The chat with Chen Shihe and Yao Leyi did not last long because they still had group tasks to be busy with and left in a hurry before the graduation and degree awarding ceremony was over.
After finishing, Xu Yun found the people in the dormitory and left school to finish lunch outside.
Qian Yudong, Zhao Yuefeng and Zhou Qi will all leave school during the summer vacation, and Xu Yun will naturally not live alone in the dormitory.
What's more, Wu Zhongping's office is on another campus, so he will definitely go there to ask for advice during the summer vacation.
That night.
Dihaoyuan Community.
In the room, Xu Yun sat in front of the computer screen and opened the webpage to check the status of the paper.
At this time, he had already taken off his academic uniform and was only wearing light-colored shorts and short-sleeved shirts. His hair was still a little wet because he had just taken a shower.
"The review should be completed."
Seeing that the page was being refreshed, he murmured softly and took up the towel around his neck to wipe his hair. According to the previous email from Hofer, the editor-in-chief of the editorial board, the review time of his paper will not be too slow, so he will take time to read it in the past few days.
As the content was displayed the next second, the movements of his hands immediately stopped, and a bit of surprise flashed across his face.
"It's so fast."
He focused his gaze on the screen, and what caught his eye was a string of familiar English words.
"Completed accept"
It means that the editor is very satisfied with the author's manuscript and has decided to accept it.
Soon he seemed to have thought of something again. He held the mouse with his right hand and clicked on the latest issue of the official website of the Annals of Mathematics. He was surprised to find that his paper proving that there are infinite prime numbers in the Fibonacci sequence was on it. That is to say The editorial board of the Annals of Mathematics not only accepted this paper, but also published it directly with this month's journal and did not postpone it to the next issue.
I believe that the original copies of paper journals will arrive at domestic universities soon.
This alone is enough to prove that the editorial board of the Annals of Mathematics attaches great importance to him, and no time was wasted in the process.
Xu Yun then checked his mailbox and found two emails from Princeton. He first opened the email from the Annual Journal of Mathematics, glanced at it briefly, and then closed it again.
Tongti is nothing more than an expression of gratitude for his contribution to the Annual Journal of Mathematics and an explanation of the academic value of this paper.
If it were anyone else, he would definitely be overjoyed, but Xu Yun had heard so many compliments that his ears were almost numb.
Naturally not very interested.
Compared with the evaluation of his paper by the number theory community, he is more concerned about how much scholarship he can get from the school this time.
As for another email from Hofer, the editor-in-chief of the editorial board, he was a little surprised, because the content of the email was to request a manuscript from him.
That's right.
It’s just an appointment.
As the editor-in-chief of the editorial board of the Annual Journal of Mathematics, one of the four top journals in mathematics, it is rare to take the initiative to ask others for manuscripts.
Xu Yun experienced it once.
The content of the manuscript is undoubtedly the topological group theory studied by Xu Yun.
"You actually took the initiative to ask me for a manuscript." Xu Yun held his chin with his left hand and frowned slightly while sliding Hofer's email: "This is a bit difficult!"
He did intend to write a separate paper on topological group theory and contribute to the study of number theory.
However, at the moment, he believes that topological group theory is not yet perfect, and there are still many areas that can be optimized and improved. In this case, he will definitely not send out a semi-finished product.
Wouldn't that be misleading?
He didn't want to bring the entire academic world into trouble when the time came.
Considering that his postgraduate major was about to be on the right track, after thinking about it for a while, he decided to focus on artificial intelligence and machine learning first, and take time to study mathematics-related content.
As the saying goes, you can't become fat by eating one bite.
After confirming that the paper had been successfully published, Xu Yun did not continue his research. He turned off the computer and got up to dry his hair before returning to bed.
…
Due to the distance between China and overseas, after international core journals are published, there is a timeliness in the arrival of paper-based all-English journals in China.
But this does not prevent overseas universities from seeing this paper.
With such a great honor as the prover of the world's most difficult mathematical problem, Hodge's conjecture, Xu Yun is no stranger to scholars in the field of mathematics. However, after reading the contents of the paper, he still cannot control his inner shock. It is impossible to imagine that Xu Yun is not only good at algebraic geometry. In addition, it can also create such great academic value in the field of number theory.
Especially after thinking about Xu Yun's age, I don't know how to evaluate it.
It seems that the two words genius are no longer suitable.
Among them, in the number theory circle, the number of active users on related communication platforms has surged.
Many scholars who like number theory research have spoken highly of Xu Yun's paper, and hope that Xu Yun will publish relevant papers on topological group theory as soon as possible.
"Xu Yun was able to combine topology and sieve methods to this extent and build a bridge to the palace of number theory. I have a hunch that the famous conjecture in number theory will not trouble the mathematics world for too long."
"It's hard to imagine that he was only 20 years old. When I was 20, I was still addicted to bars."
"How can I contact the prover of Hodge's conjecture? I would like to discuss topological group theory with him."
