Chapter 188 Hail conjecture!?

"Liu, aren't you going to dance?"

Elena looked at the six small notes, and then she was confused. Seeing the music playing now, she said quickly.

"No, I can't dance~~" Liu Yichen said helplessly.

In his last life, he was an ordinary person who went to KTV bars and danced casually. Drinking made him bold. In this life, he was busy studying and had never practiced dancing, let alone this kind of dancing.

"It doesn't matter, I'll teach you!" Elena took Liu Yichen's hand and walked over there.

Damn~~

Liu Yichen discovered that this French beauty was actually very strong. He tried to break free but couldn't break free of her hand for a while.

Attending this cocktail party were not only scholars who came to attend academic conferences, but also students from Princeton University, so it was rare to see some girls.

On the dance floor, couples of men and women were dancing.

"Put this hand around my waist, hold my hand with this hand, just like this..." Elena taught.

It's just that this was his first time dancing and he wasn't good at it at all. He always stepped on Elena's feet, which made Liu Yichen a little embarrassed.

But Elena didn't care and taught Liu Yichen to dance very patiently.

It has to be said that after many times of brain development, he has absolutely no problem in terms of IQ. He is definitely a smart person. He has a strong learning ability and quickly mastered the basic dance moves. And next, he and Elena

Dancing, getting more and more in tune.

"Liu, you are indeed a genius! You have mastered the essentials of dancing so quickly." Elena praised.

"Thank you, you taught me well." Liu Yichen said with some embarrassment.

While dancing, the two bodies were touching each other, and even though they were separated by clothes, it still made people tremble as if they were being electrocuted.

...

"Hiss, hiss~~~"

He took a breath of air, his head still heavy. He looked at himself and saw no claw marks. When he thought about it again, it seemed like nothing happened.

"Fortunately, fortunately, nothing happened. Otherwise, it would have been a huge sin and I would have become a scumbag!" Liu Yichen couldn't help but thought happily.

He drank some wine last night and danced with Elena a few times. In the end, he was so dizzy that he was so drunk that he passed out. He didn't even know how to get back to the room.

Just in case, he calmed himself down and sniffed, but found no woman's scent or traces of other people. He finally felt relieved.

"Damn it, what happened last night? Why did you lose your mind and dance with a strange woman!" Liu Yichen cursed himself a few words and reflected on it for three seconds.

Although he had to admit that Elena is sexy and beautiful, and she is not just a vase for viewing. Elena is also a top student at Princeton University. But no matter what, the bottom line must always be maintained. Who knows whether she will

Could be an FBI agent or a CIA spy.

The KGB has swallows, and there is no guarantee that the intelligence agencies with the same name will have similar roles.

Looking at the time, it was almost nine o'clock. Liu Yichen quickly got up and took a shower, brushed his teeth and washed his face. He got dressed and hurriedly left the room and headed to the meeting place.

As a result, we just happened to catch up with the academic lecture of Laurent Laforge. Laurent Laforge is a famous French mathematician. He proved the overall Langlands program corresponding to the function field, thus making a breakthrough in the two major fields of number theory and analysis.

He established new connections between fields, for which he won the 2002 Fields Medal.

France is a powerful country in mathematics and has given birth to a number of great mathematicians who are still active on the international stage.

Laurent Laforge, who is only 43 years old this year, appears to be full of energy, has a much better mental outlook than Deligne, and his thinking appears to be very clear.

But it's no wonder, after all, Deligne is already 65 years old. At this age, it is impossible to make great mathematical results.

In the world of mathematics, most of the most important mathematical achievements of mathematicians in their lives are made by people under the age of 40, because this age group is the most energetic, has the fastest thinking, and is the most daring to break through inherent thinking and find solutions to mathematical problems.

Method. After the age of 40, although experience has become richer, the speed of thinking is declining, and the body has begun to decline from its golden age.

Therefore, after the Fields Medal was established, it was aimed at young mathematicians under the age of 40. This is also the highest mathematics award that young mathematicians under the age of 40 can receive. It is for this reason that the Fields Medal was

It is regarded as the highest award in mathematics, equivalent to the Nobel Prize in mathematics.

In contrast, the Wolf Prize is more of a lifetime honor award.

Of course, this is not 100% absolute. When Wiles proved Fermat's Last Theorem, he was already 41 years old. Because his achievement in proving Fermat's Last Theorem was so amazing that the Fields Medal was awarded to him.

As an exception, a Fields Medal was awarded to him, called the Special Contribution Award.

