Chapter 291 Dropping another bomb for the mathematics world

It is undoubtedly a very difficult thing to ask mathematicians around the world to follow the International Mathematical Union and not attend the four-year Mathematicians Conference, but to come to the Jingzhou Institute for Advanced Mathematics for mathematical exchanges. It has to be sufficiently attractive to those mathematicians.

It is normal for Qin Xiangxin to express doubts about this.

However, just for domestic mathematicians to participate, Xu Yun always felt that something was missing and could not have a sufficient impact on the International Mathematical Union.

The Secretary-General of the International Mathematical Union openly banned him from participating in the conference. He would always feel that his ideas were not clear until he regained his place.

Besides, since he dared to make this suggestion, he must have already thought about how to do it.

"Don't worry, Dean Qin. I think those mathematicians will be happy to participate in our mathematical exchange activities."

Xu Yun explained to Qin Xiangxin with a smile on his face.

Look confident when you speak.

But this sentence made Qin Xiangxin even more confused. He really couldn't think of a reason for others to participate.

If it were held at another time, with the charisma of Xu Yun's name, some mathematicians might be able to be invited to come and support.

But at the same time as the International Congress of Mathematicians, no matter how you look at it, this is not possible.

Worried that it would be even more embarrassing if he didn't invite anyone, Qin Xiangxin hesitated and expressed his worries.

"It's okay to hold exchange meetings in the name of our Institute of Mathematics, but does the specific time need to be adjusted?"

"I'm afraid that by then everyone will be too busy to participate."

Xu Yun took Qin Xiangxin's words and said with a smile: "If you don't have time, then you don't have to attend the International Congress of Mathematicians."

As soon as these words came out, Qin Xiangxin was a little stunned.

As for Qin Xiangxin's expression, Xu Yun naturally noticed it, but he did not explain immediately. Instead, he asked a question first.

"Dean Qin."

"What do you think mathematicians in the world are most interested in?"

Being asked such a question suddenly, Qin Xiangxin couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

I don’t know what this has to do with holding an exchange meeting.

But he was surprised in his heart, and after he came to his senses, he truthfully told his opinion.

"For purely academic mathematicians, the most attractive ones are definitely mathematical problems."

"Well said."

Xu Yun nodded in agreement with this answer, and then stopped talking about his real plan.

"Then if I announce to the outside world that I will announce the proof process of the Riemann Hypothesis at this exchange meeting, do you think anyone will be willing to participate?"

"What did you say?"

"Proof process of Riemann Hypothesis?"

After hearing Xu Yun's words, Qin Xiangxin almost thought he had heard wrongly.

He never expected that Xu Yun would suddenly give him such a big surprise.

As the dean of the Institute for Advanced Studies in Mathematics at Jingzhou University, he is naturally very clear about the Riemann Hypothesis.

The problem of the century, which can be hailed as Mount Everest by the mathematics community, has been studied by countless well-known mathematicians. Both its value and popularity are higher than those of several other world mathematics problems.

Since this hypothesis was proposed, many mathematicians have tried to prove it.

But there was no progress at all.

When Xu Yun successively solved Hodge's conjecture and Goldbach's conjecture, he felt that Xu Yun was the most likely person to solve the Riemann hypothesis.

At that time, mathematics will surely reach a new level.

As a result, Xu Yun later gave up his research on theoretical mathematics and switched to the field of chemical materials.

He thought he would never see this day in his lifetime, and the Riemann hypothesis could not be proven.

After all, if you start to be responsible for various projects, you will have very little time for research even if you don't give up mathematics. Trying to prove a century-old problem again is something you dare not even think about.

However, it just happened.

No wonder Xu Yun is so sure that those mathematicians will come to participate. Faced with the temptation of the Riemann Hypothesis, no one can refuse it.

Thinking that the International Congress of Mathematicians would be an upset and that mathematicians from all over the world would come to Jingzhou City for academic exchanges, a large number of pictures appeared in his mind uncontrollably.

