Shen Huan is a person who does what he says.

The next day was Sunday, and early in the morning, he wrote an article about the "Taniyama-Shimura Conjecture."

"Dear Professor Deville, I am a high school student with a passion for mathematics. I have some new ideas for the famous 'Fermat's Great Theorem', and I would like to ask you to give me some guidance......"

Deville is a professor of mathematics at Princeton University, where he is known for his obsession with Fermat's theorem.

Shen Huan may not be able to pay attention to others, but it is very likely that he will be taken seriously if he finds this professor who has been competing with "Fermat's Great Theorem" all his life.

In addition to greetings and a simple opening remark, Shen Huan had two versions of the "Taniyama-Shimura Conjecture" in his mind, Chinese and English, so it was not difficult to write at all.

While writing Shen Huan, he also sighed, it is rare for a good master to have a convulsion, and he has given himself such a great benefit in such a scoring question.

If you have made outstanding contributions to the proof of "Fermat's theorem", then you are a well-deserved genius in the mathematical world.

Even if you don't have any achievements after that, you can be engraved in the crown of mathematics with this alone.

Shen Huan doesn't have such big ideals.

I can participate in proving the "Fermat's theorem", what are the three famous schools in China, are you embarrassed not to send me an invitation letter for admission without examination?

How good it is to be able to avoid the college entrance examination perfectly, get into a super-first-class famous university, and embark on the right path to the peak of life!?

That is, Shen Huan does not like to leave China, otherwise several famous universities in the world must be happy to study the famous mathematician Mr. Shen.

And it is not a university in the first place, and there is no invitation letter from doctoral students, isn't this an insult to those great mathematicians who came before and succeeded for the "Fermat's Great Theorem"?

Hahahaha!

happily typed the last word, and Shen Huan chose "Send Email".

Another reason why Deville chose was that he made public an email address specifically for receiving some discussions about "Fermat's Great Theorem", and the mathematician with the largest open mailbox that Shen Huan could find was him.

......

Naturally, it is impossible for him to take care of Diver's mailbox, but his assistant is in charge.

In order to prevent the assistant from missing any useful information, Dewell instructed him to print it out and show him as long as it was not a mess of irrelevant content, no matter how absurd it seemed to be mathematical reasoning, no matter who wrote it.

According to Deville's itinerary, the assistant will print out the email every other day or a few days for Deville to read after lunch.

Dewell was very quick to read the emails.

He has a very smart brain and has a deep study of many aspects of "Fermat's Great Theorem", so he can see at a glance whether the opinions, conjectures, etc. written by others are useful.

Over the years, he has received tens of thousands of letters about Fermat's theorem, but unfortunately, none of them are reliable or correct.

But DeVille never gave up, and still spent decades reading these emails, because he didn't know if someone else's words would suddenly inspire him.

Today, when he was eating, sitting opposite was Professor Kustave of physics, and the assistant brought the mail and put it on the table, Dewell did not look at it first, but continued to chat with Kustave while eating.

Unfortunately, a white-haired old man suddenly hurriedly walked by, and as a result, his hand swayed, and the mail printing paper placed on the table was touched and spilled on the ground.

But the white-haired old man didn't notice it at all, and still kept moving quickly and walked out of the cafeteria.

"This old fellow is as frizzy as ever!" Deville smiled bitterly, and without hesitation, he bent down from the table and picked up the mail printer.

"As long as he thinks of something, it's like this, no way. Kustave smiled and picked up the mail printers with him, "I said you're the same, you've been looking at these useless things for so many years!"

"It can't be said that it is useless, what if those geniuses in the world suddenly burst into inspiration and give me inspiration?" said Deville firmly.

"How can a world-class problem be ...... by an unknown person? Huh?" Kustave laughed suddenly.

"What's wrong?" said Deville, puzzled.

"Haha, there's actually a high school student who came to write to you. Kustave pulled this one out, "High school students can study Fermat's Great Theorem?

Dewell took the paper and glanced at the text.

"Dear Professor Deville, I am ......"

"Huh!?"

Seeing the words in the second paragraph, Deville was stunned.

Then he kept this bent position, motionless.

