From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

Chapter 271 The Turbulence Behind the Storm

The news that Lin's conjecture was proved spread all over the world.

Although this matter has not been recognized by everyone, it is definitely not so simple to publish a paper on arxiv to verify whether the proof of a conjecture is correct. A top mathematician said that there are problems in this proof, so everyone will assume that this conjecture has really been proved for the time being.

As for what other people have questions, it is basically a problem with the "obvious" part of it, as well as some problems with insufficient knowledge reserves.

Ever since, everyone is looking forward to this period of time passing quickly, so that the real bigwigs in algebraic geometry will give the final answer, such as Pierre Deligne, and Faltings, these two are in The world of algebraic geometry has a great reputation and strong ability. Such achievements related to algebraic geometry must be recognized by these two. Of course, there are many talents in algebraic geometry. Apart from these two, other bigwigs There are also many of them, after all, every time the Fields Medal is awarded, there is at least one who studies algebraic geometry.

Of course, in addition to this, everyone is also very much looking forward to another academic report by Lin Xiao to openly answer people's questions.

However, for the time being, there is no news that Lin Xiao will hold a report to answer people's questions.

This makes people wonder.

What is Lin Xiao doing?
……

"That's the end of today's class, let's see you next semester."

I finished the last mathematics class of this semester for the graduate students. Although all the graduate students of mathematics at Peking University present are considered to be the top talents in the Huaguo mathematics field, they couldn't help but stare at the mathematical symbols on the blackboard in a daze.

After all, those were all written by Lin Xiao.

What's more, this is still number theory.

As we all know, number theory is a game for geniuses. If you are not a genius, don't try to devote yourself to the research of number theory, otherwise, you will have to sigh and regret in the end.

It's like I don't know how many people try to solve Goldbach's conjecture, from top scientists to civil science, but the mathematicians hit the south wall before they know how to turn back, while the civil science people are in the self-entertainment without knowing it .

Of course, this pearl in the number theory world has already been picked by Lin Xiao, and there is nothing wrong with them.

And Pearl is number theory, and ordinary number theory problems are also number theory. During Lin Xiao's class, for these graduate students, there are only three things, dazed, dazed, or fucking dazed.

But even though they were at a loss, they would review as soon as they turned around. Compared with the last time they saw Lin Xiao this semester and the news some time ago, they had many, many things they wanted to ask him.

"Professor, professor! Has your Lin's conjecture been proved by you?"

Lin Xiao: "Just read my thesis."

"But some of us don't understand!"

"Then go supplement your own knowledge so that you can understand it."

"But we need to understand it before we can know what knowledge we still lack."

"Then read my thesis."

"But we can't understand it!"

Lin Xiao: "...you put this card and I have a bug?"

There was laughter in the classroom.

Lin Xiao shook his head and said, "Okay, let's talk about your exams first, and talk about other things later."

"Don't let me know that you copied other people's exams!"

"Certainly not!"

There was a voice of assurance in the classroom.

Lin Xiao rolled his eyes.

The final exams for graduate students are not as strict as those for undergraduates, so there are cases of copying each other during the exams.

Although Lin Xiao has never experienced it, he has heard of it.

Of course, he didn't invigilate the exam, so it wasn't his turn to take care of this matter, so he didn't say any more.

After leaving the classroom, he returned to his office. At this moment, several professors from the academy, including Xu Ji, and Zhao Qi, the dean of their academy.

Seeing these people coming in, Lin Xiao couldn't help but asked suspiciously: "Is there anything wrong?"

"Hehe, Professor Lin, I want to discuss something with you."

Zhao Qi rubbed his hands together and said with a smile.

"Well, it's fine if Dean Zhao says it." Lin Xiao said.

"That's right, Professor Lin, you proved your Lin's conjecture. Now there are many voices in the mathematics circles, hoping that you can give an academic report, so I just want to ask you, when do you plan to give it?" ? When the time comes, our college and the school will be responsible for the relevant matters. Tell me about it here, so we can make preparations early."

Zhao Qi said with a smile.

As soon as Lin Xiao heard it, he knew what he meant.

After all, this kind of thing is a good thing for their college and school, and Zhao Qi, as the dean, of course has such a duty to carry forward their college.

