Huh?
The topic of this thesis?

Peter frowned slightly, and the left hand that picked up the coffee was directly hanging in the air.

The BSD conjecture does not belong to Peter's research field.

But as a mathematician who has covered a wide range of fields, he is naturally aware of the proof process in the field of BSD conjecture.

Since two mathematicians Ying Guo and De Gu Guo proved that the weak BSD conjecture was established nine years ago when the analytic rank was 0, there have been no breakthroughs in the field of BSD conjecture.

And this reason is not because there are too few mathematicians studying the BSD conjecture.

As one of the seven major mathematical conjectures in the millennium, coupled with the incentive of 100 million US dollars, how can there be fewer mathematicians who devote themselves to this field.

As far as Peter knows, there are no fewer than ten mathematicians who stand at the top of the world's mathematics, and their research content includes the BSD conjecture.

Among them, his old friend, Professor Michel, who is currently the deputy dean of the School of Mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley, is one of the top mathematicians who have been immersed in the field of BSD conjecture for more than ten years.

Now, seeing such a submitted paper titled "Proof of the Weak BSD Conjecture When Analytical Rank is 1", Biddle will inevitably be a little surprised.

Even he, who is not a veteran of the BSD conjecture, knows clearly that once the proof process in the paper is verified to be correct, it will definitely play a huge role in promoting the proof work of the BSD conjecture.

After calming down, Professor Peter put the cup of coffee in his hand back on the table, and his eyes behind the aging lenses showed a rare expression of seriousness.

After skipping the topic, he first looked at the signed author of the paper.

Fang Ruoyu, Cheng Nuo.

Chinese people?
Peter is not surprised by this.

Huaguo's status in the world of mathematics is increasing year by year, and with the rise of several Huaguo mathematicians, this momentum is becoming more and more obvious.

Today, several major mathematics countries headed by the United States and the United Kingdom are working hard to improve their own standards and cultivate outstanding mathematicians, so as not to be caught up by the Hua State if they are not careful.

Peter has always treated the Huaguo mathematics community with no contempt, and treats the contributions of Huaguo mathematicians with the same attitude as other countries.

Moreover, among the two, there was a name that sounded familiar to him: Fang Ruoyu.

A few years ago, he was invited to give lectures in Huaguo for a period of time. He had several conversations with Professor Fang, and he deeply felt that Huaguo was indeed a place full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

But with Fang Ruoyu's name, Peter didn't have any thoughts of contempt.

Perhaps, this Chinese mathematician can really bring surprises to the entire mathematics world, maybe?
Peter was absent-minded for a few seconds, then without hesitation, he browsed through the paper line by line.

tick tock~tick tock~
Aside, the hour hand kept turning.

Peter was sitting on the bamboo chair on the balcony, studying the contents of the paper with an extremely serious expression, as if he had forgotten the passage of time.

And the mobile phone placed on the coffee table in the living room was buzzing all the time, but Peter didn't notice it at all.

Time passed slowly, and the clock on the wall also came to three thirty in the afternoon.

Before he knew it, Professor Peter had read that paper for more than four hours.

It can be said that this has never happened since Peter served as the journal review editor.

On the balcony, Peter seemed to feel the pain in his neck, and Peter was finally dragged back to reality from the paper full of formulas.

Peter moved his sore neck, raised his wrist, and glanced at the time.

"Is it past three o'clock in the afternoon? It's really addictive!" After saying this, Peter seemed to think of something, stood up hurriedly, hurried to the living room, and picked up the mobile phone on the coffee table.

More than ten missed calls were displayed on the phone screen.

"Oh, my god!" Peter slapped his head in frustration.

It's better to have a treat with friends at noon this year. I didn't expect him to be so engrossed in that paper that he completely forgot about it.

He called back, apologized for more than ten minutes, and paid the price of several big meals before being forgiven by his friends.

After hanging up the phone, Peter returned to the balcony with his mobile phone, looked at the "culprit" on the computer screen, and smiled wryly, "The charm of mathematics is really unstoppable!"

Four hours is obviously not enough to read all of this 100-page paper.But Peter also saw almost two-thirds of the progress, and had his own judgment in mind.

It can be said that this is the most amazing paper he has seen in the past six months.

Especially the calculation of the "Eisenstein series theory" was simply a stroke of genius. When he saw this, he couldn't help but clapped his legs and applauded!
What a clever brain it is to think of this breakthrough!

amazing!

Peter suppressed his shortness of breath, picked up his cell phone, and dialed a number.

Professor Michelle of the University of California, Berkeley.

He is also his top mathematician who has studied the BSD conjecture for more than ten years.

"Oh, Peter, why did you think of calling me? I'm working on a project with a few little guys, but I don't have time to chat with you." Michelle asked with a smile after connecting.

Peter continued, "My old friend, I didn't make this call to chat with you. My time is equally precious."

"Oh? What's the matter?"

"I recently received a paper submission from two mathematicians from Huaguo."

"What does this have to do with me? I'm not interested in your magazine."

"No, you'll be interested!"

"Ok?"

"The name of the paper they submitted is called the proof of the weak BSD conjecture when the analytic rank is 1." Peter said leisurely, as if he had said something unimportant.

"What?!" Professor Michelle on the other side of the phone said in surprise. "That paper really proved the weak BSD conjecture?"

"I haven't read all of it, but judging from what I've read so far, it's not a big problem." Peter suppressed the feeling of wanting to show off in front of old friends, and said softly, "I need to publish the thesis. Shall I give you a copy? Check it out for me by the way."

It was not against the rules for Peter to do so.Sometimes, there are indeed some submitted papers, and it is impossible to judge whether the professional content in certain places is correct. At this time, it is necessary to seek help from mathematicians who are specialized in this field.

What's more, it is a proof process involving a weak conjecture of one of the seven major conjectures.

There was a long silence on the phone.

After a long time, Peter heard a soft sigh from over there, "Send it to my mailbox."

"OK!" Peter responded readily.

After hanging up the phone, Peter remembered that he hadn't eaten lunch yet, picked up his mobile phone and ordered a takeaway, Peter sat back in front of the computer, first sent a copy of the paper to Michelle, and then continued to browse the unfinished content .

While watching, he also sighed in admiration.
