"Forget it, let's print it out and let the teacher see it!"
David had a wry smile on his face and quickly began to print out the paper in front of him.
He soon came to the tutor's office.
"Tutor, the arxiv paper has been printed out!"
"Put it aside!"
Professor Witten was concentrating on his work and completely ignored what David was saying. At this time, David's face was very serious. He said to Professor Witten in front of him: "Professor, for this paper, I hope you can now
Just take a look! Because it’s very important!”
After hearing his student's words, Professor Witten slowly raised his head and glanced at the serious David in front of him.
With a hint of curiosity in his eyes, he took the paper from the table next to him.
When he saw Professor Cheng Hao's paper, Professor Witten's expression suddenly became serious.
He continued to look down.
title.
[Proof of Riemann Hypothesis]
Professor Witten's eyes suddenly showed a strong light. Professor Cheng proved the Riemann Hypothesis??? This is a big deal!
Thinking of this, Professor Witten began to quickly browse the paper in front of him, very quickly, and quickly browsed the paper in front of him.
But soon, Professor Witten's speed in reading the paper slowed down. David on the side looked at Professor Witten in front of him curiously. He was curious whether Professor Cheng had solved the Riemann Hypothesis.
If Professor Cheng really proved the Riemann Hypothesis...
Moreover, Professor Cheng just solved the problem of controllable nuclear fusion a few days ago, so when did he solve the Riemann Hypothesis???
Is this person really that powerful?
David's eyes were filled with wonder.
Although he was very curious, David did not rush Professor Witten.
Professor Witten stayed on the table for two hours.
He was writing and drawing with the pen and paper in his hand.
After calculating for a while, Professor Witten put down his pen and raised his head.
At this time, David on the side looked forward to Professor Witten in front of him with expectant eyes and curiously asked: "Professor, has he proved it???"
Professor Witten shook his head.
"I don't know, at least I can't find anything wrong with it, and I have many questions to ask Cheng Hao."
At this time, Europe.
Faltings was also reminded by his own students. When he saw Cheng Hao's paper, he looked at the paper in front of him with a serious face.
If someone else said that he had proved the Riemann Hypothesis, Faltings might not even care, but there is no way to prove that the person who proved the Riemann Hypothesis is Cheng Hao!
This is why Faltings doesn’t pay attention to it!
France, in a remote hospital.
Professor Deligne looked at the emaciated teacher in front of him, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes. According to the nurse, his teacher may only have a few months left to live at most.
In his mind, he couldn't help but recall the heroic appearance of his previous teacher when he was young. At that time, the teacher was the most famous mathematical genius in the world.
at the moment……
Why!
Professor Deligne sighed slightly in his heart.
"Deligne, have all my students left the United States now??"
At this moment, Professor Grothendieck on the hospital bed said to Professor Deligne with a trembling voice.
"Teacher, they have all left the United States. Some have gone to China to teach, and some have returned to their hometowns. They have all left!"
Professor Deligne said quickly.
In fact, he still has many senior brothers who want to come and see Grothendieck.
But they were all rejected by Grothendieck, but Deligne did not want to leave Professor Grothendieck's bed no matter what, so he had no choice but to keep him.
"That's good! That's good!"
Professor Grothendieck nodded.
At this moment, one of Deligne's students walked into the ward.
"Professor! Professor! Something big happened!"
After hearing what the student said, Professor Deligne frowned and said to the student in front of him: "If anything happens, let's talk about it after we go out!"
"What's going on?"
Professor Grothendieck asked the students beside him curiously.
The student glanced at Professor Deligne, who was frowning next to him, and he hesitated for a moment.
"Professor Cheng just uploaded a paper on arxiv! He said he had proved the Riemann Hypothesis!"
The student in front of him said excitedly to Professor Deligne with a look of shock in his eyes.
After hearing the student's words, Professor Deligne's expression changed slightly and he stood up.
"real??"
"Yes! I have already printed out the paper!"
The student quickly said to Professor Deligne in front of him.
"Come and take a look!"
At this time, Professor Grothendieck, who was on the bed next to him, also excitedly said to the students beside him.
At this time, Professor Deligne in front of him hesitated for a moment, looked at Professor Grothendieck in front of him and said: "Teacher, your health is not very good now. You should wait for me to verify it before showing it to you. It will not consume you much."
It would be too big..."
"It's okay! I know my body very well, show me! At least I can do something before I die! I'm afraid I won't be alive for a few days anyway!"
Professor Grothendieck said to Professor Deligne in front of him with a smile on his face.
"teacher……"
Professor Deligne's eyes flashed with crystal tears as he looked at Professor Grothendieck in front of him.
"Silly boy, why are you feeling so uncomfortable?? People are bound to die! At my age, I am almost going to die! Is there any difference between a few years earlier and a few years later?"
Professor Grothendieck's tone was a little weak, but he still had a smile on his face and looked at Professor Deligne in front of him.
"Okay! Bring the paper over and show it to me!"
At this time, Professor Grothendieck said to Professor Deligne in front of him.
Professor Deligne hesitated for a moment and handed the paper over, and the teacher and student began to read the paper in front of them together.
The paper in front of them was very long, and the two of them read it quickly at first, but soon, their speed also slowed down.
After watching for more than an hour, both of them stopped.
At this time, Professor Grothendieck looked at Professor Deligne in front of him with a hint of wonder in his eyes.
"Sure enough! My feeling is correct. Professor Cheng is indeed the most talented person in mathematics in the world! Although I have not done rigorous calculations, from what I have seen, the logic of this paper is
There are no problems! And it uses a lot of groundbreaking algorithms! It’s really amazing! It’s amazing!”
Professor Grothendieck's eyes were full of admiration.