Last time Lin Xiao proved Goldbach's conjecture. When the report meeting was about to be held, there was such an opportunity. In the end, there were too many people who wanted to come. They don't have the diamond in Beijing University, so they can't take this porcelain job. Go to Beijing The city government also couldn't find a hall that could accommodate ten thousand people temporarily. The Great Hall of the People had to be reserved some time in advance, so the government had to order the Great Hall of the People to vacate the auditorium for ten thousand people.

So that didn't have anything to do with them. Although everyone knew that Lin Xiao was a student of their Peking University at that time, but the report meeting was held in other places, people remembered that it was naturally Lin Xiaohua's identity as a native of the country, not their identity as a Peking University student. .

Of course, Goldbach's conjecture is a thing of the past, and now Lin Xiao has figured out Lin's conjecture again, and because its status in the mathematics world is not low, there are quite a lot of people who pay attention to it, as the dean Zhao Qi, of course, does not want to lose such an opportunity.

However, Lin Xiao just shook his head and said, "Dean Zhao, I don't have any plans yet."

Zhao Qi was taken aback, and couldn't help asking: "Professor Lin, why is this?"

Lin Xiao said: "Because I am still in charge of the X-ray project, in fact, some people speculate on the Internet. I proved that Lin's conjecture is for the purpose of building a photolithography machine. Although it seems impossible, it is actually possible, and it It is indeed my purpose."

"Now that Lin's conjecture has been proven, it's time for me to continue to focus on the X-ray project."

Hearing Lin Xiao's words, several people present were stunned.

Lin Xiao proved Lin's conjecture, just for the X-ray project?
Although using "just" to describe it seems that the X-ray project is not important, but in the eyes of mathematicians, the fact is almost true.

After all, they are not like Lin Xiao, who not only want to study mathematics, but also study these lithography machines. In their view, the truth of mathematics is of course more important than these applied technologies.

For a moment, they couldn't help but look at each other.

Xu Ji felt very curious: "Lin Xiao, this is your theorem, is it really useful for lithography machine technology?"

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Of course it works, otherwise why should I solve it?"

"In addition, maybe after a while, you will know how to use my Lin's theorem."

Hearing what Lin Xiao said, several people didn't know what to say, Zhao Qi could only say: "Professor Lin, let's do this, but if you have time, you must hold a lecture in our school." what!"

"Of course no problem." Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Maybe it won't be long before I have time to make this report."

"Okay!" Zhao Qi only took Lin Xiao's polite words, and after answering, he didn't say any more.

It was Xu Ji who asked, "You don't intend to give this report at this year's International Congress of Mathematicians, do you?"

"I don't rule out this possibility," Lin Xiao said.

But the conversation between the two still stunned Zhao Qi and the others.

International Congress of Mathematicians?
They didn't know that Lin Xiao had received this invitation, only Xu Ji knew about it.

So Zhao Qi couldn't help but said pleasantly: "Professor Lin, have you received the invitation to report at the International Congress of Mathematicians?"

Lin Xiao nodded and said modestly: "Well, it's just a one-hour report, so it's better than last time."

Zhao Qi and several other professors: "..."

A little better than last time?
That is?

You leave this with us Versailles, right?
Wasn't it a one-hour report last time? !
And because the one-hour report last time was temporarily arranged, in terms of its particularity and history, as well as the subsequent impact of that report, it is obviously more famous than the ordinary one-hour report. It's hard to say who is good and who is bad.

Of course, there is nothing to say about this. The most important thing is that two consecutive International Mathematicians Conferences have been able to receive report invitations, and now they are still receiving one-hour report invitations. This kind of honor is still meaningful. They looked at it again Lin Xiao's young face.

Zhao Qi ground his teeth, wondering why his teeth were sore?
Of course, putting aside the question of whether it is sour or not, Lin Xiao received another one-hour report invitation, which is also a benefit for their college and school, although it is not as good as inviting many mathematicians from the world's mathematics community to participate in an academic conference. The report has greatly improved the international reputation, but it is still very good for the domestic reputation.

Although Beijing University is already well-known in the country, it will never despise this opportunity to earn fame. Just look at how helpful they are in competing with Qinghua for students because of Lin Xiao. .

So Zhao Qi forgot Lin Xiao's Versailles words, and said with a smile: "Hey, congratulations to Professor Lin first, if you plan to give a report at the International Congress of Mathematicians, that's okay, I fully support you .”

"Hehe, let's see what happens."

Lin Xiao waved his hand.

"Well, well, that's it."

Zhao Qi nodded, and then they stopped talking and left Lin Xiao's office.

But Lin Xiao cleaned up and returned to Yanbeiyuan's house.

