Genius of the Rules-Style System

After Zhao Yi posted on Weibo, he stopped paying attention to the issue of public opinion and took advantage of the remaining time to check the report with Edward Witten.

They did the research together and made the report together, but they still assigned the content of the report.

The report on the Riemann Hypothesis was divided into three parts, which were conducted over three days. Edward Witten was responsible for the morning report, and Zhao Yi was responsible for the afternoon report.

One person is still making the report, and the other person is 'assisting', for example, responsible for answering questions at the end of the report, or supplementing the content of the report process.

Regarding the report on the first day, the two had some disputes because Edward Witten wanted to explain the problem of mass point shaping in string theory.

Zhao Yi believes that the mass point shaping of string theory has no direct relationship with the proof of the Riemann Hypothesis. The relevant content can be taken out separately without adding explanation of string theory.

Edward Witten insisted on his own point of view and believed that the quality point shaping part must be demonstrated first.

In the end, Zhao Yi compromised.

Anyway, three days of reporting time is enough. If Edward Witten wants to promote string theory, it doesn't matter if he does it.

soon.

The report meeting is coming.

The main content of the first day is the demonstration of the distribution relationship between even numbers and prime numbers, and the introduction of the Riemann function to standardize it. Simply put, it is the analysis of the Riemann function.

Edward Witten was in charge in the morning. After he stood on the stage, he began to talk about the issue of quality point shaping. His explanation really attracted a lot of people. Probably the main reason is that everyone felt that quality point shaping had nothing to do with Li. The proof of Mann's conjecture is directly related, otherwise why would Edward Witten explain it?

Everyone listened very carefully.

Edward Witten's explanation was also very serious. He is the world's top mathematician, but it is also a rare opportunity to give a report on string theory-related research in front of so many top mathematicians.

The morning passed quickly.

Edward Witten talked about the issue of quality point shaping in detail and listed a lot of content for analysis. Some people completely understood it.

Then, they wondered.

When it was time to ask questions, Thomson stood up and asked doubtfully, "Putting all the content together, doesn't it mean that we have created three sets of numerical relationship formulas under the Riemann function specification? Why do we need to explain so many irrelevant and related matters? Content?"

He asked Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi and Edward Witten made an agreement that one person would be responsible for explaining and the other would answer questions.

Edward Witten sat on the podium after explaining. Zhao Yi regretted this arrangement because everyone's questions were directed at him.

After listening to Thomson's words, Zhao Yi could only spread his hands and said helplessly, "I think this question should be answered by Edward."

Edward Witten said in a nonchalant voice, "Professor Thomson, don't you think the mass point shaping process is wonderful?"

Thomson said, "But this has nothing to do with the proof of the Riemann Hypothesis. The final result is a definite formula. You can just write the formula directly."

"This is our research process." Edward Witten made an excuse. "I'm just telling you the research process. I hope it can provide you with ideas for your work..."

This reason...

Many people seem to think it makes sense at first glance, but when they think about it carefully, they find that it is completely nonsense.

Edward Witten did it on purpose.

"Get down!"

"Go down and let Zhao Yi come!"

"Edward, don't be embarrassed, come down quickly! No one is interested in your string theory now..."

Mathematicians don't care about discipline or lack of discipline. Many people shout at the top of their lungs, which really doesn't give them any face.

Edward Witten was immediately embarrassed.

Zhao Yi said, "Everyone, please be quiet. This afternoon is my (time)."

…

At noon, many people were discussing Edward Witten and said a lot of nonsense to him and were very dissatisfied.

If you are a mathematician who is obsessed with string theory, you will definitely understand the mood of Edward Witten and feel the beauty of the mass point shaping process.

Unfortunately, most mathematicians are not working on string theory.

In the afternoon, Zhao Yi took the stage.

He directly wrote down the three sets of formulas obtained, and used this to launch a series of discussions.

Zhao Yi explained much more key points. He contacted the Riemann function and used topology to conduct a series of explanations and derivation.

It's much more normal now.

After the explanation was over, people in the audience also asked questions normally.

Zhao Yi explained a lot of content, and it was not easy to fully understand it. However, the audience were all top mathematicians, and some detailed issues still needed to be considered, so the overall grasp was not a big problem.

