Chapter 258

It's August.

Gu Lu's article "Proof of the BAB Conjecture" was published in the August issue of New Advances in Mathematics.

Even, on the cover of the journal, a special space was set aside for the promotion of this paper.

It's just that the slogan is more speechless.

"Shocked! Twenty-four-year-old Chinese mathematician did such a heart-wrenching thing"

It can be imagined how painful Gu Lu's heart hurt when he saw this title.

According to the usual practice, the editor-in-chief of Macron mailed Gu Lu five copies of the latest issue of "New Advances in Mathematics".

In addition to leaving a copy for your own collection.

Of the remaining four books, Gu Lu gave one to the senior brother Bao Songquan, the other to the teacher Ji Changyi, and the other two to the two teachers in the same office.

The BAB conjecture proved to be a cause for heat, and as time went on, half a month has passed now, and the heat has gradually dissipated.

With the official publication of Gu Lu's paper in "New Advances in Mathematics", the popularity of this topic has risen again.

Gu Lu's fame has become a unique presence in the entire field of algebraic geometry.

After all, the proof of the BAB conjecture is too significant for the field of algebraic geometry.

So to speak.

Even if Gu Lu did not achieve any further results in the field of mathematics in the future, the item of "proving the BAB conjecture" alone was enough for Gu Lu to be remembered in the annals of history!

However, due to the approaching International Congress of Mathematicians, the mathematicians who received the invitation letter are preparing for the International Congress of Mathematicians, a four-year event of the international mathematical community.

As a result, the heat about the "BAB conjecture proven" event lasted again for a week before the heat subsided.

However, it is in this context that another new piece of news has shifted the attention of many mathematicians to the BAB conjecture again.

On August 8, Simon Dix, a professor at the University of Bonn, Germany, announced on his personal blog that the BAB conjecture had been proved!

The mathematicians who heard the news were stunned.

Didn't the BAB guess be proved by a young Chinese mathematician a month ago?

Many mathematicians have this doubt.

Soon, however, their doubts were answered.

It turned out that in March of this year, Simona's Chinese mathematician was working on the BAB conjecture at about the same time.

The two are faintly in a competitive relationship.

Of course, who wins and loses in this competition, the result is clear.

Gu Lu won, Simon lost.

Therefore, Gu Lu has become the first certifier of the BAB conjecture and will surely go down in the annals of celebrity history.

Simon, on the other hand, was expected to give up on the follow-up proof of the BAB conjecture.

After all, no one would think that a genius like Simon would accept a second place.

But it seems that Simon did not choose to give up, but to finish well and complete the proof of the BAB conjecture.

Even so, the BAB conjecture at this time is no longer the BAB conjecture, but ...... BAB theorem!

Simon doesn't seem to have the idea of publishing the paper in major journals.

None of the four major journals have received submissions from Simon.

However, Simon uploaded his paper on ArXiv.

The title of the paper is "Another Proof of the BAB Conjecture"!

Everyone can imagine how Simon will grit his teeth when he knocks out the title name.

As the title says.

Simon's sixty-page paper is about another method of proving the BAB conjecture.

The other is completely different from the proof method of Gu Law!

Gu Lu uses the method of deriving and transforming the program of the minimameter.

Simon, on the other hand, derives from the essence and nature of the Fano cluster step by step.

Many mathematicians sighed as they read Simon's paper.

Sure enough, Simon is still the same Simon.

The quality of the papers, as always, is of a high level!

Compared with the several papers that have been praised in the past few years, it is not inferior in any way, and even faintly improved.

There are no bells and whistles, there are some, just a lot of ingenuity!

But, it's a pity!

The more perfect Simon's paper is, the more pity it becomes.

Because no matter how perfect Simon's paper is, it can't hide a fact:

The first prover of the BAB conjecture is Gu Lu, not Simon!

Among Gu Lu's mathematical achievements, there can be the item "proving the BAB conjecture".

But Simon, at best, is "another proof of the BAB conjecture".

These two are not the same concept at all.

In everyone's minds, Simon's image is inevitably added to some tragedy.

As a result, after the popularity of the conjecture of "proving the BAB conjecture", the popularity of another incident gradually increased, and it became the topic of conversation among many mathematicians after dinner.

#心疼西蒙#

If there is a hot search list of topics in the mathematics world, then the topic of #distressed Simon# must be on the list!

Simon's original impression in everyone's hearts was that he was talented and invincible.

But almost overnight.

Simon becomes an untimely and tragic figure.

When Simon himself learned about this, he was so angry that he almost vomited three liters of blood on the spot!

I'm not that miserable yet, okay!

Although Simon can indeed be called a loss to his wife and a soldier this time, it is not as miserable as everyone described after making up for it.

What is sluggish, depressed and unhappy, borrowing alcohol to kill sorrows, fighting spirit is nothing, and there is no one in particular!

Simon is now full of fighting spirit.

I can't wait to compete with Gu Lu!

Gu Lu is a very strong opponent!

This time, after being successfully cut off by Gu Lu due to carelessness, Simon came to such a conclusion.

That Simon doesn't mean he's weaker than Gu Lu.

In the last defeat, Simon admitted that he was underestimated.

Otherwise, it is not yet known who will kill the deer!

Simon leaned back in his office chair, playing with the invitation to the International Congress of Mathematicians in his hand, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Gu Lu, we'll meet soon!"

............

Hua Guo, Yenching University.

The School of Mathematics of Yan University has become busy due to the convening of the International Congress of Mathematicians.

In particular, mathematicians like Gu Lu, who have obtained the qualifications to participate in the conference, have to run to the International Conference Center at two ends in three days.

At the same time, Gu Lu also had to prepare the content of the conference report.

Just a few days ago, the list of invited speakers for this International Congress of Mathematicians has been announced.

Gu Lu's name is impressively listed.

Gu Lu was qualified to give a 45-minute presentation in a subject breakout session.

As for the higher-level one-hour academic conference, Gu Lu is not qualified to get involved.

This year's International Congress of Mathematicians, like the previous one, has a total of 20 invited speakers to give one-hour presentations.

Among these 20, five are previous Fields Medal winners, three are Wolf Medal winners, and six are strong contenders for this year's Fields Medal, while the remaining seven are all standing at the top of the pyramid in the entire mathematical community.
