Xueba starts with change

Chapter 208 Choose a journal and submit a manuscript (34)

After so many days, I finally got a good night's sleep.

When he woke up in the morning, Chen Zhou only felt full of energy.

In addition, people are in good spirits on happy occasions, so when he was washing himself, looking at himself in the mirror, Chen Zhou only felt that this person seemed to be getting more and more handsome!

After breakfast, Chen Zhou, who came to the library again, began to fill in the thesis according to the small parts divided the night before.

For Chen Zhou, writing a thesis is already a relatively familiar thing.

Calculating carefully, from the cooperation with Shen Jing, to the UPC competition paper, and then to the subject paper analyzed by Clifford, Chen Zhou, as the first author and second author, has handled as many as three papers.

Especially the topic papers analyzed by Clifford have accumulated enough experience in writing papers for Chen Zhou.

It's just that Wu Xiping helped modify that paper, so he can only rely on himself for the current paper.

It's not that you can't ask Wu Xiping for help, but the hail conjecture belongs to the category of abstract algebra and number theory, not Wu Xiping's research direction.

So, instead of bothering others, it is better to rely on yourself.

And there will be many papers in the future, so why bother Wu Xiping all the time?

Chen Zhou is afraid that he will sacrifice Professor Wu's time with the baby...

One day is not enough for Chen Zhou to sort out the thesis.

It was time to stay in the library until closing time.

Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi packed up their respective materials and prepared to return to the dormitory.

Just when Chen Zhou was holding a piece of draft paper and was about to put it together.

His hand held firm.

The calculation formula on the draft paper caught his attention.

Chen Zhou frowned slightly.

Taking another look at the contents of the draft paper, Chen Zhou slowly sat down on the chair.

Pick up a pen and circle the numbers on the draft paper.

Then he wrote a line of calculations next to it.

Habitually tapping the draft paper with a pen, Chen Zhou frowned deeply.

On the draft paper, a big hairball has been spotted with a black pen.

But Chen Zhou still didn't figure it out.

Shaking his head slightly, he picked up the pen and crossed out the formula.

Then move on to packing.

At this time, Yang Yiyi, who had already tidied up and stood beside her, silently glanced at the formula that Chen Zhou had crossed out.

【limn→∞sup(Pn+1-Pn)/(lnPn)=1】

Yang Yiyi just felt dumbfounded, what the hell is this? What is Pn?
Sure enough, physics is more interesting than mathematics...

I thought so, but when I left the library and walked to the nameless lake with Chen Zhou, Yang Yiyi still couldn't help asking: "Chen Zhou, what was the last line you wrote?"

"A formula?" Chen Zhou thought for a while, then said with a smile, "Did you see it? That's the formula that Kramer guessed."

Yang Yiyi: "Kramer's conjecture?"

Glancing at Yang Yiyi, who obviously didn't know what it was, Chen Zhou explained: "Many mathematicians believe that the largest prime number interval is likely to be much larger, um, an order of magnitude greater than (logX) 2. And (logX) 2 Prime intervals of the order of magnitude occur when primes behave like collections of random numbers."

"Aiming at this problem of the distribution of prime numbers, Kramer proposed a conjecture, which is the formula you saw. The Pn in the formula refers to the nth prime number."

After a pause, Chen Zhou continued: "So far, no one has been able to give an accurate answer on how far apart consecutive prime numbers are. Although in 2014, Professor Terence Tao and four other mathematicians proved that Erdous's conjecture became the most significant breakthrough in the problem of prime number intervals in 76 years."

"But the prime number interval proposed by the Eiders conjecture is much smaller than that of Krammel's conjecture!"

Speaking of this, Chen Zhou stopped talking.

Because for Yang Yiyi, he doesn't need and doesn't need to say so much.

Judging from his relationship with Yang Yiyi, it is impossible for Yang Yiyi to transfer to the research of mathematics major.

As for prime numbers, or the direction of number theory, in this case, it is almost impossible for Yang Yiyi to come into contact with.

Yang Yiyi looked at Chen Zhou half-understood, thought for a while, and asked softly: "Then why did you write this formula?"

A look of regret appeared on Chen Zhou's face: "For a moment, I felt that I had grasped the key to solving Kramer's conjecture. But it turns out that I was thinking too much."

Hearing this, Yang Yiyi encouraged her with a smile: "Maybe it's not time yet. When the inspiration comes, I believe you can catch it. It's like the hailstone conjecture this time."

Chen Zhou smiled: "I hope."

Inspiration is something that happens in an instant. If you miss the opportunity, it is almost impossible to get it back.

What's more, this is still mathematics, or number theory, the direction that needs the most inspiration.

However, Chen Zhou is also making plans silently.

Starting from Kramer's conjecture, there may be many unexpected gains on this line.

Moreover, he vaguely felt that what the system said earlier would be fulfilled after this task was completed.

After spending two days, Chen Zhou finally finished the thesis on the hail conjecture.

It was also translated into English papers, and converted into PDF format.

The next step is to choose a mathematics journal for submission.

The hail conjecture is a purely mathematical problem, which belongs to the direction of abstract algebra and number theory, so there are many choices of journals for submission.

But in any case, the hailstorm conjecture is also a world-class problem. No matter how many journals you submit to, you have to choose a journal that is enough to rank.

And Chen Zhou has to consider the impact factor.

After all, this is linked to system tasks.

After much deliberation, Chen Zhou finally decided to choose one of the four major mathematics journals.

According to incomplete statistics, from 1998 to the present, Huaguo research institutions have published only about 67 papers in the four major international mathematics journals.

Even among them, there are only about 10 papers that are completely completed by research institutions in mainland China.

Therefore, in the past, those who could publish an article in these journals were even considered eligible to be elected as academicians of the Huaguo Academy of Sciences.

It can also be seen from this that it is difficult to publish papers on the four kings of mathematics journals.

Among the four heavenly kings, it is generally believed that the Annals of Mathematics, jointly published by Princeton University and the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study, is the most compelling.

This journal is also recognized by the mathematics community as the most authoritative journal in mathematics.

However, judging from the data, in the past 20 years, Huaguo scholars have not published an average of one paper in the "Annual of Mathematics" a year.

About two articles in three years.

Of course, this is not the most embarrassing journal for Chinese scholars.

The most embarrassing journal for Chinese scholars is the "Acta Mathematica" sponsored by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, which is also the Four Heavenly Kings.

In the past 20 years, Huaguo scholars have only published 5 papers in the "Acta Mathematica Sinica".

It can be described as pitiful.

As for the other two of the Four Heavenly Kings.

One is "New Advances in Mathematics", which was founded by Springer in Germany.

In the past 20 years, Huaguo scholars have been able to publish 2 articles a year on average, which is also a relatively friendly journal for Huaguo scholars.

The other is "Journal of the American Mathematical Society", which is a journal run by the American Mathematical Society. From the data point of view, the publication difficulty is similar to that of "Annual Mathematical Sciences".

Therefore, Chen Zhou felt that "New Advances in Mathematics" was the best choice.

Because this is the first time he has contributed to a world-class top journal, he should analyze it rationally.

Choose a friendlier journal.

However, Chen Zhou did not choose "New Advances in Mathematics".

He chose, the most unfriendly "Acta Mathematics".

Aren't you unfriendly to our Chinese scholars?
Then I'll hit you with a paper that proves a world-class problem!
