I just want to be a quiet and powerful person

Faguo.

As the director of the National Institute of Science of France, Artur Avila had never been famous before.

It was not until he won the Fields Medal at the International Congress of Mathematicians last year that he became famous all over the world.

This mathematician from Brazil, who has never received a doctorate in North America or Europe, has perfectly explained to mathematicians around the world what it means to"fly without flying".

At the same time, his deeds have also inspired many mathematicians in developing countries.

You can still achieve great results without going to Europe and the United States to study.

At this time, it was afternoon.

The afternoon sun shines into the office from the window. During his lunch break, Avila sips coffee and leisurely logs into the editorial backend of Journal of Mathematics.

Just after winning the Fields Medal last year, he was hired as the academic editor of Acta Mathematica.

Of course, there is no salary for this job, it is purely voluntary labor.

But for him, it is an honor and recognition.

Of course, big guys like them are more willful when reviewing manuscripts.

Most of the time, you select papers that you are interested in for review.

Number Theory!

You heard me wrong, it’s number theory.

Although he won the Fields Medal for his profound contribution to the theory of dynamical systems using the powerful idea of ​​renormalization as a unifying principle, his first field of research was number theory when he was a PhD student at the Institute of Mathematics in Brazil.

Well, a guy who studied number theory won a Fields Medal using correspondence.

Maybe this is the boss!

In fact, many big names in mathematics originally studied number theory, because number theory is a very interesting field in basic mathematics.

The so-called fun is for those who love mathematics.

When ordinary people face number theory, most of their thoughts are... what the hell is this? who I am? where am I?

What am I doing?

In fact, Avila's idea is easy to understand. Once you have achieved success, you will naturally want to return to your original aspiration.

First, I searched for the keyword"twin primes", and the page immediately displayed a large number of papers on twin primes.

Half an hour later, Avila couldn't help curling his lips in disappointment, then tapped the keyboard again and entered the keyword"Messenne Prime Number"

"Um?"

As he watched, a paper attracted his attention

【Regarding the proof of Zhou’s conjecture (Messenne’s prime number distribution conjecture)]

Proof of Zhou’s conjecture?

Avila raised her eyebrows, suddenly interested.

To be fair, he had such a reaction because he had only been an academic editor for a short period of time.

If some old editors see such a paper title, they will just sneer at it, because they will see at least hundreds of similar papers every year that claim to prove Zhou's conjecture.

But without exception, these papers are useless papers with no reference value at all.

After clicking on the paper, he first glanced at the author column subconsciously.

XIAN-LIN?

Chinese?

This name, which seemed a little weird to him, reminded him of a friend, Terence Tao. interesting.

Thinking of this, Avila asked his assistant to brew a cup of coffee for him, then downloaded the paper and slowly tasted it.

"Your coffee, sir."

A few minutes later, the assistant walked into the office with coffee.

However, Avila did not react at all. He was completely immersed in the paper.

Upon seeing this, the assistant shrugged, put down the coffee, and exited the office.

She was already used to this situation.

When a mathematician enters work mode, it is meaningless to discuss time with him.

Two hours later, Avila finally finished reading the paper

"hiss!"

Taking a deep breath, Avila picked up the already cold coffee and drank it in one gulp.

"It’s incredible, like a work of art, flawless!"Avila's eyes shone, and he couldn't help but praise.

Zhou's guess itself has great mathematical beauty.

And Lin Xian's proof played the finishing touch, taking this beauty to a higher level.

The whole thing This paper is extremely smooth, and there is no flaw in the argument formula.

In Avila's eyes, this paper is like a worker who has worked hard all day in the dog days of summer and drinks a bowl of iced sour plum soup, so refreshing and comfortable.

Out Due to the caution of a mathematician, Avila re-examined this paper while excited.

This proof is too perfect, but precisely because of its perfection, it makes people a little unbelievable.

As a reviewer of"Acta Mathematica", He must be responsible for the reputation of the journal, as well as his own reputation.

If a wrong proof is published, it will be a disaster for the Journal of Mathematics.

As a reviewer, he He would also be laughed at by the industry.

Thinking of this, Avila picked up a pen and paper, and while reviewing the paper, he checked the formulas in the paper. After an unknown amount of time, Avila put down the pen in his hand and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Completely Correct!

Zhou's guess will become Zhou-Lin's theorem from this moment on!

Picking up the phone, he couldn't wait to share this joy with his friends

……

…… noon.

After giving Ling Youyu the dream treatment as usual, Lin Xian sent her back to the dormitory, and then walked to the office building of the Institute of Science and Technology at a leisurely pace.

People are in high spirits when happy events happen, and Lao Dai looks good recently. People who don't know the inside story may think that he has a second youth.

Seeing Lin Xian walking into the office, he raised his eyebrows and said,"What's the matter with you kid? You're not here to ask for leave, are you?""

"Teacher Dai, am I so unreliable in your mind? Lin Xian curled his lips and said

"hehe! Lao

Dai sneered and said,"Your counselor's name is Qi Jia, right?" When Lao Zhang sent her a notice yesterday, the little girl was jumping up and down with joy, but she almost didn't set off firecrackers."

This... for a moment, Lin Xian's face was filled with black lines.

Seeing this, Lao Dai took a sip of tea and continued:"From the beginning of the school year to now, how many classes do you think you have had? It’s not easy for a little girl. If anything happens in the future, don’t ask her, just tell me directly."

"OK! Lin

Xian nodded and said,"Teacher Dai, I'm a little bored lately. Please recommend some books to me!""

Speaking of this, Dai Pingbo couldn't help but sigh, and said with some self-deprecation:"I won't mislead you, just read whatever book you like!"
