The top student must be diligent

Almost as soon as the news came in, it immediately spread across the country.

After all, quite a few Chinese people want to know whether their Xiao Shen can defeat the Prime Number Pioneer Project, a team composed of almost all top foreign mathematicians, in proving the Riemann Hypothesis.

1vsN itself is an exciting thing, not to mention, the problems to be faced are still problems such as the Riemann Hypothesis. This is a competition that truly challenges the pinnacle of human wisdom.

It is not comparable to any ordinary competition.

And now, their Xiao Shen seems to have won!

For a time, all domestic netizens began to get excited.

Various related online platforms are full of voices discussing this matter. As for the hot searches, they are already occupied by this matter.

【Wori! Real or fake? The Riemann Hypothesis was proved by Xiao Shen? 】

[Yes, it has been proven. You can see it by going directly to the website. There are five papers in total, all by Xiao Shen. I downloaded and read it again. Of course, I just read it once. It's impossible to understand. This thing is like a bible to me. 】

[No, what is this Riemann Hypothesis? Why is it that when I turn on my phone today, everyone is discussing this? 】

[No, buddy, are you from Mars? Don't you know this yet? You can’t even know Xiao Shen, right? 】

[To put it simply, it is Xiao Shen alone competing with a group of top foreign mathematicians to see who can first prove this mathematical problem called the Riemann Hypothesis. Then this Riemann Hypothesis is also extremely difficult and can be regarded as one of the top mathematicians in the world of mathematics. Finally, this conjecture is also known as the crown jewel of mathematics. This problem has existed in the mathematical world for hundreds of years, but it has never been proved by mathematicians. Now, our Xiao Shen has suddenly successfully proved that you Are you saying this is awesome? 】

【Awesome! 】

[I am here to say only three things: Xiao Shen is awesome! Xiao Shen is awesome! Xiao Shen is awesome! 】

[Xiao Shen is the real king of mathematics! 】

[The King of Mathematics is now obsolete. Xiao Shen should now be called the God of Mathematics! This is what everyone calls it now abroad. 】

[Okay, okay, God of Mathematics, that’s what he should be called]

[God is the name of foreigners, we should change it]

[Who told you that this is what foreigners call it? Do you know what Haotian God is? 】

[No, everyone, are you opening the champagne a little too early now? Whether Xiao Yi really proved successful, the mathematical community has not yet given a definite answer, right? It's not good to open the champagne too early. 】

[Then you are probably forgetting the problems that Xiao Shen proved before. When did you fail? 】

【Who are you? If you are Chinese, then what did Xiao Shen do to make you disrespect him so much that you are not even willing to call him Professor Xiao? 】

[I suspect this person is a netizen from northern China]

[The suspicion is reasonable, but it does not prevent him from being one of the 1.6 billion members. 】

[Don’t worry, after a few days, after the mathematical community has reached a conclusion, you will find yourself being slapped in the face. 】

【……】

People are full of confidence in Xiao Yi's proof. This is also due to Xiao Yi's previous results. No one will believe that he has published the paper and there will be errors.

Even if this paper wants to prove the Riemann Hypothesis.

As a result, in the next few days, there was a carnival-like scene on the domestic Internet.

Some netizens even made a wiki page specifically for this matter, which details all the background stories of the Riemann Hypothesis, as well as some related things.

Of course, the most important thing about this wiki page is that there is a vote, respectively for the Champagne Party and the Baosi Party.

The champagne party thinks that they can open champagne in advance to celebrate. As for the Baosi party, they think that there is a high probability of Baosi and don't believe that it can succeed.

Then in this voting, the total number of votes was close to 5,000. More than 99% of the votes were chosen by the Champagne Party. Only less than 1% of the votes felt that Xiao Yi's proof had failed. , there are still some votes that were chosen because of the wrong votes.

This vote has attracted the attention of many people, and some foreign netizens even learned about this website, and then clicked in and cast their own votes.

Of course, these things are basically done by the private sector.

As for the official, they have also expressed their position.

For example, Yangma also specifically broadcast this matter as an important news, and also included comments on this matter from some well-known domestic mathematicians.

For example, Academician Xi Lan, who is the president of the Chinese Mathematical Society, said: "The Riemann Hypothesis is the most important conjecture in mathematics. Once this proof is successful, thousands of propositions will become theorems in mathematics, and these theorems , will play a very important role in the future development of the mathematics community.”

"Similarly, if it can be proven successful, it will become one of the most important breakthroughs in mathematics in so many years, even more important than when Professor Xiao Yi proved the other two millennium problems."

"...This is a great achievement."

"... Although the success of Professor Xiao Yi's proof is still to be discussed, considering Professor Xiao Yi's many past achievements, his personal ability, and our trust in him, he will not fail in a high probability. Of course, the final result still needs to wait for the unanimous conclusion of the mathematics community."

"According to the information I have received so far, including the mathematicians of the Prime Number Pioneer Project, they are now looking at Professor Xiao Yi's paper. I believe that they will have results in a while."

...

In short, all people outside the mathematics circle can only wait for the results announced in the mathematics circle because they know nothing about mathematics.

And in the mathematics circle, most people are also waiting for the people at the top of the mathematics pyramid to announce the news.

