Princeton University.

As one of the most well-known universities in the world, it was founded in 1746 and has a history of nearly 300 years, which is quite a long history for a school.

And such a long history naturally makes this school have a deep heritage that other ordinary schools can't match.

Especially when it comes to mathematics.

In a way, it has been the center of world mathematics since World War II in the last century.

The Annals of Mathematics, one of the four top journals of mathematics, was also founded by Princeton University, so the word "princeton" is included in the official domain name of the Annals of Mathematics.

Editorial office of Annals of Mathematics.

"Hey, friends, it's open, guess how many submissions we received today?"

The office door opened, and several Annals of Mathematics editors walked in with a cup of coffee, and editor Michael sat back in his seat and smiled.

"What the hell knows?" Another editor, Cowkins, shook his head with a smile, only to complain: "It's Thursday...... Houli crab, tomorrow Friday will be off, so there must be a lot of submissions today! I'm afraid there are at least a hundred of them. ”

Dylan sighed and said, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this kind of thing, but don't forget, we haven't finished reading the submissions of the previous week." ”

"That's right."

The editors shook their heads helplessly.

For them, it is customary to complain about too many submissions every day.

No way, who made them here the Annals of Mathematics?

Although there are few people who study mathematics, the base number is also there after all, and there will always be some people who have not measured their ability well to submit, coupled with the status of the "Annals of Mathematics" in the mathematical community......

"We are the gold diggers in the garbage dump~"

Humming a freshly composed tune, Mike turned on his computer, entered their submission mailbox, and looked at all kinds of submissions.

"Part 1...... Proof of Goldbach's conjecture. Mike read out the title of the first submission, and there was laughter in the office.

All of a sudden, there was a sense of joy.

As soon as they saw this kind of title, they knew that it was sent by the guys from Minke.

If it's really a professional point, the title will generally be "any even number greater than 2 can be written as the sum of two prime numbers".

Of course, even if it's really this kind of title, they definitely have to see if they recognize the author, if it's not some big bull, or the kind that has a relatively rich resume in the past, they won't believe it, because this kind of probability is also a civil science.

Don't ask, just ask if they have seen too much, how crazy the mathematicians are, they don't know, but what is certain is that these people are very confident.

Just last month, a civil mathematician who claimed to have proved Kakutani's conjecture broke into their editorial office and asked them why they hadn't replied for months, but after looking for a long time, it turned out that this article was a submission that they had thrown into the system trash bin without even reading it, and found that the manuscript had been lost.

Mike shook his head helplessly, and in order to avoid encountering the same thing as last time, he replied to the contributor of this article with a "Sorry, your submission did not meet our submission requirements, you can try to transfer your head to another journal].

Well, it's better to be happy alone than to be happy in the crowd, and let the editorial brothers of other journals also have fun.

Then without further thought, he moved on to the next one.

This one is very professional, both the title and the abstract are already very mature.

Of course, as is customary, he will also take a look at the information of this contributor first.

"Hmm, Skarna Gelton, Associate Professor of Mathematics at New York University? Past Published...... There are 27 papers, of which 5 are in the first district, but there is no experience in publishing in top journals. ”

It seems that another scholar is trying to challenge the Annals of Mathematics.

But will he succeed?

Mike looked at the paper, but it didn't take long for him to laugh.

Because he saw directly the problems in the argumentation process of this paper.

Although these editors are not very responsible for Princeton's faculty work, they all have the title of professor.

Otherwise, a bunch of professors from famous universities will submit articles to them, but the editor will not even have the name of a professor, so they will naturally not be convinced.

“pass。”

Replying to the associate professor with a rejection email, he continued to look at other submissions.

In this way, after at least ten of the first ten submissions were passed by him, he finally saw the eleventh one.

"Eh, why is this article from three days ago, didn't I read all the papers from five days ago, could it be that all the papers from four days ago were distributed to other people?"

Seeing the submission time, he was a little puzzled, but soon he didn't pay attention to it and looked at the topic.

"For every multiple of 4 n=4k, where k is a natural number, there is an Adama matrix of order n......"

"Huh? This proposition seems a little familiar. ”

Mike was lost in thought.

Seems to have heard of it.

Half an hour later, his heart suddenly shook.

"It's ...... Adama conjecture! ”

Adama is well-known in the mathematical world, which makes the conjectures he left behind, although unpopular, but not lacking in people know.

And Mike happened to know it, because he happened to be researching this direction.

Thinking of this, his heart suddenly came with a lot of interest.

Someone actually tried to prove Adama conjecture?

This is quite rare, because the civil science rarely touches this kind of conjecture.

And its difficulty naturally exists, "Remember until now, at most, the 428-order Adama matrix has been constructed?" ”

Thinking in his heart, he also downloaded all the attachments for this submission.

Of course, this also includes the information of the contributors.

No matter how awesome the title of the manuscript is, it is Mike's habit to read the contributor's information first, so as not to waste time.

It's just that after opening this contributor profile, after reading the basic information above, Mike was a little hopeless in his heart.

“Li Mu？ Only 19 years old? You're kidding me, right? ”

Not to mention how bold the Adama conjecture was at the age of nineteen, and to say that at the age of nineteen he dared to contribute to the Annals of Mathematics, and Mike would give the young man a thumbs up.

Have guts.

Of course, after a thumbs up, it's complete disbelief.

A nineteen-year-old young man, who may not have achieved anything before, can prove the Adama conjecture?

Mike was unconvinced.

"It's a pity, I thought it was a ...... that would bring news to the world of mathematics."

He shook his head and sighed, but he was only halfway through his sigh when he suddenly froze for a moment, because his eyes suddenly noticed the column of [Papers Published in the Past].

He blinked, and it was actually listed...... More than a dozen??

And ......

It's all in District 1???

Mike was frightened.
