Chapter 1118 I Will Prove It Here

The gate of Jinling University.

Seeing the streets full of people coming and going, and the energetic young face, the gray-haired old man suddenly let out a sigh of emotion.

"What a difference."

This old man is none other than someone else.

It is Mr. Qiu Chengtong, a tenured professor at Harvard University and the founder of the Qiu Chengtong Mathematical Science Center at Shuimu University.

As for the one standing next to him, it is Academician Xiang Huanan of the Huaguo Academy of Sciences.

Although he doesn't come here often, but because he is often in China, he can often hear about the affairs of Jinling University.

Hearing Mr. Qiu's sigh, he said with a smile while standing beside him.

"The changes here are quite big. Five years ago, they were still competing with Zhendan for the top five and Southeast for orthodoxy. Now they are faintly standing at the top position in the country. Speaking of this, it is thanks to Academician Lu. Whenever he talked about this matter with his old friends from Aurora University, he always looked envious, complaining that Aurora didn’t produce such a talent.”

"Especially in the past few years, Jinling University has been carrying out educational reforms. With the support of Academician Lu, it has been successful in all aspects. Especially the academic talent training plan for undergraduates that he set up when he first came back from Princeton, has now been completed. It has become a model for the pilot reform of higher education in the country, and has achieved good results in many 985 colleges and universities, and it is said that it plans to promote it nationwide in the future.”

Hearing what Academician Xiang said, Mr. Qiu smiled and said with emotion.

"If you want to seek educational progress, what you need is a top-down change from enlightenment education to higher education, and it is not enough to rely on a great man or a few universities."

After a pause, there was a hint of relief in his smile, and he continued.

"But after seeing these, I feel that I can look forward to it in the future."

There are so many insightful people who have devoted themselves to this cause.

Presumably, the day that all the sons and daughters of China are looking forward to will not be too far away.

Academician Xiang said with a smile: "Let's not stand at the door, I'm afraid Old Xu will be waiting in a hurry."

"That's right," Old Mr. Qiu nodded, looked at Academician Xiang and said, "I'll trouble you to introduce me later, I don't know him very well."

Academician Xiang said with a smile.

"Don't worry, I won't forget about it."

"Besides, he has been looking forward to your visit for a long time!"

...

Since Lu Zhou's paper was uploaded to Arxiv, the atmosphere at Jinling University these days has become rather unusual.

Out of concern for the future of the mathematical community, the eyes of the world are focused here.

For a moment, King University seemed to be the center of the world. No matter whether they were studying mathematics or not, or even whether they were in academia or not, they were all paying attention to the progress of this report meeting.

As the president of Jinling University, President Xu can be said to be in pain and happiness now.

On the one hand, he was very busy preparing for the report meeting, and on the other hand, he was delighted from ear to ear because of the huge influence that this report meeting would bring to Jin Da.

Although similar reports have been held before, even if they are all added up, I am afraid that they cannot be compared with this one.

As for the reason...

That is the theme of this report, not to solve the unsolved mysteries left by the predecessors, but to redefine mathematics, and even the future of the world.

Time passed day by day, and finally came the day when the report meeting officially started.

Scholars from all over the world gathered in the auditorium of the new campus of Jinling University.

Originally, this kind of report meeting should be held in the auditorium of the old campus, which is more memorable and rich in history. However, considering that the number of participants has exceeded the limit that the old auditorium can accommodate, the report meeting The venue was finally determined to be in the gymnasium of the new campus.

All the preparations were done, and Lu Zhou, dressed in formal attire, walked to the podium directly in front of the venue.

Standing on the stage and looking down at the crowd, he couldn't help feeling a burst of emotion in his heart.

From the professors of the Department of Mathematics of Jinling University to his old friends in Princeton, a pair of familiar faces are all gathered in the audience at this moment, waiting for him to speak.

To be honest, he can't remember exactly how many lectures he has held.

But there is no doubt that this is probably the most important one.

If there is no accident, it will also be his last game in the field of mathematics...

He reached out and straightened the microphone.

