"By the way, Elder Chen, what did you have the meeting for earlier? Mysterious and mysterious? Junxin asked curiously.

Professor Chen just smiled when he heard this and said, "Hehe, they will announce it later, don't be in a hurry for a while, be patient!" ”

When Jun Xin heard this, he was not in a hurry, and turned to look at Principal William, who had re-established himself on the stage.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming to the press conference of the report meeting of Junxin's Modell conjecture. However, the purpose of this press conference is not only that, but also on behalf of the American Mathematical Society and the Clay Institute for Mathematics, I would like to invite the head of the Clay Institute of Mathematics, Professor West-Brown, to welcome! ”

"The Clay Institute?" Junxin seemed to suddenly realize, but felt a little incredulous, "Could it be that?" ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for being able to stay and hear me hear this news. Before that, I would like to thank Professor Chern of the American Mathematical Society for his strong support and help in the decision of our Clay Institute for Mathematics, and I would also like to thank the keynote speaker of this conference, Mr. Junxin from China, who might not be able to have this gathering today if it were not for his groundbreaking research. In addition, I would like to thank Princeton for providing all the logistical services for this conference, and thank you to President William and his colleagues at Princeton. Professor Brown said passionately. Jun Xin, Professor Chen, and President William were all courteous after hearing their names

owed a body to show courtesy to Professor Brown.

"Yesterday, after all the keynote speeches of Mr. Junxin and other supplementary professors, we at the Clay Institute of Mathematics made such a decision after collective discussion, through the discussion of the American Mathematical Society, with the support of the chairman Professor Chen, members of the Mathematical Society and senior leaders."

Professor Brown looked around very carefully and said with a serious face: "We will set up a prize fund to recognize mathematicians who have made breakthroughs in the field of basic mathematics. ”

"With the decision of the Clay Institute for Mathematics and the American Mathematical Society, we will set aside 10 million US dollars to correspond to the 10 most basic problems that need to be solved urgently in the mathematical community, and set up a prize of 1 million US dollars for each corresponding problem. The requirement is that it must be published in a regular mathematics journal, and after the correctness is confirmed by the mathematical community, we will award this prize to you. ”

As soon as Professor Brown's words fell, the scene of the press conference, which had just been quiet, seemed to be ignited, and it completely detonated.

"Professor, what is the reason for your decision?"

"Professor, where does the fund come from?"

"Professor, do you have any requirements for the winners?"

"Professor, what kind of problems do you have?"

"Professor,......"

……

"Old Chen, this is ......" Although Junxin had already guessed this result, he was still shocked by the Clay Institute of Mathematics's generosity.

"Hehe, I was shocked when they came to me, but after they explained why, I didn't think there was anything wrong with that. Ten million dollars may seem like a lot, but it's not a lot for the Clay Institute of Mathematics, and their annual funding is far more than that. ”

"Then why are they..."

"In this world, no one will do something aimlessly, and the Clay Institute of Mathematics is naturally the same. To be honest, in the United States, because of the large number of universities that allocate excellent research resources, for research institutions, if they do not reach the corresponding level, the influence of general research institutes is far less than that of university research institutes, of course, except for some large research institutes at the national level. ”

"The scale of the Clay Institute of Mathematics is medium, naturally not as good as some large research institutes, so it can only be regarded as more than second-rate, below first-class, which is a bit more than the upper than the bottom. So this time it was not only for the development of mathematics, but also for the promotion of the reputation of the Clay Institute of Mathematics, so this decision was made. ”

Jun Xin was stunned, and he didn't ask anymore. At that time, the seven major mathematical problems of the millennium proposed by the Clay Institute of Mathematics were also a sensation, which had a great impact on the mathematical community and also enhanced the reputation of the Clay Institute of Mathematics. In this way, it can indeed be said that they have not suffered a loss.

Junxin looked at Professor Brown again, only to see that Professor Brown waited for a long time before calming down the quarrel below and said, "Regarding your question, our Clay Institute of Mathematics will have a special press conference to explain. However, since this is a special conference for Mr. Junxin's Moder conjecture, I will just briefly talk about some mathematical problems. ”

"After rigorous discussions, we have set up a total of 10 problems, which are the complete problem of P=NP, the Hodge conjecture, the Riemann conjecture, the Poincaré conjecture, the Shimura conjecture or Fermat's theorem, the Chenning Yang-Mills equation, the Neville-Stoker equation, the BSD conjecture, the Eldsch difference, and the ABC conjecture."

"We will postpone the other questions for the time being, and the fifth and tenth questions are related to today's topic, the Moder conjecture, and we have asked Mr. Junxin to explain the meaning of these two questions for you, and everyone is welcome."

Junxin just wanted to ask Professor Chen about his ABC conjecture, but when he heard Professor Brown's invitation, he suppressed his mind and walked towards the podium.

"Mr. Junxin, I hope you don't blame me for being abrupt, but the explanation of these two questions was recommended by Chairman Chen, and I hope you can understand." When Professor Brown and Junxin shook hands, Professor Brown whispered.

Junxin shook his head, indicating that it had nothing to do with it, and then re-ascended the podium and began to explain: "The fifth problem, the Taniyama-Shimura conjecture or Fermat's theorem, was first proposed by me when I was in correspondence with Professor Faltins around November last year. However, Professor Faltings thought the letter was instructive, so he published it as a piece of news in the Annals of Mathematics, which was a conjecture that was named after me at the time, the Junxin Conjecture. I later proved this conjecture and published it in the first issue of the Annals of Mathematics in January 1982. To put it simply, the Taniyama-Shimura conjecture is a conjecture on an elliptic line, and the proof of the Taniyama-Shimura conjecture proves Fermat's theorem. The relationship between the two, I have already given in my paper. ”

"But the ABC conjecture about the last one has a lot of stories..."
