"Is Wang Hao's proof in New Advances in Mathematics correct?"

Did Wang Hao prove Goldbach's conjecture in the second way? Also published in Acta Mathematica Sinica? ”

These two questions have become a hot topic among scholars.

At the same time.

Domestic public opinion has gradually emerged to discuss.

The proof of Goldbach's conjecture is definitely a big event, a big event in the mathematical world, a big event in the academic world, and the impact quickly spreads beyond the academic circle.

This is mainly because of the popularity.

In fact, Wang Hao's mathematical method of proving the Kakutani conjecture is no less effective in the field of mathematics than proving the Goldbach conjecture, but ordinary people don't care, because they don't understand what it means, and it is difficult to have much impact.

After reading the news, many people didn't care about it, and the only impression was that Wang Hao had completed a mathematical research.

It's powerful, that's all.

As for what might be used to get Fields, let's wait until they get Fields, they don't have much interest in the content.

Goldbach's conjecture is different.

This is what is found in primary school textbooks, and Chen Jingrun's '1+2' proof has been vigorously promoted, and his research has been at the forefront of the study of the Goldbach conjecture.

Now that this conjecture has been proven, or has it been proved by domestic scholars, it will naturally cause a lot of discussion.

Many people had already noticed it that night, and it was still time to go to work, and the topic had become a hot topic of public opinion.

7:29 a.m.

Yang Haiyan came to the propaganda office of the government affairs building on time, the official work time was eight o'clock, she came half an hour early, and after she came, she put down her things and prepared to go to the school cafeteria for breakfast.

At this time, the phone in the office rang.

Because it was not yet time to go to work, Yang Haiyan hesitated, but still answered the phone, and listened to the other side say, "This is Capital TV, I am news reporter Zhang Hui, can I make an appointment for an interview with Professor Wang Hao?" ”

"Professor Wang Hao?"

When Yang Haiyan heard that it was a reporter from Capital TV on the other side, she hesitated and said, "Okay, I'll write it down and I'll help you ask." ”

As soon as she put down the phone, the bell rang again, "Professor Meng from the Institute of Mathematics of the Academy of Sciences?" Would you like the contact information of Professor Hao Wang? ”

"This ...... I'm still going to ask him personally, don't worry, I'll talk to him. ”

Yang Haiyan exhaled lightly, and just put down the phone when the ringtone rang again.

She picked up the phone a little helplessly.

"What, doctoral student at Donggang University, you said you were a female fan of Wang Hao."

"I'm sorry, this ...... Schoolmate? I can't help you ask about this. If you want Wang Hao's contact information, you can find it yourself......"

Yang Haiyan rubbed her forehead vigorously, a little girl, she has already read a doctorate, why is she still chasing stars?

Moreover, chasing stars is chasing stars, and chasing Wang Hao?

Speaking of which, Wang Hao doesn't look bad, but he doesn't get to the level of a star, right?

"Bell bell bell ......"

The phone rang again.

Yang Haiyan picked up the phone very helplessly, he heard that it was a reporter from the Central Education Channel, and he also wanted to make an appointment for an interview with Wang Hao, she asked a little puzzled, "Why did you all catch up and call today?" ”

The other side was surprised and asked, "This teacher, don't you know?" ”

"Professor Wang Hao proved the Goldbach conjecture."

“——？！

”

Yang Haiyan was stunned, she shouted at the top of her voice, "What did you say? ”

"Wang Hao proved Goldbach's conjecture, I really don't know how you work, such a big thing, you don't even know, it's still your school's ......"

Yang Haiyan took a deep breath and was ridiculed by the other party for a few words, but she didn't pay attention to it at all.

With deep doubts, she walked out the door and heard two students say, "Did you watch the news?" Professor Wang Hao proved the Goldbach conjecture! ”

"Not just proven, but in two ways!"

"That's awesome-B!"

"I was stunned when I saw it in the morning...... God! ”

“……”

Yang Haiyan reacted immediately, rushed to the fifth floor of the teaching, ran directly into the science and technology department, and asked Zhu Jianhua breathlessly, "Zhu Jianrong, do you know about Wang Hao?" ”

"What?"

"Goldbach guess!?"

Zhu Jianrong was also stunned.