Laurent Laforge shared his latest research results on the Langlands Program. Liu Yichen listened very carefully, holding a pen and notebook in his hand, and took notes from time to time.

It is naturally impossible for Liu Yichen not to know about the Langlands Programme.

In 1970, the 30-year-old Canadian mathematician Robert Langlands proposed a set of far-reaching conjectures in a letter to the American mathematician Andre Weil. These conjectures pointed out three relatively independent

Developed branches of mathematics: number theory, algebraic geometry and group representation theory, in fact they are closely related.

These conjectures are now known as the Langlands Reciprocity Conjectures, and later evolved into the Langlands Program, known as the 'Grand Unified Theory' in mathematics, which has had a great impact on the development of mathematics in the past few decades.

"Laurent Laverge's mathematical attainments are truly astonishing, and he is well-deserved for winning the Fields Medal!" Liu Yichen was filled with admiration after listening to the report.

Although mathematicians who win the Fields Medal are not necessarily the world's top mathematicians, they are at least the world's top mathematicians, and they are considered national treasures in any country.

"Europe's mathematical capabilities cannot be underestimated, and Chinese mathematics still has a long way to go before it can develop." Liu Yichen secretly sighed. The more he understood, the more he could feel the huge gap.

He admitted that the development of ancient Chinese mathematics was quite fast and quite advanced, such as the Pythagorean theorem, the decimal place value notation system, nine chapters of arithmetic, the abacus, etc. It can be said that it is more brilliant than ancient European mathematics.

Much more. However, since Arabic numerals were first introduced to Europe, European mathematical calculations became simpler and began a great development of mathematics. However, Chinese mathematics stagnated and was eventually left far behind.

Even now, Huaxia Mathematics is a pursuer.

Of course, this is also related to the cultural tradition of China. China does not attach much importance to mathematics. The social status of those who are proficient in mathematics in ancient China was far lower than that of Confucian scholars. Naturally, it is difficult to attract real geniuses into this field.

After the introduction of Arabic numerals in Europe, mathematics developed greatly and a large number of great mathematicians were born, who in turn laid a solid foundation for the European Industrial Revolution.

It can also be seen from this that mathematics and social development are closely linked. Mathematics may seem to deviate from reality, but it often promotes social development.

During the lunch break, Liu Yichen wrote on a draft paper while eating. The academic seminars in the past few days gave him a lot of inspiration, and sparks of inspiration were always bursting out in his mind.

"Liu, you are such a hard-working man." Just as Liu Yichen was writing furiously, a familiar voice came into his ears.

Liu Yichen raised his head and said: "Elena, when inspiration comes, you can't stop it. If you don't grasp the inspiration, you don't know when it will appear again."

It is said that serious men are the most attractive. Elena didn't think so before, but now she had to admit that this sentence made sense.

"So what math problem are you working on?" Elena asked.

"Hail conjecture!" Liu Yichen said: "I think this mathematical problem is very interesting. Maybe I can solve it this time!"

Elena curled her lips and said: "You think too much. I heard that there was a third brother in the stall who claimed that he proved the hail conjecture, but he was constantly laughed at. This level of mathematical conjecture is best before you get a doctorate.

It’s better not to touch it.”

Liu Yichen lowered his head and continued to write lines of calculations. At this time, he was immersed in the ocean of mathematics and had no intention of appreciating Elena's beauty and sexiness.

"What a boring man. Am I, a beautiful woman, not as good as a 'Hail Conjecture'?" Elena muttered secretly. She has always been full of confidence in her figure and appearance, even if she studies mathematics and physics.

The student couldn't resist her charm, but at this moment she received a critical attack from Liu Yichen who ignored her.

It's just that she was still an undergraduate student, and she found that she couldn't understand what Liu Yichen wrote. Elena propped her chin with her hand and looked at the mathematical equations that were being written carefully and from time to time with a look of contemplation.

Liu Yichen is immersed in the hail conjecture. The hail conjecture is a number theory problem and a classic problem in additive number theory. Of course, in the final analysis, it is a complex analysis problem.

Just writing, Liu Yichen frowned, and his thinking stopped, but he encountered a hurdle. If he didn't cross this hurdle, he would be unable to continue to the next step.

"This hail conjecture is interesting. No wonder it has attracted so much research, but no one has been able to prove it in the end. Even now, the mathematical community generally holds a pessimistic attitude towards it, believing that no mathematician will be able to prove it within half a century!

"Liu Yichen stopped writing and looked thoughtful.

After folding the draft paper, Liu Yichen looked up and saw Elena who was dozing off. Liu Yichen shook his head, took off his coat and put it on Elena.
