Chapter 7 Onlookers Papers

"Is this your graduation thesis?"

As an associate professor in the Department of Mathematics at Yenching University, Chen Yutao is also responsible for supervising the graduates' graduation theses.

However, when he saw Ji Zhen's USB flash drive document, he was also dumbfounded, surprised, and incredulous.

There are not many files on the USB flash drive, there is only one folder, and there is only one file in the folder. But this file takes up a lot of memory.

And it was the name of the file that Chen Yutao couldn't believe.

The Complete Argument for the Poincaré Conjecture

"Is that the Poincaré conjecture?"

Ji Zhen was immediately happy, and his words seemed a little naughty, "Look at what you said, are there any other Poincaré conjectures in the world?" ”

If Chen Yutao didn't know Ji Zhen and knew that there was such a person in his class, he would have wondered if someone was joking with him.

"I'll take a look first."

Chen Yutao opened the file and looked at it, and it seemed that it had been nearly an hour.

Of course, Ji Zhen's essay can't be more than 300 pages, but it is at least more than 50 pages. In these more than 50 pages, Ji Zhen expounds his direction, thinking and method of Poincaré's conjecture.

With these things, it's actually not a big problem. As long as there are no problems in the three aspects, then the remaining details can actually be handed over to the supercomputer.

Chen Yutao looked at Ji Zhen's paper, sometimes frowning, sometimes suddenly realized, and sometimes puzzled.

In the end, Chen Yutao looked at Ji Zhen, who was sitting in the office and poured himself tea, and then dialed a phone number.

"Teacher, do you have time now? I'll go to your place if I have time. ”

"Yes, I have a classmate who wrote a very interesting paper, and I want to ask you to help me read it."

"Okay, I'll go over now."

Chen Yutao pulled out the USB flash drive, and then said to Ji Zhen, "Let's go, follow me to meet someone." ”

Ji Zhen expected that this information would definitely be brought to others by Chen Yutao for verification, but he was not afraid. Because he has completely understood all the knowledge involved.

It can be said that Ji Zhen has the strength to rival that of a real professional mathematics professor in mathematics.

"Did you really do your own research?" Halfway through, Chen Yutao asked.

"Professor Chen, if you don't feel at ease, you can test me now."

Chen Yutao nodded, "Then I'm really tested." ”

Ji Zhen didn't speak, just stretched out his hand and motioned for the horse to come over.

“。。。 Integrable conditions for bounded discontinuous functions... ”

“。。。 Conditions under which nth-order matrices can be diagonalized... ”

Chen Yutao slipped out of his mouth one question after another, but Ji Zhen did not panic and answered fluently, revealing his solid mathematical skills.

After a while, Chen Yutao took Ji Zhen to a teaching and research building.

"You're going to show it to Professor Tan!" Ji Zhen immediately understood.

Tan Churui, Department of Mathematics of Yenching University, and even one of the mathematicians in the whole of China. He is over 60 years old this year, but he is still working the front line of scientific research because of his advanced mathematical expertise.

Chen Yutao didn't intend to hide it from Ji Zhen, and nodded.

The two came to Tan Churui's office. The whole office is very simple, a sofa, a desk, and then a large row of bookshelves, on which professional mathematics books are slowly placed.

Ji Zhen saw that many of them were foreign books and periodicals.

"Xiao Chen, is there anything that can't be solved and you need my help?" As soon as Tan Churui saw Chen Yutao coming in, he directly asked him about the key points, without beating around the bush at all.

Chen Yutao didn't ink, and said directly: "Teacher, I have something to look for you." That's right, my student's paper is on the Poincaré conjecture, and I looked at it, and it was very insightful, so I wanted you to take a look. ”

"Oh?"

Tan Churui was wearing glasses and glanced at Ji Zhen, "This is the student?" ”

Chen Yutao nodded.

"The eyes are smart but not frivolous, the temperament is confident and calm, and he is a good seedling."

The old man has experienced many ups and downs in his life, and he can see a lot of things just by his appearance.

Ji Zhen smiled, "Professor Tan, you have won the prize, luck, luck." ”

"Show me the information."

Chen Yutao installed the USB flash drive on Tan Churui's computer, opened the file, increased the font, and then let the other party look at it.

Professor Tan skipped the name and began to look at the text.

At first, Professor Tan was standing, and his eyes and face were a little careless. Then, Professor Tan pulled the chair over, sat down and looked at it seriously, his face became very serious, and the process of watching slowed down, and sometimes he had to think about it.

Professor Tan is obviously better than Chen Yutao, but it takes him a lot longer.

"Good, good, good, second! It's a stroke of genius! ”

Ji Zhen was about to fall asleep, and was awakened by Professor Tan's shout.

Wiping the non-existent saliva at the corner of his mouth, Ji Zhen looked over and was almost scared to pee.

At this time, Professor Tan Churui Tan looked at Ji Zhen as if he was looking at an amazing treasure, his eyes were shining, his face was red, and his hands were still trembling, as if he wanted to eat people.

"Are you alright?"

Professor Tan didn't pay attention to Ji Zhen's questioning at all, and people in their sixties rushed to Ji Zhen at an incredible speed.

"You wrote this Poincaré conjecture alone?"

Ji Zhen nodded.

"Are you really just an undergraduate student?"

Ji Zhen nodded.

"Did you really solve the Poincaré conjecture?"

Ji Zhen also nodded, "I think so, what do you think?" ”

Tan Churui's state is very excited, "My professional knowledge tells me that the direction, ideas and methods are all right. ”

"No, it's still not good for me to be alone, call, I have to call a few more people."

As he spoke, Professor Tan ignored Ji Zhen and ran back to his desk to make a phone call.

"Lao Wang, come here, I have a great discovery here."

"Lao Zhao, hurry up, I have a big discovery here."

After more than a dozen phone calls, Professor Tan stopped.

didn't let Ji Zhen wait much, and Professor Tan's office soon came to a group of old men, all of whom were big names in the Chinese scientific community. Among them, there are mathematics departments and physics departments, and they all have strong attainments in mathematics anyway.

"Old Tan, what are you calling us here for?"

Professor Tan didn't say much, and showed them the computer monitor.

"Yo ho, old Tan, I didn't expect you to start the theory of Poincaré's conjecture, I'll take a look."

"Really, I'll take a look too."

Under this onlooker, it was immediately unbearable, and the crowd became quiet.

"Bring me paper and a pen." Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted.

"Take more, I'll use it too."

As a result, Chen Yutao and Ji Zhen became pen and paper porters.