During the question time at the end of all reports, some people stood up and still asked about the derivation details.

The first day of reporting ended with many people raising their hands to ask questions.

The next day came.

The large conference room of the Mathematics Center was already overcrowded early. Many people gathered together and discussed boycotting Edward Witten.

"That guy Edward, if he talks about string theory again, we can leave in protest."

"When everyone at the venue leaves, let's see what he says about string theory!"

"What he said yesterday has nothing to do with the Riemann Hypothesis. I wonder how it is today? I still feel that Zhao Yi is more reliable."

"..."

Edward Witten also knew that he seemed to have offended the public. He had to check out the part that promoted the wonderful mathematics of string theory. After taking the stage, he went straight to the topic and talked about the Riemann Hypothesis and Fermat's Theorem. Canonical analysis of columns.

This part of the research focuses on the normative analysis of the topological form of mass points.

Now there is no way to continue to introduce quality points. The difficulty has actually dropped a lot. You only need to directly understand the specifications for column formulas.

In the afternoon, Zhao Yi continued to do relevant analysis.

This part is the most difficult. It can be said to be the core of proving the Riemann Hypothesis. Their explanation is very detailed. I hope everyone who comes to the report meeting can understand it.

Obviously.

The two of them slightly overestimated the abilities of others.

Although their explanations were very detailed, only a handful of top mathematicians could fully understand the process, and most of the others did not understand.

When it came time to answer questions, many people raised their hands to ask questions.

The Q\u0026A time in the afternoon was planned to be one hour, but the Q\u0026A lasted for two hours. Edward Witten felt like he had explained the whole thing by himself, and he felt very tired just from answering questions.

The last day is crucial.

In the morning, Edward Witten made a specification based on Fermat's theorem, concluded the numerical regularity list, and analyzed the behavior of the Riemann zeta function ζ(s).

This part of the content is very complicated. It is very difficult to follow the derivation process one by one. Edward Witten explained it very patiently and showed the confidence of a top mathematician. Every step was explained very clearly.

In the afternoon, Zhao Yi did the finishing work.

Based on the morning's conclusion and combined with other contents, he quickly constructed an equation. After a series of derivation, he proved that the constructed equation had the same meaningful solution as the Riemann function expression ζ(s)=0, because The equation is constructed based on the solutions fixed in the region, and it can be deduced that all meaningful solutions of ζ(s)=0 are on a straight line.

This is the result.

The main proof of the Riemann Hypothesis is to prove that all meaningful solutions to the equation ζ(s)=0 are on a straight line.

After everything was said, Zhao Yi looked at the stage and smiled slightly, "That's all."

"...This is proof that Mr. Edward Witten and I are together!"

Following Zhao Yi's concluding remarks, the audience remembered the sparse applause. The applause quickly gathered together and everyone applauded fiercely.

In fact, not many people can completely keep up with the rhythm, but mathematicians who can understand have determined that there are no major problems in the process. As long as there are no major problems in the process, the calculation and derivation parts can be verified slowly in the future.

Edward Witten was responsible for the rest of the Q\u0026A time, and some people sent congratulations in advance, "I listened to the whole process, and there were no problems at all, which proved that the thinking was very clear."

"While some of the derivation steps are complicated, overall it's completely fine."

“It’s unimaginable that I can see the Riemann Hypothesis proven in my lifetime!”

"This will be the greatest progress in mathematics in a century. However, I am not surprised at all by you and Edward, and I think others feel the same way."

"congratulations!"

"Congratulations on completing the Riemann Hypothesis, I believe history will record this moment!"

"..."

…

The report will end.

Whether the Riemann Hypothesis has been proven is not yet certain, because no one else can be 100% sure that it is correct after listening to the three-day report meeting. The top mathematicians only confirm that there are no problems with the process and ideas. Some details still need to be scrutinized and studied.

Internationally, top mathematical institutions need to speak out to prove some mathematical conjectures.

For example, Princeton Institute for Advanced Study, Newton Institute, etc.

These institutions will organize specialized teams to conduct detailed research and analysis on the proof process. If errors are found, they will point them out. If no errors are found, they will publicly state that they "believe in the conclusion."

