Chapter 291: Drop another bomb on the math community
It is undoubtedly a very difficult thing to get mathematicians from all over the world to release the pigeons of the International Mathematical Union, not to participate in the quadrennial mathematicians conference, but to come to the Beijing Institute for Advanced Study of Mathematics for mathematical exchanges, and it must be attractive enough to those mathematicians.
It is normal for Qin Xiangxin to be suspicious of this.
However, just let domestic mathematicians participate, Xu Yun always felt that there was something missing that could not have enough impact on the International Mathematical Union.
The secretary general of the International Mathematical Union openly forbade him to participate in the conference, and he always felt that his thoughts were incomprehensible if he did not get the venue back.
What's more, since he dared to make this suggestion, he must have already thought about how to do it.
"Don't worry, Dean Qin, I think those mathematicians will be happy to come and participate in our math exchange activities at that time."
Xu Yun explained to Qin Xiangxin with a smile on his face.
Appear confident when speaking.
It's just that this sentence made Qin Xiangxin even more confused, and he really couldn't think of a reason for others to participate.
If it is held in other time periods, with Xu Yun's famous charm, some mathematicians may be invited to come and cheer.
But at the same time as the International Congress of Mathematicians, no matter how you look at it, there is no such possibility.
Worried that it would be even more embarrassing if he didn't invite people at that time, Qin Xiangxin hesitated a little and still expressed his worries.
"It's okay to hold an exchange meeting in the name of our Institute of Mathematics, but does the specific time have to be adjusted?"
"I'm afraid that everyone will be too weak to participate when the time comes."
Xu Yun took Qin Xiangxin's words and said with a smile: "If you don't have time, then you don't need to participate in the International Congress of Mathematicians." ”
As soon as these words came out, Qin Xiangxin was a little stunned.
As for Qin Xiangxin's expression, Xu Yun naturally saw it in his eyes, but he didn't explain it immediately, but threw out a question first.
"Dean Qin."
"What do you think are the mathematicians in the world most interested in?"
Suddenly asked such a question, Qin Xiangxin couldn't help but be a little stunned for a while.
I don't know what this has to do with holding an exchange meeting.
But he was surprised in his heart, and after coming back to his senses, he still truthfully stated his opinion.
"For mathematicians who are purely academic, the most attractive thing is definitely the mathematical problems."
"That's a good point."
Xu Yun nodded in recognition of this answer, and then stopped telling his true intentions.
"So if I announce that I will announce the proof process of the Riemann hypothesis at this exchange meeting, do you think anyone will be willing to participate?"
"What did you say?"
"The process of proving the Riemann hypothesis?"
Hearing Xu Yun's words in his ears, Qin Xiangxin almost thought that he had heard it wrong.
never expected Xu Yun to suddenly give him such a big surprise.
As the dean of the Institute for Advanced Study of Mathematics at Kyonju University, he is naturally very clear about the Riemann hypothesis.
The problem of the century, which can be hailed as Mount Everest by the mathematical community, has been studied by many well-known mathematicians, and it is higher than several other mathematical problems in the world in terms of value and popularity.
Since the hypothesis was proposed, I don't know how many mathematicians have tried to prove it.
But as a result, there was no progress at all.
When Xu Yun solved the Hodge conjecture and Goldbach's conjecture in succession, he felt that Xu Yun was the most likely person to solve the Riemann hypothesis.
At that time, it is bound to take mathematics to a new level.
As a result, Xu Yun later gave up the study of theoretical mathematics and went to the field of chemical materials.
He had thought that it would be impossible for him to see this day, and the Riemann hypothesis could not be proven.
After all, if you start to take charge of various projects, even if you don't give up mathematics, you will have very little time to devote to research, and it is impossible to think about proving a problem of the century again.
But it just happened.
No wonder Xu Yun was so sure that those mathematicians would come to participate, and in the face of the temptation of Riemann's hypothesis, who could ask and who could refuse.
