Deligne and Witten are already authorities in the mathematical community, but now they are restricted from traveling, so they naturally will not accept it, since they have long promised Xu Yun that they will go to Jingzhou City to witness the birth of a new milestone in mathematics, they must try to find a way to leave Princeton as much as possible.

Because of Riemann's hypothesis, it can be said that very few people go to the International Congress of Mathematicians.

Among them, there are few well-known mathematicians.

If both of them express their participation, I believe there will be no resistance.

When the time comes, when you arrive at the venue of the International Congress of Mathematicians, you can transfer to Jingzhou City.

Get rid of the constraints of the security building.

As for the so-called consequences, they did not pay attention to it at all, after all, the practice of the security building did not comply with the regulations.

Witten had been in a bad mood all morning, and now his eyes lit up after listening to Deligne's advice.

He patted his thigh excitedly and echoed: "This method is good." ”

As soon as the words fell, he got up and arranged.

"Then I'll contact other people, hoping that Xu can really surprise the mathematical community at that time."

After saying that, he walked outside.

Princeton is not the only professor of mathematics, and the others naturally don't want to miss witnessing the proof of Riemann's hypothesis.

And while Drinnewitten's side was taking action to participate in the exchange activities of the Institute for Advanced Study of Mathematics at Kyungju University, the Clay Institute of Mathematics was also not very calm.

Griffith in the office had a complicated complexion and raised his gaze to look at his student Minter.

About half a minute, he slowly threw out a sentence.

"You've really decided?"

"Yes, teacher." Minte, who had the face of a handsome guy with a foreign standard, replied.

Griffith sighed.

"You should know the rules issued by the institute, prohibiting any member from participating in this mathematical exchange activity in Jingzhou."

Griffith was angry when he mentioned this, and when he learned that Xu Yun had proved Riemann's hypothesis and was going to publish the process on the spot, he thought about witnessing this fortunate event in the mathematical world.

When the time came, there was an accident, and the Clay Institute of Mathematics announced that no one was allowed to participate.

As a member of the Clay Institute of Mathematics, he was afraid of leaving the institute if he forcibly violated it.

Although he was very dissatisfied with the institute's approach, he had to regret that he chose to give up.

However, he believed in Xu Yun very much, and believed that the Riemann hypothesis was definitely truly proven.

Although this incident is unbelievable, it seems normal to Xu Yun.

At this time, Minter listened to Griffith's words, but his eyes still looked determined.

"Teacher."

"I decided to go anyway."

After expressing his determination again, he opened his mouth to explain in detail.

"You should know that I have been working on the Riemann hypothesis for the past few years, but there has been no progress."

"Now that Xu Yun says that he has proved the Riemann hypothesis, then I have to see it with my own eyes anyway, otherwise it will make me lose confidence in mathematics."

He has been studying number theory since joining the Clay Institute of Mathematics, and before that he focused on the Goldbach conjecture.

I thought that one day I would be able to prove it thoroughly, make my name forever recorded in the mathematical world, and become the greatest mathematician.

But who would have thought that Xu Yun, a mathematical genius, would prove Goldbach's conjecture after solving the Hodge conjecture, and he was forced to end the research goal ahead of schedule.

However, this fueled his competitive spirit even more, and he wanted to prove himself by solving a world mathematical problem.

In the end, he set his sights on the Riemann hypothesis and vowed to solve the Everest problem.

For this reason, he can be said to have not paid attention to anything other than mathematics in recent years.

Most of the time is spent in the institute.

However, he still underestimated the difficulty of Riemann's hypothesis, and even after a lot of effort and sweat, he could not find the idea to prove Riemann's hypothesis.

It's like this is a problem that the Tao has not solved at all.

But fate played a joke on him, when his belief in mathematics began to waver and hesitate to give up, he suddenly received the news that Xu Yun had proved Riemann's hypothesis and held an exchange meeting.

The first thought that popped into his heart when he learned about this was disbelief.

After all, he had been studying this conjecture for several years, and knew best how difficult it was.

I don't believe anyone else can prove it.

