Chapter 490

Cheng Nuo stretched out his hand and gestured, "Please speak." ”

The mathematician from the island country pushed his glasses and stared at Cheng Nuo, "Professor Cheng, I found that in your paper that proved the BSD conjecture, many new theories appeared?"

Cheng Nuo nodded, "That's right." ”

"Then I would like to ask why Professor Cheng has gone to such great lengths to derive such a few new theorems instead of ...... Stand on the shoulders of giants and use the theories that already exist in mathematics. The voice of the mathematician of the island country increased suddenly, "I can't understand it like this, Professor Cheng, you can't look down on the theories that previous mathematicians have studied with painstaking efforts for decades!"

As soon as the words came out, the audience was in an uproar!

This is...... Blatantly got involved with Cheng Nuo?

Many people looked like they were watching a good show, looking at Cheng Nuo on the stage to see how he would react.

Cheng Nuo smiled.

If it weren't for such a serious occasion, Cheng Nuo would almost laugh out loud.

This mathematician of the island country is too strange!

I am afraid that this mathematician did not understand his paper, and dared to stand up and ask such a "wise" question.

Cheng Nuo held back the smile on his face, and looked at the island mathematician with eyes as if he was staring at the mentally retarded.

"As for the reason, I won't explain it to you, I guess you won't understand it even if I explain it. It's not as good as this. The corners of Cheng Nuo's mouth curled, "This professor, if you can correctly prove the BSD conjecture without using the new theorems proposed in my paper, then how about I transfer the million-dollar prize awarded to me by the Clay Institute of Mathematics to you." If that's not enough, I can add a million. ”

Cheng Nuo raised two fingers and looked at the island mathematician with a smile.

There was a burst of laughter from the audience.

There are a lot of people in it.

Why did Cheng Nuo create his own theorem instead of using the theorems that already exist in the mathematical community to prove the BSD conjecture?

It's not because the existing mathematical theories can't solve the BSD conjecture!

If it weren't for this, BSD's conjecture would have been proven long ago, and where would it be Cheng Nuo's turn.

This mathematician of the island country, whether in the eyes of Cheng Nuo or in the eyes of their group, is just a clown who jumps off the beam.

Back.

The mathematician's face turned red for a while, and finally he sullenly spoke, "I don't have that level. ”

No, you're beeping a yarn here!

Cheng Nuo shrugged his shoulders and showed a kind smile, "It's okay for you to ask others for help." As long as it can be shown that the existing mathematical theory can prove the BSD conjecture. As for who that person is, I don't care. ”

Professor Island's eyes lit up, "Professor Cheng, are you serious?"

Cheng Nuo tilted his head and smiled, "It's only two million dollars, I don't care." ”

Professor Island's eyes brightened.

Two million dollars!

Cheng Nuo can say it so lightly, but he can't.

Even though he is a professor at the University of Tokyo, he usually works part-time at a *** company next to the university in his free time, but after all, he is only a mathematician in the direction of pure numbers, and his earning power is naturally not as good as that of those scientific researchers in the field of application.

Two million dollars is his salary for nearly five years.

Moreover, Cheng Nuo's conditions, in his opinion, have a great possibility of completion.

With his own level, he naturally can't prove the problem of the century of the BSD conjecture, but his senior brother may be!

After all, his senior brother is the world's mathematics community, the famous provers of ABC conjectures, Ueda Shinichi!

Belch...... Although his brother's identity as a provers of the ABC conjecture has not been recognized by the mathematical community, he has not won the world's top awards such as the Fields Medal and the Wolf Medal. But in terms of level, he believes that his senior brother Shinichi Ueda will not be weaker than any Philippine Award winner!

After receiving Cheng Nuo's affirmative answer, the mathematician of the island country sat down satisfied.

I didn't notice the banter of the audience next to me.

The report will continue.

Later, several more mathematicians got up one after another to ask questions. But the questions are all academic questions, not the way the island mathematician finds faults.

Finally, in the applause of the audience, the nearly three-hour "BSD Conjecture Special Report" came to a successful conclusion.

Looking at the audience in the auditorium who were almost finished, Dean Ding came to Cheng Nuo's side with a grin and patted Cheng Nuo's shoulder heavily, "Cheng Nuo, you're doing well!"

Cheng Nuo smiled, "Dean, I have already said that I can still hold this kind of small scene." ”

"By the way, your two million dollars ......"

"Dean, don't worry, I know it. If someone could prove the BSD conjecture using another method, it would be worth the price of two million. However, I don't think anyone will succeed. My money isn't so easy to get!"

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

Island country.

Ichiro Ida, oh, that is, the mathematician of the island country who openly opened up with Cheng Nuo at the report meeting, did not stay in China for long at the end of the report meeting, and flew back to the island country of Tokyo directly on the nearest flight.

At the University of Tokyo, walking through a path lined with cherry blossom trees, Ichiro Ida came to a research institute.

"I want to see Professor Ueda. ”

"Mr. Ida, Professor Ueda is in the office on the third floor. ”

Ichiro Ida nodded, walked anxiously to the door of an office on the third floor, and knocked on the door.

"Please come in! Ichiro, is that you?"

Shinichi Ueda, who is in his early fifties, sits at his desk with a pair of glasses and a smile.

As one of the backbones of the mathematics community in the island country today, although the mathematical level of Ueda Shinichi is mediocre in the world, there are countless people in the island country.

"Senior brother, I want to trouble you with one thing!" Ichiro Ida bowed his head.

An hour later......

Ichiro Ida walked out of the office satisfied, his pace much brisker.

"Heh, two million dollars, Professor Cheng, I hope you won't break your word when the time comes. ”

Shinichi Ida looked up and muttered to himself.

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

Next.

Shinichi Ueda posted a text on his blog, announcing the launch of the BSD conjecture!

Of course, the word "conquer" is not very accurate, because the BSD conjecture was overcome by Cheng Nuo as early as a month ago.

Ueda Shinichi means that, as Cheng Nuo said, he is ready to use the existing mathematical theories to defeat the BSD conjecture!

That's a lot of fun!

And it quickly caused a great repercussion in the international mathematical community.

If it was just Ichiro Ida, a little transparent mathematician, then this incident would have gradually faded into everyone's mind after a few days, and then accidentally remembered it as an after-dinner joke.

But with the addition of Shinichi Ueda, this matter has become completely different.

Maybe most of them didn't expect that Ichiro Ida really invited a helper, and he was still a "heavyweight".

This dispute, starting with Ueda's blog, is no longer a simple two-million-dollar issue.

To put it a little bit, it is the personal contradiction between Cheng Nuo and Ueda Shinichi.

To put it a little bigger, it is enough to rise to the confrontation between the Chinese mathematics community and the island mathematics community!
