Chapter 934: Was it right? (Mon./Thu.)

After so many years in the academic world, Lu Zhou heard for the first time that any journal editor suggested to the contributors that one paper be split into two.
In most cases, the academic editors of the journals suspected that the contributors were too watery. They split a topic into two parts or even several parts, and then cited their own papers to cite the number of citations. .
This disagreement with the contributor's paper is too informative. Call back the contributor and change the two papers to be delivered separately ...
See you for a long time.
"The part of Corollary One is one of the core problems of manifold classification in differential topology ..." Staring at this email and studying it repeatedly, Lu Zhou touched his chin. "Sullivan's guess? What the is it? I listen. I have never heard of it. "
With a mutter, he kicked the suitcase aside, got up, walked out of the cloakroom, and walked upstairs.
Sitting in front of the computer, opening the database and searching for related entries, something that surprised Lu Zhou quickly.
I saw the retrieved papers line by line, flying to him like snowflakes.
Do not check yet do not know.
This retrieval did not expect this proposition to be quite hot.
However, the authors of the several papers with the highest number of citations are not familiar. I think this Sullivan's conjecture should be a proposition that is not highly related to other disciplines, but is more important in this branch of research.
It's like the twin prime conjecture.
It's not addictive number theory, generally no one will study this ghost.
"... Mom, I said why this stuff is so hard. I thought about it all day long! It turned out to be a mathematical conjecture ?!"
In short, the paper he submitted in the Annual of Mathematics, in which the discussion of inference 1 is 7 and a half pages in length, is actually a kind of Sullivan's conjecture on smooth complex complete intersection, etc. The price form is proven.
This conjecture is about the problem of smooth popular classification, and it has been more than half a century since it was proposed.
The classification of smooth manifolds is one of the core problems in differential topology!
This also means that the problem he inadvertently solved has actually plagued the field of differential topology for half a century ...
After reading the retrieved literature, Lu Zhou was filled with emotion.
On the one hand, it is natural to be impressed with his own strength, and on the other hand, he is also impressed with something that Professor Chen dug up.
The association that arises when studying the analysis of the hyper-elliptic curve actually hits the ground with the classic propositions in the mathematical branch of differential topology.
"Anyway ... if Sullivan's conjecture is true, then hyperelliptic curve analysis could introduce a differential manifold approach."
"If this step can go through, I feel that the end of Riemann's conjecture is one step closer to me."
"I don't know how many steps are left ..."
Sighing at the paper on the computer screen, Lu Zhou opened the original paper and re-typed the content.
This work is actually very simple, just inferring the inference 1 in the original paper with a few lines of abstract, and submit it as an independent paper.
As for the title of the thesis, Professor Frakes also thought for him.
That is, "Proof of Sullivan's Conjecture on Smooth Complex Complete Intersection".
As for the original paper, it is just to add a line of quotation to the quotation, and then use the proposition he himself proves as a theorem in the paper.
After taking about ten minutes to finish the work, Lu Zhou repackaged the papers and delivered them to Professor Frakes' mailbox.
After doing these things, when Lu Zhou was planning to send an e-mail to tell Professor Chen Yang about this interesting thing, he suddenly remembered that when he delivered the paper, he had hung a preprint of that paper to Arxiv.
Although he rarely revised the manuscript, according to the academic practice, since the paper was modified based on the opinions of academic editors or reviewers, the preprints on Arxiv naturally need to be updated at the same time.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhou immediately boarded his account on Arxiv, but when he was about to delete the original preprint and update it into two papers after the split, this was the original paper. The downloads were taken aback.
22,000 downloads!
"Well, it's only been two days of work. Is the download volume so high?"
Generally speaking, even in the more popular research direction, it can be said that a preprint can be downloaded several hundred times after it has been uploaded.
The number of downloads can reach 10,000, often those papers that have been hung for a long time, and it must be in the more popular research direction.
Differential topology is not a particularly popular branch of mathematics, especially in the field of manifold classification. It is difficult to say whether there are 20,000 scholars studying this direction in the world, let alone tracking this label on Arxiv. people.
Therefore, the number of downloads is really too weird.
There is only one possibility.
That is his thesis, which has caused considerable topics within a certain range.
Moreover, the topic has become so popular that scholars studying other fields have all attracted curious attention to him ...
Suddenly, Lu Zhou seemed to realize something, so he immediately logged in to his account on the mathoverflow forum.
Also as he expected, the topic of his thesis ~ EbookFREE.me ~ has almost occupied the homepage of the real-time discussion section in this world-renowned forum for mathematics professionals ...
[Surprised, has anyone read the paper that Professor Lu recently submitted? 】
[I just finished watching it, it seems to be a supplement to the analysis method of the hyperelliptic curve ... Is there anything special? 】
[The point is not a proposition discussed in the paper itself! It's Corollary One in that paper! You may not know about differential topology, but that thing is actually another form of expression of Sullivan's conjecture! I saw it for a long time and suddenly found out! 】
[My brother was studying differential topology when I was studying for a master's degree, and it is said that he and his mentor are now working on the classification of differential manifolds. I just took that paper and asked him how he felt. He only told me a bit of a bully, and then the whole person closed himself. How can I persuade him to open something, wait online, etc., it is urgent ... 】
[Professively, Professor Lu, who can engage in such special research, can produce such a hanged research result. 】
[It feels like I have learned the differential manifold for ten years ... (crying)]
[Exactly tomorrow's discussion class, I still lack a topic, so I borrowed this preprint for use: P]
Browsing these posts to the end, finally solved the case, Lu Zhou, could not help but sigh.
"These people are really busy."
At this time, it is better to pick some interesting questions to study by yourself.
Didn't that solve a conjecture?
All day fuss ...
Shaking his head, Lu Zhou closed the browser, closed the laptop, and tossed the matter along with the submitted papers.
The Mathematics Yearbook will contact a well-qualified reviewer for him to complete the peer review process.
What he needs next is to prepare for his upcoming trip to Shanghai ...
