Chapter 148 Zhao Mo?I won't be worse than you!

Notebook, Kyoto University.

On this day, as usual, Watanabe Shin immersed himself in his office after class and focused on his mathematical research. He created a brand new mathematical method, or rather a theory, using an alien theater theory. It is embodied in a way to solve many conjecture problems currently encountered in the mathematical world.

Up to now, he has been studying it for nearly ten years. He thought that it had already begun to take shape, so he worked harder and harder.

However, today seems unusual.

During the research process, Watanabe Shinichi always felt uneasy, as if something big had happened, but nothing abnormal happened around him, which made him a little annoyed.

It wasn't until almost noon that a phone call from a friend broke the silence of the office. Watanabe Shinichi finally figured out what was disturbing him.

My friend said angrily: "Hey, Shinichi, hurry up and check out the arXiv website. Someone has published a paper proving the ABC conjecture..."

There was a "buzzing" in his ears, and Watanabe Shinichi was confused. He subconsciously stood up and blurted out a little Chinese quintessence: "What?"

Before he could continue to ask, his friend immediately told the story roughly: "The author is Chinese, a student from China's Wudaokou named Zhao Mo. Many mathematicians in China have recognized this proof. Go and take a look! "

Watanabe Shinichi immediately hung up the phone, opened the arXiv website immediately, and began to search for Zhao Mo's ABC conjecture proof paper.

An hour later, Watanabe Shinichi slumped in his position, with a lost expression on his face, muttering to himself: "This is impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"

I think Watanabe Shinichi studied under the mathematics master Faltings and studied number theory for more than ten years. He has been struggling to verify the ABC conjecture but has not made much progress. How can a person who has only studied mathematics for one year prove the ABC conjecture?

He doesn't believe it!

After a while, Watanabe Shinichi suddenly sat up straight again, his face flushed and he stared at the computer screen closely, muttering to himself: "It must be fake, there must be errors in it, I haven't proven it yet." Come out, how can he prove it? Yes, that's it, there must be something wrong in it...Aha, I found it, yes, it is here, there is no self-proof here..."

Watanabe Shinichi saw a difficult point on the second page of No. 20 and found that it was full of contradictions and violated general mathematical concepts. This was obviously an error.

He suddenly became happy and immediately wanted to raise his doubts.

But the next moment, the page refreshed, and an obviously different message popped up. It was Qiu Chengtong, the "Caesar" in mathematics, who made a comment.

Watanabe Shindou looked at it and couldn't help but muttered: "Congratulations, Zhao Mo, you..."

I stopped reading the words at the beginning, so I don’t need to read them anymore.

Qiu Chengtong actually thought that Zhao Mo's proof was valid!
Watanabe Shinichi was slumped, leaning on his chair in frustration, not wanting to move at all.Not only did his body lose strength, but his spirit and spirit also lost strength.

He is the most authoritative mathematics master Faltings after studying under the mathematics emperor Grothendieck, but Qiu Chengtong's mathematical attainments are not necessarily lower than his teacher.Compared to him, he must have surpassed who knows how many positions.

Qiu Chengtong has admitted it, so what's the use of his doubts?
I don't know how long it took, but the door of the office was suddenly pushed open, and his friend Ryuji Sakamoto, who is also a professor at Kyoto University, broke in.

As soon as he saw Watanabe Shinichi like this, Sakamoto Ryuji immediately became anxious and said quickly: "Shinichi, please cheer up. This paper may not be correct. There is still hope for your research!"

The depressed Watanabe Shinichi turned his eyes slightly and came back to life.

However, when he came to his senses, he immediately smiled bitterly, pointed at Qiu Chengtong's comments on the computer screen and said, "You probably didn't see Qiu Chengtong's comments, right? I have no hope!"

Sakamoto Ryuji was stunned and subconsciously looked at the computer screen.

Soon, Sakamoto Ryuji froze and did not move for a while. He was obviously shocked by Qiu Chengtong's comments.

A truly amazing job done!
This evaluation can be said to be final.

Even Qiu Chengtong is so sure, even if others have objections, they must weigh it.What's more, with Qiu Chengtong's current mathematical level, it is impossible to make a wrong judgment.

Therefore, Watanabe Shinichi has no hope of becoming the only prover of the ABC conjecture.

"Wait a minute, Shinichi, he used his method to prove it. You can use your alien theater theory to prove it. There is no conflict~"

Suddenly, Sakamoto Ryuji figured it out and persuaded Watanabe Shinichi with excitement.

Watanabe Shinichi was stunned when he heard this. Yes, if I prove it in my own way, it will be the same. Who has stipulated that there is only one method for this ABC conjecture?

With this thought, Watanabe Shinichi became lively again. He jumped up from his position and immediately edited a paper, using his alien theater theory to describe his latest research on proving the ABC conjecture. , and then uploaded it to the arXiv website, focusing on promoting his alien theater theory.

