Chapter 865 The Pickaxe for the Nuggets

While Lu Zhou and his little apprentice were happily having dinner together, they didn't know that the auditorium next door was in chaos.

I saw those scholars who are usually very gentle and personable, now they flocked to the front of the auditorium like sharks smelling fishy.

Even if these people accounted for only half of all the participants, it was still a huge number.

After discovering that the situation was getting out of control, in order to avoid the stampede, Dean Qin had no choice but to seek help from those responsible for the on-site security work.

These people are not employees of the school, they are said to be dispatched from some security department.

With the appearance of these people, the situation at the scene was quickly brought under control.

Immediately afterwards, Dean Qin squeezed into the crowd with a group of staff in security uniforms, and "stolen" the whiteboard full of calculations from the hands of the scholars.

Seeing that the whiteboard was finally kept intact, Dean Qin was relieved.

He was not worried about who would be trampled by the mathematicians in the audience. Anyway, except for a few big names in domestic academic circles, he was not very familiar with others.

But this whiteboard is a cultural relic. If it is damaged or the words on it are blurred, the Jindashu Institute will suffer a great loss...

...

It was less than ten minutes after the end of the report meeting.

The discussion on this report meeting on the Mathoverflow forum has become very popular.

And what pushed the topic to a new level was an update from Tarry Tao.

[This is the most exciting report meeting I have heard in three years... The last time was at the International Congress of Mathematicians. It is a great honor to witness the proof of the quasi-Riemann conjecture, and we are one step closer to the crown:)]

I remember that the last time Professor Tao updated his status was when the thesis just came out two weeks ago.

At that time, he expressed doubts about some of the steps in the thesis and needed a certain amount of time to think about it, but there was no follow-up. This also made those who were waiting for Professor Tao to express their views on Professor Lu's proof really waited for a long time.

Now this trend suddenly appeared in people's sight, and immediately triggered a surprising amount of topics on Mathoverflow.

【Professor Tao means...Professor Lu's proof is correct? 】

[Wait, Professor Tao is supposed to be at the Jinling University's report meeting now, so... Did Professor Faltings admit it? 】

【This is impossible! Anyone who has dealt with that old Germanic man knows how arrogant and stubborn he is. 】

[Not necessarily impossible, his arrogance and stubbornness come from his academic achievements and his seriousness and responsibility for academic issues. Do you think your academic attainments are worthy of his attitude towards you? 】

[Can Professor Lu do it? You also saw that paper, which is obviously controversial! 】

【Is anyone there? People at the scene squeak! I just want to know what happened now? 】

This sentence expresses the feelings of many people at this moment.

For those who do not expect to challenge the Riemann Hypothesis, what they care about is not the academic details like a bible, but whether the quasi-Riemann Hypothesis has been solved? Who will win the "peak showdown" between Professor Faltings and Professor Lu, two top scholars standing at the top of the pyramid in the mathematics world?

Fortunately, they didn't have to wait long.

Almost five minutes after Terence Tao's update, many scholars who left the report meeting posted the photos they took on the spot to their blogs, Facebook, and forums.

And just 30 minutes after the end of the report, someone uploaded the recorded video to youtube, and shared the link to the Mathoverflow forum of per capita mathematicians.

And almost at the moment when the video was uploaded, the topic of quasi-Riemann conjecture in the entire forum was once again pushed to a new peak!

Especially for Professor Faltings' last sentence "You are right", many people's eyes almost popped out of shock.

【Professor Faltins... admit defeat? 】

[What is admitting defeat? Academic debate is not a tug-of-war...but this is really incredible. Even if Professor Lu's arguments make him unable to find any faults, it will not be so impeccable that Professor Faltings admits that he is right on the spot. ? 】

[It makes sense, unless there is a possibility... The mathematical tool that Professor Lu introduced at the end is so perfect that he cannot make a negative judgment. The direction of my research is not algebraic geometry, as far as people who know this field can tell me, what exactly is the hyperelliptic curve analysis method? 】

【In any case, an era is over, and a new era has begun. 】

[God Lu is awesome! 】

Just as the popularity of related topics continued to rise, a master who was engaged in the research of algebraic geometry suddenly posted a post.