I believe that the faces of those at the International Mathematical Union will be very exciting when the time comes.

The thought stayed here, Qin Xiangxin barely controlled his inner excitement and confirmed with Xu Yun again.

"Did you really prove the Riemann Hypothesis?"

The main reason is that he knows very well that Xu Yun was designing door frame robots, developing new photoresists, and taking charge of the photolithography machine project. It doesn't look like he has time to prove the Riemann hypothesis. You need to know what it takes to prove a century-old problem. The investment is much larger than that of key research projects.

But Xu Yun's next answer immediately made his face full of astonishment.

"not yet."

"No?" Qin Xiangxin immediately became anxious.

Just when I was about to ask what was going on, I heard Xu Yun reply: "But there are still a few months until the Mathematicians Conference in July, which is enough for me to complete the entire proof process of the Riemann Hypothesis."

And this answer also made Qin Xiangxin completely dumbfounded, and he really didn't know what to say.

I thought Xu Yun had proved the Riemann hypothesis, but unexpectedly he planned to prove it temporarily.

The key point is that there are only a few months left before the Mathematicians Conference. Who can guarantee that it can be proved 100%.

If it were that simple, the Riemann hypothesis would not have existed for so long without being solved by the mathematical community.

Everest’s problem of the century is no joke.

But for now, there is really no other better way.

The atmosphere in the office was slightly depressed for a moment, and then Qin Xiangxin seemed to have made some decision.

He raised his gaze and stared at Xu Yun solemnly: "How sure are you?"

"I'm very confident." Xu Yun was naturally not modest at this time and replied calmly.

It just so happened that he got the Riemann Hypothesis proving process as a random reward, and he originally wanted to study it and write a paper for publication.

Since this has happened, then simply invite mathematicians from all over the world to prove it offline and accept everyone's doubts and refutations. This will have a much greater impact than publishing it in a paper.

Xu Yun thought of something next and reminded: "In addition, I plan to disclose this matter to the public and let everyone know that at the exchange event at the Institute for Advanced Mathematics at Peking University in July, I will announce that the Riemann hypothesis has been proven."

When Qin Xiangxin heard this sentence, he naturally knew what it meant. Although he chose to believe Xu Yun, he couldn't help but confirm it.

"Have you thought it through?"

"Once the news is announced to the public, if the Riemann hypothesis cannot be proven by then..."

Although Qin Xiangxin didn't finish the last sentence, the meaning he wanted to express was already very clear.

After hearing this, Xu Yun was also worried that Qin Xiangxin would not be able to sleep well in the future, so after thinking about it, he gave him a shot in the arm.

"Don't worry, Dean."

"Actually, I have already had the proof idea, and I have only a few months left to complete the proof process."

Another thing he didn't mention was that the strength of the Institute for Advanced Mathematics at Peking University should not be underestimated, and it could provide him with some help in some step-by-step demonstrations.

With his two graduate students as assistants, the speed will only be faster than when he proved it alone before.

At this point, Qin Xiangxin still had questions, so he immediately nodded and replied: "Since you have made a decision, the college will definitely support you to the maximum extent. I will go to the imperial capital today to discuss it carefully with Lao Yuan. Get things settled as soon as possible and start preparing.”

"Then I'll trouble you, Dean." Xu Yun nodded in response.

He must have great trust in Qin Xiangxin, and with the help from the Mathematical Society, there will basically be no problem.

What he had to do next was to immediately start studying the proof process of the Riemann hypothesis.

After making the next plan, Qin Xiangxin did not stay too long in Xu Yun's office, and then turned around and left in a hurry.

Apparently he planned to go to the imperial capital to discuss with Yuan Chengming.

As for Xu Yun, he didn't forget what he had to do today. After watching Qin Xiangxin leave, he also locked his office and went to the library.

He wants to study quantum mechanics as soon as possible so that he can take the next step.

