Princeton's campus.

It was the coldest time of the year in New Jersey, and there were silver-white snowflakes floating outside the window. The snow that has been scattered has piled up on the eaves and roofs, turning this academically soaked Oxford-style campus into a fairytale castle.

Sitting quietly in the library activity room of this "ancient castle", Vera who sat quietly at her desk and looked at the computer, and the bookshelf next to her and the snow outside the window were like a painting.

The pale blonde hair hung down softly, and although the fair complexion revealed a bit of uncontrollable whiteness, the softness and strength cast from the sapphire eyes gave people a sense of peace of mind, and also added a little dazzling color to her.

On the computer screen, it was Lu Zhou's reply.

The concise language style, as well as the straight to the point, are very characteristic of him.

[I've read your email.] 】

[It is indeed an interesting idea to improve the method of using the irreducible unitary representation theory of the eighternennial Heisenberg group and doing the Fourier transform on it.] 】

[And this reminds me of a quantitative version of the Riemann hypothesis that was co-proved in 1974 by Levinson and Professor Montgomery, that is, ζ(s) in the open region {-1< Re(s)&lt; 1/2，T1&lt; Im(s)&lt; The number of zeros in T2} is the same as ζ(s) in {0< Re(s)&lt; 1/2， T1&lt; Im(s)&lt; The ratio of the number of zeros in T2} is asymptotically close to 1...... A similar approach is used. 】

[Very good, this idea you put forward just indirectly answers me, a place where I have always had doubts. Remember what I said a long time ago? The Riemann conjecture is an analytic number theory problem, but it is still a complex analysis problem in essence, and we must solve it with the idea of solving the complex analysis problem, but we cannot limit it to this. 】

[My suggestion is to start with the Plancherel formula on a class of single-connected power zero Lie groups G_n and discuss the subelliptic properties of the left-invariant differential operator on its G_n, which should reveal something unexpected.] 】

[By the way, I suggest you organize the things in the email and send a paper, so that it is easier for me to cite it.] 】

"Isn't it limited to the method of solving complex analysis problems? Your style really hasn't changed at all. ”

Reading the email from the beginning to the end, Vera's mouth curled into a slight smile.

But then the curvature of the corners of her lips gradually flattened, and the little girl sitting at the desk frowned and thought for a long time, reached out and picked up the ballpoint pen in the pen holder, and wrote down the ideas put forward by Lu Zhou on scratch paper.

At the same time, I also incorporated some of my own ideas.

At this time, the door of the activity room suddenly opened, and a woman in a large trench coat walked in briskly.

Shaking off the snowflakes on her body, Molina casually hung her coat on the hanger at the door, and walked to Vera's side with two sandwiches and coffee.

"Don't look at the computer just yet, eat lunch. I brought you your favorite tuna sandwich...... There is also mint-scented coffee. What kind of strange taste is this? Someone would put mints in their coffee, and it's even stranger that someone would buy them. ”

"Thank you, Molina," Vera smiled softly with sincere gratitude to Molina, warming her hands with the hot coffee, "but it's not about putting mints in your coffee. Instead, dip the washed mint leaves in the coffee and wait five minutes before removing it...... It's like making tea. ”

"I can't stand the smell anyway...... What are you looking at? ”

"Professor Lu's reply," a faint flush appeared on her face, Vera picked up the paper to cover her mouth, coughed lightly, and said, "...... A few days ago, I happened to be working on his paper on ultra-elliptic curve analysis, and I happened to think of an application of the irreducible unitary representation theory of the eighternennial Heisenberg group, and then I tried to study it...... It seems that my research has come in handy. ”

Glancing at the email on the screen, Molina said a little sullenly.

"Hey, you're collaborators! You shouldn't forget, I'm your comrade-in-arms. ”

"Professor Lu is not our enemy," Vera said solemnly, looking at Molina, with a rare show of bravery or stubbornness, "We said it at the beginning, why can't we solve this problem together?" Solving the Riemann conjecture is not a one-man job. ”

Looking at the stubborn expression on Vera's face, Molina opened her mouth, but she couldn't say a word.

She admits that she has selfish intentions in it, but who wouldn't?

If Riemann's conjecture was proved by Lu Zhou, even if no one said it explicitly, he would definitely give him all the credit, and it was taken for granted that he must have solved 99% of the trouble.

It's like who will remember Hardy's thesis collaborators? And who remembers who Hilbert collaborated with on an important paper or a major research result in which year?

Unless, it's a problem that Hardy and Hilpotter work together to solve.

In the case of a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, people are always accustomed to remembering the easiest name to remember and forgetting the irrelevant one.

She admits that mathematics is her life, and she only studies mathematics because she likes it, but the name of the Abel family is also one of her unshirkable responsibilities.

At least that's what she thought.

However, looking at Vera who did not back down, she couldn't say selfish words.

“…… I can't help you," Molina, with a compromise sigh, grabbing the hair on the back of her head, "If you think things are that simple, then you can just continue on the path you think is right." ”

"Thank you." Vera smiled softly and thanked sincerely.

"You're welcome...... Speaking of which, is your body really okay? Glancing at the paper basket next to her, Molina said with some concern, "You coughed all day yesterday, and you don't feel very good today." ”

Vera shook her head slightly, smiled and said, "Actually, it's okay, don't worry about me." ”

After hesitating for a moment, Molina said: "Otherwise, the 45-minute report meeting in St. Petersburg, I will go for you, and you should have a good rest here." ”

"No, I'll definitely go myself," Vera shook her head with a blush on her face, "he must be looking forward to my presentation, and I won't live up to his expectations." ”

Molina took a deep breath and finally asked the question she had been hiding for a long time and wanted to ask, "May I ask, what is wrong with you?" ”

With a slight pause in her fingertips holding the ballpoint pen, Vera shook her head as usual and smiled softly.

"You don't have to worry about me, I'm fine."

Even though he said that, the voice was really not reassuring.

Looking at her appearance, Molina's heart felt inexplicably palpitating.

Impulsively, she snatched the scratch paper and pen from Vera's hand, pressed her delicate shoulder, and said in an unquestioning voice.

"Listen, you need to rest! The patient should just stay in bed and lie down, you-"

"I don't need it, give it to me......" Laboriously snatching back the scratch paper and pen from Molina's hand, Vera looked at her stubbornly and continued, "I don't need rest, trust me, I know what I need myself." ”

Time is running out......

There simply is no room to waste.

Looking at the girl with a face that did not give in the slightest, Molina finally made a compromise, let go of the hand holding Vera's shoulder, and said to herself.

"I'm convinced!"

With that, she turned and walked to the door, grabbed her still wet coat and draped it over herself, and walked towards the outside of the activity room.
