From small town scholar to chief scientist

Chapter 256 An Unexpected Big Surprise
Zhou Yi said:

"Okay Teacher Qiu, I'll take a look now,
Anyway, the research on antimatter is a bit stuck recently, let's see if I can get some inspiration from my sister's paper. "

The Jacobi conjecture is a well-known open problem.

At the end of the last century, Vladimir Arnold, then the vice president of the International Mathematical Union, was inspired by Hilbert,
Invite some mathematicians to list some mathematical problems for the upcoming 21st century.Stephen Smale, who was invited, gave 1998 unsolved problems in 18, and the Jacobi conjecture was among them.

This conjecture has not been solved since the German mathematician Keller (Ott-Heinrich Keller) first proposed it in 1939.

As far as Zhou Yi knows, a cruel reality is that at least five published proofs are all wrong.

For example, the proof given by Susumu Oda in the 1980 preprint is wrong.

In 2004, Mel Hochster, a professor of mathematics at the University of Michigan, announced that Carolyn Dean had proved the two-dimensional Jacobian conjecture, which caused a great sensation. Carolyn Dean is a mathematics lecturer at the University of Michigan;
Mel Hochster double-checked every detail in her article and was convinced it was correct, but it was soon discovered that it was also a false proof.

In 2005, Professor Su Yucai submitted the paper "Proof of the Two-Dimensional Jacobian Conjecture" on arXiv, and Professor Mo Zongjian then issued an article pointing out that the proof was wrong.

The road to prove the Jacobi conjecture is very difficult.

So if Xiao Wanyi hadn't proved Zhou's conjecture, Qiu Chengtong hadn't been waving the flag, and the Paris Ecole Normale Supérieur hadn't been behind the scenes,
Perhaps the degree of attention will not be very high.

After all, the Jacobi conjecture involves a wide range of algebra, geometry, topology, differential equations, combinatorics, and so on.

And there are many ways to study the Jacobi conjecture,

Many mathematicians have transformed it into various equivalent forms and studied it from different angles.
Study in areas such as analysis, algebra, or geometry, to name a few.

But Chinese mathematicians have also made great progress in the Jacobi conjecture,
Professor Wang Suisheng (Stuart Sui-Sheng Wang) from the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Auckland proved that the n-dimensional Jacobian conjecture is true for quadratic polynomial mapping in 1980. This is an important progress, but the proof is very simple.

Professor Jie-Tai Yu of the University of Hong Kong proved in 1995 that for negative polynomial mappings whose Jacobian determinant is 1, the n-dimensional Jacobian conjecture holds.

If Zhouyi hadn't been working on the seven millennium puzzles with the system task, he would probably have turned around to study Jacobi's conjecture.

Because this conjecture starts from the direction of algebraic geometry, it is a good method, and the predecessors have paved the way very well,

As long as you are familiar with Zhou's analytical method, Zhou's geometry and differential equations, you have a great chance to prove it.

It just depends on who is faster and who is slower.

Xiao Wanyi studied under Qiu Chengtong, her geometric level is unquestionable, coupled with her deep understanding of Zhou's analytical method,
Zhou Yi feels that this paper is likely to falsify Jacobi's conjecture.

In the case of n≥3, the Jacobi conjecture is very unlikely to be established, and the mathematical community is generally not optimistic about it.

Zhou Yi is also very pessimistic.

Zhou Yi downloaded it immediately and looked at it.

The thesis has a lot of pages, and it is in the direction of algebraic geometry. Zhou Yi can't read it very quickly.

Because this paper is not a number theory paper or a geometry paper.

If it is a paper in these two directions, Zhou Yi usually reads it quickly, but now he reads it very slowly.

While Zhou Yi was reading the paper immersively, there was a lot of discussion in the mathematics community about this paper.

Opinions vary.

There are supporters, there are opponents, and even more envy.

A 21-year-old girl made this kind of achievement, which is simply earth-shattering.

The first female mathematician to win a Fields Medal was Mariam Mirzakhani of Iranian descent.

She was only 35 years old at that time.

If Xiao Wanyi's paper is recognized by the mathematics community, there will be two candidates for the Fields Medal in Great Xia.

And one by one is more monstrous.

A founder of two schools of thought, a 20-year-old genius boy,

A 21-year-old female mathematician, no matter which one she is, will be recorded in the history of mathematics and the annals of the Great Xia Kingdom.

And what makes people talk about it most is that both of them are Qiu Chengtong's disciples,

Still from the same family, I am afraid that compared with Grothendieck's lineage, Qiu Chengtong's lineage will not be afraid to give way.

Grothendieck has Deligne and Faljens in his veins.

Qiu Chengtong's lineage includes Zhou Yi and Xiao Wanyi.

