Chapter 293 Can it be proven?

Deligne and Witten were already authorities in the field of mathematics, but they would not accept being restricted from traveling now. Since they had promised Xu Yun to go to Jingzhou City to witness the birth of a new milestone in mathematics, they must find a way to leave as much as possible. Princeton.

Because of the Riemann hypothesis, it can be said that very few people attend the International Congress of Mathematicians.

There are not many well-known mathematicians among them.

If the two of them express their participation, I believe there will be no resistance.

After arriving at the venue of the International Congress of Mathematicians, you can transfer to Jingzhou City.

Get rid of the constraints of a secure building.

As for the so-called consequences, they didn't take it to heart at all. After all, the security building's practices were not in compliance with regulations.

Witten had been in a bad mood all morning, but now his eyes lit up after hearing Deligne's suggestion.

He patted his thigh excitedly and said, "This is a good idea."

As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up to make arrangements.

"Then I will contact other people right away. I hope Xu can really surprise the mathematics community by then."

After speaking, he walked outside.

They are not the only mathematics professors at Princeton University, and others naturally do not want to miss witnessing the proof of the Riemann hypothesis.

And just as Delnewitten was preparing to participate in the exchange activities of the Institute for Advanced Mathematics at Kyushu University, the Clay Institute of Mathematics was also not very calm.

In the office, Griffith looked complicated and raised his gaze to look at his student Minter.

Slowly say a sentence for about half a minute.

"Have you really decided?"

"Yes, teacher." Mingte, who has the face of a handsome foreign boy, replied.

Griffith sighed after hearing this.

"You should know the regulations issued by the institute, which prohibit any member from participating in this mathematics exchange event in Jingzhou."

Griffiths felt angry when he mentioned this matter. When he learned that Xu Yun had proved the Riemann hypothesis and wanted to announce the process on the spot, he wanted to witness this blessing in mathematics.

As a result, something unexpected happened when the time came, and the Clay Mathematics Institute announced that no one could participate.

As a member of the Cray Mathematics Institute, he would be forced to leave the institute if he violated the rules.

Although he was very dissatisfied with the institute's approach, he had no choice but to give up going there.

However, he has great faith in Xu Yun and believes that the Riemann hypothesis has definitely been truly proven.

Although this incident is unbelievable, it seems normal to Xu Yun.

At this time, Minter heard Griffith's words, but his eyes still looked firm.

"teacher."

"I decided to go anyway."

After expressing his determination again, he opened his mouth to explain in detail.

"You should know that I have been studying the Riemann hypothesis for the past few years, but there has been no progress."

"Now that Xu Yun says he has proved the Riemann hypothesis, I have to see it with my own eyes no matter what, otherwise it will make me lose confidence in mathematics."

He has been studying number theory since joining the Clay Institute of Mathematics, and previously focused on Goldbach's conjecture.

I thought that one day I would be able to completely prove it, so that my name would be forever recorded in the world of mathematics, and I would become the greatest mathematician.

But who would have thought that Xu Yun, a mathematical genius, would appear. After solving Hodge's conjecture and then proving Goldbach's conjecture, he would be forced to end his research goals early.

But this aroused his competitiveness even more, and he wanted to solve a world mathematical problem to prove himself.

In the end, he set his goal on the Riemann Hypothesis and vowed to solve the Everest problem of the century.

For this reason, it can be said that he has not paid attention to anything other than mathematics in the past few years.

Spend most of my time in the institute.

However, he still underestimated the difficulty of the Riemann Hypothesis. Even if he put in a lot of hard work and sweat, he could never find an idea to prove the Riemann Hypothesis.

It's like this is an unsolvable problem at all.

But fate played a joke on him. When his belief in mathematics began to waver and he hesitated whether to give up, he suddenly received news that Xu Yun had proved the Riemann hypothesis and held an exchange meeting.

The first thought that popped into his mind when he learned about this was that he didn't believe it.

After all, he has been studying this conjecture for several years and knows the difficulty best.

I don't believe anyone else can prove it.

