The top student must be diligent

He could only sigh.

Professor Zhang, why do you have to write papers yourself?

Wouldn't it be better to hand it over to Xiao Yi?

This way everyone will feel comfortable and benefit the mathematics community.

The two things that mathematicians hate the most.

First, when reading a paper, they find that the author uses special words such as "notice" and "obvious" to simplify the proof; second, they don't let themselves use these words to write papers.

It can be called a mathematical cancer.

Here I would like to mention Riemann. The paper in which this guy proposed the Riemann hypothesis was only 8 pages long, and there were a lot of simplified proofs in these 8 pages. Even to this day, these simplified proofs have not been fully interpreted by the mathematics community.

It can also be regarded as the number one cancer in the mathematical paper community.

In the end, Tao Zhexuan could only hope in his heart that Xiao Yi would not be led astray by Zhang Yitang.

Of course, there are some very exciting methods in the paper.

In particular, there is a step that uses Xiao's expansion to apply the circle method to the study of the problem. This step can be regarded as the most outstanding method in the entire paper.

Tao Zhexuan could guess at a glance that this method must have been developed by Xiao Yi. He is probably the only one in the world who can use Xiao's expansion so flexibly.

Of course, this is also confirmed in the paper.

Although Zhang Yitang and Xiao Yi initially named this method directly as the circle method expansion, later in the process of Zhang Yitang's paper sorting, he probably considered that this method was thought up by Xiao Yi, so he directly named it as Xiao's circle method expansion in the paper to let the mathematical community know that this important method was developed by Xiao Yi.

"It's a pity. If Xiao Yi could also come up with some of these methods in the study of the n^2+1 prime number problem, our progress might be much better."

Thinking of this, Tao Zhexuan laughed and shook his head again.

This method, how could it be so easy to come up with.

The phone suddenly rang, and it was James Maynard calling.

After the call was connected, Maynard's exaggerated voice came from the microphone.

"Terrence, have you read that paper? It's the paper where Zhang Yitang and Xiao Yi proved Siegel's zero-point conjecture."

"I remember that Xiao Yi just went to Zhang Yitang's place not long ago. How come they are so fast..."

Tao said helplessly: "You have been with Xiao Yi for so long, haven't you gotten used to it? Isn't this a very normal thing?"

Maynard was silent for a moment, and finally said: "Are you used to it?"

"Uh..." Tao Zhexuan paused, and finally said honestly: "Me neither."

"Isn't that right! Can you really get used to this kind of thing?! I feel like every time I challenge my acceptance limit." Maynard said: "But then again, this paper seems to be written by Zhang Yitang. I really don't understand why Why don't you let Xiao Yi write it? The paper he wrote is really..."

"It looks a bit tiring."

Tao laughed and said, "Okay, okay, you don't even look at your own paper, and you still have the nerve to talk about Professor Zhang."

"You are reading Xiao Yi's paper, I see you are used to it."

Maynard laughed and asked, "But have you contacted Xiao Yi? I just called him but he said he is out of service."

Tao was stunned and said, "Out of service?"

After thinking for a moment, he finally said, "Maybe they have boarded the plane back to China."

...

In the next few hours, the news about the proof of the Landau-Siegel zero conjecture has spread throughout the mathematical community.

The various innovative mathematical methods that appeared in it also received amazement from the mathematical community. The circle expansion, a new technology developed by Xiao's expansion, has been discovered by many mathematicians.

Scholars in the field of analytic number theory will soon be able to see that this method may be of great use in solving problems in certain fields of number theory.

Of course, all methods are good methods. As for whether the zero-point conjecture has been proved, it remains to be verified.

However, in addition to the need to verify whether the proof is correct, there is another problem...

The various proofs in this paper are simple, which makes the mathematics community a little headache.

Just like Tao Zhexuan and Maynard, the mathematics community has become accustomed to the details and rigor of Xiao Yi's papers. As a result, when the author has Xiao Yi, he has come up with such a paper. Although its writing style conforms to the mainstream of the mathematics community, it has still been complained by many scholars.

