Chapter 111: Shinichi Mochizuki's Change

Kyoto, Japan.

Shingo Takeda, director of Kyoto University's Institute of Mathematics and Physics, knocked on the door of Shinichi Mochizuki's apartment.

"Shinichi, Shinichi, are you at home?"

Two days have passed since Pang Xuelin's report was over, and reporters are about to break down the door of the Institute of Mathematics and Physics at Kyoto University, but Shinichi Mochizuki has never shown up, and he has not even answered the phone.

Shingo Takeda had to rush to the Mochizuki family to see what was going on.

After a while, the door opened, and Mochizuki shinichi had a stubbled beard and poked his head out tiredly.

Seeing Shingo Takeda, Shinichi Mochizuki said a little strangely: "Takeda, why are you here?" ”

Shingo Takeda frowned and said, "You haven't been to school for two days, and no one has answered your calls, so we're all worried about whether something happened to you......"

Mochizuki Shizuki: "I'm fine, I've been studying Pang's board book for the past two days......"

"How's the research going, do you think he proved the ABC conjecture?"

Shingo Takeda hurriedly asked.

In the past two days, the video of Pang Xuelin's report held in Paris has been spread all over the world, and the entire mathematical community is studying his Ponzi geometry and the proof process of the ABC conjecture.

At present, many mathematicians in the direction of far Abel geometry have publicly expressed their stance and recognized Pang Xuelin's proof.

This puts a lot of pressure on Shingo Takeda.

If Shinichi Mochizuki's proof of the ABC conjecture was supported by the Institute of Mathematics and Physics at Kyoto University, it would be a major blow to Shinichi Mochizuki's academic reputation and to the Institute of Mathematics and Physics at Kyoto University.

"You'll talk about it first."

Shinichi Mochizuki let Shingo Takeda into the house, poured a glass of water for Shingo Takeda, and then poured a glass himself, and after drinking a glass of water, he wiped his mouth and said, "Takeda, I was wrong, Pang is right!" I'm going to go to China, Ponzi geometry is a major upgrade of Grothendieck's far Abel geometry, in a sense, it opens up new mathematics, and I can feel that Ponzi geometry has a lot of potential to be tapped, and I want to talk to Ponzi. ”

Shingo Takeda had just taken a sip of water, and he almost spit it out when he heard it.

Shinichi Mochizuki is notoriously stubborn and conceited, and his paper on the ABC conjecture has been published for so many years, although the mathematical community generally does not approve of his paper, but Shinichi Mochizuki always insists that he is right.

Even Peter Schultz, last year's Fields Medal winner, and Jacob Stiks, another top scholar in the field of Far Abelian geometry, came to the door to refute them, and they were also rejected by Mochizuki Shinyi one by one.

Originally, he still thought that even if Pang Xuelin really proved the ABC conjecture, as long as Shinichi Mochizuki didn't approve of it, then there would be a lot of nonsense next.

But he didn't expect that before anyone could make a move, Shinichi Mochizuki would surrender himself.

Shingo Takeda said: "Shinichi, are you sure that Pang Xuelin's proof is right?" ”

Mochizuki nodded and said, "100% sure!" ”

In fact, the night before, after he had watched the Ponzi Geometry Theoretical Framework, he realized that he had lost.

Shinichi Mochizuki can be regarded as the most authoritative scholar in the field of far-abelian geometry, so for Ponzi geometry, which is also based on the far-aberlian geometry theory, Mochizuki Shinichi can see at a glance the forward-looking and superiority of its theoretical framework.

Compared with Ponzi geometry, the generalized Tesimüller theory that he painstakingly developed is like the relationship between a spear and a broadsword and a machine gun rifle.

In the past two days, Shinichi Mochizuki has been studying the relevant content of Ponzi geometry.

The more he studied, the more he felt the depth and breadth of this theory, and even through Ponzi geometry, he found the logical flaw in proving his ABC conjecture by generalizing the Taishmüller theory.

Because of this, Mochizuki Shin lost his desire to win early on, on the contrary, he was a little eager to meet Pang Xuelin and discuss the relevant theories and applications of Ponzi geometry with him.

Shingo Takeda didn't know Shinichi Mochizuki's mental journey, so he was so surprised to see him change so much.

Shingo Takeda frowned and said: "Shinichi, it's okay to go to China, but I hope you don't reveal your thoughts to the outside world for the time being, after all, those reporters don't care whether you mean it or not, if you admit that your proof of the ABC conjecture is wrong, then not only will all these years of persistence be wasted, but I am afraid that what awaits you at that time will be all kinds of verbal and written criticism......"

"Journalists?" Shinichi Mochizuki frowned and said, "That's it, Takeda, you can help me arrange a press conference, the sooner the better." ”

Shingo Takeda was slightly stunned and said, "Shinichi, what do you want to do?" ”

Mochizuki Shizuki: "Anyway, you help me arrange it first, I have something to announce later......"

Shingo Takeda frowned, but at Shinichi Mochizuki's insistence, he finally nodded in agreement.

……

When Pang Xuelin and Qi Xin's plane landed at Pudong International Airport, it was already in full bloom.

This return trip from Paris to the Magic Capital, the two also experienced a transfer at Dubai Airport, which took a total of 17 hours, nearly five hours longer than when they went.

Pang Xuelin and Qi Xin pushed their luggage out of the international passenger exit, and they were greeted by a dazzling flash.

Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen reporters surrounded Pang Xuelin like hungry wolves.

"Professor Pang, at present, many scholars in the mathematical field have recognized your Ponzi geometry theory, how sure are you of the proof of the ABC conjecture?"

"Professor Pang, it is said that the School of Mathematical Sciences of Jiang University has added you to the list of candidates for academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, what do you think of this incident?"

"Professor Pang, not long ago, Professor Shinichi Mochizuki of Kyoto University held a press conference to admit that there were problems with the proof of his generalized Tehimüller theory and the ABC conjecture, and at the same time recognized your theory and proof, what do you think of Professor Shinichi Mochizuki's statement?"

……

Pang Xuelin was slightly stunned.

Shinichi Mochizuki held a press conference to endorse his theory, which was somewhat unexpected.

Because from Schultz's mouth, Shinichi Mochizuki gave him the impression of stubbornness and conceit, and it was not so simple to make him change his opinion on one thing.

Pang Xuelin thought for a while and said: "Fellow journalists, it's not a matter for us to keep blocking the passenger exit like this, so let's find a place to have a good chat, I have to catch the car back to Jiangcheng next, so I can only answer five questions from you at most, and please understand." ”

As soon as Pang Xuelin said this, the reporters were not so anxious.

At this time, airport security also rushed over to help maintain order.

After knowing the specific situation, the airport specially arranged a VIP lounge for Pang Xuelin to be interviewed by reporters.
