Chapter 714: Unique
Chapter 714
Thereupon.
Things were decided with ease.
Gu Lu's paper on the 'Geometry-Algebra-Topology Grand Unification Theory' will be jointly published by the four major journals.
But.
Before that, there is one more thing to do.
That is to complete the verification of the paper.
After all, only a paper that has been verified and proven to be correct will be eligible for publication.
Gu Lu's original plan was for the four major journals to work together to complete the verification process.
But the idea turned out to be a bit whimsical.
The four major periodicals are the existence of the gods.
Although on the surface the relationship is very good.
But in fact, the four journals can't wait to pinch up as soon as they meet.
Co-publish this paper by Gu Lu, which is no problem.
However, when it comes to cooperating in the verification of papers, the people who have looked up and looked down for a while live under the same roof as the other three journals, and the four major journals are unwilling to say anything.
Gu Lu was also worried that the four major journals might fight when they met, so after learning that none of the four major journals agreed to this proposal, he didn't force it anymore.
Merely......
Although the four major journals did not agree to Gu Lu's proposal to cooperate in verification, all four promised that they would complete the verification of the paper in the shortest possible time.
Gu Lu agreed, agreeing that the four major journals would fight their own battles.
However, Gu Lu's request is that the four major journals should try to complete the verification of the paper by the middle of next month.
Because in mid-April.
Gu Lu's report meeting is about to be officially held.
Gu Lu didn't want to wait for the time when his report was held, and the 'geometry-algebra-topology grand unified theory' had not yet been recognized by the mathematical community.
Verification work, or as soon as possible!
In the face of Gu Lu's request, the four major journals all patted their chests and assured that there was no problem.
In particular, Macron, the editor-in-chief of "New Advances in Mathematics", said that their magazine had already convened all the reviewers in the fields of geometry, algebra, and topology last night to form a review team and devote themselves to the verification work.
In addition, the journal "New Advances in Mathematics" also sent a letter of assistance to the European Mathematical Society, and seconded a group of mathematicians to join the review team.
Gu Lu praised Macron's editor-in-chief for 'doing a good job', and ended the chat with the four major journals.
............
Twelve hours after Gu Lu uploaded that paper to Arxiv.
The number of comments below the paper is already approaching a thousand.
And the number of views has reached more than 50,000.
Let's be honest.
Although Gu Lu's paper has reached more than 50,000 views in just twelve hours.
But, basically, most mathematicians just read the first few pages of the abstract and glance at the table of contents before quitting.
There is no other reason.
Most mathematicians don't have the time and energy, let alone the courage, to finish Gu Lu's 840-page paper.
I don't even have the courage to read it once, let alone verify the theory in it.
Twelve hours passed.
The hearts of the people have been decided.
It is completely unrealistic to rely solely on individual strength to verify the theory described by Gu Lu in this paper.
Only by the official institutions will do the work.
Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.
At 11:30 a.m. Yenching time, New Advances in Mathematics updated its official website to announce that its journal had successfully formed a review team in cooperation with the European Mathematical Society, and had been involved in the verification of Gu Lu's paper.
There are a total of 21 members of the review panel, including two winners of the Philippine Prize, three Cole Algebra Prizes, three Wiblen Prizes, and five European Mathematical Society Prizes.
The announcement of "New Advances in Mathematics" made the already boiling lake even more turbulent.
Before the crowd has fully digested it.
Half an hour later.
Huaguo Yanjing time, the "Annals of Mathematics" was unwilling to update a similar announcement on its official website, and set up a review team to verify Gu Lu's paper.
Moreover.
In terms of the luxury of the review panel, it is not inferior to the side of "New Advances in Mathematics", and even wins.
There are three winners of the Philippine Prize, and more than a dozen winners of other world-class mathematics awards.
So many top mathematicians in mathematics have come together for one thing: to validate papers!
In order to form this extremely high evaluation group, the "Annals of Mathematics" basically used blood money.
The Annals of Mathematics is backed by Princeton University.
And this time.
Dean Letz brought back all the Princeton alumni who are currently well-known in the mathematical community, focusing on geometry, algebra, and topology, and used a lot of relationships and favors.
As for the Journal of the Mathematical Society of the United States, which is one of the four major journals, the review team lineup is also good.
The Journal of the Mathematical Society of the United States was originally undertaken by the Mathematical Society of the United States, and there are not a few mathematicians who can use it, and this time it chose to cooperate with the current world's first mathematical research institute - Clay Institute of Mathematics, which is not as simple as one plus one equals two.
With such a configuration, it is not too easy to form a review team.
After counting it in this way, the lineup of the Swedish "Acta Mathematica Sinica", one of the four major journals, is the most 'simple'.
However, this simplicity is only relative.
It is more than enough to take out the members of the review team of Acta Mathematica Sinica and hold a medium-sized academic exchange meeting.
............
The four major journals announced the formation of a review team in a high-profile manner in no particular order to verify Gu Lu's paper.
As soon as this news came out, it shocked many mathematicians who ate melons.
If it were just one of the four major journals, they wouldn't feel that way.
But all four of the four major journals at that time!
The four major journals represent absolute authority and transcendent strength in the mathematical community.
Arguably.
The four journals are incomparably sacred in the minds of many mathematicians.
And this time......
In the face of the theory of geometry-algebra-topology, the four major journals seem to have bowed their proud heads.
Carry out verification work.
That means that it will be officially included in the journal's repository.
However, the four journals agreed to form a review panel to carry out verification.
It is obvious that the four major journals will jointly publish Gu Lu's paper.
It is not uncommon for several journals to publish a paper together.
But the four major journals jointly published the same paper.
It seems......
It is unique in the entire history of mathematics!
This is just one example!
Think of it this way.
Everyone had to be impressed by Gu Lu's strength again.
