Holding a cup of tea, Xu Chuan flipped through the papers in his hand.
Although it is a pity that this paper did not make a new breakthrough in the non-trivial zero-point distribution of the Riemann Hypothesis, its research ideas and directions are indeed novel.
Using the precise form of the phase function tlogn implied by the Dirichlet function, a key phase matrix n^(it)=e^(itlogn) is raised to the sixth power.
The stationary phase method is not used to simplify the Fourier integral, by dividing the problem into three situations where the additive energy E(W) is small, medium, and large, and each different situation is handled by changing the parameters.
Xu Chuan had indeed never thought of this method of processing, and it was a great inspiration to his research on mathematics, especially analytic number theory.
"However, the style of this paper seems somewhat familiar, especially the application of the sieve method, which is very interesting."
Looking through the paper in his hand, Xu Chuan had a look of interest in his eyes.
I don’t know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that the mathematical methods used in this paper were a bit familiar.
He may not be an acquaintance, but he must have read this scholar's papers carefully.
After all, for scholars like them who are already at the top of the academic world, most of them have their own areas of expertise and habitual methods for dealing with certain problems.
In addition, there are also some unique styles in terms of words, sentences, style, etc. when writing papers.
Although the review invitation for "New Advances in Mathematics" is double-blind, in principle the reviewers cannot see the names of the contributors, and the contributors do not know who is reviewing their papers.
But there are actually many ways to determine who submitted the manuscript.
Whether you are looking for acquaintances to find out who is currently researching difficult problems in related fields, or looking for preprint websites like Arxiv to see if there are corresponding papers.
After all, in recent years, perhaps due to his influence, many scholars, especially in the fields of mathematics and physics, have the habit of posting papers on Arxiv or other preprint websites before formally submitting them.
With some curiosity, Xu Chuan shouted: "Xiao Ling, help me search arxiv and similar preprint websites to see if there is a paper like "New Large Value Estimation Based on Dirichlet Polynomials" or something similar.
thesis."
"receive!"
"Looking hard~, haha(o?v?)ノ"
In the lower right corner of the display screen, a chat box that was originally hidden popped up, with the text on it jumping.
Soon, new replies jumped.
"Found it, Master! There is an identical paper on the Arxiv preprint website."
"So fast?"
Xu Chuan asked in surprise. It only took five or six seconds to find it?
"Of course, I'm great, right? Master!"
"Awesome, you are the best."
Xu Chuan smiled and complimented casually, then asked: "Who is the author of the paper?"
The pop-up box jumped a bit, and Xiaoling's reply came quickly.
"Shy face covering.JPG, the authors of the paper are Professor James Maynard from the University of Oxford in the UK and Professor Larry Guth from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States."
Looking at the names in the chat box, Xu Chuan suddenly understood.
No wonder he felt that the paper was familiar but not an acquaintance. It turned out to be Professor Maynard.
James Maynard was a scholar who was supposed to win the Fields Medal at the 2018 International Congress of Mathematicians, but because of his appearance, he was squeezed out of that session.
However, at the 2022 National Congress of Mathematicians, he successfully won the Fields Medal that was originally his.
No wonder he found the style of the paper somewhat familiar.
Professor Maynard's research in the field of analytic number theory, especially the sieve method and prime numbers, is quite advanced.
Like the famous Peter Schulz, James Maynard is also a famous teenage genius.
As early as his Ph.D., he developed a new sieve method to detect prime numbers in bounded length intervals. This method was later used to solve Paul Erdos's conjecture about the large distance between prime numbers.
.
I have to say, this world is really small.
The paper he reviewed turned out to be from an acquaintance.
Looking at the name that popped up in the chat box, Xu Chuan chuckled and shook his head.
Unexpectedly, Maynard also jumped into the super pit of Riemann Hypothesis.
But it’s normal to think about it. After all, he is a top scholar in analytic number theory, and the Riemann Hypothesis is undoubtedly the biggest problem in this field. It is normal for his eyes to focus on this.
After all, four of the seven millennium problems have been solved, and the remaining three are even more precious.
Just when Xu Chuan was about to search for Maynard's recently published papers, there was suddenly a knock on the office, and an unexpected person walked in from outside.
"Haha, Academician Xu, long time no see."
Hearing this familiar voice, Xu Chuan looked up, a little surprised, and said with a smile: "Long time no see, Gao Ting."
The person who came was none other than Gao Hongming, the former director of the Science and Technology Strategic Planning Department, who should have been promoted now.
The two have worked together for several years. When he returned to China to carry out the "Nuclear Energy Beta Radiation Energy Concentration and Conversion Electric Energy Mechanism Project" and the "Controllable Nuclear Fusion Project", it was Gao Hongming who cooperated with him.
