Chapter 221 It’s a storm!
The auditorium of the Centennial Lecture Hall was already full of people. For the many mathematicians in the back row who were not very fluent in information and the worldly students, there was not much impatience at this time.

They didn't even know that Qiao Yu hadn't arrived at the venue yet.

But the big guys sitting in the front row were already looking at the time frequently. It was already 9:28.

Not only was the podium still empty, but the seat of Tian Yanzhen, who had just vowed to bring Qiao Yu to attend the lecture on time, was also still empty.

This cast a shadow over many people's hearts.

Oh my goodness... Could it be that today's report meeting really needs to be postponed? For the Chinese people who are extremely rigorous in hosting large-scale events, especially international events, this should be considered a major accident, right?
Many people were also secretly observing Peter Schultz who was sitting in the front row. However, his gloomy face, which seemed to say "No strangers allowed", ultimately stopped others from wanting to chat with him.

There's no need to make yourself unhappy.

In an occasion like today, if I approached someone to talk and was ignored, it would be very embarrassing. Especially who knows if the scene would be recorded by a camera and played repeatedly for many years to come.

Just like that, when the time came to 9:29, the music in the auditorium finally stopped, and then Tian Yanzhen hurriedly walked up to the podium...

Everyone in the front row looked over immediately.

The scholars in the back row and on the second floor probably sensed that the atmosphere of today's lecture was a bit weird from the countless messages and looks that were passed around, and the entire venue fell silent almost instantly.

Tian Yanzhen stood on the podium, trying to control his emotions, and said seriously: "Thank you very much for coming to Qiao Yu's lecture today. As the host of today's lecture, I have a piece of news to inform everyone.

Today's lecture needs to change the topic temporarily. The changed topic is "From the Riemann-Joy Theorem to the Joy Modal Space: The Key to a New Era of Mathematics". Now, please welcome today's speaker, the new Fields Medal winner and my student, Joy, to give us a report. "

Countless mathematicians in the audience began to look at each other in confusion.

A metaphor for modal space?
what?
This symposium was the first symposium after the International Congress of Mathematicians. Its original title was "Development of Mathematics in the Post-Riemann-Jones Theorem Era".

The main content of the report should be the outlook and analysis of the future development of mathematics, especially number theory, after the Riemann hypothesis is solved. This is also the most normal thing.

The topic of the report meeting was temporarily changed. Does this mean that Qiao Yu has made another breakthrough in his research in just two months?

No, not even two months.

The International Congress of Mathematicians was held at the end of July, and today is only mid-September.

A major breakthrough in just over a month. Is this why Peter Schultz lost his composure? Many people looked at Peter Schultz, but the mathematical genius just stared at the stage without any reaction.

Many people also looked at Yuan Zhengxin who was sitting in the middle of the first row. But Yuan's skill in cultivating qi was beyond words, and he sat there with a smile on his face, and nothing could be seen.

As for Tian Yanzhen...

In fact, he was not the originally scheduled host for today. The main reason was that Qiao Yu did not play by the rules, and he was afraid that the original host would not be able to hold up the stage...

I just had some trouble with Qiao Yu's request.

After all, it is not common for such a large public report to suddenly change the subject at the last minute. If Qiao Yu had not revealed some shocking information when he persuaded him, he would not have agreed at all.

But Qiao Yu convinced him with just a few words, so he had to temporarily take over as the host.

Fortunately, for the big guys in the front row, the unexpected development of this report was already within their expectations.

However, many people still subconsciously looked at Peter Schultz.

At this moment, the genius German mathematics professor was looking at the stage seriously, and it was unlikely to tell his mental activities from his bearded face.

Just when everyone had different ideas, someone noticed that the staff carried a whiteboard to the podium, and after a brief communication, pointed a camera at the whiteboard so that the content on it could be displayed on the big screen.

After doing all this, it was already 9:30, the time when the report meeting was scheduled to start. Qiao Yu had already walked in from the backstage wearing a gray T-shirt and light blue jeans.

If you really want to be picky, then this outfit is obviously too casual for this occasion. Qiao Xi, who was sitting next to Mr. Yuan, couldn't help but frown.

