The history of the twin prime conjecture can be traced back to the 18th century. The French mathematician Rambrandt-Pierre Bernoulli first proposed this conjecture in a letter in 1742. Since then, it has been used by mathematicians in the mathematics world. People have been discussing it heatedly and trying to figure out the answer to this question, but because this problem is so difficult, no progress has been made even after more than two hundred years.

But with the end of this report, this problem that spans more than 200 years of history has finally been proved today, turning from a conjecture into a theorem.

Academician Huang Yuan from the Institute of Mathematics and Systems Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences said: "The status of the twin prime conjecture in the mathematics world is similar to that of the familiar Goldbach conjecture. They are both top problems in the field of number theory in mathematics. Even if A breakthrough was achieved in the research on this issue, which is a very important event, just like Mr. Chen Jingrun’s important results on Goldbach’s conjecture in the last century. Even until now, Mr. Chen Jingrun’s The results are still very advanced in terms of Goldbach’s conjecture.”

"And Xiao Yi is not just a breakthrough, he directly solved this problem, which is too exaggerated. His proof can also be regarded as a milestone event for the mathematics community."

"In the past, if we wanted to prove the twin prime conjecture, we needed to use a mathematical theory called the sieve method. However, there was a very important problem in the sieve method, called the parity problem. This problem prevented us from proving the twin prime conjecture. , but is there any good solution to this problem in the mathematical community?”

"But Xiao Yi used a very wonderful method to suppress the impact of the parity problem to a very small level, and finally completed this proof."

Scholar Huang Yuan commented: “In short, Xiao Yi’s entire method is innovative and transcends the common thinking in the mathematical community. The theory he created and the results it produced are gratifying to the mathematical community. , and the way of thinking he demonstrated in this process should be learned by the mathematics community.”

...]

The Central News issued a long press release, giving a very detailed report on the entire incident. It can be said that even ordinary people who do not understand mathematics at all can roughly understand what an amazing thing Xiao Yi has done. Incredible results come out.

As a result, in less than an hour after it was posted, the number of comments, likes, and reposts reached an extremely high level.

[Oh my god, the twin prime conjecture has actually been proven? When I saw this news a month ago, I thought it was a bit exaggerated, but now you tell me it is true? 】

[Xiao Shen: Let me ask, who else? ! ! 】

[Twin prime conjecture, in addition to Goldbach's conjecture, is another pearl in the crown of number theory. Xiao Shen's strength is unfathomable. Now I am very much looking forward to what problems he can solve in the future! 】

[I was studying for a Ph.D. in the Department of Mathematics at Beijing University. There is a saying in mathematics that number theory is a game for geniuses, but I think Xiao Shen will be able to clear this game in the future. 】

[Those people in the Civil Science Bar will not be able to sleep, they will lack a research field from now on # Laughing]

[If you don’t understand, just ask, what is Minkeba? 】

[Minke is the abbreviation of folk scientists. Although there are normal people among them, most of them are not human, because there are more than a dozen methods to prove Goldbach’s conjecture or the twin prime conjecture every year. You If you tell them that they are wrong, they will still be angry with you.

Well, to put it simply, they are a group of self-important clowns who feel jealous and excluded by society. Minke Bar is where these clowns gather. 】

[More than a dozen? One hundred kinds! 】

[Why does it sound funny? 】

[Xiao Shen is so handsome! Look at this photo of him bowing at the end of the report. It’s so elegant! (Click to view the picture)]

[Elegance, so elegant! 】

[I’ll go and ask for the original picture! This will be my wallpaper from now on, inspiring me to learn from Xiao Shen every day! 】

[This was taken at the scene by @ Mathematical Events. You can take a look. He took many photos and they are all very handsome! 】

This comment immediately attracted many netizens to click on the Weibo account of major mathematics and physics events, and found a Weibo post he had just posted, in which he posted many photos and a video. In the video, the report meeting was about to end. time video.

It has also attracted thousands of likes, comments and reposts.

【Decided! From now on, Xiao Shen will be my male god! 】

[Although I am a male and my sexual orientation is normal, Xiao Shen just proved the twin prime conjecture! 】

[I want to give birth to a monkey for Xiao Shen! 】

【……】

The entire Chinese Internet has become agitated because of this incident.

Of course, the main reason is that Xiao Yi is the genius of China!

Every Chinese is deeply proud of this.

Naturally, when Chinese people are proud, people abroad also express envy and jealousy.

On YouTube, someone has also uploaded relevant videos of the report meeting.

The following has already aroused heated discussions among many foreign netizens.

