Chapter 1390: Squeezed Paralyzed Preprint Library

abc conjecture is resolved!

Whether it is for the mathematical community or for the future destiny of human civilization, this is definitely a day of history.

康 As the administrator of the pre-printed electronic archive of arxiv, Cornell University in the United States is very honored to feel this more deeply and deeply than everyone else.

Cornell University School of Computer Engineering.

Early morning's tranquility was broken by a sudden accident.

The arxiv database, which has been running for quite a long time, suddenly seems to have been attacked by a violent dos attack, and was overwhelmed by the explosive increase in traffic.

"Damn! Is there any special holiday today? Why are you landing at this point ..."

"The number of visits has increased a hundredfold ... God, what happened last night?"

鬼 "Ghosts know! Hurry up and call Los Alamos National Laboratory and let them use the spare server!"

"Already used ... give up, there must be a problem with such a huge number of visits, absolutely not caused by normal visits!"

The chaos in the lab was a mess.

Facing the paralyzed server, the invited professors tried everything, but they were still helpless.

Arxiv's traffic has always been relatively stable, one morning peak and one night peak. Most of the time, people will choose to search for the research progress of the several research directions tracked by them.

因此 It is for this reason that Los Alamos National Laboratory, which is responsible for operating the server, has allocated additional server resources for arxiv. What was unexpected, however, was that the plan could not keep up.

The extra server resource that was added was simply a waste of money. The surge in traffic instantly paralyzed the entire website. Now no one can squeeze in ...

Dr. Osmond, responsible for maintaining the database, was sweating eagerly. Seeing that the situation was out of control, he immediately called Los Alamos National Laboratory and asked the engineers there to actively activate the brakes on the server before starting the inspection. The server's memory, looking for the cause of the failure in offline mode.

arxiv is not the same as other non-academic databases for profit. As an open electronic preprint database of public welfare nature, even if the traffic doubles several times, they will not rely on this for profit. Therefore, in addition to this situation, in addition to his feelings, Beyond his head, there was no excitement.

I watched the system engineer approaching, Dr. Osmon stopped him and asked anxiously.

"Where is the Los Alamos National Laboratory? How are they troubleshooting the server over there?"

The expression on the engineer's face was also full of the same dignity.

Although they have encountered similar situations before, they are far less exaggerated than the situation they are facing.

"The cause of the failure is still under investigation ... No new news yet."

"Damn!" Cursed, Dr. Osmon could not help but swear, "Which is idle and nothing to do, staring at the electronic library? You are forced to go to the black Federal Reserve!"

"Maybe it was rejected and wanted to vent it?" The engineer shrugged his shoulders and reluctantly put forward a hypothesis. However, Dr. Osmond did not think about it, and rejected it.

不可能 "No, it's a question of whether that stupid can use the computer correctly."

It is quite difficult for ar to be rejected by arxiv, because even for "folk mathematics", there is a separate classification here as a reservation for folk scholars to entertain themselves.

Only those who are unsure of the positioning of their thesis can be "rejected" because of non-compliance, so Dr. Osmond almost ruled out this possibility.

Just as a group of people were anxious like ants on a hot pot, footsteps suddenly heard outside the laboratory.

I saw a man in a suit almost trotting in, and said as he walked.

"The findings from the Los Alamos National Laboratory came out!"

Hearing this, Dr. Osmond did not hesitate for a second, looked at him immediately, and asked anxiously.

"what's going on?!"

"Proof of abc's conjecture ..."

愣 Dr. Osmond froze and looked at him in wonder and asked.

"Proof of abc conjecture ?! What do you mean ..."

"The engineers at Los Alamos National Laboratory retrieved the error log and found that almost all traffic was directed to the same third-level domain name." Difficulty said, "What a hell! A dissertation, but also a preprint, paralyzed the server ... for the first time in my life I have encountered such an exaggeration!"

Uh ...

The paralysis of the arxiv server is just the beginning.

Abc conjectured that the proved news soon spread through the entire mathematical world along the network cable, and a sound of astonishment spread like a tsunami.

Because the arxiv server was completely paralyzed and the website could not be reached, many people who could not download the paper could only flood into the lspm forum left by Lu Zhou on his personal page, where he shared and exchanged information about the abc conjecture.

At the same time, Princeton Advanced Institute.

Dr. Woolley Fernall, from the Department of Mathematics, quickly walked into Professor Sanak's office.

Because he was so emotional, he even forgot to knock on the door and pushed open the door of the office, typing the report with an incoherent voice.

"Professor!"

Hearing the sound coming from the door, Professor Sanak frowned slightly, stopped the ball-point pen in his hand, and looked in the direction of his student.

"Good morning, Mr. Fernal, I want to know what happened? So much so that you forget the politeness of knocking on the door before opening it."

"Sorry! But it's really amazing!" Fernard swallowed hard and continued breathing in a trembling tone. "You would never think--"

The sound of tapping the pen cover on the table interrupted his speech, Professor Sanak said impatiently.

"I hope you can make it clear in one minute, otherwise-"

"It's the lspm team! Just an hour ago, they uploaded the complete proof of the abc conjecture to arxiv!"

Lspm group ...

完整 Full proof of abc conjecture? !!

The moment he heard this sentence, Professor Sanak's eyes were as wide as a ping-pong ball, and he immediately stood up from behind the desk and said anxiously.

"What about the paper? Did you download it?"

没有 "No ..." Dr. Fernall swallowed, his face filled with bitter expressions, "Just when I discovered this, the arxiv website was crowded and paralyzed."

Are you paralyzed? !!

I heard this completely unexpected news ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Sanak was all there.

It took about five minutes for him to slowly return to God.

Unconsciously, he moved to the corner of the desk in the office, and looked at the calendar placed there, only to see the date of April 30th printed on it.

Thinking of what Professor Fefferman said some time ago, a clear shock gradually appeared in Sanak's eyes, and his eyes were full of unbelievable expression.

I really made them come out before the end of the month? !!

He is simply God!

At the same time, even in almost the same building.

的 Prof. Fefferman, who was sitting in his office, looked at the calendar on his desk after learning that the abc conjecture was proven.

He sighed softly, and he said to himself with regret.

"It's a big loss ..."

要 If only I was holding on.

I wonder if he can insist on it anymore. As soon as Sanak's old-fashioned gambling is up, will he make that gambling with himself?

I won't say that he knocked him hard, at least for this week's coffee, someone paid for it ...
