Yan Yan: "How do you know? What if something happens to him inside and he needs help..."
The research on Goldbach's conjecture has basically taken up all of his energy, and Professor Deligne's training of him is basically a "free range" attitude to let it develop. Of course, if this were not the case, he would not be able to concentrate on solving the problem of the century called Goldbach's conjecture.
He was so engrossed in the research that when the last step was completed, he didn't realize when he fell asleep.
He didn't know much about mathematics, so he certainly didn't know what Lu Zhou was studying. However, based on his past experience, it was always difficult problems that could make Lu Zhou lock himself at home for several days.
On the first day of retreat, Lu Zhou spent the entire day collecting all the papers he could.
"have no idea."
Yan Yan frowned, and just when she was about to say something, the iron gate of the yard suddenly opened with a creak, and then the door not far away was pushed open with a bang.
Seeing Lu Zhou finally willing to go out, Wang Peng's heart moved. He flicked the cigarette butt into the trash can and asked subconsciously: "Did you get the certificate?"
That is, it is proved that when ε is infinitely small, there is no non-zero trivial point of the ζ function in the region of Re(s)≥1-ε!
This feeling of being completely immersed in the world of mathematics is so wonderful that it always makes people lose track of time...
Which one is important? !
All I can say is that there are gains and losses.
In this way, a week passed.
"...Do you know what I'm studying?"
He was already familiar with the content of the paper, and with Xiao Ai's help, it didn't take him much time.
After finishing the paper last night, I no longer know what time it was.
After checking the paper from beginning to end and confirming that there were no major problems with the format, Lu Zhou turned on his computer and sent it to the email address of the editorial department of "Annals of Mathematics".
His research results will take a big step forward in a research direction on the Riemann Hypothesis that has not made any progress for hundreds of years!
Yan Yan nodded affirmatively.
Damn it
"Pick up the car."
Wang Peng flicked the ash from the cigarette butt and made a helpless expression.
Sure enough, mathematics is his true calling.
Do you still need to record this
In addition to the earliest and easiest to solve Re (s) < 0 and Re (s) > 1, which can be easily solved, exclude Re (s) = 0 and Re (s) = 1. region, this took decades to achieve.
Wang Peng: "..."
Although the research idea was finally determined, solving the problem was not an easy task.
Ideas flowed out like spring water.
…
While Lu Zhou was enjoying himself in seclusion, many people outside were worried about him not going out.
That is, quasi-Riemann-hypothesis!
"The next step is to input the paper into the computer..."
Don't know what the hell it is? !
It's okay not to go out, but not answering the phone or contacting the outside world really makes those who care about him feel a little anxious.
On the third day of retreat, Lu Zhou spent two days quickly reading all these papers and summarizing the key points.
Lu Zhou smiled sheepishly, but in the end he couldn't hide his excited expression.
Upon hearing this, Wang Peng's eyes suddenly became serious, and he took out the car key with a flick of his right hand.
In order to help him understand this topic more deeply, Lu Zhou collected a large number of papers on this subject, and even dug out the electronic versions of academic works that Grothendieck had written to major publishers to remove them from the shelves, and found Describe the most original version of Etale's cohomology method and all the papers published by Professor Deligne during the period of proving the Weil conjecture.
He turned on the mobile phone that was thrown on the corner of the table and looked at it. To his surprise, more than a dozen missed calls and unread text messages popped up on the screen.
Lu Zhou should actually have read these documents while studying for his Ph.D., but unfortunately he was still working hard in the field of number theory at that time. Although he wanted to enter the field of algebraic geometry, he could not spare the time.
Seeing Lu Zhou walking towards the car, Yan Yan quickly stepped forward to stop him and said, "Wait a minute, you forgot that there is a physical examination today. I just made an appointment with you last week..."
Standing outside the villa, just when Wang Peng began to worry about whether the food in the refrigerator could last for Lu Zhou, Dr. Yan, who was responsible for Lu Zhou's health and safety, finally couldn't help it anymore and drove her car. An SUV came to my door in person.
Ignoring these things for the time being, Lu Zhou threw his phone aside, preparing to reply later, and then turned his attention to the pile of A4 papers on the table that was filled with writing.
Wearing the white coat she wore when working as a school nurse, she walked to the door of the courtyard. Looking at the closed iron gate, Yan Yan turned to Wang Peng, who was standing at the door smoking, and asked.
The moment this algebraic curve on a finite field is found, all the pieces are connected together, pointing to the exit of the maze...
"That's not necessary, I believe you," Lu Zhou sweated violently and coughed lightly before continuing, "... Put aside the physical examination for now. I will do it with you later. Now I have something more important to do. Go do it.”
"Is there such a thing?" Lu Zhou touched his head and couldn't remember.
"Because... I tried."
This feels great!
Lu Zhou glanced at Wang Peng, and then looked at Yan Yan unexpectedly. He was surprised for a moment, and then asked.
Wang Peng said "uh" and shook his head awkwardly but politely.
"Where to go?"
You are his bodyguard and driver!
The sun rises on the eighth day.
A full century has passed since the concept of critical zone was proposed.
"Why don't Professor Lu come out yet?"
Yan Yan: “…”
Yan Yan: “…”
"Want to listen to the phone recording?"
And it was the exclusion of these two areas that directly led to the subsequent proof of the prime number theorem.
After flicking the ashes from his cigarette, Wang Peng shook his head and said.
But this paper is different.
The last paper really had no publication value, so he just posted it on Arxiv.
Not caring about breakfast, Lu Zhou excitedly scanned the contents on the paper into the computer, edited and saved the electronic file.
And this problem has an imaginative name.
On the fifth day, combined with previous guesses about algebraic geometry methods and the rules summarized from previous research results, Lu Zhou cleverly selected an algebraic curve on a finite field as an aid to find the final answer. shortcut.
The two of them turned their attention to the door and saw Lu Zhou, wearing a gray windbreaker, quickly walking out of the house.
Wang Peng smiled and shook his head: "It's best not to do this, he will be angry."
Lu Zhou, who was sitting at the desk, stretched and yawned, sitting up straight from his chair.
"How about going in and taking a look?"
After being speechless for a while, Yan Yan, who stopped in front of the door, stretched her neck and looked into the yard, hesitated for a moment and then said.
