Chapter 234

The three-day holiday is over.

Still in that office, Gu Lu reassigned the tasks to Bi Qi and the others.

Now, Gu Lu is riveting all his strength to perfect the fourth piece of the puzzle.

It's a race against time.

Gu Lu didn't know the progress of Simon's side.

But presumably, even if Simon is ahead of his progress, he may not be too far ahead.

Gu Lu's overall proof progress has been above 80%.

If Simon is too far ahead of him, it means that Simon's side is almost complete with the proof of the BAB conjecture.

And now it has only been more than three months since the opening time of the two.

Three months successfully proved the BAB conjecture, and this efficiency, even in Gu Lu's opinion, is still quite exaggerated.

Anyway, Gu Lu thought that he couldn't do it now.

…………

Simon's progress certainly isn't so exaggerated.

In fact, in Simon's original plan, it was planned to spend more than five months to prove the BAB conjecture.

The International Congress of Mathematicians was held in September.

Simon only needs to make sure that the results of the research are published before the International Congress of Mathematicians.

At that time, with some mathematical results published in previous years, coupled with the BAB conjecture this time, Simon is fully capable of challenging for this year's Fields Medal.

Even, without much surprise, getting a Fields Medal medal is not a problem.

So Simon's research momentum is extremely high.

Three months on, Simon has achieved a series of quite encouraging results.

As of now, Simon needs to achieve 60% of the schedule.

But Simon has exceeded his target and is now 65% on track for his overall research.

It's 5% faster than expected.

Different from Gu Lu, Gu Lu uses the minimum model program as the starting point to prove the BAB conjecture.

But Simon used another set of proofs to overcome the BAB conjecture.

Just like a problem, Gu Lu and Simon used two different solutions.

In fact, due to the different solutions, in terms of overall progress, Gu Lu is faster than Simon.

But Simon proved the three-dimensional BAB conjecture, that is, the weak BAB conjecture, before Gu Lu.

The weak BAB conjecture is simply a simplified version of the BAB conjecture.

Simon and Gu Lu completed the proof of the weak BAB conjecture one after the other.

The weak BAB conjecture was successfully proven, and once announced, it would be enough to cause a seismic shock in the entire field of algebraic geometry.

And as a provers of the weak BAB conjecture, you will definitely reap a lot of fame and fortune.

But the two of them both chose to keep it secret.

Simon's reason for choosing this is simple.

Simply proving the weak BAB conjecture is not enough to give Simon the chips to attack the Fields Medal.

Only the complete version of the high-dimensional BAB conjecture can be demonstrated.

And once Simon published a paper that successfully proved the weak BAB conjecture.

Simon wondered if anyone would be inspired by his paper to complete the proof of the BAB conjecture before he did.

To put it simply, Simon is afraid of being cut off halfway!

After all, for some mathematicians, the difference between a weak BAB conjecture and a BAB conjecture is just a kick in the door.

In the field of algebraic geometry, among the younger generation of mathematicians, Simon can be said to be able to surpass himself, but there are also the older generation of mathematicians!

Although the research status of the older generation of mathematicians is getting worse and worse, it is still not to be underestimated.

Simon has always been in awe of this group of people.

No one can say whether this group of old men will be inspired by his paper to complete the proof of the BAB conjecture before they do.

Once that happens, it's a complete tragedy.

Simon didn't dare to bet, the profit from winning the bet was very small, and he was not bad at that fame now, but once he lost the bet, the Fields Medal was completely hopeless.

Simon didn't want to shoot himself in the foot.

As for someone who will rush ahead of himself, the results of the proof of the weak BAB conjecture will be published.

Simon hadn't thought of that at all.

The weak BAB conjecture existed not for a year or two, but for more than twenty years.

But after such a long time, the weak BAB conjecture has not been proven.

In about two months, the full version of the BAB conjecture will be proven by itself.

When the time comes, the weak BAB conjecture and the proof process of the BAB conjecture will be published together, and a big one will be made!

Anyway, more than 20 years have passed, and it's not bad for the last two months.

It has to be said that Simon's logic is correct.

But I'm afraid he didn't expect that in the far east, there was another mathematician who was not weaker than him, who was also working on the BAB conjecture.

And it's even faster than him.

…………

It's the end of June.

The research work of the research group is still proceeding in an orderly manner.

After that painstaking meditation, Gu Lu found a way to generalize the Fano cluster from three-dimensional to high-dimensional, and the subsequent work can only be described as smooth.

After three months of training, the growth of the three Biqi is rapid.

Especially Bi Qi and Ma Zhengxuan.

The improvement of mathematics special ability is enough to be described as visible to the naked eye.

All the courses of the undergraduate mathematics major, Bi Qi and Ma Zhengxuan can control it with ease.

Compared with the average senior graduate, it is not much worse.

Since the research topic BAB conjecture is in the field of geometry, the two of them have read a lot of professional books in the direction of geometry in the past three months.

In Wang Genji's words, if the two want to say that they are graduate students in geometry, I'm afraid no one will doubt it at all.

In fact, for Bi Qi and Ma Zhengxuan's rapid progress, Wang Genji was dumbfounded.

Are all the current undergraduates so strong?

Wang Genji has a feeling of being abandoned by the times.

Wang Genji still clearly remembers that when Gu Lu assigned the first task to each of the three of them, Bi Qi and Ma Zhengxuan looked clumsy and helpless.

It was a head-to-toe unnaturalness.

For the first task, Bi Qi did it for five days before handing it over, and Ma Zhengxuan had to be slower by one day.

But now......

If Bi Qi and Ma Zhengxuan were asked to do the first task again, Wang Genji could guarantee that the two of them would definitely not be able to complete it in a day.

Seeing the rapid progress of the two primary school brothers, Wang Genji didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

I think that at the beginning, when I first joined the research group, I just recognized it as a grass platform team, which was not reliable at all.

But in the past three months, the performance of Gu Lu and Biqi Ma Zhengxuan, the three masters and apprentices, has refreshed Wang Jiji's cognition again and again.

Needless to say, Bi Qi and Ma Zhengxuan are completely two little demons, one is too talented, and the other is diligent and makes Wang Jiji embarrassed.

And Gu Lu, as the leader of the research group, made Wang Genji reacquaint himself with this teacher Gu.

As the research work continued, Wang Genji realized that perhaps this teacher Gu of the same age as him really had hope and proved the BAB conjecture!

24 years old, proving the BAB conjecture.

Wang Genji didn't know if he was crazy or the world was crazy!
