Chapter 242: Verification Begins!
Chapter 242
There is no imaginary contempt.
Macron has always attached enough importance to Gu Lu, a newly rising genius in recent years.
Although, everything in front of him does somewhat refresh the cognition of Macron's editor-in-chief.
As the editor-in-chief of "New Advances in Mathematics", Macron's attainments in the field of mathematics are not as good as those mathematicians at the level of bulls, but at least he has the level of a mathematics professor.
Therefore, after reading the title of Gu Lu's paper, Macron had such a shocked expression on his face.
The BAB conjecture, one of the most famous conjectures in the field of algebraic geometry!
As the editor-in-chief of a magazine that deals with mathematics all year round, Macron is naturally no stranger to this conjecture.
The difficulty of the BAB conjecture is clear to the editor-in-chief Macron.
How many amazing mathematicians have challenged this conjecture for decades, but the result?
The BAB guess is still there.
And many of those mathematicians, many of whom have long since turned into a handful of loess.
Now tell the editor-in-chief of Macron, the BAB conjecture has been overcome, or by a young man who is only twenty-four years old!
To be honest, Macron's first reaction was to think that today was April Fool's Day.
But today is not April Fool's Day, and the young mathematician of twenty-four years old is not unknown.
Gu Lu, the Chinese mathematician who made his mark as a mathematician last year by solving two major problems in the program of extremely small models.
Macron's editor-in-chief has long paid attention to Gu Lu.
At the same time, considerable attention was paid to it.
Macron gave an evaluation of Gu Lu's great potential, and believed that in a few years, he will definitely become a man of the year in the international mathematical community.
However, to Macron's editor-in-chief, it was not necessary to wait for a few years later, how long had passed, and before a year had passed, Gu Lu had researched a new result.
Successfully prove the world-level conjecture, the BAB conjecture!
Once Gu's proof process is verified to be correct, it will be enough to cause a great earthquake in the field of algebraic geometry, nay, even the entire geometry community!
Whew-Whewββ!
The editor-in-chief of Macron took a few deep breaths.
The look of surprise on his face subsided, and Macron's mood gradually calmed down.
Even if there is a deep disbelief in his heart, the editor-in-chief of Macron chooses to believe it.
Choose to believe in Gu Lu!
Macron's editor-in-chief realized that this was an opportunity.
An opportunity to compete with the Annals of Mathematics.
Once Gu Lu, a young mathematician from China, really succeeds in proving the BAB conjecture, and then publishes and publicizes it in their "New Advances in Mathematics", it will definitely attract a wave of great attention.
"Gu Lu, don't let me down!"
Macron's editor-in-chief looked at the computer screen and muttered softly.
Then, without any hesitation, Macron's editor-in-chief picked up the phone on his desk and dialed a number.
"Erin, contact the three professors, Aiken, Disica, and Alder, and ask them to come to my office. β
"Yes, sir, I'll get in touch right away. β
Macron's editor-in-chief said that Aiken, Disica, and Alder are all senior reviewers of New Advances in Mathematics, mainly responsible for reviewing manuscripts in the field of geometry.
Macron's editor-in-chief brought these three for a simple purpose, that is, to verify the correctness of this paper as soon as possible.
New Advances in Mathematics. β
"Papers?" Professor Aiken frowned, "What kind of papers, need to be reviewed by the three of us together." β
"One article...... Very important paper!" Macron's gaze gradually became serious.
Then, Macron turned the computer screen to the three and gestured, "This is the paper!"
"Proof of the BAB conjecture?" Professor Aiken looked at the screen in a surprised tone.
The author is...... Chinese?" Next to him, Professor Disica frowned.
"Gu Lu, this name feels very familiar inexplicably. Aldermor rubbed his chin and spoke softly.
On the other side, Macron's editor-in-chief explained to the three professors, "Three, this paper was indeed sent to me by a Chinese mathematician, and his name is Gu Lu. That's right, it was the Chinese mathematician who solved the two major problems of the minimalist program last year. β
When Macron's editor-in-chief explained, Professor Aiken was already controlling the mouse and browsing Gu Lu's paper paragraph by piece.
And as time passed, Professor Aiken's gaze became more and more solemn.
Suddenly, Professor Aiken looked up and met Macron's gaze, "Editor-in-chief Macron, we need a quiet room!"
Macron's editor-in-chief looked happy, "I'll arrange it right away." β
"Three professors, this matter, please leave it to you!" Macron bowed to the three of them.
Professor Aiken and the other three nodded, and then, under the arrangement of Macron's editor-in-chief, the three came to a quiet room.
"Let's get started!"
The three of them looked at each other in unison and began the hectic verification process.
............
A 54-page paper cannot be verified in a short period of time.
But as time went on, the faces of the three professors involved in the verification work did become more and more solemn.
They are more and more aware that the BAB conjecture, a world-class conjecture that has existed for more than 20 years, may indeed be successfully proven!
Because up to now, in Gu Lu's paper, the three of them have not found any logical errors.
At ten o'clock in the evening, the three of them finished the verification of the process of proving the weak BAB conjecture in the paper and entered the verification work of the final part of the paper.
