Chapter 697: Riemann Conjecture, Has an Answer?

(Add more 6/10 for the alliance leader Star Flame Boss, 4 more, it's faster, it's faster (Ο‰))

At noon, Xu Chuan, who was resting on the bed, naturally opened his eyes.

Even though he had been staying up for several nights in a row, he couldn't sleep at all.

The mental excitement naturally leads to the physical response.

It's the same as a normal person going on a business trip at 8 o'clock in the morning, even if you don't sleep until the early hours of the morning the night before, you will naturally wake up before 6 o'clock in the morning.

After taking a cold shower in the bathroom and getting rid of the gas, Xu Chuan wiped his hair with a towel in one hand, opened the refrigerator with the other, and took out a bag of yogurt from the refrigerator.

After biting a small opening, he walked towards the study.

Picking up the manuscript that had just been sorted out in the morning, Xu Chuan sat on the engineering chair and read it carefully.

After carefully browsing again to confirm that there was no problem, he pulled up the chair, turned on the computer and the scanning device next to him, and scanned the manuscript paper in his hand into the document.

Unlike ordinary scanners, this is a custom-built scanning device that can recognize all kinds of academic documents, mathematical symbols, ancient Greek symbols, and so on.

However, no matter how easy the scanning software and hardware are, there will always be errors in what is written by hand.

Therefore, after scanning the document, Xu Chuan had to carefully check it twice more to prevent the misidentification of mathematical letters and symbols during the scanning process.

"It would be nice to have an AI assistant."

While sorting out the papers in his hand, an idea suddenly popped up in Xu Chuan's mind: "Maybe I can let the senior sister try it over there and see if I can write a special intelligent assistant." ”

This kind of work of organizing daily documents, if there is an AI assistant, can help save a lot of time and energy.

Although this kind of work of recording papers on the computer can be done by his own students, it is still relatively rare for him to let students do this kind of work for him, who is used to doing it himself.

As for AI assistants, it doesn't matter.

After spending two or three hours completely entering the paper in his hand into the computer and saving it, Xu Chuan carefully checked it again.

After confirming that there were no major problems with the format, he opened his mailbox, found the editorial office of the Annals of Mathematics, and sent the paper.

Although the weak Riemann conjecture has not yet been fully solved, the paper that has been produced so far, no matter which journal it is placed in, is undoubtedly top-notch.

Its value is no weaker than that of a world-class conjecture.

After all, in this tool, he solves a lot of problems that have been building up for years.

After submitting the paper to the Annals of Mathematics, he remembered something, clicked on the address book, found the mailboxes of his tutors Deligne and Tao Zhexuan, and forwarded the email.

After confirming that there was no one who needed to be recaptured, he habitually clicked on the arxiv preprint website and uploaded the manuscript to the math module.

Arxiv pre-printed this website has both advantages and disadvantages for the academic community.

Its biggest advantage is to promote academic exchanges, improve the quality of papers, and publish the review opinions, review process, revision process, etc., which increases academic transparency and allows scientific researchers to learn from each other.

Judging from today's development trend, in fact, this point is constantly confirmed.

At least the preprints have been widely recognized in the foreign academic circles, and although the quality of the internationally renowned preprint articles such as arXiv, which he often submits, is uneven, most of the articles are published in high-quality OA journals, and even many of them are indexed by SCI.

This provides a new avenue for the development of academia and reduces the financial burden on those who are relatively 'poor'.

After all, buying periodicals is actually a big burden for many regions or countries.

According to the influence and popularity of the journal, the price of the journal is also different, from dozens to hundreds, and thousands of yuan per issue.

If you really want to calculate it, the annual subscription cost of a university is at least a few million, or even more.

Not to mention the rest, the notorious 'certain network' in China has become a serious burden on major universities and related scientific research units.

Many colleges and universities have announced that they have stopped purchasing CNKI in recent years, and the price that rises every year is too disgusting.

But relatively speaking, the existence of journals is a must.

Whether it is in terms of academic authority, academic influence, or research orientation and academic recognition, this preprint website like ARXIV cannot be compared with regular journals.

