Chapter 243: The Mathematics World is in a State of Turmoil
As Xu Yuan wrote the words "Certification completed", he naturally lowered his arms and fully displayed the writing board in the live broadcast room. The audience gathered in the live broadcast room were a little unbelieving at first, but then quickly fell into a carnival and sent barrages of comments, completely igniting the emotions that had accumulated for a whole night.
Being able to see Xu Yuan prove the Hodge conjecture with my own eyes is like witnessing the birth of a new milestone in the history of mathematics.
"Is this a success?"
“It only took one night to actually prove the Hodge conjecture.”
"That's awesome."
"We witnessed history."
"Xu Shen!"
"Although I couldn't understand a single symbol, it didn't stop me from being excited. This night was not wasted."
"My mom asked me why I was kneeling on the chair."
"Can anyone tell me whether the Hodge conjecture has really been proven, and whether the conclusion given by Master Xu is valid?"
……
While many netizens were excited about this, there was still only one question left in their minds.
That is whether Xu Yuan's proof process is valid.
After all, solving a world-wide mathematical problem like the Hodge conjecture is not something that can be solved by simply writing down the steps.
The logic must be self-consistent and there must not be any loopholes.
Otherwise, even if he announced that he had solved the Hodge conjecture, it would be falsified by other mathematicians.
The conclusion is not recognized by the mathematical community.
But the key point is that most people can't even understand it.
How to judge whether the conclusion is valid?
In the end, only a few mathematicians who were watching the live broadcast gave simple answers through barrage comments.
"Professor Xu's proof method and ideas are indeed very clever and novel. Through multiple mathematical methods and Abelian categories, he successfully created an important condition, which established a connection between algebraic geometry and topology to a certain extent."
"As to whether this condition is true, I'm afraid it will require the joint demonstration of the world's mathematical masters."
"But there is no doubt that Professor Xu's proof process has brought a feast to the entire mathematics community."
"Besides, I personally believe in Professor Xu. I believe that Professor Xu's conclusion in proving the Hodge conjecture is valid."
"The above is just my personal opinion, please feel free to criticize and correct me."
The sudden appearance of this kind of barrage that was out of tune with the others made other netizens a little stunned at first.
Then he praised him generously.
"You are too modest."
“I just said there’s a big guy in the live broadcast room.”
"Fuck."
"Just believe in Master Xu and that's it. Don't forget that Master Xu's mathematical papers have never been disproven."
"I agree with what the boss said. Regardless of whether the conclusion is valid or not, the proof process will be discussed by mathematicians all over the world."
"Although Professor Xu has not appeared in the mathematics community for a few years, please don't forget that the person in front of you is the youngest Fields Medal winner in history."
"Everyone, go and spread the word and increase the popularity of Xu Shen, especially let the overseas mathematics community know about it."
……
Xu Yuan worked all night to deduce and successfully complete the proof. After he came out of the deep learning state and relaxed his mind, he was immediately swept by a feeling of exhaustion. He felt tired and hungry, so there was naturally no need for live broadcast.
Therefore, he naturally had no mood to check the barrage, and immediately walked over to close the live broadcast room.
However, it is worth mentioning that before turning off the show, he said one more thing, mentioning that the detailed and complete paper will be published in the Journal of Mathematics later.
Even though he hasn't written anything yet.
After all, writing mathematical papers is his strong point, and the entire proof process has been perfected.
If you start writing right away, it won’t take long to finish and publish.
By then, the Journal of Mathematics will surely become the most popular journal among mathematicians in the mathematics community.
If you want to study his proof process, you must subscribe to the latest issue of the Journal of Mathematics.
The proof process he wrote out during the live broadcast only contained complete steps, and its complexity was so great that it was difficult for ordinary mathematicians to understand.
Not to mention understanding.
But the detailed essay is a completely different story.
As for the writing boards in the discussion room filled with proof steps, they are temporarily sealed here.
When we hold academic exchange conferences in the future, these writing boards will be great exhibition items.
It is of great significance to the mathematical community.
Although it was only eight o'clock in the morning, it was still a commute for the news media staff.
But the news that Xu Yuan proved the Hodge conjecture has spread throughout the entire Internet.
Related hot searches firmly occupy the top spot on all platforms.
Besides.
Official media such as China Central Television's Huaxin News Agency also issued press releases announcing that Xu Yuan had proved the Hodge conjecture.
This is enough to show his trust in Xu Yuan.
You should know that Xu Yuan has just written out the proof process of the Hodge conjecture, and whether the conclusion is valid still needs to be proven.
If we publicly support Xu Yuan at this time, it will undoubtedly be questioned by some netizens or scholars if Xu Yuan's conclusion is later disproven and overturned.
To carry out publicity now can only mean that the company has enough trust in Xu Yuan.
