August 15th, Kyoto International Convention Center!

Half past seven in the morning!

At this time, the door of the International Conference Center was wide open, and countless young mathematicians walked inside.

All of them were excited, excited, apprehensive.

The International Conference of Young Mathematicians is a stage for young mathematicians to show their abilities to the world.

Although usually they can hang their papers on Arxiv and publish them in academic journals.

But that's different, there are countless papers on Arxiv every day, and your published papers may be buried.

Published in academic journals, it is not a competition with young mathematicians, but with all mathematicians around the world, and the difficulty is increased exponentially.

Whether it's Arxiv or academic journals, it is very difficult for young scholars to stand out among them.

But the International Congress of Young Mathematicians is different, and it is young scholars who compete with each other.

And it has attracted a lot of attention from countries around the world.

So, if you can stand out in it, you can become famous.

Mathematicians become famous, and there are too many benefits.

Whether it is to promote the title, obtain funds, or be noticed by the bigwigs, it is very convenient.

At the entrance of the International Convention Center!

Journalists from all over the world have long gathered here.

Su Yue, a reporter from Xia Guo CCTV, held a microphone, stood in front of the camera, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, good morning, this is the Kyoto International Convention Center, where the International Conference of Young Mathematicians will be held. ”

"The International Congress of Young Mathematicians is the most concerned conference besides the International Congress of Mathematicians."

"At the same time, it is also one of the most watched conferences in the scientific community."

"The strength of a country depends on science and technology, the potential of science and technology depends on academics, the academic heritage depends on mathematics, and the future of mathematics depends on young mathematicians."

“……”

Under the leadership of Academician Wei, Ye Fei and the four of them followed Academician Wei to the International Conference Center.

Academician Wei said: "Remember, Ye Fei, your academic report is in the 615th session, which is the fifteenth session on the sixth day. ”

"Yuan Zhengsong, you are the 525th game, the 25th game on the fifth day."

"Zhou Lin, it's the 321st, the 21st on the third day."

"Xu Wen, you are 305 games, the fifth game on the third day."

"Remember the general order of your first few days, and when you are ready, an announcer will call you by name."

Academic presentations, in order, are first half-hour academic presentations, then forty-five minutes, then one hour, and finally the rest are ten-minute academic reports.

The half-hour academic presentation was the most numerous, followed by the 45-minute academic presentation, followed by the 10-minute academic presentation.

The minimum number of participants is an hour-long academic presentation.

"Got it!" Ye Fei is humane.

The International Congress of Young Mathematicians has a total of 20 lecture halls, and academic presentations are held at the same time.

Each lecture hall is a classification of mathematics.

Among them, the largest number of people are the number theory lecture hall, the algebra lecture hall, the geometry lecture hall, the topology lecture hall and the operations research lecture hall.

After Ye Fei and the others entered, they sat in their seats according to the length of the academic reports they made.

The length of the academic report and the sitting position are different.

The people who gave the academic presentation for one hour sat together, and the people sat together for forty minutes.

And people like Academician Wei are also sitting with a group of academicians.

After Ye Fei sat down, he looked around.

Most of the people sitting around him were Caucasian, a few were yellow, and the least were black.

All the people sitting next to him were yellows.

From the seats, it can be seen that the positions of yellows, whites and blacks are distinct.

The same race all gathered and sat together.

"Hello!" Sitting next to Ye Fei was a fat man with glasses, who looked very festive, and always showed a kind smile on his face.

He stretched out his hand to Ye Fei with a smile and said, "My name is Song Chengkun, a professor of mathematics at Bay University University. ”

"Hello!" Ye Fei shook hands with him with a smile and said, "Professor of mathematics at Zhonghu University in Xia Guo, Ye Fei!" ”

Song Chengkun looked at Ye Fei with some surprise and said, "Professor Ye looks very young, he is really young and promising to be a mathematics professor at such a young age!" ”

Ye Fei chuckled and said, "The school raises love, let me be a professor." ”

Song Chengkun naturally didn't believe this, if you don't have the ability, the school can let you be a university professor, which is impossible.

Song Chengkun asked, "What does Professor Ye study in number theory?" ”

"Gaussian conjecture!"

"Is it to study the Riemann conjecture?"

This is common knowledge in mathematics, and the ultimate study of Gauss's conjecture is the Riemann conjecture.

Ye Fei shook his head and said: "I didn't think about it so much, I was just interested in the Gaussian conjecture, and the Riemann conjecture, I think there are many people in the mathematical community who want to study it!" ”

"I also want to do research, but my ability is limited."

"Maybe one day in the future, I feel that I am capable enough, so I will study the Riemann hypothesis."

"I definitely don't have the ability to study it now."