The news about Xiao Wanyi on the Internet also spread like wildfire. After all, Xiao Wanyi was a blogger with millions of beautiful girls on the Internet.
There are many fans in Douyin and Bibo, and now there is a major breakthrough,
The popularity of its fans is terrifying.

Many people commented under the personal accounts of Xiao Wanyi and Zhou Yi's scientific research assistant:
[Oh my god, two genius mathematicians came out of the Great Xia Kingdom at the same time, my god!
It was an era that witnessed the rise of Mathematics in the Great Xia Kingdom. 】

[You witness fart, do you think everyone is Professor Zhou Yi?Writing a thesis versus a thesis? 】

[Only Professor Zhou Yi is carrying the banner in the mathematics circles of the Great Xia Kingdom, and the rest are not.

The accuracy of this paper is hard to say, too many people have stumbled on Jacobi's conjecture, Xiao Wanyi is too young, and there are not many results, just a third-rate Zhou's conjecture. 】

[I hope the thesis is correct, then my Great Xia Kingdom is really the first year of the rise of mathematics.

Professor Zhou's mathematical achievements are unquestionable, and Jacobi's conjecture is enough to make Xiao Wanyi a strong contender for the Philippine Award in 2026. 】

[I have a question, who is more successful than Professor Zhou or Xiao Wanyi? 】

[I'm afraid the upstairs is not an idiot. Xiao Wanyi will never be able to stand up to her in her life. Professor Zhou is a pioneer. His own theory is self-contained, and he is the originator of many schools of mathematics.

Xiao Wanyi just used various tools to prove the math problem.This kind of math problem is just a little difficult in the math world. 】

Many people even quarreled over who is stronger and who is weaker between Zhou Yi and Xiao Wanyi.

Various marketing accounts and self-media have been forcibly chasing Xiao Wanyi's popularity.

"Shocked, Great Xia Country's Number One Female Mathematician! "

"Shocked, the original Internet celebrity blogger turned out to be the number one female mathematician in Great Xia Kingdom! "

"As we all know, Internet celebrity is the main job, and learning mathematics is just a side job. "

Even those who are not afraid of death directly fry CP.

"The story that Professor Zhou Yi and Xiao Wanyi have to tell. "

"Shocked, Xiao Wanyi even chased after Professor Zhou! "

"The Love and Hate between Xiao Wanyi and Professor Zhou! "

"The reason why Xiao Wanyi traveled across the ocean was Professor Zhou Yi's cruel refusal? "

Many marketing accounts directly dug up the matter between Zhou Yi and Xiao Wanyi.

Many people ate melons one after another, and some fans of Xiao Wanyi scolded Zhou Yi for being cruel.

Such a delicate Guliang was willing to refuse.

Still so stunning.

All kinds of rhythms on the Internet are flying, and all kinds of lace news are spreading,

The two people involved have not yet come out to refute the rumors.

Zhou Yi was busy reading Xiao Wanyi's thesis, and Xiao Wanyi was busy checking her own.

A mathematical proof paper, or a paper on a big conjecture, generally has more or less mistakes.

And you can't check it yourself.

Otherwise, there would not be so many wrong papers pointed out.

Are those mathematicians stupid?Or careless?
neither.

It is difficult to get out of your own thinking mode after falling into it.

After entering one's own logic, unless someone calls it, it is difficult to find out.

This is what the authorities are obsessed with while the bystanders are clear.

Every reviewer, if not walking in the author's logic, will not fall into a puzzle, but will be a bystander.

In this case, it will be much easier to find errors in the paper.

Zhou Yi sighed while watching,
The new apprentice Zhang Jiahui asked weakly:
"Teacher, what's the situation? Is Uncle Shi's thesis right or wrong?"

Zhou Yi said:

"It seems that there is nothing wrong with it so far, but I have only read more than 20 pages, and I can't read it very quickly."

Jiang Guoyu on the side said weakly:
"It is said that learning the highest point of mathematics requires not only hard work and concentration, but also talent."

Zhou Yi took a sip of hot water, then rubbed his tired eyes, and said:
"At the top of mathematics, concentration and hard work account for two-thirds, and talent is estimated to account for one-third.

But if you are talented and don't work hard, you will never succeed.You have some talents, not many, but you must believe that hard work can make up for one's weakness,

Mr. Zhang Yitang is a good example. The orthodox scientific research education you have received is stronger than theirs. "

Zhang Jiahui said:
"Mr. Zhou, don't you need to pay attention to the comments on the Internet?"

Zhou Yi said:

"No, the background photos of my various platforms are all photos taken with your teacher's wife, so don't worry about what they are doing."

Since Shen Yiyu, Chu Li and others graduated, Zhou Yi's office has become quite deserted.

