"Ye Fei, the Mathematics Society has agreed that you will come to the stage to make an academic report and make an academic report for one hour."

At this time, the president was on the phone with Ye Fei.

Ye Fei was excited that he could come on stage to give an academic report, and he could absorb a lot of inspiration.

Moreover, it is also a one-hour academic report, which proves that his thesis is very valued by the Xia National Mathematics Society.

He smiled and said: "Thank you, President, I will definitely do a good academic report and not embarrass our association." ”

"Haha......" the president laughed, "I'm waiting for your good news." ”

"I'll tell you the process now, at ten o'clock in the morning on the thirteenth, I came to Room 201 of the building of the Chang'an Number Theory Association, and got to know the rest of the people in the association who participated in the International Conference of Young Mathematicians, went to Kyoto on the 14th, and participated in the International Conference of Young Mathematicians on the 15th."

"Yes!"

"Then I won't bother, you must remember to arrive in Chang'an at about ten o'clock in the morning on the thirteenth, you can't miss it."

"I see."

Early in the morning of the thirteenth, Ye Fei took a plane to Chang'an.

Around ten o'clock, I went to the building of the Association for Number Theory.

At this time, three people had gathered in a large office.

When Ye Fei entered, everyone looked at Ye Fei.

"He's Ye Fei?"

"It's him, I heard that he proved the ABC conjecture, and not long ago proved the Gaussian conjecture."

"Yes!"

"Demon, you can study mathematics so fast."

“……”

The three of them seemed to know each other, and they all looked at Ye Fei as if they were curious babies.

The three of them are all older than Ye Fei, all of them are around forty.

Ye Fei, who was in his twenties, looked very tender, and stood with them, looking out of place.

"Hello!" A man with glasses and a square face stepped forward, stretched out his hand and smiled: "You are also here to attend the International Conference of Young Mathematicians, my name is Xu Wen, a professor of mathematics at Southwest University, mainly studying twin prime conjectures." ”

"Hello, Ye Fei." Ye Fei stretched out his hand and smiled: "Professor of mathematics at Zhonghu University, mainly researching Gaussian conjecture. ”

"Lin Zhou, a professor of mathematics at Kyoto University, specializes in the Landau-Siegel zero-point conjecture."

"Yuan Zhengsong, a professor of mathematics at Lu Provincial University, mainly studies the Beale conjecture."

The other two also came up to shake hands with Ye Fei and introduce themselves.

Ye Fei was amazed in his heart, they are all cattle, and it is difficult to study things.

The twin prime conjecture is the big pit.

The Landau-Siegel zero-point conjecture is as difficult as the Riemann conjecture.

And Beer's conjecture, although unknown, is a more difficult conjecture than Fermat's theorem.

Ye Fei looked at Yuan Zhengsong in surprise and asked, "Why do you want to study Bill's conjecture?" ”

Beer's conjecture is a conjecture about the theory of numbers, which is more difficult to solve than another mathematical puzzle related to it, Fermat's theorem.

On June 5, 2013, a banker in Texas, North Korea, offered a $1 million reward to prove Beal's conjecture.

Whoever can prove Beal's conjecture will receive a million dollars.

Of course, mathematicians don't just prove puzzles for the sake of prize money.

Moreover, the mathematicians who can prove Beer's conjecture are not short of this million dollars.

Yuan Zhengsong laughed dryly, almost all mathematicians, when they first met him, knew that he was studying Beer's conjecture, they would ask this question, he was used to it.

Yuan Zhengsong said: "Then why did you prove the Gaussian conjecture?" ”

Ye Fei said: "Of course I'm here to prove Gauss's conjecture!" ”

"Then why did you prove the Gauss conjecture?"

"To prove the Riemann hypothesis."

Yuan Zhengsong spread his hands and said, "I have the same idea as you, I went to study Beer's conjecture in order to study Fermat's theorem." ”

Beer's conjecture is a generalization of Fermat's theorem.

It took mathematicians 350 years to prove Fermat's theorem.

But the proof process is long, complex, and relies on modern specialized mathematics.