Qin Xiangxin knows very well what this incident means to the Institute for Advanced Study of Mathematics at Peking University and the domestic mathematics community.

Just imagine if mathematicians from all over the world really come to Jingzhou to participate in academic exchange activities, then the authority of the Institute for Advanced Mathematics at Peking University will invisibly exceed that of the International Mathematical Union. This achievement is unmatched by the Clay Institute of Mathematics. .

In addition, if the Riemann hypothesis is proved by Xu Yun, it will definitely cause a huge sensation around the world.

It is precisely because of these circumstances that Qin Xiangxin dared to have any delay.

After leaving Xu Yun's office, he took the nearest flight to the imperial capital without worrying about arrangements for returning home.

And he contacted Yuan Chengming as soon as possible after arriving in the imperial capital in the evening.

"Old Qin, you still can't trust me. Since I said on the phone that I would vent my anger on Xu Yun, I will definitely not participate in this year's International Congress of Mathematicians again."

At the same time, in a restaurant near the Mathematical Society headquarters, Yuan Chengming rushed over and saw Qin Xiangxin saying something unhappy in a private room.

He thought Qin Xiangxin didn't believe what he said, so he came all the way from Jingzhou City.

Naturally, Qin Xiangxin did not forget about business. After asking Yuan Chengming to sit down opposite him, he made his purpose clear.

"Of course I believe what you say, but I came here today because I have other things to discuss with you."

"What's going on?" Yuan Chengming asked seriously.

Obviously, he also saw that Qin Xiangxin came here for something important.

"Xu Yun plans to hold an academic exchange in our college on the same day as the International Congress of Mathematicians, and invite well-known mathematicians from around the world to participate?"

Yuan Chengming did not show surprise when he heard this sentence. Instead, he fell into deep thought and considered it.

What happened during the day made him immediately understand Xu Yun's plan.

Thinking that Xu Yun had indeed met many well-known overseas mathematicians before, how many would come to Jingzhou City to support Xu Yun if they were not willing to give face to the International Mathematical Union.

If it becomes a small fight by then, I'm afraid it will only bring shame to myself and the Institute for Advanced Mathematics at Peking University.

But just as he was thinking about this, Qin Xiangxin's next words almost shocked his jaw.

"In addition, Xu Yun will announce at the academic exchange meeting that the Riemann hypothesis, the problem of the century, has been proven."

"What did you say?" Yuan Chengming lost his composure.

It's no wonder that he couldn't control his emotions. Mainly because as a mathematician, I believe that anyone who hears this news will be unable to sit still.

Seeing the change in Yuan Chengming's expression, Qin Xiangxin couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"Like you, I was shocked when I first heard the news, but Xu Yun seems to be very confident about it. He is sure that he will completely prove the Riemann hypothesis in the remaining few months."

"What we need to do is fully cooperate with him and let the International Mathematical Union and mathematicians around the world know where the most authoritative mathematics palace is."

After coming back to his senses, Yuan Chengming's expression was a little complicated. He didn't expect that he would hear so much breaking news in just one day.

But for some reason he wasn't very worried.

If any mathematician in the world said that he could completely prove the Riemann hypothesis within a few months, he would think that the other person might be crazy.

However, this question does not apply to Xu Yun.

It seems that as long as what Xu Yun says, it can't be without aim.

After all, Xu Yun himself is a miracle.

You must know that no one in the world can continuously prove two difficult mathematical problems in the world.

I remember that when Xu Yun announced that he had proved Hodge's conjecture, everyone also didn't believe it.

With this continuous miracle in mathematics, who can guarantee that Xu Yun cannot prove the Riemann hypothesis.

As a lot of thoughts emerged in his mind, Yuan Chengming soon made up his mind secretly. He raised his eyes and looked at Qin Xiangxin and said: "The Mathematics Society will fully cooperate with this matter. I believe Xu Yun can succeed."

"Me too." Qin Xiangxin said that a smile finally appeared on his face.

In this way, the two of them ordered a few dishes for the next time and discussed the next steps while eating.

