From small town academic to chief scientist

I don't know how long it took, but Zhou Yi was awakened by a rapid knock on the door.

Zhou Yi woke up in a daze, then forced himself to turn on his phone, slowly walked to the door, opened the door, and found that it was Qiu Chengtong and Xiao Wanyi.

Zhou Yi looked at them with some confusion and said:

"What's up, is there something urgent?"

Qiu said with a hint of concern:

"Wanyi said that you haven't been out for two days. You haven't eaten or drank, and you can't make calls on the phone. I was afraid that something might happen to you, so I came to see you."

Zhou Yi looked at Qiu and Xiao Wanyi and said:

"It's okay, the inspiration came so quickly, I didn't even have time to eat."

At this point, Zhou Yi's stomach made a sound, and his mouth suddenly felt dry.

Qiu nodded and said:

“It’s true that you can’t have too much inspiration in your life, you have to grab it when it comes, but you also have to take care of your health. The first element of scientific research is to have a good body.

Clean up your image, go out for a meal, and take a good rest. "

After Qiu finished speaking, he said nothing and left. This apprentice was enough for him to worry about.

As for Zhou Yi's inspiration and what great achievements he made, Qiu wouldn't worry about it. At his age, he had no achievements.

Xiao Wanyi on the side handed Zhou Yi an insulated lunch box and said:

"Xia Xue asked me to call you from the cafeteria. She said you didn't answer her video call for two days because she was afraid something would happen to you."

After saying that, he left without waiting for Zhou Yi's reaction.

How did they meet?

Zhou Yi was a little confused, but he took out his mobile phone and looked at it. It was indeed out of battery.

Zhou Yi poured a cup of hot water from the water dispenser and drank it before he felt much clearer. Is the side effect of the initial inspiration so big?

Zhou Yi thought.

Not long after, Zhou Yi sent a message to Xia Xue after his cell phone was charged.

Xia Xue replied almost instantly.

After confirming that it was Xia Xue's request, Zhou Yi opened the insulated lunch box and ate the pumpkin stewed millet porridge.

While eating, Zhou Yi looked at the projected paper. Under the control of Mu Dan, it was turning pages at a speed that Zhou Yi was accustomed to.

The Zhou analysis method is more than half complete, and some details need to be added to it to completely complete the first version of the Zhou analysis method.

Zhou Yi said while eating:

"Introduce Baker's theorem as a lemma..."

Studying the ABC conjecture, while ignoring Mochizuki Shinichi's paper, one of the two current mainstream ideas is to start from the refinement of Baker's theorem and slowly approach the ABC conjecture. This is also the inspiration from Zhouyi's previous study of the ABC conjecture.

As for another idea, start with the definition.

For integers a, b, c that satisfy a+b=c, gcd(a,b)=1; define L=L(a,b,c)=[logmax(丨a丨,丨b丨,丨c丨)]/log(rad(abc))],

The main study here is the upper bound of L.

As Qiu and Bill Carr said, no work is done in vain. A tool for studying the ABC conjecture was eventually used by Zhou Yi to prove Bill's conjecture.

Unconsciously, the time went from morning to afternoon, and it didn't end until Zhou Yi was extremely hungry.

After Zhou Yi washed the insulated lunch box in his hand, he took it to the office and gave it back to Xiao Wanyi. Then he packed a meal and returned to the dormitory to continue writing.

With the help of Peony, the speed is so fast.

While Zhou Yi was dictating, Peony not only automatically generated the papers Zhou Yi needed, but also projected them in the room like a movie.

Of course, all this is based on the fact that Zhouyi's ideas are very mature and a lot of preparation work and research have been done before, so that it can be written so smoothly.

If there is no preparation at all, just to open up wasteland, you still have to use manuscript paper to write and draw.

This time lasted for another two days before Zhou Yi finally perfected the first generation of Zhou's analytical method.

As for whether there is a second generation, Zhou Yi doesn't know, but he feels that there may be one.

Because the practicality of this tool is not very helpful for the ABC conjecture, there may be better research directions for other number theory conjectures.

This is Zhou Yi's idea. When the paper is published, I don't know what others will do with it.

Zhou Yi took a long breath, then took his mobile phone and went to the supermarket to buy a lot of rice, oil, vegetables and meat.

Prepare for a complete retreat.

One million magnesium gold, Zhou Yi felt close at hand for the first time.

As for whether Zhou Yi can cook, one of the essential survival skills for Bashu men is to be able to cook.

If you don't know how to cook, you won't be able to get a wife. This is basically a matter of word of mouth.

After everything was prepared, Zhou Yi sent a message to his teacher, Xia Xue, Birkar and others,

Then he began to work day and night to conquer Bill's conjecture.

This is the first time Zhou Yi has overcome a world-class problem with his own efforts. One can imagine Zhou Yi's excitement.

Qiu Chengtong looked at the message Zhou Yi sent to him and couldn't help but sigh,

Maybe this is the passion of young people. It’s good to be young.

After seeing the news, Birkar thought it was reasonable.

A young genius would not think about lying on his laurels and waiting to die, even if it is Zhou's Geometry of the Book of Changes,

Kepler's Zhouyi theorem, Newton's Zhouyi theorem and many other famous theorems are enough to make Zhouyi famous in the history of mathematics, but Zhouyi also chose to continue to develop.

This is the charm of mathematics, and this is what an enterprising scholar should do.

This is the deep love for mathematics.

The Book of Changes is like this, and so are they.

Zhou Yi doesn't know when he started studying the ABC conjecture, but it took a long time anyway.

It was not until today that Zhou Yi felt that he had a great understanding of number theory after he created Zhou's analytic method.

Zhou Yi said eloquently:

"X_0(N_E)→E, assuming φ_e is one of the parameters of the minimum degree..., we have fifty-seven formulas:

deg(φ_e)=c(N_E)^(1+0(1)),. . .

From Theorem 3, Theorem 9, Lemma 5, and Lemma 7. . .

We can know that x^p+y^q=z^r, there is no positive integer solution that satisfies the conditions (x, y, z) = 1, p, q, r\u003e2.

That is to say, the equation x^p+y^q=z^r has a positive integer solution, then x, y, and z must have common factors.

Certification completed! "

When Zhou Yi finished his last sentence, a paper was completely formed, and Mu Dan wisely showed the whole paper from the beginning.

Zhou Yi looked at it and checked whether there were any errors.

This paper has a total of more than fifty pages, which is much more streamlined than Wiles's paper of more than two hundred pages.

Mainly the analysis method of Zhouyi, which takes up half of the space.

After writing each paper, Zhou Yi has developed the habit of checking it two or three times.

This is taking responsibility for your own results.

In the next few days, Zhou Yi lived very comfortably. He only needed to run every morning, listen to music, and check his papers.

It took three days for Zhou Yi to confirm that, at least in his own opinion, there was no problem with the proof of Bill's conjecture.

Subsequently, Zhou Yi directly submitted his article to the magazine of the London Mathematical Society.

And he posted his paper on arXiv.

Brothers who are interested in studying the ABC conjecture or knowing the ABC conjecture can read these two documents "It's as easy as the abc conjecture;" "The ABC Conjecture Home Page."

In addition, the opportunity to make a fortune was given to the brothers a few days ago. Bill guessed that one million magnesium gold would be enough to pass the challenge. Remember to give the author a full subscription.