"Even if you want to, you have no heart."

The Riemann conjecture is coveted by everyone in the mathematical community, and if it is proved successfully, he will become the most famous mathematician in the world.

But the Riemann conjecture was placed there, and no one has been able to prove it successful so far.

Song Chengkun nodded slightly, sighed, and said helplessly: "Yes, it's too difficult, and I have no heart." ”

Ye Fei asked, "I don't know what you're studying?" ”

"Triplets prime!"

Ye Fei looked at him in astonishment, another person with a hole in his head.

It's not good to study anything, you have to study prime numbers.

This is the biggest pit of number theory.

Among primes, there are twin primes, as well as triplets and quadruplets primes.

The difference between them, as the name suggests.

A twin prime is two primes that differ by 2.

Triplets prime numbers are three adjacent odd numbers.

A quadruplet prime is a consecutively four prime numbers within ten.

Song Chengkun looked at Ye Fei's strange expression, and said suspiciously: "What's wrong?" ”

"It's fine!" Ye Fei shook his head.

"Is there a problem with my research?" Song Chengkun asked.

"No problem!" Ye Feidao.

"And what's your expression?"

Ye Fei said helplessly: "I just feel that you are very brave and go to study prime numbers." ”

"What's wrong with studying prime numbers?" Song Chengkun said: "Do you think prime numbers are a big pit and should not be studied?" Afraid that I'll be stuck in and won't be able to get out? ”

Ye Fei didn't speak, but the expression on his face was already obvious.

Yes, I just think it's a big hole, I'm afraid you won't be able to climb out of it.

"If only everybody thought like you." Song Chengkun said: "No one studies prime numbers, international cryptography cannot be developed, information security cannot be guaranteed, and the prime numbers needed by industry cannot be updated." ”

"So, I have to study prime numbers."

"If I don't go to hell, who will?"

Ye Fei listened to the deafening, yes, if everyone doesn't study, then many industries need primes, and they won't be able to develop.

Ye Fei doubted himself in his heart: "Could it be that I was wrong?" Should I try to study prime numbers? ”

Song Chengkun said: "Actually, prime numbers are not as terrible as you think. ”

"And the reason why many people think that prime numbers are big holes is because there is no end to the study of prime numbers."

"If you're tired of studying prime numbers, you can give up at any time."

Ye Fei nodded in his heart, as if this was the case, he could give up at any time.

There's no shame in giving up.

Ye Fei asked with interest: "How many years have you been studying prime numbers?" ”

"Ten years!"

"How many prime numbers have you found?"

"Uh......" Song Chengkun hesitated on his face and said with a dry smile: "I haven't found one yet." ”

Ye Fei was speechless in his heart, he had been studying for ten years, and he hadn't found a prime number.

Then you have really studied for nothing in the past ten years.

Of course, Ye Fei would definitely not say this.

Song Chengkun said: "Although I didn't find a prime number, it allowed me to have a certain study of the Fibonacci sequence. ”

Prime numbers have little to do with the Fibonacci sequence.

But Fermat's minor theorem has a lot to do with the Fibonacci sequence.

There is a certain relationship between prime numbers and Fermat's theorem.

Therefore, prime numbers are related to the Fibonacci sequence.

The Fibonacci sequence, also known as the golden section sequence.

It was introduced as an example of rabbit breeding, so it is also called a rabbit sequence.

The Fibonacci sequence has a great role in the scientific community, and has direct applications in modern physics, quasicrystalline structure, chemistry, and other fields.

In addition, the Fibonacci sequence is also widely used in computer C language programs.

To this end, since 1963, the North Korean Mathematical Society has published a mathematical journal under the name of the Fibonacci Quarterly Series, which is dedicated to the results of research in this area.

Ye Fei asked with interest: "What aspects of research?" ”

Song Chengkun said: "Generalized Fibonacci sequence. ”

Ye Fei said: "That's pretty good." ”

As he spoke, the academic presentation on the stage had already begun.

In the next few days, Ye Fei chatted with Song Chengkun and listened to the academic report.

He felt that it was not so boring to have someone to talk to.

Ye Fei asked, "What kind of academic report did you do?" ”

"Application of Infinite Series to Proof of Correlation Properties of Fibonacci Sequences."

Ye Fei nodded: "What are you on?" ”

“601！”

"The first of the sixth day?" Ye Fei was stunned, he turned out to be on the same day as his academic report.

"yes!" Song Chengkun said: "Speaking of which, we have two great gods who are going to play that day. ”

"Great God?" Ye Fei was puzzled: "Who?" ”

"One is James. Maynard's son, Amata Maynard. ”

"One is Barats Hawkins, a student of Vladimir Vvotsky."

"The two of them, Amata is 613 and Balatz is 614."

