Chapter 101: Princeton Twin Prime Conjecture Special Lecture [ Updates Completed]

[Hello, Xiao Yi!]

I am Peter Sanak. First of all, congratulations on your two papers "Automorphisms of Algebraic Varieties under the Etale Fundamental Group" and "Far-Abelian Geometry and the Elliott-Halberstam Conjecture" being officially approved by the review committee. We have received the copyright transfer agreement. They will be officially published in January next year. To be honest, our editorial office is very curious about how many citations your papers can bring. Maybe your papers alone can increase the impact factor of "Annals of Mathematics" by about 1.

In addition, I would also like to congratulate you on your major breakthrough in the twin prime conjecture. I have also read your paper, which is very exciting. Although there is no consensus in the mathematical community, I believe that you have truly solved the twin prime conjecture, a century-old problem in the mathematical community. It is said that number theory is a game of geniuses. Now I think this is not what you are talking about? (Secretly, recently the researchers at our Institute for Advanced Study privately bet on whether your proof is correct. In the end, all of us bet that you can succeed, so this bet can only be made).

Of course, I would also like to take this opportunity to express my hope that when you prepare to submit your paper in the future, you will continue to consider our Annals of Mathematics. It has published the proof of Fermat's Last Theorem, Green-Tau Theorem, Zhang Yitang's first breakthrough proof of the twin prime conjecture, etc. So I think the thorough proof of the twin prime conjecture is also very suitable for the Annals of Mathematics, isn't it?
Well, I said the previous words to you in a private capacity. In fact, this time I am contacting you as the chairman of the organizing committee of the 2020 Annual Mathematics Conference of Princeton University. Professor Pierre Deligne has already told me that he had invited you to attend our annual conference when you were at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics, so this time I am also extending a formal invitation to you.

In addition, considering the proof of the twin prime conjecture you just published, and based on the generally positive view of the mathematics community on your proof, after our discussion, we finally decided to hold a lecture on the twin prime conjecture specifically for you. The entire mathematics community is looking forward to your explanation of the proof process in more detail at this lecture, especially the "parity check classification sieve" you proposed in the paper. Perhaps this will be another new theory equivalent to the self-restraint of Etale algebraic varieties.

According to the arrangement, this annual mathematics conference will be officially held on January 2021, 1. Normally, our annual meeting is held for 8 days, but this time because of your twin prime conjecture, we will extend it to 3 days, and the first day will be your special report.

The twin prime conjecture is really a very important problem, and the entire mathematics community is looking forward to your success! 】

After reading this long email from Professor Peter Sanak, Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows.

"The annual mathematics conference at Princeton?"

When he mentioned this incident, he thought of the original scene.

Max Planck Institute for Mathematics, in an office at night, a seventeen-year-old boy is surrounded by four Fields Medal winners.

Then the boy agreed to a certain request under coercion and inducement.

The amount of help.

After a while, he shook his head and threw away the not-so-nice picture in his mind.

Of course, he was still looking forward to seeing Schultz and Faltings again, especially Faltings, who had pointed out to him that he should study the Elliott-Halberstam conjecture first, which really provided him with great help in solving the twin prime conjecture.

When we meet again, I must express my gratitude in person.

Ok……

Xiao Yi obviously didn't know that Faltings only used the Elliott-Halberstam conjecture to divert his attention because he couldn't give any specific suggestions and didn't think he should study the twin prime conjecture.

"But, speaking of which, Princeton has actually arranged a special lecture for me. Well... there is still a month left, so I have to prepare well."

"Brother Xiao, what email are you reading again? Who sent it to you?"

Ye Cheng's voice came.

"Oh, it was sent by Professor Peter Sunak from Princeton University." Xiao Yi said.

"That Wolf Prize winner in mathematics?" Ye Cheng, who was playing PUBG on his phone, immediately came over and asked, "What is he asking you to do?"

"Here, take a look for yourself." Xiao Yi said.

