Volume 1: Student Life Chapter 283: Are You In Time?
Chen Zhou thought about it and did not send the paper to this email address immediately. Instead, he spent some time proofreading the paper again.
This was a submission to an international academic conference, so Chen Zhou showed the necessary caution and prudence in its presentation.
Although he had strong confidence in his calculations, his arguments, and the logic of the entire paper.
But if there is any mistake, it will definitely be magnified infinitely at the conference.
Even though the mathematics giants present would give him kind smiles, Chen Zhou himself would feel a lot more pressure.
So take advantage of now to eliminate all the pressure in advance.
Around 3 a.m., Yanjing time, China.
Chen Zhou sent the research paper to MIT's official email address.
It was 3pm in Boston, USA.
An academic conference hosted by MIT is in progress.
The 30-minute report time originally belonged to Chen Zhou, but the person who appeared on the stage was an American mathematician.
When seeing this temporary adjustment, many uninformed mathematicians were stunned.
Who is this person?
Is this person Chen Zhou?
Is Chen Zhou from Yenching University a foreigner ?
A series of question marks emerged in their minds.
Of course, compared to these uninformed people, there are people like Faltings, Wiles, and Deligne.
Since we had known about the change in meeting procedures in advance, we were not too surprised.
However, they still felt a little regretful and confused about the fact that Chen Zhou did not come and could not communicate with the prover of the hail conjecture at the first time.
What is puzzling is that the organizer of the meeting, MIT, did not disclose the specific reason for changing the time of Chen Zhou's report.
Therefore, although they know that the process has changed, they don't know why it has changed.
Even Terence Tao, who was invited by MIT and wrote an invitation letter to Chen Zhou, did not know about it.
The reason for this is, on the one hand, the communication and coordination on the part of Yanda, which hopes not to be disclosed too early.
On the other hand, MIT is concerned about the integrity of the academic conference.
No matter what Chen Zhou's unilateral research results are, at least after he came, there was the hail conjecture as a guarantee for the report meeting.
Also, big guys like Faltings were very tacit with each other and didn't deliberately ask about anything.
It is also common for academic conferences to adjust the presentation time of presenters.
After all, who can guarantee that they don’t have any urgent matters?
However, there were still many speculations among the participants about the reason why Chen Zhou did not come.
While the American mathematician's lecture was in progress, MIT's official email address received an email from Chen Zhou.
"Hey, Dr. James, come and see!"
Bergley is a student in the Department of Mathematics at MIT and a volunteer for this academic conference.
Together with several other volunteers, under the leadership of Dr. James, he was responsible for collecting and organizing the paper submissions from the presenters.
Bergley just discovered that after the deadline for submissions, another email actually came into the official website's mailbox.
This made him feel very surprised.
In theory, after the deadline, the mailbox will be closed and no more papers can be submitted.
Therefore, he, who was originally chewing gum leisurely, quickly spoke out to report.
Dr. James, who heard the shout, walked over to Bergley.
"So fast?" Dr. James murmured.
He knew the situation, and in an instant he realized that this should be Chen Zhou's latest submission.
But isn’t this too fast?
Did he really solve the Cramer conjecture?
"Doctor, what did you say?" Bergley asked subconsciously, not hearing James's whisper just now.
"Oh, nothing." James did not explain, but pretended to confirm with Bergley casually , "Who is the contributor?"
Bergley had not looked closely at the paper just now. After a careful look, he said in surprise, "Doctor, it's him! The guy who solved the hail conjecture! Why did he submit it now?"
"Because the time of his lecture has been adjusted, the time for his submission has been extended." James said ambiguously .
"Oh, so that's how it is. This Chinese guy named Chen Zhou was actually still researching it before the meeting." Bergley nodded in understanding.
This situation generally does not happen.
After all, conference organizers must ensure that the meeting goes smoothly.
In addition, participants also need some time to understand the research content of the speakers that interest them.
James did not comment and said directly: "Okay, Bergley, pass the email file to me. I need to verify the paper submitted by this last reporter."
"Okay, Doc!" Bergley responded and quickly forwarded the email to James.
James returned to his seat, looked around, and then opened the document in the mailbox.
"On the extended study of Cramer's conjecture when N≥7 and the application of the distribution deconstruction method?"
"I know about extended research, but what is this distributional deconstruction method?"
James frowned, then exclaimed in surprise: "Could it be..."
This paper is much longer than the proof of the hailstone conjecture .
Because more than half of the content is about distributed deconstruction.
This part of the content does not exist independently. Chen Zhou combines its introduction with the content of "Extended Research on Cramer's Conjecture When N≥7" to narrate it.
James is a PhD graduate from MIT's Department of Mathematics and currently teaches in the Department of Mathematics.
Bergley was one of his students.
He prefers to be called Doctor rather than Professor.
His main research direction is analytic number theory.
So, for this paper in front of me, as I read it more and more deeply.
He was completely addicted.
Compared with the large sieve method and the circle method, this is the third true method of studying number theory.
At least judging from the paper itself, this should be the case.
If this paper is recognized by the mathematical community, it will change the research in the field of number theory!
Just as James was immersed in the research of his thesis, the first day of the academic conference ended successfully.
The scholars who were invited to give reports also completed their reports successfully.
Although some scholars had a difficult time in the QA stage, fortunately the result was safe.
Shortly after the first day's conference dinner ended, Chen Zhou, who was in China and was about to leave for Boston today, just woke up.
Looking at Chen Zhou sleeping soundly in the morning, Zhao Qiqi and the other three thought that Chen Zhou would postpone his release again.
Moreover, I didn’t see anything Chen Zhou packed.
So, when Chen Zhou woke up, he heard Zhao Qiqi ask, "Brother Chen, are you not going to the United States today?"
Chen Zhou shook his head and said in surprise: "No, the flight is at around 2pm, so you're going there today?"
"Uh..." Zhao Qiqi looked at her watch and couldn't help but said, "But it's almost 12 o'clock now. Can you make it in time?"