Yang Haiyan simply turned on her phone, found the latest report, and handed it to Zhu Jianrong.

Zhu Jianrong looked at the mobile phone screen, and saw a big headline on it--

"Major Achievements in the International Mathematical Community, Wang Hao's Completion of Goldbach's Conjecture".

……

The school is bustling.

Some reporters had already arrived, and they went to work in the morning, and the first thing they were told about was to come to Seohai University to do interviews.

Now all the reporters who can come here are from Xihai City, and they are all close to the surrounding area, and there are only a dozen of them, and they are not conspicuous when they walk in the school.

As time passed, the number of journalists who came to the city grew.

Wang Hao also came to the school.

He had gone to bed late the day before, and he had only gotten up at half-past seven to buy breakfast in the cafeteria, where he had met several students.

"Look! It's Professor Wang Hao! ”

"It's Mr. Wang!"

"Congratulations, Mr. Wang! You proved the Goldbach conjecture, right? ”

Wang Hao chuckled and nodded in confirmation.

He came to the cafeteria late, there were not many students inside, and after a brief breakfast, he went to the Mason Mason Lab.

After entering the director's office, I made a cup of coffee and sat down, only to remember to turn on my mobile phone.

The phone rang immediately.

"Congratulations, Wang Hao, I really didn't expect you to complete such a major research so quickly!" It was Qiu Chengwen who called.

Qiu Chengwen was old, got up early to work, and then saw the news.

Luckily, he made two phone calls and was connected, "To be honest, I was really surprised, this time last year, you proved the Kakutani conjecture, and now you have proved the Goldbach conjecture. ”

"In the field of analytic number theory, from now on, no one can compare with you."

Qiu Chengwen sighed and asked, "I also heard a message that you used two methods to prove it, and another paper was submitted to Acta Mathematica Sinica?" ”

"Becoming an Immortal"

"yes, it should be released in two days."

Qiu Chengwen was silent for a long time before he said, "...... Congratulations. ”

It is already surprising that Wang Hao completed the proof of Goldbach's conjecture, but considering Wang Hao's talent in analytic number theory and his past achievements.

In fact, to some extent, it is still acceptable.

But when he heard that the proof had been completed in two ways, even Qiu Chengwen, the first Chinese Fields winner and one of the world's most influential mathematicians, was shocked.

It's unimaginable.

He had always felt that he was a genius and had achieved high enough in mathematics that there were few mathematical achievements that surprised him.

Now something happened that he couldn't understand.

Goldbach conjecture, send two proofs together?

How?

After Wang Hao put down the phone, he received several calls in a row, all from the school.

Including Zhu Jianrong, Luan Haiping, Zhou Qingyuan, and so on.

They called to confirm the news, and then said congratulations with amazement, it seems that many people have mixed emotions?

Wang Hao didn't understand this emotion, and could only attribute it to surprise.

At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Zhang Zhiqiang didn't even knock on the door, he walked in directly and asked, "Wang Hao, have you proved Goldbach's conjecture?" Two other methods were used? ”

"yes, didn't you already know?" Wang Hao looked at him strangely.

"I knew?"

"I told you a long time ago, huh?"

Zhang Zhiqiang thought about it carefully, it seemed that there was such a thing, at that time he thought that Wang Hao's research had encountered a problem, and he didn't think that he really used two methods to prove it.

He froze in place for a long time, and then went to the student's workshop.

The laboratory was discussing this matter, and several graduate students and doctoral students were also talking about it.

Zhang Zhiqiang walked to the door and asked, "When did you all know?" Did anyone know about it early on? ”

The others listened with some confusion.

Helen walked in with a book and asked, "Teacher Zhang, it's very early, what time is it?" ”

"Ten days in advance? Half a month, or earlier? ”

Helen nodded when she listened, "If you mean fifteen days ago, I know, Teacher Wang told me that day." ”

A group of people suddenly saw Helen.

Zhang Zhiqiang was very surprised when he heard this, and he asked with incomprehension, "Then why don't you tell others?" ”

Helen's face was suddenly confused, and she was also full of puzzlement, "Others, didn't come to ask me?" ”

The others looked strange and pondered the logic of the relationship.

You know, no one asks, so don't say it?

