Chapter 77 A tragic graduate student

After rubbing his eyes and putting down the thesis in his hand, Gowers got up and moved around, and made himself a cup of coffee by the way, preparing to study the thesis carefully at night.

One is that this thesis is so smooth that he can't believe it. Although he has already begun to believe that this thesis is correct, it is too unbelievable that he can't find a single mistake.

The second is that this thesis solves a world-class mathematical conjecture. Even if it is him, it is impossible to be sure that the thesis must be correct so easily.

Any mathematician should maintain a rigorous scientific research spirit. To prove any conjecture or problem, it is necessary to repeat several times or even dozens of deliberations and diagnoses.

As far as Gowers is concerned, he will not allow wrong proofs to flow out of his hands, which will be a major blow to his reputation, the mathematics community, and "New Advances in Mathematics".

He would not and could not watch such a thing happen, let alone in his own hands.

After Jinling and Nanjing University delivered the proof papers of the weak Weyl_Berry conjecture, Xu Chuan didn't care about it anymore.

Such a thesis is enough for him to graduate from university.

Of course, this doesn't mean that he doesn't need to continue learning mathematics. On the contrary, he still has a lot to learn.

The Weyl_Berry conjecture is just a drop in the vast ocean of mathematics.

However, after the proof paper of Weyl_Berry's conjecture was submitted, he did not continue to study mathematics for the time being, because Weyl_Berry's conjecture brought him a little inspiration about physics.

As I said before, if the Weyl_Berry conjecture is confirmed, it can be applied to the calculation of the shape of stars in the universe and the size of the universe.

Although the weak Weyl_Berry conjecture is not a complete version of the Weyl_Berry conjecture, it also asymptotically advances the spectrum of elliptic operators to a higher degree.

Xu Chuan found that using this new method, it seems that the size of some planets with clear observation data can be recalculated.

Betelgeuse, for example, is a red supergiant star more than 640 light-years away from Earth.

Now it has entered its later years, and it seems to have signs of supernova explosion, but because the distance is too far, today's astrophysical community has not obtained an accurate value of its size.

If the precise size of parameter four can be determined, then the physics community will get more information about it, such as where it has gone, how long it is before the supernova explosion, and so on.

These are very valuable.

It is a pity that although Nantah University has an astronomical telescope, it has its own observation tasks, and Xu Chuan cannot apply for it for the time being.

However, some of the data collected from the text were not applicable, and no value could be calculated, so after wasting nearly twenty days of research on this area, Xu Chuan decisively put it down first, and returned to the In the study of mathematics.

Mathematics and physics complement each other and can indeed help each other.

Days passed like this day by day, one night self-study, when Xu Chuan was studying the basics of mathematics in the library, a call came to his mobile phone.

Xu Chuan took out his mobile phone and saw that it was his mentor Chen Zhengping calling.

Looking around, Xu Chuan moved himself to a position that would not affect other people's study, and then connected the phone.

"Hello, teacher."

Just as Xu Chuan said hello, a hurried voice came from the opposite side.

"Where are you now? Is it convenient?"

Xu Chuan was stunned for a moment, and quickly replied in a low voice: "I'm in the library, what's the matter?"

"Then come to my office now."

It was already dark, but the physics laboratory building was still brightly lit.

Xu Chuan found Zhang Zhengping's office and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Soon, a voice came from inside, and Xu Chuan walked in.

To his surprise, not only his tutor was in the office, but also Professor Zhou Hai from several colleges, and the Kun whom he remembered to be called when he met him in the library more than a month ago? It was Peng, a senior graduate student who forgot his specific name anyway.

"Did you submit a paper to "New Advances in Mathematics" recently?" As soon as Xu Chuan walked in, Professor Zhou Hai couldn't wait to stand up and asked.

Hearing this question, Xu Chuan probably understood why Chen Zhengping wanted him.

Nodding his head, Xu Chuan responded, "I did submit a paper to "New Advances in Mathematics" more than a month ago."

"Does it weaken the proof of the Weyl_Berry conjecture?"

Zhou Hai asked immediately, and Xu Chuan nodded again.

After confirming the answer, Zhou Hai breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Xu Chuan and praised: "Young people are awesome."

"Professor, how do you know? Do you want to read a paper?"

Xu Chuan looked at Zhou Hai suspiciously. He hadn't thought of the fact that "New Advances in Mathematics" had published his paper in the journal. He thought it was revealed by the familiar graduate student at the back that Zhou Hai came to find He wants to read the paper.

But thinking about it, I feel that something seems wrong.

Hearing this, Zhou Hai's face was a bit weird, and he said, "Did you not pay attention to your mailbox after you submitted your paper?"

"Um?"

Xu Chuan was strangely puzzled. It has been more than a month and less than two months since he submitted the manuscript. What is he doing with his mailbox? As far as the piss of "New Advances in Mathematics" is concerned, there is no time for his paper to be published in three or four months. Don't even try to publish it.

As for the copyright agreement, it has been reported a long time ago.

"You look at this."

Zhou Hai turned around with a strange expression, took a journal book from the desk, and handed it to Xu Chuan.

Xu Chuan swallowed his breath, and took the journal. No matter how slow he was, he would have guessed something, and knew what he felt wrong before.

But he couldn't believe that the proof paper weakening Weyl_Berry's conjecture was published so soon?

Flipping through "New Advances in Mathematics", on the first page, Xu Chuan saw his own thesis, and couldn't help swallowing again.

so fast? It seems less than two months, right?

This does not conform to the urine nature of "New Advances in Mathematics".

"Xiao Cai, go get your junior a cup of tea."

On the side, Zhou Hai acted as the owner of the office, and said to Cai Peng who had been standing aside.

"Ah, no need." Xu Chuan quickly waved his hand and asked the senior graduate student to pour tea for him. How embarrassing it is.

However, Cai Peng, who was standing aside, immediately set off to find the cup, skillfully poured a cup of hot water from the electric kettle, and handed it to Xu Chuan respectfully with both hands.

"Boss, please drink tea."

"Boss, it's hard work for you to hide it from me. Didn't you say that you only read a few books on this topic in the library before? Now all the papers have been published, and I'm miserable."

After passing the tea to Xu Chuan, Cai Peng said with a resentful face.

Xu Chuan looked at Cai Peng suspiciously, a little puzzled.

What does the publication of his thesis have to do with this senior?
