Two o'clock. .

A boat in a suit and a sneaker walked onto the podium. It was originally because of the confession and some noisy lecture halls.

No one maintains discipline, everyone is tacit, with a pair of eyes staring at the man on the podium, or doubting, or expecting, or expressionless.

If you change your personal, don't say that you are talking about math problems. You are staring at so many big eyes, I am afraid that your legs are soft.

However, Lu Zhou, standing on the podium, was calm and expressionless, and did not appear because of the pressure transmitted by the pair of sights.

I am prepared to do it, and I am already ready when I am under the stage.

What's more, he is not the first time to face this occasion.

"Thank you for coming to Princeton from all over the world and listening to me standing here to report on the research results of Goldbach's conjecture."

In accordance with established practice, I would like to express my gratitude to the scholars who have been invited to listen to the report. Lu Zhou began to state the process of his own report.

"The content of my speech will be divided into two parts, one is about the group structure I used to prove Goldbach's conjecture, and the other part is about the proof of Goldbach's conjecture."

"I believe that before I came here, I have already read my thesis. For the lengthy and cumbersome steps in the paper, I will give a brief explanation in the ppt. And my explanation will mainly focus on the key steps and ideas and ideas. aspect."

“In addition, I will leave as much time as possible in the questioning session.”

Pre-reading the reporter's paper before the beginning of the academic report is both a practice in the academic world and a necessary etiquette. If you are in the questioning session, the questions you ask to stand up are written in the paper, or are irrelevant, and will be considered a very rude and unremarkable thing.

For the big men here, this kind of problem naturally does not appear.

In the same way, those parts of the paper that have been written clearly are no longer necessary to get the ppt again. After all, everyone's time is precious, not a special trip to Princeton to watch the slides.

At the end of the opening remarks, Lu Zhou went straight to the topic.

"The so-called group construction method is the abbreviation of 'the whole structure research method of group theory'. The core idea is to use the concept of cyclic group to study the problem of infinity from the whole. Based on integer modulus p multiplication group is always a cyclic group. This theorem, we can get..."

As explained, Lu Zhou's laser pointer walked up the white curtain.

[...with a limit group g and g=p1a1p2a2piai, where pi is a prime number and ai is a positive integer. Let p∈π(g) define deg(p)={q∈π(g)p~q)

The number of times deg(p) is p. Redefine (g)=...]

Compared to the latter half of the proof of Goldbach's conjecture, the theory of group construction is more crucial, because only by understanding the content of this part, people who sit in the lecture hall to listen to him can understand that what he did What is the job?

Therefore, the content of this part, Lu Zhou's explanation is extraordinarily detailed, and every point is made clear as much as possible.

The people sitting under the stage, whether they are invited scholars or unsolicited students, are very serious.

In particular, James Maynard, sitting in the middle of the venue with his arms, listened with extra care.

The so-called peers are the family, and he is also the leader in the field of analytical number theory in the new generation of mathematicians in the UK. As one of the popular candidates for the Philippine Award, he originally intended to use the twin prime number problem to win the 18-year Fields Prize for the first time, but he did not want to be the first to be picked up by Lu Zhou, and he was burned.

It can be said that he made a special trip from the United Kingdom to pick up the fault for his competitors.

However, this is the case...

The more he looks down, the more intriguing his expression is.

The logic of the Chinese scholar has reached a horrible level, so that now he has not found any problems, and even can't help but scream...

Sitting next to him is his doctoral student, also a British boy named Evan.

Looking at the lines of text flashing on the curtain, the British guy gradually began to keep up with the rhythm.

Finally, he couldn’t help but whispered.

"Professor, his group structure, what are you talking about?"

Maynard stared at the ppt of the show meticulously, silent.

He can answer this question, but he can't answer it.

First, he didn't want to miss any details because of his distraction. Second, he was afraid that he would open his mouth and couldn't help but express his praise for this clever way in his words... And just the day before yesterday, he also threatened his personal blog. These 50-page papers are all waste papers, and they will be exposed on the spot at the Princeton report.

However, even if he does not want to admit it, he has to admit that there is perhaps more than one Philippine prize in the gap between himself and his opponent.

OK or no, mathematics is such a realistic thing.

On the other hand, in the back row of the lecture hall, the two old people sat in the corner of the conference hall in a low-key manner. While watching the report, they whispered in a chattering voice.

"I didn't expect that I left this few years, and the Princeton Institute of Advanced Studies has a talent." Looking at the young man on the stage, Andrew Wiles raised his nod and nodded. "Yes, I have half of my style."

After returning to his alma mater, Oxford University, in 2011, Andrew Wyles rarely returned to the Princeton Institute of Advanced Studies. The position of director of the Department of Mathematics at Princeton University also gave another genius Charles Fefferman.

The year he was in his mouth was the most important mathematics lecture at the end of the 20th century held by the Newton Institute 13 years ago. More than two hundred mathematicians listened to the speech, although only a quarter of them were able to fully understand the Greek letters and calculations on the blackboard.

As for the remaining three-quarters of the people, they traveled to the UK not far to witness the history.

It is the same now.

Although the Goldbach conjecture is more like a test of intelligence than the widely used Fermat's theorem, this intellectual test can be put into the eighth question of Hilbert by the Hilbert. Its position in number theory and even in the entire field of mathematics.

Solving it may not change the world like a thousand problems, nor can it change mathematics like Fermat's theorem, but the tools created in solving this problem are invaluable to the entire mathematics community.

There is no doubt that everyone sitting here is witnessing history.

"Oh," Deligne's mouth twitched with a smile, and unrelentingly revealed the short way. "I don't know who it was. I have a look at the end of the world all day. I plan to apologize with the New York Times and I am ready to open it." The champagne is still going back."

Wiles whispered and scorned the black history: "Only when a person faces a desperate situation can he promote the inspiration. I just push myself into a dead end, and then I will live a life... As a result, I did it."

Deligne unceremoniously debunked: "Have your last explanation been not performance art?"

"Well, my dear friend, let's change the subject," Wiles quietly opened the subject and looked at the content on the curtain. He said, "Goldbach guesses that I don't know very well, from your point of view. Looking at it, is his paper a proof?"

De Ligne: "You should ask Ivanets and Faltins on this question. They are experts in analytic number theory, and I am only involved in the prime number problem. Of course, after reading his thesis My opinion is more optimistic."

If he is not optimistic, he will not arrange this report for the Luzhou, but proposes to amend it.

Wiles looked surprised: "Faltins is here too?"

"Not that he also came," paused for a moment, Deligne said, "but no one wants to miss it."

Just then, there was a small sigh in the venue.

It was a weird surprise.

At the same time, it also contains praise.

Deligne and Wiles stopped the exchange and looked at the stage.

After a while, Wiles said with a smile: "It seems that our fears seem redundant."

Looking at the calculations on the curtain, Deligne's mouth finally stretched a gratifying smile.

"I have never worried about it."