[I don’t know if you have noticed, but the mathematical tool called “Hyperelliptic Curve Analysis” created by Professor Lu when he proved the Quasi-Riemann Hypothesis seems interesting. Proving the existence of ε is not its ultimate conclusion, this infinitely small value can be further enlarged! 】

Surprisingly, when this post came out, it should have raised the heat of the discussion to a higher level, but instead it made the topic on Mathoverflow cool down a lot.

However, if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to understand why it has become like this.

As clearer videos continue to be released, the core of this great mathematical tool, hyperelliptic curve analysis, is revealed little by little. Scholars who pay attention to it finally begin to understand why Professor Faltings is so easy to convince , At the same time, they finally discovered that a huge golden mountain was in front of all of them.

The value of ε can be further enlarged!

There is still room for further digging in the proof of the critical band!

Hyperelliptic curve analysis is like a gold mining pick.

At this moment, Professor Lu not only made the pick sharp enough for them, but also sent it to all of them.

If you can't even grasp the opportunity presented to you, then as a scholar, you will fail too badly...

...

【congratulations! The report will be a success~]

Sitting in the lounge drinking tea, watching the text message sent by his senior, Lu Zhou smiled and poked his thumb on the screen to reply.

【thanks. 】

Noticing the smile on Lu Zhou's side face, Han Mengqi asked curiously.

"Who are you chatting with?"

Lu Zhou replied casually.

"Your sister."

"Oh," answered the protracted voice, Han Mengqi stuffed her packing box into a plastic bag, and put away Lu Zhou's share, "I'll throw it away for you."

Hearing this sentence, Lu Zhou did not refuse, and decisively handed over the plastic bag.

"sorry to bother you!"

Turning her back to Lu Zhou, she stuck out her tongue, and for some reason, Han Mengqi walked away with a plastic bag in a sullen mood.

Coincidentally, just as she opened the door, Dean Qin was walking in from the outside.

Seeing the dean, Han Mengqi greeted politely and gave up her seat at the door.

"Hi Dean!"

"Hello, hello," Dean Qin looked at her and nodded with a smile, then looked past the student and looked at Lu Zhou who was sitting at the long table and looking towards him.

With an expression of finally finding it, he stepped forward and asked with a smile.

"Why are you here? I've been looking for you for a long time."

Lu Zhou: "It's raining heavily outside, so I'm eating here...do you have anything to do with me?"

Dean Qin: "The school committee booked a group buffet at noon in a five-star hotel off campus, but something happened to the organization work, and the notification has not come down until now. Our secretary just called to inform me, and I have been in a hurry You rushed over, but who would have thought that you moved so fast, you have already finished eating."

Lu Zhou smiled and said.

"Isn't this just right? It just so happens that I don't have much interest in banquets, so you can forget about it for me."

"I knew you would say that," Dean Qin sighed, "but you should go to the banquet tonight, after all, at least half of these scholars are here for you, we still have to show our friendship as landlords .”

Lu Zhou: "Okay, I will go tonight... By the way, where is the whiteboard?"

"I put it away for you, why? Do you still want to take it home?"

Seeing Dean Qin's nervous expression, Lu Zhou froze for a moment, and gave him a strange look.

"It's not enough to take it back... But I'm useful. The calculations above are written on the blackboard temporarily, and haven't been sorted out yet. I plan to write a separate paper after sorting out the above things, and hang it in the " Annals of Mathematics."

"It's fine if you don't take it home," Dean Qin heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Lu Zhou's plan, and said with a dry laugh, "I'll let someone drag the whiteboard over for you."

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly turned around and left the lounge, fearing that he would lose even a second.

Seeing the back of Dean Qin leaving, Lu Zhou tilted his head in confusion, and muttered to himself.

"...to be so secretive, what are you planning?"

Shaking his head, Lu Zhou put the matter aside, took out the laptop from the backpack thrown by the table and put it on the table.

The quasi-Riemann conjecture has come to an end.

The mathematical tools of hyperelliptic geometric analysis have also been finalized more than thirty minutes ago.

Now he has only three things to do.

The first task was to complete the thesis describing the theoretical tool "Hyperelliptic Geometry Analysis".

The second thing is to tell the good news to his collaborator on this paper—namely, his student Vera.

As for the third thing...

That, of course, continued what he had been doing that day.

Push the value of ε to the end of 1/2, and draw a final end to this ultimate proposition that has spanned a century and a half...
