"It's okay...... understand," Chen Zhou looked up at Yao Tongtong and said.

After a pause, Chen Zhou hesitated and said again: "As I said just now, didn't Professor Zhang Yitang win the 2014 Cole Number Theory Prize?

Seeing Chen Zhou's reaction, Yao Tongtong knew that Chen Zhou only knew one thing, but not the other.

Although the next award of the Cole Number Theory Prize is logically in 2017.

However, when there are major research results, the icing on the cake such as awarding awards is negotiable.

And the reason why Yao Tongtong asked Chen Zhou if he knew much about Professor Zhang Yitang.

It is because Zhang Yitang won the Kohl Number Theory Prize in the year when he made a major research achievement on the twin prime conjecture.

At that time, Zhang Yitang published the paper "Bounded Intervals between Prime Numbers" in the Annals of Mathematics on April 17, 2013.

When Zhang Yitang won the Kohl Number Theory Prize, it was December 2, 2013.

Exactly the same year in time.

However, 2013 is neither the year of the Kohl Number Theory Prize nor the year of the Kohl Algebra Prize.

It's just that the award committee has advanced the award time, and Zhang Yitang still won the 2014 Cole Number Theory Award.

Therefore, when Chen Zhou made a series of achievements in the field of number theory.

Yao Tongtong feels that the judging committee of the Kohl Number Theory Award has every reason to advance the 2017 Kohl Number Theory Award in advance.

The reason why Yao Tongtong remembers this time so clearly.

is because, when Zhang Yitang won the award, she was an assistant reporter and followed her predecessors to interview Zhang Yitang.

And these are the reasons why Yao Tongtong chose to believe that friend's gossip.

Yao Tongtong then explained these thoughts to Chen Zhou.

Since it is an exchange, Chen Zhou has already finished the interview, so he can't hide it, and let Chen Zhou take this news as a complete gossip.

Hearing Yao Tongtong say this, Chen Zhou felt that it seemed quite reasonable.

At the beginning, Zhang Yitang only proved a weakened form of the twin prime conjecture, and found that there were infinitely many pairs of prime numbers with a difference of less than 70 million without relying on unproven inference.

Thus, a big leap forward has been taken on the road of twin prime conjecture, a famous problem that no mathematician has been able to substantively promote.

It opens the door to the study of the twin prime conjecture.

And what about yourself?

Crumell guessed that this mathematical problem, which no one could come close to proving, had been solved by himself.

The Jebov conjecture, which is as famous as the twin prime conjecture, has been solved by himself.

Incidentally, there was a hail conjecture like a mathematical game before, and this mathematical conjecture that belongs to the field of number theory was also solved by himself.

In addition, Zhang Yitang just opened the door, and he is a complete proof.

At the same time, there is also the tool of distribution deconstruction.

According to Professor Faltins, distributive deconstruction is an opportunity to analyze number theory......

If Chen Zhou thinks about it like this, he seems to be indeed qualified to let the rating committee of the Cole Number Theory Award consider it in advance......

Moreover, this year's number theory class, in addition to upgrading the Kramel conjecture and the Jebov conjecture to theorems.

There is only the twin prime conjecture solved by Tao Zhexuan and Zhang Yitang.

However, when these two people solved the twin prime conjecture, they also used their own distribution deconstruction method.

Although winning a Fields Medal for these achievements may have to think a little more.

But the triennial Kohl Number Theory Award doesn't seem to be in suspense.

I just don't know how much money this award will be and when it will be awarded.

I'll have to look it up on a computer to look up this Cole's Number Theory Award.

In addition, since this is the mathematics prize of the United States, the prize money should be all dollars, right?

If you do the conversion, wouldn't it ......

Thinking about it, a smile appeared on the corner of Chen Zhou's mouth.

Seeing this, Yao Tongtong couldn't help but feel a little strange: "Chen Zhou, what's wrong with you?"

When Chen Zhou heard Yao Tongtong's voice, he came back to his senses, coughed lightly twice, and asked curiously: "Reporter Yao, do you know how much the prize money is for this Colean Number Theory Award?

Yao Tongtong was slightly stunned, and then smiled and quipped: "What's the matter, you're tempted? Now don't you suspect that I'm gossip?"

Chen Zhou said with a smile: "No, no, I'm just curious to ask, just ask." ”

Yao Tongtong chuckled: "I won't tell you the specific bonus, leave you with a sense of expectation." Anyway, quite a lot. ”

When Chen Zhou heard that there was a lot of bonuses, his eyes lit up obviously.

But Chen Zhou said: "This is the first time I have the opportunity to win a mathematics prize, and I am still looking forward to it." ”

Yao Tongtong praised this time: "You are the most promising and potential person among the new generation of mathematicians in China." ”

"I believe that you can win a lot of mathematics prizes in the future, and I believe that you can bring back the first Fields Medal in China!"

Chen Zhou smiled and said, "Accept your auspicious words, I hope so." ”

Yao Tongtong said again: "I believe you will be able to." But don't forget me then? Don't even get an interview like before. ”

Chen Zhou smiled dumbly, waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, if I really win the Fields Medal, I will definitely accept your interview!"

Yao Tongtong's eyebrows curved into a good-looking arc, and said happily: "That's a word?"

Chen Zhou nodded: "Words count." ”

Yao Tongtong still has to sort out the interview materials, and Chen Zhou is also ready to check what kind of mathematics award the Cole Number Theory Award is.

After a simple chat of two more sentences, the video call between Chen Zhou and Yao Tongtong ended.

Chen Zhou put his hands on the keyboard and typed out the "Kohl Number Theory Award", ready to check it.

It's just that after checking for a while, Chen Zhou didn't have much interest.

Although what Yao Tongtong said was quite exciting to him, it was just a piece of news after all.

Perhaps the Cole's Prize Committee for Number Theory is really thinking about itself.

Chen Zhou originally wanted to ask Professor Zhang Yitang, after all, he had won the Cole Number Theory Prize.

But if you think about it, it's not good to be happy too soon before the final result comes out.

Therefore, Chen Zhou moved the mouse arrow to the upper right corner, clicked "X", and closed the search page.

Then, Chen Zhou glanced at the time, it was still early.

picked up his mobile phone and sent Yang Yiyi a request for a video call.

After connecting, Yang Yiyi didn't ask Chen Zhou what he was doing just now, but just put his mobile phone aside and focused on reading the literature again.

Chen Zhou himself took the initiative to say a few words and explained the interview with Yao Tongtong just now.

Hearing Chen Zhou's explanation, Yang Yiyi looked up at Chen Zhou slightly, with a shallow smile on her face.

This is also the tacit understanding and agreement between the two.
