Rule department scholar

This is still a normal holiday.

Some laboratories have to work overtime for important research. Occasionally, it is normal to work overtime for a long time. It is good to be able to take the normal holidays.

Zhao Yi announced the holiday in advance, and they would feel relaxed, and they would be able to enter the holiday in advance after greeting the director.

Zhao Yi still has to 'work overtime and travel'.

Two days later.

Zhao Yi went to Shuimu University. It was his first visit to Shuimu University, but the tour group departed from the capital by plane and gathered at Shuimu University. He had just entered Shuimu University, and was welcomed to the Mathematical Center.

"Zhao Yi, welcome! Welcome!"

"Welcome to visit the Mathematics Center of Mizuki University!"

In the face of everyone, including Qiu Chengwen's enthusiasm, Zhao Yi felt weird. He really didn't come to visit the Mathematical Center, but just came to join the visiting group and go to the airport together.

But there is no way...

The people in the mathematics center are enthusiastic, and he can't say with a cold face that he is not here to visit, so he can only be taken around to have a look.

Fortunately, an acquaintance is here.

Chen Ming.

Chen Ming came with people from the Nuclear Energy Center of the Academy of Sciences. Like Zhao Yi, he joined the tour group as a mathematician, almost two people with mathematical calculation tools.

Zhao Yi never expected to meet Chen Ming, the first thing he was asked was, "I heard you are studying Goldbach's conjecture?"

"..."

Zhao Yi had the urge to vomit blood. He really wanted to do research in a low-key manner, but in the end he just applied for a project. How could the whole world know about it?

Li Renzhe should be blamed for this incident. It is true that he has been wronged. Li Renzhe's mouth, no matter how gossip can reach Chen Ming's ears, it can only be said by people from the Faculty of Science.

It's... very depressing!

Chen Ming took out some materials from his briefcase, "This is my research on Goldbach's conjecture, using part of the sieve method, and the content of group theory, you can take a look."

"Group theory?"

"Yes, you'll know after looking at it." Chen Mingdao, "Although my research is definitely not proven, I have given up, but maybe it can bring you some help."

"Thank you."

There are many people who know that he studied Goldbach's conjecture, but none of them offered to send materials to help.

Zhao Yi was still very moved.

He decided to discuss the content of the research with Chen Ming during the trip, maybe it could really help him?

2Chapter 17 inspection?I am a professional!

Chen Ming said that Zhao Yi was very interested in studying Goldbach's conjecture by means of group theory.

Group theory is a mathematical method.

It can be known from the name that it is the study of groups. Its important position is mainly reflected in abstract algebra. In abstract algebra, many algebraic structures, including rings, domains, and modules, can be regarded as adding new groups on the basis of groups. Formed from operations and axioms.

In other branches of abstract algebra, group theory also played a very important role.

In addition, in the research of physics and chemistry, because many different physical structures, such as crystal structure and hydrogen atomic structure, can be modeled by group theory, so group theory and related group representation theory, in physics and There are numerous applications in the study of chemistry.

But it sounds very novel to use group theory research to do number theory research, and it is also specific to prime numbers.

The prime numbers themselves can be seen as a group.

If group theory can be used to study the concept and properties of prime numbers, it is almost equivalent to cracking the mystery of prime numbers.

That is impossible.

Therefore, it is understandable that Chen Ming did not continue to study, but the most important thing is the method and angle. What method did he use to connect group theory and prime number research?

Zhao Yi carefully read Chen Ming's research content.

Chen Ming was not stingy to explain his progress to Zhao Yi. He got the inspiration from Riemann's conjecture.

Riemann's conjecture has a certain number of prime number solutions, and these prime numbers must be discontinuous, so they can be counted as a group.

This is equivalent to dividing the prime numbers.

Chen Ming hopes to group all prime numbers into small groups. For example, design ten functions whose solutions include all prime numbers, which is equivalent to grouping prime numbers into ten sets and conducting research separately.

Of course.

It is impossible for Chen Ming to think about creating ten functions. That sounds simple, but it is actually impossible.

His research is more complicated, and the method of dividing prime numbers is also very surprising. For example, he found three groups of specific prime numbers, and connected it with Goldbach's conjecture, he was able to prove that among the three groups of specific prime numbers , the combination of two pairs can cover all even numbers below ten digits.

This research result is meaningless, because for even numbers below ten digits, computers can be used to find their corresponding combinations of prime numbers that can be decomposed, and the computer can also find many groups, not just one group.

But there is no doubt that Chen Ming's research ideas are very novel.

Zhao Yi couldn't help being surprised, he had never had this kind of thinking.

It's really... amazing!

However, Chen Ming's thinking is the same way as a proof method he thought before, which is to prove that the combination of prime numbers (including themselves) can cover all even numbers.

As long as it can be proved that the combination of prime numbers can cover all even numbers, it will naturally prove Goldbach's conjecture in a broad sense.

If you take the numbers within 100 as an example, it is very easy to understand.

For example, the even number 22.

11+11=22；3+19=22；5+17=22。

The sum of the three sets of prime numbers is 22, and there are too many similar even numbers. In the field of calculation, most of the even numbers can be decomposed into a combination of more than one set of prime numbers.

Therefore, in a broad sense, the content of Goldbach's conjecture may be just a performance of the property of "the combination of prime numbers covering even numbers".

As long as the general coverage can be proved, Goldbach's conjecture is naturally unbreakable.

Zhao Yi thought carefully, and simply used "Correlation Rate", wanting to know the relationship between the research content in hand and Goldbach's conjecture.

[Failed to use! 】

"fail?"

It was the first time that Zhao Yi used a similar method to obtain the proof conditions of Goldbach's conjecture. He was mentally prepared to fail, but the failure he expected was lack of energy, not incapacity. "Why?"

