxford, Department of Mathematics.
In the office of Professor Andrew Wiles.
"Wiles, I heard that Li Mu has enrolled as your student. Why don't you contact Li Mu quickly and ask him to translate the paper? Even if it is sent to arxiv first!"
An old man in his early 60s sat beside the desk, urging Professor Wiles who was studying something at his desk.
This old man's name is Simon Donaldson, a researcher at All Souls College, Oxford University.
All Souls College of Oxford University gathers all the best people from Oxford University. Those who can enter All Souls College have made outstanding achievements in their respective industries.
And this Simon Donaldson, as a Fields Medal winner, naturally became one of them.
It's just that even though he is the best in Oxford, he has to be stumped by Chinese.
No mathematician could reject the proof of the twin prime conjecture, and he was no exception, so he came to Wiles for help.
After all, Li Mu named him to be Wiles's student, so the two must have a good relationship.
However, Professor Wiles didn't even raise his head and said directly: "Then let's learn Chinese."
"God, my dear Sir Wiles, are you sure you are not joking?"
"Of course I'm not kidding, that's my plan."
Wiles showed off what he was working on.
Simon Donaldson took one look and was stunned: "Are you learning Chinese?"
"Yes, after all, my most outstanding student will be a Chinese, and of course I have to learn their language." Andrew Wiles nodded and said with a smile: "When he comes, it will be considered a gift. His surprise.”
Simon Donaldson: "...No wonder he would like to be your student."