There are only two apprentices, Zhang Jiahui and Jiang Guoyu.

Currently, the two apprentices are still learning some basic courses.
Accumulate enough reserve knowledge to lay the foundation for the following fields.

After resting for a while, Zhou Yi said:

"Zhang Jiahui, when you go to the cafeteria to eat later, bring me a rice bowl with stir-fried shredded pork with green peppers, and another dish of cold rattan vegetables. I don't plan to take a break at noon, so keep watching."

The two looked at each other, the boss was studying here, and their plan for a lunch break fell through.

I have been watching the afternoon, Zhou Yi is more and more fascinated,

"Senior sister started from traditional algebraic geometry, but there are some shadows of Zhou's geometry, the algebraic ideas in it,

How do I feel that it can be applied well in a certain aspect?
What theory got stuck in the direction of algebra? "

Zhou Yi fell into deep thought.

Zhou Yi thought about it for a long time without thinking, but felt that this feeling was very strong and could be applied to the problems left over from the beginning.

Zhouyi feels very important, very important, and it is an application that may subvert the world.

Zhou Yi woke up gradually, and said to the two apprentices:

"I'm going to retreat for a few days, and let Yiguang invite an aunt to deliver meals to me every day at 7:12 am, 6:[-] noon, and [-]:[-] pm.

Just put it at the door. "

The two said:

"Ok."

Zhou Yi then returned to his own apartment in Yugaoyuan. The reason why he didn't go home was because the two old people might interrupt his thoughts.

"I won't give it away tonight. I'll go to the cafeteria to eat by myself."

After Zhou Yi finished speaking, he went to the cafeteria, and returned to his apartment after eating.

Zhou Yi began to say to the system:

"A sudden inspiration to use."

Zhou Yi got two lottery draws at the beginning, and the inspiration suddenly dawned. I used to think that there was no need to use such precious things.
But now it seems that if you don't use it, you may not find the application value in Xiao Wanyi's thesis at all.

Even though many subjects in Zhouyi are now highly ranked, it may not be possible to discover the application value of every paper.

When the inspiration for using Zhouyi suddenly appeared,
After taking the enhanced version of the Focus Capsule that I drew back then, my brain began to function rapidly.

At this moment, the knowledge of mathematics, physics, chemistry, artificial intelligence and other disciplines in Zhou Yi's mind frantically emerged,
In a mysterious and mysterious state,

Each theory is very clear and automatically substituted.

Zhou Yi first ruled out the application of artificial intelligence.

Second is geodynamics.

"Is there only physics and chemistry left? It seems that it is mostly physics."

Sure enough, under the blessing of powerful inspiration, Zhou Yi quickly ruled out the great role of algebra in chemistry.

It's not that this thesis is useless for these disciplines, but that it is not as useful as Zhou Yi's self-awareness.

At this moment, countless physical knowledge emerged in Zhou Yi's mind,
Condensed matter physics, astrophysics and other branches frantically emerged in Zhou Yi's mind.

until locked into quantum mechanics.

Only then did Zhou Yi suddenly realize.

"That's it! It's quantum mechanics.

Quantum Mechanics Information Theory! "

Zhou Yi shouted excitedly in the room,

"Quantum entanglement was originally impossible to be applied, but now it seems that the probability is very high.

Originally, the mathematics behind quantum mechanics is very complete. Algebra is to quantum mechanics just like symplectic manifolds are to classical mechanics, which is the icing on the cake.

More just to give a deeper understanding of the theoretical structure of quantum mechanics.

But now it seems that the situation has changed.

Why didn't I think of the connection between algebraic geometry and information theory of quantum mechanics. "

Zhou Yi's face is heartbroken at this moment, 20 lottery draws may not be able to draw a sudden inspiration.

After Zhou Yi thought about the application direction, he felt so hungry that his chest pressed against his back.

Looking at the time, it turned out to be noon on the second day.

Zhou Yi hurriedly opened the door and found two lunch boxes.
I took it in directly, and after heating it in the microwave, I began to eat it with relish.

Without energy, the brain's thinking speed slows down,

Only when you are full will you have the strength to think about the content behind.

Although the time is less than 7 hours, it is still too late to clarify some specific directions.

"Senior sister really gave me an unexpected big surprise. I thought it would take a long time to break through the application of quantum entanglement.
Now it seems that within ten years, or within five years, I can make a perfect quantum communication system.

Starting with algebra is really a feasible framework. "

Zhou Yi's eyes were bright, and he said excitedly while eating.

epoch-making significance.

If controllable nuclear fusion is epoch-making, then quantum information theory will also be epoch-making.

After eating, Zhou Yi put the garbage outside the door, and the garbage would be taken away by the aunt who delivered the food, instead of Zhou Yi throwing it into the garbage container by himself.
