69. Riemann conjecture

Jiang Shuiyuan struggled with all his strength to find a bloody way to squeeze into his seat. Along the way, he saw many acquaintances, such as Wang Canlong, Han Tingsong, the handsome lecturer in the Department of Mathematics of Jingshi University, and several classmates such as Mei Lin.

When Uncle Ge saw Jiang Shuiyuan coming, he suddenly had a stinky face, as if he owed him five hundred hangings: "The business is very busy!

Jiang Shuiyuan smiled: "I was blocked by someone and collected a toll, but fortunately, my wife pulled out a knife to help." Then again, did the University really get a preprint of Sir Atiya's thesis?"

"Or else?"

"I thought Sir Attia, like Hardy, was going to do something terrible!"

Zhang Jin was confused when he heard it next to him, and asked Jiang Shuiyuan in a low voice: "You, you, what do you mean, yes, what do you mean?"

Jiang Shuiyuan explained: "Hardy, like Sir Attia, is a famous mathematician in the Rotten Kingdom, but he was born relatively early, almost the same age as the father of the nation. He had a strong interest in the Riemann conjecture, and often crossed the sea to Denmark to meet his good friend Bohr, who is the younger brother of the famous physicist Bohr, a professor at the University of the World, to study and discuss the Riemann conjecture together. Once Hardy was in a hurry to return to England, only to find that there was only a small broken boat to ride, when the wind and waves were high, and from Denmark to the country had to cross hundreds of kilometers of sea, the slightest carelessness would be in danger of capsizing. Hardy thought about it and sent Bohr a postcard with the following sentence: 'I have proved the Riemann hypothesis'. ”

"Later, what about later?"

Later, Hardy was unscathed until his death at the age of seventy, and the Riemann conjecture has survived to this day. ”

"He, he, he's bragging?"

Jiang Shuiyuan laughed happily: "What's wrong with bragging? Hardy is not the first to brag on the Riemann conjecture, and he will not be the last. Decades earlier, Stieltjes had claimed to have proved the Riemann hypothesis, and he was stunned by the wise Hermite, a member of the French Academy of Sciences. The result?"

"Huh?!"

Uncle Ge glared at Jiang Shuiyuan fiercely, and then reprimanded: "Don't learn from them in the future! Be a man and be honest in your studies, one is one, two is two, don't fix those vain things, in the end you will harm others and end up harming yourself." You see Stillgers and Hardy are both famous mathematicians, but when you think of them, the first thing that comes to mind is not the Riemann-Stillers integral, the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function, or their contribution to the Riemann conjecture, but their deception. That's a lesson from the past!"

"Yes!" Jiang Shuiyuan and Zhang Jin hurriedly agreed.

Seeing that Uncle Ge didn't seem to be in high spirits, the two stopped talking and waited for the seminar to open.

As Hui Qiongju said, the seminar began quickly. I saw Hui Chengze and four or five young and middle-aged scholars talking and laughing while walking into the conference room and taking their seats on the rostrum. Hui Chengze took the microphone: "First of all, on behalf of the Department of Mathematics of Jingshi University, I welcome everyone to come. Second, say sorry to everyone. When we heard that Sir Attia had released a big satellite, we wanted to hold a small in-house seminar, but we didn't expect everyone to be so enthusiastic, so many people came at once, and many people could only stand. The hospitality is not good, and I hope that Haihan!"

After speaking, Hui Chengze bowed deeply to the audience, and the audience responded with warm and lasting applause.

Hui Chengze continued: "In this seminar, we are fortunate to invite five experts and scholars in Beijing who have in-depth research on logarithmic theory, especially the Riemann conjecture, to explain the Riemann conjecture to us, and to give a preliminary interpretation and judgment of Sir Attia's paper. They are Mr. Bai Zhicheng, researcher of the Institute of Mathematics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and winner of the National Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars, Mr. Su Biqing, professor of the Department of Mathematics of Peking Normal University and winner of the National Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars, Mr. Yuan Li, researcher of the Beijing Center for Computing Science and winner of the National Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars, Dr. Lu Changhai, a famous popular science writer and author of the book "Riemann Conjecture", and Mr. Yi Yiping, associate professor of the Department of Mathematics of Jingshi University and winner of the National Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars. ”

Applause rang out again.

Jiang Shuiyuan's ears were sharp, and he heard someone in the front row read in a tone of envy, jealousy, and hatred: "Jingshi University is really a tyrant! Just a casual internal seminar, three outstanding young people and one excellent young man were found, and almost all the top experts in the direction of number theory research in the capital were wiped out. Is it possible to go to university and do research without coming to the University of the World?"

It was probably his friend on the side: "Who doesn't want to come?

Hui Chengze began to get to the point: "I found that there are many young students here today, as well as many journalists, and everyone may not have a deep understanding of the Riemann conjecture, so let's ask Dr. Lu Changhai to give us a general introduction to what the Riemann conjecture is." ”

Lu Changhai took the microphone and said with a smile: "What is the meaning of the class door to get an axe? I will now talk about the Riemann conjecture in front of Academician Hui and the experts. Fortunately, I am a thick-skinned person, a bold person, and a crazy person, so I will let go of the talk today, and ask the experts to criticize and correct the mistakes. - To tell you the truth, when I was in college, I also had a lot of thoughts about the Riemann conjecture, but I can't help it, the Riemann conjecture is so fascinating! Its simplicity, its perfection, its difficulties, all make people dream. It is said that the famous mathematician Hilbert was once asked: If you could return to the world in 500 years, what would you most like to ask? Hilbert's answer was: I want to ask if someone has solved the Riemann hypothesis?

Saying that, Lu Changhai turned his face to Hui Chengze: "I don't know if Academician Hui has heard of it, there is a joke in the Omi mathematics community, that there is an undergraduate student in the Department of Mathematics who asked the professor: Teacher, what is the easiest way to become a mathematician? The professor thought about it: study the BS formula." The student asked, "What's the most difficult way?" The professor replied, "Prove the Riemann hypothesis." So at that time, I was convinced that if there was only one problem left in the world of mathematics, it would be the Riemann hypothesis. Less than 20 years later, Sir Adiyah gave me a blow in the face. ……”

In Jiang Shuiyuan's view, Lu Changhai may not have any innovation in research, but he can explain the boring Riemann conjecture clearly and interestingly, so that everyone present can listen to it with relish.

Therefore, as a popular science writer, Lu Changhai is still very good.

Lu Changhai spoke for more than 20 minutes, concisely introduced the past and present life of the Riemann conjecture and the progress of the research, and then returned the microphone to Hui Chengze. Hui Chengze expressed his gratitude and said: "Earlier this morning, we got the preprint of Sir Attia's paper, and handed it over to several experts for study before the meeting.

The atmosphere became tense, and everyone fell silent. At that moment, a picture of Lord Atia's paper was shown on the screen in the conference room.