As a result, only a very small number of people can understand it.

If Beer's conjecture is proved, Fermat's theorem can be proved in a more concise way, so that more people can understand the process of proving Fermat's theorem.

Ye Fei shook his head and said: "But it took 350 years to prove Fermat's theorem, and Bill's conjecture, which is more complicated than Fermat's theorem, I don't know when it will be proved!" ”

"Where has your Bill's conjecture come to prove?"

Yuan Zhengsong's face was embarrassed, he looked at Ye Fei with resentment, and said, "If you don't ask this question, we can be friends." ”

"Haha......" Xu Wen and Zhou Lin laughed, they knew that Ye Fei would say this next.

Since they met Yuan Zhengsong, they often heard others ask Yuan Zhengsong where Bill's conjecture had been proved.

And every time at this moment, Yuan Zhengsong would look at each other with embarrassment on his face, and said that if he didn't ask this question, we could be friends.

Yuan Zhengsong glared at Xu Wen and Zhou Lin fiercely.

"Yo ......" The chairman and a middle-aged man walked in, the chairman looked at Ye Fei and the four of them, and said with a smile: "It's all talked!" ”

The four of them immediately said, "President! ”

The president looked at the four of them and said, "Everyone find a place to sit down." ”

After everyone sat down, the president said, "Time is pressing, let me talk about the precautions for participating in the International Conference of Young Mathematicians." ”

"The leader of the team this time is Academician Wei Wanping."

As he spoke, the chairman looked at the middle-aged man beside him and said, "Academician Wei, say a few words!" ”

Wei Wanlin nodded to Ye Fei and the others, and said: "I will lead the team this time, I have participated in the International Congress of Mathematicians, and I will also lead people from the Number Theory Association to participate, so my request to you is that all arrangements are under my command." ”

"Okay, Academician Wei." Ye Fei is humane.

The president said: "Academician Wei has participated in many conferences and conferences at home and abroad, and many conferences are led by him, so he has a lot of experience in leading the team to participate in the conference, and you must listen to his command." ”

"The conference was attended by 150 countries and more than 4,000 young mathematicians."

"There are more than 500 people who give one-hour academic reports, more than 1,000 people who give 40-minute academic reports, more than 2,000 people who give half-hour academic reports, and the rest of them do 10-minute academic reports."

All participants in the International Congress of Young Mathematicians are required to give academic presentations.

The maximum is one hour, and the minimum is half an hour.

And ten minutes can hardly be counted as an academic presentation.

Because all those who attend the International Congress of Young Mathematicians can give a ten-minute academic presentation.

In addition, the time frame is very short, and the content of the reports that can be made is limited.

Ye Fei smacked his tongue, there were so many people attending the International Conference of Young Mathematicians, and he thought that it would be good to have 2,000 people participate.

You must know that even the largest event in mathematics, the International Congress of Mathematicians, has more than 3,000 participants.

The International Congress of Young Mathematicians has more than 1,000 more people than the International Congress of Mathematicians.

In fact, it is also easy to understand that people have a limited lifespan, and the older they are, the fewer they are.

Therefore, this leads to the fact that there are the most young mathematicians in the world and the fewest older mathematicians.

"The International Congress of Young Mathematicians lasts for ten days and has 30 lecture halls, and you are in the number theory lecture hall."

"There are more than 700 young mathematicians in number theory, of which more than 80 are giving one-hour academic reports, more than 200 are 45-minute academic reports, more than 300 are half-hour academic reports, and the rest are 10-minute academic reports."

"You have to listen to all of these academic reports, the process may be boring and long, but it is a necessary thing."

Ye Fei and the four of them were helpless in their hearts, for ten days, listening to every report meeting was indeed very boring and long.

Even watching a movie for ten days is very tiring, let alone listening to a ten-day academic report.

The president looked at Ye Fei and said, "This time at the International Conference of Young Mathematicians, Ye Fei has a one-hour academic report, and Academician Wei will tell you which one to appear in." ”

Xu Wen and the others looked at Ye Fei in surprise, they didn't expect Ye Fei to have an hour's academic report.

