Seventy, noise and restlessness

The paper is in English, but there is no language barrier for real researchers. {with}{dream} щ{suimеng][lā}

Uncle Ge is like a boy who is in love for the first time when he sees his sweetheart, and all his body and mind are trapped in it. I saw that his body leaned forward sharply, his eyes did not blink, staring firmly at the words on the screen, his brows were slightly furrowed, obviously his brain was nervously and quickly reading, thinking, and analyzing at this moment.

This reminded Jiang Shuiyuan of Alexander the Great.

It is said that when Alexander the Great was young, every time he heard that his father, King Philip II of Macedon, had conquered another piece of land, he would weep bitterly and be depressed: "Didn't my father leave a little land for me to conquer?"

Bai Zhicheng is an ordinary middle-aged man in his forties, and apart from thick black-rimmed glasses and the occasional bright light, he has no other more prominent characteristics. Standing on the podium a little cramped, he first laughed at himself: "When I just got the paper this morning, I couldn't wait to thank Sir Attia, thank him for his courage to challenge the problem that has plagued me for a long time, but first of all, thank him for writing the paper very short! If he wants to write four papers in one breath, with a total length of five or six hundred pages, like the mud bomb mathematician Shinichi Mochizuki solved the AB conjecture, and few people can understand it in five or six years, I will make a big fool standing here today!"

The so-called "listen to the gong and listen to the sound, listen to the sound of the word". When Bai Zhicheng mentioned Atiya, he said "courage to challenge", not "successful cracking", and Jiang Shuiyuan knew that he was not optimistic about Atiya's thesis.

Zhang Jin's English is poor, and he has a little difficulty reading, and from time to time he has to copy the words he doesn't know or the knowledge points he doesn't understand in his small notebook, and he plans to take them back and think about them slowly. Uncle Ge didn't care so much, and after scanning a page, he shouted loudly: "Hurry up and turn the next page!"

Bai Zhicheng was slightly embarrassed: "It seems that I have too much nonsense, and everyone obviously can't wait, so let's go straight to the point! The main body of Sir Artia's paper has five parts, and the first part is the trdut that everyone sees now, that is, the introduction. From this section, we can see that Sir Atia's idea was to solve the Riemann conjecture by understanding the α of fine structure constants in quantum mechanics and applying the mathematical methods developed in the process. But we know that the fine structure constant α an important dimensionless number in physics, which represents the ratio of the speed of electrons in the first Bohr orbit to the speed of light in a vacuum, and a series of experiments have shown that the α is increasing and changing, albeit at a very small rate. But Sir Atia's direct argument that α is fixed is very puzzling to me. ”

Bai Zhicheng immediately changed his words: "Of course, Sir Atiya is also very proficient in physics, and his Atia-Singer indicator theorem, as well as the K theory jointly developed with the German topologist Hitzebruch, are all related to physics. So he argues that the fine structure constant is fixed α, and he may have an original opinion, but it takes time to demonstrate. ”

Zhang Jin heard it in a fog: "This, this is still involved, it involves physics?"

Uncle Ge snorted a few times: "Haven't you heard that mathematics and physics are not separated?" There is a good saying that all physical problems are ultimately mathematical problems, such as the famous Yang-Mills gauge field existence and mass interval assumptions, which are the pots that physicists throw at us. When you enter the university, you will know that methods of mathematical physics and college physics are compulsory courses in the Department of Mathematics. Of course, if you want to go further, it's best to have a double major in physics with a minor. ”

Zhang Jin nodded, indicating that the suggestion had been received.

Uncle Ge glanced at the water source of the river: "The double degree of Chinese and singing is useless!"

"......" Jiang Shuiyuan's face was full of innocence: Am I being shot even if I was lying down?

Bai Zhicheng finally turned to the second page, which also attracted Uncle Ge's attention: "The following is the second part, Sir Atiya introduces a new function TDD function. Interestingly, TDD is Sir Atia's mentor, and the TDD function is the key to the whole proof, but Sir Adiyah does not describe this weak analytic function in detail, and the existence of this function is also an important question. ……”

Under Bai Zhicheng's interpretation, Jiang Shuiyuan quickly finished browsing Atiya's proof.

Of course, even without Bai Zhicheng's interpretation, Jiang Shuiyuan would intuitively feel that Atiya's proof is unreliable: the paper is only five pages long, and the proof is only five lines, which can also prove the epic problem that has plagued the academic community for more than a hundred years?

It's just a bean bag that is not dry food!

Subsequently, Su Biqing, a professor at the Department of Mathematics at Peking Normal University, also expressed a pessimistic view: "We know that for rigorous academic research, proving mathematical conjectures ultimately only depends on logic and derivation, rather than who claims to have proved what first." In this preprint of Sir Atia's paper, we do not see any proof of the theorem of rigor, which meets the requirements of a mathematical paper, or even any property of the ζ function, which is crucial in the Riemann conjecture. So in my opinion, this is not a serious attempt, and it is not even a mistake. ”

Yuan Li, a researcher at the Beijing Center for Computing Science, and Yi Yiping, an associate professor at the Department of Mathematics at Jingshi University, are also not optimistic: "I think that before a scholar engaged in scientific research claims to solve a major problem, it is best to find industry experts to review and verify, which is the standard practice." However, I believe that Sir Attia did not do so. However, it is also the norm that many great mathematicians in their later years will claim to have proved a proposition, but ultimately fail to do so. This is not detrimental to their previous achievements, and we don't need to be too harsh on them, after all, the wind and candles are in their last years, and there are not many days left, and it is human nature to be more eager to leave traces in history. ”

Because the paper is short enough, the seminar is also much shorter.

In the end, Hui Chengze concluded his argument: "Mathematics has always been the most rigorous science, and there is no sand in it, even if you write a 500 or 1,000-page paper, just one line of error can negate all your efforts." Fortunately, what we see now is only a preprint of Sir Atiya's proof paper, and in the coming period, we will rush and wait for more details of this paper, and then verify every step of the way. If it is proved to be correct, then we pay the highest tribute to him, and he will be the greatest mathematician of this century, and there is no one! Even if it is not correct, it will make more mathematicians and mathematics enthusiasts pay attention to the Riemann conjecture and lay the foundation for a thorough solution in the future. ”

At the end of the seminar, it seemed that many people, including Uncle Ge and Zhang Jin, were relieved.

Uncle Ge was finally in the mood to take care of Jiang Shuiyuan: "It's only been a few days since the finals of the Olympiad, how are you preparing? Have you read all the books for you? Have you done all the questions for you?"
