Chapter 294 The Recognized Emperor of Mathematics [Subscription Request]

Julian always felt that Deligne's statement was too arbitrary. He firmly believed that Xu Yuan had proved the Riemann hypothesis without any verification, which was obviously not in line with mathematical rigor.

However, in this situation, he did not choose to say more.

He wants to take practical action to find logical loopholes in the paper proving the Riemann hypothesis.

Overturn Xu Yuan's evidence.

Xu Yuan told his mentor Deligne that he was not always able to solve difficult math problems.

that's it.

He didn't delay any longer.

He soon began to work with members of the research team to verify and infer the proof process of the Riemann hypothesis.

It is not an exaggeration to say that this state of concentration and dedication is even stronger than the previous research on the Riemann hypothesis. It is like being given a shot of chicken blood.

But there is no way around it, after all, this is their only chance left.

If this paper cannot be overturned, then the mathematics community will recognize that Xu Yuan has completely solved the Riemann hypothesis. From then on, his position in the field of mathematics will be like that of an emperor, unshakable.

He was admired and studied by later mathematicians.

In addition to being forced to disband their research teams, they will no longer be authorities in mathematics.

Since Deligne had promised Julian, he would not suddenly change his mind halfway.

Moreover, he was very interested in Xu Yuan's process of proving the Riemann hypothesis and couldn't wait to study it.

Speaking of which, he has carefully studied and verified every mathematical paper published by Xu Yuan. It is no exaggeration to say that he is very envious of the novel ideas, methods and thinking used by Xu Yuan.

It was because of this that he knew clearly what level of requirements Xu Yuan had for the paper he wrote.

Since they dared to hold a press conference openly and announce to the world that the Riemann hypothesis has been officially solved.

Even all mathematicians are welcome to verify it.

What does this mean?
This shows that Xu Yuan is confident.

With confidence.

In this case, it is simply impossible to find logical loopholes or errors.

That's why he specifically said that to Julian.

But obviously the other party didn't believe it.

When Hu Lien was studying for his doctorate at Princeton University, he often asked him for advice on mathematical problems.

To some extent, it can be regarded as a teacher-student relationship.

And Julian also has a high talent for mathematics.

At such a young age, he was hired by Princeton University as a professor of mathematics in the Department of Mathematics.

All we can say is that if it weren't for Xu Yuan, he might have grown into a top master of mathematics.

However, compared with Xu Yuan, the difference is still too great.

Deligne can only hope that after realizing Xu Yuan's true mathematical level, Julian will realize his own potential and devote himself to studying mathematics.

……

As some so-called experts had predicted, the mathematics community seemed to be frozen over for the next half month, and international discussions on the Riemann hypothesis suddenly became much less frequent. Even mathematics institutions in various countries fell silent.
Only on the domestic Internet are people still immersed in this joy.

However, most people know that the real storm has not yet arrived.

At present, mathematical institutions in various countries are working overtime to derive and verify the proof process of the Riemann hypothesis, and naturally they have no time to take care of other things.

The real storm will come once various institutions come up with the verification results.

Either the Riemann hypothesis is proved correct, and Xu Yuan completely gets the honor and becomes the emperor of mathematics.

Or it will be disproven.

In the blink of an eye, it is already July.

this day.

In the afternoon, many well-known mathematicians including Deligne gathered in the project room of the joint Riemann hypothesis research team of the Clay Mathematics Institute and the International Mathematical Union.

Let’s wait together for the final verification results.

In order to ensure that the logical loopholes in the proof process can be found, so many well-known mathematicians participated in it, and even supercomputers were used to assist in the calculation. If the final result is not as expected, then everyone will have to accept a fact.

That is Xu Yuan's proof paper, which indeed does not contain any loopholes or errors.

The Riemann hypothesis was actually solved.

"We have done what we should do. Now let's just calm down and wait for the final result."

Behind the crowd, Rothel noticed Wells' expression and thought that the other party was worried about the outcome, so he took the initiative to speak up and comfort him.

Hearing this, Wells just nodded and didn't say much.

It is true that he is worried at the moment, but the situation he is worried about is different from that of other people.

As a professor at the Clay Mathematics Institute, he always hopes to see the world's difficult mathematical problems solved.

Whoever solves these math problems.

So he hoped that Xu Yuan would be successful this time.

Otherwise, it means that the Riemann hypothesis has not been proved yet and still requires the efforts of other mathematicians.

And I don’t know how long this will take.

In this case, it would be better to put all our hopes on Xu Yuan.

Although the waiting time is the slowest, the preliminary verification has already taken them a lot of time, and getting this result today is only the last step, so the efficiency is relatively fast.

