Chapter 199: Proof of Goldbach's Conjecture
"Isn't the content of Xu Yun's report today topological group theory, how did it become a proof of Goldbach's conjecture, and why have I never heard him solve this famous number theory problem?"
Yuan Chengming in the audience was full of questions, he never expected that things would develop like this.
While opening his mouth to ask Tang Yanshan next to him, his eyebrows couldn't help revealing a little worry.
Originally, as long as Xu Yun announced in the report that the topological group theory was proven, all the previous doubts would disappear.
As a result, he rashly chose to prove Goldbach's conjecture, which is really a little bigger.
There is a high probability that the vehicle will overturn.
The proof of Goldbach's conjecture has reached the most critical step, and if it cannot achieve a breakthrough, it will definitely be seized by the neon side to continue to spread rumors and affect Xu Yun's authority in the world.
This is something that you don't want to see anyway.
In fact, it's not just Yuan Chengming, Tang Yanshan is also blind at this moment.
Even when Xu Yun came to power, he thought that Xu Yun was going to talk about his topological group theory.
It wasn't until I heard what Xu Yun said that I was full of surprise.
"I don't know."
"He never talked about proving the Goldbach conjecture at the conference."
Tang Yanshan replied to Yuan Chengming with a frown, but no matter how fast his brain was running at this time, he really couldn't think of any solution.
However, Tang Gu Cong was quite calm compared to the two, and did not forget to appease the emotions of the two.
"Don't worry."
"Maybe it's not too bad."
"You have to believe Xu Yun."
"You forgot that Xu Yun's topological group theory could have been used to prove the number theory problem, maybe he really solved the Goldbach conjecture problem."
Hearing Tang Gucong's words, Yuan Chengming and Tang Yanshan couldn't help but take a sharp breath.
If Xu Yunzhen solves Goldbach's conjecture, what does this mean?
He was the first person to solve two world-class mathematical problems, and his name is enough to go down in the glorious history of mathematics.
And I believe that no one can surpass this achievement.
Even the status of the domestic mathematics community will rise.
"Could it be that Xu Yun can really prove Goldbach's conjecture?" Tang Yanshan asked in disbelief with the relevant pictures in his head.
"Lao Tang is right, we have to believe Xu Yun." Yuan Chengming looked at Xu Yun on the stage with his eyes like torches, and replied in a deep voice: "What's more, now I can only wait for Xu Yun's report to end." ”
Hearing this, Tang Yanshan had to go back to his head and not say anything more.
Xu Yun has already come to power, and it is impossible for them to let him down, so no matter what the final result is, they can only wait.
However, the talk of other mathematicians around him inevitably reached his ears.
To sum up, they are basically not optimistic about Xu Yun.
It is not believed that Goldbach's conjecture, which is a well-known problem in number theory, will be thoroughly proved today.
One of the most important points is the question of time.
After all, Xu Yun's age is there, no matter how strong his talent in mathematics is, it proves that Hodge's conjecture has taken up most of the time to enter the field of number theory and propose topological group theory.
How is it possible to study the Goldbach conjecture in this case?
Of course, there are exceptions, and Deligne and Witten, who sit on the other side, have a different view.
"He has successfully proven his theory of topological group theory, which is indeed a new direction for solving the famous conjecture in number theory." In the face of Xu Yun's unexpected approach, Witten was also a little undecided at the moment: "But in my opinion, this is at least a relatively long-term process, and it is really difficult to completely prove Goldbach's conjecture in such a short time." ”
"With what I know about him, he shouldn't be an adventurous person."
After listening to Witten's opinion on the matter, Deligne turned his head and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"If he hadn't been absolutely sure, he wouldn't have chosen to openly prove Goldbach's conjecture on such an occasion."
"In that case, I can really feel his confidence when I talked to him just now." Memories brought back to his mind by Deligne's words, Witten also suddenly felt very reasonable.
At least if this matter was put on him, he would definitely not choose this way until he was absolutely sure.
But until the final result is present, what they say is just personal speculation.
All that can be done now is to be patient.
After saying his opinion, Deligne and Witten stopped talking.
Instead, he focused on the writing board on the stage and listened carefully to the presentation, which could cause a huge shock in the mathematical community.
After all, if they can prove Goldbach's conjecture, it is well worth learning for them.
Distractions at this time are a huge waste.
Compared with many mathematicians in the venue, who still maintained a gentlemanly demeanor, those who chose to participate online were much more direct, and they all questioned it by publishing their own remarks on the platform.
"It's crazy to prove Goldbach's conjecture at the International Congress of Mathematicians."
"Geniuses are really crazy."
"The problem of number theory has plagued the academic community for so many years, how can it be easily proven."
"Didn't you say that you want to talk about topological group theory, why did it suddenly become a proof of Goldbach's conjecture?"
