From small town academic to chief scientist

Zhouyi said:

"Okay Teacher Qiu, I'll take a look now,

Anyway, I've been stuck in the research on antimatter recently, so I'll see if I can get some inspiration from my sister's paper. "

The Jacobi conjecture is a well-known open problem.

At the end of the last century, Vladimir Arnold, then Vice President of the International Mathematical Union, was inspired by Hilbert.

Invite some mathematicians to list some mathematical problems for the upcoming 21st century. Stephen Smail, who was invited, gave 18 unsolved problems in 1998, and the Jacobi conjecture was among them.

This conjecture has not been solved since it was first proposed by German mathematician Ott-Heinrich Keller in 1939.

As far as Zhou Yi knows, a cruel reality is that at least five published proofs are wrong.

For example, the proof given by Susumu Oda in the 1980 preprint is wrong.

In 2004, Mel Hochster, a professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Michigan, announced that Carolyn Dean, a mathematics lecturer at the University of Michigan, had proved the two-dimensional Jacobian conjecture, which caused a big sensation;

Mel Hochster carefully checked every detail in her article and was convinced that it was correct, but it was soon discovered that it was also a false proof.

In 2005, Professor Su Yucai submitted a paper "Proof of the Two-Dimensional Jacobi Conjecture" on arXiv, and Professor Mo Zongjian subsequently issued an article pointing out that the proof was wrong.

The road to proving Jacobi's conjecture is very difficult.

So if Xiao Wanyi hadn’t proved Zhou’s conjecture, if it hadn’t been Qiu Chengtong waving the flag and shouting, and if it hadn’t been the Normal School of Paris adding fuel to the fire behind the scenes,

Maybe the attention won't be very high.

After all, the Jacobian conjecture covers a wide range of areas, including algebra, geometry, topology, differential equations, combinatorics, etc.

There are many ways to study the Jacobi conjecture.

Many mathematicians have transformed it into various equivalent forms and studied it from different angles.

Research in areas such as analysis, algebra, or geometry, to name a few.

However, Chinese mathematicians have also made great progress in the Jacobi conjecture.

Professor Stuart Sui-Sheng Wang from the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Auckland proved in 1980 that the n-dimensional Jacobian conjecture holds true for quadratic polynomial mapping. This was an important development, but the proof was very simple.

Professor Jie-Tai Yu of the University of Hong Kong proved in 1995 that for a negative polynomial mapping with a Jacobian of 1, the n-dimensional Jacobian conjecture is true.

If Zhou Yi had not been tasked with studying the seven millennium problems, he would probably have turned around to study the Jacobi conjecture.

Because this conjecture starts from the direction of algebraic geometry, which is a good method, and the road paved by predecessors has been very good.

As long as you are familiar with Zhou's analytical method, Zhou's geometry and differential equations, you have a high chance of proving it.

It’s just a matter of who is faster and who is slower.

Xiao Wanyi studied under Qiu Chengtong, and her geometric skills are beyond doubt. Coupled with her deep understanding of Zhou's analytical method,

Zhou Yi feels that this paper is likely to falsify the Jacobi conjecture.

When n ≥ 3, the probability of Jacobian conjecture being established is very low, and the mathematical community is generally not optimistic about it.

Zhou Yi is also very unfavorable.

Zhouyi downloaded and read it immediately.

The paper had many pages and was in the direction of algebraic geometry. Zhou Yi could not read it very quickly.

Because this paper is not a number theory paper or a geometry paper.

If it comes to papers in these two directions, Zhou Yi usually reads them very quickly, but now he reads them very slowly.

While Zhou Yi was immersed in reading the paper, there was a lot of discussion about this paper in the mathematics community.

Opinions are mixed.

There are supporters, opponents, and even jealous ones.

A 21-year-old girl has achieved such an achievement, which is simply groundbreaking.

The first female mathematician to win the Fields Medal was Iranian-born Mariam Mirzakhani.

She was only 35 years old at that time.

If Xiao Wanyi's paper is recognized by the mathematics community, there will be two candidates for the Fields Medal in Daxia.

And each one is more evil than the other.

The founder of two schools of thought, a 20-year-old genius,

A 21-year-old female mathematician, no matter who she is, will be recorded in the history of mathematics and the history of Great Xia.

And the most talked about thing is that both of them are Qiu Chengtong’s disciples.

Still from the same sect, I am afraid that Qiu Chengtong's lineage will not be afraid of giving in more than the Grothendieck lineage.

The Grothendieck lineage includes Deligne and Faljens.

Qiu Chengtong's lineage includes Zhou Yi and Xiao Wanyi.

