Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Professor Grothendieck's tombstone was an inconspicuous corner of the cemetery, which was covered with dust and had not been visited for a long time.

He was no longer in contact with people since his later years. Except for a few friends who knew where he lived, most people didn't even know where he was buried.

According to the old priest, Grothendieck came here to pray almost every weekend except the last two months of his life.

Facing the old man's whispering mission, Lu Zhou simply nodded his head and placed the bouquet in front of the tombstone.

I sent a blessing to the great scholar in my own way, and thanked him for leaving the valuable information to himself. After receiving the landing boat, he turned and left here.

Not that he didn't want to stay here.

It was just that he really didn't want to be embarrassed by the director Giacbino, who stood there with a sad and deep expression.

In fact, there is nothing sad at all. It is natural for people to live, die, and die, and to choose the life they like to spend the rest of their lives. This is something many people envy. His seclusion was a great loss to the mathematics community, but for himself, it was probably a blessing.

After leaving the cemetery, Lu Zhou followed the old priest, went to his home near the church, and saw the rest of the materials in his garage.

The word "heap" is used because the information is really a lot, just like a small hill.

It is said that in the 18th century when academic exchanges were not well developed, European mathematicians mostly relied on correspondence and postscripts to "publish" research results. Lu Zhou did not expect that he could see such "primitive" communication methods in the 21st century.

Although these materials are put here in the form of a pile, it can be seen that the old man still took some effort to separate the drafts from the formal notes, and covered it with a layer of plastic cloth to block the dust.

Seeing that such a good copy of these notes were kept, Lu Zhou fulfilled his promise to donate a million euros symbolically to this church of St. Lizie, the right to be held for eight years as a document storage fee.

Regardless of how happy the old priest was because of this huge amount of money from the sky, Lu Zhou took out her mobile phone and called the school sister, asking her to help her to contact the local airlines that do logistics operations in Paris and entrust them to collect those books. After returning the draft to China, he boarded a car back to Paris.

The latter thing is very simple.

In the case of an unstoppable price from Starry Sky Technology, the commissioned aerospace company stepped on the heel of the landing boat and came to the town of Omits. Professionals were responsible for packaging and collection. After taking away those precious materials, they were sent to a special plane to Jinling that day, and no fighter **** was arranged.

Returning to the hotel in the evening, after rushing over the dinner in the cafeteria, Lu Zhou returned to the room, spread Professor Grothendieck's notes on the table, and opened the title page with interest.

"A problem that even Professor Grothendieck couldn't solve? Let me take a look ..."

According to rumors, before the retreat, Professor Grothendieck and his student Deligne had been working on the Riemann conjecture and its extension in the field of algebraic geometry, and the well-known Weil conjecture was during this period. Here is solved by Deligne.

If Professor Grothendieck was still studying mathematics after hermit, then there is a high probability that the problem he is studying is exactly the Riemann conjecture he has solved.

However, just when Lu Zhou thought that he would see a research note on Riemann's conjecture, the moment he touched the note, a strange color appeared in his eyes.

"……What is this?"

motive theory?

wrong!

Although abstract numbers are used, they are not the same thing as the motivation theory he knows more.

Continuing to look down, Lu Zhou turned a page, and soon found that what was recorded in this note was completely unexpected. This is not a Riemann conjecture at all, but ... a mathematical proposition he has never seen, or even heard of.

Among the first propositions, Professor Grothendieck has already given the proof method. As for the second proposition, it seems that he has not solved it.

Interested in this problem that trapped Professor Grothendieck, Lu Zhou picked up a ballpoint pen from the table, pulled a piece of draft paper, and used the unified theorem of algebraic geometry to make a simple transformation of Proposition 2.

However, the moment he finished this operation, looking at the results on the paper, the whole man was stunned.

Another formulation of Riemann's conjecture! ?

Quickly turned a few pages behind the note, and when he saw the later part, Lu Zhou was relieved.

"... apparently Professor Grothendieck did not prove it."

Maybe he already had a premonition based on his intuition. This proposition is actually a Riemann conjecture, but he did not give a reasonable proof.

After all, the unified theory of algebra and geometry was not solved until last year.

With a pencil, I made a tick at the position of Proposition 2 to indicate that the proposition had been solved by myself. Looking at the formula on this note, Lu Zhou was lost in thought.

"... It's definitely more than just some math problems."

These complex propositions are enough even to be published publicly as mathematical conjectures.

Leaving aside the academic value itself, at least in terms of difficulty, they are no less than the millennial puzzles, and are not like something one can accomplish at all.

Of course, this is exactly the problem.

Professor Grothendieck could make this note public if he wanted to get the answer.

Now that the Internet is so developed, even if he still resists publishing his research results, it can be published anonymously.

More people are not necessarily powerful, but the chance to solve problems is always greater than when one is thinking.

The tip of the pen was lightly tapped on the draft paper, and Lu Zhou's brow frowned slightly.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered a rumor.

According to Professor Grothendieck's former friends ~ www.readwn.com ~ In his later years, his spirit was quite unstable, and he could not extricate himself from the imagination of the devil.

For example, he believes that it is the devil that turned the value of the beautiful speed of light, which should be 300,000 kilometers per second, into an unsightly 299792.458 kilometers per second.

Although it's not clear why an outstanding mathematician would make such a basic mistake in weighing and weighing, most of it was for a reason if it wasn't for the friend's fabrication.

After that, the retired pope suddenly wrote a letter to his former student, Professor Iluci, in January 2010, announcing that all his texts published after he "disappeared" could not be reprinted. .

This incident caused a lot of turbulence at the time, because the two books, the Fundamentals of Algebraic Geometry and the Materials of the Seminar on Algebraic Geometry, which were revoked, can be said to be the Bible of the algebraic geometry community. Public distribution and translation will only make it more difficult for people to get them.

Recalling the text on the autograph letter to himself, Lu Zhou actually didn't quite believe that a mentally abnormal person could write those things.

He was more willing to believe that something must have happened to the scholar that was difficult for him to understand.

such as……

The pupil contracted slightly, and Lu Zhou suddenly thought of a possibility.

"... physics is the universal law, and mathematics is the universal language."

He repeatedly chewed the words heard from Dr. Lane and looked at the mathematical formulas in the notes. Lu Zhou felt that his thoughts were opened instantly, and the look in his pupils became brighter.

If his guess is correct.

This is indeed not a purely mathematical proposition ...

Instead, a language!
