Chapter 502 The correct way to open the guess
Sliding the mouse lightly, Chen Zhou clicked the left button.

But unfortunately, the page got stuck, and I didn't jump over for a while.

After thinking about it, Chen Zhou reopened another page.

Upload your completed thesis.

Then, contribute.

"This preprint website e-Print arXiv is really stuck. I'd better submit the proof I guessed to the Annals of Mathematics first. I'll see if I can visit this website last time..."

Thinking in this way, Chen Zhou completed the submission of Ge Guess's proof paper according to the requirements of the "Annual of Mathematics" website.

Only, when he looked back, the e-Print arXiv site was still stuck there.

The force of Harold Hoofgot's third essay remained undiminished after so many days of digestion.

After waiting for a while, Chen Zhou was really impatient, so he hung up the webpage, took his mobile phone, and went back to bed.

Chen Zhou, who was lying on the bed, was in a pretty good mood.

Through the study of the manuscript materials sent by Nott, Chen Zhou accidentally found the inspiration for the finishing touch.

The manuscript of the Queen of Algebra brought him good luck.

This is also the reason why Yang Yiyi didn't interrupt Chen Zhou when the video was on that night, but stayed with him to study until midnight.

Even at that meeting, Chen Zhou had already survived the whole night.

Afterwards, after a short rest, Chen Zhou adopted a complete retreat mode.

That is, the mobile phone is turned off, and the chat software is all disconnected.

Temporarily disconnected from the outside world.

Put all your energy on the final battle of Goldbach's conjecture.

Although there is a mathematician who is half a step ahead of him.

And I don't know when, the other party will be able to completely solve Goldbach's conjecture.

There is a high probability that he will be faster than himself.

And your own research is likely to become worthless.

But so what?
When Chen Zhou found that fleeting inspiration, he didn't care about it long ago.

He just wants to use his own way to solve the brother guessing problem that has spanned nearly 300 years.

He just wanted to write the final answer on his draft paper.

Make the collection of wrong questions that has been thickened again thinner.

In this way, Chen Zhou, who was in seclusion, searched for the inspiration he got from the manuscript, and started his liver-explosive research day and night.

If you are really sleepy, if you can go back to bed, go back to bed.

If you can't go back, just lie on the desk and sleep for a while.

After waking up, continue.

In Chen Zhou's eyes, there was nothing else in his mind except what Goldbach conjectured.

The so-called concept of time has long been thrown away.

Until today, Chen Zhou finally completed the proof of Goldbach's conjecture!
Completed the entire 101-page proof thesis too!

It was only after finishing, when he was stretching just now, that Chen Zhou suddenly felt very tired.

After completing the proof of Guess, what Chen Zhou thought of immediately was to quickly upload it to the preprint website e-Print arXiv.

Let's occupy this hole first.

After all, this topic is different from the past and has direct competitors.

Chen Zhou at this meeting didn't know that Harold Hoofgot had uploaded the third paper.

So when he logged on to the website, he was still puzzled.

How can a website that is normally smooth be so stuck today?

After boarding, he immediately understood.

At the same time, Chen Zhou's heart skipped a beat.

Is it too late for the research results I have worked out day and night?

Therefore, Chen Zhou temporarily put down the thesis he planned to upload, and began to search for the third thesis uploaded by Harold Hoofgot.

It took a while before Chen Zhou downloaded the third paper.

Immediately, Chen Zhou opened the paper and read it.

This dissertation was indeed Harold Hoofgot's final dissertation.

The results of this paper are indeed written to prove that Goldbach's conjecture is established.

Therefore, when Chen Zhou finished scanning the keywords and abstracts, he just felt chills in his heart.

I thought that this time I really did useless work, and it was completely over...

Looking at the thesis on the computer, Chen Zhou's eyes with serious dark circles became more and more lifeless.

Sighing lightly, Chen Zhou was ready to verify the contents of this paper.

This is his only chance to come back now.

If there is no problem in the final verification result.

Then Chen Zhou did indeed lose.

In the history of Goldbach's conjecture research, there will be no such name as Chen Zhou.

However, once the result of the final verification, the proof in the paper is flawed.