American netizen: [What an amazing genius! I think his talent is not weaker than Terence Tao or Schultz! 】

British netizens: [I can't believe that I can actually see the twin quality conjecture being proved. Am I really not dreaming? ]

French netizens: [Tao Zhexuan, Zhang Yitang, Xiao Yi, they all have Chinese ancestry. Are people of Chinese ancestry so good at number theory? ]

Japanese netizens: [The empire's peerless genius, only appears once in a thousand years. ]

Korean netizens: [I think he actually looks like us Koreans. ]

Chinese netizens: [Like your mother's head]

In addition to YouTube, the discussion on Twitter, Facebook and other software is also much hotter than before.

And major media around the world have also released news one after another. Similarly, within the scientific community, not only the mathematical community, but also expressed great concern.

For example, the two most famous journals in the scientific community, Science and Nature, have released this big news on their official website homepages.

Generally speaking, Science and Nature have never paid much attention to the achievements in the field of mathematics. After all, the number of citations in the field of mathematics is generally very low. The number of citations in other disciplines is almost equivalent to a legendary paper in mathematics.

For those with high emotional intelligence, mathematics is relatively high-end, few people are studying it, and it is difficult to understand. They, Science and Nature, will not bother to stick to the cold buttocks.

For those with low emotional intelligence, they just look down on it.

However, now facing such a major achievement as the proof of the twin prime conjecture, Science and Nature are also willing to stick to this cold buttocks.

“Hmm… This ham croissant is delicious!”

The banquet scene of the Princeton Mathematics Annual Conference.

Xiao Yi picked up a piece of ham croissant on the plate, tasted it a little, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Directly perform a croissant with one hand and three mouthfuls, so delicious.

After the report meeting, the banquet was ready. According to Princeton, the banquet here will continue as long as the annual meeting is not over.

It is indeed Princeton, and it is indeed rich and powerful!

At this time, someone suddenly shouted to him: "God Xiao!"

Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows, Chinese?

Turning his head, he saw two Chinese faces walking towards him.

The two people were Guo Xiaoming and Wen Chenghua. They came up excitedly and said, "Xiao Shen, I finally meet you!"

"I finally succeeded in chasing stars!"

"Hello." Xiao Yi nodded and asked curiously, "Are you studying abroad at Princeton University?"

Guo Xiaoming said, "I'm not, but this guy is. His name is Wen Chenghua. He is studying for a doctorate at Princeton. His supervisor is Andrei Okunkov, a Fields Medal winner."

Xiao Yi thought for a while, and then his eyes lit up: "Oh! I remember that Professor Okunkov sent me an email before, specifically mentioning this matter!"

"What? My supervisor also sent you an email?" Wen Chenghua was immediately surprised.

"Yes." Xiao Yi nodded, picked up the milk next to him and took a sip, and the croissant he had just eaten immediately became soft and more in line with his taste.

After eating, he continued: "Professor Okunkov mainly thanked me for my Etale algebraic cluster self-restraint theory on your behalf, saying that you encountered a big problem in the topic of your graduation thesis and couldn't figure it out. He was also a little anxious. Now the problem should be solved, right?"

Wen Chenghua was immediately moved. He didn't expect that although Professor Okunkov was very irritable, he still cared about them behind the scenes.

He nodded and said, "Yes! The paper has been completed and published on arxiv. The title is "On the Observability of Gavaro Representations and Tate Conjectures". It is expected to be submitted to Duke."

Hearing this paper, Xiao Yi was stunned, and then clapped his hands and said, "I remembered that I read your paper last month! It's well written!"

Last month, because he had completed the proof of the twin prime conjecture, he became idle, so in addition to relaxing, he also casually found some papers on the Internet to read.

He happened to have read this paper. After all, it used his Etale algebraic cluster self-restraint theory and also involved the Tait conjecture.

The Tait conjecture is considered one of the seven major mathematical problems of the millennium. The arithmetic simulation of the Hodge conjecture is also very important in the mathematical world, and naturally it is also a mathematical problem that can interest Xiao Yi.

Wen Chenghua was immediately excited when he heard it, "You have also read my paper?!"

"Yeah."

Xiao Yi nodded, and then said: "The step where you used the Carlitz representation to separate the polynomials is very good."

"When there is an infinite loop, the Carlitz-cyclotomic extension has infinite branches at a suitable prime number, and you found a very good case, a branch with potential loops and loops everywhere."

"However, after this step, when you proved the case where p is greater than 0, have you ever considered replacing K with a finitely separable expansion, and then assuming that the geometric monotone group Hg does not have non-trivial properties, and S has an Fq rational point S, at which X has a good reduction?"

After hearing what Xiao Yi said, Wen Chenghua was confused.

Who am I?

Where am I?

Seeing Wen Chenghua's expression, Xiao Yi thought for a moment and said, "Well... I think I'd better write it down."

Then he put down the milk cup in his hand, took out a pen and a small note from his pocket, and began to write on it.

[w: HdR(X)(j)KC=HB(X)(j)QC...]

After a while, the small note was full, and then he handed it to Wen Chenghua.

Wen Chenghua took it and looked at it. After thinking carefully for a while, he immediately slapped his head.