"Vladimir Vvotsky?" Ye Fei was surprised: "Is it the 2002 Fields Medal winner?" ”

"It's him!" Song Chengkun said with a smile: "I heard that the subject of the academic report of these two people is exactly the same, one is the son of a Fields Medal winner, and the other is a student of a Fields Medal winner. ”

"The International Mathematical Union is also interesting, and the academic reports of these two people are placed next to each other."

"It's really fun, there's a good show to watch."

Ye Fei was surprised, he didn't expect that there was another person, plus himself, it would be three people.

Ye Fei asked, "I heard that there is another person who also has the same topic as their academic report. ”

"One more?" Song Chengkun said in surprise: "This person is looking for death!" ”

"It's exactly the same as the topic of these two people's academic reports, can he beat these two!"

"If he does this, isn't this a fight between immortals and a disaster for mortals!"

Song Chengkun shook his head and said with emotion on his face: "I don't know what to say, this person is really stupid." ”

Ye Fei rolled his eyes in his heart, you are stupid, your whole family is stupid.

Song Chengkun smiled: "It's more interesting now." ”

"This person came to the International Conference of Young Mathematicians for nothing."

"He must have regretted that he chose the same topic for his academic report as Amata."

Ye Fei said cautiously: "I don't think he should regret it!" ”

Song Chengkun glanced at Ye Fei and said, "You are not him, how do you know that he will not regret it." ”

Ye Fei slandered in his heart: "Of course I know, because I am that person!" ”

Song Chengkun asked, "By the way, which one is your academic report?" What is the theme? ”

"615, the theme is Gaussian class number conjecture!"

“615？” Song Chengkun said in surprise: "It's the same day as me, and it's still behind Armatta and Balats, they ......."

Suddenly, Song Chengkun's eyes widened and he looked at Ye Fei in dismay.

The air seemed to freeze, and a flock of crows flew overhead.

After a long time, Song Chengkun smiled dryly: "Ye Fei, you are ......"

"Yes!" Ye Fei nodded: "That's what you think in your heart, I'm the one who does the same academic report as Amata and Balats." ”

"Hehe...... Song Chengkun smiled dryly: "That, Ye Fei, can you forget what I just said?" ”

Ye Fei said: "I don't think I can forget, I was called stupid for the first time, I was impressed!" ”

"Haha......" Song Chengkun smiled: "Ye Fei, are we friends?" ”

"Ten minutes ago it was, not now."

"Don't, Ye Fei."

Time quietly came to the sixth day, and the first session of the sixth day was Song Chengkun's academic report.

During this time, Ye Fei listened to many academic reports, and also opened his eyes and gained a lot of inspiration.

[Song Chengkun, a professor of mathematics at Xia Guowan Provincial University, is invited to come to the stage to give an academic report. 】

Voices were heard on the radio.

Song Chengkun stood up and took a deep breath.

Ye Fei cheered him up and said, "Come on!" ”

"Hmm!" Song Chengkun nodded fiercely, and then walked to the stage.

Song Chengkun stood on the stage and said: "When n is bigger, F is closer to ......"

Ye Fei nodded secretly, judging from Song Chengkun's academic report, his ability is still very strong.

Also, being able to give a one-hour academic report at the International Conference of Young Mathematicians is very capable.

The ability is not strong, and the International Mathematical Union will not let him give an hour-long academic report.

An hour later, with warm applause, Song Chengkun walked down from the stage.

After sitting in his place, Song Chengkun took a long breath and said, "It's finally over." ”

"I don't like to give a speech on stage the most, every time I have to spend a lot of time preparing a speech in advance, and then I have to give a nervous speech on stage, and I have to worry about whether I will not be able to speak well."

"Hey......" he sighed, "It's uncomfortable, every time I make an academic report, it's like fighting a battle." ”

After speaking, he looked at Ye Fei and asked, "Aren't you nervous?" ”

"What am I nervous about?" Ye Fei said blankly: "What's so nervous about this." ”

Song Chengkun looked at Ye Fei suspiciously: "Don't forget your two competitors, but Amata and Balats, are you really not nervous at all?" ”

"Does nervousness work?"

"Yes!" Song Chengkun agreed: "Anyway, if you want to lose, you must not be nervous." ”

Around three o'clock in the afternoon, Amata began to take the stage.

As the son of a Fields Medal winner, he was noticed by many.

And, as many people know, the subject matter of his academic report is exactly the same as that of Balatz.

Today, these two are going to have a fight.

One is the son of a Fields Medal winner, and the other is a student of a Fields Medal winner.

Everyone was looking forward to the battle between them.

As for the third party, Ye Fei.

Who is Ye Fei?

No one is paying attention.