But no one else knows what you know, right?

……

Wang Hao didn't stay in the office for long.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Luan Haiping and Yang Haiyan came over and talked to him about the school's external publicity and reporters' interviews.

This happened too hastily.

There was no preparation on the part of the school, and they only found out in the morning.

However, it can't be blamed that Wang Hao didn't say it, they thought about it carefully, it seemed that Wang Hao didn't hide the news, and he also went to the science and technology department to ask Zhu Jianrong, but the content was too amazing, Zhu Jianrong didn't believe it.

Others don't believe it either.

So it's to blame and blame everyone for not believing it.

Now there is no point in discussing this, the school quickly released a major achievement announcement, and more and more reporters came, so they came to Wang Hao to discuss.

Wang Hao agreed.

The press conference was scheduled for 2 p.m., when more reporters would attend.

As for the reporters who came later, I can only say I'm sorry.

It is impossible for them to meet all the requests of journalists, and the news media around Northern Xinjiang Province must give priority.

In fact, in the follow-up, there is no need for a special interview, and the news is mainly to know the specific news.

This needs to be confirmed by Wang Hao himself.

……

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

In the large conference room of the government affairs building, the press conference officially began.

Wang Hao sat in the most central position.

There were still deans, vice principals, and the like sitting next to him, but they couldn't attract a shot at all.

All the shots point to Wang Hao.

Yang Haiyan, director of the Propaganda Office, first confirmed the news of Wang Hao's proof of Goldbach's conjecture, and then went directly to the interview and question time.

A reporter immediately asked, "Excuse me, Professor Wang Hao, when did you complete your research?" ”

Wang Hao said, "The proof published in New Advances in Mathematics was completed 20 days ago; There is another paper, which was submitted to Acta Mathematica Sinica, which was completed half a month ago. ”

The reporter asked, "Can you give a brief introduction to each of the two proof methods?" ”

Wang Hao said, "Then I'll talk about it briefly." The title of this article published by "New Advances in Mathematics", you can also see the title, is a proof made by the overlay method. ”

"This method is to prove that the combination of prime numbers in pairs can cover all even numbers, and I think this method is more difficult than the other method......"

"The other method is the analytical method, which is simple and straightforward, which is to divide an even number into two prime numbers, one of which is a prime number, and the other must also have a prime number......"

"If you want to understand it deeply, you can read my original paper, which should be available in a few days."

Wang Hao didn't say too much in-depth content.

The reporters in the audience were also very patient in listening, even if they didn't understand something, they had to write it down, because every sentence could become news.

The reporter continued to ask, "Generally speaking, the review speed is very slow, why did your paper only take half a month to complete the review?" ”

Wang Hao smiled, "I think you can interview the editorial office of New Advances in Mathematics or Acta Mathematica Sinica. ”

"But I think it's normal, because the difficulty of the paper is not high."

"The slow review speed you're talking about may be a reference to major studies, such as Wiles's 1994 proof of Fermat's conjecture."

"But my paper is only about 30 pages, and the other one is only about 20 pages, and the difficulty is not as high as I imagined, as long as I have enough knowledge, I can still understand it......"

Wang Hao accepted the interview very calmly and calmly answered the questions.

However, journalists listen awkwardly because they always hear modifiers such as 'easy' and 'not difficult'.

Goldbach's conjecture?

Simple?

That's a super math puzzle that no one has been able to prove for 280 years!

But thinking about it from another angle, Wang Hao proved it in two ways, and it seems that it is really simple for him?

At the same time.

At the gate of Xihai University, several middle-aged and elderly people were standing there.

The north wind is howling.

They are experts in the superconductivity office, including Wu Hui, Deng Binghe and others, they all feel very bad, today is a special early morning, caught the plane to Xihai University.

talked all the way, and when I arrived at the school gate, I realized that something was wrong.

More than a dozen security guards lined the door, making it clear that non-campus personnel were not allowed to enter.

After arriving here, they learned that Wang Hao had proved Goldbach's conjecture, and their mood suddenly became complicated.

Along the way, they were all talking about what problems might exist in the physics laboratory, why they couldn't come to investigate at the beginning of the month, and analyzed all kinds of possibilities.