——

Under the arrangement of the two men, the Mathematical Society came forward to publicly protest against the International Mathematical Union the next day.

Accused the alliance secretary-general Professor Smith of openly ostracizing Xu Yun, a famous mathematician from the Mathematics Society.

He is prohibited from participating in the International Congress of Mathematicians.

Coupled with forwarded reports by official media, the matter quickly attracted the attention of netizens.

For everyone, Xu Yun is the pride of the mathematics community. He successfully solved two world-wide mathematical problems and achieved a breakthrough in the development of mathematics into a new field.

If such mathematicians cannot participate in the International Congress of Mathematicians, then others will be even less qualified.

Of course, many people have guessed the specific reason, thinking that this is retaliation for the domestic extreme ultraviolet lithography machine incident.

As a result, netizens were filled with indignation and left messages complaining about Xu Yun. At the same time, they also went to the International Mathematical Union website to question and ask for an explanation.

"Why should Professor Xu be banned from participating? Even if it is to retaliate against the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine last time, it is too shameless."

"This foreign little old man is very bad!"

"People who have solved two of the world's most difficult mathematical problems can't participate. We might as well not hold this conference because there's no value in it."

"It's not uncommon to go if you're not allowed to go."

"I have never seen anyone so shameless!"

"I didn't expect such disgusting things to happen even in the field of mathematics. It's really disappointing."

The related popularity spread rapidly, and even many overseas users expressed their support for Xu Yun after learning about the incident.

You must know that Xu Yun has a lot of fans overseas due to his charisma.

In addition, the other party likes the Trailblazer Lingyue more and more, and is eager to buy it. In this case, Xu Yun will definitely take sides.

Just as things were getting more intense, new news was released by the domestic mathematics community and the Institute for Advanced Mathematics at Peking University.

Announced that the Institute for Advanced Mathematics at Peking University will work with the Student Union to hold an academic exchange in Jingzhou City in early July.

And took the opportunity to invite mathematicians from all over the world to participate.

Netizens are not fools. When they saw this news, they immediately understood that the Institute for Advanced Mathematics at Beijing University was trying to compete with the International Congress of Mathematicians for people.

For netizens, their favorite thing is to join in the fun, not to mention that this is to give an explanation to the domestic mathematics community.

Spontaneous publicity and reposting without any guidance at all has made related topics easily reach the top of the hot search list on major websites, and even become quite popular on overseas platforms.

Originally, netizens were a little worried, thinking that it might be difficult for Peking University to compete with the International Congress of Mathematicians.

As a result, the Institute for Advanced Mathematics at Peking University released another piece of news that could be called a bomb without saying anything.

Xu Yun will announce at the academic exchange meeting that the Riemann hypothesis has been proven and publish the complete proof process.

When this news appeared on the Internet, it was not just that netizens were stunned and excited, but the entire mathematical community was shocked.

Almost immediately, most mathematicians got the news.

Some people are even in a state of confusion.

Completely unable to react.

After all, there are not a few mathematicians or institutions in the mathematics community who are still studying the Riemann hypothesis. Now they are suddenly told that this problem has been solved by others.

This is like investing a lot of time and energy into a project, only to find out that other people's papers have been published when the project is about to be completed.

All efforts are undoubtedly in vain.

If other people say that they have proved the Riemann hypothesis, then many mathematicians will probably end up refuting this news by this time.

Never thought that the Riemann hypothesis could be proven so quickly.

But this person happened to be Xu Yun. With the previous two experiences, no one dared to speak publicly.

It would be a shame if Xu Yun really proved the Riemann hypothesis.

But precisely because of this, many mathematicians are also excited. If the Riemann hypothesis is proven, it will undoubtedly be a great blessing for the entire mathematical community.

For this reason, in this situation, some well-known mathematicians who had a good personal relationship with Xu Yun all chose to send emails to Xu Yun to inquire about the news.

