Chapter 365: Something Big

Chapter 365

Gu Lu and Simon made an official announcement on their respective Twitter accounts.

At the same time, it confirmed that the grapevine was indeed true!

Gu Lu and Simon are really ready to work together to overcome the narrow Hodge conjecture!

I have to say that this is beyond many people's expectations.

Many mathematicians have made predictions about Gu's research plan for the next stage.

The content of the predictions is varied.

But no one would have thought that Gu Lu would put the goal of the next stage of work on the narrow Hodge conjecture.

Still with Simon.

Hodge's conjecture is known as one of the seven great problems of the millennial world, and there is a reason for it.

The difficulty of the Hodge conjecture is partly due to the extreme abstraction of the conjecture.

Countless well-known mathematicians throughout history have failed in this conjecture.

Among them, there are several Philippine award bigwigs!

Now, Gu Lu and Simon have publicly announced that they are attacking the narrow Hodge conjecture.

To be honest, everyone is not optimistic.

Even though Gu Lu and Simon are both popular candidates for the next Fields Medal, they still look extremely immature in the face of a behemoth like Hodge's conjecture.

Even, the two may waste too much time on the Hodge conjecture and lose their qualifications for the next Fields Medal.

In the outside world, mathematicians who are puzzled by this behavior of the two occupy the majority.

Simon and Gu Lu represent two of the best mathematicians in the young generation of mathematicians in the field of mathematics today.

The two of them are combined, and in fact, most of the problems can be easily solved.

But the Hodge conjecture is one of the few exceptions.

Everyone couldn't figure out which topic Gu Lu and Simon couldn't work together to solve, so they had to pick Hodge's guess and gnaw on the hardest bone.

This operation is very unwise!

But then again, if the two really work together to prove the narrow Hodge conjecture, then the next International Congress of Mathematicians, the two places for the Fields Medal will be certain!

Almost in just one day, the mathematical community expressed their opinions on Gu Lu and Simon's cooperation to overcome the Hodge conjecture.

Gu Lu's nature of having a topic even made the news spread outside the circle.

on domestic and foreign websites.

Many popular research enthusiasts or cloud mathematicians have also begun to discuss this topic.

Those who sing good and those who sing bad have their own opinions.

Of course, most people are on the sidelines.

After all, in the eyes of everyone, Gu Lu has always been an existence that is good at creating miracles.

Everyone did not rush to conclusions.

I was afraid that when the results came out, I would be slapped in the face by Gu Lu.

…………

Switzerland.

ETH Zurich.

Konstantin taught at this school.

ETH Zurich's Faculty of Mathematics can be said to be the face of the Swedish mathematics community, and has been firmly in the top 10 in the world university rankings.

And Konstantin can be called the face of ETH Zurich's Faculty of Mathematics.

At the age of 36, he held the Philippine Prize and stood at the top of the pyramid of mathematics.

This is an achievement that only a handful of people in the history of the Federal University of Zurich have achieved.

Due to the time difference, when the outside world was boiling about the news of Gu Lu Simon's cooperation, Konstantin had just come to the office after breakfast.

Konstantin's office is located on the top floor of the office building, a room that is extremely spacious.

At the desk, there is a bookshelf.

The shelves are filled with trophies, certificates, and medals for various awards.

The Wiblen Prize, which represents the highest award in the field of geometry and topology.

The Kohl Number Theory Prize, the highest award in the field of number theory.

The Kohl Algebra Prize, which represents the highest award in the field of algebra.

The most prestigious European Mathematical Society prize in Europe.

and the Fields Medal, which is placed on the top of the bookshelf and represents the laurels of mathematics.

It can be said that Konstantin has already won all the world-class awards he can win at his age.

However, Konstantin, who has received numerous honors, is not in a good mood now.

Since being put on a table by Gu Lu at the International Congress of Mathematicians some time ago, Konstantin has been in a depressed and regretful mood in his heart, and he can't get out of it for a long time.

It's finally getting a little better these days.

A few days ago, Konstantin had just returned to China from the Clay Institute of Mathematics in the United States.

After seeing Gu Lu's strong strength in the study class, Konstantin's desire to defeat and conquer it was even more aroused, and Gu Lu was pressed to the ground and rubbed fiercely.

But I have never had a chance.

In the past few days since returning home, Konstantin has been thinking about new topics.

Originally, according to the plan, Konstantin was going to carry out the proof of the other half of the conjecture of equal difference prime numbers after the International Congress of Mathematicians.

However......

Everyone knows the situation.

The other half of the conjecture of equal difference prime was proved by Gu Lu.

Konstantin had no choice but to prepare for a new project.

"Gu Lu!" As soon as he thought of this, Konstantin formed a fist with his right hand, slammed it on the table, gritted his teeth fiercely, and spit out these two words in his mouth.

Since Konstantin became famous, he has rarely fallen, and most of the time he has been crushed all the way by virtue of his strength.

The conjecture of equal difference prime numbers was the only one that Konstantin had been frustrated in recent years!

And that deep powerless frustration!

Konstantin exhaled lightly and forced himself to calm down.

The most urgent task at the moment is to select a topic for solving new issues.

Konstantin thought for a while, but didn't find any clue, so he was bored and bored on the forum to brush up on the post.

Naturally, I noticed the post marked in red at the top.

Usually, Konstantin is generally dismissive of this kind of post, but when he saw Gu Lu in the title name, Konstantin almost clicked in.

Konstantin's gaze moves over the lines of content.

Gradually, Konstantin's casual gaze became extremely serious.

Dozens of seconds later, Konstantin finished reading the entire post, leaned back in his chair, and let out a long breath.

Gradually, a sneer appeared on Konstantin's face.

He sneered, "Narrow Hodge conjecture, interesting, interesting!"

"Gu Lu, I didn't expect you to be so bold, I really underestimated your courage!"

"In that case, let's compete in an honest manner, and I want mathematicians all over the world to know who is the first person of the younger generation!"

Konstantin was worried about what the new topic would study, but he didn't expect Gu Lu to come to the door like this.

Konstantin was almost ready to laugh heartily now.

"Gu Lu, you sent it to the door yourself, don't blame me!" Konstantin's smile became even colder.

Suddenly, Konstantin, who seemed to have thought of something, took his mobile phone out of his pocket and dialed a number.

The phone is connected.

"Hey, Carl, are you interested, make a big deal with me!"