This guy really doesn't care about his clothes. The most annoying thing is that his clothes are wrinkled. Wait, he even has dark circles under his eyes. No wonder she couldn't contact this guy last night.

On such an important day, this kid really stayed up all night yesterday?

Qiao Xi glared at the guy who fell out of her body on the stage. Qiao Yu was just looking at her and raised his hand and waved with high spirits.

Although it looks a bit decadent, it has a special spirit.

It's just that we arrived too late, otherwise we would at least put some makeup on him to cover it up.

……

“Welcome everyone to the Centennial Hall to attend my public lecture today. My mentor, Academician Tian, ​​has just informed everyone that the topic of our lecture has changed. First of all, I would like to thank Mr. Peter Schultz.

The communication between us has made my inspiration flow at a speed as wonderful as a volcanic eruption. I believe everyone can understand how happy it is to have such a magical feeling of inspiration that cannot be stopped. "

No one wanted to look at Peter Schultz anymore.

Who would like to stare at a bearded man with a stern face?
If you watch it too much, you may even offend people.

But when Qiao Yu said these two sentences, everyone couldn't help but look at Peter Schultz a few more times.

To be honest, they both looked not very well. They both looked unkempt, and if one had good eyesight and looked carefully enough, one could even see that their eyes were full of bloodshot.

This is enough to show that the sleep quality of both of them must not be good in the past two days.

But there are actually some differences.

Peter Schultz in the audience was obviously depressed, but Qiao Yu on the stage was obviously in good spirits.

"Let's get back to the point. The theme of this report has changed. What I am about to talk about is Qiao Yu modal space. First of all, I want to give a definition of Qiao Yu modal space.

As the name suggests, this is a completely new mathematical structure. The construction of space is not simply based on metrics and norms, but through the category theory components within the generalized modal axiom system, it can naturally be compatible with the needs of probability theory, topological dynamical systems and quantum field theory.

I believe that everyone understands that this is not only a mathematical abstract space, but in my opinion, it is more likely to be the future of quantum mechanics. Because the emergence of Qiao Yu modal space was originally intended to completely replace the position of Hilbert space in quantum physics research through its advantages. "

……

At this moment, the auditorium of the century-old lecture hall, which can accommodate 2,000 people, was so silent that you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone was looking at the excited young man on the stage, and most people's heads were buzzing. The big guys sitting in the front row were even more so.

They probably understood why Peter Schultz suddenly became so depressed...

We just solved the Riemann hypothesis, why are we suddenly challenging Hilbert space? No, not challenging, but replacing...

This can no longer be described as arrogance.

In other words, at this time, the mathematicians in the auditorium did not know what Qiao Yu said at the door of the Centennial Lecture Hall, otherwise they would probably have been able to feel that cracks had appeared in the old mathematical load-bearing pillars.

……

Lot Dugan swallowed unconsciously, then looked at Pierre Delini who stood beside him with a serious face.

He has completely forgotten the differences between China and the United States.

His brain was a mess at this time. After being surprised, he couldn't help but lower his voice and asked, "He really did it? Can he completely replace Hilbert Space?"

Pierre Delini did not answer the question directly. Instead, he glanced at Peter Schultz who was sitting not far away and said casually: "Think about Peter Schultz."

Hearing this, Lot Dugan couldn't help but glance at Peter Schulz who was not far away. The German mathematics professor still maintained his previous appearance, concentrating on looking at the young man on the stage.

In fact, after the silence, whispers could be heard in the hall. After a short period of shock, people tend to want to communicate.

Even Tao Xuanzhi almost couldn't help but ask Peter Schultz next to him again.

However, after Qiao Yu on the stage said that, he took a few dozen seconds to let everyone digest what he had just said, and then started to move forward again.

"…In Hilbert spaces, we usually define orthogonality using the inner product, but in quantum computing and some topological field theory applications, the standard inner product is sometimes limited.

Qiao Yu modal space introduces a new type of modal operator, which allows us to define the relationship between vectors in a more general way, so that it has the operability of functional analysis, but at the same time is compatible with the nonlinear structure of quantum systems..."

While giving his report, Qiao Yu walked to the whiteboard that had just been moved to the podium, picked up the pen below, and wrote a formula on the whiteboard.

