Genius of the Rules-Style System

The lights in the huge conference room were bright, and the participants were sitting in their respective seats. Most of them were well-known scholars at home and abroad, or simply top mathematicians, and foreign scholars accounted for half of them.

Most of the domestic visitors are people from the fields of mathematics and physics, and some are politicians and influential officials, including the deputy mayor of the capital and members of the deputy ministry level. Their arrival represents concern from the national level. and support.

In addition, there are a very few special guests.

For example, Lin Xiaoqing, Zhao Linlin, and Xu Chao all came specifically to see Zhao Yi give a report.

This is a big day for Zhao Yi, so naturally there are a few 'family votes'.

The report meeting is about to begin.

There are cameras set up everywhere on both sides and in the corridor in the middle, and the open space in the front row is also filled with filming and video equipment.

There were more than twenty recording devices placed on the table of the podium, and it was a bit dizzy to see them so densely packed.

Zhao Yi, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, walked up to the podium with a smile on his face. The originally noisy conference room quickly became quiet.

Everyone looked at the stage in tacit agreement.

When he looked up at the audience, Zhao Yi felt a little nervous. Except for a few "family ticket" audience members, anyone in the audience was a very influential figure, either in academia or In the political world, being watched by so many big shots is a huge pressure on anyone.

Fortunately, Zhao Yi can be regarded as "experienced in hundreds of battles" and has spoken to leader No. 1. What does the scene in front of him mean?

He also has plenty of confidence.

Zhao Yi took a deep breath, kept a smile on his face, and said loudly, "Thank you all for your hard work and coming to Shuimu University to listen to my report here on the research results on Fermat's conjecture!"

First of all, I must thank the guests, and then I will give a short summary of the report. "My report mainly has two parts. One part is the analysis of the 'argument for the smooth value of natural numbers' on space topology, and the other part is the final proof." .The front is the most critical.”

"I believe everyone has already received a detailed certification process, right? Because the time of the report is limited, I have omitted some simple steps in the report and only talked about the overall process and complex steps."

“I’ll leave some time for questions at the end.”

Half an hour before the report meeting starts, everyone who participates in the report meeting will get a detailed certification document. Half an hour is definitely not enough to read it carefully, but with Zhao Yi's explanation, it is almost enough. Clear.

This time it was a ‘free report’ and no reviewers were specifically invited.

Shuimu University still found a few highly respected people among the guests and sat in the front row to act as temporary reviewers. They would finally express their opinions on the results.

Although it is not a formal affirmation of 'whether the proof is correct', because Fermat's conjecture has attracted world attention and the report will be held publicly, there will definitely be a large number of live videos. After the report is over, mathematicians from all over the world can express their opinions. , do a public review.

So it doesn’t matter whether there is a review or not.

After Zhao Yi finished his simple opening remarks, he quickly got to the point, his proof process of Fermat's conjecture. The paper was written for 27 pages, half of which was based on the demonstration of "smooth values ​​of natural numbers in space topology".

‘The smooth value of spatial topological natural numbers’ is to prove a spatial topological form. When the natural number is taken, the form will be in a ‘closed’ state, that is, ‘the value is smooth’, otherwise it is ‘non-smooth’.

"Suppose there is a point β in the space. The spatial coordinates of β are all natural numbers. We need to determine whether β is inside, outside or on the edge of the topological figure."

"Let's analyze the relationship between β value and topological analysis. The topological equation just made..."

"Suppose β is a function..."

Zhao Yi spent a long time on the demonstration of "smooth values ​​of natural numbers in space topology" and explained it very carefully.

This part is the core and most important.

As long as you can understand the problem of "smooth values ​​of natural numbers in space topology", the proof process of Fermat's conjecture is relatively easy to understand.

People in the audience also knew its importance, especially the top mathematicians. They all became extremely interested when they discovered that Zhao Yi was explaining a method of applying topological analysis to the field of number theory.

This is what the mathematical community always says. The most important thing in solving world conjectures is not the result, but the process of proof. A novel proof method will greatly promote the development of mathematics, and the result is just a result.

For example, Goldbach's conjecture.

Proving it proves that not much has changed.

Some conjectures have little impact even if they are not proven. The same goes for Fermat's conjecture, because computers can calculate to dozens of digits, and dozens of digits can be said to be the limit that humans can use.

If a counterexample to Fermat's conjecture appears in the numbers "hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands", it means that Fermat's conjecture is not true.

So what does it matter?

Anyway, in terms of human technology, such high-ranking numbers cannot be used for the time being, and they will not have much impact on reality at all.

So the process is more important than the result.

The most serious person in the audience and the one who has attracted the most attention is Princeton University professor and Fields Medal winner Edward Witten. He is recognized as one of the top mathematicians in the world.