"Awesome, Shinichi, you are our pride!"

Ryuji Sakamoto was watching from behind him as he wrote the paper and uploaded it. He was amazed and praised him repeatedly.

Watanabe Shinichi stood up, stretched and moved his body, and said modestly: "This is nothing, I just did a little work."

Sakamoto Ryuji naturally admired him again.

Afterwards, Watanabe Shinichi and Sakamoto Ryuji, who had regained their mood, went to eat together.

By the time they came back, it was already dark.Watanabe Shinichi was anxious to see how his alien theater theory would react in the mathematical community, so he logged into the arXiv website to check it out as soon as he came back.

He first took a look at the ABC conjecture proof paper published by Zhao Mo and found that in addition to Qiu Chengtong, some other mathematicians had given positive judgments, including the famous mathematical genius Tao Zexuan who just won the Fields Medal last year.

Tao Zexuan commented: "This paper is very beautifully written. The following is the simplest proof process of Fermat's last theorem that I wrote after reading this paper. Let a=, b=, c=, where a +b=c; because c ≤ (rad (abc)), that is ≤ (rad ()) ≤ (xyz) <; so n < 6, and the situation of n = 3, 4, 5 has been proved by Euler et al. , so Fermat’s last theorem is proved!”

Watanabe Shinichi: "..."

What's going on with these people?Are the eager announcements proven to be successful?

Sakamoto Ryuji on the side comforted him and said: "Shinichi, there is no need to read this. Let's read your paper."

"Hi~"

Watanabe nodded, and then turned to the page of his paper.

Pulling down, a line of bright red text was so dazzling that it made Watanabe Shinichi's eyes and face turn red instantly.

The evaluator was Tao Zexuan, who wrote: "...In my opinion, it is a very strange thing if this system can only be used to prove the ABC conjecture but has no other external meaning."

This was said very tactfully, but Shinichi Watanabe could still see that he was saying that his so-called alien theater theory was completely useless.

"What does he know? He knows nothing!"

When Watanabe Shinichi was so angry that he couldn't speak, Sakamoto Ryuji had already cursed angrily, and then said: "Shinichi, don't worry about him, he doesn't understand your theory at all."

Watanabe Shinichi finally regained his breath. He felt that Sakamoto Ryuji was right.

Yes, Tao Zexuan doesn't understand his theory at all, so he can completely ignore Tao Zexuan's evaluation.

So Watanabe Shinichi ignored it and didn't even reply to Tao Zexuan's comment. He just said: "You are right. What I have to do now is to complete this proof!"

"That's right! Come on, Shinichi!"

Sakamoto Ryuji waved his fist and encouraged him.

Hans Cat, University of North Rhine Bonn.

"Unexpectedly, not only Qiu Chengtong approved this paper, but Tao Zexuan also approved it~"

Schultz, who had just entered this school, opened the arXiv website, saw Zhao Mo's paper, and then saw the evaluations of Qiu Chengtong and Tao Zexuan, and was immediately amazed.

As a famous mathematical genius who won three gold medals and one silver medal in the International Mathematical Olympiad, Schultz went to college a little late. He was born in 1987 and is now 20 years old. And those mathematical geniuses are all ten He went to college at the age of six or seven.

However, going to school late cannot overwhelm Schulz’s genius. He is now a frequent visitor to the arXiv website and often pays attention to recent research and developments in the mathematics world.

He was a genius in arithmetic and geometry, but he was also fascinated by number theory and various conjectures.

What he didn't expect was that the ABC conjecture, which he thought would take decades to solve, would be solved at this time, which gave him great surprise and surprise.

Then, he looked at the information about the author of this paper.

Zhao Mo, the Chinese boy, is actually two years younger than him!
"Oh! God, this is shocking~"

Schultz exclaimed with such disbelief that when he returned to the classroom, his consciousness was a little distracted and he had no idea how he got back to the classroom.

"What's wrong, Schultz? Are you in a bad situation?"

His mentor, Professor El, noticed his situation and asked with concern.

Schultz came back to his senses and replied with a wry smile: "Professor, did I learn too late?"

Professor El asked gently: "Why do you say that?"

Schultz hesitated for a moment and then told the story.

"That's it~"

Professor El nodded, but was not surprised, but said with a smile: "Schulz, mathematics research is not measured by age, nor by how early or late one starts learning, but by one's wisdom and Measured by belief. Whoever has higher wisdom and firmer belief can create higher achievements in mathematics. Schulz, you are a real genius, I believe your future will not be worse than him, You also have to believe in yourself.”

Schultz was very moved when he heard this, nodded sharply, and then said: "Yes, Professor, you are right, I will definitely not be worse than him!"