Thinking about it, he took out a piece of research content in his bag, which was a proof that there must be prime numbers between n and 2n.

["Correlation Rate"! 】

[Failed to use! 】

"Still failed?"

Zhao Yi frowned tightly, he couldn't figure out why it failed directly, why it couldn't be used.

On ordinary high-number differential questions, you can use the "Relationship Rate". Lack of energy, irrelevant to the question and no feedback on the content are all understandable reasons for failure, and failure to use it directly means that the ability cannot be used for the problem. Proof of Goldbach's conjecture.

Afterwards, Zhao Yi was thinking all the time, and he was a little lethargic when talking to people.

After all the staff gathered in the afternoon, they drove to the Capital Airport together.

Zhao Yi followed the team of the Academy of Sciences all the way, walking beside Chen Ming. He only knew Chen Ming in the team, and he had seen some of the others, but they were not familiar with them.

After getting on the plane, Zhao Yi sat in his seat and was still thinking.

Chen Ming asked with concern, "You have been in a trance, are you still thinking about Goldbach's conjecture? Or do you have any doubts about my research?"

He hoped it was the latter.

No matter who spends a lot of time and energy doing research, they all hope that the research will be useful.

It would be great if I could help Zhao Yi when I was young, it would prove that I didn't waste my time and energy in vain.

Zhao Yi nodded and said, "I'm thinking about whether your method and research can be further expanded and used in the proof of Goldbach's conjecture."

"I can't think of it in a short time."

Chen Ming shook his head and smiled, "Goldbach's conjecture is a big problem. There may be more than one way to prove it. You should think according to your own ideas, but don't be led astray by my research."

Chen Ming's words made Zhao Yi feel stunned.

Yup!

Goldbach's conjecture is a world problem.

It is very difficult to solve a problem of this level, and even if it is solved, the process will be very complicated.

The important thing is that Goldbach's conjecture is a mathematical problem. Mathematical problems are not like biological research. For example, in rheumatoid arthritis, the mechanism and pathology are fixed.

If Goldbach's conjecture is true, it is certain that there is not only one way to prove its validity, but even an infinite number of ways.

The simpler the topic, the simpler the solution process; conversely, the more complex and difficult the topic, the more solutions there will be.

Group theory, maybe it can be proved.

Sieve method, also can.

Other methods are of course possible to demonstrate.

It also makes sense that the "correlation rate" can't play a role. There is no definite way to prove it. How to judge whether it has anything to do with it?

"So, maybe there are several ways to prove Goldbach's conjecture?"

Zhao Yi thought about it and shook his head silently. Not to mention several methods to prove Goldbach's conjecture, even if it is only proved by one method, it is already quite remarkable.

What he has to do now is to find a fixed path, to seek the proof of Goldbach's conjecture, and then rely on "Correlation Rate" to get clues.

"Headache."

Zhao Yi pressed his forehead hard, and Chen Ming next to him was already sleepy, and it seemed interesting to keep nodding his head.

The same goes for the people in the front row.

On the contrary, there are two middle-aged people in the back row, constantly discussing the topic of physics.

When Zhao Yi turned his head to look over, the older man in the back row waved his hand at him and said, "Zhao Yi, do you have any research on physics?"

Zhao Yi hesitated for a moment, but still asked. "You...are...?" At Shuimu University and before boarding the plane, someone introduced them one by one, but there were more than 20 people in the visiting group, and he didn't take too much effort to remember their names.

The one in front of me can only be said to be familiar, but I can't remember the specific name.

The people in the back row didn't seem to care, he took the initiative to stretch out his hand, "Ruan Wenye."

Zhao Yi suddenly said, "Academician Ruan!"

Ruan Wenye is an academician of the National Institute of Atomic Energy and a relatively heavyweight figure in the "sightseeing group".

If the country wants to build a particle collider, the National Institute of Atomic Energy must be the technical participating unit, and those who come from the Institute of Atomic Energy are the leading figures in the "tour group".

The two shake hands.

Ruan Wenye looked at Zhao Yi with a smile on his face, showing an active affinity. He was still very interested in Zhao Yi.

Mathematics and physics are not separated.

All physicists are not bad at mathematics. Because of this, Ruan Wenye knows how valuable talents are for the country to study mathematics at Zhao Yi's level.

Now I am going to see the test experiment of the large European collider. Most of the team are scholars who study physics, but I have to find a few professional mathematicians. The reason is that many data in physics need mathematics to support them. , the calculation of a lot of work will be very complicated, and they do not have enough grasp of mathematical calculations.

Ruan Wenye was more concerned about Zhao Yi's age.

Zhao Yi is already a top mathematician in the world, but he has just entered the stage of professional study at his age.

If he goes to study physics, he will definitely have some achievements.

So Ruan Wenye kindly asked Zhao Yi to participate in the topic of the two of them. They were talking about what kind of particles have mass in quantum physics, and what kind of particles "may have mass". When the topic was unknown, they turned to String theory in theoretical physics.

After listening to a few words, Zhao Yi was pulled into the topic.

Ruan Wenye asked, "What do you think of string theory?"

Zhao Yi listened to various terms such as quantum and dark matter, so he could only be a student next to him. He hadn't studied it in a targeted manner. If he wanted to understand the content, he would definitely have to learn about quantum physics.

He's not interested just yet.

Hearing Ruan Wenye's culture, Zhao Yi thought for a while and said, "I don't know much about it, so I don't believe it."

The middle-aged man next to him asked doubtfully, "Is it because you don't believe it because you don't understand?"

This is not the attitude of a scientific researcher.

"I don't believe it because there is no definite evidence to show that string theory is correct, and it will not be able to prove its correctness in another period of time." Zhao Yi explained very seriously.