Thinking that the International Mathematicians Conference would be upset and mathematicians from all over the world would come to Jingzhou for academic exchanges, he would make up a large number of pictures in his uncontrollable mind.
I believe that when the time comes, the faces of those people in the International Mathematical Union will be very exciting.
The thought stayed here, Qin Xiangxin barely controlled the excitement in his heart, and confirmed to Xu Yun again.
"Did you really prove the Riemann hypothesis?"
The main thing is that he knows very well that Xu Yun was designing a door frame robot before, developing a new type of photoresist and being in charge of the lithography machine project, no matter how he looks at it, it doesn't look like he has time to prove Riemann's hypothesis, you must know that the investment required to prove a century problem is much larger than the research key project.
But Xu Yun's answer suddenly made his face stunned.
"Not yet."
"No?" Qin Xiangxin immediately became anxious.
I was just about to ask what was going on, but I heard Xu Yun reply: "But there are still a few months before the mathematicians' conference in July, which is enough for me to complete the whole proof process of Riemann's hypothesis." ”
And this answer also made Qin Xiangxin completely dumbfounded, and he really didn't know what to say.
I thought that Xu Yun had proved Riemann's hypothesis, but he didn't expect to prove it temporarily.
There are only a few months left before the mathematicians' conference, and who can guarantee that it can be 100% proven.
If it were that simple, the Riemann hypothesis would not have existed for so long and remained unsolved by the mathematical community.
The Everest Century Problem is no joke.
But for now, there really is no better way.
The atmosphere in the office was slightly depressed for a moment, and Qin Xiangxin seemed to have made some decision.
Raising his gaze, he stared at Xu Yun and said solemnly: "How sure are you?" ”
"I'm confident." Xu Yun was naturally not modest at this time, and replied with a calm face.
It just so happened that he was randomly rewarded with the Riemann hypothesis proof process, and he originally wanted to write a paper for publication after research.
Since this kind of thing has happened, it is much more influential to invite mathematicians from all over the world to come over and prove offline, and accept everyone's doubts and refutations.
Xu Yun thought of something in the next second, so he reminded: "In addition, I plan to disclose this matter to the public, so that everyone knows that at the exchange event of the Institute for Advanced Study of Mathematics of Beijing University in July, I will announce that the Riemann hypothesis has been proved." ”
Qin Xiangxin naturally knew very well what it meant when he heard this, and although he chose to believe Xu Yun, he couldn't help but say a lot of words.
"Have you figured it out?"
"If the Riemann hypothesis is not proved by then......
Although Qin Xiangxin did not finish the last sentence, the meaning he wanted to express was already very clear.
When Xu Yun heard this, he was also worried that Qin Xiangxin would not sleep well in the future, so after thinking about it, he still gave him a booster shot.
"Don't worry, Dean."
"Actually, I already have the idea of proof, and I have a few months left to complete the proof process."
In addition, he didn't say that the strength of the Institute for Advanced Study of Mathematics at Beijing University should not be underestimated, and it can provide him with some help in some step demonstrations.
Coupled with his two graduate students as assistants, the speed will only be faster than when he proved it on his own before.
At this point, Qin Xiangxin immediately nodded and replied: "Since you have made a decision, the academy will definitely support you to the greatest extent, I will go to the imperial capital today to discuss with Lao Yuan carefully, give things as soon as possible and start to prepare." ”
"Then trouble the dean." Xu Yun nodded in response.
He must have a lot of trust in Qin Xiangxin, and with the help of the Mathematics Society, there will be basically no problems.
What he had to do next was to immediately begin to study the process of proving Riemann's hypothesis.
After making the next plan, Qin Xiangxin didn't stay too long in Xu Yun's office, and then hurriedly turned around and left.
Obviously, he planned to go to the imperial capital to discuss with Yuan Chengming.
As for Xu Yun, he didn't forget what he was going to do today, and after seeing Qin Xiangxin leave, he also locked his office and went to the library.
He wants to study quantum mechanics as soon as possible so that he can move on to the next step.