What's more, although he didn't pay attention to other things, he still knew a little bit about Xu Yun, who made the other party make too much noise.

It doesn't look like I have time to study mathematics.

But after a few seconds, he thought of Xu Yun's achievements in mathematics.

Prove Hodge's conjecture and solve Goldbach's problem.

He was shaken by this.

Maybe Xu Yun really can prove the Riemann hypothesis.

However, he was envious, and his admiration for Xu Yun was more from mathematics.

You must know that the other person is younger than him.

But after this incident, he felt a lot relieved and no longer pursued mathematical achievements too much.

It's just that he had to attend this exchange meeting at the Institute for Advanced Mathematics at Peking University.

Regardless of whether things were as rumored, he had to witness it himself.

Griffith didn't know what his student was thinking.

Speaking of which, he would definitely not stop anything, not to mention that he originally wanted to participate.

His thoughts stopped here and he immediately replied: "Since you have made up your mind, then do it according to your own ideas, and you should also witness the birth of this new milestone in the world of mathematics for me. I will take care of all the things here. I'll find a way to help you deal with it." After saying that, a smile appeared on his face.

After hearing all these words, Mingte quickly replied: "Thank you, teacher."

Then at Griffith's wave, Minter turned and left the office to pack his things.

Since he decided to attend this exchange meeting and witness the true proof of the Riemann hypothesis, he would definitely not just stay there for a day or two. He also planned to ask Xu Yun for advice.

Seeing that the official start time of the International Congress of Mathematicians and Beijing University Exchange Conference is getting closer and closer, this has made the global Internet very lively, and basically all netizens are discussing this matter.

During this period, officials from the International Mathematical Union issued multiple articles stating that due to the current limited research on quantum mechanics, the Riemann hypothesis cannot be truly proven.

Xu Yun was even accused from the side of deliberately attracting attention, deceiving mathematicians and affecting the normal progress of the mathematicians conference.

This move by the International Mathematical Union is undoubtedly intended to reduce everyone's attention to the Riemann Hypothesis.

This ensures that those mathematicians will attend the International Congress of Mathematicians.

After all, this is related to the alliance's face and authority.

Fortunately, the officials of the International Mathematical Union did not say these things. As a result, in addition to not changing the minds of mathematicians, it attracted a large number of reporters and news media to Jingzhou City.

They all gave up their interviews and reports on the International Congress of Mathematicians.

In fact, this situation is easy to understand. What the media needs most is undoubtedly news.

The International Congress of Mathematicians has been held in many circles, and the one that attracts the most attention is the awarding of the Fields Medal. It is simply impossible to break the circle and attract more people to pay attention.

But it's different here in Jingzhou City.

With such a big gimmick as the Riemann Hypothesis, even people who don’t know much about mathematics will click in to see what’s going on.

If the Riemann Hypothesis is indeed proven, news reports will definitely cause a global sensation.

The heat can be imagined.

Even if it proves to be a failure, there will still be a lot of news to write about.

No matter how you look at it, it has more themes than the International Congress of Mathematicians.

Those overseas media are not fools. They definitely know what is in their own best interests.

However, the result of this is that in addition to no mathematicians participating in the International Congress of Mathematicians, there are also very few media reporters on site.

If some uninformed outsiders saw it, they might think it was some city's own event.

Of course, there are still many mathematicians who stand on the side of the International Mathematical Union.

They have the same point of view and do not think Xu Yun can prove the Riemann hypothesis.

Especially the mathematicians over at Neon.

In the past few years, because Xu Yun proved Goldbach's conjecture, the Neon mathematics community was punished by the alliance, resulting in a significant decline in the status of the Neon mathematics community.

Now he finally found an opportunity to suppress Xu Yun openly and at the same time to please the alliance.

Naturally, it takes a lot of hard work to do it.

Some people even directly output their opinions on platforms such as Twitter.

Analyze from various angles why it is impossible for Xu Yun to prove the Riemann hypothesis.

And discourage others from falling for scams.

Most people have no access to mathematics with doorframes. In addition, the Riemann Hypothesis is quite famous, which makes many people feel that Xu Yun cannot truly prove the Riemann Hypothesis.

