Xueba starts with change

Chapter 503 Concurrently Received Papers

After uploading the paper to the preprint website e-Print arXiv.

Chen Zhou finally couldn't bear the drowsiness, and fell asleep as soon as he touched the bed.

Even though the phone rang several times, it didn't wake him up.

He didn't even know that not long after he uploaded the paper, a well-known foreign mathematics forum exploded.

"Wow, another proof paper of Goldbach's conjecture? Is someone going to snatch the right to prove Goldbach's conjecture?"

"Brother upstairs, can you comment after you read it clearly? This paper was sent by Dr. Chen Zhou!"

"Damn it, Dr. Chen Zhou finally spoke up, but is it too late?"

"That's right, Dr. Chen Zhou's thesis is much later than that of Professor Harold Hoofgott. If the proofs of both of them are correct, then Dr. Chen Zhou still loses, unless... "

"Unless someone's proof is wrong, or flawed..."

"What do you mean upstairs? A mathematician of this level should not publish wrong papers, right?"

"Let me explain to the upstairs. To be precise, a paper is not published, it means the correctness of the research results, and it needs to be reviewed by peers to confirm that there are no irreparable defects before it can be counted as completed. And like brother For Debach’s conjecture, peer review alone is not enough for a proof of this level, at least a report meeting is needed to gain the approval of the entire mathematics community.”

"I probably understand, that is to say, Dr. Chen Zhou and Professor Harold Hoofgot need to have a head-to-head confrontation?"

"Uh... Maybe it can be understood like this..."

"Damn it, it's so exciting, just thinking about it, it feels like the war of the century..."

"By the way, have any of you seen the Weibo post by Dr. Chen Zhou? He said his thesis was 'Guess the correct way to open it'..."

"My God, did Dr. Chen Zhou find a flaw in Professor Harold Hoofgot's thesis?"

"I don't know, but just thinking about it makes me very excited. The battle of proof of the century conjecture..."

"Looking forward to..."

"+1..."

"+943133581..."

……

At this time, Yang Yiyi, who was far away in LIGO, was looking at the chat interface with Chen Zhou.

Above are two messages about 10 minutes apart.

Touching the phone screen, Yang Yiyi clicked the video call button.

But in the end, she shook her head helplessly and exited the chat interface with Chen Zhou.

According to Chen Zhou's habits, Yang Yiyi reckoned that Chen Zhou must have really fallen asleep.

It's just that Chen Zhou is falling asleep, but Yang Yiyi is about to get busy.

It's not because of anything else, it's just that Chen Zhou hasn't been able to wait for the reply.

Many people started to find Yang Yiyi and asked her about Chen Zhou.

After all, the news Chen Zhou replied to them, the dynamics Chen Zhou posted on Weibo, and the papers uploaded by Chen Zhou have all caused varying degrees of influence.

But Yang Yiyi didn't know the specific situation of Chen Zhou, and what did Chen Zhou mean by "I guess the correct way to open it".

She could only help Chen Zhou and explain some non-essential issues.

At this time, in the dormitory building of Yanda University.

Li Li, Zhao Qiqi, and Zhu Mingli were all putting their heads together at this moment, waiting for the reply to the message on the phone.

"Qiqi, Lao Zhu, what do you think is going on now?"

After seeing Yang Yiyi's reply, Li Li said softly.

Zhao Qiqi, who was sandwiched between the two, was about to turn his head to speak, when he suddenly had a "bang bang fun".

Suddenly, the three of them covered their heads at the same time.

However, Zhao Qiqi covered her head and said in her mouth: "Then there is no need to ask? It must be the proof of Brother Chen, and it is correct!"

Zhu Mingli also rubbed his head, sucked and said: "I also think so, Brother Chen is not the kind of person who talks big, judging from his saying 'Brother guesses the correct way to open', He must know that Professor Harold Hoofgot has uploaded the proof paper."

"But he still said this sentence, which means that there must be something wrong with the proof of that Professor Harold Hoofgot. Although I don't know where the problem is..."

Li Li agreed: "Old Zhu is right. Judging from Brother Chen's work habits, he is not a person who can't afford to lose, and it is impossible for him to say this sentence casually. But if he said it, he didn't miss it." .Especially in the proof of mathematical conjectures.”

Zhao Qiqi put down her hand rubbing her head, and said hesitantly, "Why don't you call Brother Chen? If you don't understand this, I won't be at ease..."

Zhu Mingli immediately gave Zhao Qiqi a blank look: "It's not the Goldbach's conjecture you proved, why are you unreliable?"

Zhao Qiqi: "You can't say that, Brother Chen's, isn't it ours? Don't you see what the public opinion has become now? I'm really worried that Brother Chen was praised too much earlier, Someone will want to step on him..."

Li Li and Zhu Mingli looked at each other, and what Zhao Qiqi said was indeed what they were worried about.

