Rule department scholar

Now Liu Hemin said sourly that he gave up halfway, he was really joking with Zhao Yi, but he mainly exposed the 'insider' to Zhao Yi, meaning 'you have been booked to become an academician of the Faculty'.

Looking at the message from Liu Hemin, Zhao Yi didn't feel anything special.

Evaluated as a Bachelor of Mathematics?

Zhao Yi didn't care about it at all. He even knew two or three names of which academicians recommended him as a candidate, and he heard it from other people.

After completing Fermat's conjecture, he will be considered the number one mathematician in the world, and he is already "the number one in the world". What difference does it make if he has the title of "Master of Mathematics"?

So Zhao Yi just replied with a laughing expression, and added a few words by the way, "Congratulations, thank you!"

"Congratulations……?"

Liu Hemin replied quickly.

Zhao Yi calmly typed a dozen words, "It's better to quit by yourself than to be dismissed."

"...when I didn't ask."

Liu Hemin on the other side of the network cable coughed several times, as if he felt a cloud-piercing arrow piercing his heart at the speed of light along the network cable.

at the same time.

Public opinion in the academic world is still focused on the proof of Zhao Yi's Fermat conjecture.

Zhao Yi's proof is much simpler than Wiles', but in fact, a series of proof processes, including the previously published results of the "simplified Fermat conjecture", can easily exceed [-] pages in a normal published paper.

It is very difficult for ordinary mathematicians to understand, but it is much easier for some top mathematicians, especially those who have studied topology.

Only two days after the report meeting of Shuimu University, other top mathematicians stood up and praised Zhao Yi's proof process as "exquisite".

That's Thomson from the University of Florida.

Thomson and Zhao Yi met twice, and occasionally exchanged mathematics research, which can be regarded as familiar. He has a certain understanding of topology, listened carefully to Zhao Yi's report, and got a proof paper Finally, he spent a few hours and almost understood the content.

Then he calculated the results of the argument in detail.

This is not in the report.

In the report meeting on Fermat's conjecture, Zhao Yi talked about some simple logical reasoning, or some calculations and transformation steps, all of which were passed by directly. It is meaningless for those who do not understand to understand, and it is too complicated in terms of calculation, but it takes a lot of time to explain the steps, so the conclusion is given directly.

If the conclusion given is wrong, it naturally means that Zhao Yi's proof is problematic, and it is still necessary to check the details.

This process is time consuming.

It took Thomson a day and a half to complete half of the calculations. For some formula transformations and function substitutions, because there were no detailed answer steps, and he needed to infer and think by himself, he simply chose to give up temporarily.

However, after checking the calculations so far, he found that the simple calculations are completely correct, and he can also draw conclusions temporarily.

"The proof is rigorous and refined."

Thomson said in an interview, "The reason why I use 'exquisite' to describe it is because the logic of the proof process is clear, without any redundant steps. Throughout the whole process, the purpose of each part is very clear."

"Although all the calculations have not been completed, I believe it is correct."

"Congratulations Zhao Yi!"

"He is also my friend, and I am very happy to see that he has completed another top math achievement!"

Thomson's comments were a start.

After that, many mathematicians expressed their opinions one after another, saying that they did not see the problem in the proof process, and believed that the proof was completely correct.

But they dare not be 100% sure.

Because some of the unexplained calculation content is still very complicated, they have not checked all of them, and can only confirm the meticulousness of the process.

As far as the mathematical proof is concerned, it can be confirmed that it is correct at this point. The content of the calculation may indeed be wrong, but generally there is no problem. At least it shows that the method used is correct and can solve the problem.

Even if there is a calculation error in the middle, it is only a small mistake. As long as the method is correct and the calculation is done again in the same way, the final answer can be obtained.

After several top mathematicians and scholars expressed their opinions one after another, people in the media and academic circles began to pay attention to the attitudes of several institutions.

no doubt.

Whether it is the Newton Institute, the Clay Institute, or the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study, or other universities and institutions, they will definitely conduct rigorous verification of Zhao Yi's proof.

