Chapter 203: Next stop, guess?

Turns out to be the Cole Award!
Lu Zhou was surprised.
Soon he realized the problem.
"Wait, I remember that the Cole Award wasn't given only to members of the Federal Mathematical Society?"
It seemed that Lu Zhou would be expected to ask this question. Mr. Qiu smiled and explained: "In addition to the $ 10,000 prize and certificate, the best young speaker selected by the Federal Mathematical Society in Princeton. It also comes with the status of an honorary member, which is probably between members and fellows. In fact, many societies have similar rules for awarding honorary members, so you fully comply with the rules for judging. "
Including the Chen Shengshen Award, although Lu Zhou has never applied for which society to join, in general, if he receives an award issued by a certain society, he will be granted the status of a member or honorary member of the society by default. Already.
After a pause, Mr. Qiu smiled and continued.
"... The nomination of this award is completed in September and has been selected in October. The formal written documents will come down in early December and will be sent to your school. The award will be given at the end of the academic conference two days after Christmas. I remember correctly at the University of California. Of course, whether the award is presented at the opening or closing ceremony depends on the specific notification. The organizer of the society will send a notification email to your mailbox. You should check yourself regularly. Email address is enough. As for this time, you should be prepared for the award! "
After hearing what Mr. Qiu said, Lu Zhou smiled embarrassedly.
It's really embarrassing.
Before the written documents come down, tell me the news in advance, will there be a sense of calm?
In fact, he also wanted to ask, by the way, what is the bonus of this Cole Award?
But after thinking about it, everyone is learning, it's better to be reserved.
So he held back and didn't ask, but said.
"I will prepare well!"
"You should pay more attention to this yourself, remember not to miss the award," Mr. Qiu nodded approvingly, changed the topic, and continued to talk in a chattering tone. "Speaking of the year-end academic conference, it is actually quite good At the level, if your paper on group construction is put there for a presentation, more people will understand your research results. "
"An academic conference will be held after the award?" Lu Zhou asked unexpectedly.
"Of course, this is a convention. It ’s better to say that the award is given by chance. It ’s still very helpful for you to make a report at that kind of meeting," Mr. Qiu said with a smile. "But there are only two left. Month, just poured so much ink out, I think you probably have nothing to publish, take a break during this time, in December it will be a trip to California. In addition, through this gap, You can also think about it, which way to go next ... yes, do you have a general idea? "
Lu Zhou thought for a while and said, "I plan to dig deeper into the prime problem, but haven't found a suitable goal. Do you have any good suggestions?"
The study of the twin prime conjecture and Polignac's conjecture has almost restrained his energy for a whole year, and now the work has come to an end, his thinking has not been separated from this work.
To get him to choose a suitable proposition from many propositions about prime numbers to fill that gap, he hasn't figured out which one to start with.
Debov's conjecture, which has been deposited for more than 100 years, looks very interesting, similar to Polignac's conjecture, except that one is to study the infinite distance between prime numbers, and the other is that there must be primes between square numbers.
There is also the Brocal proposition, where there are at least four prime numbers between the squares of two prime numbers, and this conjecture is also of great research value.
Although neither of these two conjectures is known as the twin prime conjecture and Polignac's conjecture outside the circle, it does not prevent them from standing in the mathematical world, compared to the two conjectures that Lu Zhou has already completed. .
And these are just one of his alternatives.
"The study of prime numbers is a good direction, and it has a very high status in the field of number theory. The distribution law of prime numbers indicates a lot of real-life problems, such as information technology and cryptography," Mr. Qiu nodded and said with a smile, "Although I have n’t studied much about the direction of number theory, but with my understanding of the direction of number theory, your accomplishments in sieve theory are the most prominent of all the people I have seen. Many people think of sieve theory It has been done to the extreme by Chen Jingrun, but now it seems that we are only hindered by the limitations of the times, and there is still a lot of room for further digging in this theory. "
After a pause, the old gentleman suddenly throws a bold idea at Lu Zhou.
"That being the case, why don't you try to challenge the Goldbach conjecture?"
Goldbach Conjecture? !!
Lu Zhou froze slightly.
This……
The span is too big, right? !!
Lu Zhou thought for a moment, and replied cautiously: "I feel ... this conjecture is still a bit difficult for me. Maybe when the time is right, I will take this proposition and research it ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Although his mathematics level broke through LV4, according to the rules of this system, not only the authority of the database is expanded, but also his ability to understand and analyze mathematics will be enhanced to a certain extent.
But Goldbach's conjecture is, after all, one of the three major mathematical problems in modern times, and the difficulty is at the second level.
Even though the work of previous generations has pushed the results to "1 + 2", only the goal of "1 + 1" is a goal, but it is not so that you want to cover the last tile of this building. It's easy to do.
Otherwise, this conjecture would not be there, and it has been so many years.
"You understand what I mean wrong," Mr. Qiu shook his head, "I'm not asking you to give a conjecture or an answer to this conjecture immediately, but to make you try to study this method."
"A lot of mathematical conjectures do not necessarily have to prove it to be considered a major research result. For example, when we studied the Riemann conjecture, we unexpectedly proved the prime number theorem. The latter's position in the mathematical world at that time was The former is much bigger. "
"Similarly, the sieve theory is a very delicate mathematical tool. Since you can further polish this tool when studying the twin prime conjecture. By studying the Goldbach conjecture, I think you will definitely get more inspiration from it." Said Here, Mr. Qiu suddenly smiled and continued, "Of course, this is just an old man's suggestion, just for your reference. How to choose, it is up to you!"
After listening to Qiu Chengtong's words, Lu Zhou was lost in thought.
The old gentleman seems to be a bit reasonable, and the weight of experience behind Goldbach's conjecture is also full of imagination.
After Lu Zhou thought for a moment, he nodded solemnly, "I will seriously consider your suggestion!"