So much so that in the end there was friction with supporters, who all commented and debated with each other.

Mainly for more people, who don't want to see the Riemann Hypothesis actually proven to solve this difficult mathematical problem.

If others say there is little hope, that's fine, but Xu Yun has great hope.

After all, Xu Yun is the first person to solve two world mathematical problems alone.

"The Riemann Hypothesis is recognized by academic circles as the problem of the century on Mount Everest. If it could be proved, it would not have to be delayed until now. When I saw it, there was no proof process at all."

"It's probably perjury. There will definitely be big loopholes. It's hard to believe it can be solved."

"Don't forget who proved Hodge's conjecture and Goldbach's conjecture. Your jaws will be shocked in a few days."

"I would quite like to see the Riemann hypothesis proven."

"The Riemann hypothesis is very special, and the topological group theory created by Professor Xu has no place at all."

"It mainly involves quantum mechanics. I'm afraid it will take a long time to study it thoroughly."

"If it hadn't been proven, I don't think Professor Xu would choose to make the proof process public and accept everyone's arguments and doubts."

"No matter what the final result is, everyone just waits. Anyway, this year's International Congress of Mathematicians is completely gone."

Time passed day by day, and just the day before the exchange meeting officially started, Xu Yun was still conducting the final proof process demonstration.

Make sure nothing goes wrong.

"Isn't Xu Yun over yet? The exchange meeting will begin tomorrow."

July 4, 2022, Jingzhou City, Institute for Advanced Study of Mathematics, Peking University.

Qin Xiangxin stood outside Xu Yun's studio, with a look of anxiety on his face for the first time in these days.

At present, mathematicians from all over the world have arrived in Jingzhou and are staying in the arranged hotels, waiting to start the exchange meeting tomorrow to see the proof process of the Riemann Hypothesis.

Under this situation, Xu Yun still hadn't finished his argument, and it was difficult to calm down.

If there are errors in the argument or problems with the process steps, it will definitely not end successfully tomorrow.

When Xu Yun proposed to hold an exchange meeting in the name of the institute and to prove the Riemann hypothesis within a few months, Qin Xiangxin thought Xu Yun was joking.

No matter how much you think about it, it is something that cannot be accomplished.

It was only out of his understanding and trust of Xu Yun that he finally convinced Yuan Chengming to do this.

Facts have proved that Xu Yun did not disappoint, and basically everything he said before was accomplished smoothly.

For example, he completed the proof process of the Riemann Hypothesis and successfully snatched world-renowned mathematicians from the International Congress of Mathematicians.

We're just short of the final argument, so we definitely don't want problems to arise.

At the same time, Zhang Yitang, who was also waiting nearby, looked much more relaxed than Qin Xiangxin.

"Don't worry, Dean, I think there should be no problem with Professor Xu's certification process."

As Zhang Yitang finished speaking, Qin Xiangxin turned his eyes and nodded in response.

"I hope so."

But he didn't notice Zhang Yitang's eyes full of envy.

After Xu Yun completed the entire proof process, he just had the opportunity to watch it in advance.

Although there was not enough time to demonstrate, it gave him a very rigorous feeling that he could not find any faults, as if this was the proof of the Riemann hypothesis.

Especially the quantum mechanics involved in it made him discover a new world.

He even had the idea of ​​studying quantum mechanics in his mind.

Considering that he was over 50 years old and was lucky enough to prove twin prime numbers, compared with Xu Yun, it can be said that he really has no talent in mathematics.

It is said that he is a late bloomer, but in reality he is nothing compared to a true genius.

After all, no matter what field you are in, age is your biggest advantage.

Therefore, he was very confident in Xu Yun and believed that Xu Yun's proof process would definitely pass the argument.

As time passed like this, the two of them gradually became bored waiting outside. Qin Xiangxin thought of something in his mind, and then he took the initiative to strike up a conversation.

"By the way, Professor Zhang, you should have been helping to teach Xu Yun's two graduate students during this period, right?"