After stroking his tits, he sat down at his desk.

Open his paper proving Lin's conjecture, and browse through it roughly.

But when he looked at it, his eyes flickered slightly.

He did plan to give a report on Lin's conjecture at the International Congress of Mathematicians.

However, when sorting out the thesis, he was surprised to find that the proof process and the proof results seemed to be applicable to the research of Hodge's conjecture!
Even help to prove the Hodge conjecture!

Before, in order to prove Lin's conjecture, because of the connection between Lin's conjecture and Hodge's conjecture, he had read many papers on Hodge's conjecture, and now that Lin's conjecture has been proved, looking back Let's take a look again, the relationship between Lin's conjecture and Hodge's conjecture can even be deepened.

And this will also help to prove Hodge's conjecture!
What is Hodge's conjecture?
One of the Seven Millennium Problems!

The seven major problems of each millennium are of great significance to the academic world.

The Riemann Hypothesis can solve the mystery of prime numbers; once the p=np problem is true, we may even be able to use computers to prove other millennium problems; The Secret of Fluid Motion...

The Hodge conjecture is able to truly connect the two seemingly unrelated fields of mathematics, algebraic geometry and topology, and once again make great progress for the great unification of mathematics.

Although there is an intersection between algebraic geometry and topology, which can be used to study each other, the two are not really connected.

Even the Lin's conjecture is just connecting ordinary functions and layers, which is equivalent to making the connection between algebra and geometry closer.

Lin Xiao thought about it in his heart, finally shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

Although the Lin's theorem he proved is helpful to the proof of Hodge's conjecture, it is still quite difficult to really prove Hodge's conjecture.

And he didn't have time to do it yet.

After all, what he is going to study now is an X-ray machine.

Just like what he told Zhao Qi and the others just now, he proved Lin's conjecture for this purpose.

That is to study the nature of the formation mechanism of chemical bonds.

And now, he has such an opportunity.

Re-open another document, the name of this document is "Theory of Electron Topological Bonding".

In the past few days, he has not cared about the outside discussion about Lin's conjecture, and has been devoting all his thoughts to the research of this theory.

The theory of electronic topological bonding regards chemical bonds as ropes and atomic nuclei as kinks. The topological way between them is the principle of their bonding and the formation of their own molecular structure!

This is the new theory that Lin Xiao will bring to this world again.

In fact, nearly 200 years ago, a scholar named Kelvin believed that kinks could be used to study atoms, but that scholar has not avoided the influence of "ether theory", so the last research is still not possible. Let it go.

But now, Lin Xiao has to use a brand new method to understand it.

The corner of his mouth curled up slightly.

It proves that Lin's conjecture has disturbed the situation in the mathematics world, and the theory of electronic topological bonding will stir up the situation in the three fields of condensed matter physics, structural chemistry, and materials!
Of course, he didn't stop at the illusion of success, after all, he hasn't succeeded yet.

Taking out his pen, he started his calculations.

[Assume that an atom is a kink p, there are m layers of electron orbits, and n electrons... Suppose there are X atoms of this atom in a certain crystal unit cell...]

【According to the basic bonding theory, the possibility of forming a chemical bond between these atoms is (mn/X)*(√nm/X)*...】

【...φ(x)=∫r∈K|dr|/|xr|=∫2π0|r′(t)|dt/|xr(t)|】

……

It is quite difficult to use topology to understand this atomic level problem.

This is probably to give a rope of any length, and then twist it into a Rubik's cube, and it must be 9*9, 18*18 is not impossible, if the unit cell is complex enough.

This first requires a strong spatial imagination.

However, with Lin Xiao's current brain development speed, he was able to establish a model of light diffraction and interference in his mind, and naturally he could also establish such a model about kinks in his mind.

So, first of all, he solved a major problem in the study of this thing.

Then, it's a math game.

To study a problem is to drag the problem to the field of one's own expertise to solve it.

For Lin Xiao, mathematics is such a field that he is good at, but this field is more versatile, and it can be used to solve too many other problems.

In this way, a new theory gradually came out in his hands.

However, the academic community still hasn't realized that what kind of storm is hidden behind the charm after the Lin's conjecture has just been proved, which is about to set off its turbulence.

[Sorry for making everyone wait.I will be home tomorrow, and this chapter is written every night in the hotel to squeeze out time-because I am driving home with my family, crossing half the country, which is a bit far away. 】
