Chapter 241: Victory Champagne

For a novel set of theories, especially in their field of study, everyone's first reaction must be skepticism, and after skepticism comes ensuing skepticism. As for acceptance and even appreciation, that is the last thing.
Looking at the response from the audience, Lu Zhou knew that he was half successful.
He was confident that at least half of the people had understood the theory of group construction.
As for the remaining half, it doesn't matter if you understand it.
He only needed to ensure that a quarter of the people could understand it, and that the reviewers who were about to peer review his paper could understand it, and the core purpose of the conference was achieved.
Taking a deep breath, Lu Zhou turned the PPT to the next page.
Next, the proof of Goldbach's conjecture.
But at this step, he was much more relaxed.
When a tool is born, fulfilling its mission is just a matter of course.
What he has to do next is just such a thing.
Touching the eyes and heartbeat of all listeners, the laser pointer in Lu Zhou's hand pointed at the curtain, and PPT continued to show.
[Let N denote a sufficiently large even number, and let Px (1,1) be the number of prime numbers p satisfying N = p1 + p2. Let Cn = {∏p
x, p2} (p-1) / (p-2) {∏p2} (1-1 / (p-1) ^ 2), and set the limit group G = ……
[……]
With the beginning of this stage, the atmosphere in the lecture hall was obviously pushed to Gao Chao.
This atmosphere is brewing in a silent auditorium, brewing in the tip of each pen stagnating on the notepad. When the group formation method broke into the heart of Goldbach's conjecture, all listeners held their breath, for fear of losing any details.
Staring intently at the curtain on the stage, Maynard's pupils narrowed slightly and murmured to himself.
"Bombieri's theorem! That's it ... he did it, incredible."
With the finishing touch, all the foreshadowing brushes were dismantled, and the steps were clear.
As if clearing away the fog in front of me, it was suddenly bright.
As an expert in prime numbers, he feels the most profound and intuitive.
Although, this moment is not what he expected ...
Evan, sitting next to him, was aggressive.
From the time of group construction, the young man from the UK has given up on treatment and started to wait silently for the final result.
Listening to the mentor's statement, is it probably proof?
Thinking of this, Evan could not help but look awkward.
Just a few days ago, he also took the mentor's blog post on his personal blog and the people on the forum, and vowed that the briefing would eventually become a joke.
As it turned out, it was still my face that hurt ...
Sitting on the other side of the lecture hall, Helfgot, who hadn't moved yet, closed the memo pad in his hand, and there was a hint of praise on his face.
Before he came, he had read Lu Zhou's dissertation at least ten times. For the problems, he wrote them one by one on the scratch pad, ready to wait for the questions.
But now it seems that this small book is probably not useful.
Where he thinks there is a problem, he has been answered to his satisfaction.
Not only did Helfgot get the answer he wanted, the land boat standing on the podium also got what he wanted.
From those double sights, he felt affirmation from his peers.
Finally, he came to the last step.
[... Obviously, we have Px (1,1) ≥P (x, x ^ {1/16})-(1/2) ΣPx (x, p, x) -Q / 2-x ^ (log4 (...) (30)]
[... by formula (30), lemma 8, lemma 9, lemma 10, it can be proved that theorem 1 holds. 】
[Proof completed. 】
The PPT freezes on the last page, and the silence in the lecture hall freezes at the last second.
This solemn silence continued until Lu Zhou opened his mouth.
Having spoken for forty minutes, Lu Zhou cleared his throat and announced with a husky voice: "The proof of Goldbach's conjecture is over here. I think I have proved this proposition."
The audience did not keep him waiting long.
In other words, they have waited too long for this sentence.
The letter from Moscow to Berlin in 1742 straddled the Austrian-Prussian War and spanned two and a half centuries.
After the efforts of countless generations of scholars, he added bricks and tiles to this building, and finally completed the last shot in his hands.
Counting the treasures gained from it, human civilization has already harvested too much.
At the moment his voice fell, the lecture hall was filled with applause.
And it lasted a long time ...
...
To the surprise of Lu Zhou, he originally thought that the real challenge would be in the questioning section, but the questioning section was passed easily.
Several Daniels who analyzed number theory asked a few simple questions, and then sat back. It is expected that the questioning session that may time out may be resolved in the 20 minutes he left.
After the report, Peter Goddard, the dean of Princeton Institute of Advanced Studies, took a bottle of champagne, walked to the podium and Lu Zhou gave a warm hug.
This mathematical physicist, best known for his research on string theory, has won the Dirac Medal, the highest honor in mathematical physics.
"Congratulations, Dr. Lu Zhou," patted the landing boat on the shoulder, Goddard with white hair, smiled and put champagne into his arms, "hold it, this victorious champagne belongs to you! "
After receiving the champagne, Lu Zhou smiled embarrassedly and said modestly, "Isn't there a peer review?"
It's always too early to open champagne now.
However, Goddard did not think so, and said with a smile: "Of course, the Annual of Mathematics will organize a six-member jury to independently review your paper based on today's meeting records. However, it will open after the report. Champagne is Princeton's tradition. It's Princeton's congratulations to you, or you can take it as a stress. "
To be precise, this is the tradition of Oxford and Cambridge. But Princeton is a rare Oxford university in the United States, and Goddard ’s doctorate was also completed in Cambridge, so it is not an exaggeration to call it a tradition.
The review of a world-class mathematical problem can be fast or slow, depending on the complexity of the proof process and the prover's own understanding of the process he wrote.
During this period, Lu Zhou must answer all the questions from the jury ~ EbookFREE.me ~ So, this champagne is no longer a congratulation, but also a spur to encourage him to stick to it.
Because once he gave up, it meant he would return the champagne.
Although it is only a few hundred dollars, no one wants to do it.
Holding the champagne in his hand, Lu Zhou felt the pressure from the fruits of victory.
Goddard smiled encouragingly and patted him on the shoulder. "Open it, this glory belongs to you!"
Encouraged by the Dean, Lu Zhou no longer hesitated.
Considering the possibility of a 1 in 10,000 failure, it is not something a winner should do, at least not what he should do on the podium at this moment.
Moreover, his proof has been affirmed from "higher civilization".
He believes that he can answer all the questions of the jury about the paper.
Now, what he needs to do is to be more confident in his research results. Let his parents, his alma mater and Princeton, and even his homeland, be proud of the glory he has achieved at this moment.
Foam spurted from the mouth of the bottle, and the people sitting in the front row were more or less sprayed with foam, but no one complained, but laughed.
The people behind looked at it enviously, trying to reflect the joy of the winner, but because the distance was too far, the aisle was too crowded to approach.
The reporters standing on both sides of the lecture hall recorded this historic moment with the camera, and tried to pass through the crowd to get first-hand information.
Perhaps tomorrow, the land boat holding champagne will appear on the cover of Time Magazine, just like Wiles did.
But now, Lu Zhou didn't pay attention to those things that didn't matter.
He swears that this is the most delicious wine he has ever drunk.
The taste is exceptionally sweet and sweet.
Intoxicating ...
