The top student must be diligent.

Chapter 276 Xiao Yi VS the mathematics world?
In this way, Xiao Yi's method first spread in China, and then because of the link Liang Qiushi sent to Chen Muhua, it first spread in the Department of Mathematics at Princeton University.

When Manuel and Okunkov discovered that this new method could be used to study the Riemann hypothesis, they immediately found a group of mathematicians from the Department of Mathematics at Princeton University and began to discuss this new method. They also tried to discuss where this method could help if they really wanted to use it to try to prove the Riemann hypothesis.

It can be said that their discussion brought together all the top mathematicians in Princeton.

Different ideas and inspirations are constantly generated and collided in the brainstorming of these mathematicians.

Of course, maybe it was because their discussion was so loud that it attracted a bunch of students to watch.

The place where they had the discussion was in Manuel's laboratory. Chen Muhua and other Manuel's students gave up their seats to the professors.

Listening to their discussions and the various advanced mathematical formulas written on the blackboard from time to time, not only did they feel dazzled, but their ears also seemed to not know what to listen to for a moment.

Of course, they were not kicked out, but were allowed to stay and listen, and if they had any ideas, they could express their opinions.

Including Chen Muhua also stood up and expressed his own thoughts.

Of course, there are one or two who are still doctoral students but have already demonstrated excellent abilities. Some of their previous papers have even been published in top journals. Even Chen Muhua has to call them big guys. They are geniuses who also made some constructive suggestions, which aroused deep thought among many big guys present.

And just like that, time passed quickly.

This discussion has lasted for two days and has not yet ended.

"Unbelievable. I never expected that they could come up with so many angles for such a new method."

Sitting on the sidelines, listening to the professors in front of him discussing more and more things, Sanjay couldn't help but exclaimed to Chen Muhua next to him.

Chen Muhua shrugged and said, "Why else would they be professors? And they are mathematics professors at Princeton University."

"That's true." Sanjay nodded. "But then again, this method can actually be used to study the Riemann hypothesis... Does this mean that Professor Xiao is also studying the Riemann hypothesis?"

"Well...it's hard to say." Chen Muhua said.

He himself doesn't know, although, in the video recording, Xiao Yi said that he did not study the Riemann hypothesis, but who knows about such things?

Their Professor Xiao is not the kind of professor who likes to tell others what he is researching.

Who knows if he is hiding?

But, thinking about the fact that my last teacher only came up with a method during class, and it could arouse the discussion of so many big guys in front of me, um...

He still feels a little proud of it.

At this time, Sanjay next to him continued to express his admiration for Xiao Yi and his envy that China had such a scholar, which left Chen Muhua speechless.

How come this guy is even more boastful than Xiao Yi's student?
However, at this moment, the professors who were discussing suddenly stopped the discussion.

Then Andrei Okunkov said, "So, we are now officially a team, right?"

Manuel smiled and said, "Yes, it's about forming a team! Just like the team formed by Dennis Gatesgory and Sam Raskin! They formed a team of nine people and conquered the geometric Langlands conjecture. Now that so many of us form a team, we are going to conquer the Riemann conjecture!"

A slightly younger professor on the other side seemed a little nervous: "But, this is the Riemann hypothesis! This is the super-ultimate-ultimate big boss!"

An old mathematician nearby laughed and consoled him, "Don't worry, even if it's a super-ultimate ...

This old mathematician is Peter Sarnak.

As a top mathematician at Princeton University who also mainly studies number theory, he certainly did not miss this discussion.

"Well, it's settled then. Since this damn Riemann hypothesis has stumped our mathematics community for so long, maybe we should have united to face this damn conjecture a long time ago."

Peter Sunak said: "I will call the guys at the Institute for Advanced Study and ask them if they are willing to join us. I think if they are willing to join us, our team will become stronger."

Hearing Sanak's words, everyone else present nodded in agreement.

Then, Sanak took out his mobile phone and started making a call.

The students around saw it immediately.

My goodness, why are you forming a team just because of a disagreement?

Team up to solve the Riemann hypothesis?

Although this kind of thing has happened before, there has never been a precedent where so many top mathematicians have expressed their intention to form a team.

For a moment, they were all surprised.

Moreover, it seems that there are not only these people, but there may be even more people.

Those guys at the Institute for Advanced Study...