Almost the moment his hand touched the microphone, the entire empty gymnasium fell silent in an instant.

No one maintains discipline.

No one reminded the attendees to keep quiet.

As if dominated by a special tacit understanding, everyone was quietly waiting for him to speak.

After brewing for about two or three seconds, Lu Zhou cleared his throat and read the opening words.

"...Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules and coming here from all over the world."

"I am also very grateful to the teachers of Jinling University for their support. The preparation of this report took up many people's precious time and energy."

"I believe that you are not here to listen to my greetings. Then, let's get straight to the point."

After that, Lu Zhou turned around, raised the laser pointer in his hand and pressed it against the curtain.

The PPT began to turn to the second page, and the abstract of the thesis was soon presented in front of everyone.

Facing the empty whiteboard, Lu Zhou raised the marker pen in his hand, and began to write seriously while explaining his understanding of the Grand Unification Theory.

Everyone in the audience listened and watched very seriously.

In order to see each letter he wrote more clearly, the audience in the back row even brought binoculars to the scene, stretching their necks and looking forward.

Time passed by every minute and every second.

Before I knew it, an hour had passed.

However, immersed in that line of exquisite algorithms, almost no one notices that time is passing.

In this way, this tacit understanding lasted for three hours, until his arms and neck began to feel sore, and Lu Zhou, who was writing and talking, finally stopped the pen in his hand.

In front of him, there were already eight whiteboards.

And every whiteboard is filled with neat handwriting and operators...

"This is the end of the argument for the grand unified theory."

Hearing the commotion gradually spreading from behind, he turned to face the venue, and continued in a calm voice.

"I believe that even though I have said so much, at least half of the people at the scene must not understand, or they are still confused."

"The above content is just a review of the thesis. I will spend at least one hour at the end of the report meeting to answer all the questions."

"And now, I will demonstrate the application of grand unified theory."

"As we often say, conjecture is the touchstone of mathematical methods. Whether a tool is great or not depends on what kind of problems it can be used to solve."

"Due to time constraints, I will only give one example."

"I hope you will pay attention."

After that, Lu Zhou turned around, and the marker pen in his hand was printed on the whiteboard again.

This time—

It is the ninth whiteboard.

Sitting under the stage, Qiu Chengtong frowned slightly, not quite understanding what he was going to do.

The same is true for Professor Faltings, looking at Lu Zhou's movements in confusion.

However, the confusion did not last long.

When he just wrote the first three words, his pupils shrank suddenly.

"...Biao, the standard conjecture?!"

With eyes also wide open, Professor Deligne almost stood up from his chair.

Standard guess!

One of the most important propositions in algebraic geometry, formulated by Grothendieck!

Although it is not a millennium problem, nor is it included in Hilbert's 23 questions, its significance is greater than both!

The reason why it was not nominated is simply because the vast majority of people do not think it is a proposition that can be solved in this century, but should be considered in the next century.

It wasn't just Faltings and Professor Deligne who were stunned, almost all the scholars in the audience were stunned because of Lu Zhou's sudden move.

What does it mean to demonstrate the application of grand unified theories?

Why is the standard conjecture mentioned here?

What on earth does he want to do?

Could it be...

Almost everyone guessed what Lu Zhou was going to do standing there.

It's just that almost everyone can't believe that he can do it here.

Without paying attention to the thoughts of the audience in the venue, Lu Zhou took his time and wrote down the proposition that has troubled the mathematics world for half a world, and would continue to trouble him without him, on the whiteboard. .

【...Each Motive should have a direct sum decomposition, and through the direct sum term of this decomposition, the cohomology of all orders of the given space can be realized. 】

The pen in my hand stopped.

Turning to face the venue, Lu Zhou's expression was calm, as if he was telling a very ordinary thing, he spoke slowly.

"I believe anyone who is engaged in research in this field will be familiar with the propositions on the whiteboard."

"I will prove or disprove it."

"right here."

The moment the voice fell.

The entire venue was like a pot of oil that was already hot, and a torch was thrown into it, and it burned instantly!