Because Chen Zhou was too dazzling before, this "competition" with Harold Hoofgot about the proof of Guessing has been rendered in a different color.

If Chen Zhou loses this time, there will definitely be a large number of people who will jump out and criticize Chen Zhou.

What is young and frivolous, what is ignorant of the sky and the earth...

Anyway, no matter how hard you blew it before, you will definitely step on it this time.

Zhu Mingli glanced at the news on his computer. He suddenly smiled and said, "Anyway, I believe Brother Chen will win this 'competition'."

Zhao Qiqi looked at Zhu Mingli, and said with a smile: "I also believe in Brother Chen, who has never lost in our dormitory, this time will definitely be no exception!"

Li Li didn't speak, he looked at Zhu Mingli, then at Zhao Qiqi.

Zhu Mingli and Zhao Qiqi also looked at Li Li now.

All three of them had absolute confidence in Chen Zhou.

The three of them were also very helpless. Whether it was Harold Hoofgot's proof paper on Ge Guess or Chen Zhou's proof paper, they couldn't understand it, and they couldn't verify it by themselves.

Zhao Qiqi asked again: "Then should we call Brother Chen first?"

Li Li shook his head: "Let's forget it, Yiyi has already said, Brother Chen is probably resting now, we will ask tomorrow."

Hearing this, Zhao Qiqi immediately said: "The whole world is paying attention to this matter, Brother Chen is still able to sleep, if I don't find out whose proof is the correct way to open it, I'm afraid I will have insomnia until the day after tomorrow..."

Li Li gave Zhao Qiqi a helpless look: "Qiqi, it's not like you don't know the way Brother Chen works on the subject. He probably stayed up for a lot of nights before, and it's finally settled before he rests."

Zhao Qiqi was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "If you don't say this, I almost forgot, it seems that Brother Chen is working hard this time."

Hearing Zhao Qiqi's words, Zhu Mingli said: "Is there a time when Brother Chen didn't fight hard?"

Zhao Qiqi: "..."

After a while, Zhao Qiqi sat back at the desk, followed the latest progress, and said again: "If Brother Chen really proved Goldbach's conjecture, among other things, we should at least help him celebrate." ?”

Hearing this, Zhu Mingli and Li Li immediately turned their heads and said with a smile: "This can be done~"

In fact, apart from Zhao Qiqi's dormitory, many dormitories in the Department of Mathematics of Yanda University had the same discussion.

Although Chen Zhou has left, the students have been following the news about him.

After all, Chen Zhou is the only person in the history of the Department of Mathematics of Yanda University who killed three mathematical conjectures in a row and left with the best undergraduate thesis in history.

Moreover, during Chen Zhou's study, they were abused over and over again.

They also want to see what happens to foreign students after being abused...

Similarly, besides the students of Yanda University, there are also many professors from the Department of Mathematics who are also paying attention to this matter.

Wu Xiping and Zhang Zhongyuan are now together, studying Chen Zhou's thesis and Harold Hoofgot's thesis.

"Old Zhang, I didn't see anything wrong with Chen Zhou's thesis, did you see it?"

Hearing this, Zhang Zhongyuan immediately gave Wu Xiping a blank look, and said angrily, "If you don't understand it, then you don't understand it. Why don't you see anything wrong with it..."

Wu Xiping, who has long been accustomed to his old friend's temper, was not angry even if his thoughts were exposed face to face, but asked with a smile: "I really don't understand it, what about you, do you understand it?"

"Uh..." Zhang Zhongyuan hesitated for a moment, and immediately said: "This certificate is very beautiful, there is no major problem."

Wu Xiping asked again: "Is there any small problem?"

Zhang Zhongyuan opened his mouth, turned his head and saw Wu Xiping who was looking at him narrowly.

He blushed immediately, and said helplessly, "Well, I didn't quite understand..."

Hearing this, Wu Xiping burst out laughing.

Seeing this, Zhang Zhongyuan said aloud: "You are laughing and laughing, don't you understand? What's so funny? Anyway, that kid has said that this is the correct way to open it, so there must be no problem."

Wu Xiping stopped laughing, looked at Zhang Zhongyuan and asked, "Do you believe what Chen Zhou said?"

Zhang Zhongyuan nodded, and said rather angrily: "I don't believe my own students, so should I trust others? Trust the one who talks nonsense?"

Wu Xiping was silent for a while, and said: "Anyway, Zou Minwang is also a professor of the Department of Mathematics of Yanda University. Before we find out the problem of the thesis, we can't say that people talk about it. As long as we trust our students, whether he believes it or not What does it matter?"

Zhang Zhongyuan did not speak.

For people like Zou Minwang, he really disdains to be with them.

They are all professors of Yan University, but he not only does not support the students who go out of his own school.

On the contrary, after professors from other colleges spoke out, he also jumped out on his own initiative.

It means that Harold Hoofgot's thesis has completely proved Goldbach's conjecture, and Chen Zhou has completely lost.