……
……
Qin Xiangxin is well aware of what this event means for the Institute for Advanced Study of Mathematics at Beijing University and the domestic mathematics community.
Just imagine, if mathematicians from all over the world really come to Beijing to participate in academic exchange activities, then the authority of the Institute for Advanced Study of Mathematics of Beijing University will surpass that of the International Mathematical Union, and this kind of achievement cannot be compared with the Clay Institute of Mathematics.
In addition, if Riemann's hypothesis is proved by Xu Yun, it is bound to cause a huge global sensation.
It was precisely because of these circumstances that Qin Xiangxin dared to have any delay.
After leaving Xu Yun's office, he didn't care about going home, so he took the nearest flight directly to the imperial capital.
And after arriving in the imperial capital in the evening, he contacted Yuan Chengming as soon as possible.
"Lao Qin, you still can't believe me, since I said on the phone that I would definitely vent my anger to Xu Yun to him, then I will definitely not participate in this year's International Congress of Mathematicians."
At the same time, in the restaurant near the headquarters of the Mathematics Society, in the private room, Yuan Chengming rushed over to see Qin Xiangxin and said a little unhappily.
He thought that Qin Xiangxin didn't believe what he said, so he deliberately ran over from Jingzhou City.
Qin Xiangxin naturally did not forget his business, and after beckoning Yuan Chengming to sit down opposite, he indicated his purpose.
"Of course I believe your words, but I came here today because I have other things to discuss with you."
"What's the matter?" Yuan Chengming asked with a serious face.
Obviously, he also saw that Qin Xiangxin should have something important to come over.
"Xu Yun plans to hold academic exchanges in our high school on the same day as the International Congress of Mathematicians, and invite world-renowned mathematicians to participate?"
Yuan Chengming did not show surprise when he heard this, but fell into deep thought and considered.
What happened during the day made him immediately understand Xu Yun's plan.
I thought that Xu Yun had indeed met many well-known overseas mathematicians before, but how many people were willing to come to Jingzhou City to support Xu Yun without giving face to the International Mathematical Union.
If it becomes a petty fight at that time, I am afraid that it will only make myself and the Institute for Advanced Study of Mathematics of Beijing University lose face.
But just as he was thinking about this, Qin Xiangxin's next sentence almost didn't startle his jaw.
"In addition, Xu Yun will announce at the academic exchange meeting that the Riemann hypothesis of the century problem has been proved."
"What did you say?" Yuan Chengming was a little out of shape.
It's not to blame that he can't control his emotions, mainly as a mathematician, I believe that anyone who hears the news will not be able to sit still.
Seeing the change in Yuan Chengming's expression, Qin Xiangxin couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
"Like you, I was shocked when I first heard the news, but Xu Yun seems to be very confident in this, and he is sure that he will completely prove the Riemann hypothesis in the remaining few months."
"What we need to do is to fully cooperate with him and let the International Mathematical Union and mathematicians around the world know where the most authoritative math hall is."
After coming back to his senses at this time, Yuan Chengming's expression was also a little complicated, he didn't expect him to hear so much explosive news in just one day.
But for some reason he wasn't very worried.
If any mathematician in the world said that he could prove the Riemann hypothesis in a few months, he would think that the other party might have lost his mind.
It's just that this question doesn't apply to Xu Yun.
It seems that as long as Xu Yun says it, it is impossible to be targeted.
After all, Xu Yun is a miracle in his own right.
You must know that no one in the world can prove two world mathematical problems in a row.
I remember that when Xu Yun announced that he had proved Hodge's conjecture, everyone else didn't believe it.
With this continuous miracle in the mathematical world, who dares to guarantee that Xu Yun will not be able to prove the Riemann hypothesis.
As a large number of thoughts surfaced in his mind, Yuan Chengming soon made up his mind in his heart, raised his gaze and looked at Qin Xiangxin and said, "The Mathematics Society will fully cooperate with this matter, I believe that Xu Yun can succeed." ”
"Me too." Qin Xiangxinyan finally had a smile on his face.
