From small town academic to chief scientist

Starting from the geometric direction is a new way to study the ABC conjecture.

But this approach is also much more difficult than the conventional method.

But Zhouyi's paper is definitely easier to understand than Mochizuki Shinichi's paper.

Nowadays, almost everyone in the world among mathematicians who study geometry and number theory understands Zhou's geometry and Zhou's analytic method.

Therefore, although Zhouyi's paper is difficult, it is not impossible to understand.

Moreover, in every paper written by Zhouyi, the proof process is usually written in great detail.

Only those papers on Zhou's geometry were very obscure and difficult to understand.

Not long after, Zhouyi had already started to get to the point.

“The form of the ABC conjecture we are familiar with is as follows:

For any positive number ε\u003e0, there are only a finite number of coprime positive integer triples (a, b, c) that satisfy a+b=c such that c\u003erad(abc)^(1+ε).

Its equivalent form, we can perhaps rewrite as:

For any positive number ε\u003e0, there is a constant K_ε\u003e0, such that for all coprime positive integer triples (a, b, c) satisfying a+b=c, there is K_ε·rad(abc)^(1 +ε).

Let’s start with the modulus space of elliptic curves.”

Zhou Yi began to describe his ideas, and then went on to describe the specific steps.

There was no discussion or whispering at the moment.

When ABC Conjecture was first launched in 2012, it could be described as a global report.

It caused a global sensation just like Wiles's proof of Fermat's last theorem in 1993 and Perelman's proof of the Poincaré conjecture in 2002.

All the conjectures that Zhou Yi proved originally, except Kepler's conjecture, are far less important than the ABC conjecture.

Including Goldbach's conjecture and Polignac's conjecture (twin prime conjecture).

There are many reasons why the ABC conjecture is so important.

For example, Goldbach's conjecture, twin prime conjecture, Fermat's conjecture, etc. all have the interactive characteristics of the additive and multiplicative properties of the ABC conjecture.

To describe the ABC conjecture in an extremely simple way, it is nothing more than the following,

1. Multiply A, B, and C, for example (the result is 3×8×11= 264;

2. Decompose the product into prime numbers, the result is 264 = 23×3×11;

3. Multiply all the different prime numbers in the prime factorization. The result is 2×3×11=66.

Compare the larger of the three numbers A, B, and C (i.e., C) with the result of step 3.

We find that the latter is larger than the former (since the latter is 66 and the former is 11).

For another example (16, 17, 33), the same result will be found.

If you look for some other examples, you are likely to find the same results.

But if you think this is a rule, you are completely wrong, because not only is it not a rule, but there are infinite counterexamples.

For example, (3, 125, 128) is a counterexample.

If the result of step 3 is enlarged to a power greater than 1,

If the power is even slightly larger than 1 (such as 1.00000000001), the situation may be very different.

At this time, although it is not necessarily guaranteed to be greater than the larger of the three numbers (i.e. C), the number of counterexamples will change from infinite to finite.

This statement is another form of ABC conjecture.

As time passed, Zhou Yi continued:

"Starting from the refinement of Baker's theorem and slowly approaching the ABC guess,

Results in this area include the following results obtained by C.L. Stewart and Yu Kunrui (1996) using Baker's theorem: c\u003cexp{C(rad(abc)^(1/3+ε))}"

With the emergence of this issue, the atmosphere at the scene obviously reached a climax.

Zhou Yi's speaking speed began to become more and more open,

“Next, introduce Theorem 1, Theorem 9, Theorem 17, Corollary 3, and Corollary 12 from Zhou’s analytical method;

Introduce Theorem 3, Theorem 7, Theorem 9, Corollary 1, and Corollary 7 from Zhou's geometry."

With the introduction of Zhou's analytical method and Zhou's geometry, the entire proof idea becomes clearer and smoother.

Reaching a perfect scene, countless mathematicians who were originally confused are now suddenly enlightened.

What was originally a strange proof suddenly became clear and clear.

The atmosphere within the entire venue reached the ultimate climax.

Those who can understand Zhou Yi's paper in twenty days do not have long time in the first place, and they are basically at the top of the number theory industry.

More people half understand and half don’t understand, and they all come with great doubts.

Now that Zhou Yi has explained it to this point, many mathematicians are already very clear about it.

They all looked at Mochizuki Shinichi, who looked constipated.

Mochizuki Shinichi couldn't help but feel angry when he saw many people looking at him.

Look at what I'm doing. After Zhouyi's proof paper came out,

I, Mochizuki Shinichi, once said, "Isn't it good to read the Book of Changes?"

Mochizuki Shinichi ignored it and still looked at Zhou Yi's explanation.

