Li Mu's final steps took him less than two minutes.
But the excitement in it made everyone in the audience stunned.
At this moment, they all wanted to ask Li Mu how he came up with the new polynomial he constructed.
Is this really "easy to get" by observing the original formula?
They don't understand.
Originally, they thought that Li Mu would come up with a series of derivation, and finally succeeded in constructing this formula to cancel out other terms in P(n+1).
Instead of like now, it was over before they even reacted.
It wasn't until a while passed that the audience woke up from a dream and applauded warmly.
The applause that deserves it still needs to be given.
And this also means that the Polignac conjecture is the same as the twin prime conjecture - out!
Amidst the applause, Li Mu bowed slightly.
Next, he said: "Next, there will be a 5-minute question time. If there are any problems in the proof, you can ask questions now."
As soon as his words came out, there were so many people in the audience, but not a single hand was raised.
Regarding Li Mu's proof, they either understood it and sighed in their hearts, or they encountered problems at a certain step and were unable to understand it - of course, these problems all stemmed from their own lack of ability.
The questions asked at this time are generally about possible contradictions or disputes in Li Mu's proof.
As for asking questions simply because they don't understand, they are embarrassed.
For a moment, the entire audience looked at me and I looked at you, and seemed a little silent.
Until finally, someone in the first row raised his hand.
It was none other than Qiu Chengtong.
Li Mu looked over and said with a smile: "Professor Qiu, please ask."
There was a staff member nearby who quickly handed Qiu Chengtong a microphone.
Qiu Chengtong stared at Li Mu and asked: "Did you directly see the polynomial you constructed in the end? As you just said, it is easy to construct this formula by observing the original formula."
Li Mu nodded slightly: "Yes."
Qiu Chengtong couldn't help but exclaimed: "Awesome, amazing mathematical intuition."
He shook his head and sat down with emotion.
At this time, everyone in the audience suddenly realized.
Yes, it’s mathematical intuition.
Although mathematics is a subject that requires rigorous reasoning, there are often intuitions in it.
The famous German mathematician Felix Klein, the geometry master who once proposed the Klein bottle, said this: Those who advance mathematics are mainly those with excellent intuition, rather than those with A person who is good at rigorous proof methods.
Hardy also said that he valued creativity from intuition the most because he had worked closely with the famous genius mathematician Ramanujan. As one of the most famous geniuses in the history of mathematics, Ramanujan was famous for his There are nearly 4,000 mathematical formulas created by intuition, and many of these mathematical formulas have been verified by later generations to be correct.
But obviously, only the top mathematical geniuses can possess this kind of mathematical intuition.
Other mathematicians would find their intuition unbelievable and ashamed in the face of such a genius.
And there is no doubt that the current Li Mu has given them this feeling.
The polynomials constructed by intuition, even if they wanted to break through the sky, could not be "easily obtained" like Li Mu's.
For a time, all kinds of uproar and exclamations sounded in the auditorium.
This is the most intuitive feeling that a mathematical genius can bring to people!
At the same time, in the last row.
There are many media reporters here with their cameras set up to record the report.
Among them, Shi Lei was also inside.
He had not listened to Li Mu's report just now, but responded to the questions from their Pu Peng News leader on his mobile phone, because his leader had been asking about the status of his report.
As a private media, they have published a lot of controversial and hot-button news in the past, and many of them have been confirmed to be rumors.
However, these have also become the main reasons for the rapid development of their media.
Therefore, even though they are now under greater pressure from above, they still want to squeeze out the last bit of value from this news.
And this depends on whether Fan Pairen's report can achieve the effect they want.
[Director Liang, please rest assured. I have already emphasized to Fan Pairen that there will definitely be no problem. He is also a university professor after all. Although he is only an associate, it is just a report, so there should not be much of a problem. 】
As soon as he sent this message, he heard an uproar in his ears.
He was stunned, looked up, and saw the scholars talking about something in surprise.
He couldn't help but curiously asked his colleague next to him: "What happened to my brother?"