Soon, a mathematician's surprised voice was heard, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

"Success."

"Our verification results are out."

As soon as these words came out.

Hu Lien was the first to react. Without waiting for the other party to catch his breath, he asked impatiently:

“Is the conclusion valid?”

As he spoke, he came closer and his eyes were immediately fixed on the result.

The next second, the expression that was originally expectant suddenly dropped, and he kept repeating words in his mouth.

"This is impossible!?"

"How could the result be correct... He really proved the Riemann hypothesis..."

Yes.

The final verification results proved that there were no errors or logical loopholes in Xu Yuan’s paper on the proof process of the Riemann hypothesis, which means that this is a completely correct proof paper.

This marks the complete solution of the Riemann hypothesis, one of the seven most difficult mathematical problems in the world.

Mathematicians such as Terence Tao standing nearby seemed quite calm in the face of such a result, as if in their subconscious, this was a situation with a high probability of occurring.

In addition, Deligne, who was the main verifier of this project, breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the news, and then walked towards Wells.

He raised his hand and patted Hu Lien on the shoulder, then said in the tone of his previous mentor:
"I have said it before, Xu is a mathematician who would never allow loopholes in his papers."

“Whatever he does, he will succeed.”

"You might want to reflect on yourself."

"The Riemann hypothesis can be thoroughly proved, which is at least a good thing for mankind."

After Deligne finished speaking, perhaps he felt ashamed, or he could not accept the result.

He did not respond to Deligne's instructions, but turned and left the room.

Walk outside quickly.

Wells and Rotel didn't pay attention to Julian. They immediately came to Deligne and couldn't help but ask again to confirm.

"Vicomte Deligne, has the Riemann hypothesis really been proved by Xu?"

"Based on the verification results obtained so far, I'm afraid this is indeed the case."

Upon hearing this, Deligne raised his eyes and glanced at the two of them. Without thinking too much, he opened his mouth and gave his answer directly.

As for what Deligne said, everyone undoubtedly believed it.

Although this result was not good for their research team, they had to accept this reality.

"It seems that our research team is no longer necessary."

When everyone heard the words coming out of Rothel's mouth, they felt relatively calm.

After all, there is nothing wrong with this statement. Since the Riemann hypothesis has been completely solved and proved, there is naturally no need for them to continue researching it.

Otherwise it would be a complete waste of time.

"I will personally discuss this matter with Councillor Edan. If you have nothing else to say, you can go back now."

After Rothel finished speaking again, Wells no longer concealed the joy in his heart.

With a cheerful smile on his face, he explained to Rothel, "Whoever proves the world's most difficult mathematical problem will be awarded a prize of up to one million US dollars by our Clay Mathematics Institute. Now that the conclusions of Xu Yuan's paper have been successfully verified, we need to make a public response." His words were full of joy at having his wish fulfilled.

After listening to Wells' words, Rothel naturally understood what he meant.

At this moment, once the Clay Mathematics Institute publishes a paper, it will be equivalent to providing proof for Xu Yuan.

Official label attached.

After all, if everyone has won the prize from the Clay Mathematics Institute, who would dare to say that the Riemann hypothesis has not been solved?

After hearing this, although Rothel's expression became a little uncomfortable, he finally nodded and gave an affirmative answer.

"This is the Clay Mathematics Institute's own business. We in the Mathematics Alliance have no right to interfere."

Wells listened to everything Rothel said, and the smile on his face became even brighter.

Having said that, the matter regarding the Riemann hypothesis has basically come to an end.

In the following time, Wells did not stay for long and hurriedly left to arrange the subsequent work regarding publicity and bonuses.

And it turns out that the Clay Mathematics Institute is very efficient.

Basically, on the same day, the Clay Mathematics Institute officially released a paper to the world.

Congratulations to Xu Yuan and his research team for successfully proving the Riemann hypothesis.

And will receive a prize of one million US dollars.

The academic community was very quiet during this period, but the operation of the Clay Mathematics Institute undoubtedly caused a stir, instantly making the entire network lively again.

Many people admire Xu Yuan more and more.

at the same time.

The mathematics research team led by Professor Yoshiaki Nonaka of the Department of Mathematics at Neon Dongjing University is also studying Xu Yuan's proof paper.

However, just like the research team at the Clay Mathematics Institute, after using several argumentation methods, it was found that the results obtained were all consistent with Xu Yuan's proof of the Riemann hypothesis.

……

"Let's change the argument method. I don't believe that anyone in the world can completely solve the Riemann hypothesis in such a short time." "There must be loopholes in this proof paper."