"So long? Let me see..." Ye Cheng took a look and said, "Wow, Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton? They all believe that your proof is correct!"

"How dare you! Don't you believe it?" Song Ziyang also came over.

As for Luo Qiao, he just took a glance from a distance, and when he saw that it was all in English, he gave up.

Don't talk to people who speak good English.

Ye Cheng: "Of course I believe it. Don't say anything slanderous here. I am loyal to my brother Xiao."

Song Ziyang rolled his eyes and continued to read: "Oh my god, they actually invited you, Brother Xiao, to vote for them again. It makes me feel like the mathematics yearbook has become cheap?"

"Xiao Song, I think you don't understand!" Ye Cheng raised his head and patted Song Ziyang's shoulder: "This is the proof of the twin prime conjecture. Our brother Xiao submitted it to the Annals of Mathematics to give them face."

"Yes, yes, Cheng'er is right." Song Ziyang curled the corner of his mouth. You are still good at licking.

But...what Ye Cheng said makes some sense. The proof of the twin prime conjecture is indeed a respect for the journal to which it is submitted.

"What's the big paragraph below?"

The two continued to watch, and after they finished, they fell silent, then turned around and said, "Forget it, let's continue playing games."

As a result, Luo Qiao, who hadn't come closer to read, became curious: "What's the next part about? Why did you suddenly stop talking about it?"

"Are you sure you want to know?" The two men looked at Luo Qiao strangely.

“Why not…” Luo Qiao suddenly realized something and quickly shook his head, “Forget it, I don’t want to listen anymore, please stop talking.”

"It's too late. What's written below is that Princeton University invited Brother Xiao to attend their annual mathematics conference. They even set aside a day for Brother Xiao to give a special lecture on the twin prime conjecture. The entire mathematics community is looking forward to it."

Luo Qiao immediately put on a mask of pain: "Ah, stop thinking, stop thinking, I've been hit by a dimensionality reduction attack again!!!"

Looking at the three roommates acting like funny guys, Xiao Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He shook his head, and then sent an email to Professor Peter Sunak, saying that he would attend the event.

After replying to the message, the three roommates behind me had already started playing games.

After Ye Cheng landed again, he rushed towards another enemy with his fists raised: "Little bastard, come and fight!"

The enemy was not afraid and also wrestled with him. As a result, Ye Cheng was defeated again.

"Hahaha, little bastard, do you know who I am?"

The enemy started to shout: "In 1974, when I first fought in free fighting in Southeast Asia, I won the championship..."

Ye Cheng was stunned: "I'm so awesome! He stole my lines! Brothers, help me get revenge and beat him up!"

Song Ziyang and Luo Qiao had already picked up their guns and joined the battlefield, shooting the man dead in two shots.

"I told you not to steal my line! I told you not to steal my line!"

After being pulled up by Song Ziyang, Ye Cheng began to whip the corpse in revenge.

Seeing them having so much fun, Xiao Yi thought it was time for him to relax, so he immediately shouted, "Add me in!"

…

The report on the twin prime conjecture will be held at the annual Princeton Mathematics Conference. As soon as this news came out, it once again caused a stir in the entire mathematics community.

Moreover, even people outside the mathematics community have shown great interest in this report.

After all, this is the twin prime conjecture!

Although the Goldbach conjecture is the most shining pearl in the crown of number theory, the significance of the twin prime conjecture is no less than that of the Goldbach conjecture.

Whether they are mathematicians, simple mathematics enthusiasts, or journalists who have nothing to do with mathematics but are very concerned about it, they are all looking forward to the final outcome of the twin prime conjecture.

Whether it will be promoted to a theorem or remain just a conjecture, everything will depend on this report.

Although there is still a month left, quite a few people are already starting to get impatient.

Just like that, amid everyone’s anticipation, time has arrived in January 2021.

……

[Please vote for the new month!! Now is the double period, one vote is equal to two votes! ]
