Line 17 on page 11?!

Tao Zhexuan was stunned.

Not only Tao Zhexuan, but Professor Deligne, who was sitting not far away, and Molina, and even Schultz, who was hiding in a corner and chewing gum, all had a look of surprise on their faces.

"I thought the problem was with the 6 formula on page 21, line 5......"

Muttering to himself, Schultz pulled out the manuscript he had with him from his bosom, quickly drew a few mathematical symbols on it with a ballpoint pen that only he could understand, and calculated them quickly in his head.

"Page 21, line 5?" Glancing at Schultz, who was sitting next to him, Akshai Venkatsh, who was sitting with his arms crossed, thought for a moment, and then said with a strange expression, "I thought it was a problem on page 31, line 11. ”

Like Scholz, the Akshai is a talent.

In addition to his academic achievements in the fields of representation theory and number theory, he is also the only Australian to win medals in both the International Physics Olympiad and the International Mathematical Olympiad......

And he was only twelve years old that year.

Hearing this, Schultz took out a crumpled stack of paper papers from his pocket, flipped to the 31-page position and glanced at it, and raised his eyebrows with interest.

"It seems that our Professor Lu is not in ordinary trouble."

Aqsai didn't speak, still clasped his arms, but slowly closed his eyes.

Three different scholars found three very different problems with the same proof.

It's not just that there's a problem with the core proof process, it's that there's a systemic problem with the whole proof process. It's like a piece of code that runs and it's full of problems.

Although I feel sorry for the genius who was on the Fields Medal podium with me, there is no way to do it.

One has to pay the price for one's youth and arrogance, and may this battle be his Leipzig, not Waterloo, and that he will be able to achieve greater glory after the setbacks.

Otherwise, it would be a huge loss for the entire mathematical community.

Just when Schultz was still frowning and meditating, Aksai had already determined the outcome of this report meeting, and even began to close his eyes to recuperate, in the middle of the auditorium not far away, Xu Chenyang stared at the podium in front of him with a solemn face, and also frowned and fell into deep thought.

Seeing that he didn't say a word in the face of Mr. Faltins's question, Zhang Shouwu, who was sitting next to Professor Xu, couldn't help but speak.

"Why don't you speak? At this juncture......"

Although Faltins was his mentor, he was a Chinese, and he was naturally on the side of the Chinese academic community.

Lu Zhou is not only the pride of China's academic circles, but also a postcard of China's academic circles in the world.

If you ask him who he supports, he must undoubtedly support Lu Zhou, even if he is not optimistic that Lu Zhou can win the prepared Professor Faltins......

After all, it is far easier to find a logical hole than to put together an impenetrable net. And it is even more difficult to defuse the opponent's offensive in just one briefing meeting......

When Wiles proved Fermat's theorem, it took a full year to remedy the loopholes in the proof and answer the reviewers' questions.

Now that half of the mathematical community is focused on him, it is far from being able to think normally, let alone see the tricks in a clear manner......

"Line 17 on page 11?" Flipping through the paper in his hand, Lu Zhou found the position of Professor Faltins' question, and replied in a smooth voice, "This line just uses the Stirling table of the Γ(s) function, thus simplifying the (2) equation to J(δ)=Σd(k+1)(n)I(n)+Δ(δ)......"

"Of course I know what you said," interrupted Lu Zhou's speech, and Professor Faltings slowly continued, "The Stirling table using the Γ(s) function is indeed a very clever way to save a lot of unnecessary trouble, but even if you are interested in Re(s)=1-c/ln[|Im(s)|+2] still can't change the fact that there is no nontrivial zero point in the area to its right. ”

Zhang Shouwu held his breath, Professor Deligne clenched his fists, Schultz stopped the pen in his hand, Tao Zhexuan's eyes gradually became dyed with a trace of fanatical excitement, and Molina bit her lower lip with a complicated expression......

"The poor dagger has seen ......"

Xu Chenyang, who was sitting next to Professor Zhang Shouwu, sighed softly.

Most of the people sitting here have already guessed what Professor Faltings is going to say next.

As if in response to everyone's expectations, the old man, who was wearing a black trench coat and dragging a domed black hat in his right hand, slowly spoke in a steady voice and continued.

"No matter how clever the superelliptic curve you choose, you can't get around this dead knot."

This is where the fatal flaw in your argument lies, so it is impossible to translate the right side boundary from Re(s)=1 to the left to Re(s)=1-ε(ε>0)...... I emphasized this in my first email to you, but you don't seem to have taken my advice to heart. ”

The auditorium was silent.

It's as if a needle falls on the ground, and you can hear it carefully.

This question can be described as hitting the nail on the head, like a sharp short sword, straight to the soft underbelly of the whole paper.

The clenched fist slowly loosened, and Professor Deligne sighed softly.

It's Faltins.

Although unwilling to admit it, he was indeed the closest person to the Riemann conjecture after his mentor Grothendieck.

