Today is definitely the most special lecture since the International Congress of Mathematicians.
All the world's authoritative mathematicians in the conference hall ran to the stage, gathered around several writing boards and studied them carefully, appearing to be very obsessed with the numerical formulas on them.
Some mathematicians even squatted on the ground to demonstrate Xu Yun's proof process, regardless of their own image.
His face was full of enthusiasm.
Being able to see famous problems in number theory being solved with your own eyes is definitely extremely lucky for mathematicians.
Although it was hard to believe that Xu Yun could solve the two problems, he could only accept the facts before him.
What's more, they really didn't find the loopholes in the proof process.
"It proves that the process is perfect and clear and can withstand scrutiny. This is by no means something that can be accomplished temporarily." Unable to suppress the excitement and excitement in his heart, Yugu Cong followed the crowd to the stage. While sighing, he cast his eyes on Xu Yun: "Now it's always Can you tell me when you proved Goldbach’s conjecture?”
"It hasn't been long since we perfected topological group theory." Xu Yun answered truthfully on the stage, but did not continue to make excuses.
Tang Yanshan couldn't bear to listen to the conversation between the two, and he felt extremely uncomfortable being gagged.
His field of expertise is not number theory, and the conjecture faced with such a famous problem cannot be judged in a short time.
So I had to take the initiative to guide the topic.
"Lao Tang."
"Did Xu Yun really prove Goldbach's conjecture?"
His voice was trembling when he said this, which was enough to show how excited he was at the moment.
"Although according to the process, it is necessary to wait for the paper to be officially published, and it can only be officially confirmed after a period of demonstration, but judging from Xu Yun's current blackboard writing process, there should be no problem."
"You did have a good student."
Yu Gucong answered Tang Yanshan's inquiry, and did not hide the envy on his face when he said the last sentence.
Yuan Chengming next to him even laughed out loud.
Thinking that there are people in the domestic mathematics community who can solve two world problems, I can't wait to step down and give way to others now.
Hand over the position of chairman of the Mathematical Society to Xu Yun.
"Just look at other people's reactions and you will know. It seems that Xu Yun is really going to be recorded in history this time."
"Mathematics textbooks in the future will require multiple sections of Xu's theory."
Seeing the performance of many mathematicians on the stage, Yuan Chengming said these words in a deep voice and finally turned his attention to Xu Yun.
"I never dared to dream of such a scene before." Tang Yanshan exhaled slowly, then deliberately looked at Xu Yun with a straight face and said: "You kid proved such an important thing as Goldbach's conjecture. They didn’t tell us in advance and let us worry in vain.”
"Don't I want to give you a surprise?" Xu Yun replied with a smile, still maintaining his usual state.
But soon he stopped laughing.
Because in just a few seconds, he was surrounded by many mathematicians on the stage.
"Mr. Xu Yun, on behalf of Harvard University, I would like to invite you to give a lecture."
"Seoul National University can directly hire you as a professor."
"I am Grant, professor of the Department of Mathematics at Oxford University. I wonder if Mr. Xu Yun has time to participate in academic exchanges."
Just when famous universities in the world wanted to invite him to conduct academic exchanges and lectures, Xu Yun suddenly saw a familiar figure. It was Professor Carl of Cambridge University who was the first to give a report.
At the same time, the other party was originally a candidate for the Fields Medal.
"Mr. Xu Yun."
"Your contribution to the world of mathematics has exceeded that of everyone here, and you really deserve the Fields Medal."
“I still have a lot to learn.”
Listening to the other party's extremely serious inner words, Xu Yun was also quite surprised.
I didn’t expect that by simply proving a question, the other person would become a fan.
So he quickly reached out and took it.
"Professor Carl is serious. Your research on singularities and linear systems is also very clever and novel."
And they exchanged a few simple business words.
As for invitations from others, his replies were relatively simple.
To sum it up in two sentences.
Don’t refuse or take a stand.
As people say, it will be done next time.
Although he announced that he had proved Goldbach's conjecture, he still needed to complete the paper.
There is no time to go to various universities to participate in exchange activities.
If I go to every school, I'm afraid my legs will be broken going back and forth, let alone domestic universities.
As soon as they finished dealing with it, Professor Griffith from the Clay Institute of Mathematics and Professor Smith, Secretary General of the International Mathematical Union, came over.
"You gave me another surprise. It's a pity that the Clay Mathematics Institute doesn't have a genius like you."
"As long as you can contribute to the development of mathematics, it doesn't matter where you are." Faced with Griffith's solicitation, Xu Yun answered with a smile on his face.
After speaking, he turned his attention to Professor Smith next to him.
"Secretary-General."
"You are the most gifted young mathematician I have ever seen. I want to transport these proof processes back to the Mathematical Union headquarters for collection. I wonder if Mr. Xu Yun can meet my request?"
Smith talked enthusiastically with Xu Yun, without any pretense of being the Secretary-General of the International Mathematical Union.