In the office, Yoshiki Nonaka and several colleagues from the department expressed their views firmly.

In this matter, he is somewhat similar to Julian.

However, after so many days of verification, others have long lost the initial passion.

In response to Nonaka Yoshiki's decision, everyone was silent for a few seconds, and then a man wearing black-framed glasses suddenly spoke.

"Is there a possibility that Xu Jun has indeed proved the Riemann hypothesis?"

"If that's the case, then no matter how many times we verify it, the results won't change."

As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, he was strongly refuted by Yoshikazu Nonaka himself.

"Absolutely impossible."

"The Riemann hypothesis has troubled the mathematical community for more than a hundred years. There are more than a thousand mathematical theories related to it. If it were so easy to solve, it would not exist today."

"Now that no one in the academic community has responded, it means that no one believes the conclusions of the paper are valid."

"As long as we persist, we will definitely find logical loopholes and errors."

As Japan's most famous mathematician, he has tried to study the Riemann hypothesis more than once.

Try to prove this world's most difficult mathematical problem.

So that I can enter the highest hall of mathematics and be forever remembered by human civilization for my contribution to mathematics.

Unfortunately, imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel.

Faced with the Riemann hypothesis, he simply couldn't find any ideas or methods, and he was always in a state of not knowing where to start.

In the end, I wasted my time and had to give up.

This time, after studying Xu Yuan's proof paper, he was immediately attracted by the new methods and formulas in it, and he was envious and admired Xu Yuan's mathematical talent and strength.

At the same time, I was filled with jealousy and hoped to balance my inner state by finding loopholes and errors in the paper.

But just when he thought everyone would be convinced by him and agreed to change to a new argument method to continue verification.

But the other party took out a mobile phone from his pocket, quickly found the page he wanted and handed it to Yoshiki Nonaka.

Don't forget to give friendly reminders.

"Mr. Nonaka, you may not know this, but just now, the Clay Mathematics Institute officially released an announcement, announcing that Xu Yuan, a mathematician from China, successfully led a research team to prove the Riemann hypothesis."

"And we are also planning to award him a bonus of one million US dollars."

"What we are doing now has no meaning. Xu Jun is simply the emperor of mathematics."

“He can do whatever he wants.”

Yoshiki Nonaka was a little bit unconvinced at first, and couldn't imagine that the Clay Mathematics Institute would recognize it so quickly.

But after quickly taking the phone and checking the news, his face instantly darkened.

His eyes were filled with complex emotions.

"The Clay Mathematics Institute really approved it. How is this possible..."

Then, several other professors from the Department of Mathematics also turned around and left after getting their phones back.

Nonaka Yoshikai was left alone to calm down.

All I can say is that mathematicians are different from each other, and you should never use your own level to judge the strength of others, otherwise you will most likely end up in failure.

-

For the entire mathematics community, not many people care about the verification results of the Department of Mathematics at Neon Dongjing University.

It doesn’t matter whether it is announced or not.

While Yoshiki Nonaka was still feeling depressed, the announcement from the Clay Mathematics Institute had already set off a wave of carnival in the mathematics community.

The day.

Followed by.

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, Cambridge University, and many other mathematical research institutions such as India have announced their own verification results and jointly announced that the Riemann hypothesis has been successfully solved.

This can be regarded as the greatest good news in the mathematical world in hundreds of years.

More than a thousand theories related to the key Riemann hypothesis will officially become theorems in the future.

Written on mathematical building materials.

In addition, the proof of the Riemann hypothesis and its impact on various disciplines and technical fields will surely contribute to the development of advanced science and technology.

Even overseas netizens gave Xu Yuan very high praise.

"This is really very good news. The Riemann hypothesis has troubled the mathematical community for so long, and today someone has finally found a way to prove it."

"He is a mathematical giant that we need to look up to."

"A new emperor of mathematics has been born. I sincerely hope that he can go further and further in mathematics."

"With so many authoritative mathematical institutions confirming it, I think this news cannot be false."

"I thought it was another paper that would be falsified, but I didn't expect the Riemann hypothesis to be proven."

"I admire him very much. He must be sent by God to save mathematics."

……

When the news reached back to the country, everyone was filled with joy, relief and pride.

Not too surprised by anything.

Because the moment Xu Yuan published his proof paper, everyone understood that the problem that had plagued the mathematics community for more than a hundred years had been proven, and no one questioned Xu Yuan's mathematical level at all.

As for the verification by overseas mathematical institutions, it is nothing more than a formality. With their strength, there is no possibility of overturning the proof results.

What is the final result?

Didn't it acknowledge that Xu Yuan successfully proved the Riemann hypothesis?