I believe that the proof process published by Xu Yuan is certainly reliable and has indeed solved the Hodge conjecture.
When Xu Yuan was broadcasting live, the overseas mathematics community had already received relevant information, and not satisfied with the live videos, they even tried to find ways to watch the live broadcast in China.
Therefore, the news that Xu Yuan had completed the proof quickly spread throughout the international mathematics community. Everyone had only one thought left.
That is to quickly verify Xu Yuan's proof process and confirm whether the Hodge conjecture has really been solved.
……
At the same time, it was already past nine o'clock in Seoul. As many mathematicians entered the convention center, the opening ceremony of this International Congress of Mathematicians officially began.
Similar to previous mathematicians' congresses, the relevant processes are basically fixed.
After the conference organizer and President of the International Mathematical Union came on stage and delivered his speech.
Soon it was time for the highlight of the opening ceremony.
Announcement of the Fields Medal winners.
After the host finished his lines and invited the President of the International Mathematical Union to come on stage to announce the list, Rotter, wearing a suit, walked to the podium.
“It is an honor to be here today to announce the list of this year’s Fields Medal winners.”
"A total of four mathematicians won the Fields Medal this year."
"They are……"
As the words fell, the personal information of several mathematicians suddenly appeared on the large screen behind him.
Naturally, there was thunderous applause at the scene.
Although I didn't win the award, I am still happy for the winner in this situation.
But just when half a minute passed and the applause in the venue stopped.
But suddenly there was a cry of surprise.
It stands out in the huge venue.
"Oh my god, the Hodge conjecture has been proven. This is really exciting news."
It turned out that a mathematician at the scene learned the news and found out that Xu Yuan had proved the Hodge conjecture.
For mathematicians, this is certainly a much greater surprise than the Fields Medal.
So much so that I couldn't control my emotions well.
I couldn't help but shout out loud.
And this sentence is not the end, but a beginning.
Because soon after he finished speaking, someone else exclaimed, and some even stood up excitedly.
Patting his thigh.
"It's true. Just now, Xu completed the proof of Hodge's conjecture."
"My goodness!"
"Xu actually did it."
“This will be the hottest thing in mathematics in the future.”
"We must quickly start the argument to determine whether the conclusion is valid."
Ma Zhiming, who was sitting in the crowd, was surprised at first when he saw the scene, and then a proud smile appeared on his face.
They have also received news that Xu Yuan has completed the proof of Hodge's conjecture.
He was so excited that he couldn't wait to go back and study Xu Yuan's proof process.
It was just that it was the opening ceremony of the International Congress of Mathematicians, so out of courtesy he suppressed his joy and did not show it in public.
Unexpectedly, Xu Yuan's proof of the Hodge conjecture made overseas mathematicians unable to control themselves.
But the person who had the most complicated feelings at the moment must be Rotter, the president of the International Mathematical Union, who was standing on the stage. He hadn't even figured out what had happened.
Because of his identity and position, he always pays close attention to every International Congress of Mathematicians.
In order to ensure that the conference can be held smoothly and concluded successfully, I naturally have no time to pay attention to things on the Internet.
Who would have thought that Xu Yuan successfully completed the entire proof process of Hodge's conjecture at this time.
Fortunately, his assistant saw this situation and quickly walked up to the podium and told Rothel the information he had just learned.
"Mr. Rotel."
"Just now, Xu Yuan completed all the steps to prove the Hodge conjecture. The news has become a hot topic on the Internet."
"I understand." Hearing this, Rotel waved his hand and asked the other party to go down.
After learning the actual situation, he really didn't know what to say and had to solve the current problem first.
Logically speaking, the proof of the Hodge conjecture should be a good thing that should make the entire mathematical community happy.
As a result, it stole the limelight from the International Congress of Mathematicians.
Although the enthusiasm of the opening ceremony of the International Congress of Mathematicians was barely maintained in the following period, most people's minds were no longer on it.
I just wanted the conference to end quickly so that I could go back and verify Xu Yuan's proof process.
At present, Xu Yuan is the first mathematician in the mathematics community to publicly announce the proof of the Hodge conjecture.
If someone can announce the result of the argument first, whether it is falsification or support for Xu Yuan, it will surely attract considerable attention in the mathematics community.
Rothel was also very clear about what the mathematician was thinking and was estimating the next report meeting.
I'm afraid not many people will attend.
After all, the important thing is to prove the process of proving the Hodge conjecture.
In desperation, he finally had to announce that he would hold a special discussion meeting for the Hodge conjecture.
Mathematicians who are interested in the Hodge conjecture gathered together to discuss the proof process of the Hodge conjecture. Once this news was announced, it quickly attracted the support of many mathematicians.
After all, when it comes to proving the Hodge conjecture, it would undoubtedly be very difficult to prove it alone.
