898 Snow In Princeton (4/4)
Chapter 898 Snow in Princeton (44)
Princeton campus.
It was the coldest time of the year in New Jersey, and there were silvery white snowflakes outside the window. The lingering snow piled up on the window eaves and roof, decorating this Oxford-style campus soaked in academic atmosphere into an old castle in a fairy tale.
Sitting quietly in the library activity room of this "old castle", Vera, who was quietly sitting at the desk and looking at the computer, and the bookshelves beside her and the snow outside the window, are like a painting.
The long pale golden hair hangs down softly, and although the fair complexion reveals a bit of unrelieved paleness, the softness and strength cast in the sapphire-like eyes give people a feeling of peace of mind, It also added a little dazzling color to her.
On the computer screen is Lu Zhou's reply.
The concise language style and the diction that goes straight to the point are very characteristic of him.
[I have read your email. 】
[The method of using the irreducible unitary representation theory of the octonion Heisenberg group and performing Fourier transform on it is indeed a very interesting improvement idea. 】
[And this also reminds me of the result of a quantitative version of the weak form of the Riemann conjecture that Levinson and Professor Montgomery jointly proved in 1974, that is, ζ'(s) in the open area {-1 [Very good, the line of thought you proposed just answered me indirectly, a point that I had always had doubts about before. Remember what I said a long time ago? The Riemann Hypothesis is a problem of analytic number theory, but it is still a problem of complex analysis in essence. We must use the idea of solving complex analysis problems to solve it, but we cannot be limited to this. 】 [My suggestion is, start with the Plancherel formula on a class of simply connected nilpotent Lie groups G_n, and discuss the subelliptic properties of left invariant differential operators on G_n, and you should be able to find unexpected things. 】 [By the way, I suggest that you sort out the things in the email and send a paper, which is also convenient for me to cite. 】 "Isn't it limited to the solution method of complex analysis problems? Your style really hasn't changed at all." After reading the email from the beginning to the end, Vera's mouth curled into a slight smile. But then the arc of the raised lips gradually flattened. The little girl sitting at the desk frowned and thought for a long time, then reached out and picked up the ballpoint pen in the pen holder, and wrote down the ideas proposed by Lu Zhou on the draft paper. Down. At the same time, I also incorporated some of my own ideas. At this time, the door of the activity room was suddenly pushed open, and a woman in a windbreaker walked in briskly. After shaking off the snowflakes on her body, Molina casually hung her coat on the hanger at the door, and walked to Vera's side with two sandwiches and coffee. "Don't look at the computer for now, let's talk about it after lunch. I brought you your favorite tuna sandwich... and mint-flavored coffee. By the way, what kind of strange taste is this? Someone put mint in In coffee, it's even more strange that anyone would buy it." "Thank you, Molina," Vera warmed her palms with a cup of hot coffee, and showed Molina a gentle smile of sincere gratitude, "However, it's not about putting mints in the coffee. Instead, soak the washed mint leaves after brewing the coffee, wait five minutes and then remove it... just like making tea." "Anyway, I can't stand the smell... What are you looking at?" "Professor Lu's reply," Vera said with a slight blush on her face, covered her mouth with a piece of paper, "...I was just studying his paper on hyperelliptic curve analysis a few days ago. I happened to think of an application of the theory of irreducible unitary representations of octonion Heisenberg groups, and then I tried to study it... It seems that my research has come in handy.” Looking at the email on the screen, Molina said sullenly. "Hey, you are collaborating with the enemy! Don't you forget, I am your comrade in arms." "Professor Lu is not our enemy." Looking at Molina, Vera showed a rare brave or stubborn side, and said solemnly, "We agreed at the beginning, why can't we solve this problem together? ? Solving the Riemann Hypothesis is not a job that can be done by one person." Seeing the stubborn expression on Vera's face, Molina opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word. She admits that she has selfishness in it, but who wouldn't? If the Riemann conjecture was proved by Lu Zhou, even if no one said so clearly, he would definitely give all the credit to him, and take it for granted that he must have solved 99% of the troubles. Like who remembers Hardy's paper collaborators? And who would remember in which year Hilbert collaborated with whom to complete an important paper or a major research result? Unless, it is a problem that Hardy and Hilbert cooperate to solve. In the case of a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, people are always accustomed to remembering the name that is easiest to remember and forgetting the one that is not important. She admits that mathematics is her life, and she studies mathematics just because she likes it, but it is also one of her unshirkable responsibilities to honor the name of the Abel family. At least she thinks so. However, looking at the unyielding Vera, she couldn't say anything selfish. "...I really can't do anything about you," Molina sighed as if compromising, and scratched the hair on the back of her head, "If you think things are that simple, then just continue walking on the path you think is right." All right." "Thank you." Vera smiled softly, expressing her sincere thanks. "You're welcome... Speaking of which, is your body really okay?" Molina looked at the wastebasket next to her and said worriedly, "You coughed all day yesterday, and you don't feel very well today. it is good." Vera shook her head lightly, and said with a smile, "It's actually okay, don't worry about me." After hesitating for a while, Molina said, "Why don't I go to the 45-minute report meeting in St. Petersburg for you, and you should take a good rest here." "No, I will definitely go in person." With a blush on her face, Vera shook her head, "He must be looking forward to my report meeting, and I will not disappoint his expectations." Molina took a deep breath, and finally asked the question she had been hiding for a long time and wanted to ask: "May I ask, what exactly is wrong with you?" The fingertips holding the ballpoint pen paused slightly, Vera shook her head as usual, and said with a soft smile. "You don't have to worry about me, I'm fine." Even though he said that, the voice really couldn't make people feel at ease. Seeing her appearance, Molina's heart palpitated inexplicably. Impulsively, she snatched the draft paper and pen from Vera's hand, pressed the slender shoulder, and said in an unquestionable voice. "Listen, you need to rest! Patients should just stay in bed, you look like—" "I don't need it, give it to me..." After struggling to snatch the draft paper and pen back from Molina, Vera looked at her stubbornly and continued, "What I need is not rest, believe me, I know I What do you need?" time is running out... There is simply no room for waste. Looking at the girl whose expression did not give in at all, Molina finally made a compromise, let go of the hand holding Vera's shoulder, and said self-destructively. "I have convinced you!" After that, she turned around and walked to the door, grabbed the wet coat and put it on herself, and walked outside the activity room.