In this way, the two ordered a few dishes at the next time, and discussed the next things roughly while eating.
——
Under the arrangement of the two men, the next day the Mathematical Society came forward to publicly protest against the International Mathematical Union.
Accusing Professor Smith, secretary general of the alliance, of blatantly excluding Xu Yun, a famous mathematician of the Mathematical Society.
He was banned from participating in the International Congress of Mathematicians.
Coupled with the reposted report by the official media, the matter quickly attracted the attention of netizens.
For everyone, Xu Yun is the pride of the mathematics community, successfully solving two world mathematical problems, making a breakthrough in the development of mathematics and entering a new field.
If none of these mathematicians are able to attend the International Congress of Mathematicians, then everyone else is even less eligible.
Of course, many people have also guessed the specific reason, thinking that this is a retaliation for the domestic extreme ultraviolet lithography machine incident.
So netizens were indignant, and they left messages for Xu Yunming, and at the same time went over the wall to the website of the International Mathematical Union to question it, asking him to give an explanation.
"Why forbid Professor Xu to participate, even if it is to retaliate against the last extreme ultraviolet lithography machine, it is too shameful."
"This little foreign old man is very bad!"
"People who have solved two of the world's mathematical problems can't participate, so don't hold this conference, where is there any gold content."
"It's not uncommon to go if you don't let you go."
"I've never seen anyone so brazen!"
"I didn't expect such disgusting things to happen even in the field of mathematics, it's really disappointing."
With the rapid spread of related popularity, even many overseas users expressed their support for Xu Yun after learning about it.
You must know that Xu Yun has a lot of fans overseas with his personality charm.
In addition, the other party likes the pioneer Lingyue car more and more, and is eager to buy it, in this case, it must be all for Xu Yun to stand in line.
And just when things were getting more and more intense, the domestic mathematics community and the Institute for Advanced Study of Mathematics of Beijing University released new news.
It was announced that the Institute for Advanced Study of Mathematics of Beijing University and the Student Union will jointly hold an academic exchange in Jingzhou in early July.
And take the opportunity to invite mathematicians from all over the world to participate.
Netizens are not stupid, and when they saw the news, they immediately understood that the Institute for Advanced Study of Mathematics of Beijing University was here to grab people from the International Congress of Mathematicians.
For netizens, what they like the most is to join in the fun, not to mention that this is still to give the domestic mathematics community an explanation.
The spontaneous promotion and forwarding without guidance at all makes related topics easily top the hot search lists of major websites, and even has a lot of popularity on overseas platforms.
Originally, netizens were still a little worried, thinking that it would be difficult for Beijing University to compete with the International Mathematicians Conference.
As a result, the Institute for Advanced Study of Mathematics of Beijing University did not say a word, and released a piece of news that was enough to be called a king bomb.
Xu Yun will announce the proof of the Riemann hypothesis at the academic exchange meeting and announce the complete proof process.
When this news appeared on the Internet, it was not that netizens were stunned and excited, but that the entire mathematical community was shaken.
Almost within a short period of time, most mathematicians got the news.
Some are even in a state of bewilderment.
I can't react at all.
After all, there are not a few mathematicians or institutions in the mathematical community who still study the Riemann hypothesis, and now they are suddenly told that this problem has been solved by someone else.
It's like investing a lot of time, energy, and time into a topic, only to find that someone else's paper has been published.
Undoubtedly, all efforts were in vain.
If others claim to have proved the Riemann hypothesis, then it is estimated that many mathematicians have already come out to refute this kind of information.
It would never be thought that the Riemann hypothesis could be proved so quickly.
But this person is Xu Yun, who has the experience of the previous two times, and no one dares to speak publicly.
If Xu Yun really proved the Riemann hypothesis, it would be a shame.
However, because of this, many mathematicians are also excited, and if the Riemann hypothesis is proven, it will undoubtedly be a very great blessing for the entire mathematical community.