Schultz on the other hand was not so easy to talk to.

Who doesn’t know how to beat up a drowned dog?

"Xinyi, look at it, are there any mistakes in the Zhouyi paper?"

Schultz said meanly.

Mochizuki was expressionless and ignored Schulz's words.

Schultz continued:

"I have to say that Zhou Yi's proof method is actually related to several conjectures he proved before.

It can be seen that Zhou Yi wanted to prove the ABC conjecture at the beginning, but only after hitting a wall did he start with conjectures such as Beer's conjecture and Goldbach's conjecture. "

Jacob Sticks said:

"It can be seen that Zhou Yi has a deep understanding of Grothendieck's true biography and has also studied your cosmology thoroughly.

If we are not familiar with it, how can there be any trace of your cosmology? "

Jacob Sticks and Peter Schultz deliberately sat next to Mochizuki Shinichi.

If I don’t laugh at you and ridicule me today, I’d be sorry for the 18-year feud.

The two of them are also very familiar with Mochizuki Shinichi's cosmology, so they naturally understand it well.

Using some ideas in Mochizuki Shinichi's cosmology, we can prove that the ABC conjecture is really murderous.

Mochizuki Shinichi's face turned the color of pig liver.

His fists were clenched so tightly that the veins on his forehead were about to pop out.

Your mouth is really a sharp knife that can kill without blood.

In order to prove the ABC conjecture, Zhou Yi read Mochizuki Shinichi's paper completely.

If there are some useful things that can be transformed into your own theories, just borrow them.

Anyway, you, Mochizuki Shinichi, don’t know how to use these theories correctly.

I, Zhou Yi, will personally teach you how to use it, how to use it as an auxiliary theorem, and how to use it to prove the ABC conjecture.

Right now, the Zhouyi proof process has entered its final stages.

After the previous preparations are done correctly, the next step is natural and logical.

Since the death of Grothendieck, Faljens has not taken the mathematicians in the world seriously, except for Serre and Schulz.

Including his senior brother Professor Deligne.

Not to mention the rest of them.

It is even more difficult to see.

The shock that Zhou Yi brought to him now was no different from the shock that his master had given him back then.

At this time, Qiu Chengtong and Faryans glanced at each other in unison.

It’s self-evident what the eyes mean.

Qiu Chengtong whistled towards Faryans,

It seems to be saying, how about my apprentice, compared with your island country apprentice Mochizuki Shinichi?

Faryans looked a little embarrassed, but looked elsewhere without any trace.

When Falyans looked elsewhere, he saw Milno again.

Mirno smiled at Faryans, as if he was saying,

"How is my apprentice Zhou Yi better than your apprentice Mochizuki Shinichi?"

Faryans could only look at Mochizuki Shinichi in embarrassment.

However, when Faljens saw Mochizuki Shinichi sitting with Schultz and others,

He could only look at Zhou Yi on the big podium in embarrassment.

It turns out that his apprentice is also very embarrassed now.

MMP, in this situation, it’s not about who is strong and who is awesome, but whose disciple is weak and who is embarrassed.

Just when everyone's eyes met, Zhou Yi said on the stage:

"To sum up, we can get c≤C(ε)(rad)(abc)^(1+ε)."

At this moment, there was warm applause from the audience.

Faryans was afraid of embarrassment and wanted to leave early, but was intercepted by Qiu Chengtong and Milno at the same time.

Qiu Chengtong said:

"I am an ineffective apprentice, I use a hammer here and a stick here and there, doing mathematics, physics, chemistry, and artificial intelligence.

But, his attainments in number theory are indeed pretty good. I think that guy Shinichi might be able to learn from Zhou Yi. "

Milnor also said:

"After all, Xinyi is still too young and needs to learn more. In the future, Riemann Hypothesis, there is a high probability that Zhou Yi will take care of him.

Us old guys are all out of date. "

Faryans' inner MMP, Mochizuki Shinichi and Zhou Yixue, aren't I a generation younger than you?

Are you here to take advantage?

If you are not a master yet, if your disciples are no longer masters, who of your disciples will be a master?

Is my middle school student Mochizuki Shinichi?

Ma De, you went too far in showing off before, but now your retribution has come.

Faljens inner MMP.

At this time, many media and reporters were taking photos.

After all, Falyans is a person who pays attention to his grace, and it is not easy to get angry directly.

He snorted coldly and left directly.

Milnor complained to Qiu Chengtong:

"This old guy doesn't take us seriously because he is a direct disciple of Grothendieck. Who is young and isn't a genius?"

