Chapter 184 Thesis completed!

When people's needs are divided into different levels, even commodities are given different statuses and thus have different attributes.

For example, when everyone in the world can own a bag or watch from a luxury brand, the existence of this bag or watch loses its original value.

But if the world no longer lacks food or energy, the value of these two things will still exist, even if the prices of these two things cannot be compared with so-called luxury goods in peacetime.

Obviously, to people like Xue Song, Tian Yanzhen and Yuan Lao, Qiao Yu is like a limited edition luxury watch, a one-of-a-kind limited edition in the world.

If I don’t show off, I won’t be able to sleep today.

So Tian Yanzhen picked up the phone without hesitation, but before the call could be made, his phone rang first, and it was Mr. Yuan calling.

"Did Qiao Yu solve the Riemann hypothesis?"

As soon as Tian Yanzhen answered the phone, the old man's powerful voice came into his ears.

"Qiao Yu called you?"

Tian Yanzhen asked back, this time Mr. Yuan’s news came too quickly.

After hearing what Tian Yanzhen said, Xue Song came back to his senses and looked at Tian Yanzhen beside him.

"No. But just now my student Qiao Xi called me and said Qiao Yu said he made more than 10 million. He asked me if this kid would get into trouble."

Well, Tian Yan really thought about it, there is nothing wrong. With Qiao Yu's confidence... this guy probably treated the Clay Institute as a bank a long time ago.

"How about this? It's still early. If you're not in a hurry to rest, I'll bring that kid to visit you right now, and you can ask him in person."

Soon, Mr. Yuan replied affirmatively: "Okay, come to Qiuzhai."

……

Although Qiao Yu was writing a paper, he did not switch his phone to do not disturb mode as usual.

The main reason was that since Xue Song had said he would report the matter to Director Tian, ​​he would probably receive a call from Director Tian soon.

This has always been the case.

What he didn't expect was that he didn't receive a call from Director Tian, ​​but instead received a joint visit from Director Tian himself and Lao Xue, and then was taken directly to his master's Qiu Zhai.

Sure enough, he still underestimated the status of the Riemann hypothesis in the minds of several mentors, or underestimated the influence of the Riemann hypothesis in the world of mathematics.

This is no longer a problem that can be solved by a phone call.

"Is it really solved?"

As soon as Qiao Yu walked into Qiu Zhai, he saw Yuan Lao staring at him with his sharp eyes and asked a question.

"Yeah..." Qiao Yu nodded confidently.

"Are you sure it's correct?" Mr. Yuan asked again.

"My proof process is flawless." Qiao Yu answered confidently again.

"Tell us your ideas first, and then report to me before nine o'clock every morning starting tomorrow until you finish writing the paper. Yan Zhen and I will help you check it."

Qiao Yu glanced at Tian Yanzhen. The tutor was smiling. Noticing his gaze, he said, "I'll come and see you when I have time."

Since the tutor agreed, Qiao Yu naturally had no objection. Writing the paper was very simple, and he didn't need to revise it. It was done in three to five days.

"Oh! Um... where do I start?"

"Just start with the geometric mapping of the Riemann hypothesis and just talk about your ideas."

after an hour……

"You haven't told anyone else about this, right?"

Qiao Yu answered honestly, "Uh? Apart from Professor Xue, Director Tian and you, I only told three students in the Elite Class."

Tian Yanzhen glared at Qiao Yu, looking puzzled: "Why are you talking about this with the students in the Elite Class?"

Qiao Yu blinked, and then realized that the generation gap was inevitable...

The instructor actually doesn't understand the fun of this kind of dimensionality reduction and pretentiousness. How can he explain this?

“Okay, don’t be mean to the kid. It’s not a big deal to just tell a few classmates. Just keep it a secret from now on. Once the paper is finished, publish it on arXiv first.” Mr. Yuan made the final decision.

……

There is naturally nothing much to say about writing papers every day.

In order to allow Qiao Yu to concentrate on writing, even his cell phone was confiscated during the day.