After the later controllable nuclear fusion project was completed, it was Wen Yuanhang who succeeded him.
"Yes, we haven't seen each other for almost two years." Gao Hongming said with a smile: "The last time we met was when the Haixi aircraft carrier was launched."
Xu Chuan called to the assistant room outside and asked Tang Ran to help make two cups of tea. He then said with a smile: "The Haixi... there shouldn't be any big problems with the current operation, right?"
This is an aircraft carrier that has been converted from conventional power to nuclear fusion power. The transformation project is neither big nor small.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! However, this is the first time that a fusion reactor has been put on a ship.
Gao Hongming said with a smile: "Problem? What problem can there be? The Haixi is on display now. It even sailed to the Mediterranean some time ago."
"Mediterranean Sea? What are you doing there?" Xu Chuan asked curiously.
Gao Hongming smiled and said: "It's nominally to protect our shipping, but it's been a bit chaotic over there recently, you know."
Xu Chuan suddenly nodded, nodded with a smile, and said: "Understood."
After chatting for a while and drinking a cup of tea, Gao Hongming saw that the time was almost up, so he did not waste any more time. He smiled and said, "I came here mainly because I have project work."
As he spoke, he took out a document from the briefcase he carried with him and handed it over.
Xu Chuan took it and took a look, with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "You decided so quickly?"
The document Gao Hongming handed him was nothing else, but the project he had written to him some time ago.
Instructions and plans for the "Lunar Orbital Mass Projector Project".
Gao Hongming smiled and said: "Well, yes, after high-level discussions, the lunar orbital mass projector project was officially approved. It is directly controlled by the National Academy of Sciences, led by the Science and Technology Institute, and developed and constructed by the Xinghai Research Institute. I am responsible for coordinating the relevant
Work, this is also the main purpose of my coming here this time."
Xu Chuan turned over the information in his hand and said with a smile: "I didn't expect to be able to cooperate with Gao Ting again."
Gao Hongming smiled and said, "I'm looking forward to it too."
After chatting for a while about the Lunar Orbital Mass Projector project, Gao Hongming remembered another thing, found another document from his briefcase, and handed it over.
"By the way, Academician Xu, I have one more thing to trouble you when I come here this time. Please take a look at this document first."
Hearing this, Xu Chuan took the document with some curiosity, and the title caught his eye.
"Feasibility Demonstration of Ultra-high-speed Precision Strike Electromagnetic Railgun Technology"
His eyes paused on the title for a while, Xu Chuan raised his head, looked at Gao Hongming, and asked with a smile: "You don't want me to do this, do you?"
Gao Hongming smiled and said: "No, no, how is it possible?"
"This is something produced by the Naval Equipment Department and the Academy of Sciences. However, the higher-ups are not very sure about the feasibility of this project, so they asked me to bring it over. I want you to take a look at it."
Xu Chuan glanced at him, sighed and said, "No need to beat around the bush, just tell the truth. What problems have you encountered that you want me to help you solve?"
Hearing this, Gao Hongming smiled, rubbed his head and said sheepishly: "Then I'll just tell you."
After thinking for a while, he continued: "Using electromagnetic tracks or electromagnetic coils to complete the initial speed increase of kinetic energy weapons can greatly increase the speed of missiles or weapons and effectively enhance national defense capabilities."
"As for the technology in this document, experts from the Naval Equipment Department and the Academy of Sciences have already demonstrated it, and the feasibility is still relatively high."
"However, relevant experts said that when electromagnetic orbits or electromagnetic coils are operating, because at extremely high speeds, the aerospace structure will be surrounded by a plasma shell, and the plasma shell is composed of atomic nuclei and electrons in a separated state.
It has high conductivity, so it will cause interference to electromagnetic transmission... This will cause great damage to related control, guidance, communication and other equipment, affecting normal operation.
Gao Hongming worked hard to memorize a whole section of the question words told to him by experts from the top of the technology field. His face turned red and he took several deep breaths to calm down, and then said:
"I'm not very clear about the specific situation and problems. After all, I'm not an expert in this field. But it's written in this report. Why don't you take a look first?"
Xu Chuan's eyes moved. When Gao Hongming said these words, he knew what the problem Gao Hongming was talking about without even looking at the document.
To put it simply, it is the 'guidance problem' and 'track ablation problem' that arise when the electromagnetic gun is launched.
Both are caused by magnetic fields, and are the two biggest problems in the practical application of electromagnetic rail guns.
As for the research on magnetic fields, he said he is second in the country, but I am afraid no one dares to claim first.
