Chapter 186: Witness history or become a laughing stock

Chapter 186 Witness history or become a joke

Although Xu Qingzhou's lecture was over, the scene was even more lively than before. People who walked out of the lecture hall gathered in groups of three or four, discussing what had just happened.

"Do you understand the formula written by Xu Qingzhou?" the German youth asked his friend.

"You know, I study geometry." A young man shrugged and said, "But, didn't the big guys just say that the sieve method and the asymptotic formula are the twin prime conjecture?"

The German youth was a little excited: "I originally wanted to come and see the excitement, but I didn't expect to see such a wonderful thing. I'm so lucky!"

Hearing this, a young man next to him smiled softly and said, "That's because you didn't come last year. Last year, the Norwegian mathematician brought a loudspeaker and announced that he had proved the Riemann hypothesis."

The German youth looked curious: "Brother, tell me, what happened in the end?"

The young man smiled jokingly and asked, "Have you seen the news about who solved the Riemann hypothesis?"

After saying that, he took the notebook and left.

"I guarantee that it was the most lively scene I have ever seen. The old man was reluctant to leave and claimed that he was right."

Someone who knew about it recalled, "In the end, it was Mr. Simon Cartman who personally found a blackboard and demonstrated the counterexample to the old man."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but laugh, as they could already imagine the scene.

Three Cambridge students also followed the crowd out.

One person asked, "David, do you think this Asian guy can succeed?"

The young man named "David" rolled his eyes and said, "For things like this, you have to ask God, he can predict the future."

"The twin prime conjecture. If this person can really prove it, Cambridge might have another cool legend."

After a pause, the tall and thin young man next to him laughed again: "Or, in the next year, we will not lack jokes to talk about."

There is a saying among students at Cambridge University: Don't bend down, because the world has already bowed to you.

Although this is just a small joke, one can still feel the arrogance of Cambridge from it.

However, it was fun for them, whether witnessing a historical moment or having more chips for small talk.

Outside the lecture hall, the Indian guy took a deep breath and felt very suffocated. The Xia guy who questioned him actually intended to prove the twin prime conjecture.

No, no, no, there's no way he could succeed!

It is because he was also studying the twin prime conjecture that he realized how difficult it is to prove it.

At the very least, his own proof method was not clever. No matter how fancy it sounded, one had to admit that even if Xu Qingzhou had not questioned it, the chances of proving the twin prime conjecture would still be slim if he continued to move forward.

Although it is somewhat unrealistic and India is being crushed in all aspects, it has never given up competing with Xia for the right to speak in certain areas.

Even those who study mathematics would secretly compete with people from Xia Country when they meet them.

It's so painful to see the Xia people taking the spotlight now.

When someone is sad, someone else will be happy.

Academician Xu and Zhao Zhenglai were packing materials in a classroom, preparing to go to a meeting at Carlisle College. This kind of seminar is like this, many people listen to what they want to hear, and after the seminar, they leave to do their own things.

Thinking of Xu Qingzhou's performance, Academician Xu sighed: "Our Peking University has produced another extraordinary genius. The future of Xiaguo's mathematics community is worth looking forward to."

In his opinion, regardless of whether Xu Qingzhou can succeed or not, his courage to challenge is worthy of recognition. As long as he continues to maintain it, his future achievements will definitely not be low.

"Yes, junior brother is really awesome." Zhao Zhenglai nodded.

Academician Xu glared at his student unhappily and said, "Look at Xiao Xu, and then look at yourself. You just hang out in bars all day long." "Teacher, what you said is to let me combine work and rest."

Zhao Zhenglai expressed that he felt a little wronged, and at the same time sighed. Since he started school, he had always been what everyone called "the other people's child". Who could have thought that there would be such a day.

However, if my junior brother can really prove the twin prime conjecture

It seems normal to be crushed.

Academician Xu: "We should combine work and rest, and we don't ask you to go to the bar every day."

Zhao Zhenglai coughed lightly, changed the subject, and said, "Teacher, Dr. Nobs is already waiting, why don't we go there earlier?"

Sure enough, Academician Xu did not scold him anymore, but asked: "Did you bring the system construction materials with you?"

"Don't worry, I'll remember it."

In the huge lecture hall, Professor Maynard and several experts on prime number research had not left yet. They were still discussing the formula that Xu Qingzhou had just left behind.

"It is indeed a formula for sieving," said Professor Bazel.

Professor Maynard stared at the blackboard, nodded slightly, and said, "Well, the Selberg sieve method, and it has been improved. It is perfect."

Professor Bazel sighed, "However, it is a pity that I cannot see the full content of the sieve method."

"Perhaps, it won't be long before we can see the entire process." Professor Maynard was not so hesitant.

Professor Bazel smiled and asked, "Oh, do you think he can succeed?"

In his more than years of mathematical research, he has seen too many such things. Unfortunately, % of the provers failed and finally packed up their things and left in embarrassment amid people's doubts and whistles.

"I'm looking forward to it," said Professor Maynard.

In the hotel, Xu Qingzhou sat at the desk, took out a piece of manuscript paper from his bag, and without wasting any time, he planned to start the calculation again.

π(x)~L(s,\chi)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty

Since the growth rate of π2(x) cannot be obtained from this asymptotic formula, it is necessary to adjust the product on the right side so that the product on the right side can be converted into a convergent quantity.

That is, find a product with a known asymptotic expansion.

通过配方法可得:1-2\p=(1-1\9)2-1\p

Everything went smoothly afterwards and fell into place naturally. The clues that were originally elusive and hard to grasp were already clearly visible. Even if he occasionally encountered obstacles in the calculations, he could quickly find the key nodes of the problem.

Immersed in calculations, Xu Qingzhou forgot the passage of time. Complex formulas appeared on paper, building a ladder to mathematical truth.

Night falls, 10pm.

On the open-air balcony outside the lecture hall, Zhao Zhenglai hung up the phone, looked at Catherine helplessly, and said, "Sorry, Junior Brother said he was busy, so it seems that we have to go drink by ourselves."

Kathryn shook her head and corrected him, "No, you drink it yourself."

"Huh?" Zhao Zhenglai was stunned.

"You know, I'm more interested in Xu." Catherine stood up, said this, and turned away.

"." Zhao Zhenglai was speechless. Is it necessary to be so realistic?
