From failed candidate to chief scientist

Chapter 109 Timed out again?

"The above is the entire proof process of Kakeya's conjecture. If there are any shortcomings, I would like to invite all scholars to criticize and correct me."

clap clap clap!
Thunderous applause sounded in the venue.

“Now let’s move on to the question and answer session.”

At the staff's signal, Zhang Qihua spoke.

Although he had finished speaking, Zhang Qihua did not relax at all. Instead, he raised his heart because he knew that the next moment would be the test for him.

"I have a question."

This is when someone raised their hand in the audience, and the staff immediately handed over the microphone.

Zhang Qihua looked at the person who asked the question. It was Marina Vyazovska who had just won the Fields Medal yesterday.

"Professor Zhang, your report on the proof of Kakeya's conjecture is very exciting and has benefited me a lot. It's hard for me to believe that you actually proved the Kakeya conjecture and really brought the minimum area close to zero. However, in Here, what I want to know is, as a follow-up to Kakeya’s conjecture, have you made further progress on the finiteness of Fourier transform?”

Marina has done in-depth research on Fourier transform, and the results she won the Fields Medal are also related to Fourier transform, so she asked a question that she was very concerned about.

Zhang Qihua heaved a sigh of relief. This question was within the scope of what he knew. He listened to the whole discussion between Lin Mo and Lu Xiaoyan, so he naturally understood it clearly.

"Regarding this issue, we have actually done some research, but unfortunately, after our research, we believe that Kakeya's conjecture is not directly related to the restrictive problem of Fourier transform. In other words, Kakeya's conjecture is not The finite nature of the Fourier transform cannot be solved."

"What? Not relevant?"

Marina had a look of shock on her face.

The audience was also in an uproar.

You must know that before this, many mathematicians believed that as long as the Kakeya conjecture was solved, the restrictive problem of Fourier transform could be solved.

Seeing this, Zhang Qihua motioned to the staff to bring over a blackboard, and then started writing and demonstrating on the blackboard.

"Here, we can see..."

Zhang Qihua was talking eloquently. Although Lu Xiaoyan's paper on this issue has not yet been published, it was sent to the mailboxes of Lin Mo and Zhang Qihua two days ago, asking them to help contribute to the Journal of Mathematics.

Therefore, Zhang Qihua was naturally able to speak openly about this issue.

"That's roughly the case."

Zhang Qihua put down his pen.

"Of course, for the specific situation, you can pay attention to the next issue of Journal of Mathematics. Professor Lu Xiaoyan, a participant in our project, has a more detailed discussion in this regard."

Naturally, Zhang Qihua would not take advantage of Lu Xiaoyan, take credit for Lu Xiaoyan's work, and even advertise for Lu Xiaoyan here.If Lu Xiaoyan knew, he would probably be moved to tears.

The scholars in the audience were silent for a while. Although after listening to Zhang Qihua's explanation, they basically agreed with Zhang Qihua's conclusion that it was not relevant, they still couldn't accept this fact. After all, everyone thought it was relevant before.

Many people never recovered from it.

"That……"

Marina opened her mouth, wanting to ask whether Zhang Qihua had done any research on the limitations of Fourier transform, but after thinking about it, she realized that this might be beyond the scope of today's report, so she swallowed her words back.

However, Zhang Qihua obviously saw what Marina was thinking. Zhang Qihua turned his head and glanced at Lin Mo on the right side of the stage, and an idea came to his mind.

"Professor Marina, I know what you want to ask. You want to ask about the research progress on the Fourier transform restriction problem, right?"

Marina nodded silently.

"In fact, our team has also done in-depth research on this problem. Through our efforts, we have created an equation. Using this equation, we can well solve the restrictive problem of Fourier transform."

"What?" Marina couldn't believe her ears.

All the scholars in the audience also exclaimed in surprise, and gasps of cold air could be heard one after another.

"This issue was raised by my student Lin Mo. If possible, I would like to ask my student Lin Mo to come on stage and explain to everyone the situation on this issue."

Lin Mo, who was on the side of the stage, couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Is this revenge coming too soon?
Teacher Zhang, you are too small. How can you hold a grudge like this?

After Zhang Qihua finished speaking, he looked at Mori Chongwen in the audience.

"Mr. Chairman, may I?"

When things got to this point, the appetites of the scholars present were whetted. Could Morishigefumi say no?
Although the report has now timed out,...

"Mr. Chairman, let Lin Mo speak!"

"Yes, Mr. Chairman, we all want to hear it!"

The voices of scholars rang out in the venue.

Mori Shigebumi looked back at the expressions of the participating scholars. Their faces were full of eagerness and thirst for knowledge. What else could he say?

Mori Shigebumi could only nod.

Zhang Qihua finally breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and stepped off the stage, gave Lin Mo a cheering look, and stood aside.

Lin Mo rolled his eyes at Zhang Qihua, took a deep breath, and stepped onto the stage.

It was one thing for him to comfort Zhang Qihua, but it was another thing for him to have his turn. He had never seen such a big battle!
He could only think silently in his mind, there are all radishes down there, one radish, two radishes...

"Luo... no, hello everyone, I am Lin Mo."

"I am very happy to be here to report our team's latest research results on solutions to the Fourier transform limitation problem."

Lin Mo calmed down and focused on the problem to be explained. He picked up the pen and began to explain while doing math on the blackboard.

"At first, we wanted to use the method of building a topological model to solve the Fourier transform limitation problem just like proving Kakeya's conjecture. However, as we tried more deeply, we found that this method did not work."

"So we tried another approach..."

"Equation, yes..."

"We want to use Fourier transform to solve the problem of Fourier transform..."

"So, we constructed a transformation equation..."

“Because this equation was jointly created by Professor Lu Xiaoyan and I, we call it the Lin-Lu equation.”

"About the Lin-Lu equation..."

"From this, we can conclude that through the Lin-Lu equation, we can effectively solve the limiting problem of Fourier transform..."

I don't know how much time passed, but Lin Mo finally finished his report.

As Lin Mo finished speaking, the venue fell into silence. Half a minute later, no one knew who started.

clap clap.

Applause gradually sounded in the venue, and thunderous applause resounded throughout the venue.