Then Chen Zhou's opportunity came.

Of course, this defect cannot be small.

As Chen Zhou's verification of the thesis progressed, his heart, which had fallen to the bottom, gradually stood up again.

He actually found the flaw in the paper!

And from Chen Zhou's point of view, this defect cannot be repaired!

Because of this defect, it comes from the distribution deconstruction method!
It is the content Chen Zhou is most familiar with!

Usually, after a proof is presented, it must be carefully checked and verified before it can be recognized.

Take Wiles' original proof of Fermat's conjecture.

Wiles submitted a 200-page proof to "New Advances in Mathematics", one of the four major journals in mathematics.

The editor of the journal then distributed the manuscript to six reviewers.

One of them was Nick, a mathematician at Princeton University.

Together with his colleagues, he spent two months carefully checking every logical link of the part he was responsible for.

Whenever they came across some argument they couldn't understand, they emailed Wiles.

And Wiles will reply to the email in time to clarify the problem.

But by the end of August, Wiles' explanation of a problem failed to convince the two reviewers.

After further research, Wiles discovered that the problem was a flaw in the logical framework of mathematics!
At first, Wiles thought a simple fix should be doable.

But when he set out to fix the bug, fragments of the logical framework began to fall off in an instant.

Wiles immediately realized that this was not just a simple mistake, it might even be more than a repairable defect!
If this is really a crack, a defect that cannot be repaired, it will collapse the entire proof of the Great Theorem!

However, by December 1993, six months after the Cambridge lecture, Wiles had not been able to fix the flaw.

The mathematical community has waited for centuries to prove that it is crumbling behind him.

Also because the time dragged on for too long, the final review could not be completed, and rumors began to spread that Wiles had not proved Fermat's last theorem at all.

Mathematicians also began to demand that he publish the manuscripts of papers, and if there were errors, colleagues hoped that someone would magically see and fix them.

However, Wiles is not going to let others easily grab this honor.

Like Chen Zhou, Wiles started the "retreat" mode before the proof.

The purpose of doing this is to bring myself back to the original state, so that I can try my best to repair this defect.

The other is to avoid being disturbed by the outside world.

Because over time, people's thinking has become that Wiles has to prove Fermat's Last Theorem, and if he doesn't prove it, he is bound to be in big trouble.

However, even if it returns to the original state, Wiles cannot complete the repair of the defects in the paper for a while.

Finally, under the persuasion of his friends, Wiles invited his former student, Taylor, who has become a famous number theorist at Cambridge University, to repair the flaws in the paper.

Throughout the spring and summer, Wiles and Taylor worked, often late at night, in long discussions on the phone.

They also tried to correct the error by making small improvements to the method used in Wiles' incomplete proof from the initial "localization process".

It has developed to the situation of "expanding the scope, casting a larger net, and finding other methods".

However, until September 1994, after the two seasons of spring and summer, they still had no progress.

At this time, Wiles was ready to admit his failure to the world.

It's just that God blessed Wiles with luck just before he admitted defeat to the world.

Wiles decided to check one last time, the method and structure he had used in his original proof of Fermat's conjecture.

He tried to find out exactly why that mathematical logic framework didn't work, at least if it failed so clearly that he failed.

It was in this context that, suddenly and completely unexpectedly, Wiles made an incredible discovery.

Among the mathematical methods that had failed, he found the method he gave up three years ago, which is the "Iwasawa theory".

"Iwasawa Theory" was originally a tool used to prove another conjecture, but at this moment, Wiles used it to completely make up for the fatal flaw in the mathematical logic framework.

It is also with this theory that Wiles and Taylor quickly fixed the loopholes in the paper within a few weeks.

In May 1995, two years later, they published two papers in the "Annual Journal of Mathematics" that collected all their work, including the final proof, and accompanying discussions, a total of 5 pages.

It can be seen from this that the more important the proof, the more rigorous the inspection and verification required.

After all, mathematics is a subject that has been developed for thousands of years. If wrong proofs are allowed to become bricks and tiles, then the thousand-year-old building of this subject may collapse one day.

For Wiles, though, it was a lengthy and nerve-wracking process that was ultimately a repairable flaw.