For example, Zhang Yitang's old friends began to call him, wanting to ask him why he wrote the paper himself instead of letting Xiao Yi write it.

As a result, they found that Zhang Yitang could not be contacted again. After asking, they learned from Joey Ayton that Zhang Yitang and Xiao Yi would spend more than ten hours on the plane, so they would definitely not know what happened in the mathematics community for the time being.

So, they could only leave messages under Zhang Yitang's social platform accounts.

Well, I must use this method to let Xiao Yi know not to learn bad things from Zhang Yitang.

In this way, time passed quickly.

…

At noon on February 10, a large international flight landed smoothly on the runway of Shangjing International Airport.

On the plane, while waiting for the cabin door to open, people also took out their mobile phones, turned off airplane mode, and contacted their relatives and friends.

In a certain row of seats, there was an old man and a young man sitting.

It was Zhang Yitang and Xiao Yi.

Zhang Yitang also took out his mobile phone and started reading.

Yesterday, after they released the paper, they went to the airport and boarded the plane back home not long after.

I haven’t seen the reaction of the mathematics community to their paper for such a long time, but now I can finally read it.

Zhang Yitang has begun to look forward to the congratulations sent to him by friends and colleagues.

After all, being a human being is bound to be vulgar. Who wouldn’t look forward to moments like this?

However, when a bunch of notifications popped up, he was stunned.

How is this going?

Why are so many people asking him why he wants to write a paper?

He was a little confused. Where were the expected congratulations and congratulations?

A little confused, he clicked on his Facebook, looked at it, and then his face turned dark.

I saw a lot of comments there.

Peter Sarnak: [Professor Zhang, it’s not me who said that it’s better not to do things like writing papers yourself. Let’s save some time. 】

Tao Zhexuan: [Yitang, the paper is very good, don’t write it next time. 】

Ivanets: [In the future, it is better to leave thesis writing to young people, such as Xiao Yi. The thesis you wrote looks too tiring. 】

Goldstone: [Professor Zhang, although I can probably understand your mood when you were writing the paper. After all, we all know that you have been studying the zero-point conjecture for many years, but, there are so many proofs in your paper that are simplified. this is not good. 】

【……】

What the hell, you old guys have the nerve to talk about me?

Everyone is half-aware, and the paper I wrote is at least more detailed than what you wrote. Otherwise, the original paper "Bounded Gaps Between Prime Numbers" would not have only taken three days from submission to "Annals of Mathematics" to being accepted. weeks.

Suddenly, Zhang Yitang was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. He immediately called up the input method and started keying.

fighting!

Xiao Yi, who was standing next to him, could faintly feel that Professor Zhang behind him was in a bad mood. What happened?

But at this time, he also took out his mobile phone and paid a little attention to things in the mathematical world, and then the corner of his eye twitched.

Not to the point of not to the point of...

He didn't seem to have any problems with the paper. He wrote it quite clearly and it was not much different from other papers.

Glancing to the side cautiously, it was no wonder that Professor Zhang was frowning.

At this time, the plane's cabin finally opened and passengers began to disembark.

Zhang Yitang finally put away his phone, turned to Xiao Yi and said, "Let's get off the plane."

Xiao Yi finally asked: "Is Professor Zhang okay?"

Zhang Yitang was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and waved his hands: "Hey, it's nothing, it's just those guys who have nothing to do."

"I see, they are just jealous that I can cooperate with you and achieve results. I will definitely scold them later."

"Bah, do you really think that I, Lao Zhang, am easy to bully?"

Seeing him say this, Xiao Yi was even more confused about whether to laugh or cry.

Okay, then he'll be relieved.

Otherwise, he would really have to worry about Zhang Yitang's mood.

After picking up their luggage, they began to get off the plane in an orderly manner.

Finally, after walking a long way out of the station, they stood outside the airport. Friendly faces kept coming into view, as well as the familiar Chinese on the signs and the hometown dialect spoken by people around them. .

Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes.

Finally back!
