Chapter 75 Paper Submission
"Well, I'm quite interested in this area, so I read some books on it." Xu Chuan nodded and did not deny it.
"Then you proved it?"
Cai Peng asked curiously, and then felt a little ridiculous. He would actually ask an undergraduate student if he had proved the Weyl_Berry conjecture. This was really incredible.
Is it because the junior student in front of me looks handsome and reliable?
"That's not true."
Xu Chuan shook his head. He has only written out the core proof of the weak Weyl_Berry conjecture. He is still far from confirming the Weyl_Berry conjecture.
Somehow, after hearing the news, Cai Peng breathed a sigh of relief, as if a huge boulder weighing on his heart had fallen.
He himself felt a little strange. What was he worried about just now?
Is it possible that he is worried that after the junior student in front of him proves the Weyl_Berry conjecture, his graduation thesis and doctoral research goals will change?
How is this possible!
Cai Peng laughed dumbly, and was no longer embarrassed to stay any longer. He said goodbye to Xu Chuan and turned around to leave.
The previous thoughts of pretending to be beta are gone now, and I even feel a little ashamed and embarrassed.
An undergraduate who can study Weyl_Berry's conjecture in depth writes a proof process that he, a graduate student who is about to graduate, can't even understand. What kind of perversion is this? When did Nanda have such a monster again?
Fortunately, this junior student didn't know what he was thinking, otherwise he would have been cheated on instead of pretending to be a beta.
Cai Peng left, and Xu Chuan didn't care.
After sorting out the manuscript papers on the table, I stuffed them into my schoolbag along with my computer, and then got up to have dinner.
From coming here at around six o'clock in the morning to now at around six o'clock in the evening, in twelve hours, he drank a bottle of water and ate some biscuits. When he got up, he felt a little exhausted.
First, the concentrated research proves that the weak Weyl_Berry conjecture consumes a lot of energy and physical strength.
On the other hand, he had been hungry for so long and had not replenished his energy at all.
To be honest, if he continues like this, it is not surprising that sooner or later he will suffer from hypoglycemia due to hunger.
Those who engage in scientific research and academics still need to have a good body.
If you are in poor health, you may not be able to catch inspiration when it comes. Even if you catch it, you will probably have to lie down for a few days afterwards.
Although the cafeteria of Nanjing University is not as rich in variety as that of P University, it still has dishes from the eight major cuisines such as Hunan cuisine. I ordered fish head with chopped peppers and fried pork with peppers. After eating, Xu Chuan returned to his dormitory.
There are many advantages to a single dormitory. There is no electricity or water limit. There is a separate bathroom with a water heater and so on. There is no need to go to a large bathhouse to take a bath.
Strictly speaking, the dormitory he lives in is a double dormitory with separate bedrooms. However, the living room, bathroom, and washbasin are shared, but the school has not yet arranged another roommate for it.
This kind of accommodation is already among the best for students in universities, and even doctoral students may not have such treatment.
However, compared to ordinary dormitories, living alone is indeed a bit lonely.
But this is perfect for Xu Chuan.
The quiet environment allowed him to concentrate on studying mathematics and physics without worrying about the same thing happening in the library today.
After taking a shower and taking a short rest, Xu Chuan began to sort out the manuscript he wrote today, which is about the core proof of the weak Weyl_Berry conjecture.
Although he has almost written the core proof today, it will still take at least two or three days to completely perfect it into a paper.
The difficulty is not as great as the core proof, but the improvement process is quite tedious.
Not only do you need to carefully check every mathematical formula and derivation process, but you also need to pay attention to whether the cited documents and format titles, or even a comma or period, are used correctly. After spending more than two days, Xu Chuan finally perfected the core proof of the weak Weyl_Berry conjecture into a complete paper, then input it into the computer, converted it to PDF format and saved it.
Although submitting a paper does not necessarily require the author to convert the article to PDF, and many journals also accept documents in Word format, there is an advantage to converting to PDF, that is, you don’t have to worry about the paper format being disordered after submission.
Xu Chuan did not send this paper to Professor Zhou Hai and asked Professor Zhou Hai to help review it.
First, Professor Zhou Hai only had an ordinary teacher-student relationship with him. If it was a physics paper, he would definitely give it to Chen Zhengping for a look first.
The second is the proof of the weak Weyl_Berry conjecture, which in his opinion is not a big deal.
After all, it is a weakened form of conjecture, and there is still a big gap between it and the real Weyl_Berry conjecture.
If the Weyl_Berry conjecture can get around the T3 level, then the weak Weyl_Berry conjecture is almost as difficult as T5, which is the last level of the world class.
So it’s better not to disturb others.
After writing and processing the paper, the only thing left is to submit it.
Generally speaking, there are no requirements for paper version when submitting a paper. PDF version is acceptable, as is Word version. However, Xu Chuan prepared both copies to facilitate the journal editor to check whether the paper opened during the review process is correct.
As for which journal to submit your manuscript to, you have to think carefully about it.
The proof of the weak Weyl_Berry conjecture is definitely worth enough to be in the first area of SCI, so the journal object selected cannot be too weak.
The so-called SCI refers to the Science Citation Index, which is an international search publication created by the National Institute of Scientific Information.
As far as it is concerned, the most important function is to help scientific and technical personnel obtain the most needed literature information.
It is not a type of journal, but a search engine that can search for various papers and can be treated like Baidu and Google.
It's just that the search objects it targets are various papers. It can be regarded as Baidu Academic, but it is many times more advanced than Baidu Academic.
The so-called SCI papers refer to papers that are included in SCI and can be searched in it.
There are bad sentences in SCI, and four major areas should be deleted, namely Q1 area, Q2 area, Q3 area, and Q4 area, each accounting for 25%, mainly based on the impact factor of the published paper.
The Q1 area is the top 25% of journals with impact factors, and the Q4 area is the bottom 25% of journals.
The journals in Q1 area are of the highest quality, and the journals in Q4 area are of the lowest quality.
This is what the academic community calls SCI papers, first area, and second area when submitting papers.
After thinking about it, Xu Chuan chose "New Advances in Mathematics".
This journal is a top international mathematics journal. It was founded in 1961. The main journal is dedicated to publishing important breakthrough results in various fields of pure mathematics. The impact factor is also quite high. The proof of the weak Weyl_Berry conjecture cannot be more suitable.
As for whether the proof of the paper is correct, Xu Chuan is not worried.
Although it is a world-class mathematical conjecture, the difficulty is not very high compared to the papers he has published before.
He was worried that it would take a long time for the paper to be reviewed and published.
Xu Chuan knew very well the lazy character of Sun Never Sets, and hoped that his manuscript would not be delayed for a year and a half.