They have to.

The Newton Research Institute definitely does not want to see Zhao Yi prove Fermat's conjecture, because they affirmed Wiles' proof more than ten years ago, and Zhao Yi proved Wiles' logical error. They and Zhao Yi cannot say that they have a deep hatred. But Wiles' mistakes accounted for their failure, and their academic ability was later questioned to a certain extent.

When they learned that Zhao Yi had made a proof of Fermat's conjecture, the Newton Research Institute must have been even more upset. The opinions of many top mathematicians showed that Zhao Yi's proof was basically correct, and they were completely unwilling to confirm it.

However, there is no way.

There are too many academic institutions in the world, and it is fundamental for academic institutions to maintain neutrality, otherwise their influence will decline.

It's the same with media organizations.

When a media always reports backward or wrong news, it will definitely affect the evaluation of the outside world.

Silence does no good for the Newton Institute, because mathematics is a rigorous discipline.

Yes, that's right.

Wrong is wrong.

Keeping silent can only be regarded by the outside world as they cannot verify Zhao Yi's achievements, but if other academic institutions verify, their level will be questioned.

This is true of the Newton Institute, as it is of other influential institutions.

So after publicly seeing Zhao Yi's report meeting and getting the completed proof paper, influential academic institutions are hurrying to verify it.

Institutions are not the same as individual mathematicians.

They organize internal mathematicians to study the proof process in groups, without letting go of any small details, and it takes longer.

On the third day, a large organization took place.

Princeton Institute for Advanced Study.

Edward Witten brought the news of "confirmation". The Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton immediately organized mathematicians to conduct verification. Edward also participated in the work. He listened to the report and explained it very carefully. After joining, the verification efficiency was greatly improved.

Three days.

Scientists at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton conducted a detailed verification of the overall idea of ​​the proof and the logical derivation and calculation of small details, and published the results immediately after the conclusion.

"After two days of hard work by five mathematicians, we have confirmed that Zhao Yi's proof of Fermat's conjecture does not contain any impreciseness and mistakes."

"We can definitely announce that the Fermat conjecture has been confirmed!"

This is the result.

After the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study issued its approval, within a few hours, the Clay Institute, the Newton Institute, and the NW Academy of Sciences all issued positive conclusions.

This is equivalent to being recognized by the whole world.

The world media made a lot of reports on the news announced by various institutions, and the news was immediately forwarded in China. Everyone's reaction can be said to be cheers, and they are all proud of Zhao Yi's ability to prove Fermat's conjecture.

Simultaneously.

Zhao Yi was immediately defined as "a super genius beyond the times", "super mathematician", "Einstein and Newton in mathematics", etc.

He suddenly had a lot of nicknames.

Lots of coverage!

Lots of compliments!

Even though Zhao Yi is used to being reported and admired, seeing a lot of news, he still feels happy in his heart.

at the same time.

Many people began to care about the review results of the National Academy of Sciences.

Among the world's authoritative academic institutions, it is difficult for the National Academy of Sciences to rank among the top five, but there must be a place in the top ten. Other institutions have recognized Zhao Yi's proof, only the National Academy of Sciences has not made a statement, but everyone knows that they Why don't you speak up.

Because, embarrassing.

If the Newton Academy of Sciences confirmed that Zhao Yi had successfully proved Fermat's conjecture out of depression, the National Academy of Sciences was simply embarrassed.

The National Academy of Sciences has awarded Andrew Wiles the historically significant "Wolfskell's Fermat's Last Theorem Proof Award", which has been preserved for hundreds of years. How can they confirm another proof?

The National Academy of Sciences of D can imagine that after publishing the news of the confirmation of the results, it will definitely be ridiculed by the world's academic circles, saying that they will not be able to win a second "Wolfskell Award".

Of course.

Even if you don't publish news to confirm the results, the world's academic circles should laugh or laugh.

