The top student must be diligent.

Chapter 289 Riemann Hypothesis Report

A few more days passed.

It was September and the list of candidates for the new term of academicians came out. Just as Liu Cong said that day, Xiao Yi was on the list of academicians of the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering.

For a time, it caused a lot of discussion on the domestic Internet.

After all, many netizens have been asking before why their God Xiao has not become an academician yet.

At least, compared with the academicians elected in previous times, Xiao Yi's value is undoubtedly much higher.

Each of those achievements can be regarded as top-notch. Even though he is only in his twenties, he is obviously qualified to receive the honor of academician.

And now, it's finally here.

And there are academicians of both academies.

Of course, Xiao Yi’s achievements are fully capable of making him an academician of both academies.

Academicians of the Academy of Sciences mainly refer to those with achievements in various natural sciences. Needless to say, Xiao Yi's achievements in natural sciences are numerous. His achievements in mathematics alone are enough to make him an academician of the Academy of Sciences' Department of Mathematics and Physics.

Academicians are also divided into different departments. The Academy of Sciences includes the Department of Mathematics and Physics, the Department of Chemistry, the Department of Life Sciences and Medicine, etc.

The Academy of Engineering also has its own divisions.

Therefore, Xiao Yi appeared on the candidate list of the Department of Mathematics and Physics of the Academy of Sciences and the Department of Energy and Mining Engineering of the Academy of Engineering.

Of course, it is not certain whether he really belongs to these two departments. After all, he has made remarkable achievements in chemistry, so he is not incompatible with the Chemistry Department of the Academy of Sciences.

Secondly, there is the Department of Chemical Engineering, Metallurgy and Materials Engineering of the Academy of Engineering. With Xiao Yi's various achievements in materials, it is not impossible for him to join this department.

Probably, when considering which department he should join, the leaders of the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering also thought about it carefully.

However, the final list of additional candidates will not be finalized until November, so people quickly put aside their attention on this matter and continued to focus on another more important matter.

This is the conclusion of the Riemann hypothesis.

As some time has passed, the mathematics community has basically reached a preliminary conclusion on Xiao Yi's paper.

There are no particularly obvious errors for the time being, but there is still a lack of understanding of some of the methods, and Xiao Yi needs to explain these issues in more detail.

To put it simply, they wanted Xiao Yi to give a lecture and answer some of their questions.

As the Riemann hypothesis, it is certainly worth holding a special lecture.

This is also the standard procedure after any major achievement in mathematics.

All mathematicians also hope that such a lecture will help them better understand Xiao Yi’s current achievements.

So, these mathematicians began to call on Xiao Yi to hold such a lecture to answer questions and resolve doubts in the mathematics community.

In this way, under the urging of many mathematicians, Xiao Yi finally responded.

He will hold a lecture on the Riemann hypothesis in Fei City on November 11, and invite all mathematicians from all over the world who are interested in proving the Riemann hypothesis to come here to attend the lecture on the Riemann hypothesis.

As for the specific location of the lecture, it was the same place where he held the lecture on the proof of the existence and smoothness of solutions to the NS equations.

Anyway, there is no other place in Fei City that can host such a large-scale international academic conference. Since the original location is useful, we will keep it there.

As the news spread, the mathematics community was shaken again.

As a result, a few days before November 11st, all flights to Fei City from all over the world were booked out.

Of course, the Chinese government also quickly made corresponding preparations and provided a lot of conveniences for the mathematicians who planned to attend Xiao Yi's lecture, so that they could arrive in Fei City on time and conveniently.

The last time Xiao Yi proved the NS equation, it was only the Huizhou and Feicheng municipal governments that used their connections to facilitate the holding of the conference. This time, even the national government began to facilitate this matter.

All major international airports in the country are ready to welcome this group of international mathematicians, and will be able to ensure that these mathematicians arrive safely at the International Conference Center in Fei City.

China has always acted in a manner consistent with a great power in matters of this kind.

……

Max Planck Institute for Mathematics, Bonn, Germany.

In the director's office, Peter Schultz looked at the message on his mobile phone, and then his eyes lit up.

"He finally announced that he would hold a report meeting!"

He said with surprise.

There is another person in the office, Gerd Faltings.

As a veteran mathematician in the mathematics field, Faltings is 74 years old this year.

However, most mathematicians will not give up their interest in mathematics when they are old. After all, in the eyes of many of them, if you don’t understand mathematics, you are no different from a monkey. The same is true for Faltings.

So he didn't want to one day become the monkey he once despised.

“Who announced it?”

Looking at Schultz's excited expression, he asked puzzledly.

"Who else could it be? Of course it's Xiao Yi!"

Schultz asked, "Do you think I'd be excited about someone else giving a talk at a time like this?"

Faltings shrugged and said, "Who knows? After all, a lecture doesn't necessarily have to be a math lecture."

Then he asked, "Where did you get the news?"

"Of course it's online." Schultz said, "He just announced on his personal website that he will hold a seminar on the Riemann hypothesis on November 11st, at the same place where he held the seminar on the proof of the NS equation last time."

"Tsk tsk~" He couldn't help but sigh: "That place is really lucky to be able to enjoy two top lectures in the mathematics world in succession."

"The NS equation and the Riemann hypothesis are the most frequently mentioned problems among the seven problems of the millennium, right? They are also the top two stars among the seven problems."

Faltings smiled and said, "That Fei City should be thanked the most. It allowed Xiao Yi to be born there, and Xiao Yi is a person who misses his hometown. Otherwise, it would not have much to do with it."

"Yeah." Schultz nodded in agreement.

Even he did not stay in his hometown to develop.

But the main reason is that his hometown does not have an environment suitable for his development.

Well……

However, the country of China where Xiao Yi is located does not seem to be an environment suitable for the development of any mathematician, but he still chooses to take root there.

