Chapter 862 Confrontation!

Line 11 on page 17? !

Tao Zhexuan froze for a moment.

Not only Tao Terence, Professor Deligne sitting not far away, but also Molina, and even Schultz, who was hiding in a corner and chewing gum, all had a look of surprise on their faces.

"I thought the problem was in the 6th formula in the 5th line on page 21..."

Muttering to himself, Schultz took out the manuscript that he carried with him from his arms, quickly drew a few mathematical symbols that only he could understand on it with a ballpoint pen, and quickly calculated in his mind .

"Line 5 on page 21?" Aksayi Venkatesh, who was sitting with his arms folded, glanced at Schultz sitting next to him, and after thinking for a moment, he said with a strange expression, "I thought it was the first 31 pages and 11 lines of questions."

Like Schultz, this Aksay is also considered a talented player.

In addition to his high academic achievements in the fields of representation theory and number theory, he is also the only Australian who has won medals in both the International Olympic Physics Competition and the International Olympic Mathematical Competition...

Moreover, he was only twelve years old that year.

Hearing this sentence, Schultz took out a stack of crumpled papers from his pocket, turned to page 31, glanced at it, and raised his eyebrows with interest.

"It seems that our Professor Lu is facing more trouble than usual."

Aksayi didn't speak, still folded his arms, but slowly closed his eyes.

Three different scholars found three distinct problems on the same proof.

This is no longer as simple as a problem in the core proof process, but a systematic problem in the entire proof process. It's like a piece of code that is full of problems after running.

Although I feel sorry for this genius who was on the Fields Medal podium with me, there is nothing I can do about it.

People have to pay the price for their youth and arrogance. I hope this battle is only his Leipzig, not Waterloo. After experiencing setbacks, he can create greater glory.

Otherwise, it would be a great loss to the entire mathematical community.

Just when Schultz was still frowning and thinking hard, and Aksay had already determined the outcome of this report meeting, and even started to close his eyes to meditate, in the middle of the auditorium not far away, Xu Chenyang looked dignified Staring at the podium ahead, he also frowned and fell into deep thought.

Seeing Mr. Faltins' question without saying a word, Zhang Shouwu, who was sitting next to Professor Xu, couldn't help but speak.

"Why don't you talk? At this juncture..."

Although Faltings is his mentor, he is a native of Huaguo, and he is naturally on the side of Huaguo's academic circle.

Lu Zhou is not only the pride of Huaguo's academic circles, but also a postcard of Huaguo in the world's academic circles.

If you ask him who he supports, he will definitely support Lu Zhou, even if he is not optimistic that Lu Zhou can win the well-prepared Professor Faltins...

After all, it is far easier to find a logical loophole than to set up an impenetrable net. And it is even more difficult to defuse the opponent's offensive in the short time of a report meeting...

When Wiles proved Fermat's last theorem, it took a full year to remedy the loopholes in the proof and answer the reviewers' questions.

Now half the eyes of the mathematics world are focused on him, and it is far beyond human to be able to think normally, let alone see and dismantle tricks in a clear way...

"Line 11 on page 17?" Flipping through the paper in hand, Lu Zhou found the place where Professor Faltings asked the question, and replied in a calm voice, "This line just uses the Stirling table of the Γ(s) function formula, thus simplifying formula (2) to J(δ)=Σd(k+1)(n)I(n)+Δ(δ)..."

"Of course I know what you said." Interrupting Lu Zhou's speech, Professor Faltins continued slowly, "Using the Stirling expression of the Γ(s) function is indeed a very clever method, which can save A lot of unnecessary troubles, but even if you transform Re(s)=1-c/ln[|Im(s)|+2], it still cannot change the fact that there are no non-trivial zeros in the right area.”

Zhang Shouwu held his breath, Professor Deligne clenched his fists, Schultz stopped the pen in his hand, Tao Zhexuan's eyes gradually became tinged with frenzied excitement, and Molina clenched her lower lip with a complicated expression... …

"See you at Tuqiongdao..."

Xu Chenyang, who was sitting next to Professor Zhang Shouwu, sighed softly.

The vast majority of people sitting here have already guessed what Professor Faltings is going to say next.

As if responding to everyone's expectations, the old man in a black windbreaker and with a round black hat on his right hand spoke slowly in a steady voice and continued.

"No matter how ingenious the hyperelliptic curve you choose, you can't get around this knot."

"The most fatal flaw in your argument is here, so the conclusion of shifting the right boundary from Re(s)=1 to the left to Re(s)=1-ε(ε>0) is naturally impossible to draw... …I emphasized this in my first email to you, but you don't seem to have taken my advice to heart."

There was no sound in the auditorium.

As if a needle fell on the ground, you can hear it carefully.

This question can be said to hit the nail on the head, like a sharp dagger, stabbing straight at the weakness of the whole paper.

The clenched fist was slowly released, and Professor Deligne sighed softly.

Worthy of Faltings.

