Chapter 486

Princeton University, Institute for Advanced Mathematics.

The Annals of Mathematics is known as the number one journal in mathematics and is affiliated with the Institute for Advanced Mathematics at Princeton University.

Although it was late at night, several offices at the Institute for Advanced Mathematics were still brightly lit.

"Bill, make me another cup of coffee!" an old professor with a white beard commanded his student without looking up.

"Professor, you haven't rested for a day and a night. For the sake of your body, I recommend that you stop working. Bill advised.

The old professor wearing reading glasses leaned down, his eyes swept over the lines of formulas on the paper with fascination, as if he was looking at a peerless beauty again.

"What kind of genius brain can write such a beautiful mathematical language!"

Seeing that his teacher was already immersed in his own world, Bill shook his head helplessly and walked out of the office with a coffee cup.

As soon as I went out, I saw a blonde young man with a coffee cup coming out of the office next door, and the two looked at each other, both smiling bitterly.

"Hey, Bill, what did you say about this group of professors, they used to take care of their bodies, but since the day before yesterday, when the dean called everyone together for a meeting, they have been working for dozens of hours without sleep as if they were beaten with chicken blood. The blonde youth asked.

Bill shook his head, "I don't know the details. ”

"But I heard from the teacher that a few days ago, the Annals of Mathematics received the submission of four papers, and at this stage, what several professors are doing is to verify these four papers, as for the content of the papers, and which mathematician submitted these four papers, this is not clear. ”

"But I got the news that tomorrow, Professors Fresnel and Cockburn from MIT, and Professor Dickens from Harvard University will come to our school to assist in the verification of the four papers in the Annals of Mathematics. ”

"Lying ...... !" The blonde youth was speechless in astonishment.

After being stunned for a long time, he muttered, "Fresnel, Coben, Dickens, these three are all Filipino award bosses!"

"Add in the three professors in our school who have won the Philippine Award, that's a total of ...... Six!"

The blonde young man slashed his spit, "The six Filipino Award bosses, such a luxurious lineup, what are they verifying? Also, what kind of article can invite these six bigwigs!"

Today, there are only eight Filipino Prize winners who are still active in the mathematics community in the United States.

And the "Annals of Mathematics" this time directly gathered six people in one go, which is ...... Is there going to be an earthquake in the world of mathematics?

............

The blonde youth was right, the world of mathematics was indeed about to face an earthquake.

Breuer, editor-in-chief of the Annals of Mathematics and dean of the Higher School of Mathematics, had such a premonition the moment he saw Cheng Nuo's four papers.

Cheng Nuo, editor-in-chief of Brewer, is no stranger to this name.

At that time, Cheng Nuo's paper that solved the two major problems of the minimalist model program in one fell swoop was published in the Annals of Mathematics.

Originally, at that time, Brewer saw that Cheng Nuo had great potential and high mass production, so he had the idea of establishing a fixed contract relationship with Cheng Nuo.

But Cheng Nuo suddenly returned to China, and the matter was put on hold.

It wasn't until later that it came out that Cheng Nuo was tackling the BSD conjecture, and this plan was officially aborted.

Since then, Editor-in-Chief Brewer has paid little attention to Cheng Nuo's side, and has rarely heard about Cheng Nuo's news in the international mathematical community.

Until...... That day!

The moment Brewer saw the titles of Cheng Nuo's four papers, he was completely stunned.

The first reaction was, how is that possible?

Then he spent more than a day staying up late to read Cheng Nuo's first paper, that is, the "Three-Step Proof of the BSD Conjecture".

Although there are a few parts in the middle that he can't fully understand, on the whole, there are no logical errors in Cheng Nuo's paper.

This surprised him.

But at the same time, it also made Brewer aware of the seriousness of the situation.

BSD's conjecture, has it really been proven?

So he immediately convened a meeting and brought several top professors from the Institute of Advanced Mathematics over to discuss this time.

At the meeting, Brewer handed over the four papers to several professors for presentation, and in the end, they received unanimous attention from several professors.

A review group dedicated to Cheng Nuo's four papers was quickly formed.

Its members include three Filipino Award winners and two Wolf Award winners.

But after two days of research, Brewer found that the panel was completely understaffed.

There are four papers in total, and the paper that proves the BSD conjecture needs to be reviewed by at least five professors.

For the remaining three papers, each paper also needs to be chaired by at least two professors.

With a total of more than 300 pages of papers, the workload can be described as quite large.

There is no way, Princeton's manpower is almost exhausted by Brewer, so he can only ask for help from other universities in the United States.

Hearing that the BSD conjecture might have been successfully proven, no one at the universities that received the news could sit still, and sent mathematicians to Princeton one after another.

Professor Fresnel took the nearest flight to the small town of Princeton as soon as he got the news.

After more than a year, Professor Fresnel finally heard that familiar name - Cheng Nuo!

And what is implicated with Cheng Nuo this time is one of the seven famous conjectures in the mathematical world, the BSD conjecture!

The moment he heard the news, Professor Fresnel was overjoyed and surprised.

After more than a year of silence, Fresnel was really worried that his proud student would collapse on the setback of BSD's conjecture, and finally disappear from everyone.

But now, Cheng Nuo has submitted a paper proving the BSD conjecture to the Annals of Mathematics.

Based on Professor Fresnel's understanding of Cheng Nuo, since Cheng Nuo dares to submit a paper and successfully publish his research, he must have absolute confidence.

Cheng Nuo will never do anything that he is not sure of.

Although I don't understand how Cheng Nuo did it, Professor Fresnel is still proud of himself as a student, and, proudly!

Twenty years ago, he proved the Poincaré conjecture, one of the seven mathematical conjectures, and became famous!

Twenty years later, his student Cheng Nuo proved the BSD conjecture among the seven mathematical conjectures!

This will definitely become a beautiful talk in the history of mathematics in the world.

............

Six Filipino Prize winners, four Wolf Prize winners, plus professors from other schools, a total of 20 mathematicians formed a luxurious review panel in the history of mathematics.

Even the review of the Poincaré conjecture proof process twenty years ago did not dispatch so many bigwigs.

With the addition of several bigwigs, the review process has been cut in half.

It took ten days and overtime to complete the review of the four papers.

The official website of the Institute for Advanced Mathematics in Princeton also announced to the outside world that this news was enough to cause a sensation in the world:

The BSD conjecture was successfully proven!
