[1] THE SCHOLAR ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY SYSTEM (END)
Chapter 72: The Surprise of Professor Deligne
...welcome to read...
Translator: Translated Henyee Editor: Translated Henyee
A quiet house in Princeton, New Jersey.
A bald Caucasian man stuffed his clothes into a suitcase and shouted, “I have no time, go and find someone else! At the moment, my teacher is in a hospital bed. This might be the last time I see him! For this month, I don't want to see anything that has to do with math. "
The middle-aged man in the suit had an awkward smile. He's not angry at all.
After all, the man standing before him was the famous Viscount Pierre Deligne, the man who proved Weil's conjecture. He has won the Fields Medal, the Crafoord Prize, the Wolf Prize, and the Abel Prize. If there is a math prize, he has won it.
Even in an advanced institution like Princeton, an institution that housed mathematical geniuses around the world, Deligne remained prominent.
Davis is just a regular editor for the Mathematics Chronicle. Although he graduated from journalism at Johns Hopkins University, he knew very little about mathematics.
The Mathematical Chronicle is like a son of Princeton University and a stepson of Johns Hopkins University. However, Princeton is also responsible for the journal [Year of Mathematics], which is respected in the mathematics community. Therefore, Princeton began to spend less resources on the Mathematical Chronicle.
You read on B oxnovel .com Thank you!
The editors at Johns Hopkins University try their best to maintain the academic influence of the Math Chronicle.
Normally, a thesis of ordinary number theory would not be worthy of Davis's attention. It was just a coincidence that he had a certain amount of knowledge about number theory that when he first read his thesis, he soon discovered its tremendous value from it.
There are countless conjectures about the Mersenne law of distribution of prime numbers, but no guesswork has been proven. Among them, the most mathematically beautiful and precise conjecture was undoubtedly Zhou's famous conjecture.
When 2^ (2^n)
However, this is only a guess.
Zhou's allegations are neither proven nor disproved.
When proven, it will be upgraded into a theorem!
Although Davis saw that Professor Delini did not care, Davis refused to give up. Instead, he said, "Come, Viscount Deligne! Your research is the most remarkable of all the professors I have ever seen! I read this thesis and think of you. We've been working together for years now. Can you see it? ”
"Stop kissing my ass" Deligne said as she slammed her suitcase and laughed coldly. He said, "I know I'm good."
He's usually not this bad. Like all the other geniuses at Princeton, he was just a little arrogant. Usually, if Davis brings an interesting thesis to him, he will take his time and read it.
However, no matter how interesting this thesis may be, it has more important things to pay attention to.
Teacher, Mr. Grottendick was lying in a hospital bed and could die at any time.
He had no desire to learn some math problems. He had to fly to France and meet his teacher.
Not only did he temporarily stop the work of his academic editor, but he also stopped his own research project for a while.
Davis tried to convince her, "Didn't you want to bring a gift to Mr. Grottendick?"
Deligne said angrily, "Gift? A piece of junk paper? I prefer to buy flowers in France! "
"I promise, this paper is not as bad as you think it is" Davis said sincerely. He then added, “Don't you prove Riemann's guess about your teacher's life purpose? Mersenne's law of distribution of prime numbers has been broken, and we have taken a step forward towards the crown of this mathematical world ... Even if it was just a small step! I remember a comment you said in an academic report last year - that the path to the end of the Riemann zeta function is dark and requires a lot of candles to illuminate ... Now, the game is in your hands. ”
Deligne looked at Davis and was silent for a while before finally taking the thesis out of David's hands.
"F*ck!"
Finally, the academic could no longer hold back his curiosity.
"Proof Zhou's theorem?" Deligne frowned.
He had read countless theses like this in the past and had recently stopped being so common. People who think they are smart always like to take seemingly simple questions, but they never start to solve them.
If Zhou's conjecture is proven, it could really help research for Riemann's conjecture. After all, the behavior of the Riemann zeta function is closely related to the frequency of prime numbers. The Riemann hypothesis is about when the zeta function is zero.
When Deligne read the author's name, she was shocked.
Lu Zhou's?
The Chinese? Or ABC? <
There were many outstanding mathematicians in Asia, but he had never heard of this name ...
His heart could not help but feel disgusted towards the writer. However, because he knew that David would never fool him with a bad thesis, Deligne continued reading.
One minute passed ...
Five minutes passed ...
Ten minutes passed ...
Davis controlled his breathing when he saw Professor Deligne acting like this. He did not want to disturb Deligne's thinking.
The more Deligne read, the more serious his expression became.
Five minutes passed ...
He put the suitcase on the wall but he remained silent. Deligne then took out an A4 paper and went to her study before she closed the door behind her.
Davis let out a sigh of relief and finally he relaxed his stiff shoulders as he sat leisurely on the sofa in the living room.
Judging from his years of experience, Professor Deligne's strength in closing doors positively correlates with how important the thesis is.
If it was a garbage thesis, he wouldn't even close the door to the study room.
When Deligne was in the study room, he issued a draft paper and began verifying the calculations in the thesis.
The author's calculations are clear, logical, and meticulous. The application method was so clever that Deligne could not even find the error.
Deligne could not even find a possible improvement.
What puzzled him was that, other than sloppy English, the argumentation process was perfect. It doesn't look like the author is a newcomer ...
Too smooth.
I can't believe how subtle this thesis is.
He wanted to believe that there was an error in this five-page thesis!
Maybe I missed a mistake?
It's catchy.
An hour passed.
After Deligne read the last line of calculations, he was silent for a very long time. He then put the printed thesis next to the concept paper before he sighed and muttered the French word, "Impressive."
An hour ago, he still had doubts in his mind.
However, after reading it again, he was convinced that this five-page thesis had no problems.
He could think of no other word but impressive.
Deligne really wanted to meet the author of this thesis. However, there is no chance anytime soon. After returning from his vacation in France, he had to participate in a new research project for Princeton, which would occupy him for several months.
Perhaps, this paper will arouse the interest of my teacher?
He knew that the odds were low because his teacher had not studied mathematics for many years.
Davis walked back and forth in the living room when he finally turned his attention to the fish tank next to the living room closet. He tapped on the glass with his finger and played with the golden fish to pass the time.
Suddenly, the door to the study room opened and out came Deligne with a thesis in her hand.
Davis immediately rushed forward and asked, "How is it?"
When Deligne put the thesis into the suitcase, she replied without lifting her head, “I need time. I'll give you a response within a week. "
When Davis heard it, he held his breath for a moment because he was too excited.
He had worked with him for so many years that he really understood the personality of the professor.
If the thesis is not put into the professor's crushing machine, it means that he cannot find a problem with the thesis. If he doesn't return the thesis to Davis, it means that the content of the thesis caught his attention!
A week is nothing.
It is impossible for an academic editor to quickly review a paper. Repeated monitoring and verification is required. This is not only the rigour of a mathematician but also of a scholar. That is the minimum award for the field of study!
World-class math problems will soon be solved.
The academic value of [Mathematical Chronology] will no doubt increase.
By Davis himself ...
What else can prove his performance as a technical editor other than picking up a needle from a haystack?
Seriate
you guys are cool, make some twilight hehe