For this reason, in this case, some well-known mathematicians who have a good personal relationship with Xu Yun have chosen to send emails to Xu Yun to find out the news.
What is certain is that their attention has long been firmly attracted and it is impossible to go to the mathematicians' congress anyway.
It would be a lifelong regret to miss the moment in mathematics when the Riemann hypothesis was proven.
Moreover, even if the Riemann hypothesis is not proved in the end, it will certainly be more interesting to have such a big gimmick than to attend an international congress of mathematicians.
Compared with the doubts in the mathematics community and waiting for verification, domestic netizens naturally believe in Xu Yun very much.
Thinking that the mathematical community would soon have the feat of proving three world mathematical problems in a row, everyone was also deeply proud of Xu Yun, as if the blood in their chests was boiling.
Countless people temporarily stopped what they were doing and poured into the website platform to share this joy with each other.
"I knew that Beijing University must have a backhand, but I didn't expect Professor Xu to solve the Riemann hypothesis."
"The door frame of the Riemann hypothesis is much higher than Goldbach's conjecture, and looking at the entire mathematical community now, I am afraid that only our Professor Xu has this ability to prove it."
"Now the International Mathematical Union is afraid to be dumbfounded, and daring to pay Professor Xu's attention is definitely the stupidest decision they have made."
"That's the Riemann hypothesis, Professor Xu is too strong, sometimes I really want to take Professor Xu to the hospital to have a slice of the brain."
"I remember some people saying that Professor Xu went to other fields because his potential in the field of mathematics was exhausted and it was difficult to make new achievements.
"I can already think of the scene in July, and this International Congress of Mathematicians is going to be cold."
"I heard that proving the Riemann hypothesis involves quantum mechanics, could it be that Professor Xu also has a deep research in the quantum field?"
……
And when the news of Riemann's hypothesis spread rapidly in the academic community, at the same time, Professor Smith, who was the secretary general of the office at the headquarters of the International Mathematical Union, was not in a good mood.
Although Xu Yun was forbidden to participate in the International Congress of Mathematicians, it was the order issued from above that had nothing to do with him.
He's just an executor.
However, Xu Yun, as a proof of two world mathematical problems, is known as the most talented mathematician in the history of mathematics, and he also has many friends in the academic world who have a good personal relationship.
Knowing that Xu Yun could not participate in this conference, he must have been strongly dissatisfied with this.
Naturally, I had to ask Smith for an explanation.
"Mr. Smith, Xu, as a proover of the Hodge conjecture and Goldbach's conjecture, is also a member of the Alliance, why is he not allowed to participate in this year's Mathematicians Conference?"
"I think I need an explanation for this."
Griffith, a professor at the Clay Institute of Mathematics in his office, sat in a chair at his desk and expressed his displeasure to Smith in front of him.
When the last mathematician conference was held, he invited Xu Yun to participate.
On behalf of the Clay Institute of Mathematics, he awarded a prize to Xu Yun.
He can be said to be very fond of this genius who is younger than his own students, but has shown unparalleled mathematical talent, otherwise he would not have invited him to join the Clay Institute of Mathematics before.
Last year, when he learned that Xu Yun was on the security building's key focus list and could no longer come to the Clay Institute of Mathematics to communicate with him, he was very angry.
There was even a protest.
Unfortunately, nothing changed in the end.
I thought that I would be able to exchange mathematical research with Xu Yun at this International Congress of Mathematicians.
Who would have thought that this would happen again.
He couldn't stand it anymore, so he came to the Alliance headquarters from the Clay Institute of Mathematics to inquire about the situation.
Smith also had a headache in the face of Griffith's questioning, but because of the identity of the other party, he had to explain patiently.
"Professor Griffith, this matter is not for me to decide, so you better not embarrass me here."
"What's more, Xu has long since quit the mathematics world, and whether he can participate in this conference has no impact on him."
Griffith's answer was obviously not satisfactory to him, but just as he was about to continue his question, he was interrupted by a knock on the door outside his office.