Those who wanted to find Qiao Yu were all rejected by Tian Yanzhen and Yuan Lao.

Are you kidding me?
The moon landing project is important, the problems of the Institute of Computing Technology are important, but the Riemann hypothesis is not important?

Really, Qiao Yu had an experience of it, it felt like someone was following him even when he went to the toilet.

Of course, because he had to come to Qiuzhai every day, Qiao Yu simply lived in Huaqing. The value of a two-bedroom, one-living room apartment is still increasing.

As for Qiao Xi, she also knew about it. However, her mother was very calm about it and was not as excited as the two mentors.

Qiao Yu's comment on this is that Qiao Xi has not yet fully entered the palace of mathematics and does not understand how great this problem is...

Ok……

In fact, Qiao Yu didn't think the Riemann hypothesis was that great before. But since he solved it, it naturally became the greatest mathematical problem in the world.

Just as Qiao Yu planned, after four full days of high-intensity work, twelve hours a day, the thesis was finally completed.

No, it's only 4:30 this afternoon. I should say three days of 12 hours of intense work, plus one day of 6 and a half hours...

Qiao Yu looked at the last page on the computer, then stood up and stretched vigorously.

"Have you finished writing?" asked Mr. Yuan who was accompanying him.

"Well, Grandpa has finished writing."

"Send me today's content."

In fact, I watch it every day, so it’s not surprising that I finished Yuan Lao today.

soon……

"Just a thank you without a final summary?"

"Um...is it necessary to write a summary for this? Everyone knows the importance of this result."

"But you have to be independent! You must add a conclusion before the acknowledgments. And then write all the citations."

"Oh..." Qiao Yu nodded, and then quickly began to revise it. It took him ten minutes to finish it, and he sent it to Mr. Yuan.

Yuan Zhengxin carefully checked all parts of today's report again, mainly to see if the wording and format were correct.

But there is nothing much to say, these are Qiao Yu's strengths.

This article cites a total of five articles. In addition to Qiao Yu’s paper, it also uses some original work done on the Riemann hypothesis and older sieve methods.

In fact, except for the first article, the other four cited articles are some auxiliary derivation and verification work.

The main part of the proof still uses the theorem proved in the generalized modal space.

After reading today's part, the old man read the entire paper again and nodded.

"Okay, I'll post it on arXiv later. By the way, have you decided which journal to submit your paper to?"

Mr. Yuan suppressed his inner excitement and asked.

"Well, how about the Mathematical Yearbook?" Qiao Yu answered after thinking for a while.

Although the cooperation with JAMS was quite pleasant, Qiao Yu still thought that Lott Dugan was a pretty good person.

"Sure. Annals of Mathematics is more suitable for groundbreaking mathematical research. Send me your arXiv account and I will help you upload it. Please write the cover letter as soon as possible."

"Um... is it so urgent? How about putting it on arXiv first and letting people find faults with it?"

"Don't talk nonsense! Just do whatever you are told to do."

Well... there's nothing I can do about it. The old man is anxious, so Qiao Yu naturally has nothing to say. Anyway, things with a fixed format are easy to write.

In fact, Qiao Yu felt that he didn't even need to write this submission letter. I have proved the Riemann hypothesis, so how could the editor not know the value and significance of this research?
However, he still obediently gave his arXiv account to the old man, and then began to write a cover letter.

Of course, this kind of thing did not require Qiao Yu to concentrate too much. While writing, he could also pay attention to the movements of the old man next to him.

Publishing a paper on arXiv is not a very tedious task. However, it still needs to be reviewed. However, this review is not as strict as that of a journal, which will strictly review the correctness of the content.

It is just a simple check to see if there is anything in the paper that does not comply with general academic ethics.

Generally, except for newly registered users or users who have never uploaded a paper, it can be approved in a few hours. Even if it is slower, it will only take two working days. This is especially true for active fields such as mathematics, physics, and computer science.