News about Xiao Wanyi spread like wildfire on the Internet. After all, Xiao Wanyi was a famous blogger with millions of beautiful girls.

There are many fans in Douyin and Bibo, and now there is a major breakthrough.

The popularity of its fans is terrifying.

Many people commented under the personal accounts of Xiao Wanyi and Zhou Yi's scientific research assistant:

[Oh my god, Daxia has produced two genius mathematicians at the same time, oh my god!

It was an era that witnessed the rise of mathematics in Daxia. 】

[You are a fart witness. Do you think everyone is Professor Zhouyi? Writing an essay versus an essay? 】

[Professor Zhou Yi is the only one who currently carries the banner in the mathematics community of Daxia, and no one else can.

It’s hard to say whether this paper is correct. Too many people have stumbled upon the Jacobi conjecture. Xiao Wanyi is too young and has not achieved many results. She is just a third- or fourth-rate Zhou conjecture. 】

[I hope the paper is correct, then our country Daxia will really be in the first year of the rise of mathematics.

There is no doubt about Professor Zhou’s mathematical achievements, and the Jacobi conjecture is enough to make Xiao Wanyi a strong contender for the 2026 Philippine Prize. 】

[I have a question, who has achieved greater results, Professor Zhou or Xiao Wanyi? 】

[I’m afraid it’s not the idiot upstairs, Xiao Wanyi will have a hard time memorizing it in her life. Professor Zhou is a pioneer. His own theory is his own, and he is the founder of many schools of mathematics.

Xiao Wanyi just used various tools to prove mathematical problems. This kind of math problem is just a bit difficult in the mathematics world. 】

Many people were quarreling over the question of who was stronger or weaker, Zhou Yi or Xiao Wanyi.

Various marketing accounts and self-media are already trying to catch Xiao Wanyi's popularity.

"Shocked, the first female mathematician in Daxia!" 》

"Shocked, the original internet celebrity blogger turned out to be the first female mathematician in Daxia! 》

"As we all know, Internet celebrity is the main job, and learning mathematics is just a side job. 》

There are even those who are not afraid of death and just speculate on CP.

"The story that Professor Zhou Yi and Xiao Wanyi have to tell." 》

"Shocked, Xiao Wanyi once chased Professor Zhou! 》

"The love-hate relationship between Xiao Wanyi and Professor Zhou!" 》

"The reason why Xiao Wanyi traveled across the ocean was Professor Zhou Yi's cruel refusal?" 》

Many marketing accounts directly dug up the incident between Zhou Yi and Xiao Wanyi.

Many people ate the melon one after another, and some fans of Xiao Wanyi scolded Zhou Yi for being cruel.

Such a delicate girl is willing to refuse.

Still so stunning.

All kinds of rhythms on the Internet can fly, and all kinds of tidbits can spread like crazy.

The two people involved have not yet come out to refute the rumors.

Zhou Yi was busy reading Xiao Wanyi's paper, and Xiao Wanyi was busy checking her own paper.

A mathematical proof paper or a big conjecture paper will generally have more or less errors.

And you can't check it yourself.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many erroneous papers being pointed out.

Are those mathematicians stupid? Or carelessness?

neither.

It is difficult to get out of your own thinking pattern.

Once you enter your own logic, it will be difficult to find it unless someone prompts you.

This means that the authorities are confused and the onlookers are clear.

Every reviewer, if he does not follow the author's logic, will not fall into confusion, but will be a bystander.

In this case, it will be much easier to find errors in the paper.

Zhou Yi sighed while watching,

The new apprentice Zhang Jiahui asked weakly:

"Teacher, how is the situation? Is my uncle's paper right or wrong?"

Zhouyi said:

"It seems that there are no errors so far, but I have only read more than 20 pages, so I can't read very quickly."

Jiang Guoyu on the side said weakly:

"They say that to reach the highest level of mathematics requires not only hard work and concentration, but also talent."

Zhou Yi took a sip of hot water, then rubbed his tired eyes and said:

“In the top field of mathematics, concentration and hard work account for two-thirds, and talent is estimated to account for one-third.

But if you have talent and don't work hard, you will never succeed. You have some talent, not much, but you must believe that hard work can make up for your weakness.

Mr. Zhang Yitang is a good example. You have received better orthodox scientific research education than them. "

Zhang Jiahui said:

"Teacher Zhou, don't you ignore the comments online?"

Zhouyi said:

"No, the background photos on all my platforms are photos with your wife, don't care what they are doing."

Since Shen Yiyu, Chu Li and others graduated, Zhou Yi's office has become a lot deserted.

Just two apprentices, Zhang Jiahui and Jiang Guoyu.

At present, the two apprentices are still learning some relatively basic courses.