"Wang Hao completed the proof of Goldbach's conjecture?"

"Today's news is released!"

"That's why they say the beginning of the month was busy?"

A group of people all looked at Deng Binghe, and there was a meaning in their eyes - this is what you said 'there must be a problem'?

Deng Binghe was a little ashamed, but he felt very aggrieved.

Who would have thought of such a thing?

That was Goldbach's conjecture, and the result was proved by Wang Hao? They are also just in time for the day of the paper's release. It's better to be one day earlier or one day late!

He simply went over to negotiate with the security guards, and was finally allowed to go.

It was supposed to be a surprise attack.

Their initial idea was to go straight to the physics lab when they entered the school, and make a sudden move, and they would naturally find out if there was any problem.

But in the end, after stopping at the gate of the school for a while, the people of the physics experiment had already known, and He Yi and a few people from the laboratory were waiting at the door.

At this point, the expert group is embarrassed.

They could only stagger and not talk about the 'raid', and directly asked questions about the results of the experiment.

He Yi patiently explained, and also talked about some problems in the report.

He really participated in the whole experiment, even if it was not like Wang Hao who knew some theoretical content, but there was definitely no problem with the experiment.

Because Wang Hao could not be seen in person, the only thing the expert group could be sure of was that there was basically no problem with the experiment.

What's next?

When they came over once, they wanted to talk to Wang Hao about the research direction of the project, but they couldn't see Wang Hao at all.

Even if you meet in person, you can't spend a lot of time discussing it.

This trip came for nothing?

"At the very least, we were sure that there were no problems with the experiment." Wu Hui was also a little depressed, and at the same time, he also felt very shocked in his heart, he still comforted the others, "There is no problem with the experiment, it is the biggest gain, and the rest will be discussed later!" ”

This concludes the journey of the expert group.

They didn't have time to wait for Wang Hao, and they didn't know how long they would have to wait, but they just thought about it, they were still very depressed when they didn't see Wang Hao on a trip.

On the other hand, Wang Hao is indeed very busy, he doesn't have any work to do, but accepts all kinds of interviews and congratulations.

Now public opinion on the Internet has become hot.

When walking on the road to school, it will attract a lot of onlookers.

So Wang Hao simply hid in the director's office, and finally cleaned up after being stuffy inside.

The phone rang.

Wang Hao looked at his phone a little depressed, and found that it was Peng Hui who still pressed the answer button.

Peng Hui called and congratulated, "I was so surprised to hear the news today, but it's normal to think it's you!" ”

His voice is still very loud, and his tone is very open.

"Thanks, how's your project going?"

Wang Hao refers to the latest project of the metal laboratory, which is a horizontal project announced by Wuhan Iron and Steel Group.

From the second half of last year to the present, the metal laboratory has been striving for this project, and the horizontal project of Wuhan Iron and Steel Group is still relatively large, with a conservative estimate of more than 50 million sponsorships.

This level of project can be said to be the largest project that university laboratories can strive for.

Peng Hui sighed and said, "Failed? Probably, I don't think there's much chance of it. His tone was visibly lonely.

"Failed?" Wang Hao was suddenly surprised.

When he was at the Science Foundation, Peng Hui was still very confident that there was no problem in winning the project.

Because their biggest competitor, the alloy laboratory of Donggang University, has a problem, which means that there is no competitor.

Peng Hui sighed and said, "I still lost!" Chen Jianlin, amazing! The level of research and development is remarkable, and the means are also remarkable. ”

Wang Hao frowned and asked, "In the end, the project was given to the alloy laboratory?" ”

"It's not certain yet, but I know that there's a better chance over there." Peng Hui said, "The application report they submitted is so good, I know a little, I am ashamed!" ”

"Is it just a report?"

"And basic research!" Peng Hui said, "The project they cooperated with WISCO last year also did very well, but it was suddenly stopped halfway, and they have other hole cards, including some previous research ......"

"In short, we don't have much of a chance."

"Well, don't be too upset, without this, you can fight for other projects."

Wang Hao comforted Peng Hui, he was still very surprised by the result, he thought that Peng Hui's team would definitely be able to win it, but the project was still snatched away by Chen Jianlin?

Chen Jianlin, he is really not a mortal!
