Chapter 486

Princeton University, Institute of Advanced Mathematics.

The Mathematics Annual is known as the largest journal in mathematics and is affiliated to the Institute of Advanced Mathematics at Princeton University.

Although it was already late at night, several offices in the Institute of Advanced Mathematics were still brightly lit.

"Bill, make me another cup of coffee!" An old professor with a white beard said to his students without raising his head.

"Professor, you haven't had a day or night. For your health, I suggest you stop working." Bill persuaded.

The old professor wearing reading glasses bent down and swept the formulas on the paper in obsessively, as if he was looking at another peerless beauty.

"Genius, what a genius brain is that he can write such a beautiful mathematical language!"

Seeing that his teacher was immersed in his own world, Bill shook his head helplessly, picked up his coffee cup and walked out of the office.

As soon as I went out, I saw a blond young man holding a coffee cup coming out of the next office. The two looked at each other, both smiling bitterly.

"Hey, Bill, what's wrong with these professors? They were so greedy for their health before. But since the dean called everyone together for a meeting the day before yesterday, they all worked like chicken blood, like they were injected with chicken blood, and they worked endlessly for dozens of hours." The blonde young man asked.

Bill shook his head, "I don't know the specific details very well."

"But I heard from the teacher that a few days ago, the Mathematics Annual Journal received submissions from four papers. At this stage, what several professors are doing is verification of these four papers. As for the content of the paper, and which mathematician was contributing these four papers, it is not clear."

"But I got a tip that tomorrow, Professor Fresnel of MIT, Professor Cobenell, Professor Dickens of Haval University, will come to our school to assist the Mathematics Annual to verify the four papers."

"Let's go... Damn!" The blonde young man was already in surprise and could not speak.

After being stunned for a long time, he murmured, "Fresnel, Coben, Dickens, these three are all Philippine award-winning bosses!"

"In addition to the three professors from our school who won the Philippine Award, there are a total of... six!"

The blonde young man salied hard, "Six Philippine Awards bosses, what are they verifying with such a luxurious lineup? Also, what kind of articles can be used to invite these six bosses!"

Today, there are only eight Philippine Award winners who are still active in the American mathematics community.

And the "Mathematics Annual" gathered six people in one go. Is this... Is the mathematics community going to have an earthquake?

…………

The blonde young man was right, and the mathematics community is indeed about to usher in an earthquake.

The editor-in-chief of "Mathematics Annual" and the editor-in-chief of Brewer, who is also the dean of the Advanced Mathematics School, had such a premonition the moment he saw Cheng Nuo's four papers.

Cheng Nuo and Editor-in-Chief Brewer are no strangers to this name.

At that time, Cheng Nuo's paper that solved the two major problems of the extremely small model program was published in the "Mathematics Annual".

Originally, at that time, Brewer saw that Cheng Nuo had great potential and extremely high mass production, so he had the idea of ​​establishing a fixed deal with Cheng Nuo.

But Cheng Nuo suddenly returned to China, and the matter was stranded.

Until later, it was reported that Cheng Nuo was conquering the BSD conjecture that this plan would be officially dead.

After that, Editor-in-Chief Brewer rarely paid attention to Cheng Nuo and rarely heard about Cheng Nuo in the international mathematics community.

Until...that day!

When Brewer saw the title of Cheng Nuo's four papers, he was completely confused.

The first reaction is, how is it possible?

Then he spent more than a day staying up late and roughly read Cheng Nuo's first paper, which is the "Three-step Proof of the BSD Conjecture".

Although there are several parts in the middle that he cannot fully understand, from a general perspective, Cheng Nuo's paper does not have any logical errors.

This surprised him.

But at the same time, it also made Brewer realize the seriousness of the situation.

The BSD conjecture has been proved to be proven?

So he immediately held a meeting to bring several top professors from the Institute of Advanced Mathematics to discuss this time.

At the meeting, Brewer handed over four papers to several professors for reading, and finally received unanimous attention from several professors.

A review team specifically targeting Cheng Nuo’s four papers was quickly formed.

The members included three Philippine Award winners and two Wolf Award winners.

But after two days of research, Brewer found that the review team was not enough.

There are four papers in total, and the paper that proves the BSD conjecture needs to be reviewed and inspected by at least five professors.

For the remaining three papers, each of which requires at least two professors to host.

There are more than 300 pages of paper in total, and the workload is quite huge.

There was no way, Princeton's manpower was almost transferred by Brewer, so he could only ask for help from other American universities.

I heard that the BSD conjecture might have been successfully proved. No one could sit still at the several universities that received the news, so he sent mathematicians to Princeton one after another.

Professor Fresnel took the nearest flight to Princeton town as soon as he got the news.

More than a year later, Professor Fresnel finally heard the familiar name Cheng Nuo!

What is involved with Cheng Nuo this time is one of the seven famous conjectures in the mathematics world, the BSD conjecture!

The moment he heard the news, Professor Fresnel was overjoyed and surprised.

After being silent for more than a year, Fresnel was really worried that his proud student would be in a slump in the setback of BSD speculation and eventually become lost in the crowd.

But now, Cheng Nuo has submitted a proof paper on the BSD conjecture to the Mathematics Annual.

Based on Professor Fresnel's understanding of Cheng Nuo, since Cheng Nuo dares to submit his paper and successfully publicize his research, he must have absolute confidence.

Cheng Nuo will never do something unsure.

Although I don’t understand how Cheng Nuo did it, Professor Fresnel is still proud of himself as a student, and also, proud!

Twenty years ago, he proved the Poincaré conjecture, one of the seven major mathematical conjectures, and became famous!

Twenty years later, his student Cheng Nuo proved the BSD conjecture among the seven major mathematical conjectures!

This will definitely become a beautiful story in the history of world mathematics.

…………

Six Philippine Award winners, four Wolf Award winners, and a total of twenty mathematicians formed a luxurious review group in the history of mathematics.

Even the review of the Poincaré conjecture proof process twenty years ago did not send so many big shots.

With the addition of several big shots, the review process was shortened by half.

After ten days of working overtime, four papers were reviewed.

The official website of Princeton Advanced Mathematics Institute also announced to the outside world this news that was enough to cause a sensation in the world:

The bsd conjecture was successfully proved!
