Cole's prize ?!


Lu Zhou was stunned.


Soon after, he realized the problem.


"Wait a minute, isn't the Cole Prize only given to members of the Federal Mathematical Society?"


Professor Qiu knew that Lu Zhou would ask this question. So, he smiled and said, “The Princeton conference is organized by the Federal Mathematics Society. With the Best Young Speaker Award also came membership status. Therefore, you fully comply with the rules of appreciation. "


Lu Zhou never applied to join an association, but generally, the association would grant membership to the award winners, so this was common practice. The same happened with the Shiing-Shen Chern Mathematics Award.


Professor Qiu paused for a moment before he smiled and continued.


“... Nomination awards are completed in September, and elections are held in October. Official documents will be sent to your school in December. The awards conference will be held 2 days after Christmas. I think it was at the University of California. The Organizer will send you more details, so just check your email.Also, take this time to prepare your acceptance speech! "


Lu Zhou smiled.


She's a little embarrassed.


The official documents have not yet arrived, but you have already informed me. Isn't this a little weird?


He also wanted to ask how much prize money Cole was, but then he thought that academics should not be too concerned about money.


Therefore, he did not ask.


"I'll get ready!"


"Remember not to miss the awards ceremony," Professor Qiu said as he nodded. He then changed the subject when he casually said, “Conference later this year is quite high. Once you present your Group Structure Method there, more people will know about your research. "


"Is there a presentation after the awards ceremony?" Ask Lu Zhou.


“Of course, this is a convention.The award is actually the second part of the conference. It would be very beneficial for you to report at that conference, ” Professor Qiu said. He smiled and said, “But there are only two months left. I guess you won't have much to publish.Take this time for a break, and maybe go to California for a vacation. Also, take this opportunity to think about where you want to develop next ... Do you have a general idea? "


Lu Zhou said, "I want to dive deeper in prime numbers. I'm still not finding a destination.Do you have any good advice? "


Polignac's conjecture and Twin's main conjecture took him nearly a year to complete. His mind is still in the prime number room.


He wanted to pick a problem that would fill the void about prime numbers, but he didn't know what to choose.


There is also Brocar's proposition where he proposes that there are at least four prime numbers between the squares of two prime numbers. It also has high research value.


Although neither of these conjectures is as famous as Polignac's or the alleged main twin, it has a higher position in the world of mathematics.


These are just some of his choices.


“ Prime number research is a good field and is highly respected in the field of number theory. The distribution of prime numbers applies to many fields, such as cryptography and information technology, ” Professor Qiu said as he nodded. He then added, “Although I have not done much research on number theory, from my understanding, most people think filter theory has been pushed to its limits. "


The old man suddenly looked at Lu Zhou and proposed a bold idea.


"What if you challenge Goldbach's conjecture?"


The Goldbach conjecture ?!


Lu Zhou was stunned.


This…


This jump is too big!


Lu Zhou cautiously replied, "I think .. This conjecture is a bit too difficult for me. Maybe I'll try to attack when the time is right. ”


His mathematical level was at Level 4 now. This means expanding database access of systems and improving mathematical understanding and analytical skills.


Goldbach's conjecture is one of the three major modern mathematical problems.


Even though people were already close to finishing it, laying that last brick was not easy.


Otherwise, this conjecture would have been solved a long time ago.


"You misunderstood," Professor Qiu said as he shook his head. He said, “I'm not asking you to finish it right away. I'm just saying, try to hack it for a while ... "


“... Many mathematical guesses do not need to be proven to get significant research results. For example, when we studied Riemann's conjecture, we suddenly proved the prime number theorem. ”


“Similarly, sieve theory is just a sophisticated mathematical tool. Since you're smearing the main presumption of twins, you might as well try the Goldbach conjecture. I thought you could be inspired by it, ” Professor Qiu said.He suddenly smiled and said, "Professor Qiu, this is just my suggestion.The decision is still in your hands. "


After hearing Professor Qiu's reply, Lu Zhou began to consider it.


The old man's logic made sense. Moreover, Goldbach's conjecture had the potential to receive high experience points.


Lu Zhou thought for a moment before solemnly saying, "I will consider your suggestion!"
