The top student must be diligent

[I can't believe that there are such humans in this world. Is he the proof that humans have completed evolution again after so many years? ]

[I suspect that the CIA is planning how to get a hair from this guy every day, so that they can clone thousands of Xiao Yi. ]

[One of this guy can do this. If there are thousands of him, I suspect he can rule the earth. ]

[I am a doctoral student in the Department of Mathematics at MIT. Today, our supervisor took us to watch the live broadcast of this guy's lecture. When we saw this scene, we were all shocked.

To be honest, including my supervisor, all of us were very surprised when we heard about the Wiles problem. We really didn't expect Wiles to find such a problem. At that time, we couldn't even think of where to start solving this problem. What we didn't expect was that Xiao Yi knew how to solve it so quickly. This is simply a god! ]

[Yes! I am from Berkeley, and many people in our mathematics department watched the live broadcast. Although we couldn't go to the scene, we had to watch such a historic report on the live broadcast. Then I was shocked by Xiao's proof. I was deeply shocked when I thought that he was only 25 years old this year. I am also only 25 years old!

In addition, I don't know if you have noticed that after he finished the proof, he just finished writing on the entire blackboard. To be honest, I now even suspect that he actually knew how much to write for each step in the next step, so he was able to make such a precise plan, but if he really thought about this before starting the proof, I can only say... He is an alien. 】

【When you say that, I feel bad. I also have such a feeling. Did he really think about the layout of the writing later? Doesn't this mean that before he started the proof, he had already thought about how many steps he would need to complete the proof? I bought fucking ! ! 】

【Okay, although you are all discussing Wiles' question, I admit that Xiao Yi did show a very good ability when answering this question... I mean, the kind of ability that is too abnormal. However, I am actually more interested in the question asked by Schultz, especially Xiao Yi's answer. To be honest, many people understand Xiao Yi's answer to Wiles' question, but very few people understand how Xiao Yi solves Schultz's problem. I estimate that among the many mathematicians present, not many people understand Xiao Yi's answer. To be honest, I didn't understand it either, so what I really want to know now is how Xiao Yi answered this question. 】

【Finally found someone like me! I am also very curious about this question. In Xiao Yi's answer, it seems that his proof has already explained Schultz's question, but his explanation exists in the whole paper, not in some individual steps, so it cannot be seen from those individual steps. You must read the entire paper to understand it clearly.

However, this requires you to be familiar with the contents of the more than 400 pages of the paper. However, apart from big guys like Schultz, how many people can understand so many pages of the paper so thoroughly! 】

【Fortunately, I am not studying pure mathematics, but applied mathematics, so I don’t have to master such proofs. However, I also have a suggestion for you, that is, don’t be too hard on yourself. If you don’t understand it, forget it. If you don’t understand this top theory at the first time, then you should reconcile with yourself. After all, there will be a second time and a third time later. Unless you want to use some new theories in Xiao Yi’s paper to publish a paper or something, then just ignore what I said.

However, having said that, the pure mathematics community will have many new papers because of Xiao Yi’s paper for a long time in the future, right? This is what I envy the most about you who study pure mathematics. With such an important new theory, it can bring inspiration to many people. It’s just that a few papers can be published casually! 】

【"Just casually", hey bro, this kind of words are not casual, this is not casual at all. If you are a big guy in applied mathematics and have published several top journals, then just ignore what I said, but if you are just a student, or a scholar with only a little achievement, then I advise you not to make such a conclusion easily, because not everyone can think of what topic to study next after reading Xiao Yi's paper. After all, that is the real frontier of mathematics, and most of us who study pure mathematics are still doing things from the last century, or even the century before. 】

【I agree with the brother above. Indeed, the new methods that Xiao Yi used to prove the Riemann hypothesis are all very cutting-edge and complex. It is a very difficult thing to use these new methods to produce results. I guess we have to wait until other math big guys interpret these new methods in more detail before we can use these theories. 】

【Hateful why I am not Xiao Yi! 】

【Because you are not an alien. 】

【……】

In addition to YouTube, you can also see related discussions on X, Facebook, and other places.

Internet users in every country, whether in the United States, France, Britain, or Japan, South Korea, India, etc., have people who pay great attention to this matter. British and American netizens lamented that they don’t have a mathematician like Xiao Yi now. French netizens think that Xiao Yi has inherited their French tradition of mathematics. Japanese people lament that Xiao Yi is definitely an ultimate genius who only appears once in ten thousand years. Koreans are discussing how much Korean blood is contained in Xiao Yi. Indians said that although Xiao Yi is very powerful, they still think their Ramanujan is more powerful.