Accumulate enough reserve knowledge to lay the foundation for future fields.

After resting for a while, Zhou Yi said:

"Zhang Jiahui, you will go to the cafeteria for dinner later. Please bring me a rice bowl with fried shredded pork with green peppers, and a cold vine vegetable. I don't plan to take a break at noon, so I will continue reading."

The two looked at each other and saw that their boss was studying here, so their plan to take a lunch break was ruined.

Watching until the afternoon, Zhou Yi became more and more fascinated as he watched.

"Senior sister started from traditional algebraic geometry, but there are some shadows of Zhou's geometry. The algebraic ideas in it,

How do I feel that it can be applied well in a certain aspect?

What theory got stuck in the algebraic direction in the first place? "

Zhou Yi fell into deep thought.

Zhou Yi thought for a long time and had no idea, but he felt that this feeling was very strong and could be applied to the problems left over from the beginning.

Zhouyi feels very important, very important, and it is an application that may subvert the world.

Zhou Yi gradually woke up and said to his two apprentices:

"I'm going to be in seclusion for a few days, so I asked Yiguang to hire an aunt to bring me meals every day, at 7 a.m., 12 noon, and 6:30 p.m.

Just put it at the door. "

The two said:

"OK."

Zhou Yi immediately returned to his apartment in Chongqing High Court. He didn't go home because the two old people might interrupt his thoughts.

"I won't give it away tonight. I'll go to the cafeteria to eat by myself."

After Zhou Yi finished speaking, he went to the cafeteria and returned to his apartment after eating.

Zhou Yi began to say to the system:

“Use inspiration as it strikes.”

Zhou Yi had two sudden inspirations in the lottery. He used to think there was no need to use such precious things.

But now it seems that if you don’t use it, you may not be able to find the application value in Xiao Wanyi’s paper.

Even though many subjects in Zhouyi are now very high-level, it is not necessarily possible to find the application value of every paper.

When the inspiration for Zhou Yi suddenly appeared,

I took the enhanced version of the focus capsule I drew again, and my brain began to work rapidly.

At this moment, the knowledge of mathematics, physics, chemistry, artificial intelligence and other subjects appeared crazily in Zhou Yi's mind.

In a mysterious and mysterious state,

Each theory is very clear and automatically substituted.

Zhouyi first ruled out the application of artificial intelligence.

Secondly geodynamics.

"Is physics and chemistry the only ones left? It seems like it's mostly physics."

Sure enough, with the blessing of powerful inspiration, Zhou Yi quickly ruled out the huge role of algebra in chemistry.

It’s not that this paper is useless for these disciplines, but it’s not as useful as Zhou Yi consciously thought.

At this moment, countless physical knowledge emerged in Zhou Yi's mind,

Contents about condensed matter physics, astrophysics and other branches appeared crazily in Zhou Yi's mind.

Until we locked into quantum mechanics.

Only then did Zhou Yi suddenly realize.

"This is it! It's quantum mechanics.

Quantum mechanical information theory! "

Zhou Yi shouted excitedly in the room,

“It was originally impossible for quantum entanglement to be applied, but now it seems that the probability is very high.

Originally, the mathematics behind quantum mechanics was very complete. Algebra is to quantum mechanics what symplectic manifolds are to classical mechanics. It is the icing on the cake.

It's more about giving a deeper understanding of the theoretical structure of quantum mechanics.

But now it seems that the situation has changed.

Why didn't I think of the connection between algebraic geometry and quantum mechanical information theory? "

Zhou Yi looked pained at the moment. He had drawn 20 draws, but he might not be able to get a sudden inspiration.

After Zhou Yi figured out the application direction, he felt so hungry that his chest pressed against his back.

Looking at the time, it turned out to be noon on the second day.

Zhou Yi quickly opened the door and found two lunch boxes.

I took it in directly, heated it in the microwave, and started eating it with relish.

Without energy, the brain’s thinking speed will slow down.

Only when you are full can you have the strength to think about what follows.

Although the time is less than 7 hours, it is still time to clarify some specific directions.

"Senior sister really gave me a big surprise. I thought it would take a long, long time to break through the application of quantum entanglement.

Now it seems that within ten years, or within five years, I can make a perfect quantum communication system.

Starting from algebra is really a feasible framework. "

Zhou Yi's eyes flashed and he said excitedly while eating.

epoch-making significance.

If controllable nuclear fusion is of epoch-making significance, then quantum information theory will also be of epoch-making significance.

After eating, Zhou Yi put the garbage outside the door. The garbage would be taken away by the aunt who delivered the meal, instead of Zhou Yi throwing it into the garbage container himself.
