Chapter 449: Shock and Controversy
Chapter 449
It's March 28th.
It is worth noting that Gu Lu did not just submit that paper to the Annals of Mathematics.
And, in order to prevent Konstantin from being killed and not admitting his account, Gu Lu also uploaded a preprint of the paper to Arxiv.
The time when Gu Lu uploaded the preprint of the paper on Arxiv was late at night for European and American countries.
But the mathematician is a creature that has the attributes of a night owl.
There are not a few people who stay up late.
Therefore, some people finish their tired work in the middle of the night, wash up and lie comfortably in bed, holding the tablet and opening Arxiv, ready to brush up on the paper and go to sleep.
But......
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for many scholars.
As mentioned before, on the Arxiv paper preprint website, there are not a few people who follow Gu Lu's account.
Especially after uploading a paper on the physics of wide bandgap semiconductors here last year, its followers have skyrocketed from more than 10,000 to nearly 20,000 now.
This is already a very high number.
It's almost the same as Simon.
But Gu Lu's fans have grown from a dozen to the current number, and it has only taken less than a year.
Of course, the number of followers on this site doesn't mean much.
However, in conclusion, there are many people who pay attention to Gu Lu in Arxiv.
As a result, many night owl mathematicians log on to Arxiv only to have a message pop up on their website saying that an author they follow has uploaded a new paper.
Just in the beginning.
Everyone thought it was a mathematician on their watchlist who had uploaded a new paper.
As for who this mathematician is, it is not clear.
They had thought of many possibilities in their minds, but the only thing they hadn't thought would be Gu Lu.
This kind of message basically pops up every time you log in.
People have long been accustomed to it.
Some people ignore this message and choose their favorite module to browse through other mathematicians' articles.
Others choose to click in.
And these mathematicians who chose to click in, looking at the content presented on the screen interface in front of them, their eyes instantly widened!
Oh my God, what did they see!
The people who uploaded the paper were not the mathematicians they had assumed.
And Gu Lu, who no one expected.
I recall that the last time Gu Lu uploaded a paper on Arxiv was in December last year.
It's only been a long time, just over three months.
Everyone didn't expect Gu Lu to come out so quickly.
At this time, everyone did not think about the narrow Hodge conjecture.
Because the paper uploaded by Gu Lu on Arxiv is an article in the field of physics.
This time.
They subconsciously believe that Gu Lu's latest paper is still an article in the field of physics.
But they're mathematicians!
Pure physics papers are simply incomprehensible.
So everyone was going to glance at the question and quit, and then go to the math section to find some articles to read.
But when their eyes fall on the topic of the paper, it is difficult to take their eyes off again.
Proof of the Special Hodge Conjecture Based on Harmonic Differential Forms in Nonsingular Projective Algebraic Clusters!
Narrow...... Narrow Hodge conjecture!
Boom!
They swallowed hard.
Then the heart beat violently.
An inexplicable fear came to their hearts.
"How is this possible, how could the narrow Hodge conjecture be proven so quickly, this is completely unscientific!!" someone questioned.
But the scene in front of them told them that all this was true.
Gu Lu and Simon really completed the proof work of the narrow Hodge conjecture.
Otherwise, this paper would definitely not appear here.
Some people can't wait to click in after a few seconds of stunned attention.
There is a preface, an abstract, and a bibliography attached.
All aspects show that this is a highly completed paper, and it is not that everyone is thinking about it because Gu Lu accidentally uploaded it wrong.
After a brief glance at the content of Gu Lu's article and seeing that the paper was more than 300 pages long, some mathematicians immediately lost the battle and stopped studying.
Instead, you immediately exit, go to the main interface of the paper, and click on the comments below.
Really......
The paper has just been uploaded for less than half an hour, and there are already hundreds of comments below.
And it's already a mess.
"I ...... I'm not mistaken! Professor Gu Lu and Professor Simon really proved the narrow Hodge conjecture!"
"Upstairs, you are paying attention to the wrong point, Gu Lu and Simon, two genius mathematicians, have cooperated to prove that although the narrow Hodge conjecture is not easy to say, it is still okay to be more than fifty percent sure. But the crux of the matter is...... It only took them half a year, half a year!! That sounds like a fantasy!"
"It's unbelievable, half a year to prove the narrow Hodge conjecture, if the derivation process of this paper is really correct, then this is enough to be called a miracle in contemporary mathematics!"
"Since Gu Lu dares to upload it here, it means that he has a great grasp of the quality of this paper! I guess it's probably true!"
"This is not necessarily! Gu Lu is not a god, although half a year to prove the narrow Hodge conjecture sounds a bit too mysterious, but if there are loopholes in this article itself, it is a complete joke!!
"Above, are you questioning a mathematician who has published four world-class results in a row in just one year?"
"I'm not questioning, I'm just discussing a possibility. We don't know the character of Professor Gu Lu, who knows, is he just taking a defective paper to tease us! Anyway, before the verification results come out, I don't believe that Gu Lu can solve the narrow Hodge conjecture in just half a year!"
"Hehe, upstairs bar spirit, stone hammer!"
"Ahem, this time Professor Gu didn't post a paper related to semiconductors, then I'm sorry, I'm on the set, you continue to argue. (At this time, a physicist in the field of semiconductors passed by silently)"
The comment area below the paper has become noisy.
The topic of discussion is the authenticity of Gu Lu's paper.
Some people support Gu Lu, and some people look down on Gu Lu.
The two sides faced off like this.
But no one talked about validating papers.
Because according to the level of this paper, it is not at all what their group of people is capable of verifying.
This at least requires a mathematician with the same strength as Gu Lu Simon.
And that group of mathematicians, on the other hand, rarely appeared on Arxiv.
So the two of them could only quarrel here, and nothing else could be done.
"Anyway, can any of you inform Professor Constantine about them? I think it would be better to let them know about this news as soon as possible. ”
Someone silently typed this sentence in the comment area.
And at this time, everyone realized that Konstantin was also one of the protagonists of this big drama.