Although he is not willing to admit it, he is indeed the closest person to Riemann's conjecture after his mentor Grothendieck.

Molina breathed a sigh of relief, but felt sorry for it at the same time.

I was relieved because Lu Zhou still failed in the end. On her way to Mount Everest named Riemann’s conjecture, she lost a strong competitor. As for the regret, it is naturally...

This failure may not only mean that the quasi-Riemann conjecture has returned to the list of conjectures, but also the death penalty for the proof of the critical band...

In front is Grothendieck.

Now it's Professor Lu again.

Countless geniuses have fallen in front of the giant dragon that Riemann guessed...

Is it true, as rumored, that Riemann's conjecture is a knot that can neither be proved nor falsified, as described by Gödel's incomplete theorem, a ghost hovering over the mathematics world...

Thinking of this, Molina couldn't help but panic.

If the answers she seeks were never there in the first place...

So what is the purpose of all her efforts?

At the same time, the other side of the auditorium.

Staring at Lu Zhou who was stopped by Faltings and stood there without saying a word, Schultz suddenly smiled, and said in a voice that only he and Aksay sitting next to him could hear .

"...Aksay, my dear friend, you know? Sometimes I really doubt, it's like a curse. Let's count how many geniuses the Riemann Hypothesis has taken from our mortal world ...Leaving aside, Sir Atiyah must be one of them.”

Aksayi with folded arms shook his head.

"I don't believe there is such a curse."

"That's because you don't understand," Schultz shrugged, the handsome prince of mathematics showed a charming smile, "Have you heard a rumor? It is said that before he ran away from home and lived in seclusion in France, the great The famous Grothendieck 'Pope' was once crazily addicted to the imagination of demons. He believed that the power of demons changed the beautiful speed of light that should have been 300,000 kilometers per second into an ugly 299,792.458 kilometers per second. It is also the power of the devil that makes the mysterious quantum ghost linger in the supposedly pure Riemann conjecture..."

Aksayi felt a little uncomfortable, and tried to end the topic.

"...Okay, stop talking."

Obviously not paying attention to Akesay's reminder, Schultz smiled and continued.

"...It is said that before Grothendieck disappeared from people's sight, even before Weil's conjecture was proved, our Pope was pursuing the way out of Riemann's conjecture. And in 2010, the missing number After ten years, he suddenly wrote a letter to his students, guess what was written in the letter?"

Although he didn't really want to listen to such speculative things, Aksay still couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart and couldn't help asking.

"What did you write..."

After spitting out the gum on the wrapping paper and folding it, the handsome professor spoke in a tone like a bard.

"His Majesty the Pope wrote in the letter that whoever can take the crown named Riemann's conjecture from the hands of the devil will have the hope of completing a great cause that no one has accomplished for thousands of years..."

After a pause, he continued.

"That is, Unify Algebra, and Geometry!"

...

Standing quietly on the stage.

Just stood there for a long time.

Just when Faltings even began to reflect on whether he had done too much to prevent the young scholar from stepping down, Lu Zhou, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke.

"You are asking such a question because you have not penetrated to the core of my proof process at all."

The voice fell.

There were bursts of commotion in the auditorium.

Surprised, surprised, even... sullen!

Feeling these brewing emotions, Lu Zhou took a deep breath of the turbid air, opened his eyes and looked at Professor Faltings standing there.

Seeing the unbelievable surprise on the old man's face, he sighed slightly and said.

"I'm sorry, my words may have offended me."

"But after hearing your question, I finally understand where our differences lie."

He originally thought that his expression was not clear enough.

But it now appears that the real reason is not the case.

The disputes between the two sides seem to converge in an irresolvable deadlock, but in fact they are two irrelevant parallel lines.

It's an amazing feeling.

It's even surprising.

But after posting all this, all doubts disappeared like clouds in the eyes...

Thinking of this, Lu Zhou sighed again in his heart.

It seems that there is probably only one person in the world who has really penetrated into the core part of that thesis.

And that person is not here at the moment.

"I'll prove it to you."

After that, Lu Zhou turned around and faced the whiteboard.

"You probably remember the things on the whiteboard, so I erased them..."

After wiping the whiteboard clean, Lu Zhou picked up the marker again.

"First of all, let me thank my student for putting this together for me. I didn't realize it was an amazing job until today, and I haven't had time to say thank you to her."

After a pause, Lu Zhou turned his head and looked at Professor Faltins, whose expression was getting serious.

Then, he looked past the old man and the crowded lecture hall behind the old man, as if looking at a void that no one had ever seen before.

"So, let's start with the most basic part... or, in other words, the tool part of the whole paper."

After finishing speaking, he picked up his pen and wrote a line of neat handwriting on the whiteboard.

【Super elliptic curve analysis method! 】

At the moment when this line of words was written.

Or, at the moment when he said "start with the basics" that sounded like "provocation".

The atmosphere in the entire lecture hall exploded in an instant!