The so-called proof process is naturally these writing boards on the stage. The alliance is also surprised to want to collect Xu Yun.
However, he thought that the writing board was provided by the organizer, and it tried to meet his requirements as much as possible.
Plus the secretary-general spoke in person, so it was really hard to disagree.
His thoughts stayed here, and Xu Yun immediately replied generously: "Of course there is no problem, Professor Smith."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Chengming next to him suddenly took over.
"Professor Smith."
"Professor Ohno of Dongjing University openly questioned the Fields Medal. This not only caused trouble to Xu Yun, but also related to the authority of the International Mathematical Union."
"I hope the International Mathematical Union can take certain measures."
Yuan Chengming had long disliked Ohno, and now he would take eye drops if he took the opportunity.
After all, the proof process of the first version of Goldbach's conjecture cannot be taken lightly.
And he didn't want Xu Yun to end up because of this, otherwise even if he could solve the problem, he would inevitably get into trouble.
The Neon Mathematics community is already a member of the International Mathematical Union, so it is only appropriate for the Union to take action.
As Yuan Chengming finished this sentence, before Smith could answer, Griffith also echoed: "This matter is indeed of a bad nature. He also questioned our Clay Mathematics Institute." It can be seen that he He also expressed strong dissatisfaction with Ohno’s series of online operations.
After all, their Clay Mathematics Institute provided Xu Yun with a US$1 million bonus.
To question Xu Yun is to question their institute.
Smith naturally knew the importance of the two sides, and he guaranteed it without much hesitation.
"Do not worry."
“For this pest in the mathematical community, the alliance has the responsibility and obligation to impose penalty limits.”
Xu Yun originally wanted to use Goldbach's conjecture to respond to the other party, but now it seems that it saves him trouble.
In the next moment, Smith ordered someone to take down the writing board with the process of proving Goldbach's conjecture and seal it. The main report meeting was not completely over yet. Many people were still waiting to take the stage. It was certainly impossible for Xu Yun to delay all the follow-up processes. .
Mathematicians in the field also expressed regret for this, and they could only hope that Xu Yun would publish relevant papers as soon as possible.
What was special was that there was a figure in the venue who did not leave his seat. He sat there and looked at the lively stage the whole time.
Only his face looked very complicated.
This figure was none other than Griffith's student Ming Te, whom Xu Yun had communicated with several times.
I recall that I followed my teacher to Jingzhou City. When I first met Xu Yun, the two discussed number theory and mentioned Goldbach's conjecture, a famous problem in number theory.
At that time, he could feel that Xu Yung had just studied number theory not long ago.
It's not like he has been studying Goldbach's conjecture for years.
But the final result is disappointing.
Xu Yun not only proposed topological group theory, but also completed the final proof of Goldbach's conjecture.
On the other hand, he never made any clear progress.
He considered himself a mathematical genius, otherwise he would not have joined the Clay Mathematics Institute at such a young age.
But compared with Xu Yun, his achievements pale in comparison.
There is also a gap between genius and genius.
As a scholar who specializes in studying Goldbach's conjecture, he can see that Xu Yun's proof process is very complete and exquisite. Coupled with the affirmation and high praise of many seniors in the number theory field, it is basically certain that the final step of Goldbach's conjecture has been successfully proved. .
Perhaps due to the huge gap in his heart and dissatisfaction with himself, he finally chose not to go on stage due to confusion in his thoughts.
It wasn't until the tablet with the proof process of Goldbach's conjecture written on it was taken away from the collection of the Mathematics Union that he finally came to his senses and gradually accepted what he saw.
"Is this the difference between me and him?"
I sighed secretly in my heart, and finally shook my head to force myself not to think about it again.
After Xu Yun finished his report, he did not intend to leave. He planned to stay at the venue to listen to the rest of the report.
However, during the meal, mathematicians came over to communicate with him, including Professor Deligne and Witten.
No doubt they also showed great shock and congratulated him on proving Goldbach's conjecture.
The main reason was that they all thought he was going to talk about topological group theory, but in the end, he directly came up with a practical application to solve a famous problem in number theory, which is surprising.
It can be expected that with the establishment of topological group theory, I believe that many people will devote themselves to number theory research in the future.
It will even include a lot of civil science.
After all, using topological group theory to prove Goldbach's conjecture will give everyone hope of solving other number theory problems.
Compared with the commotion in the venue, those who participated in the online conference were completely shocked when they saw Xu Yun's proof process.
I thought it would be a false proof full of loopholes, but in the end I felt like my face was so painful from being slapped.
The key is that they participate in the conference online, and it is more convenient and easier to demonstrate than mathematicians at the venue, and they can even use computer-assisted verification to find errors.
Unfortunately, in the end they discovered that no matter how they verified Xu Yun's proof process, it was valid.
This also means that since Chen Jingrun promoted the progress of Goldbach's conjecture, it has finally been completely proven today.