The National Academy of Sciences held a special meeting for this, because they knew they had to say something, and they had to say it as soon as possible, otherwise public opinion would sweep in, and they might say that they 'did not dare to face it' or 'did not take responsibility'.

Fortunately, they have not yet announced the cancellation of Andrew Wiles' "Wolfsker Award."

the next day.

The National Academy of Sciences finally published a message on its official website, announcing, "We have confirmed the proof of Fermat's conjecture by Chinese mathematician Zhao Yi."

"After discussion by the committee, we decided to cancel the proof of Andrew Wiles and give the title of "Wolfskell Award" to Chinese mathematician Zhao Yi."

The news, of course, is dissatisfying.

Everyone was concerned about the prize money of the "Wolfskell Award", to see if the National Academy of Sciences would give out another bonus, but the National Academy of Sciences only announced a title.

Title, what's the use?

Country D's Academy of Sciences also said that they planned to openly invite Zhao Yi to go to country D to do collaborative research and pay him the "Wolfskell Award" in the form of salary.

This is the only way that the National Academy of Sciences can think of.

It may sound unbelievable, but many people can understand the practice of the National Academy of Sciences.

This matter is not a problem at all in the country. It is just a few million bonuses, and a little money is almost enough. In order not to lose face in the world academic circle, a few million is nothing at all, but in D country or Western countries are a big problem.

The funds of the National Academy of Sciences are not used casually. The research grants received every year, and the use of each euro will be recorded in detail, and it is also supervised by other departments, and it is still open to the public.

In order to transfer millions of pounds, there must be a 'formal' source and purpose.

Formal, very important.

If millions of pounds are allocated in a large-scale scientific research fund, it will definitely dissatisfy the personnel involved in scientific research, and the country will allocate an extra sum from taxation, which will make all taxpayers dissatisfied.

and many more.

No matter where the money is allocated, it will involve the interests of other people.

So it has to be formal.

If Zhao Yi is hired to work in the past and paid in the form of 'salary', it will naturally become formal.

Zhao Yi is the world's top mathematician. He personally proved Goldbach's conjecture and Fermat's conjecture, and also developed a shocking three-dimensional tremor waveform.

It is not an exaggeration to hire such a mathematician with a maximum salary. An annual salary of 100 million Euros, 200 million Euros, or even more is acceptable.

Chapter 344 Am I someone who cares about money?

Yanhua University.

Standing in the corridor on the second floor of the staff dormitory, Zhao Yi looked out the window at the bustling campus. When he thought about mathematics research again, he felt a kind of loneliness in his heart, and even had the idea of ​​'no longer studying mathematics', just like mathematics. For him, it was completely meaningless.

"Probably... the richest man in the world feels like this?"

he thought.

How would it feel to be the richest man in the world?For the richest man, money is really just a lot of numbers.

What's the point of chasing more money when no one else has more money than you?

Anyway, I can't use it, spend it all, and no one else has more money than myself.

In the field of mathematical theory research, Zhao Yi had a similar feeling. After completing the results of Fermat's conjecture, he really became the world's recognized 'number one mathematician', and he couldn't even find an opponent to do it.

Although there are many sub-disciplines in mathematics, analytic number theory is considered to be the 'highest' and the most difficult field to produce results. Goldbach's conjecture and Fermat's conjecture, which have attracted the most attention in the field of analytic number theory, have all been succeeded by him After the proof, everyone will think that he is the number one mathematician, and they can't find anyone of the same level.

"This is probably even more lonely than the current richest man, because the wealth of the richest man may also shrink, resulting in no longer being the richest man..."

Zhao Yi thought 'sadly'.

Before that, he never understood why after completing Fermat's conjecture, Wiles has been like a star for more than ten years, giving speeches, visiting colleges and universities around the world, and winning various awards along the way.

Of course.

These are also very normal, and they are all honors that should be obtained after completing great achievements.

However, Wiles did not continue to invest in the field of mathematical research, and he has not produced any results for more than ten years.

Zhao Yi felt that Wiles was 'degenerate'.

Now he understands.
