Chapter 107: The Cornerstone

"Director, is there a certification process?"

"Yes, the photos of the contents of the board book at the report have spread all over the mathematical community, and many mathematicians are checking them."

"Okay, then you send me the photo, I'll see it now!"

The generalized Teishmüller theory and the ABC conjecture proof paper have not been widely recognized by the mathematical community for so many years, and the ABC conjecture has almost become a demon in Shinichi Mochizuki.

He never wanted to believe that the theoretical framework he had spent more than ten years carefully constructing was a mistake.

Therefore, when he suddenly heard that this conjecture was proven, the first thing Shinichi Mochizuki could think of was to find out the mistakes in Pang Xuelin's proof process as soon as possible.

Soon, twenty board book photos were sent to Shinichi Mochizuki's computer, and Shinichi Mochizuki sat cross-legged in front of the computer and studied it.

……

Pang Xuelin naturally didn't expect that his proof of the ABC conjecture would inspire Shinichi Mochizuki's rebellious heart.

After chatting with Deligne and them for a while, Pang Xuelin went directly back to his room to sleep.

burst his liver for 36 hours in a row, even if Pang Xuelin was energetic, he couldn't bear it.

The participating mathematicians also knew that Pang Xuelin was hard, so they did not pester Pang Xuelin, but continued to study the contents of the twenty board books in the conference room.

Fortunately, the organizers of the conference gave the mathematicians enough time to communicate after the academic presentation, so this seriously overtimed academic presentation did not cause too much confusion.

Early the next morning, Pang Xuelin opened his eyes and felt refreshed.

I slept very well this night, as if I had regained the energy I had lost during the liver explosion.

Picking up the mobile phone on the bedside table, Pang Xuelin couldn't help but be taken aback, there were more than 60 missed calls in total, including grandfather's, Liu Tingbo, president of the School of Mathematics of Jiang University, and more of them were some strange calls, both at home and abroad, many of which Pang Xuelin looked a little familiar, as if it was the phone left by the reporter who interviewed him last time.

Fortunately, I set my phone to silent before going to bed, otherwise I wouldn't want to sleep well this night.

Pang Xuelin shook his head, put his phone aside, took a shower first, and took care of himself freshly before walking out of the bedroom.

In the living room, Qi Xin had just finished answering a phone call, and when she saw Pang Xuelin wake up, the girl suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Senior brother, you finally woke up, hurry up and call Dean Liu back, from yesterday to now, I have answered more than 100 calls." ”

Pang Xuelin was slightly stunned, and wondered: "What's the situation?" Why do they even call you? ”

Qi Xin cried and laughed: "I'm afraid you don't know yet, I don't know what's going on, the news of yesterday's report meeting reached the outside world, and Reuters quoted a professor at the Paris École Supérieure for the first time, saying that you have proved the ABC conjecture." Now that the news has spread to China, major forums and social platforms are full of discussions about you, and reporters are looking for you everywhere. I don't know who leaked my phone number, and someone couldn't reach you, so they called me. ”

Pang Xuelin nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll call Dean Liu back first." ”

It's half past seven in the morning Paris time, and it's early in the morning.

But as soon as Pang Xuelin's phone was dialed, he was directly connected.

"Professor Pang, you finally woke up, why did you release such a large satellite in this report without saying anything in advance, I was shocked when I heard the news......

Liu Tingbo chattered there for a long time, and Pang Xuelin said: "I also had a temporary inspiration before I decided to change the content of this report meeting." ”

Liu Tingbo said: "Are you sure about the proof of the ABC conjecture? Now the news in the mathematical world is flying all over the world, and I don't know if it's true or not, I heard that yesterday Deligne and Faltins all recognized your proof? ”

Pang Xuelin said: "It's almost, anyway, they didn't raise any objections." ”

"And how sure do you personally feel?"

"Eight or nine is not far from ten!"

Liu Tingbo breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Don't be interviewed by the media lightly these days, and after returning to China, the school will arrange an ABC conjecture proof seminar as soon as possible." By the way, when are you going to return home? ”

Pang Xuelin said: "The plane at eleven o'clock tonight is estimated to arrive in the magic capital tomorrow evening!" “

Liu Tingbo said: "Okay, then I'll talk about it when you come back." By the way, don't forget to tell Chairman Zhang that all your 20 tabula rasa books will be transported to Jiangcheng, and these important academic historical materials must be kept in Jiangda, and they must not be robbed by other units. ”

Pang Xuelin: "......"

Hanging up the phone, Qi Xin said curiously: "What did Dean Liu say?" ”

Pang Xuelin shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's just some clichés, let me not accept media interviews for the time being." In addition, let me transport the twenty tabula rasa books back to Jiangda. ”

Qi Xin sneered, with an inexplicable glint in his eyes, and said: "Your performance yesterday was indeed a bit scary, especially in the later proof process, I was nervous to death, for fear that you would be stuck in one link." But when you write the certificate on stage, you are really handsome! ”

Pang Xuelin smiled and said, "Didn't you see me burst my liver overnight the night before yesterday?" I'm not sure I wouldn't do such a thing. By the way, there shouldn't be anything going on today, we're on a plane at 11 o'clock in the evening, and there's still a day, aren't you going to go out for a walk? ”

As soon as he said this, Qi Xin suddenly made a bitter face and said: "I have to help people buy things, after I know that I am going abroad, my girlfriends and relatives and friends have entrusted me to bring cosmetics and health care products, etc., I have to go out to buy and buy all day today." What about you, what are you going to do today? ”

Pang Xuelin said: "I am going to go to the Institut des Hautes Etudes in France to see the manuscripts left by Grothendieck. ”

Qi Xin was slightly disappointed, but she quickly adjusted and said with a smile: "Okay, let's split up today." ”

……

Today is the last day of the conference, and in the morning, mathematicians from all over the world have left one after another.

Before leaving, most of them ran over to greet Pang Xuelin.

Deligne was going to Germany to study Ponzi geometry with Faltins, and since Schultz was coming by car, this time they would take Schultz's car back.

Tao Zhexuan returned directly to the United States, and before leaving, he asked Pang Xuelin not to forget to go back to his alma mater if he had time.

Yau Chengtong and Zhang Deye were about to visit London as originally planned, and when Pang Xuelin sent them to the door of the hotel, he happened to see the workers packing those whiteboards, and he couldn't help but be a little speechless: "President Zhang, are these things really so important?" ”

Zhang Deye said: "Professor Xiaopang, to you, these may not be important, but for our country's mathematical community, this is more important than ten Fields Medals, these things represent the cornerstone of our human civilization." ”