"I don't think he can prove it."
……
"It's stupid to try to prove Goldbach's conjecture and prove your level in this way."
At the same time, in the Department of Mathematics of Tojing University, Ohno Yu watched the online live broadcast of the conference and muttered to himself at the same time, he finally completely relieved himself.
He was really a little worried about it before, afraid that Xu Yun would successfully prove the topological group theory.
But now it's fine.
The choice proves that Goldbach's conjecture is destined to be mortal.
Even if the complete proof process can be written, it will definitely be full of loopholes and will not be recognized by the mathematical community.
He didn't even need to speak out, and the number theorists in the room would raise all kinds of questions.
It is also worth mentioning that because it is not real-time, the relevant news has lagged behind when it reaches China.
But netizens and mathematicians think differently, Xu Yun's previous solution to the Hodge conjecture problem has proved that even the world's mathematical problems can be solved, so when he learned that Xu Yun was going to challenge the number theory problem again, the first reaction was excitement and excitement and the pride brought by the same origin in his bones.
The refresh rate of topic comments on various websites has increased several times, and even comments that are worried about questioning are quickly brushed down.
"It's too strong to solve the famous problem of number theory."
"Xu Shen is awesome."
"If this is really a successful proof, it will be the first person in the field of mathematics."
"Can it really be solved?"
"This is not bragging on the Internet, who will do something that you are not sure about, anyway, I believe Xu Shen."
"I think it's still too risky, the room is full of the most authoritative experts in the field of mathematics, and if the loopholes in the process are found, the result will probably be too good."
"Are you going to have the privilege of witnessing history tonight?"
……
Xu Yun didn't know that because of the content of his report, the academic community and the Internet had exploded.
Standing on the stage and seeing the expressions of many people, the face always shows confidence and confidence.
I remember that when he proposed to the Mathematics Consortium to make his report in this way, the relevant directors were also very surprised, but in the end, Xu Yun was considered as a Fields Medal winner, and this requirement was satisfied.
In addition, the content of Xu Yun's report was in his mind, and it was written on the spot, so that he didn't know the specific content before the start, and even the conference was ready to extend the time.
No way.
As the youngest winner of a Fields Medal, there are some privileges to enjoy.
By virtue of his contribution to the mathematical community.
Xu Yun no longer wasted time, picked up the marker pen prepared by the conference staff, faced the clipboard and began to quickly write down the proof process of his Goldbach conjecture.
Because the process is in his head, writing is not much different from copying.
Very fast in terms of speed.
As the right elbow moves the wrist, the math characters suddenly jump on the board.
Complex and meticulous mathematical formulas.
At this moment, Xu Yun seemed to dream back to his high school days, where the math teacher Su Yushan was writing questions on the podium, and the classmates were staring at the blackboard and thinking.
It's just that now he has become a teacher, and the students in the audience are all mathematicians from various countries.
"Px(1,1) is the number of prime Ps that fits the following conditions."
“x—p=P1”
……
"From (7), (8), (9) and (10), this lemma is proved."
“Px(1,1)≥Px(x……”
……
Watching Xu Yun's writing process, the originally disapproving expression gradually became solemn and expectant.
The bottom of my heart was filled with shock.
"Is this topological group theory?"
"What a brilliant idea and process, what a genius."
"My God......"
……
"Theorem 1 is obtained from equation 28, lemma 8 and lemma 9."
(1,1) and Px(1,1)≥...... (logx)2”
"Done."
With Xu Yun finishing the last mathematical character and successfully completing the proof of Goldbach's conjecture 1+1, both the authoritative mathematicians sitting in the audience and the scholars participating online could not hold back their excitement at this moment and looked for something that could be used to check the calculations around them, wanting to demonstrate Xu Yun's proof process.
For those who have understood Xu Yun's topological group theory, it is natural to be able to see the use of topological group theory from the proof process.
This shows that Xu Yun has thoroughly perfected the topological group theory and successfully solved the Goldbach conjecture with this method.
If the process of proof can really withstand the argument, then the value to the entire mathematical community will be immeasurable.
It can be said that all the problems in number theory have been solved.
Although Xu Yun has exceeded the reporting time, it is obvious that no one will pay attention to this point anymore, even the people who are going to report next are completely attracted by the proof process on stage.
didn't even care about his own image, and went directly to the stage to study it closely.
This made the whole venue look very chaotic.
I don't know how long it has been, but several of the scholars in the field of mathematics who are engaged in the study of number theory have looked at each other, and they can see the excitement and fanaticism in each other's expressions.
"I don't think there is a problem with the whole proof process, and the topological group theory is not only true but can also be used to prove the number theory problem."
"I agree."
"Although it still needs to be demonstrated in depth, in my judgment, I am afraid that the Goldbach conjecture has really completed the final 1+1 proof."
