Chapter 19 I Did Prove the BSD Conjecture

Pierre Deligne, who works at Princeton University and Princeton Institute of Advanced Studies, is a winner of the Fields Medal, Crafford, Wolf Medal, Abel Prize Grand Slam, and a representative figure of the Grothendieck School. He has profound attainments in the fields of algebraic geometry and number theory. He ranks among the top three of the current mathematicians.

"Tao, have you proved the BSD conjecture?" Delinie smiled slightly surprised.

"No, it's not me, it's one of my students Pang Xuelin. You should still have an impression of him. The reviewer is you!"

Delinie was slightly stunned. He had heard of Pang Xuelin's name. In recent years, he has made certain achievements in analytical number theory and additive combinations. Especially the paper half a year ago, it has made another small step in proof of the BSD conjecture. It is a rising star in the mathematics world and has the potential of the Fields Medal in the future.

But if he could prove the BSD conjecture, Delinie was a little skeptical.

There are many mathematicians who have the potential to win the Fields Medal, but there are not many mathematicians with the ability to prove the level of the Seven Millennium Problems in the world.

In the past thirty years, in addition to Andrew Wiles, who proved the Fermat's Grand Theorem and Perelmann, who predicted the Poincaré's conjecture, have made revolutionary contributions to both the core problems in the two arithmetic geometry of Longlands and motive in recent years. Peter Schultz, known as the German god of academics, has shown similar potential.

Even the famous Tao Zhexuan is so bad.

The bsd conjecture is of great significance. Once it is proved, it means that a lot of related inferences in the fields of algebraic geometry and number theory will become theorems, which are of great significance to the development of algebraic geometry and number theory.

If Pang Xuelin proves the BSD conjecture, he will definitely book the next Fields Medal three years in advance, and there is no problem in competing for the Abel Prize at the beginning of next year.

"Tao, send me the paper first."

Deliniedao.

Tao Zhexuan laughed and said, "Okay, I'll send it to you right away. In addition, Pang has submitted his paper to the "Mathematics Annual". Maybe he will find you as a reviewer this time."

Delinie smiled and said, "That's right, if Pang really proves the BSD conjecture, it would be my honor to be the reviewer of this paper."

Then, Tao Zhexuan contacted Faltings, Andrew Wiles, John Coates, Kolivakin and other bigwigs in the mathematics industry, and asked them to help verify.

This is the benefit of having an awesome mentor. The deep-water bomb from the mathematics community left by Pang Xuelin had already caused a stir in the top circle of the mathematics community before it even began to explode.

And this wave will soon turn into a tsunami.

...

Pang Xuelin was confused about what happened in the mathematics community.

At 1:30 p.m., Pang Xuelin was woken up by the harsh ringtone of his cell phone.

Pang Xuelin opened his eyes in a daze, picked up his phone and looked at it. He quickly pressed the answer button and said, "Grandma, what's wrong?"

"Kobayashi, remember to go home for dinner tonight. Grandma has made you your favorite sweet and sour fish."

"Okay, grandma."

Pang Xuelin agreed immediately, chatted with his grandmother for a few more words, and then hung up the phone.

Afterwards, Pang Xuelin got up and washed up, changed his clothes, opened the door directly, and prepared to go to the cafeteria to eat something, and then go to his grandparents' house.

At this time, the door to Room 801 opposite was also opened.

"Professor Pang, such a coincidence, you are going out too." Qi Xin said with a smile when he saw Pang Xuelin.

"Hello, Qi... Qi Xin, long time no see!" Pang Xuelin thought for a long time before recalling the name of his beautiful neighbor.

After staying in the Three-Body World for more than three months, he almost lost his impression of Qi Xin.

"Long time no see?" Qi Xin was slightly stunned, "Didn't we meet yesterday?"

Pang Xuelin suddenly reacted and smiled awkwardly, "Sorry, I remembered it wrong..."

“…”

Qi Xin didn't know how to go back. Are the so-called geniuses so weird?

After chatting with Qi Xin for a few words, the two went downstairs together and said goodbye to each other.

After eating in the cafeteria, Pang Xuelin drove to the retired teacher's apartment on Yuquan Road Campus of Jiangcheng University.

It is said that it is an apartment, but it is actually small villas, which are specially distributed to some senior retired professors of Jiangcheng University. Pang Xuelin's grandfather Pang Shaoan lives there.

Pang Shaoan is a professor in the Department of Mathematics of Jiangcheng University and studied under the famous mathematician Mr. Chen Jiangong. To a certain extent, he was the heir to the Jiang University School (Differential Geometry School), one of the three major schools of mathematics in the world.

In 1952, the Department of College and Department of Mathematics of Jiangda was incorporated into Fudan. A large number of teachers and students from Jiangda led by Chen Jiangong and Su Buqing entered Shanghai. As a result, the Fudan school was born in the Chinese mathematics community and has continued to this day.

In 1956, Mr. Chen Jiangong was transferred back to Jiangcheng and served as vice president of Jiang University.

It was at that time that Pang Shaoan was admitted to Jiangda and became a student of Mr. Chen Jiangong.

After graduation, Pang Shaoan stayed at school to teach, but he never left Guojiang University until he retired.

