Chapter 1387 Unbelievably Smooth

Princeton Institute for Advanced Study.

In Professor Fefferman's office.

Looking at Professor Fefferman who was sitting behind the desk and staring at the paper in his hand meticulously, Professor Sanak who came to visit asked curiously.

"What are you looking at?"

The paper in his hand turned a page, Professor Fefferman did not look up, and said casually.

"Stage results of LSPM."

"The phased results of LSPM?" Professor Sanak was taken aback for a moment, and then he felt as if he had been struck by lightning, with a shocked expression on his face, "So fast?! Where did they go?"

Already completely obsessed with the amazing argumentation process, Fefferman had no time to talk to him at this moment, and said casually.

"The printer is right next to it, you can print a copy and see if you know."

Without stopping for a moment, Professor Sanak, who heard this sentence, immediately walked to the side of the printer, operated the printer by himself, and typed out a paper.

Holding the paper that was still smelling of warm ink, Sarnac stared fixedly at it, and spent about an hour quickly scanning the paper.

The moment he finally put down the paper in his hand, his face was filled with a shocked expression.

"Unbelievable..."

"It's almost like—"

"A new mathematical language," Professor Fefferman, who has also finished reading the paper, took a sip of the cold tea and interjected, "Although it is a simple version, it is enough to describe the ABC conjecture The person who came up with this idea is simply a genius, and the person who realized it is even more a devil. It is really unimaginable that such an amazing result was made in two weeks."

"What's even more unimaginable is that they actually chose to upload such an important staged result." Looking at the content of the paper, Professor Sanak couldn't help but said.

The results of this paper are very close to the final proposition of the ABC conjecture. They have refined Baker's theorem to conclude [d

That is, if a+b=c, gcd(a, b)= 1, then max(|a|, |b|, |c|)≤(rad(abc))^2.

How awesome is this weak form?

To put it simply, anyone who has studied number theory can use this weak form to easily prove that the Fermat equation x^n+y^n=z^n does not have n>6 Positive integer solutions, and thus the establishment of Fermat's last theorem!

In other words, if the weak form of the ABC conjecture had been born 20 or 30 years earlier, Wiles might not have had anything to do with it.

It is precisely because of this that, in Sanak's view, this staged achievement is almost only a layer of window paper away from the final answer. As long as it is pierced, the proof of the ABC conjecture is in sight!

"It's nothing," Professor Fefferman smiled noncommittally to Professor Sarnak's statement, "Even if the proof of the ABC conjecture from this weak form is only a final touch, do you think anyone can compare them Kick the ball in faster?"

Hearing this sentence, Professor Sanak was slightly taken aback, and an awkward smile appeared on his face.

"makes sense……"

Professor Lu alone can rule out this possibility, not to mention that in addition to him, this LSPM research group also includes young mathematicians such as Schultz, as well as Perelman and Mochizuki. Such a great man.

If you want to get the answer ahead of these four people, the difficulty will not be easier than proving the ABC conjecture again from scratch, or even worse.

From this point of view, my worries seem to be purely unnecessary.

"I'm looking forward to it more and more now," Professor Fefferman said with a smile, "My intuition tells me that by the end of this month at the latest, we will be able to give a conclusive answer to the ABC conjecture."

"At the end of the month?" Professor Sanak frowned, "But there is only one week left before the end of the month. Although their strength is indeed strong, and this phased achievement is close enough to the final proof, but..."

"Would you like to bet something?"

Professor Sanak coughed dryly.

"This...forget it."

...

The morning of April twenty-ninth.

It has been almost four weeks since the establishment of the ISPM research group.

Opening his eyes from the bedroom, Lu Zhou got up and got out of bed, went to the bathroom to wash up briefly, then finished eating the fried eggs and sandwiches prepared by Xiao Ai, and then went out slowly.

The retreat ended on the 28th, or to be more specific, it was three o'clock yesterday afternoon.

He hasn't had a good rest during this period of time, so he got up a little late today and arrived at the library late at nine o'clock.

When Lu Zhou arrived here, his three teammates had been waiting here for a long time.

"Sorry, I'm late."

"It's okay, we were just guessing whether you would get up in the afternoon, but I didn't expect that you were only an hour late..." Schultz smiled nonchalantly, and joked, "Seriously, would you Go back to sleep for a while? You haven't had much rest these days, anyway, there is only the last step left for our work, and it is okay to finish it one day later or one day earlier."

"Not yet," Lu Zhou said with a smile. "Although this proposal is very tempting, I prefer to enjoy my free time after finishing everything...Let's end it quickly."

three hours.

Everyone reported their own research progress in turn, and wrote the section they were responsible for on the whiteboard.

The fragmented clues are like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle that have been broken up. When they are reassembled, all the clues are connected together.

Looking at the last line on the last whiteboard, Mochizuki Shinichi's face was filled with disbelief.

"I originally thought that so many processes would take at least a few days to run in, but I didn't expect..."

Schultz: "It's surprising that everything went well?"

Mochizuki nodded a little.

"Is such that."

"This is a good thing," Lu Zhou said with a smile, looking at the whiteboard that covered almost the entire wall of the activity room, "It means that we have touched something that is closer to the essence than the ABC conjecture itself. "

Mochizuki frowned, lost in thought.

"Essence... what is that?"

"The essence is naturally the essence. It's hard to describe what it is. Besides, it takes me a while to digest it before I can organize it into language." Having said that, Lu Zhou smiled and continued, "And I I'm sure all four of us felt differently from it."

However, this shouldn't take too long.

Optimistically, he intends to finish the work before going to Mars.

Perelman, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "I can understand what you said... In fact, I also feel the same way."

Schultz nodded.

"It's vague...but it's there."

Mochizuki Shinichi didn't speak, but frowned and fell into deep thought. Although Lu Zhou's statement is very mysterious, subconsciously, he seems to have a similar feeling.

Glancing at the wall clock on the wall next to him, Lu Zhou suggested smiling.

"It's getting late, let's go have a meal first."

When I come back after dinner, I will sort out and publish these things on the whiteboard, and this cooperation will almost come to an end.

"Wait a minute," Schultz raised his hand and suggested with a smile, "This is ABC's guess. In order to commemorate this great and glorious moment, I propose that we sign it together!"

Mochizuki Shinichi hesitated: "Signature? But don't they all have to be erased in the end?"

"Not necessarily," Lu Zhou said with a smile, "I'm sure our dean will be very happy to keep them intact."

Although Perelman is not very interested in such meaningless things, he has no other opinions.

In this way, at the suggestion of Schultz, the four people left their signatures on the whiteboard, and then stood in front of the whiteboard and took a group photo as a souvenir.

After finishing these things, Lu Zhou left the library and went to the cafeteria.

Coincidentally, it was the rush hour for the end of get out of class, and the cafeteria was full of students who had just finished class, so crowded that it was almost impossible to find a place to stay.

I can't find my "special seat" in the corner of the cafeteria, but Lu Zhou is not the kind of picky person. After queuing up for dinner, he just found an empty seat and sat down.

After working all morning, my stomach started growling.

Can't wait to pick up the chopsticks, just when Lu Zhou was about to start eating, he suddenly heard excited discussions from several students sitting next to him.

Student A: "Damn it! Have you read today's news?"

Student B: "Looked at it! It's amazing!!!"

Student C: "What news? What are you talking about?"

Student A: "That prehistoric ruin on Mars! You don't know such a big thing, did you just connect to the Internet?!"

Student C: "I... I just sent my mobile phone for repair, what is it? Prehistoric ruins? Mars?"

Lu Zhou: "...???"

Fuck? ! -