Moreover, he has been publishing remarks criticizing Chen Zhou.

It is said that Chen Zhou has drifted away, is not doing his job properly, and treats the subject of the national "Ten Thousand Talents Plan" as a child's play, and does not pay attention to it at all.

Otherwise, how could it take so long to apply for a project, but still fail to solve it?
It is also said that Chen Zhou went to study glue balls halfway, to study the difficult problems of algebraic geometry.

I just didn't think about solving Goldbach's conjecture.

Zhang Zhongyuan really couldn't understand why a professor of mathematics would slander the students who graduated from his school so much?
Does it do him any good?

Moreover, this Zou Minwang is even more infuriating.

It's fine for him to dance by himself, and he brought some people to dance with him.

Also because they are professors of the Department of Mathematics of Yanda University, the outside media generated more speculations.

Of course, these guesses are not good for Chen Zhou.

Zhang Zhongyuan was even more puzzled, when did Chen Zhou offend this Professor Zou Minwang?
Chen Zhou, a student who spends all day doing research, can have any conflict with Zou Minwang?
Didn't the two of them follow Dean Sun to participate in academic exchanges?
"Old Zhang, do you think we should find Dean Sun?"

Interrupted by Wu Xiping's voice, Zhang Zhongyuan glanced at his old friend in surprise.

There has never been anything that can make Wu Xiping take the initiative to find Dean Sun.

Even when Wu Xiping encountered great difficulties when evaluating professors, he never went to see Dean Sun.

Zhang Zhongyuan did not expect that Wu Xiping would go to Dean Sun for Chen Zhou.

"You want Dean Sun to take care of them?"

Wu Xiping nodded: "In any case, before the results come out, people from Yanda University should not express their opinions outside."

Zhang Zhongyuan thought for a while and said, "I think it's better not to go. Dean Sun didn't stop them, which means that Dean Sun has his own plans. Moreover, we should not go if we believe Chen Zhou's words."

Wu Xiping nodded silently: "Okay then, let's wait for the results of the paper review to come out."

Zhang Zhongyuan: "I shouldn't have to wait that long..."

Wu Xiping was slightly surprised, but soon understood what Zhang Zhongyuan meant.

Zou Minwang, whom the two of them mentioned, was currently studying Chen Zhou's thesis.

Squeezing between his eyebrows, Zou Minwang murmured, "Although I can't guarantee that Harold Hoofgot's thesis is correct, I must make sure that yours is problematic... ..."

Ever since Zou Minwang saw what Chen Zhou posted on Weibo, he has been a little restless.

In desperation, he could only bite the bullet and study Chen Zhou's thesis, trying to find irreparable flaws in it.

Otherwise, he knew what would happen to him if things went the other way.

Regardless of whether Dean Sun doesn't talk about them now, it's just that he didn't find a suitable reason.

Zou Minwang rested for a while, and then began to look for mistakes in Chen Zhou's thesis again.

In fact, like Zou Minwang, there are many people reviewing Chen Zhou's paper.

Including professors of mathematics departments in many universities in the world.

Because Chen Zhou's words on Weibo spread at an incredible speed.

They want to figure out the proof of the two people and who is right.

Compared with these mathematics professors who can do it themselves, most ordinary people can only wait for the final result.

And this matter, which seemed to have no suspense at first, suddenly became suspenseful again because of Chen Zhou's voice.

And it's even more exciting than before.

In addition to these professors of the Department of Mathematics who spontaneously reviewed manuscripts, the papers submitted by Chen Zhou are also in the peer review stage.

As soon as the editorial department of "Annual of Mathematics" received Chen Zhou's submitted paper, they immediately contacted the relevant reviewers.

As for the first step of technical editor review, it was completely passed.

This kind of paper, the technical editor really can't see anything.

However, it is more coincidental that, before Chen Zhou, Harold Hoofgot also submitted his paper to the "Annual Journal of Mathematics".

The time difference between his and Chen Zhou's paper submissions was no more than one day.

It can almost be said that this is a paper received by the Annals of Mathematics at the same time.

Because of this, the editors of the "Annual Journal of Mathematics" are a little uncertain.

When they thought that Wiles had hired six reviewers for his thesis proving Fermat's Last Theorem, they felt dizzy for a while.

But fortunately, the mathematics experts at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton helped them solve this problem.

If they let them find the reviewers by themselves, it must be a headache?
After all, for two papers, at least 12 reviewers are enough...

While the two papers were undergoing peer review, matters related to the report meeting were also finalized.

However, the location of the report meeting was something that many people did not expect.

Because Chen Zhou and Harold Hoofgot both agreed with the opinion of the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study.

Considering the inconvenience of the reviewers, they chose Princeton, the world mathematics center, as the venue for this report.

Moreover, the two of them will hold a report meeting together.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately aroused the expectations of countless people.

After all, this is the right to prove the question of the century...
