Volume 1: Student Life Chapter 361: One move, it’s the end!
While Pitt was printing the preprint, Deligne took the time to notify Professors Faltings and Langlands.
As the three reviewers of Cramer's conjecture, they are also the three most qualified reviewers of Annals of Mathematics.
At this time, everyone is waiting nervously for the preprint to be printed out.
Compared to electronic versions of papers on computers, they still prefer paper versions with the smell of ink.
After Pete printed out the preprint sent by Chen Zhou, he hurriedly sent it to Professor Deligne.
I didn't even dare to waste time stapleing it.
Deligne took the preprint and casually said, "You can also print a copy and take a look at it," and then he immersed himself in reading Chen Zhou's paper.
It is impossible for them to speak until they have watched it completely.
However, unlike these math giants.
There are many mathematics enthusiasts on the e-Print arXiv website.
Or you can affectionately call them folk scientists.
They don't care about that.
Everyone has spontaneously helped Chen Zhou promote his work.
Anyway, after taking a quick look at the preprint uploaded by Chen Zhou, they couldn't find any problems with it.
Since there is nothing wrong with it, it is correct.
This means that Chen Zhou won the competition between Tao Zhexuan and Zhang Yitang.
A well-known foreign mathematics forum.
The post above is flooded with posts about Chen Zhou proving the Jebov conjecture.
"Oh my god, Chen is simply God!"
"You are right. After all, he is a mathematician who is well versed in the language of God!"
“Who would have thought that Professors Terence Tao and Zhang Yitang, who were once in the lead, would still lose?”
"It's not like you didn't expect it, right?"
"Who could have thought of this? According to the previous rules, if Chen Zhou takes action, there must be a result!"
“Hahaha, I feel so sorry for Professor Tao and Professor Zhang! After all, once Boss Chen Zhou makes a move, it’s the end!”
"I wonder how Professor Tao Zhexuan and Professor Zhang Yitang feel right now?"
"I don't know how they feel, I only know that Chen has killed another golden goose that lays eggs! My doctoral thesis!!!"
"Hahaha, deep condolences to the big brother upstairs! Congratulations on winning the prize!"
“…”
Tao Zhexuan didn't know how Zhang Yitang felt, so he sent a lot of emails and made phone calls.
But Zhang Yitang could not be contacted.
His own mood wasn't very pretty anyway.
Although I wouldn't crumple up all the research materials in front of me into a ball.
But in the end, I still lost.
In fact, they were only one step away.
Moreover, to be honest, his cooperation with Zhang Yitang is far stronger than that with Chen Zhou.
Their starting point is not just based on Zhang Yitang's previous paper.
It is based on the distributed deconstruction method created by Chen Zhou.
His collaborative research with Zhang Yitang was just for the final push that was just around the corner.
It is far ahead of Chen Zhou's research which starts from scratch.
Even if Chen Zhou had the four lines of formulas presented at the MIT conference, it was still far behind the research progress of the two of them.
It's like running a hundred meters at the same time. He and Zhang Yitang have already reached a hundred meters, while Chen Zhou has only run about ten meters.
But the result is right in front of us.
They are at the end, the sleeping rabbit.
Chen Zhou had caught up step by step and successfully crossed the finish line.
As soon as the preprint uploaded by Chen Zhou was published, Tao printed out a copy himself.
Then I read it carefully.
Although there is a lot of key information hidden in it.
But he could truly feel that thought and the confidence when writing the paper.
Terence Tao was looking at the content of the twin prime conjecture that he and Zhang Yitang were researching together on the computer.
For a moment, I was actually a little confused.
In his office, the doctoral students he supervised looked at their professor without daring to breathe.
They all knew about this, but they didn't know how to comfort their professor.
At this time, Terence Tao's cell phone rang.
After taking a look at the caller ID, Tao Zhexuan frowned slightly.
The person who I couldn't contact for a long time actually called me.
After hesitating for a moment, Tao Zhexuan pressed the answer button.
"Professor Tao, I have a new idea !"
The voice on the other end sounded unusually excited.
Terence Tao didn't understand why this person was still so cheerful?
Doesn't he know that they have already lost the match with Chen Zhou?
Just as the comments online said, if Chen Zhou doesn’t take action, it’s fine, but once he does, it’s the end!
Chen Zhou is completely different from them. The preprint he published is the preprint of the final paper!
Instead, they advance step by step in small steps.
It's not the eggs laid by the golden hen.
That's a whole golden rooster!
Facing Tao's silence, Zhang Yitang paused for a moment, then said, "Professor Tao, I have sent you the relevant research materials via email. I believe that this time, we will be able to completely solve this guy!"
Tao hesitated, and finally sighed and said slowly: "He made a move, didn't you know?"
Zhang Yitang on the other end of the phone said in a serious tone without any hesitation: "I know, but you also have to know! We are not studying the twin prime conjecture for Chen Zhou or this competition, we are studying it for mathematics!"
Tao Zhexuan was stunned. He didn't expect Zhang Yitang to say such a thing.
When Zhang Yitang didn't reply to the email or answer the phone, all he thought about was the competition with Chen Zhou.
He thought that Zhang Yitang became extremely depressed because he heard the news and thought he had lost the game.
But the reality is not like that. Zhang Yitang is still full of fighting spirit and he is still concentrating on studying the twin prime conjecture.
Only then did Terence Tao realize what kind of person his partner was.
Perhaps only such a person could endure decades of loneliness and devote himself to studying the twin prime conjecture?
Only people like this will not change their original intentions because of external fame or disgrace, right?
In comparison, he, who became famous at a young age, is far inferior.
After calming down, Tao said, "Okay, I'll check my email right away! At least, we can't lose too much!"
Zhang Yitang smiled when he heard this: "Look first, I've already bought the plane ticket, I'll be here tomorrow!"
Tao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Looking forward to your arrival!"
After hanging up the phone, Tao Zhexuan shook his head and put all the complicated thoughts out of his mind.
At this moment, he hopes to solve the twin prime conjecture as soon as possible.
Their competition with Chen Zhou is not just a competition.
It was also two groups of people who launched a wave of attacks on the prime number interval problem.
At this time, Chen Zhou had already given the final answer to the Jebov conjecture.
The rest is his and Zhang Yitang's task.
That’s right, once Chen Zhou made a move, it was the end.
But what should be ended is the difficult problem that , not his heart for studying mathematics and the language of God.