Edward Witten held his chin with one hand and looked at the podium with a solemn expression, following Zhao Yi's explanation in his mind, constantly understanding and digesting it.

At the same time, Edward was also a little depressed.

Edward was very depressed when he heard that Zhao Yi was going to "report on the results of Fermat's conjecture". He remembered that he gave Zhao Yi a mathematical manuscript from his unlucky colleague last time. As a result, Zhao Yi conducted a research on Fermat's conjecture based on the content of the manuscript. simplify.

That's all.

Some time ago, Zhao Yi had a video chat with him and took the initiative to talk about topology. He thought Zhao Yi wanted to use topology to demonstrate the problem of multi-dimensional space.

The results of it?

Now I know.

This guy is here to complete the proof of Fermat’s conjecture!

On the one hand, Edward felt that it was a pity that Zhao Yi had focused his attention on other aspects and did not seem to pay much attention to string theory, M theory, multi-dimensional space and other issues. On the other hand, he was also depressed because Zhao Yi had really produced results.

Fermat's conjecture!

"I've been studying that mathematical manuscript for a long time, but why didn't I think of 'Lebi elimination'? Why didn't I think of using it to simplify Fermat's conjecture?"

"Topology? Why do I think of multidimensional space instead of using it to do number theory research?"

Edward felt very depressed thinking about it, and even pinched his face hard. He felt as if there was a golden mountain in front of him. In the end, he just thought that there might be a beautiful coral under the golden mountain, so he swam down to find the coral.

As a result, the coral was not found and the golden mountains were moved away!

Edward also knew that his idea was a bit extreme, because Jinshan might not be moveable in front of him, and it was even said that it was impossible to move. However, he was still a little depressed in his heart. He could only sigh and think, "I hope it's done." This way, he can focus more on physics, M theory and the study of multi-dimensional space."

Edward just lamented Zhao Yi's genius, while some people came specifically to find fault.

For example, Brent, a mathematician from country Y.

As the saying goes, "comrades are enemies" and "comrades are equal to enemies", Zhao Yi has "deep hatred" with the mathematics community of country Y. He proved Andrew Wiles's logical error, and the honor of proving Fermat's conjecture originally belonged to him. Wiles, belongs to Country Y Mathematics. Zhao Yi not only let the honor leave Country Y Mathematics, but now he wants to block the way and steal the honor?

Brent is a famous mathematician in Country Y. He works at the Newton Institute and heard Wiles' report on Fermat's conjecture.

Now Brent is here just to 'find mistakes'. He listens more carefully than others, and takes time to scan the arguments in his hand, hoping to find some mistakes. He has already made a decision, as long as he finds some mistakes If you have a question, immediately stand up and question it.

However, he never stood up.

Brent found that Zhao Yi's proof logic was outrageously rigorous. He did not use any ambiguous definitions or theorems, he just rigorously did space topology and function analysis. When it came to complex topological analysis, it was indeed a bit difficult. understand.

For example, Bente, the student he was taking with him, whispered from behind, "Teacher, how did he make the switch just now? Why did he suddenly..."

“If you don’t understand, just write it down!”

Brent reminded him in a low voice with a dark face and said no more.

really.

Some places are very complicated and it is difficult to understand without sufficient topology foundation, but you can't ask questions just because you don't understand, right?

There was a live broadcast at the scene, and there were reporters from many countries.

If you make an 'unintelligible question' and it is reported live by the media, you will probably be laughed out of the academic circle.

What Brent is sure of is that, except for a few things that involve advanced topological knowledge and some that are not well understood, everything else is correct and there are no problems with the logical thinking. The most exciting and meaningful part of the argumentation process is , the other party used topology in the analysis of natural numbers.

Number theory and topology, two types of mathematics that were originally related, are closely integrated.

Brent couldn't help but clap his hands. He couldn't help but be surprised by the exquisite argumentation process and the method created by the other party. He also had to admit that the young man on the stage was indeed a super genius in mathematics. What he had done The proof of Fermat's conjecture was countless times stronger than the proof made by Wiles more than ten years ago. He still remembered that after Wiles finished his long report, more than a dozen people stood up and asked questions. It can even be said to be doubtful.

Wiles answered some of the questions, but not others.

What now?

Brent hoped to find a question, but he thought about it but didn't know what to ask. The proof process was so rigorous. Unless he didn't understand the process, what else could he have?

In fact, there was something he didn't understand. After all, he hadn't done any careful topology research and related advanced content analysis, so his brain was a little slower.

However, he, the famous mathematician Brent, was sitting in the front row of the conference hall, and he was also a temporary reviewer. Even if he didn't understand something, he absolutely couldn't show it.

"I, Brent...

Got it all!

No one knows better than me! "

Brent leaned back in his seat, crossed his arms, and smiled with a knowing smile.
