The top student must be diligent.

Chapter 80 All Problems Solved
Xi Lan and Hu Guangde were full of doubts about the "new thing" that Xiao Yi mentioned.

However, when they wanted to ask, they saw Xiao Yi yawning, so they gave up and instead told him to go to bed and have a good rest.

After seeing off the two academicians, Xiao Yi yawned again.

"Ha~ huh, I only slept for four hours last night, I need to rest for another three hours."

Looking at the time, Xiao Yi thought so in his heart.

"But it was worth staying up all night last night."

All these days of hard work are worth it.

After receiving the email from Professor James Maynard about eight days ago, Xiao Yi's inspiration began to burst out. So every day that followed, he devoted all his energy to the study of the combination of far Abelian geometry and automorphic forms.

Until the most critical step three days ago, he did not go out of the house and sat in front of the table almost the entire day without leaving. It was not until almost five in the morning today that he fell into a deep sleep.

Sitting back at the desk, he sorted out the draft papers on the table one by one, and finally stacked them neatly into a stack.

There were about thirty pieces of paper in total, which condensed all his inspirations and thoughts over the past ten days.

The answers to the questions are all contained in these thirty or so pieces of paper.

I opened the Warwick laptop in front of me and unlocked it. A browser full of windows appeared, filled with various papers and materials.

But now they can all be closed.

Click the X in the upper right corner to turn off all of them at once, and then Xiao Yi plans to shut down the computer and go to sleep.

But before going to bed, he suddenly remembered that he had not replied to Professor James Maynard's email since his last email.

Let me write back to Professor Maynard first.

Thinking of this, he reopened his mailbox and wrote back to Professor Maynard.

[I'm sorry, Professor Maynard. I have been working on this issue based on the inspiration from your email. I am a little late in replying to this letter. I apologize.

However, I have solved all the problems, and you will see my good news soon! 】

Hit send, and go to bed!

……

University of Oxford, UK.

"Congratulations, Li Qiman, you have passed your doctoral dissertation defense. After discussion by the college, it has been decided to award you a doctorate in mathematics!"

"Congratulations!"

In a small classroom, Lichtman walked up to James Maynard with excitement on his face and received the certificate representing his doctorate degree from his mentor.

He bowed and thanked him: "Thank you, Professor! Thank you for all your help!"

"This is what you deserve. We all know that after hard work, you will always get corresponding rewards, right?" Maynard patted Lichtman on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Yes!" Li Qiman nodded heavily.

Maynard also felt a little emotional, thinking that he had once again sent away a doctoral student.

As he is only 33 years old this year, he has not supervised many doctoral students. He is still very pleased to see Li Qiman graduate.

However, according to the normal process, Li Qiman's graduation defense would not have been so fast. Everything changed because of the email sent by the talented young Chinese boy.

The issue is……

How come that guy named Xiao Yi hasn't replied to his email until today?
Thinking of this, he felt resentful. Even when he first submitted a paper to one of the four top mathematics journals and expected the editorial department to reply to his email saying "paper accepted", he never checked the email several times a day like he did in the past few days to see if the editorial department had replied.

That kid, you won’t forget to write him back, right?
For a moment, he wanted to go back and check his email.

So he said something to Lichtman, asking him to celebrate with his friends, and he left the classroom and returned to his office.

I hurriedly opened my mailbox and took a look.

A new email has been received.

His eyes suddenly widened and he quickly clicked on it, and then finally saw the familiar sender.

It was Xiao Yi’s email!
I finally waited for you, but fortunately I didn't give up.

Maynard burst into tears.

Sure enough, after hard work, you will always get corresponding results!
However, when he saw the content of the email, he froze again.

"Everything has been solved? What has been solved?"

“Is it the mysterious functor that Grothendieck mentioned, or is it the combination of far-Abelian geometry and automorphic forms?”

Maynard was desperate to know the answer.

"It's impossible that the Elliott-Halberstam conjecture has been proved?!"

However, no matter how he analyzed the words in Xiao Yi's email, he could not figure out what problem Xiao Yi was solving from the lines.
For a moment, his heart felt like it was being tickled.

There was no way. If he had only solved the mysterious functor problem raised by Grothendieck, he would not have cared so much. But what if Xiao Yi solved the problem of combining far Abelian geometry and automorphic forms?
As an expert in analytic number theory, he wanted to know the answer to this question very much, just like his character, "once you do it, you will never give up."

When he first started his doctoral studies, his advisor told him not to study prime numbers, as he would become unlucky.

But he still chose to challenge this peak, and as a result, he accidentally produced a lot of results.

Now, faced with something that might be considered a big deal for the entire number theory, he certainly wanted to know the answer.

He first sent an email to Xiao Yi, asking him what the “all the problems” he mentioned were, but after not receiving a reply for a long time, he began to search everywhere on the Internet.

For example, you can search on arxiv to see if there is any paper by Xiao Yi, or even search on domestic Chinese websites.

In the end, he really found some information related to Xiao Yi.

"Tomorrow, Xiao Yi will hold a report meeting in China?!"

"It's definitely too late to rush to China now."

Maynard thought about it for a moment, then immediately took out his cell phone and called a Chinese professor in their college.

Although he couldn't go to the scene in person, he wanted to see what Xiao Yi would say at the conference, even if it meant watching the live broadcast!
However, he seemed to have forgotten that Xiao Yi certainly did not use English when he gave his report in the country.

……

September 9th arrived as scheduled.

At the gate of the Basic Science Park of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, some young people would get off the cars from time to time and look at a huge poster placed at the gate with longing expressions.

On the poster was Xiao Yi and the topic of the report he would be talking about today.

The ABC Conjecture, Distant Abelian Geometry, and Automorphic Forms