"I hope he can publish relevant papers on topological group theory as soon as possible. I believe this will make progress in conjectures in number theory."
"It's such a shame why this kind of mathematical genius isn't in our country."
…
In the office of the Clay Institute of Mathematics in Cambridge, Minter was browsing comments on a number theory communication platform, and his mood was very complicated.
From the initial doubts about Xu Yun's proof of Hodge's conjecture, to following his mentor to Jingzhou City to exchange research on number theory with Xu Yun, to now Xu Yun proving that there are infinite prime numbers in the Fibonacci sequence, although the whole process is not much. For a long time, the surprise brought to him became bigger and bigger each time.
His field of research is number theory, and after reading the paper, he certainly understood its academic value.
He knew even more clearly that Xu Yun's number theory level was above his.
Although he was reluctant to admit this, there was nothing he could do about it in front of him.
"Solving the Hodge Conjecture."
"Prove that there are infinite prime numbers in the Fibonacci sequence."
"Topological group theory."
"Will you be a miracle in mathematics?"
He lowered his gaze and looked at the screen with a dull look, muttering to himself, looking very out of sorts.
Just when he was a little distracted, he saw a figure walking in quickly from outside, and the sound reached his ears before he saw anyone.
"Have you read this issue of the Annual Journal of Mathematics?" Griffiths held the latest issue in his hand with a smile on his face. He could not hide his excitement after stopping next to Minter: "One of the new Fibonacci numbers exists. The proof method for infinite prime numbers should be of great help to your research."
"I have already seen the teacher." Mingte reluctantly raised his head and answered.
At this time, Griffith also noticed the state of his student, and quickly figured out the reason.
As his face became serious, he said earnestly in the next second: "Xu Yun's mathematical talent is indeed better than yours, but you don't have to compare with him."
"Since your goal is to prove Goldbach's conjecture, you should not be affected by the outside world."
"I believe you have the strength." At the end of the speech, Griffith also understood that Minter needed to step forward himself, so he changed the subject and brought it back to Xu Yun: "I still have to write an email to him. He will publish relevant papers on topological group theory earlier, so think about it yourself."
After saying that, without waiting for Mingte's response, he left in a hurry.
Looking at his teacher's back, Mingte couldn't bear to look away until his body completely disappeared from sight.
Recalling the teacher's words and his efforts in number theory research, his eyes gradually became brighter again, and his whole person regained his previous fighting spirit.
"Goldbach's conjecture, I will definitely prove it before you can."
With these words of self-encouragement coming out of his mouth, he closed the page in front of him and once again devoted himself to his research on Goldbach's conjecture.
…
…
at the same time.
University of California, Santa Barbara.
In the professor's office, Zhang Yitang sat at his desk with a laptop in front of him.
Judging from the picture on the computer screen, a video call is in progress.
If Xu Yun appeared here at this time, then he would definitely recognize the figure in the picture. It was Yugu Cong, the deputy dean of the Department of Mathematics at Teito University who participated in his graduation thesis.
"Old Zhang."
"Have you read the latest issue of the Annals of Mathematics?"
Zhang Yitang frowned slightly when he heard Tang Gucong's words: "Is this what you are calling me to remind me of?"
He graduated from the Department of Mathematics at Teito University in his early years, and then went to study abroad for further study. Although he temporarily stayed at the University of California as a professor, because he and Satoshi Yutani were old acquaintances, he would often chat through video calls to study some problems in number theory.
Today, Satoshi Yutani took the initiative to connect, but as soon as he came up, he was asked if he had read the Annual Journal of Mathematics, which was indeed a bit strange.
However, although he asked a question, he immediately answered truthfully: "This is not your video connection. I haven't had time to watch it yet."
"Then you must take a closer look later. There is an article posted by that kid from Beijing University."
"You mean Xu Yun from Jingzhou University." Zhang Yitang asked.
With an old friend like Yu Gu Cong here, there is no reason why such a mathematical genius should not be often shown off in domestic universities, so he is no stranger to Xu Yun.
But considering that the other party had proved the Hodge conjecture, one of the most difficult problems in mathematics in the world, at such a young age, it was not surprising that he would publish a paper in an annual journal of mathematics in his field of expertise. He could not imagine why Satoshi Yutani made a video specifically mentioning this matter.
"Based on his research on algebraic geometry, it shouldn't be difficult to publish another paper. Is this worth your special visit?"
"You guessed wrong this time."
With a smile on his face and a mysterious face, Yu Gucong first refuted Zhang Yitang's guess through the screen, and then continued.
"His paper this time involves the field of number theory. He used a brand-new method to prove that there are infinite prime numbers in the Fibonacci sequence. I think this will also be very helpful for you to study twin prime numbers."
"The field of number theory?"
"New proof method?"
Zhang Yitang repeated the key words in Tang Gucong's words. He didn't care about the video for the next second, and immediately took out the journal that had just been delivered and looked at it carefully.