Relatively speaking, professional academic journals are like beacons of academia, not only illuminating the direction of the forerunners, but also responsible for guiding all the ships (i.e., professional review and verification of papers).

These are all things that cannot be compared with this pre-printed website like Arxiv.

Xu Chuan didn't know what impact he would have on the future academic world by throwing various professional papers on arxiv for such a long time, but at least for now, he felt that the knowledge in the field of basic disciplines should be more oriented to all mankind.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Princeton University.

Pierre Deligne, who had not taught an undergraduate student for several years, was heading to the lecture hall of the mathematics department with a textbook in hand.

Walking beside him, Fepferman, the head of Princeton University's mathematics department, asked with a smile.

"Speaking of which, haven't you paid much attention to this kind of open class and undergraduate students for a long time? Why have you been interested again lately? ”

Deligne glanced at him and said lightly: "Isn't it something that every scholar will do to spread the knowledge in his mind?" ”

Hearing this, Feverman smiled and teased, "Are you going to work until you get old?" ”

For Pierre de Ligne, it will be a long process if he wants to pass on all the knowledge in his head to the younger generation.

After all, in the mathematical community, his prestige and academics, not to mention the top three, will definitely be ranked in the top five.

The only player in the mathematics world to win a grand slam, a student of Pope Grothendieck Sr., and he is approaching eighty years old this year, no one knows how much civilized wisdom he has gathered in his mind.

After laughing and teasing the old friend, Feverman then asked, "I heard that your student seems to have been studying the Riemann hypothesis for a while, and this has been almost a while, is there any new progress?" ”

Deligne shook his head and said, "I haven't received any information from him for the time being. ”

Feverman shrugged his shoulders with a hint of disappointment on his face and said, "Well, if there's a situation, please remember to talk to me." ”

After a pause, he continued: "By the way, I remember that you and Witten seemed to be working together on the problem of strong electricity unification before?" Speaking of which, how did you suddenly turn to physics? ”

Mentioning this topic, a glimmer of brilliance flashed in Deligne's calm eyes, and he smiled rarely, and said: "The unified theory of strong electricity is also based on mathematics, and I still study mathematics. ”

Fefferman casually asked, "Okay, is that any progress?" ”

Deligne: "You'll have to ask Witten about the specific progress."

Before he could finish his sentence, the phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated twice.

Frowning slightly, Deligne took out his mobile phone from his pocket, his mobile phone was specially set up, and it would basically remain silent for non-special messages or situations.

There is such a hint of vibration, which is basically related to those friends who he has maintained special attention.

With a slight swipe of his finger on the screen, the source of the vibrating message came into his eyes, and the brown-green eyes suddenly condensed.

An email from his student!

Could it be that Riemann guessed that he had been.

The thought in his mind flashed, and Deligne quickly clicked the email message on the screen with one hand and entered the email app.

On the side, Peverman, who was still waiting for an answer, saw him suddenly stop, looked at him curiously, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Deligne did not answer, and after a long silence, he suddenly made a call to his assistant on his mobile phone.

"Alice, I have an open class in algebraic geometry here, please come and help me take it."

"Yes, I have some temporary things to attend to. Just come over now, in Lecture Hall 3, classes will start soon. ”

If it wasn't for the upcoming start of the class, he was more likely to choose to cancel the class or transfer time rather than find his assistant to teach in his place, as he is doing now.

Although it was not uncommon for his assistant or student to give lectures for him at the university, as he used to do, at least now he preferred to do it himself.

After a few brief commands, Deligne slipped his phone into his pocket, turned around and prepared to leave.

Suddenly, he remembered that there was another Feffman beside him, stopped, looked at him and said quickly: "Regarding the question you asked before, about the Riemann conjecture, there may already be an answer." ”

Before he could finish speaking, the others had already taken several steps, leaving a bewildered Fefferman to stay where he was.

He stared at Deligne's back in a daze, and was a little unresponsive for a while.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck his heart, and he couldn't help but swallow the air.

"Riemann guess, got an answer?"

β€œarxiv!”

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and he walked quickly towards his office.

arxiv! If it's related to that person, there should be a paper on arxiv by now!