What's more, although he doesn't pay attention to other things, he still knows something about Xu Yun, who let the other party make too much movement.

It doesn't look like having time to study math.

But after a few seconds, he thought of Xu Yun's achievements in mathematics.

Prove that the Hodge conjecture solves the Goldbach problem.

For this he wavered.

Perhaps Xu Yun is really likely to prove the Riemann hypothesis.

However, he is envious and envious, and he still worships Xu Yun more from mathematics.

You must know that the other party is younger than him.

After this incident, he was much relieved and no longer pursued mathematical achievements too much.

It's just that he has to attend the exchange meeting of the Institute for Advanced Study of Mathematics at Beijing University.

Whether or not it turned out to be as it was rumored, he had to witness it himself.

For his own student, Griffith didn't know what was going on in his mind.

Speaking of which, he definitely won't stop anything, not to mention that he originally wanted to participate.

The thought stayed here, and he immediately replied: "Since you have made up your mind, then do it according to your own ideas, and witness the birth of this new milestone in the mathematical world for me, and I will find a way to help you deal with the affairs here." After speaking, there was a smile on his face.

Listening to all these words, Minte hurriedly replied: "Thank you, teacher, for your success." ”

Then, with Griffith's hand, Minter turned and left the office to pack his things.

Since he decided to go to this exchange meeting to witness the real proof of Riemann's hypothesis, he would definitely not just stay there for a day or two, and he also planned to ask Xu Yun for advice.

……

Seeing that the time for the official start of the International Congress of Mathematicians and the Beijing University Exchange Conference is getting closer and closer, the global Internet has become very lively, and netizens are basically discussing this matter.

During this period, the official of the International Mathematical Union has repeatedly issued articles stating that due to the limited research on quantum mechanics, the Riemann hypothesis cannot be truly proved.

even accused Xu Yun of deliberately attracting attention and deceiving mathematicians to affect the normal progress of the mathematician conference.

The International Mathematical Union's move is undoubtedly an attempt to reduce the attention paid to the Riemann hypothesis.

This ensures that those mathematicians attend the International Congress of Mathematicians.

After all, it's about the face and authority of the alliance.

However, it is good that the official of the International Mathematical Union did not say these words, and the result did not change the main surprise of mathematicians, but attracted a large number of reporters and news media to Jingzhou City.

They have given up covering the International Congress of Mathematicians.

In fact, this situation is also very understandable, and the most needed thing for the media is undoubtedly news.

The International Congress of Mathematicians has been held in many circles, and the most interesting thing is the awarding of the Fields Medal, which is impossible to break the circle and let more people pay attention to it.

But Jingzhou City is different.

With such a big gimmick as the Riemann hypothesis, even people who don't know much about math will click in to see the situation.

If the Riemann hypothesis had been proven, the news would have caused a global sensation.

The heat can be imagined.

Even if it turns out to be a failure, there will be a lot of news to write about.

No matter how you look at it, it has a theme than the International Congress of Mathematicians.

Those overseas media are not stupid, and they must know what is in their best interest to do it.

However, the result of this is that in addition to the absence of mathematicians at the International Congress of Mathematicians, even the media reporters on the scene can be said to be pitiful.

If an uninformed outsider sees it, I'm afraid they will think it's a city's own activity.

Of course, there are still many mathematicians who stand on the side of the International Mathematical Union.

They all share the same view, and neither of them believes that Xu Yun can prove the Riemann hypothesis.

Especially the mathematicians on the neon side.

A few years ago, because Xu Yun proved Goldbach's conjecture, the neon mathematics community was punished by the alliance, which led to a significant decline in the status of the neon mathematics community.

Now I have finally found an opportunity to suppress Xu Yun openly and honestly, and to curry favor with the alliance.

Naturally, it is very hard to do.

Some even output their views directly on platforms such as Twitter.

Analyze why Xu Yun could not prove the Riemann hypothesis from various angles.

And dissuade others from being deceived.

Most people have no contact with mathematics with jambs at all, and the Riemann hypothesis is quite well-known, so many people also feel that Xu Yun cannot really prove the Riemann hypothesis.