Qiao Yu's account was obviously not a new account. He had previously published papers on the geometric Langlands conjecture and the generalized modal axiom system on arXiv at Tian Yanzhen's request.

So it was not wrong for Professor Yuan to ask him to finish writing the cover letter first. If it goes fast, it should be approved by the arXiv website tonight. He can submit the paper to the Annals of Princeton Mathematics the next day.

……

At the same time, Science and Technology Commission.

"Mr. Tian and Mr. Yuan are not honest. We agreed to let Qiao Yu help us build this computing platform first. But Qiao Yu published an article on JAMS again. Oh..."

After Liu Zhaoyuan finished reporting his work to Yu Yanjiang, he started complaining.

Of course, Liu Zhaoyuan was indeed qualified to complain, after all, Qiao Yu's computing platform was paid by the Institute of Computing...

There wasn't much funding for mathematics to begin with, and a huge sum of money was lost like this. It would be a lie to say I didn't feel bad.

But there is no way. The more I understand, the more I realize the value of Qiao Yu's calculation and analysis methods.

If you don't want to be left behind by the times, you really have to give this money.

At the very least, after this platform is built, the Institute of Computing Technology is most familiar with how to operate it.

"Oh? Qiao Yu published another top-tier article. I didn't really notice it. Is it about this calculation method?"

Yu Yanjiang asked.

Liu Zhaoyuan shook his head and said, "No, it's about the Riemann hypothesis."

"Oh, number theory! This is indeed not Tian Yan's idea. I really don't know why we waste time on these theories. It's impossible to put them into practice for the time being." Yu Yanjiang also complained.

There is no way, they are really waiting for this platform to go online.

"But then again, Qiao Yu's paper is still very insightful. I just don't know where their focus will be next! Why don't you give Qiao Yu a call and ask him if half a year is enough?"

Liu Zhaoyuan said.

"Hasn't your Institute of Computing Technology been cooperating with the testing work? Don't you have first-hand information yet?" Yu Yanjiang asked in surprise.

"Don't mention it. It was fine before, but I couldn't contact Qiao Yu at all this week. A lot of problems have piled up. I called Tian Yanzhen, and he directly replied that Qiao Yu had important work this week and asked us not to disturb him. It's like he's ignoring me after I paid him!"

"Haha, okay, let's do this. I'll call Tian Yanzhen tomorrow and ask him what this guy is doing."

Yu Yanjiang laughed.

Of course he knew Liu Zhaoyuan was upset. But it was still a long way to go before the six months Qiao Yu promised, and now they were asking others for help, so he naturally couldn't say much.

However, the publication of papers in top journals every day did make Yu Yanjiang feel nervous.

After all, human energy is limited. Alas... He was still thinking about how to get Qiao Yu to work at the Science and Technology Commission. But I guess Tian Yanzhen and Yuan Zhengxin will definitely not let him go, so I'm worried!

……

The large office of the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Mathematica in France.

Louis Martin took some time to go into the backend of arXiv and began to review the papers assigned to him by the system.

As a member of arXiv's global volunteer editors, he is mainly responsible for reviewing some number theory papers.

This is the mechanism of arXiv. If there are no problems with the machine review, it will be automatically pushed to the volunteer editor of the corresponding section according to the category selected by the author when submitting the paper.

Of course, these editors are not responsible for the quality of the papers. The main thing is to ensure that it is academic research and that the author has not made a mistake in the classification. And whether the language, format, abstract, etc. of the paper meet the most basic academic standards.

There is no other way. Although it is just a pre-release website, since it is an academic website, the most basic academic attitude should be maintained. At least it should ensure that the author publishes a paper, not something else.

After all, arXiv is already used by a huge number of people. If there is no restriction at all, a lot of people will take advantage of the situation.

So the voluntary work of volunteer editors is actually quite easy. They are not responsible for judging the scientific correctness anyway, and they will not care about the logic, derivation and results of the paper.

After quickly reading two papers in just 20 minutes, Louis Martin saw Qiao Yu's paper and couldn't help but laughed and said, "Oh my God, the Riemann hypothesis has been proved again."

