Looking at Lu Zhou who was "indifferent", Wei Wen was slightly stunned.
[They are all gods... let's talk about business.]
As for why this arrangement was made, the reason is very simple.
After the paper was uploaded, in less than an hour, the number of visits to the official website of the International Congress of Mathematicians reached an unexpected peak, so much so that it almost shut down the server.
Although he had two black and blue circles under his eyes, Wei Wen's spirit was still high. I saw him checking the paper on the screen over and over again, not missing even a single punctuation mark, and repeating it at the same time.
This is a millennium problem!
Speaking of the more famous achievements in modern times, it is probably the Leray-Schauder topological degree theory of the French mathematician Leray, which was also one of his main contributions in winning the Wolf Prize in Mathematics in 1979.
Lu Zhou: "... Uh, yes."
In everyone's expectation, time passed day by day, and finally July 31st arrived.
Colleagues who were paying attention to this paper also waited for three full days.
…
"Professor, this is the NS equation!"
After all, it would be so embarrassing if you were slapped in the face as soon as you opened your mouth...
The 100-page paper is about the NS equation that has attracted much attention, and there is still time for questions from the audience. No matter from which perspective, one hour seems too limited.
Finally, in the second week after the paper was uploaded, the discussion about the NS equation completely exploded.
But for many, this world-class event has already begun...
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a thud, and Jericho's head hit the table. Within two seconds, there was thunderous snoring in the study.
Although tomorrow is the opening ceremony of the quadrennial International Congress of Mathematicians.
Until the day before the report meeting, he had enough time to revise the paper in detail. There was no need to compress all the work into this week.
The call was quickly connected, and a familiar voice came from the other end.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that Professor Fefferman created a discipline.
Lu Zhou coughed lightly: "I was really excited at first... But no matter what, it's impossible to be excited for three days, right?"
Looking at the enthusiastic Wei Wen, Lu Zhou said: "Don't tire yourself out. It's enough to check it first."
[I won’t say anything anymore, I’m going to Brazil at my own expense. I don’t travel or watch football, but I just want to touch Lu Shen up close. I don’t know if I have a chance...]
In fact, it is not even a branch discipline, it can only be regarded as a unique "research line of thought" or "research style".
It is not easy to finish a one-hundred-page paper in a short time.
[I can’t say with certainty that his proof process is correct. I can only say that I can’t find any obvious flaws at the moment. I will write a more professional blog later to analyze his paper and the research ideas... or methods he used in the paper.]
As for how to name this subject, Lu Zhou has not yet come up with a suitable name.
Wei Wen: "I'm free, what's the matter?"
…
[It’s useless even if the boss comes, Lu Shen’s paper is not something ordinary people can understand. Just today, our professor happened to mention it in class. It is said that the Qiu Chengtong Mathematics Research Center organized a seminar last week, convening professors from three research directions: partial differential equations, differential geometry, and topology. They studied his papers.]
Lu Zhou uploaded his paper three days later than expected.
Wei Wen: “…”
Of course, it would be better if someone is willing to do it for you.
"Thank you for your hard work... I'll treat you to dinner in two days. Now, go get some sleep."
[I just want to know if Lu Shen is a super god? Is there anyone from the mathematics department who can tell me?]
He put down the paper in his hand without finishing it, couldn't wait to turn on the computer, and updated his views on the paper on his personal blog.
Except for a few elementary school scumbags popping up from time to time and asking "How is the situation?", it didn't cause much trouble.
The research idea of "using topological methods to study partial differential equations" is not the first of its kind by Lu Zhou. It was first seen in Hilbert's paper. Later, this research idea can be seen in the research results of Brouwer, Banach and others. shadow.
However, the other one was just the opposite, indifferent to Lu Zhou's persuasion.
After watching Professor Fefferman leave, Lu Zhou took out his cell phone and called Wei Wen.
"Hello?"
Although he was also staying up late with them, he was used to staying up late after all, and his body's metabolic function had been strengthened to a certain extent. He was much stronger than these two rookies in terms of endurance and recovery ability.