So much so that in the end, there was friction between the supporters and the supporters, who commented and debated with each other.

Mainly for many more people, who don't want to see the Riemann hypothesis actually proven to solve this mathematical puzzle.

If others want to say that there is little hope, it is fine, but Xu Yun's words have great hope.

After all, Xu Yun was the first person to solve two world math problems alone.

"The Riemann hypothesis is a recognized problem of the Everest century in the academic community, and if it can really be proven, it will not be delayed until now, and I can't come up with any proof process when I see it."

"I guess it will be perjury, there will definitely be a big loophole, and it's hard to believe that it can be solved."

"Don't forget who proved the Hodge conjecture and the Goldbach conjecture, and you'll be jaw-dropping in a few days."

"I'd love to see the Riemann hypothesis proven."

"The Riemann hypothesis is very special, and the topological group theory created by Professor Xu is of no use at all."

"It mainly involves quantum mechanics, and I am afraid that there is a long way to go if we want to study human beings thoroughly."

"If it hadn't been proven, I don't think Professor Xu would have chosen to open the proof process to everyone's arguments."

"No matter what the final result is, everyone just waits, anyway, this year's International Congress of Mathematicians is completely gone."

……

Time passed day by day, and the day before the exchange meeting officially began, Xu Yun was still conducting the final proof process demonstration.

Make sure you don't have any problems.

"Xu Yun hasn't finished yet, the exchange meeting will start tomorrow."

July 4, 2022, Jingzhou City, Institute for Advanced Study of Mathematics of Beijing University.

Qin Xiangxin stood outside Xu Yun's studio, and for the first time in these days, a look of anxiety appeared on his face.

At present, mathematicians from all over the world have arrived in Jingzhou and are staying in the arranged hotel, waiting for tomorrow to start the exchange to see the proof process of the Riemann hypothesis.

In this case, Xu Yun still did not finish the argument, and it was difficult for his mood to calm down.

If there is a mistake in the argument or a problem with the process steps, tomorrow will certainly not be a happy conclusion.

When Xu Yun proposed to hold an exchange meeting in the name of the research institute and to prove Riemann's hypothesis within a few months, Qin Xiangxin thought that Xu Yun was joking.

No matter how you think about it, you can't do it.

It was only out of his understanding and trust in Xu Yun that he finally persuaded Yuan Chengming to do this.

And it turns out that Xu Yun did not disappoint, and what he said before was basically achieved smoothly.

For example, the completion of the proof process of the Riemann hypothesis, and the successful snatching of world-renowned mathematicians from the International Congress of Mathematicians.

Seeing that the final argument is missing, I definitely don't want a problem.

At the same time, Zhang Yitang, who was also standing next to him and waiting, looked much more relaxed than Qin Xiangxin.

"Don't worry, Dean, I think there should be no problem with Professor Xu's proof process."

As Zhang Yitang finished saying this, Qin Xiangxin turned his gaze and nodded in response.

"I hope so."

However, he didn't notice Zhang Yitang's eyes full of envy.

After Xu Yun completed all the proof process, he just had the opportunity to watch it in advance.

Although he did not have enough time to argue, he felt that he could not find fault with it very rigorously, as if this was the proof of Riemann's hypothesis.

In particular, the quantum mechanics involved in it made him discover new horizons.

Even the idea of studying quantum mechanics was born in my heart.

Thinking that he was more than half a hundred years old before he was lucky enough to prove the twin prime, compared with Xu Yun, he can be said to be really not talented in mathematics.

It is said that it is a late bloomer, but in fact, where is it comparable to a real genius.

After all, no matter what field you are in, age is the biggest advantage.

Therefore, he is very confident in Xu Yun, and believes that Xu Yun's proof process will definitely pass the argument.

In this way, with the passage of time, the two of them gradually became a little bored outside, Qin Xiangxin thought of something in his mind, and immediately took the initiative to speak.

"By the way, Professor Zhang, you should have helped teach Xu Yun's two graduate students during this time, right?"