As the topic spread around the world, netizens were recording and publishing verified marriage mathematics institutions, and even deliberately captured overseas users' comments on Xu Yuan and made them into videos.

In addition to having a high number of views, there are also many comments left by people.

"What did I say? You can always trust God Xu."

"I didn't expect that the Clay Mathematics Institute would be the first to make it public. It seems that Academician Xu's paper is really very attractive!"

"That's a paper proving the Riemann hypothesis. Believe me, no mathematician can resist it."

"These overseas users are quite insightful. They know that our Academician Xu is already the recognized emperor in the mathematics community."

"From now on, our mathematics level will be the best in the world."

"America insisted on forming a research team, but now it can only disband in disgrace. You must be completely dumbfounded. Why did they have to compete with Xu Shen in mathematics when there was nothing else they could do?"

“I hope to see changes in certain science and technology soon after the Riemann hypothesis is thoroughly proven.”

……

During this period, Xu Yuan seemed much more relaxed because he no longer had to deal with math.

I will also log in to my account and interact with fans when I have time.

However, after proving the Riemann hypothesis, the School of Mathematics at Qinghua University invited him to give several lectures.

Naturally, it was difficult for him to refuse this.

After all, since he became a professor at Qinghua School of Mathematics, he has not supervised any graduate students or doctoral students except for giving public courses on mathematics. It can be said that the school has given him sufficient free time.

If there happens to be a national key project, I definitely won’t be able to teach the students.

It doesn't matter at this moment.

However, thinking back to the scene in the classroom that day, Xu Yuan could be said to be quite dumbfounded.

The classroom, which could only hold two to three hundred people, was packed full, and the aisles and corridors were also full of people.

There was almost no air circulation.

The hospital was so desperate that it had to urgently dispatch school security personnel to maintain order.

Prevent emergencies.

The most embarrassing thing was that many teachers and professors in the college also signed up for the lecture, and even people from Yenching University got the news and came over.

Mainly because Xu Yuan is now the number one person in the mathematics world, even if well-known overseas mathematicians want to meet him, they basically have to make an appointment in advance. Now that they can attend the lectures for free, no mathematician will refuse.

Of course, the ones who regret the most are the students who are not in school. If they had known that they could attend Xu Yuan’s lectures, they would not have returned home.

Finally, after Xu Yuan finished the lecture, he held a few more lectures at Yenching University for Ma Zhiming's sake.

It wasn't until the last two days that things finally calmed down and I was able to take some time to relax.

2020 7 Month 9 Day.

Thursday.

In the morning, Xu Yuan received a call from Ma Zhiming and came to the School of Mathematics and Systems Science where the Journal of Mathematics is located.

I walked straight into the office and as soon as I saw Ma Zhiming sitting on the chair, I was attracted by the sad expression on his face.

Then he asked with a smile on his face, "What happened to Dean Ma today?"

"You're finally here, come and sit down." Ma Zhiming raised his eyes when he heard it, and when he saw it was Xu Yuan, he quickly stood up and greeted him.

After Xu Yuan sat down on the sofa next to him, he started to talk about business.

"It's all because of the Riemann hypothesis. After the Clay Mathematics Institute officially announced that the conjecture had been proven, we received a large number of exchange applications from overseas mathematics institutions every day."

"I can hardly arrange anything these two days."

Xu Yuan listened to everything Ma Zhiming said and quickly understood what was going on.

Nowadays, many mathematical institutions and universities from all over the world hope to communicate with Chinese mathematicians. It can be said that this is equivalent to domestic mathematicians suddenly becoming popular.

This kind of situation was absolutely unimaginable in the past.

But this also proves that the authority of the domestic mathematics community in the world is constantly improving.

Ma Zhiming can be said to be in both pain and happiness.

And today Ma Zhiming specifically called Xu Yuan over, he must have something else to discuss.

Then he continued talking without leaving anyone in suspense.

"I thought that, taking advantage of the current attention of the mathematics community to proving the Riemann hypothesis, we could simply hold an online academic exchange meeting, and all mathematicians could sign up to participate."

"Of course, as the protagonist, you must show up to calm the situation."

Xu Yuan was quite interested in Ma Zhiming's idea. After thinking about it for a while, he nodded and agreed.

“Online academic exchange meeting… no problem.”

In the past, due to venue issues, mathematics exchange conferences had requirements on the number of mathematicians who could participate.

But this problem no longer exists if it is changed to online.

After all, it is conceivable that if everyone knew that Xu Yuan was going to give a report on proving the Riemann hypothesis, the number of mathematicians interested in it would be a terrifying number.