A reporter from another company nearby replied: "It was Li Mu who proved this Polignac conjecture, and then it seems that he directly proved it using some intuition. These mathematicians were very surprised."
As he said this, the reporter sighed with emotion: "Made, why don't we have this kind of mathematical intuition? Otherwise, I would still be a reporter here? I earn 1,800 yuan a month and laugh all day long. How can I be like others?" At just 20 years old, he is already reporting on such a big event and can have an impact internationally."
Shi Lei was silent for a moment and said: "This is how people are, there is always a gap."
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of the gap between Fan Pairen and Li Mu.
It also made him regret accepting the news even more.
Suddenly, the reporter next to him glanced at Shi Lei again and said, "Hey, you're not the Pu Peng reporter who interviewed Fan Pairen, are you?"
Shi Lei was stunned, "How do you know?"
"Are you serious? I just said that your voice sounds familiar." The reporter next to him moved a few steps to the side in disgust, and at the same time spat: "Damn, bad luck."
Later, the reporter also told other colleagues nearby about Shi Lei's identity.
Everyone else immediately glanced at Shi Lei, with disgust on their faces.
Not all journalists admire colleagues like Shi Lei who are famous for their controversial news.
In their line of work, Shi Lei has become a street rat, hated by everyone.
Seeing this scene, Shi Lei was stunned for a moment, and resentment suddenly arose in his heart.
When today's report is over, as long as Fan Pairen can drag it through, he will still be the star reporter of Pu Peng News.
Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don’t bully...
Suddenly at this moment, someone shouted: "Fan Pairen is missing! He seems to have run away!"
Everyone was stunned and looked at Fan Pairen's position in the first row.
His seat was originally assigned to the seat at the far side of the first row, but now, there is no one in this seat.
At this time, everyone in the audience started talking, and eventually it turned into bursts of laughter, and the entire auditorium was filled with a happy atmosphere.
This fun made them all laugh.
It's just that the fun belongs to others, and Shi Lei only feels that he is out of place.
When he heard the news, he was stunned.
What?
Fan Pairen ran away?
He looked over and almost jumped up from his seat when he saw Fan Pairen who was nowhere to be seen.
Why did this person run away?
What should he do?
He quickly took out his mobile phone and called Fan Pairen, but the call couldn't be reached. It kept prompting that the other party was on a call and please call again later.
He immediately realized that he had been blacklisted.
"Oh shit!"
He wished he could catch Fan Pairen and beat this guy up.
Where does this put him?
Fan Pairen ran away, what else could he do?
At this moment, his phone rang with a message notification again, which was from his boss.
[I'm watching the live broadcast. Did Fan Pairen run away? What happened? 】
Seeing this news, Shi Lei felt a chill in his heart. Was this leader still watching the live broadcast when he kept asking him those things?
He was holding the mobile phone in his hand and didn't know how to reply. In the end, he could only type: [I will go find him now]
Leader: [Go quickly, I can’t find it, just wait! 】
Shi Lei gritted his teeth, then quickly left his seat and ran out.
But except for him, everyone present at the scene showed no concern for Fan Pairen's departure other than laughing. They even thought that this guy knew something.
After all, whether he ran or not was just a matter of fun for them. If he ran, they wouldn't have to read his report later, so as not to waste forty-five meaningless minutes.
In the first row, Yuan Xiang, Lian Zhengxing and the others were also talking.
"When did this man run away?"
They were also curious.
"I do not know."
Everyone else shook their heads.
We were listening to Li Mu's report just now, so who cares about Fan Pairen.
"Didn't the students at the door notice?"
"Let me ask." Lian Zhengxing recruited a student volunteer.
After asking, I found out that when Li Mu was constructing the polynomial just now, Fan Pairen excused himself to go to the bathroom and went out. Of course, the students did not stop him.
At that time, they were all concerned about the last step of Li Mu's proof.
As a result, after so long, Fan Pairen still hadn't come back, and they realized that this man had run away.