"What do you think of them?"

When Zhang Yitang heard Qin Xiangxin mention Li Youzhi and Zhang Yang, a look of relief suddenly appeared on his face.

Immediately gave his own evaluation.

"The two graduate students recruited by Professor Xu are really good, they are very talented in mathematics, although they are not as good as Professor Xu, but they are already better than many people."

"Especially this time, Professor Xu also exposed them to the proof process, which is a rare opportunity for them to grow."

As Zhang Yitang's words fell, Qin Xiangxin's face quickly filled with a smile that was visible to the naked eye.

Obviously very happy with this result.

The Higher Institute finally has fresh blood, and after Xu Yun becomes an academician and takes over other projects, at least the Institute for Advanced Study of Mathematics will not be overwhelmed.

"That's good."

Just as he sighed again and again, he saw the door of the studio suddenly open from the inside.

It immediately attracted the attention of Qin Xiangxin and Zhang Yitang.

hurriedly cast his eyes to observe, and just saw Xu Yun walking out of it refreshed.

He was followed by Li Youzhi and Zhang Yang.

Judging from the uncontrollable smile on his expression, it is clear that this verification should be very smooth.

At this time, Qin Xiangxin didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly asked, "How is the situation?" ”

"All the arguments are true, and I think tomorrow we can officially announce to the mathematical community that the Riemann hypothesis has been proved."

Looking at Qin Xiangxin's eager expression, Xu Yun didn't sell anything and immediately replied.

In fact, he had long known that there could be no problem with the process of proving Riemann's hypothesis.

It is only in order to be able to respond accurately when others question it, so it is deliberately systematically verified.

The results did not disappoint, and there were no mistakes in the steps or formulas.

Although it takes two years to verify the proof process countless times if it is to be recognized by the academic community, it is nothing more than a formality.

"Okay."

"Great."

Finally got the desired result from Xu Yun's mouth, Qin Xiangxin said two words in a row, and the original worry in his heart disappeared immediately.

Faced with this atmosphere, Li Youzhi and Zhang Yang were also extremely excited.

They didn't help much in the verification of the proof process, but being able to witness all this by Xu Yun's side can also be regarded as an unsurpassed experience in their mathematical career.

Soon, Qin Xiangxin didn't delay any longer, and immediately instructed Xu Yun: "You go and have a good rest first, tomorrow is your home field." ”

For the sake of this Li Man, assuming that Xu Yun had indeed worked hard during this time, since they had already prepared and just waited for understanding, they would definitely not say anything, and said hello to Qin Xiangxin and Zhang Yitang and left temporarily.

——

Because of the influx of mathematicians and media from all over the world, the city of Beijing is very lively.

Coupled with the attention and cooperation of various departments in the city, the posters of this exchange meeting can be seen almost everywhere, whether it is a bus or a subway.

Obviously, it is an activity initiated by the Institute for Advanced Study of Mathematics of Kyung State University, but the ranking is no smaller than that of international competitions.

But as the saying goes, some people are happy and some are worried, and St. Petersburg, which is the venue of the International Congress of Mathematicians, seems to be a little deserted at the moment, except for the fact that it is difficult to see even a little famous mathematician, and even a few cameras can not be found in the venue.

It was the worst international congress of mathematicians ever.

This is the reason why the International Mathematical Union deliberately canceled online participation and changed it to offline.

Otherwise, the number of people on site will only be smaller.

"What a Princeton Institute for Advanced Study would dare to deceive the Mathematical Alliance like this."

"Fack!"

After learning that Delineviten and the others had transferred to Jingzhou in the lounge, Smith could no longer control the anger in his heart, and his whole face could be described as gloomy as he could.

When he heard that Drenerviten and others, who were an authority in the field of mathematics, were willing to attend the International Congress of Mathematicians, he was very happy that someone was finally able to stop the scene, but it didn't take long for him to happen.

As the secretary general of the alliance, he has encountered such grievances there.

Seeing that this mathematician conference no longer has any meaning, he is also thinking about what to do to get back the face lost by the alliance.