"What do you think of them?"

When Zhang Yitang heard Qin Xiangxin mention Li Youzhi and Zhang Yang, a look of relief suddenly appeared on his face.

He immediately gave his own evaluation.

"The two graduate students recruited by Professor Xu are indeed good. They are both talented in mathematics. Although they are not as good as Professor Xu, they are already better than many others."

"Especially this time, Professor Xu also exposed them to the certification process, which is a rare opportunity for them to grow."

As Zhang Yitang finished speaking, Qin Xiangxin's face quickly filled with a visible smile.

Obviously very happy with the result.

The Higher Academy finally has fresh blood. When Xu Yun becomes an academician and takes over other projects, at least the Institute for Advanced Study in Mathematics will not be left without projects.

"that's great."

Just as he was sighing with emotion, the door of the studio suddenly opened from the inside.

It immediately attracted the attention of Qin Xiangxin and Zhang Yitang.

He quickly cast his gaze to observe, and happened to see Xu Yun walking out refreshed.

Behind them were Li Youzhi and Zhang Yang.

Judging from the uncontrollable smile on his expression, it is obvious that this verification should go very smoothly.

At this time, Qin Xiangxin didn't care about anything else and quickly asked: "How is the situation?"

"All the arguments are valid. I think tomorrow we can officially announce to the mathematical community that the Riemann hypothesis has been proven."

Seeing Qin Xiangxin's eager expression, Xu Yun immediately answered without any hesitation.

In fact, he had long known that there could be no problems with the proof process of the Riemann Hypothesis.

Just to give an accurate response when others question it, a systematic verification was carried out.

The results did not disappoint, and there were no mistakes in steps or formulas.

Although if the proof process is to be recognized by the academic community, it will take two years to conduct countless verifications, but it is nothing more than a formality.

"OK."

"Very good."

Finally getting the desired result from Xu Yun, Qin Xiangxin said two sentences in one breath, and the worries in his heart immediately disappeared.

Faced with this atmosphere, Li Youzhi and Zhang Yang were also extremely excited.

They didn't help much in the verification of the proof process, but being able to witness it all with Xu Yun can be regarded as an unsurpassed experience in his mathematical career.

Soon Qin Xiangxin stopped wasting time and immediately told Xu Yun: "Go and have a good rest first. Tomorrow is your home court."

For this Riemann Hypothesis, Xu Yun has really put a lot of effort during this period. Since everything is ready and he is just waiting to understand, he will not say anything more. He said hello to Qin Xiangxin and Zhang Yitang and left temporarily.

——

Due to the influx of a large number of mathematicians and media from all over the world, Jingzhou City is very lively.

Coupled with the attention and cooperation of various departments in the city, promotional posters for this exchange meeting can be seen almost everywhere, whether on buses or subways.

It is obviously an event initiated by the Institute for Advanced Mathematics at Kyongshu University, but the scope is no smaller than that of international competitions.

But as the saying goes, some people are happy and some are sad. At this moment, St. Petersburg, the venue of the International Congress of Mathematicians, seems a bit deserted. Except for the fact that it is difficult to see even slightly famous mathematicians, there are not even a few cameras in the venue.

It can be called the worst International Congress of Mathematicians ever.

This is because the International Mathematical Union deliberately canceled online participation and changed all participation to offline.

Otherwise the number of people on site would be even smaller.

"What a Princeton Institute for Advanced Study, how dare you deceive the Mathematical Union like this."

"Farke!"

After learning in the lounge that Delnie Witten and others had transferred to Jingzhou, Smith could no longer control the anger in his heart, and his whole face could be described as as gloomy as possible.

Originally, he was very happy when he heard that Delnie Witten and others, who were authorities in mathematics, were willing to participate in the International Congress of Mathematicians. He felt that someone was finally able to calm down the situation, but it didn't take long before something like this happened.

As the secretary-general of the alliance, he had encountered this kind of frustration.

Seeing that there was no point in holding this Mathematicians Conference anymore, he was also thinking about what to do to regain the lost face of the alliance.