After writing, when he moved away, the formula he wrote also appeared simultaneously on the huge electronic screen behind him, ensuring that the mathematicians sitting in the back row could see it clearly.

"Here φk is a set of modal transformations, which is different from the traditional measure transformation. Instead, it combines the embedding theory of topological dynamical systems, so that the system can still maintain computational stability under non-trivial topology..."

When Qiao Yu directly started talking about the practical stuff, the auditorium fell completely silent.

For the reporters at the scene, this was definitely the most boring moment. In fact, not only the reporters, but also many mathematicians sitting a little further back were also confused at this time.

It cannot be said that they did not prepare. In fact, when they were invited to attend this public lecture, everyone had reviewed Qiao Yu's thesis research many times.

Many serious professors and students even wrote down the questions that they did not understand in the paper, as well as some derivative questions, waiting to have them answered at the conference.

But who could have imagined that the subject of this public report meeting was temporarily changed, and the useful information presented was something I had never come across before, so I could only listen to it in a daze.

I feel that the things that Qiao Yu talked about seem somewhat familiar, but most of them are actually still unfamiliar.

Some people even took out their phones and started searching on the paper pre-release website, but unfortunately no relevant papers were found...

Without publishing or undergoing any peer review, they just publish it and talk about it? What kind of confidence is this!

Is this imitating Sir Atiyah? You know, that incident was a joke. At that time, this big shot claimed to have solved the Riemann hypothesis and even held a public report meeting.

Unfortunately, even the knight's colleagues did not approve of his proof at the time.

Although Qiao Yu solved the Riemann hypothesis, whether the Qiao Yu modal space he proposed can truly replace the Hilbert space is not something that can be said casually!

This requires not only the recognition of many mathematicians, but also the recognition of many physicists who study quantum mechanics.

When Qiao Yu talks about a bunch of abstract concepts on stage, who can immediately tell whether this theory is valid or not? And whether it can really replace Hilbert space?

Even if Peter Schultz helps, it won’t work!
So Qiao Yu spoke very seriously on the stage, and many bigwigs in the front row also listened very seriously, but many people sitting in the back row and on the second floor couldn't wait any longer.

In fact, mathematics is fair to everyone.

Whether it is a professor or a student, when they feel that they cannot understand a certain part, everything that is said afterwards becomes incomprehensible and they will unconsciously feel sleepy.

Really, just after Qiao Yu spoke with high spirits and excitement for nearly an hour and a half, a slight snoring sound came from a corner on the second floor of the auditorium...

Of course, more people didn't fall asleep, but there were already sounds of whispers.

At this point, Qiao Yu finally finished talking about his general ideas.

"...As I just said, Qiao Yu modal space has advantages over Hilbert space that the latter cannot match.

These advantages are tangible. For example, the day before yesterday, when I was reconstructing a modal space, I calculated some interesting things.

That's why I came a little late today. From the night before last till now, I have been working hard to turn this idea into reality.

Fortunately, I succeeded. I borrowed the small computer room that Xiyu Technology Company spent about 20 million to build, as well as Qiao Yu Modal Space..."

At this point, Qiao Yu paused deliberately, then puffed out his chest and said, "I optimized the Shor algorithm, and then at 9:10 this morning, I calculated two new Mersenne primes!"

When Qiao Yu said the last sentence in a light tone, countless people in the audience suddenly stood up from their seats and looked at Qiao Yu in horror, who was acting calmly on the stage.

After a brief shock, all kinds of noisy sounds in the hall suddenly rose, and the snoring on the second floor that had just grown louder suddenly stopped. A professor who was sleeping soundly was awakened by the sudden uproar. He opened his eyes and looked blankly at the many people around him who had stood up and looked down...

Some people held their phones high up, recording what was happening below...

"What happened?" The guy who just woke up pulled his colleague who was recording with his mobile phone and asked in surprise.

"Qiao Yu used his new theory to find two new Mersenne primes. Fuck... Look, this... This has more than 2000 million digits more than the largest prime number in existence!!"

When the person who was awakened looked at the podium below in a daze, the first thing he saw was two strings of handwritten numbers on the big screen...

Yes, Qiao Yu ignored the noise from the audience at all. After announcing his results, he turned around again and directly announced two new Mersenne prime numbers facing the whiteboard!
