Chapter 186 Witness history or become a joke
Although Xu Qingzhou's lecture meeting ended, the scene was more lively than before. People coming out of the lecture hall gathered together in twos and threes, all discussing what had just happened.
"Do you understand the formula written by Xu Qingzhou?" the German young man asked his friend.
"As you know, I study the field of geometry." A young man shrugged and said, "But didn't those big guys just say that the sieve method, the asymptotic formula, and the twin prime number conjecture."
The German young man was a little excited: "I originally wanted to come here to see the excitement, but I didn't expect to see such a wonderful thing. I'm so lucky!"
Hearing this, a young man next to him smiled softly, "That's because you didn't come last year. Last year, the Norwegian mathematician brought a loudspeaker to promote that he had proved the Riemann Hypothesis."
The German young man looked curious: "Brother, tell me, what happened in the end?"
The young man smiled jokingly and asked, "Have you seen the news about who solved the Riemann Hypothesis?"
After that, he took the notebook and left.
"I promise, that was the most lively scene I have ever seen. The old gentleman was unwilling to leave and claimed that he was right."
Someone who knew it recalled, saying, "In the end, Mr. Simon Cartman personally found a blackboard and showed the old gentleman a counterexample."
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but laugh, and they could already imagine the scene.
Three Cambridge students also walked out with the crowd.
One person asked, "David, do you think this Asian guy can make it?"
The young man named "David" rolled his eyes and said, "You have to ask God about this kind of thing, so that He can predict it."
"The twin prime conjecture. If this person really proves it, Cambridge may have another cool legend."
After a pause, the tall and lanky young man next to him smiled again: "Perhaps, in the next year, we will not be short of jokes to chat with."
There is a saying among classmates at Cambridge University: There is no need to bend down, because the world has bowed for you.
Although this is just a small joke, you can still feel the arrogance of Cambridge from it.
However, whether it’s witnessing a historical moment or being a bargaining chip for multiple small talk, it’s all fun for them.
Outside the lecture hall, the Indian boy took a deep breath and felt that he was panicking. The Xia man who doubted him actually planned to prove the twin prime number conjecture.
No, no, no, there is no way he can succeed!
It is because he is also studying the twin prime conjecture that he understands how difficult it is to prove it.
At the very least, his own proof method was not shrewd. No matter how fancy it was, he had to admit that even if Xu Qingzhou did not question it, if he continued to advance, the chance of proving the twin prime conjecture would still be slim.
Although it is a bit unrealistic and is being crushed in all aspects, India has never given up competing with Xia for the right to speak in certain fields.
Even those who are engaged in mathematics will secretly know when they meet Xia. Competition.
It’s so uncomfortable to see people from Xia being in the limelight now.
Some people are sad and others are happy.
Academician Xu and Zhao Zhenglai were packing materials in a classroom and preparing to go to Carlisle College for a meeting. This type of lecture is like this. Many people hear what they want to hear, and after the seminar is over, they leave to do their own things.
Thinking of Xu Qingzhou's performance, Academician Xu sighed with emotion: "Our Peking University has produced another incredible genius. The future of Xia Guo's mathematics community is worth looking forward to."
In his opinion, regardless of whether Xu Qingzhou succeeds or not, his courage to challenge is worthy of recognition. As long as he continues, his future achievements will definitely be high.
"Yes, junior brother is really awesome." Zhao Zhenglai nodded.
Academician Xu glared at his student angrily, "Look at Xiao Xu, and then look at yourself. You know how to sneak into the bar all day long." "Teacher, you told me to balance work with rest."
Zhao Zhenglai expressed that he was a little unjust, and at the same time he felt sad. Since he started school, he has been what everyone calls "other people's children." Who would have thought that such a day would happen.
However, if the junior brother can really prove the twin prime number conjecture
it seems normal that he will be crushed.
Academician Xu: "You have to balance work and rest, and I don't let you go to the bar every day."
Zhao Zhenglai coughed lightly, changed the subject, and said, "Teacher, Dr. Nobbs is already waiting. Why don't we go there earlier?"
Sure enough, Academician Xu did not scold him anymore, but asked: "Did you bring the system construction data with you?"
"Don't worry, remember it."
In the huge lecture hall, Professor Maynard and several experts on prime numbers have not left yet. They are still discussing the formula that Xu Qingzhou left just now.
"It is indeed a formula for sieving." Professor Barzel said.
Professor Maynard stared at the blackboard, nodded slightly, and said, "Well, the Selberg sieve method has been improved and is perfect."
Professor Barzel sighed, "However, it is a pity that we cannot see the full content of the sieving method."
"Perhaps, it won't take long before we can see the complete process." Professor Maynard was not so entangled.
Professor Barzel smiled and asked: "Oh, you think he can succeed?"
In his more than 40 years of studying mathematics, he has seen too many such things. Unfortunately, 99.9% of the provers failed, and finally packed up and left in embarrassment amidst people's doubts and whistles.
"I'm looking forward to it," Professor Maynard said.
In the hotel, Xu Qingzhou sat at his desk and took out the manuscript paper from his bag. He wasted no time and planned to start the calculation again.
π(x)~L(s,\chi)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty
Since the growth rate of π2(x) cannot be obtained from this asymptotic formula, it is necessary to To adjust the product of , it is necessary to turn the product on the right side into a convergent quantity.
That is, find a product with a known asymptotic expansion.
It can be obtained through the matching method: 1-2\p= (1-1\9) 2-1\p
The next step is smooth, everything falls into place, and the clues that were originally empty and difficult to capture are already clearly visible, even if Even if he occasionally encounters obstacles in his calculations, he can quickly find the key points of the problem.
Xu Qingzhou, immersed in calculations, forgot about the passage of time. Complex formulas appeared on the paper one after another, building a ladder leading to mathematical truth.
Night falls, 10pm.
On the open-air balcony outside the lecture hall, Zhao Zhenglai hung up the phone, looked at Kathleen helplessly, and said, "I'm sorry, junior brother said that he was busy. It seems that we are the only ones going to drink by ourselves."
Kathleen shook her head and corrected: "No, you have to drink it yourself."
"Huh?" Zhao Zhenglai was stunned.
"You know, I'm more interested in Xu." Kathleen stood up and turned around after leaving these words.
"." Zhao Zhenglai was speechless, do you want to be so realistic?
