Volume 1: Student Life Chapter 282 Deadline for submissions?
After Hu Mo left, Chen Zhou simply sorted out the information in front of him.
This is the most precious research manuscript.
Although Chen Zhou didn't care much, compared to the knowledge in his mind, these were just traces of writing.
However, as a manifestation of research results, these things still gave Chen Zhou a sense of accomplishment.
Not long after, Yang Yiyi came back and brought Chen Zhou a bowl of rice with toppings.
Speaking of which, Chen Zhou really likes eating rice with toppings.
Very convenient.
After walking out of the study area and finding a place, Chen Zhou quickly finished his meal of minced meat and eggplant rice.
After picking up the trash and throwing it away, I returned to my seat in the study area.
In just one afternoon, there were more than twenty sheets of draft paper in front of Chen Zhou.
He also brought the problem of revising Cramer's conjecture to a conclusion.
Outside the library, it was already completely dark.
The library was brightly lit.
After replacing a new refill, Chen Zhou wrote on the draft paper:
[…From this we can conclude that when N ≥ 7, the maximum interval between adjacent prime numbers within N is (Pn + 1 ≤ N) max (Pn + 1 - Pn) ≈ logN (logN - loglogN) + 2]
The problem of correcting Cramer's conjecture was solved by Chen Zhou!
At this time, he still had more than a day before he left for the United States.
In just over a day, he can complete the research paper and submit it to this academic conference.
As a supplement to the report meeting on the last day.
After looking at the conclusion in front of him, Chen Zhou did not put down his pen, but habitually tapped the draft paper.
Then he wrote down the formula of Cramer's conjecture next to the conclusion.
【limn→∞sup（Pn＋1－Pn）/（lnPn）2=1】
There is a difference here, that is, the correction problem is actually based on certain approximate values.
But Cramer's conjecture itself is not.
So, how do we cross out this “≈”?
This is the question Chen Zhou needs to think about next.
It might take him a few minutes to figure this out.
It may take him a few hours to figure it out.
More likely, it would take him days, or even months.
The distribution deconstruction method provides more of an idea and a method for studying the prime number problem, but how can this tool be used to solve specific problems?
There is still a transformation process.
However, Chen Zhou had a successful experience once, and he believed that the distributed deconstruction method would definitely shine.
It will also certainly be able to solve the Cramer conjecture.
Chen Zhou thought about it and put down the pen temporarily.
First, finish the paper that corrects the problem and submit it to this academic conference.
Having had several experiences in editing papers, Chen Zhou was obviously much more skilled in editing this paper.
[On the extended study of Cramer's conjecture when N≥7 and the application of distribution deconstruction method]
In the paper, Chen Zhou fully demonstrated his previous style.
His characteristics of rigorous calculation, careful logic and clear thinking are fully reflected in this paper.
By the time he finished his paper, it was already 2 a.m. on the 16th.
But fortunately I made it before my flight this afternoon.
I looked at the time. China time is 12 hours ahead of Boston time.
It's only 2 o'clock in the afternoon in Boston now.
Under normal circumstances, Chen Zhou should be preparing for his 30-minute report meeting.
But now...
Without hesitation, Chen Zhou opened the submission website for this academic conference.
For this academic conference, MIT has opened a separate channel for paper submission at the entrance of its official website.
Provide each speaker with a channel to submit their conference papers.
It is also convenient for all participants to see the relevant papers of the conference in advance and have a grasp of the overall content of this academic conference.
However, because Chen Zhou had been studying Cramer's conjecture, he had not had time to see which experts would speak at this conference.
Maybe there are scholars working in the same research field among them, and we can communicate and learn from each other.
No, for Chen Zhou, communication and exchange can be carried out in any field.
"Huh?"
Chen Zhou let out a light exclamation, looking a little embarrassed.
As MIT's academic conference officially began, the submission channel on the official website was unexpectedly closed!
"Why didn't anyone inform me?"
Chen Zhou couldn't help but wonder. Before the meeting started, MIT didn't remind him about the time when the submission channel would be closed?
After thinking about it, Chen Zhou opened his email and prepared to ask MIT officials.
But what was even more embarrassing was that he found a letter in his mailbox.
It was sent from MIT.
The content is to remind him of the submission deadline.
“How embarrassing…”
Chen Zhou thought about it in his mind, but still quickly edited an email.
Because he had already communicated with MIT in advance, he felt there should be room for maneuver.
After sending the email, Chen Zhou looked at Zhao Qiqi and the other two who had already gone to bed.
Then he quietly walked out of the dormitory and ran to the bathroom to make a phone call.
The call was quickly connected, and Dean Sun's unexpected voice came from the other end: "Chen Zhou? Why haven't you slept yet?"
Chen Zhou replied: "I just finished writing the paper..."
Dean Sun asked in surprise, "Is it solved?"
Chen Zhou hummed, thinking about how to organize his words and explain this embarrassing matter to Dean Sun in a tactful way.
Unexpectedly, Dean Sun seemed to know what he was thinking. Chen Zhou heard Dean Sun say, "You called me so late. Is it because your paper cannot be submitted as a report to this academic conference?"
"Ahem..." Chen Zhou coughed twice awkwardly , "Dean, how did you know?"
Dean Sun couldn't help but laugh when he heard Chen Zhou's words. He was indeed still young and inexperienced.
But he didn't intend to keep it a secret, and said directly: "Put the preprint online first, and then send the formally submitted paper to an MIT conference email address. I will send it to you later."
Chen Zhou quickly responded gratefully: "Okay, thank you, Dean."
Dean Sun smiled and replied, "You're welcome. I'll be waiting for you to come over!"
Chen Zhou: "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Zhou breathed a sigh of relief.
If the research results cannot be displayed, it would be really embarrassing for him to waste time on research.
After returning to the dormitory, Chen Zhou began searching for websites that posted preprints of papers.
Although President Sun did not explain clearly what he meant, Chen Zhou understood it.
Uploading preprints to professional websites is also a precaution.
In other words, be prepared for both situations.
On the other hand, it can also let the world know about our research results in advance.
The earliest and most popular preprint website is e-Print arXiv, where mathematicians and physicists often post their articles.
Chen Zhou registered an account and uploaded a preprint of his paper according to the website's requirements.
Compared with Chen Zhou's complete paper, the preprint lacks a lot of key content.
Preprint publication is not considered academic publication in the true sense. Papers published after the preprint can still be submitted to journals.
This is also to prevent others from plagiarizing and publishing in journals first.
If the paper is modified later, you can continue to upload it.
However, the old version will continue to exist .
After Chen Zhou finished his work, he saw that the email from President Sun had not arrived yet, so he browsed the e-Print arXiv website.
Chen Zhou selected several fields related to number theory and looked at the current number theory research results in the world.
Because the e-Print arXiv website is not peer-reviewed, after submission, it will be published online directly within one or two days.
Therefore, the quality of papers varies.
Chen Zhou could only rely on himself to select relatively reliable papers.
Not long after, Chen Zhou received a message from President Sun via email.