Pang Shaoan had always had the dream of reviving the Jiang University School in his heart, but after the adjustment of the department of Jiang University, his vitality was severely damaged and he was unable to rank in the domestic mathematics community.

In addition, the domestic mathematics community has been full of chaos in recent years, Pang Shaoan gradually gave up.

Until his grandson Pang Xuelin showed outstanding mathematical talent since childhood, Pang Shaoan focused on Pang Xuelin.

Over the years, Pang Shaoan has spared no effort to cultivate his grandson, and Pang Xuelin has not disappointed him. From the imo gold medal in high school to the doctoral degree, he has gained fame in the international mathematics community and has become one of the most outstanding mathematicians in the Chinese youth generation.

Now that Pang Xuelin returns to Jiangda to teach, he inherits Pang Shaoan's legacy.

Pang Xuelin carried half of the watermelon he bought on the road and entered the small courtyard where Pang Shaoan lived.

Under the grape trellis in the courtyard, Pang Shaoan was playing chess with Professor Yao Jianzhong who lives next to him.

Yao Jianzhong is a theoretical physicist, mainly engaged in the research of quantum field theory and fundamental particle physics theory. He once determined the upper mass limit of fundamental particle top quarks with his collaborators and found that the three coupling constants of weak and strong electricity were unified under the supersymmetry framework, laying the foundation for accurate testing of standard models and exploring new physics, and is well-known internationally.

He and Pang Shaoan have been friends for decades. They have been working in Jiangda. After retirement, they have nothing to do, so they play chess with Pang Shaoan from time to time, and occasionally make an appointment with Pang Shaoan and his wife to go out for a trip.

Seeing Pang Xuelin coming in, Yao Jianzhong smiled and said, "Xiaolin, you're here. How did you do during this period? Are you used to going back to Jiangda? I heard that Lao Liu has commented on you as a doctoral supervisor and professor. Professor Jiangdazheng, 23, is probably the only one in China."

Pang Xuelin smiled and said, "Hello Grandpa Yao, I'm fine, but I'm still late this year and have passed the final enrollment period for doctoral students, so Dean Liu asked me to teach undergraduate students abstract algebra classes first."

Pang Shaoan, who was standing beside him, said: "This is a good thing. Don't think that being a professor can be lazy. Now there is a bad atmosphere in domestic universities. They think that professors can do scientific research well and publish papers. The teaching work can be handed over to their graduate students or lecturers. This is a very bad phenomenon. These graduate students and lecturers themselves are not sure about the content of the textbooks, so how can they pass on their profession and answer questions to students, let alone impart cutting-edge knowledge. Colleges and universities are training talents, and professors are set up to cultivate talents. Teaching and educating people is a natural task, so you must not be clever."

"Grandpa, I understand!"

Yao Jianzhong smiled and said, "Old Pang, you still like to preach. Xiaolin, don't listen to him. Now is the time when your academic vitality is the most vigorous, so you still have to do research. I heard from Lao Pang that you have recently been in a bottleneck in your research on the BSD conjecture. If you really have no clue, you can consider changing directions and putting the BSD conjecture first. Sometimes, the combination of work and rest is the most important thing in scientific research. Maybe you will have inspiration one day."

Pang Shaoan also said, "Xiaolin, your Grandpa Yao is right. BSD guessing such a topic is too difficult. If you really have no clue, it is time for you to consider changing directions."

Pang Xuelin laughed a little embarrassedly. Just as he was about to say that he had solved the BSD conjecture, his cell phone ringtone suddenly rang, and the caller ID was Liu Tingbo, Dean of the School of Mathematics of Jiangcheng University.

"Grandpa, I'll answer the phone first."

As he said that, Pang Xuelin pressed the answer button.

Liu Tingbo's surprised voice came from the other end of the phone: "Xiao Pang, have you proved that BSD's guess?"

"Director Liu, how do you know?"

Pang Xuelin was slightly stunned. It was less than ten hours after he uploaded the arxiv. Did the news come out so quickly?

Liu Tingbo said: "Jiu Chengtong called me just now and said that we, Jiang Da, have produced a genius, proved the BSD conjecture. I heard that Tao Zhexuan has initially verified your proof in the United States, and this incident also alarmed the big guys such as Faltings, Transnier, Andrew Wiles, and Arxiv are all excited. Mathematicians from all over the world are studying your papers. Tell me, how sure do you have to prove the BSD conjecture?"

Pang Xuelin said without hesitation: "100%!"

This is a proof given by the system. After being certified by hundreds of top mathematicians in another world, the entire proof process tends to be perfect. If there is really a problem, then there will be a ghost!

“…”

Liu Tingbo suddenly didn't know how to respond. Why did this kid say so much? You're 90% sure, maybe you'll believe you, but 100% of it, Liu Tingbo felt agitation in his heart.

"Xiao Pang, where are you now? I'll go find you now!"

Pang Xuelin said: "I'm here with my grandfather!"

"Okay, wait, I'll arrive right away!"

Pang Xuelin hung up the phone and ushered in two puzzles mixed with shocking gazes.

Pang Shaoan's mouth trembled slightly and said incrediblely: "Xiaolin, what did Liu Tingbo tell you just now? Did you prove the BSD conjecture?"