Molina felt both relieved and regretful.

The relief was due to the fact that Lu Zhou had failed in the end, and that she had lost another formidable competitor on her way to Mount Everest, known as the Riemann conjecture, and that it was a pity that it was ......

This failure may mean not only the return of the quasi-Riemann conjecture to the conjecture, but also the death sentence of the critical zone proof idea......

In front is Grothendieck.

Now it's Professor Lu again.

Countless geniuses were clumped in front of Riemann's guess of the dragon......

Is it true that the Riemann conjecture is a dead knot that can neither be proved nor falsified, as described by the ghost of Gödel's incompleteness theorem, which hovers over the world of mathematics......

Thinking of this, Molina couldn't help but panic in her heart.

If the answer she was looking for didn't exist in the first place......

So what is all the efforts she has made for?

At the same time, on the other side of the auditorium.

Staring at Lu Zhou, who was questioned by Faltins and stood there without saying a word, Schultz suddenly smiled and said in a voice that only he and Akshai, who was sitting next to him, could hear.

“…… Aqsai, my dear friend, you know? Sometimes I really suspect that it's like a curse. Let's calculate how many geniuses the Riemann conjecture has taken from our mortal world...... Far from it, Sir Attiyah must be one. ”

Aksai shook his head, holding his arms folded.

"I don't believe there is such a curse."

"That's because you don't understand," Schultz shrugged his shoulders, and the handsome prince of mathematics smiled charmingly, "Have you heard a rumor?" It is said that before running away from home and living in seclusion in France, the great 'Pope' of Grothendieck once indulged in the imagination of demons, and he believed that it was the power of demons that turned the beautiful speed of light that should have been 300,000 kilometers per second into an ugly 299,792.458 kilometers per second, and it was the power of demons that made the mysterious quantum ghosts wander in the pure Riemann conjecture......"

Feeling a little uncomfortable, Aqsai opened his mouth to try to end the conversation.

“…… Well, don't talk about it. ”

Apparently not paying attention to Akshai's reminder, Schultz smiled and continued.

“…… It is said that before Grothendieck disappeared from sight, and even until the Wey conjecture was proven, His Majesty the Pope was pursuing a way out of the Riemann conjecture. And in 2010, after being missing for decades, he suddenly wrote a letter to his students, and guess what it was? ”

Although he didn't really want to hear about this kind of chasing after the wind, Akshai couldn't resist the curiosity in his heart and couldn't help but ask.

"What was written......

Spit the gum on the wrapper and fold it, and the handsome professor spoke in a troubadour-like tone.

"His Majesty the Pope wrote in his letter that whoever can take the crown called the Riemann conjecture from the hands of the devil has hope to accomplish a great deed that no one has accomplished for thousands of years......"

After a pause, he continued.

"That is, unified algebra, with geometry!"

……

Stood quietly on the stage.

I just stood like this for a long time.

Just when Faltins even began to reflect on whether he had done things too desperately and made the young scholar unable to get off the stage, Lu Zhou, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

"Questions like this are asked because you haven't gotten to the heart of my proof process."

The voice fell.

There was a commotion in the auditorium.

Surprised, surprised, and even ...... Angry!

Feeling these brewing emotions, Lu Zhou took a deep breath of the turbid air and opened his eyes to look at Professor Faltins who was standing there.

Seeing the incredible surprise on the old man's face, he said with a soft sigh.

"I'm sorry, but I may have been offended."

"But after hearing your question, I finally understood where our differences were."

He thought it was because he wasn't clear enough.

But now it seems that the real reason is not so.

The arguments between the two sides seem to converge in an irresolvable knot, but in reality they are two unrelated parallel lines.

It's an amazing feeling.

It's even surprisingly strange.

But when all this was done, all the doubts dissipated like smoke in the eyes......

Thinking of this, Lu Zhou sighed lightly again in his heart.

It seems that there is probably only one person in the world who has really penetrated the core part of that paper.

And that person is not here at the moment.

"I'll prove it to you."

With that, Lu Zhou turned around and faced the whiteboard.

"You probably remember the things on the whiteboard, so I erased ......"

Wiped the whiteboard clean, and Lu Zhou picked up the marker again.

"First of all, allow me here to thank my students for putting together this stuff for me. It wasn't until today that I realized it was amazing work, and I hadn't had time to say thank you to her. ”

After a pause, Lu Zhou turned his head and looked at Professor Faltins, whose expression was becoming increasingly serious.

Then, his gaze crossed over the old man, and over the crowded lecture hall behind him, as if looking at a void that no one had ever seen.

So, let's start with the basics...... In other words, the tools part of the whole paper, let's start with it. ”

With that, he picked up his pen and wrote a neat line of handwriting on the whiteboard.

[Super elliptic curve analysis! 】

The moment the words were written.

Or rather, at the moment when his phrase "starts with the basics" that sounded like a "provocation".

The atmosphere in the entire lecture hall was instantly detonated!
