Chapter 214: It's Not Easy to Get You Out

Translator: Translated Henyee Editor:Translated Henyee


In fact, Helfgott was not the first to challenge Goldbach's conjecture. Once upon a time, a former Soviet mathematician, Vinogradov, proved that "when an odd number is large enough, it can be written as the sum of three prime numbers".


This is known as the "Goldbach Vinogradov's theorem" which is also known as the "prime number theorem".


Another former Soviet mathematician, Barrett King, defined "sizable odd numbers" as limits.


However, the number is 4 million digits.Even supercomputers cannot verify it.


In a 2013 Helfgott study, he ultimately reduced 4 million digits to 30 digits. The computer can at least handle this number.


While Lu Zhou proved the initial conjecture of twins, he used the prime number theorem.


After returning to the hotel, he closed the door and began to carefully arrange his notes.


Whether it's the choice of power circuit functions or the solution to a progressive problem, Helfgott has a lot of innovation.


It seems that over the past two years, this professor has not been satisfied with Goldbach's alleged development.Therefore, he has increasingly polished his theory.


Compared to the 2013 thesis, the content in this report is more concise and rigorous.


After putting all his notes on his computer, Lu Zhou lay on his bed with his printed thesis and began to think carefully.


Should I continue using the sieve method?


Or should I use the circle method?


This is a question worth considering.


The former has not had major changes for decades while the latter is promising.


"The problem is how to find a condition and a fairly small lower limit in a large even number?" Lu Zhou thought while flipping through the thesis. He then said, "It seems to prove this question is similar to the main twin's guess."


Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.


Lu Zhou threw his thesis to the side and sat down from his bed. He then went to open the door.


Luo Wenxuan stood in the hallway and greeted him, "Hey."


Lu Zhou asked, "What's wrong?"


“It's almost Christmas. Don't tell me you are planning to study mathematics in this room, ” Luo Wenxuan said. He pulled out two tickets and asked, “There was a basketball game on the 23rd. I got it from my friend. Do you want to go?"


The 23rd is the day after tomorrow.


If Lu Zhou remembered correctly, there were reports for an hour that day.


Generally speaking, an hour-long report is all for a major discovery or reserved for a big name.


Lu Zhou did not want to miss.


So, he shook his head and said, “Sorry, but I'm not too interested in basketball. I also have a report that day that I don't want to miss. What if you go and find someone else? ”


Luo Wenxuan sighed and with a look of defeat, he said, “It's not like this, comrade. You're going to Princeton, so you should try integrating into the lifestyle here. This is not China ... You should at least like one sport. "


Lu Zhou thought for a moment before saying, “I think there is no need to force yourself into an uncomfortable lifestyle. I prefer to live my life at my own pace. ”


"Alright, maybe you are right," Luo Wenxuan said. He glanced at the ticket in his hand and said, "But I still suggest you have hobbies other than math. This will help you find topics to talk about while socializing. It can also help you relax. ”


Lu Zhou smiled and said, "I'll consider your suggestion."


Luo Wenxuan said, “Oh yes, do you want to drink tonight? I found a nice bar near here. "


Lu Zhou had spent the past few days researching mathematics, and he desperately needed a break. So he agreed, "Sure, I can go."


Luo Wenxuan smiled and said, "Haha, it's not easy for you to get along."


...


Lu Zhou was the first Chinese to win the Cole Prize. Naturally, the media should follow up on this issue.


Although the Cole Prize cannot be compared to the Nobel Prize, it is still an international award!


Since the 2000s, the number theory community in China has never been strong.


The appearance of the Cole Prize breaks this curse.


Not only was Jin Ling University happy for Lu Zhou, even his old high school, Jiangling High, was also proud of him.


The morning he received Cole's gift, a banner hung at the high school gate.


[Congratulations to Lu Zhou, a 2013 graduate of our school, who won the internationally renowned mathematics award: The Cole Prize in Number Theory!]


Jiangling High, math office.


Xiao Tong knocked on the office door and waited until he heard "get in" before he entered.


He was still in class when he was suddenly called to go to Old Ma's office.


Being summoned to Old Ma's office is not good news.


Among all the teachers, Old Ma had the worst temperament.


This teacher likes to patrol the classroom and confiscate the phone. Many students are afraid of this teacher. He was like a demon among students.


Xiao Tong carefully walked to his desk. He would ask what was wrong when Old Ma smiled and took out a chair.


"Sit down."


Xiao Tong: ???


He was surprised by Old Ma's abnormal behavior.


When did Old Ma become so good?


However, Xiao Tong thought that this might be the calm before the storm, so he sat down carefully.


"Xiao Tong, how did you learn?"


Xiao Tong thought for a moment before saying, "It's okay ..."


Old Ma smiled and said, "Please ask me if you don't know anything!"


Xiao Tong could not bear it anymore, so he asked seriously, “Teacher, is it because I failed the monthly exam? Just tell me what I got! I will try my best the next time. It's okay if you want to bake me! "


“No, no, no, your test results are good!What about your life? Is there a problem ... Like someone else who intimidated you in class? You can tell me, ”said Old Ma with a serious look.


Xiao Tong was confused. He replied, "No, my classmates are friendly and I am friends with many of them ... Teacher, just give it to me directly. I still have homework. ”


Old Ma coughed and said, “I just have a question. Lu Zhou ... Is your brother busy? "


Xiao Tong said, "It must be busy"


Old Ma immediately asked, "He'll still be back for the New Year, right?"


Xiao Tong asked, “Of course he will be back for the New Year. Is there a problem?"


Old Lu suddenly smiled and said, “The problem is, the leaders of the Education Bureau want Lu Zhou to give a speech at his old school, and talk about his learning experience. Can you help me and ask if your sister has time? "


Only these?


Xiao Tong thought he was in trouble.He wanted to roll his eyes, but instead, he said, "Okay, teacher, I'll tell my brother about it."


Old Ma smiled and said, "Haha, thank you!"