Wiles still completed the proof of Fermat's Last Theorem, which has also withstood the scrutiny and verification of the mathematical community.

His proof is recognized by the mathematics community.

But what Chen Zhou discovered at this moment, the flaws in Harold Hoofgot's thesis, are irreparable and irreparable.

It is also impossible to have any "Iwasawa theory" that can save this paper.

Of course, Chen Zhou made a mistake in the verification method in order to make sure that he wasn't impulsive.

He also deliberately rechecked and verified it several times.

At the same time, Chen Zhou cleverly used the magical tool of wrong question collection.

On the set of wrong questions, not only the mistakes verified by Chen Zhou were recorded, but it was also thickened a lot.

This also shows from the side that even Chen Zhou himself has not been able to repair the flaws in Harold Hoofgot's thesis when using the distribution deconstruction method.

The birth of the distribution deconstruction method originated from Chen Zhou's proof of Krammel's theorem.

At that time, starting with probability theory, normal distribution, etc., combined with mathematical tools for analyzing number theory such as sieve method and circle method, finally created the distribution deconstruction method.

However, in his thesis, Harold Hoofgot ignored one of the most basic mathematical logic problems in the distribution deconstruction method.

This mathematical logic structure is far worse than what Wiles encountered.

Because this mathematical logic structure is directly related to the core logic of the distribution deconstruction method.

To put it bluntly, it is this mathematical logic structure. Once ignored, the distribution deconstruction method will not exist.

Now that the distribution deconstruction method does not exist, where does this proof come from?

It is also possible that Harold Hoofgot had not overlooked this logical structure of mathematics.

It's just that, as Chen Zhou said, he was too impatient.

After all, the previous two consecutive papers had raised this matter to an extraordinary height.

If he hadn't selectively "disconnected and retreated" like Chen Zhou, then he was likely to be disturbed by the outside world.

In any case, this is a problem that has plagued the mathematics world for hundreds of years!
But then again, if it weren't for Harold Hoofgot's impatience, no one would know what the current situation would be like.

But now, after verifying this fatal flaw, Chen Zhou has taken the absolute initiative.

Because of this, Chen Zhou thought about continuing to post his papers proving his brother's guess on the preprint website e-Print arXiv.

I have to let everyone see the correct way to open it, right?
And I haven't spoken out for such a long time, so I have to stand up no matter what happens?

It's just a pity, but also helpless.

The entire mathematical community, and those outside it, were immersed in Harold Hoofgot's third paper.

This preprint website, e-Print arXiv, is always stuck.

This led to the operation of Chen Zhou submitting the manuscript first, and then refreshing the e-Print arXiv website.

Chen Zhou, who was lying on the bed, glanced at the computer screen again.

The computer screen is blank and still hasn't been refreshed.

Chen Zhou shook his head slightly, but instead of turning off the computer, he decided to wait a little longer.

At this moment, Chen Zhou's mobile phone has also been turned on.

As soon as he turned it on, he heard a series of sound effects.

The notification tone for that message never stopped...

Chen Zhou also experienced the feeling of swiping the screen with news.

But not only the messages on the chat software are swiping the screen, but the number on the icon of the text message on the mobile phone is also constantly jumping.

After waiting for a while, the news that swiped the screen gradually stopped.

Chen Zhou couldn't help rubbing his forehead. His mobile phone was turned off and all chat software was disconnected. Coupled with the crazy news from the outside world, it is estimated that many people will go crazy.

After making sure that all the messages on the phone were skipped, Chen Zhou picked up the phone and checked them one by one.

Almost everyone who has his contact information has sent him a message.

Ask about his situation and the situation of Gechai's proof.

Chen Zhou thought for a while and replied to these people respectively.

Of course, the Weibo with "99+" was also opened by Chen Zhou after it had been dusty for so long.

Chen Zhou didn't respond to netizens' concerns, questions, or abuse one by one.

He simply updated a Weibo.

"After nearly a year, the two papers of the graduate students have finally been completed. Oh yes, one of them is the correct way to open it."

After Chen Zhou posted this Weibo, he turned his head.

Just saw the refreshed e-Print arXiv website...