When more influential academic institutions recognize the proof process, they will be 100% sure that the conjecture cannot be proved.

There are some things that don't require institutional accreditation.

Zhao Yi and Edward Witten worked together to determine the English version of the magazine early——

Annals of Mathematics.

"Annals of Mathematics" is the most influential and authoritative mathematics magazine in the world. Even among the four top mathematics magazines, "Annals of Mathematics" can be said to be ranked first.

One is because of its high influence.

Another reason is that there are few papers published. "Annals of Mathematics" publishes an issue every two months, and the overall number of papers published each year is limited to less than a hundred.

One hundred articles is the limit.

In fact, in the past few years, the average number of papers published by the "Annals of Mathematics" per year has not exceeded 60. Occasionally, there will be too few papers and the printing time of the new issue will be delayed.

"Annals of Mathematics" will print physical papers and also issue corresponding electronic versions. The electronic version is also chargeable. Only papers that have been published for five years can be downloaded and used for free.

The grade of "Annals of Mathematics" is still very high, but compared to Zhao Yi and Edward Witten, it is nothing at all.

Even if the proof of the Riemann Hypothesis has not been recognized by the institution, or even before the report meeting, they have already 'scheduled' the paper for publication, and their manuscript has been sent without any need for revision. There are some minor problems, the editor The department will modify it directly.

As for whether the thesis is correct or not...

The editorial board of "Annals of Mathematics" doesn't consider it at all, and it doesn't even matter if it's wrong, just because the publishers are Zhao Yi and Edward Witten.

This is the influence of top mathematicians.

…

The lecture on the Riemann Hypothesis really made the Mathematics Center of Yanhua University lively for a while.

Although the report only lasted three days, there were still mathematicians staying here for a week to discuss mathematical problems with their colleagues. The Mathematics Center of the Faculty of Science became a place for them to communicate on mathematics.

Zhao Yi also stayed at the Mathematics Center. It was a rare opportunity to have discussions related to mathematical theories with so many top mathematicians.

Meanwhile, there's good news for math centers.

The day after the report meeting, Wiles found Zhao Yi and said that he was very interested in working at Yanhua University and hoped to join the Mathematics Center.

"Welcome!"

"We will be colleagues from now on!"

Zhao Yi said very enthusiastically that he immediately informed the academic affairs department, the head of the School of Science and logistics, and asked them to help arrange for Wiles.

It's definitely great news that Wiles has agreed to join the Math Center.

In the previous Mathematics Center of the School of Science, only Zhao Yi "supported the scene", and the others were less famous mathematicians.

Zhou Li is already top-notch.

Obviously.

Zhou Li and Wiles are not on the same level. Wiles's Fermat conjecture was proved wrong, but his mathematical ability cannot be denied. He is definitely the best in the world.

Now that Wiles has joined the Mathematics Center, it is equivalent to another 'great god'. Wiles will undoubtedly bring great help to the Mathematics Center in the field of education. Perhaps under his guidance, the Mathematics Center can cultivate Get your own Fields winner.

In the past few days, Wiles' mood has been very ups and downs. It is not easy to make a decision that he has never thought of.

Zhao Yi's invitation moved his heart.

If he had not experienced failure, Wiles would never have considered working in China, because China was a completely unfamiliar country to him.

It's different now.

Wiles didn't want to go back to Country Y, so coming to China was a good choice. At least there wouldn't be too many people pointing at him and saying, "Look! That loser and liar!"

"He said he proved Fermat's conjecture, and he deceived the whole world!"

In reality?

Wiles still believed he was right until he was proven wrong.

He is a loser, but not a liar.

Wiles thought about coming to China to work, a new environment, and full of yearning for a new life. He thought, "Maybe I can do research with Zhao Yi in the future? Complete a world-class result together?"

He began to look forward to it.

Zhao Yi didn't have much time to pay attention to Wiles.

After the report meeting was over, he reinvested his energy in anti-gravity research and was still engaged in theoretical work.

It's not that the theory needs to be further improved. The main reason is that several people in the theory team couldn't understand his research in a short period of time.

So Zhao Yi had to go there in person.
