Chapter 270: Half of the Conjecture Proven

Chapter 270

Time goes back to before the start of the Konstantin report.

Gu Lu took out a notebook from his briefcase.

On the notebook is what Gu Lu recorded during the previous one-hour meeting report.

It contains cutting-edge theories expounded by invited speakers, as well as some of Gu Lu's own inspirations and ideas.

Gu Lu flipped through the thick notebook, took out a pen from his pocket, crossed his fingers, and waited for the report to begin.

To be honest, when Gu Lu saw that the topic of Constantine's report was about the conjecture of equal difference primes, his surprised expression was the same as that of the other mathematicians in the meeting.

But when you think about it, there's nothing strange about it.

In terms of difficulty and status, the conjecture of equal difference prime numbers is not the top in the field of number theory.

The status of the conjecture of equal difference prime in the field of number theory is almost the same as the status of the BAB conjecture in the geometric world that Gu Lu did some time ago.

For a mathematician of the genius level of Konstantin, proving conjectures is not commonplace, but it is not enough to be frightening.

What's more, what Constantine proved was not a complete version of the conjecture of equal difference primes.

It is only the conjecture of the equal difference prime when K is equal to an even number.

This is surprising, but it is understandable.

When Konstantin began to report, Gu Lu was also carefully recording in the audience.

Gu Lu's main focus in the field of mathematics is geometry and number theory.

Gu Lu is naturally no stranger to the conjecture of equal difference primes.

Once, Gu Lu also conducted research on the conjecture of equal difference prime numbers for a period of time.

But it is always unfocused, and after a period of no progress, it will be lost.

Now, the way Konstantin described on stage to overcome the conjecture of equal difference prime numbers is indeed different from some of the theories that existed at that time.

To put it simply, it's a refreshing feeling.

The method of proof expounded by Konstantin feels a bit different.

The method of proof is the method of counterproof.

However, there are some differences with the general counter-evidence method.

The conjecture of equal difference prime asks if there is a series of equal difference numbers of prime numbers of any length.

Konstantin assumes its existence.

Then, the number of primes contained in the sequence is K.

Suppose that the first term of the series of K primes is N and the tolerance is d.

Next......

In short, after going around and around, through the constant use of formulas, Konstantin came to a conclusion.

When K is an even number, a contradiction occurs.

Therefore, when K is an even number, the conjecture of equal difference primes holds.

Here is the complete proof process of Konstantin.

However, in the case of K being an odd number, Konstantin has not been able to find a contradiction and prove that the conjecture of equal difference prime is true.

…………

Offstage.

The notebook in front of Gu Lu was already filled with dense formulas and symbols.

Gu Lu's eyes slowly swept over the circled keywords on the notebook, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.

'Dirichlet's Prime Number Theorem', 'Eurich's Theorem', 'Prime Number Distribution Formula', 'Bombieri-Vinogradov' Theorem'......

Several keywords are concatenated together.

In front of Gu Lu, a new door is opening!

The corners of Gu Lu's mouth raised slightly.

Inspiration comes quietly!

Gu Lu raised his pen and wrote four big characters in the blank space of the notebook - Chen's theorem!

At this time, Konstantin, who was standing on the stage, had already finished the elaboration session.

"As for whether the conjecture of equal difference prime is true in the case of K equals odd number, I have not yet proved it. But don't worry, trust me, that day won't be long!"

Konstantin said this with great certainty.

This sentence is enough to show how conceited Konstantin is.

However, as a new Filipino Award winner, he has the confidence to be conceited.

The people did not doubt him either.

In their opinion, since Konstantin had completed half of the proof of the conjecture of equal difference primes, it was only a matter of time before the remaining half was completed.

Half a year, or three months? Or maybe even less.

In any case, everyone has expected that the conjecture of equal difference prime is already in Constantine's bag.

Konstantin is a Filipino Award winner.

In this case, no one should be unwise enough to openly fight with Konstantin.

Konstantin glanced at the audience with a flat gaze, and the expression on his face was still indifferent.

Now let's enter the question session, if you have a question, you can raise your hand to ask a question. ”

After Gu Lu heard this, he quickly raised his hand.

There is a question, Gu Lu is very curious, he needs to ask this Konstantin.

Simon, who was in a position away, turned his head and glanced at Gu Lu in surprise.

Gu Lu raised his hand very high, but Konstantin did not lift Gu Lu's sign.

Instead, a Swedish mathematician was called up to ask questions.

2nd place, 3rd place......

Konstantin answered questions from five mathematicians in a row.

At this time, there is only one minute left before the end of the one-hour report.

"Time is running out, one last question. ”

Konstantin's gaze searched around, and then his gaze fell on an extremely handsome young man in the fourth row of the conference room who raised his hand.

"There are still such handsome people in our math world. ”

Konstantin muttered in a low voice, and then pointed at Gu Lu, "Just this gentleman." ”

The microphone was passed to Gu Lu's hand.

And the camera in the conference room was aimed at Gu Lu.

So, when Gu Lu's handsome appearance appeared on the big screen, there were bursts of exclamations at the scene.

Although Gu Lu is now quite famous in the mathematical world.

But only a few people have seen Gu Lu's appearance.

Therefore, when Gu Lu's appearance was projected on the big screen, many mathematicians thought that Gu Lu was a star found by the organizers of Huaguo.

It's not that everyone doesn't believe that Gu Lu is a mathematician.

is Gu Lu's appearance, which is more than one grade higher than the average appearance in the mathematics world.

Later, after popularizing science among colleagues who had seen Gu Lu's appearance, everyone knew that this handsome and excessively young man turned out to be the Chinese mathematician who had been in the limelight recently-Gu Lu.

Seeing that everyone in the audience was talking and the scene was noisy, Konstantin's face was a little ugly.

At the same time, Konstantin faintly regretted it.

I really owe it just now, and I have nothing to do when I'm idle.

It's good now that all of his limelight has been stolen by this Chinese mathematician named Gu Lu.

He's the main character, okay!

Konstantin glanced at Gu Lu, who was holding the microphone and smiling, glanced at him.

"What's wrong with you?"

Konstantin is very upset right now, so the tone is not very good.

Gu Lu said softly, "I would like to ask Professor Constantine, have you ever tried to use Chen's theorem when tackling the conjecture of equal difference primes. ”

"Chen's theorem?" Konstantin subconsciously frowned.