Basically, people in every country have their own ideas.

Of course, these ideas are all happening internationally, and in China, that is the real national celebration.

With China’s current size, there are not so many things worth celebrating nationwide, just like the Olympics that used to be watched by the whole country, but now there are not so many people who care about it.

There are also things like rocket launches, and there are not so many Chinese people who care about them. Even the recent launch of Shenzhou No. 8 is estimated to not have so many people who know about it.

The only thing that has attracted national attention recently is probably the successful nuclear fusion, and the protagonist of this event is also Xiao Yi.

Today, the report on the Riemann hypothesis has still attracted the attention and celebration of the people across the country, especially after the report ended, the related popularity has exploded.

After all, this time it was their mathematician who defeated so many foreign mathematicians alone, and at the same time, the process of the report made them even more amazed.

For a time, no matter where, on the computer or on TV, you can see this event, including the news channels of various satellite TV stations, which have also reported on this event. As for Anhui Satellite TV, it has reported on this event in an all-round way. On its website, it has even opened a special branch line to broadcast the entire report.

As for the local TV station in Fei City, it is even more straightforward than Anhui Satellite TV. Anhui Satellite TV just made a full live broadcast on the website, while Fei City TV directly broadcast the event on TV. As for other programs, they have all been terminated by them.

The news that night also reported on this incident, including an interview with Xiao Yi after the report.

This interview was scheduled with Xiao Yi a long time ago, and they were waiting for the report to end to talk to Xiao Yi about his thoughts on the report.

In this interview, Xiao Yi also answered many questions that netizens were interested in.

"Professor Xiao Yi, according to what you mentioned in your report, you thought of new steps in the amusement park. We want to learn more about what your specific ideas were that inspired you to do so?"

In response to the reporter's question, Xiao Yi replied: "There is no specific idea. Just like what I said in my report, geometry exists everywhere in the universe, so if you observe the surrounding environment carefully, you will naturally be able to generate some related inspiration."

He laughed and said: "Mathematics is basically like this. Sometimes inspiration comes suddenly."

The reporter couldn't help but sighed: "But if it is the inspiration of the Riemann hypothesis, probably It's not that easy, right? "

Xiao Yi spread his hands: "Maybe."

The reporter smiled and then asked the next question: "Then the second question, as far as I know, many people in the mathematics community are very curious. Not only did you discover a new tool like the generalized modular curve, but you also found two auxiliary tools, the Shimura cluster and the Siegel modular form. So people want to know how you found these two auxiliary tools? According to what you said in your report, did you directly think of using these two tools? "

Hearing this question, Xiao Yi's face showed some confusion, as if he was confused about asking this question.

Then he answered: "This should be easy to think of, right? Think about the subsequent steps, and then consider the properties and forms of the generalized modular curve. It shouldn't be difficult to think of this. "

The reporter immediately gave a thumbs up.

"Awesome!"

The reporter seemed to have imagined that when their interview was released, it would bring a huge shock to those who were concerned about this issue.

After all, at the beginning, people thought that Xiao Yi must have spent some time thinking before he could come up with these two new tools. But now it seems that he thought of them right from the beginning!

This is simply out of the blue!

The reporter calmed down a little, and then continued to ask: "Then, I will continue to ask a question similar to this one. That is, when Professor Xiao answered Professor Wiles' question at the end, we all saw that you thought about it for a few minutes after hearing the question and then started to answer it. However, according to the reactions given by other mathematicians, the question asked by Professor Wiles was quite difficult, and it was incredible to answer it in such a short time."

"However, based on what you said before you started answering the question, it seems that you didn't even think about how to answer this question in those few minutes. Instead, you were still thinking about how you thought about this question when you were proving the paper. Many of us are also very curious about this process. I hope you can give a more detailed explanation of this."

Hearing this question, Xiao Yi spread his hands. He knew that the reporter would definitely ask this question.

Then he said: "Yes, I was indeed recalling how I thought about this problem at the time."

"To be honest, as the author of this paper, I have a complete grasp of the proof process of the entire paper, that is to say, I have probably thought about almost all the questions they might ask. Let me briefly reveal that I have at least five questions that they might ask."

"That is why, at the beginning, I was recalling how I thought about Wiles's question at the beginning."

"Therefore, it cannot be said that I gave an answer to this question without thinking about it. My thinking process has been there for a long time. Of course, this is also due to Schultz's question."