What is certain is that their attention has long been firmly attracted, and it is impossible to attend the Mathematicians Conference again no matter what.

If you miss this important moment in mathematics when the Riemann hypothesis is proven, you will definitely regret it for life.

What's more, even if the Riemann Hypothesis is not proven in the end, having such a big gimmick is definitely more interesting than attending the International Congress of Mathematicians.

Compared with the doubts and doubts in the mathematics community and waiting for verification, domestic netizens naturally believe in Xu Yun.

Thinking that an individual would soon be born in the mathematical world who would continuously prove three world-wide mathematical problems, everyone felt deeply proud of Xu Yun, as if the blood in their chests was boiling.

Countless people temporarily stopped what they were doing and poured into the website platform to share the joy with each other.

"I knew that Peking University must have a backup plan, but I didn't expect Professor Xu to solve the Riemann hypothesis."

"The door frame for studying the Riemann hypothesis is much higher than Goldbach's conjecture. Looking at the entire mathematical community now, I am afraid that only our Professor Xu has the ability to prove it."

"I'm afraid the International Mathematical Union will be dumbfounded now. Daring to catch Professor Xu's attention is definitely the stupidest decision they have ever made."

"That's the Riemann Hypothesis. Professor Xu is too strong. Sometimes I really want to take Professor Xu to the hospital to have his brain sliced ​​and examined."

"Before, I remember someone said that Professor Xu ran to other fields because his potential in the field of mathematics was exhausted and it was difficult to make new achievements. Now I ask the person who said this if his face hurts."

"I can already think of the scene in July. This International Congress of Mathematicians is probably going to be bad."

"I heard that proving the Riemann hypothesis involves quantum mechanics. Could it be that Professor Xu also has in-depth research on the quantum field?"

And when the news of the Riemann Hypothesis spread rapidly in the academic world, at the International Mathematical Union headquarters, Professor Smith, who was the Secretary-General in the office, was not in a good mood.

Although Xu Yun is prohibited from participating in the International Congress of Mathematicians, the order issued by above has nothing to do with him.

He is just the executor.

But as the prover of two world-wide mathematical problems, Xu Yun is known as the most talented mathematician in the history of mathematics. He also has many close personal friends in the academic world.

Knowing that Xu Yun could not participate in this conference would definitely be a strong dissatisfaction.

Naturally, I wanted to ask Smith for an explanation.

"Mr. Smith, as the prover of Hodge's conjecture and Goldbach's conjecture, Xu is also a member of the alliance. Why is he not allowed to participate in this year's Mathematicians Conference?"

"I think I need an explanation about this."

In the office, Griffiths, a professor at the Clay Institute of Mathematics, sat on the chair in front of his desk and expressed his dissatisfaction to Smith in front of him.

When the last Mathematicians Conference was held, he invited Xu Yun to attend.

And on behalf of the Clay Mathematics Institute, Xu Yun was awarded the prize.

It can be said that he is very fond of this genius who is younger than his student but shows unparalleled mathematical talent. Otherwise, he would not have invited him to join the Clay Mathematics Institute before.

Last year, he was very angry when he learned that Xu Yun was on the security building's focus list and could no longer come to the Clay Mathematics Institute to communicate with him.

A protest was even filed.

Unfortunately, nothing changed in the end.

I wanted to take advantage of this International Mathematicians Conference to exchange more mathematical research with Xu Yun.

Who would have thought that something like this would happen again.

He couldn't stand it anymore, so he came to the alliance headquarters from the Clay Mathematics Institute to inquire about the situation.

Smith also seemed to have a headache when faced with Griffith's questioning, but due to the identity of the other party, he had to explain patiently.

"Professor Griffith, this matter is not something I can decide. You'd better not embarrass me here."

"Besides, Xu has long since withdrawn from the mathematics community. Whether he can participate in this conference will not have any impact on him."

This answer obviously did not satisfy Griffith, but just as he was about to continue questioning, he was interrupted by a knock on the door outside the office.