Today's mathematics is like a pyramid. There is only one person standing at the top, that is, Xiao Yi.

And now he has completed the proof of the Riemann hypothesis, and then announced his proof, and began to wait for the top mathematicians at the level below him to interpret and verify it.

Then, after these top mathematicians have finished interpreting it, they can announce the verification results to the lower level.

In the end, the correctness of this result depends on the verification results of these top mathematicians.

In this way, another week has passed quietly.

...

Undoubtedly, the results this time came out very slowly, which is completely understandable.

Let alone the Riemann hypothesis, the length of nearly 400 pages is not something that can be read quickly.

However, in the face of the attention of many people in society, someone finally made a simple response.

This person is Terence Tao. As the first person to know the news, he is of course the first person to see the paper.

Now nearly ten days have passed. Because he is often active on the Internet, many people follow him, and naturally many people ask him questions like how Xiao Yi's paper is.

Although he has not finished reading it yet, the content he has read so far has already brought him a huge surprise.

So, he made a simple response to those who asked him on his personal blog.

【First of all, I want to state that I haven't finished reading all the papers. I have only roughly read three of them. There is still one paper left, which is the paper proving the Riemann hypothesis. But I must say that the three papers I have read now have brought me a huge shock.

It can be said that this is a work of art! It is a work of art belonging to mathematics. I don't know how Xiao Yi came up with it, but whether it is his proof logic or the methods he used, etc., they all hit my heart completely. Every time I see the various methods he uses to prove a lemma or construct a new function, I will feel wonderful.

Now I can basically be sure that Xiao Yi has been making progress, and his progress is also very amazing. I really can't imagine how much Xiao Yi's attainments in mathematics can reach when I am old.

Well, this is all I want to say this time, and you don't have to keep asking me. In fact, when I saw Xiao Yi's paper, I already believed that he succeeded, and now that I have finished reading three papers, I am even more sure of this.

Now, I'm going to read the last paper. I want to see how the Riemann hypothesis is proved! 】

As soon as this blog of Terence Tao was published, it immediately attracted countless attention.

After all, he is also the first top mathematician to respond to this matter.

And this blog basically shows that Xiao Yi's proof is very likely to be successful.

In particular, his praise for Xiao Yi's papers surprised people.

How well did Xiao Yi's papers write to make this Mozart in the mathematics world praise them so highly?

He even called these papers mathematical works of art?

For ordinary people, or anyone who is not at the level of Terence Tao, even a mathematics professor, can't understand what he means.

Of course, although they can't understand why Terence Tao called it a work of art, it doesn't affect their shock.

Even Terence Tao has recognized Xiao Yi's proof, although it is limited to the first three papers, but the first three papers have been confirmed, is there still one missing?

So netizens are boiling again.

Of course, except for Terence Tao, other mathematicians have basically read several papers, although most of them first browsed roughly to make sure there were no major errors, and then read them in detail later.

Then, these mathematicians also made some responses.

For example, Schultz, as a mathematician who is now active in the international mathematics community, browsed all four papers and finished reading them.

He said: [What I want to say is basically the same as what Terence Tao wants to say. Although I haven't finished reading some details yet, I also want to say that this is a work of art, a work of art belonging to mathematics. Although sometimes I really want to know whether Xiao Yi is still a human being, now, I am still very grateful that he can bring us such a paper. This is a great enjoyment for us! Thank you, Xiao Yi. ]

As one of the original initiators of the Prime Number Pioneer Project, Manuel Bhargava also made the same statement. He said it in front of reporters in an interview with a media.

"Unfortunately, the Prime Number Pioneer Project still lags behind Xiao Yi. Although we have already anticipated such a thing, Xiao Yi is the kind of unpredictable person. You will never think of the extent to which he can achieve it. , until he suddenly comes up with the results, you will suddenly realize that you have fallen too far behind. Xiao Yi has been like this for so many years. "

Then the reporter asked: "But there are so many mathematicians in the Prime Number Pioneer Project, why did Xiao Yi lead so quickly?"

Manuel just smiled and said: "When it comes to mathematical problems, we never follow the principle of strength in numbers."

"It is more about adhering to a reverse barrel principle. Well... I hope you can understand what I mean, which is the reverse barrel principle. That is to say, how much water this barrel can hold does not depend on It depends on the shortest board, but on the longest board. I think this is quite understandable. After all, the entire mathematical community follows this anti-barrel principle, including the entire academic world. exception."

"Therefore, although the Prime Number Pioneer Project has many top mathematicians, and these mathematicians can be called a very long wooden board in the mathematics world, Xiao Yi is the longest one."

"That's it."

Manuel nodded finally, as if he also agreed with his statement.

As a result, the reporter insisted on arguing with him: "But if Xiao Yi is just a wooden board, can it be turned into a barrel? You have so many mathematicians. Even if a single wooden board is not as long as Xiao Yi, it can at least form a wooden board. Well."

Manuel twitched the corners of his lips, and then said: "That means that Xiao Yi's board is not only long, but also very wide, so he can form a huge barrel by himself, unlike us, who can also form a large wooden barrel. It takes a lot of people to surround it, got it?”