With the help of two students, Lu Zhou finally entered the paper into the computer and uploaded it to the official website.
Lu Zhou: "Are you free now?"
Coupled with the "L-manifold" which is almost unfamiliar to the entire mathematics community, even Tao Zhexuan, who is proficient in almost all mathematical directions, took two full days to read the paper thoroughly.
[He adopted an unconventional research idea and used the method of differential manifolds to build a bridge between partial differential equations and topology. This research idea is so clever that it reminds me of the paper on the fixed point theorem written by Mr. Brouwer that I read early on...]
This is the first time he has said this.
Perhaps when he has time in the future, he will consider compiling these theories and methods into a book. By that time, it will not be too late to consider how to name this emerging discipline.
[Of course, even if he succeeds with a high probability, I still have many questions I want to ask him. The NS equation is a very interesting problem, and it is also the problem that I have studied for the longest time. Unfortunately, I have not been able to completely solve it, but fortunately, the world will never lack geniuses who are smarter than me.]
Not only that, considering the importance of the Millennium Problem, IMU, after consultation with Lu Zhou, temporarily adjusted the one-hour report meeting originally scheduled on the first day of the opening ceremony to a special session on "NS Equations" the day before the opening ceremony. Form unfolds.
Why not
"I'll check it again, one last time!"
By selecting the "L manifold", Lu Zhou introduced the ideas of differential geometry and topology methods into the field of partial differential equations, and finally proved the existence and smoothness of the solution to the NS equation. It can be said that he not only perfected this theory , allowing it to rise from a "research style" to the level of a "method".
If it were him, let alone three days, a lifetime would not be enough...
[Fortunately, I bought my ticket on the 30th! I’m really looking forward to the end of the month:)]
[Pfft... There are still thousands of people. Another person even won the first prize in natural science and the students he taught were all in the top 1,000. Are you kidding me?]
Seeing the two students lying down completely exhausted, Lu Zhou felt a little embarrassed and said in an apologetic tone.
On the famous domestic Shuimu Forum, posts about "NS equations" were almost wiped out.
There is no way, even if it is a professional forum, the really awesome experts don't have that much time to fill in the forum.
[Take me upstairs.]
The talented people who can understand the paper are struggling to read the paper now, and the "big guys" who can't understand are afraid to talk casually until the situation becomes clear.
Seeing Lu Zhou who was completely unaware of the seriousness of the problem, Wei Wen couldn't help but remind him.
[Are there any results?]
The big guys in the eyes of the forum crowd are actually only slightly stronger than the average person.
[How do I know this? Even if the discussion comes up, I won't be notified. However, I jumped over the wall and read Tao Shen's blog on the Internet. This expert seemed to be very optimistic about Lu Shen's paper.]
After all, writing textbooks is a very tiring task. Not only does it require consulting a large amount of information, but you also have to consider the reader's acceptance. It is not only boring, but also lacks challenge. In contrast, he still enjoys the process of absorbing and creating knowledge.
As several of the more active experts in the academic world expressed their opinions on the paper, the heated discussion was like a long-brewing typhoon, sweeping through almost the entire mathematical community, crossing over, and even invading field of physics.
[The devil knows.]
However, even with these results, this method of "using topological methods to study partial differential equations" has not risen to the level of becoming an independent discipline.
…
"Aren't you excited at all?"
[Awesome! NS equation, Millennium Problem... If this is solved, it will be no problem to recruit thousands of people, right?]
After receiving Lu Zhou's call, Wei Wen took Jericho to his villa without saying a word, and also brought his work computer.
Three whole days and three nights.
"No, I'm not tired!"
Without any more nonsense, Lu Zhouyan said concisely: "Come to my place. If Jericho is here, bring him with you. I have some manuscripts that need to be entered into the computer, and I need your help!"
In the days after the paper was uploaded, major professional mathematics forums were as silent as lakes.
Prior to this, Professor Fefferman had contacted the International Union of Mathematicians on his behalf to explain his situation. After hearing the inside story of the matter, the International Union of Mathematicians also graciously extended the submission time by one week.