In the end, Schultz gave up the idea of ​​comparing himself with Xiao Yi. This guy was not someone he should compare himself with.

He stayed in Bonn because there were some of the most powerful mathematicians in Germany, and he was able to gain inspiration through communicating with them.

As for Xiao Yi, wherever he stays, there are the best mathematicians in the world. Why would he need to communicate?

Xiao Yi could think of everything they could think of, and he could also think of things they couldn't think of.

So Xiao Yi has always been right, while they are constantly exploring in the repetition of right and wrong, and always choose the wrong path.

Thinking of this, he suddenly sighed in boredom. Riemann hypothesis.

Is this really the end?

He once dreamed of the day when he successfully proved the Riemann hypothesis.

Even though he has not succeeded until now, he has never given up on this matter.

Until some time ago when he learned that Xiao Yi suddenly proved the Riemann hypothesis, he never had such a dream again.

Thinking of this, he sighed deeply.

If he had read Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he would probably sigh and say, "Since Yi was born, why was Ci born?"

At this time, Faltings next to him heard his sigh and laughed and teased: "Young man, don't sigh all the time. What are you thinking about?"

"I'm not a young man at all." Schultz retorted, and then said, "I'm just sighing. Is it a kind of bad luck for us to be in the same era as Xiao Yi?"

Faltings burst out laughing immediately.

"Hahahaha!"

Schultz said unhappily, "Why are you laughing? Isn't that what you think in your heart?"

"Why should I think so? Xiao Yi and I are not from the same generation." Faltings shrugged and said with a smile.

Schultz was immediately deflated.

When he asked in vain.

Then, Faltings said, "But then again, when you reach my age, you will be grateful for meeting a scientist like Xiao Yi during your lifetime. This means that when you die, you will be able to enjoy the achievements that Xiao Yi has brought to the mathematical world as much as possible. In this way, you won't have to go to see God with regrets."

"Oh! Maybe, when you go to see God, you will find that God is Xiao Yi."

"Come on." Schultz curled his lips and said, "I don't want you to come to me secretly one day while I am still enjoying the fun of studying mathematics in heaven and tell me that God has published a new paper, which happens to be the problem I was trying to solve at the time."

Faltings couldn't hold it in anymore and started coughing from laughing.

Schultz just kept looking at him and laughing, and finally said, "Well, I'm going to book a flight to China, what about you?"

Faltings patted his chest to calm himself down a little, and finally nodded and said, "Of course, no matter what, I also pursued the Riemann hypothesis for many years when I was young. Now, I also want to see for myself whether this problem is really over."

"it is good."

Schultz nodded, but finally said: "But whether the Riemann hypothesis is really over or not, there are still so many unsolved problems in our mathematics, so we will never lack problems to pursue."

“Who knows, there may be some new and important problems that will arise soon, waiting for our solution?”

"That's your business." Faltings waved his hand.

……

The same scene is also happening in the offices of many mathematicians.

When most mathematicians learned that Xiao Yi was going to hold a lecture on the Riemann hypothesis, they were very happy, but then they seemed to start acting like emo and fell into thinking about their own mathematical life.

After all, it is normal for them to feel confused when facing a mathematician like Xiao Yi.

This is especially true for mathematicians who regard the Riemann hypothesis as their lifelong goal.

There are quite a few people like this.

Many of them wanted to emulate Andrew Wiles, who, in order to prove Fermat's Last Theorem, spent years studying this problem as if in seclusion, and did not tell anyone what they were studying.

But now, this issue is regarded by them as their life goal, and it has become a thing of the past just one year after Xiao Yi aimed at it.

For them, this was like bad news, destroying their years of hard work.

As for whether they can finally get out of this mentality, it all depends on themselves.

It was naturally impossible for Xiao Yi to control them.

After all, there is no Doctor Strange in this world who can make everyone forget that he proved the Riemann hypothesis.

Just like that, time passed quietly.

More than a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Time has come to November 11st.

Today is the day when the Riemann hypothesis report meeting begins.

Posters have been posted at the entrance of Anhui International Conference Center.

[The Riemann hypothesis proof report meeting will be officially held on November 11st! 】

[The ultimate conjecture in mathematics, the proof of the Riemann hypothesis report! ]

[I wish Professor Xiao Yi's lecture a complete success! ]

……

Various posters demonstrate the influence of this conference.

At nine o'clock in the morning, many foreign faces had already appeared at the entrance of the conference center.

Of course, there are also many Chinese faces.

There were quite a few media outlets standing on the stairs, both foreign and domestic. These reporters were holding microphones with various logos on them, looking for people who looked like mathematicians to interview.

For example, as one of the top mathematicians among Chinese, Shing-Tung Yau is currently being interviewed by a CCTV reporter.

"Mr. Qiu, what do you think of Professor Xiao Yi?"

Faced with this question, Qiu Chengtong answered without hesitation: "Genius, absolute genius."

"He has a talent that no one can imagine. If the range of talent can be defined, then the talent of an ordinary mathematician may be a range of exact values. But as for Xiao Yi... I can only say that the upper limit of his talent can only be defined by positive infinity. As for the lower limit, it is an unknown number."

The reporter continued to smile and asked: "So, do you think Professor Xiao Yi's proof was successful?"

Qiu Chengtong smiled and said, "My answer to this question is: 100% success."

"Of course, I think most of the mathematics community thinks this way. You may not know what the common opinion of the mathematics community is about Xiao Yi. Now let me tell you."

“He is the real God of mathematics!”

"That's it."

Then, Qiu Chengtong looked at his watch and said, "Okay, let's end the interview here. I have to go in. You can keep an eye on the results of the report. Then you will know whether I am right or not."

Then he waved and walked into the conference center.