This is the highest level of academic presentation.

At this time, Ye Fei's weight in the hearts of the three of them increased significantly.

"Xu Wen and Zhou Lin have a half-hour academic report, and Yuan Zhengsong has a forty-five-minute academic report."

Ye Fei glanced at Yuan Zhengsong in surprise.

Yuan Zhengsong has a 45-minute academic report, and it seems that he also has significant academic research.

Ye Feixin said: "Could it be Bill's conjecture?" ”

Then Ye Fei said with some surprise in his heart: "Impossible!" ”

It's impossible to think about, and Beer's conjecture is a more difficult conjecture than Fermat's theorem.

Not to mention research, it is very difficult for ordinary people to even understand.

And if Yuan Zhengsong has a breakthrough in the Beale conjecture, it will not just be a 45-minute academic report, but an hour-long academic report.

Even if it is a small breakthrough, there will be an hour of academic presentation.

"What if it's not Bill's guess?"

Ye Fei suppressed the doubts in his heart and continued to listen to the president's speech.

Then the president said a number of precautions.

Half an hour later, the president said: "Okay, that's all, I hope you will achieve good results at the International Conference of Young Mathematicians, so that the Xia Kingdom mathematics community will shine in front of mathematicians around the world." ”

On the second day, Ye Fei and others took a plane to Kyoto.

The International Congress of Young Mathematicians was held at the Kyoto International Convention Center.

The International Congress of Mathematicians was held here, and the International Congress of Young Mathematicians is still held here.

Ye Fei and the others stayed at a five-star hotel near the Kyoto International Convention Center.

It has been contracted by the Xia National Mathematical Society, and all scholars who participate in the conference can stay for free during the conference.

Ye Fei and the others walked from the hall to the room, and saw many young scholars, many of whom were discussing academic issues.

"See the guy who just passed us?" Xu Wendao.

Ye Fei glanced back, it was a blonde and blue-eyed white young man, looking about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, tall and handsome, and smiling very sunny.

He doesn't look like a mathematician, but like a star.

Ye Fei said suspiciously: "What's wrong?" ”

Xu Wendao: "He is the son of James Maynard. ”

Ye Fei said in surprise: "The 2022 Fields Medal winner, James Maynard? ”

James Maynard, a famous mathematician in England, studied number theory and made significant contributions to analytic number theory, the structure of prime numbers, and the Diophan approximation.

"Yes!" Xu Wen nodded and said: "It's him, his name is Amatha Maynard, he perfectly inherited his father's genes, he is extremely talented in mathematics, he graduated from Cambridge University at the age of eighteen with a doctorate in mathematics, and then taught at Cambridge University, engaged in number theory research." ”

"Is it with his father?" Ye Fei asked.

"It's not!" Xu Wen shook his head: "He didn't study with his father, but alone." ”

"Speaking of which." Xu Wen looked at Ye Fei and said with a smile: "His research also collided with you, and he is also studying the Gauss conjecture." ”

"And not long ago, he published a paper on Arxiv on the Gaussian conjecture of class numbers."

Ye Fei was surprised in his heart, and then said funny: "It really collided with me, I also study the Gaussian conjecture, and I also published a paper on the Gaussian conjecture on Arxiv not long ago." ”

"So!" Xu Wen shook his head and said, "If all of you have made academic reports at the International Congress of Mathematicians about the Gaussian number conjecture, then you will be under pressure." ”

"When both of you are working on the same problem, the scholars present will compare your papers."

"Are you afraid?"

Ye Fei pretended to be disdainful and said: "What's there to be afraid of, there are too many people who are better than me, how old is he?" ”

"Haha......" Xu Wen and the three laughed.

In fact, Ye Fei still has some pressure in his heart, after all, he is the son of a Fields Medal winner, and he must be very strong in ability.

And, through Xu Wen's introduction, he graduated from Cambridge University with a doctorate in mathematics at the age of eighteen, and this person's ability is very strong.

"Hmph......" Ye Fei snorted coldly in his heart: "What are you afraid of?" I'm a systematic person, how can I be afraid of him? ”