"Tsk, just run away." Lian Zhengxing waved his hand: "I'll tell the security department and ask them to keep this person when they see him. After spreading rumors on the Internet, it has brought such a big social impact Influenced, you still want to run away?”
"By the way, let him explain who was helping him behind the scenes."
Others nodded: "Yes, that's what you should do."
A monk who can run away cannot run away from the temple. This Fan Pairen has already entered, and he still wants to run away?
How can it be?
At this time, Qiu Chengtong also temporarily put aside his prejudice against the School of Mathematics of Beijing University and praised: "You, Beijing University, handled the situation well this time. It seems that you can still make normal decisions."
Lian Zhengxing replied: "Do you still need to evaluate this?"
Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel again, Yuan Xiang could only say quickly: "Okay, you two, Li Mu's report will start soon, so let's not talk about it."
Both of them snorted coldly and said no more.
On the rostrum.
Regarding what happened next, Li Mu just smiled indifferently and did not comment.
In fact, he had already discovered it after Fan Pairen left just now.
With the help of his mental computer, he can remember all the people in the seats, and he can also quickly detect when people leave.
But as mentioned before, Fan Pairen has never been a key figure, and there is no key figure.
He just needs to prove himself.
Simply say: "It seems that my report is not that attractive, but that's okay. We still have so many real mathematics scholars here who are still here. I also thank everyone for their support."
"Of course, looking at it this way, I have 45 more minutes, which is more sufficient now. I don't have to worry about not having enough."
Everyone present laughed humorously.
"Then 5 minutes have almost passed. Now let's move on to the next topic, the Hardy-Littlewood conjecture."
Li Mu walked to the small blackboard again.
"Then let's get started."
Immediately, he picked up the blackboard pen and started writing on it.
"Before proving the Hardy-Littlewood conjecture, we first shift our attention from the twin prime conjecture to the prime number theorem."
[π(x)=Li(x)+O(xe^(-c……]
The classic prime number theorem is known to almost everyone in the mathematical community.
"The prime number theorem gives the asymptotic distribution of prime numbers, and the Hardy-Littlewood conjecture gives the asymptotic distribution of twin primes."
"The prime number theorem has been proved, and it is obvious that all twin prime arrays also exist in the asymptotic distribution of the prime number theorem."
"Then what we have to do is very simple, that is, how to extract those non-twin primes."
"Without further ado, let's get started."
Li Mu then wrote a few steps first.
Qiu Chengtong saw it and immediately reacted: "Is this... the theory of disagreement?"
He thought for a moment, and then his eyes lit up, "That's a good idea."
"Let's see how he uses the divergence theory next."
Zhang Yitang on the other side also nodded slightly: "It is indeed a good idea, but it is still a bit difficult to use. Let's see how he handles it."
Many people sitting in the first row also nodded slightly.
They all somewhat understood Li Mu's intentions.
However, it is limited to those sitting in the front row. Their mathematical abilities are among the best in the field, but for most people in the back row, they are completely incomprehensible.
Divergence theory?
Some of them may not even know what the different theories are.
As a result, ninety-nine percent of the people in the audience were at a loss.
As an enhanced version of the twin prime conjecture, the Hardy-Littlewood conjecture is inherently more difficult.
It's not surprising that this happens.
But Li Mu obviously wouldn't give a special explanation to these people who didn't understand.
Mathematics is like this. Those who understand understand enough, and those who don’t understand don’t force it.
Time passed gradually.
And at the same time.
The news of Li Mu's report was not only spread domestically, but also traveled across the ocean and was brought overseas.
The world's mathematical community is once again numb.
It hasn't been long since the twin prime conjecture was proven, and Li Mu is going to prove two other conjectures at the same time in a report?
And... the Polignac conjecture has been proven successful?
They had just finished reading Li Mu's translation of the proof process of the twin prime conjecture, and they hadn't recovered from the shock, and now he was going to do the other two versions?
A generous gift crab!