The reporter breathed a sigh of relief and said: "So that's it, that is to say, you have already answered these questions before, and today you are just taking out the answers again."

"Well, that's not very accurate, because when I was considering these problems, I just thought about the solutions to these problems in my mind, so when I answered the questions today, I just thought about the original solutions. As for the derivation process, it was indeed deduced on the spot." Xiao Yi explained.

The reporter pulled the corner of his mouth.

No, brother, why are you getting more and more outrageous?

Chapter 296 Five more questions

"However, you said in your explanation just now that you have five more questions, which means you have already thought of seven questions in advance?"

Xiao Yi nodded and said, "Yes, that's about seven questions. As for some slightly simpler questions, they are not included, because I guess no one can ask these simpler questions."

The reporter nodded, and then asked curiously, "Then can you briefly introduce what the other five questions are?"

Xiao Yi: "Hmm... Let me recall."

"First, I used a result about the zero distribution of the Dirichlet L-function in the proof, that is, the Dirichlet The zeros of the L-function are either on the critical line or distributed in pairs on both sides of the critical line, which involves something in the generalized Riemann hypothesis, and the generalized Riemann hypothesis has not yet been proved, so this is a problem. "

"Second, I used a result of Deligne in the proof, that is, the L-function of the Weil hypersurface satisfies the Riemann hypothesis, and thus deduced that the non-trivial zeros of the Zeta function are all on the critical line, and here, I assumed that Deligne's result can be extended from the case where the characteristic is positive to the case where the characteristic is zero, but this extension is not self-evident, so this is also a possible point of questioning. "

"Third, in the process of analytically extending the Riemann Zeta function to the entire complex plane, I used the method of elliptic inverse analysis and introduced a new function class to achieve this extension, which I called the Y function in the paper. I proved that every Riemann Zeta function can be expressed as the product of two Y functions, and this Y function can be analytically extended to the entire complex plane. Through this decomposition, the singularity of the Riemann Zeta function at 1 can be avoided, thus achieving analytical extension on the entire complex plane. However, when defining the Y function, I used an inequality. In my proof, I simply explained that it can be obtained by a more complex estimate, so this is also a question that can be questioned. "

"The fourth one..."

Then, Xiao Yi talked about the other two questions separately.

The reporter was stunned.

After a long while, he asked, "If you can say it... it should mean that you should know how to solve these problems, right?"

Xiao Yi smiled and said, "Of course, if I didn't solve these problems, I wouldn't have published the paper."

"That's true." The reporter breathed a sigh of relief and said with emotion, "To be honest, listening to your description, I feel that each problem is more difficult to solve than the previous one, as if your proof seems to be riddled with holes."

"But what I want to know is why you don't solve these problems in the paper? Since you can think of it."

Xiao Yi just smiled and said, "Maybe it's because I think that if I write all these problems, my paper will not look very beautiful, right?"

"So that's it."

The reporter showed an expression of sudden enlightenment: "So this is what mathematicians call the feeling of a work of art?"

"Almost." Xiao Yi said.

"Okay, then the last question." The reporter nodded, and then asked: "Now that you have solved the Riemann hypothesis, what do you plan to study next? Will you continue to study more cutting-edge problems in mathematics, such as the new hypothesis you proposed at the end of the report, which is now named after your surname, called the Xiao hypothesis, or do you plan to study something different, such as physics, or material chemistry?"

Xiao Yi thought for a moment and said uncertainly: "Maybe none of these, but to study biomedicine?"

The reporter was stunned: "Do you still understand biomedicine?"

Xiao Yi smiled and said: "If you don't understand, you can learn. Maybe I can develop some drugs that can prolong human life?"

The reporter said: "Then Then the people of the world will surely be very grateful to you. "

Xiao Yi smiled and waved his hand, saying: "Other thanks are unnecessary. If I can really figure it out, the biggest role will probably be to help me see the world for a longer period of time."

"Maybe when I am old, I will no longer have the energy to study new problems. At that time, I can only watch young people constantly break through the achievements I have created, and then look forward to seeing more truths before I die."

The reporter said: "You are still very young. It is too early to say such things. You can create more miracles for mankind in the future."

Xiao Yi: "But we will eventually face such a day."

The reporter was speechless, then nodded.

And he couldn't help but feel emotional in his heart. Everyone will get old one day, even the super genius in front of him.

Humanity will eventually lose such a genius, and people generally believe that there will probably be no more to come.

In this way, the interview with CCTV ended and was on the news channel that night.

Many people also watched his interview, which immediately sparked discussions among netizens.