Scientists, there will definitely be times when they are fascinated.

Kustave wasn't surprised that his old friend would suddenly do this, but he was surprised at the timing of this state.

Isn't it really a high school student who can inspire him?

Deville's face was cloudy, but his eyes were fixed on the mail printer, but his body was motionless.

A moment later, without warning, Deville turned and ran.

The speed of running is faster than that of the white-haired old man just now.

Now there is no doubt about Kustave, there must be a great inspiration, otherwise Deville would not have been so gaffe.

When he thought that he would be slapped in the face for his ridicule, Kustave didn't feel a little funny.

Could it be that there are really more and more geniuses in this world?

High school students!

"Fermat's theorem"!!

......

"Bang!"

Returning to the research room specially assigned to him, Deville closed the door of his office inside.

Seeing him so in a hurry, several assistants looked at each other.

"Is there anything special about the mail you brought to your husband today?" asked one of them.

"No, I don't. The assistant who delivered the email just now said, "It's all some nonsense...... Oh, by the way, there's also a high school student who came up with one of his own conjectures, hahaha!"

The rest laughed too.

They have been following DeVerer for some years, and they are not very proficient in the "Fermat's Great Theorem", but they can also understand it very well inside and out.

This is a super problem that has stumped thousands of mathematicians for hundreds of years, how can a single high school student study it?

Conjectures are also proposed......

Who does he think he is!?

They laughed outside, but Deville inside was excited and nervous.

DeVere first wrote on the blackboard in his office that "elliptic curves in the field of rational numbers are all modular curves".

Then he wrote the second sentence.

"If I can prove my conjecture, then any counterexample to Fermat's Great Theorem will lead to a non-modular elliptic curve, which in turn proves that Fermat's Great Theorem is correct. ”

These two sentences are the two most classic and important sentences in this letter.

Looking at the above two seemingly simple words, but containing very profound truths, Deville's mind was spinning rapidly.

It didn't take long for him to feel a hint of exhaustion and dizziness.

That's how the brain is overused!

He quickly stopped, took a glass of water, then took a deep breath and opened the office door.

"Cohen, go and get Professor Andre, Professor Robert, Professor Corrid, and Professor Beni over!

A few assistants outside were startled.

But they immediately agreed and ran out.

They had never seen Professor DeVille look like this, but if he did, it meant something big was going to happen!!

At this time, DeVille and his assistants were not actually in the United States, but in the Newton Institute of Mathematical Sciences of the University of Cambridge in Cambridgeshire, England.

The world's most famous comprehensive research institute is actually a place where visiting professors gather together to discuss research.

It can discuss some pure academics, as well as some science and technology that are used in people's lives.

But no matter which one it is, it is the embodiment of human wisdom.

The people who can participate in this are all top figures in every natural science discipline.

Dewell was suddenly glad that he had come to the Newton Institute of Mathematical Sciences.

If this were not the case, where would he have been able to find so many super mathematical geniuses in the first place to accompany him to test this great conjecture?

Yes.

Deville has already made a preliminary judgment, and this conjecture is linked to elliptic curves, and it may be a new direction to deduce the "Fermat's Great Theorem" in this way.

And this direction has gone beyond the usual pattern of algebraic curves and replaced it with a new way of thinking.

Mathematicians know that when one path is not cleared, then there must be another path waiting for them, it is just a matter of who takes the first step on this path.

Now the conjecture of this email, in Deville's view, is a new step.

Regardless of whether this conjecture can be proved to be correct later, we can work in this direction to further prove it by means of elliptic curves and reverse inference.

This will have an extremely positive and enthusiastic impact on the "Fermat's Great Theorem", which has been dormant for a long time!

It's unimaginable!

A high school student.

is still a high school student from China, and he can actually consider such an esoteric and abstract problem.

How many years has Europe and the United States not produced such a genius?

I really can't wait to invite him over right away, so that he can share his wisdom and thinking with himself and others!!

But not yet!

At least he and his friends can reply if they want to prove that his conjecture has the value of discussion and proof.

Otherwise, it would be too rash and a great disrespect to this great genius mathematician!