Qiu Chengtong said:

"Maybe we are evenly matched, but our apprentice is really better than him."

At this time, the question session has entered.

Many people present brought small notebooks and took many notes.

They were mentioned one by one at this moment.

Zhou Yi had a smile on his face, without any impatience, and patiently answered everyone's questions.

It makes people who were originally doubtful suddenly become enlightened.

"Professor Zhou is really a god in the field of number theory. I think Professor Zhou will really solve the Riemann Hypothesis."

Li Wenqing, a Chinese female professor at the University of Pennsylvania, said to Zhang Shengrong, a Chinese female mathematician at Princeton.

Professor Zhang Shengrong said:

"Professor Li, I felt this way when I was at Princeton.

do you know? Zhou's geometric complex analysis method is simply perfect.

It is more shocking than proving the 3n+1 conjecture. "

"How about we go back to China?"

Li Wenqing said suddenly.

"Go back home?"

Zhang Shengrong was silent for a while and said:

"Join the Chongqing High Court?"

Li Wenqing said:

"Yes, my husband Yang Jianping also wants to return to China. Doesn't the Chongqing High Court recruit talents from all over the world? Are we qualified?

The beautiful scenery here makes it suitable for helping the country train mathematicians while taking care of the elderly. "

Zhang Shengrong said:

"Zhou Yi invited me before, I'm thinking about it."

Both of them are mathematicians born in Wanwan, and they still have a place in the mathematics world.

Returning to the embrace of the motherland is not a bad idea.

Li Wenqing said:

"Returning to the motherland may be the most correct choice. Shengrong, think about it carefully. Fallen leaves must return to their roots."

Just when everyone was discussing in low voices, the entire conference was about to come to an end. Just when everyone was about to leave,

Qiu Chengtong said loudly with the microphone:

"Everyone, stop for a moment. Taking advantage of the fact that many colleagues are here today, I am here to announce something.

The 2026 International Congress of Mathematicians will be held at the Yuzhou Institute for Advanced Study. "

Everyone looked pitifully at the mathematicians from Chou Country.

It was originally planned to be held in Philadelphia, the Kingdom of Chou, but now it has been changed to the Yuzhou Institute for Advanced Study in the Kingdom of Daxia.

But in the world of mathematics, strength is also respected.

Zhou Yi's current strength and influence are no less than those of some double award winners.

Isn’t it a good idea to give young mathematicians a face?

If you offend Zhou Yi and don't want your Fields Medal, it will be embarrassing then.

Another Perelman?

It was now past 6 o'clock in the evening, and everyone began to slowly walk to the cafeteria to prepare for tonight's gathering of mathematicians.

And Zhou Yi was surrounded by a group of media at the moment,

"Professor Zhou, we are reporters from a certain foreign TV station."

"Professor Zhou, please accept our interview."

"Professor Zhou, can I take a photo with you? Just one photo. I want to go back to our school and show off to my juniors."

"Professor Zhou, can I shake hands with you? Just shake hands, who is it? My hands hurt so much."

"Brother Zhou, can I ask you some math questions tonight? I am a math student at a university in country X. I admire you so much.

I know everything~"

Zhou Yi had a dull look on his face, "I'll go, this is some inexplicable thing sneaking in."

Xueyuan?

He was unexpectedly met by me, Zhou Yi.

She is also a foreign girl.

At this time, Xia Xue was like an eagle guarding a chicken, watching these women with malicious intentions vigilantly.

Xia Xue believed in Zhou Yi's determination, but she didn't believe in the integrity of these students at all.

If there is a little scandal with Zhou Yi, their net worth will immediately double.

Even some academic editors give them a second look.

Zhou Yi was dragged out of the academic lecture hall by Xia Xue.

Then go straight to the cafeteria.

Zhou Yi was already planning to get drunk at the dinner party in the evening.

So I took Xia Xue with me. At least Xia Xue would take her back when she was drunk.

Instead of being led by Xueyuan to do some indescribable things.

Just as Zhou Yi and Xia Xue were on their way to the cafeteria, several of Zhou Yi's disciples surrounded them.

Zhang Jiahui, Shen Yiyu, Zhang Dugan and Jiang Guoyu, the four pure mathematics students all looked at Zhouyi with admiration.

Zhou Yi said to them:

"Someone will come to drink wine later. I am not very familiar with the person. Please remember to help me stop the wine."

Zhang Jiahui and others looked at Zhou Yi with confused expressions and said:

"Professor, how do we know who is familiar with you and who is not familiar with you?"

Zhou Yi's words put a lot of pressure on them.

Zhouyi said:

"Look at my face!"

The four people had question marks on their faces:? ? ? .