Could it be referring to those big guys like Deligne and Bombieri?
For a moment, their hearts were pounding as they realized that they were witnessing something that could probably be called a historic event in the mathematical world.

Of course, a question arises at this time. With so many people, can they really solve the Riemann hypothesis?
"By the way, do you think Xiao Yi is also studying the Riemann hypothesis?"

Suddenly, another professor brought up this matter.

"do not know."

The professors present all shook their heads.

"But I think he would pay some attention to it. I remember that he once advanced the critical line theorem of the Riemann hypothesis to a very high level."

"62.5%, which is still the best result in the critical line theorem of the Riemann hypothesis."

Someone quickly answered.

"Haha, if he is also studying the Riemann hypothesis, do you think that with so many of us working together, can we figure it out before him?"

"Well... this is a very interesting question, but the premise is that he is currently studying the Riemann hypothesis. Otherwise, no matter how much we think about it, it will not make much sense."

The mathematicians all laughed.

However, Sanjay, who was standing next to Chen Muhua, whispered, "Then I still think Professor Xiao can handle it alone."

Chen Muhua was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry. It turned out to be true. This guy was better at playing the Xiao Yi than him.

only……

He actually thought so in his heart.

……

Naturally, the news here could not be hidden, and soon the entire mathematics community knew about it. A group of top mathematicians at Princeton suddenly decided to unite and jointly try to prove the Riemann hypothesis when discussing how Xiao Yi's new method could help prove the Riemann hypothesis.

Whether it is old mathematicians such as Pierre Deligne, Enrique Bombieri, Peter Sarnak, or those slightly younger mathematicians, they have all participated in this team, preparing to imitate the form of proving the geometric Langlands conjecture and jointly try to overcome the Riemann hypothesis.

This immediately caused a lot of discussion in the mathematics community.

Because, to some extent, this can actually be regarded as a kind of surrender to the Riemann hypothesis.

It can be considered a compromise in the mathematical community.

In the past, most mathematicians who wanted to solve the Riemann hypothesis would basically choose to try to study it alone, or limit themselves to a team of two or three people.

In this way, the honors that will eventually be obtained from successful demonstration can be more guaranteed.

Obviously, the honor of being able to prove the Riemann hypothesis would be enormous, and if one could prove it oneself, probably no one would be willing to share such honor with others.

And now, it is undoubtedly these mathematicians who have put aside these ideas and hope to see the final answer to the Riemann hypothesis.

For a time, people in the mathematics community expressed various opinions on this matter. Some of them expressed criticism, saying that such a compromise should not happen in the mathematics community. The mathematics community should maintain its own pride and should not compromise on a problem. It should also give more future mathematicians a chance. What if in the future, a young mathematician stood up and directly proved the Riemann hypothesis?

Of course, the first half of this statement was recognized by some people, but not so many people agreed with the second half, because there is such a young mathematician now, that is Xiao Yi. As for whether there will be mathematicians like Xiao Yi in the future, no one knows, and they all think that the possibility of such an appearance is still too low. Maybe they have to wait at least a few thousand years?

As a result, some voices expressing approval said: Xiao Yi has already proved so many mathematical conjectures, it is time for us to prove one, and the Riemann hypothesis is very suitable.

This voice of recognition has received quite a lot of support.

After all, if they couldn't perform well, wouldn't Xiao Yi have to prove all the problems by himself?
As a result, many other mathematicians sent emails to Princeton, expressing their desire to join their team.

For example, Terence Tao also joined. On the day he joined, he wrote on his blog: "I have to admit that the goal of "beating Xiao Yi" is too tempting for me, so I chose to join the Prime Number Pioneer Program. Hey, Xiao Yi, did you see that? This time we will definitely not let you lead the entire mathematics community again!"

Prime Number Pioneer Project is the name of their team.

In addition to Terence Tao, Peter Schultz also expressed his willingness to join the team. When a news outlet interviewed him and asked him if he had anything to say to Xiao Yi, he smiled and said, "Hey, Xiao Yi, start studying the Riemann hypothesis as soon as possible. This way, we can truly begin our duel! Now is the time to prove whether one person can match the entire mathematics community, or whether the entire mathematics community will eventually be more powerful than you alone!"

In this way, this matter gradually spread and was no longer limited to the mathematics community, but even other circles knew about it.

All major news media also rushed to report on this incident.

《The Mathematical World vs. Xiao Yi! An Epic Battle is Underway!》

"What will happen when a group of geniuses face off against a genius among geniuses?"

