Chapter 491
Speaking of Ueda Shinichi’s most impressive achievement in mathematics, it is undoubtedly the 512-page paper proving the ABC conjecture!
Similarly, it is also Ueda's most proud achievement.
But as mentioned earlier, his 512-page paper uses some brand-new mathematical methods, and even the "objects" of research are brand new!
As a result, in today's world, no one except him can fully understand the theoretical content expounded in his long paper.
This is so painful!
No one can read it, which means that no one can prove the correctness of Ueda's new solution.
Therefore, the ABC conjecture is still the ABC conjecture, not the ABC theorem!
Ueda Shinichi’s five-hundred-page paper was published at the beginning of the millennium, but more than two decades have passed and it is still in such a predicament.
During the period, Shinichi Ueda also thought of various ways to promote the "intercosmic Teichmüller theory" he put forward in the paper, but his status in the international mathematics circle was not enough, and he failed many times.
Shinichi Ueda understood that he had to do something.
It just so happened that his junior Ichiro Ida came to him and told him the "bet" of two million dollars with Cheng Nuo.
Shinichi Ueda understands that this is an opportunity!
An opportunity to show his strength to the world.
Taking advantage of this enthusiasm, once he succeeds, his status in the mathematics world will naturally rise rapidly.
At that time, it will not be his turn to speak, and many people will rush into the arms of the great theory of "intercosmic Teichmüller theory".
So this time, Shinichi Ueda didn't hesitate to go off the court personally and come to this muddy water.
…………
Hua Guo, Tsinghua University.
Dean Ding came to the Institute of Mathematics in a hurry.
Pushing open the door of the office, seeing Cheng Nuo drinking coffee and reading materials leisurely, couldn't help but shook his head and smiled.
"Your kid is really big, what is the mess outside, and you are so leisurely?"
Cheng Nuo got up and brought Dean Ding a chair to sit down. "The fact is that this is already the case. No matter how much I do, nothing can change. Since Ueda Shinichi dares to accept this challenge, let him Just try it."
"But to be honest, I don't believe Ueda Shinichi will complete this challenge." Cheng Nuo pointed to himself, "Because even myself, I can't solve the BSD conjecture without creating new theorems. , Then Ueda Shinichi is even more impossible!"
Dean Ding smiled heartily, "You guy is so confident!"
"It's not that I'm too confident, but I believe that Ueda Shinichi, in the BSD guess, is not as good as me!" Cheng Nuo shrugged and said casually.
Cheng Nuo said this sentence is not aimless.
In terms of difficulty, the BSD conjecture itself is more difficult to prove than the ABC conjecture!
What's more, Cheng Nuo successfully proved the BSD conjecture, which was recognized by the world mathematics community. And Shinichi Ueda has not yet been recognized by the mathematics community.
Regardless of the seniority brought by age, Cheng Nuo is now better than Ueda Shinichi in every respect.
"You!" Dean Ding smiled, and his complexion immediately became serious. "After these few days of fermentation, your struggle with Shinichi Ueda has not only risen to a personal level, but At the level of the mathematics circles of the two countries."
"So I came here to discuss with you whether or not to take any countermeasures!"
Cheng Nuo and Ueda Shinichi.
Cheng Nuo is recognized as the first person of the "Golden Generation" by the Chinese mathematics community.
Shinichi Ueda, among the older generations of mathematics in the island country, is also one of the mainstays.
It can be said that to a certain extent, the two can represent the mathematics circles of their respective countries.
Therefore, this confrontation between the two has been regarded as a tentative contest between the mathematics circles of the two countries.
They are also very curious about which is strong and weak.
After Dean Ding's reminder, Cheng Nuo also reacted.
Indeed, this counterattack is still very necessary.
But what should be taken as a counterattack point?
Cheng Nuo frowned and thought, suddenly a flash of inspiration.
He met Dean Ding's gaze, and the corner of his mouth curled, "Dean, I think the ABC conjecture is an interesting thing."
…………
Time enters May.
Cheng Nuo became busy again after two months of rest.
But this time in addition to Zhang Wei, Cheng Nuo ushered in two new colleagues.
One is Yu Zhiwei, who is at the same level as Zhang Wei, and the other is Professor Zhang Hua, who just won the world's highest award for number theory this year.
These three, together with Cheng Nuo, will conquer the ABC conjecture in the next period of time.
At the same time.
The Morningside Mathematics Award, which represents the highest award for Chinese, also announced the list of nominations for this session.
Cheng Nuo's name is impressively listed.
The Morningside Mathematics Award is the highest award at the World Congress of Chinese Mathematicians, so it is also known as the "Chinese Fields Medal."
The target of the award is Chinese mathematicians under the age of 45 who have outstanding achievements in basic and applied mathematics.
The award is awarded every three years, and this year is already the seventh.
The Morningside Mathematics Award includes one gold award and three silver awards.
But the award is for all Chinese mathematicians, not just Chinese mathematicians of Chinese descent.
Therefore, in previous years, three of the four mathematicians who won the award were almost all Chinese mathematicians of other nationalities.
Especially the gold medal of the Morningside Mathematics Award is firmly held by foreign mathematicians.
This incident has embarrassed Chinese mathematicians.
But this year, it's different!
Originally, at the beginning of the year, there was no name Cheng Nuo in the nomination list of the Morningside Mathematics Award Organizing Committee.
As for the candidates for the gold award, they have long agreed within them and are preparing to award it to an Australian Chinese mathematician.
Even the medals engraved with the names of the winners given to the gold medal winners ~ EbookFREE.me~ have already begun preparations for production.
But at this time, Cheng Nuo's emergence turned out to disrupt the rhythm of the organizing committee.
Cheng Nuo proved the BSD conjecture and fully met the age and award requirements.
With Cheng Nuo's current achievements, the organizing committee can't think of it. If this award is not awarded to Cheng Nuo, who would be eligible.
As a result, the plan was redrawn and the gold medal was awarded to Cheng Nuo.
Cheng Nuo also got the news.
At that time, he and Zhang Wei were discussing the next research plan in the office. After learning the news, the three congratulated Cheng Nuo.
Cheng Nuo was not surprised.
What he cares about now is not the Morningside Mathematics Prize, but the Fields Medal.
Although the Morningside Mathematics Award is known as the "Chinese Fields Medal", it is still only an award in the Chinese circle, and it is incomparable with world-class weight awards such as the Fields Medal.
