Chapter 143: The World Mathematical Community: We Need an English Version of the Proof Process!
[On the third day of the just-concluded Huaguo Mathematics Academic Summit, in the morning report, the speaker Li Mu once again completed the proof of the twin prime conjecture in an unexpected way in the mathematical community.
Although whether his proof is perfect or not is still subject to the review of the mathematical community, Professor Qiu Chengtong, Professor Zhang Yitang and others at the scene said that they did not find the problems in the proof, and Li Mu's proof is rigorous and accurate, even if it is put in the entire mathematical community, it is worthy of recognition.
It is reported that Professor Qiu Chengtong is the winner of the Fields Medal, the Fields Medal is the Nobel Prize in mathematics, and it has a very high status in the international mathematical community, and Professor Zhang Yitang has made the most important breakthrough in the twin prime conjecture in 2013, and is one of the most authoritative experts in the international mathematical community in the twin prime conjecture.
Both of these mathematicians have made a very high evaluation, believing that in the near future, the twin prime conjecture will be confirmed to officially withdraw from the stage of mathematical conjecture and become the twin prime theorem, or Lee's theorem.
In addition, at the end of Li Mu's report, there was also a very interesting incident, Li Mu said that he was convinced that he had found a way to prove Polignac's conjecture, but because the blank space on the blackboard was too small to write, he did not take out his proof.

The hot search on Weibo completely described the content of Li Mu's report, including Qiu Chengtong and Zhang Yitang's high evaluation of Li Mu's proof afterwards, and even a video of the whole process of the report.
It can be described as very detailed.
而这条微博发出来之后也不过半小时,在热度上就已经凌驾于其他诸多热搜。
网友们又一次沸腾。
[Twin prime conjecture? , is it number theory again? This is a real cow batch]
What does it have to do with number theory? Details]
[Didn't you listen to what Academician Yuan Xiang said at the beginning of the video, number theory is a game of genius, and every problem in number theory is particularly difficult, just like the hail conjecture, as well as this twin prime conjecture, the description of the problem seems very simple, and any student in our country can understand it, but if you really want to think about how to solve it, you will only find that you can't start, so mathematicians who can achieve something in number theory are very handy. 】
[I don't know how to feel it, anyway, the shepherd is awesome]
[Indeed, the Faun is awesome! 】
[Damn, the Faun even has a way to guess Polliniac? 】
[God TMD blank is too small to write!] Are you kidding your brothers? 】
[I can imagine how much those mathematicians in the audience wanted to beat him up after hearing this sentence, and there were really people who dared to teach horses!] 】
[I'm a melon eater, what does this mean? Who is Fermat? What's the origin? 】
[Fermat was a mathematician more than 300 years ago, and is known as the most amateur mathematician, he once left a problem called Fermat's last conjecture in his book, and wrote in the book this sentence: I am sure that I have found a wonderful proof, but the gap here is too small to write. It's such an interesting fact in mathematics. 】
[Wow, that's really underwhelming.] 】
[Wait, I suddenly discovered something, Fermat was born on August 17th, which means that there are two days left before Fermat's birthday, so if you think about it this way, maybe the Faun is using this method to commemorate Fermat.] 】
[I'm grass, it seems to be eh! 】
Suddenly, this netizen's speculation was unanimously recognized by people, and even a group of people ran to Li Mu's Weibo and asked him if he was planning to do so.
It wasn't until Li Mu learned about this incident that he could only cry and laugh and say that it was really just a coincidence, and he didn't know that Fermat's birthday was coming soon.
It was a pure accident.
……
Of course, the proof of the twin prime conjecture is not only disseminated in China, but also known to the entire world mathematical community in a very short time.
At this moment, the mathematical community could not sit still again.
Is there such a thing in this world?
It took only one conjecture in the first half of the year to figure out that the entire mathematical community felt that this year was not in vain, and their mathematics had taken another important step.
As a result, this important step has just been taken, and they probably haven't stood up straight yet, and they are about to take the second step?
For a moment, the entire mathematical community didn't know what to say.
It was really Galen who whispered, silent and broken.
[Houli crab, why does he always succeed? ] 】
[Because people are geniuses, right? 】
[Although I admit that I am a waste, and I am still studying the 2×2 operator matrix of garbage, I also want to prove such a world-class conjecture!] 】
[That's good, are you a genius? 】
[I said I wasn't, but I just wanted to!] 】
[Then you go and become a genius first.] 】
【Fake squid!】 】
[It's good to get used to it, it's good to get used to it, and it's not a good idea for Asian math to be good, but now there is a particularly good one.] 】
[Having said that, do you know how Li Mu proved it? ] Why can't I find his proof process on the Internet now? 】
[Now there is only a Chinese version, but there are also related videos, but what Li Mu said in the video is also in Chinese, do you want to watch it?] 】
[Don't, I've studied Chinese for a few months, and that's the last thing I want to remember. 】
[Even, buy Ka, hurry up and translate it into English for me!] I want to see how he proves it! 】
【Then go learn Chinese!】 】
[Fake! 】
……
Since Li Mu gave a report at the Mathematical Society in China, there was only a Chinese version of the proof process for the time being, which made the originally silent and broken mathematical community boil again.
Hurry up and publish the English version of the proof process - it has become the unanimous voice of all foreign mathematicians.
Department of Mathematics, University of Oxford.
Professor Andrew Wiles' office.
"Wiles, I heard that Li Mu has already enrolled as your student, why don't you hurry up and contact Li Mu and ask him to translate that paper?" Even if it's sent to arxiv first! ”
An old man in his early 60s sat at his desk, urging Professor Wiles, who was sitting at his desk and studying something.
The old man's name was Simon Donaldson, and he was a fellow at All Souls College, Oxford.
All Souls College, University of Oxford, brings together all the best minds at Oxford, and those who are able to enter All Souls College have outstanding achievements in their respective industries.
And this Simon Donaldson, as a Fields Medal winner, naturally became one of them.
It's just that he is the best in Oxford, but he also has to be stumped by Chinese.
No mathematician could reject the proof of the twin prime conjecture, and he was no exception, so he came to Wiles for help.
毕竟李牧指名了要成为怀尔斯的学生,两人肯定是有较好的关系的。
However, Professor Wiles did not raise his head, and said directly: "Then go learn Chinese." ”
"God, my esteemed Sir Wiles, are you sure you're not joking?"
"Of course I'm not kidding, that's what I'm going to do."
Wiles showed off what he was working on.
Simon Donaldson took a look and was stunned: "Are you learning Chinese?" ”
"Yes, after all, my best student will be a Chinese, and of course I have to learn their language." Andrew Wiles nodded and said with a smile: "When he comes, it can be regarded as a surprise for him." ”
Simon Donaldson: "...... No wonder he would be willing to be your student. ”