"Who will win? Riemann hypothesis, a new wave of controversy!"

《Shock! Xiao Yi actually confronted the entire mathematics community...》

……

Of course, this kind of thing quickly reached Xiao Yi.

He was a bit confused about this.

How did this happen?
First of all, why are these a group of mathematicians suddenly studying the Riemann hypothesis together?

And then we need to form a team?

After a final check, it turned out that it was because of the analysis of the elliptic anticurve he came up with, and somehow even the guys at Princeton knew about it, and after careful research, they also discovered that this method could be used to study the Riemann hypothesis.

In other words, he didn't know it at that time. It was because his two good disciples spread his class recording that eventually led to its discovery by mathematicians at Princeton University so quickly.

Of course, even if he knew, he would have nothing to say, because even if his two good disciples did not pass on the secret now, it would be spread abroad sooner or later, and by then there would be a high probability that something like this would still happen.

But no matter what, because of this incident, he has received many interview invitations recently, and various news media are expecting him to respond to this matter or express his own opinions.

However, he naturally rejected all these interview invitations.

He has absolutely no interest in this kind of interview, unless it is an interview with the central bank.

However, the central bank has never expressed any attitude towards this kind of news, so some relevant official media only released some articles and videos, and by the way, popularized the Riemann hypothesis to people, and then did not initiate an interview with him.

Of course, the people around him are still very interested in this matter.

Many people in the Science Island Laboratory expressed their interest in watching the incident and asked him about his opinion on the matter. However, Xiao Yi just told them in a bad mood not to ask so many questions.

Then the teachers and students in the school expressed their concern about this matter and asked him about it specifically during class. He didn't say anything, but just said that he would always pay attention to their midterm exam results and asked them to be careful.

Until one day Luo Mingya asked him.

"So, why haven't you responded to them yet?"

Science Island Laboratory, Xiao Yi's office.

He was operating something on the computer, while Luo Mingya asked while making tea on the sofa next to him.

Xiao Yi didn't say anything, just operated on the computer.

Not hearing his response, Luo Mingya finally picked up a cup of tea, then came to Xiao Yi's side and placed it on the desk.

Then he walked behind him and pinched his shoulders: "Why don't you speak?"

However, at this time, Xiao Yi hit enter on the keyboard and said, "Okay, I have responded."

Then he picked up the tea beside him, took a sip, and exclaimed: "I didn't expect you could make Gongfu tea."

Luo Mingya asked in confusion: "You responded? What did you respond to?"

Xiao Yi put down the teacup in his hand and pointed at the screen. "Well, this paper is my response."

Luo Mingya leaned over and took a look. The screen showed the backend of Xiao Yi's personal website, and he had just uploaded a new paper.

"Analysis and Extended Application of Elliptic Recurve?"

Luo Mingya read out the name of the paper.

"Well, this paper is my summary of my new method. Since they got inspiration from my new method, they want to use this method to try to prove the Riemann hypothesis."

"Then I will bring out all my current research on this method. This way, we are now completely on the same starting line."

"As for the rest, it all depends on your ability."

Xiao Yi said calmly.

Of course, the confidence in his tone represents his attitude towards this challenge.

That is totally irrelevant.

Luo Mingya turned her head and looked at Xiao Yi.

Because she had just been looking at the computer screen from behind, when she turned her head, the distance between their eyes was quite close.

"I believe you can succeed." Luo Mingya said softly.

Xiao Yi smiled and said, "Thank you for your trust."

At this moment, there was a knock on the office door.

Wang Hao's voice came from outside: "Director Xiao."

Luo Mingya immediately realized that the atmosphere was a bit strange and quickly stood up straight.

"Please come in."

Xiao Yi turned and looked towards the office door.

Wang Hao opened the door and entered. He was slightly stunned when he saw the scene inside. Professor Luo was actually standing behind Professor Xiao.

If he saw it correctly, when he came in, Professor Luo seemed to have taken his hand away from Director Xiao's shoulder?
But he quickly came to his senses. As an assistant, he should not pay attention to such things. Then he said, "It is our Anhui Provincial TV station that wants to interview you about the Riemann hypothesis."

Xiao Yi waved his hand and said, "Rejected. I reject all interviews on this matter, no matter which media it is."

"Okay." Wang Hao nodded, then quickly left the office.