A colleague next to him glanced at Louis Martin and said, "Reviewing papers on arXiv again."

"Yes." Louis Martin turned his head and answered.

This is actually part of the fun of reviewing on arXiv.

This open preprint platform is a real mixed bag. The seven Millennium Problems are probably proven several times a year. Many of them are even uploaded by non-professional mathematicians.

Of course, such papers are unlikely to be widely recognized by the mathematics community. But there are always people who feel that they are favored by the goddess of mathematics.

Smiling and looking away, Louis Martin opened the paper and noticed the author. Then he said in surprise: "Oh mon dieu!"

"what happened?
"This paper was published by Hua Xia Qiao."

Louis Martin's words diverted the attention of many people in the office.

"Ah bon? Huaxia Qiao announced that he has proved the Riemann hypothesis?"

"Yes! This is Hua Xia Qiao's account! I didn't even notice it just now!"

"You are so lucky, Louis, to be assigned to Huaxia Qiao's paper proving the Riemann hypothesis! He just published the modal mapping of the Riemann hypothesis under the generalized modal axiom system in JAMS! Isn't this too fast?"

Soon a group of people gathered in front of Louis Martin's computer and started watching.

Obviously, Qiao Yu's announcement on arXiv that he had proved the Riemann hypothesis is completely different from any other person's announcement that he had proved the Riemann hypothesis.

After all, Qiao Yu has been studying prime numbers for some time. First, he reduced the maximum interval between prime pairs from 246 to 6, and just completed the geometric mapping of the Riemann hypothesis.

It has now been announced that the Riemann hypothesis has been proved, and except for the fact that it happened too quickly, there is no other fault.

"There's nothing wrong with the picture, it's clear and the format is fine. What are you waiting for, Louis? Pass it quickly. I can't wait to see how he does it."

Soon my colleagues started to urge me.

No one had the patience to wait for Louis Martin to read such an important paper slowly.

As long as the manual review is passed, everyone can log in to the arXiv website to download and study it in a few minutes at most.

"You should at least let me read these thirty pages! But I think I should not have too high expectations. I don't think thirty pages can solve this problem."

"Stop talking nonsense! Louis, hurry up. Are you still qualified to evaluate Hua Xia Qiao's achievements?"

Some people were still urging, some had already picked up their phones and logged into social networks to announce the news, and some started making calls to inform their friends of the news.

It has to be said that Qiao Yu still has a very high status in the mathematics community.

When he was just in his teens, he had already solved several major mathematical problems and created a new frontier mathematical research system. He was already recognized as a child prodigy in the international mathematical community.

Louis Martin couldn't help but roll his eyes.

After all, he is a volunteer editor. How could these people say that he is not qualified to evaluate Qiao Yu's paper?
Well, he is indeed not qualified to comment! After all, he is not good at either the generalized modal axiom system or the Riemann hypothesis...

Under everyone's urging, he sped up, quickly went through more than 30 pictures, and then clicked "approved".

"Okay, okay, no need to crowd around me. I've passed!"

In fact, Louis Martin didn't need to shout, because his colleagues surrounding him had already dispersed after seeing him click the pass button.

After all, everyone is interested in the paper itself.

Regardless of whether Qiao Yu's proof can be recognized by the mainstream mathematics community, no one doubts the value of Qiao Yu's paper.

In fact, at present, every paper published by Qiao Yu is of high value. The value here, of course, refers to those imaginative mathematical methods and techniques!
Yes, every single one! Even the most demanding mathematician cannot doubt this!
This is also the reason why the editors-in-chief and editors of top journals began to ask Qiao Yu to write articles even though he was still so young and had not published many papers.

Similarly, this is probably why the news that Qiao Yu had solved the Riemann hypothesis began to spread wildly around the world in less than an hour, even though neither Yanbei University nor Huaqing University nor Qiao Yu himself had made an official announcement.

From the moment Louis Martin clicked the "Yes" button, the world mathematics community suddenly became lively!
