Well, Lot Dugan certainly knew that even if Qiao Yu applied to other journals, he would most likely find Pierre Delini as one of the reviewers, but how could he be as comfortable as reviewing for his own journal?

Soon the person on the other side answered the phone: "You called back so quickly, it seems like it was unsuccessful?"

"Haha, Pierre, you guessed wrong! You should open your email now and see that I have sent you a review invitation. Congratulations. If you finally decide that Qiao Yu is right...

Yes, if he is correct, you will become one of the reviewers of the greatest paper of the 21st century so far. Although there is no reward!"

"This sounds like a pretty good achievement. But you have to be mentally prepared. As I said before, you need to read the prerequisite paper before reviewing this paper.

So it can’t be that fast. I hope you didn’t make some unrealistic promises to Qiao Yu. By the way, how many reviewers do you plan to find for this paper? "

After thinking for a moment, Lot Dugan said: "Eight, do you think it's enough?"

"Ten to twelve! I think it is necessary to do double verification in many proof links!"

"Then twelve! Damn it! It seems I still need to find a lot of people! What do you recommend?"

This is definitely a happy worry.

If it is an ordinary paper, of course it does not need so many reviewers, but after all, this is a paper that proves the Riemann Hypothesis. It has far-reaching impact, and top experts in many fields must independently confirm its correctness before it can convince the public.

"Enoch Ivich, Henryk Iwanik, Terrence Tao, Elliot Lieberman, Nick Katz, Andrew Wiles, Mikhail Gromov

, James Maynard, Peter Schulz..."

When Lot Dugan's brain was not particularly clear, Pierre Delini announced more than ten names in one go.

They are all top mathematicians in related research, and most of them have done research related to the Riemann Hypothesis. Covering number theory, complex analysis and zero-point distribution, geometry and spectral theory, random matrix topology, etc....

Most of them have already won all the mathematics awards they can win. Of course, including the Fields Medal.

"Okay, I've written it all down. I'll start sending emails right away! Well, there are some people I don't know very well. Can you make a call for me? Mainly because this time is not suitable."

"Don't be so anxious, Lot! I believe they will all be willing to be reviewers. Just send out the invitation first."

"Okay, you're right! Hey, but how can you not be anxious? Do you know what Qiao Yu said when I called him just now? His proof was perfect!

If he is right, I would like to ask him to be a tenured professor at Princeton and recommend that the school and the board of trustees grant him the title of chair professor. What do you think?"

"The premise is that he is willing to come to Princeton. If it is as he said and the proof process is flawless, universities around the world will be willing to provide him with these honors.

A Fields Medal winner who is less than 20 years old, do you think he will lack financial support in the future? This is a contemporary Gaussian-level prodigy! Even Peter Schulz pales in front of him."

Lot Dugan was silent.

Although Princeton's mathematics department is world-renowned, it is also known for its rigorous academic style.

But it does not seem that attractive to Qiao Yu.

Almost all research endowments in the world are based on talent. As Pierre Delini said, geniuses from all walks of life will never lack these honors.

"Hey... Okay, let me finish reviewing the thesis first. I think I should invite him to come to the school to have a look. Maybe he will like Princeton."

"Of course, I support you! But I think I have to read the paper now. Goodbye."

"goodbye!"

After hanging up the phone, Lot Dugan began to send emails through the backend to the big guys who were qualified to review the paper. He didn't even read it himself first.

It sounds like this is actually very lax and inconsistent with the process. But this paper was written by Qiao Yu after all.

Moreover, Pierre Delini must have seen it first. Due to his trust in this master, Lot Dugan felt that he did not need to do anything more. After all, analytic number theory is not his strong point.

In order to ensure that every reviewer can see the review invitation at the first time, Lot Dugan even sent an email to everyone through their private mailbox...

Achieving this kind of efficiency is already the limit. But there is no way, as Pierre Delini said, reviewers will be very cautious when reviewing this kind of paper.

It's likely to drag on for a long time.

If there is a dispute, it is possible to review it for one or two years. Fortunately, Qiao Yu's new method simplifies this issue a lot.

After all, the overall logical framework built by Qiao Yu in the early stage has been accepted by the mainstream mathematics community. But it would be good to save more time.

Lot Dugan also hopes to complete the review before mid-July. The members of the Fields Review Committee of the International Union of Mathematicians must be given enough time to decide on this year's Fields Medal candidates.

Yes, if the twelve reviewers can give an agreeable reply before mid-July, then Qiao Yu will definitely win the Fields Medal this year and become the youngest Fields Medal winner in the world.

Lot Dugan is looking forward to this very much.

…

At the same time, it was almost six o'clock at the Institute of Mathematics and Systems Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Lu Yanxiang was planning to get off work, go to the cafeteria to have a meal and then go home.

In the past two days, he has actually been studying Qiao Yu's article published in JAMS. It must be said that the article is very insightful.

Of course, being published in the four top journals means that it has been reviewed by top mathematicians, which is naturally very powerful.

This also made Lu Yanxiang feel complicated. On the one hand, if Qiao Yu had applied for this project at that time, which was the geometric mapping of the modal space of the Riemann Hypothesis, he would have definitely given it.

On the other hand, if Qiao Yu had just applied for the project and had his paper published and completed in less than a month, it would indeed seem too simple...

Anyway, this is very confusing.

Thinking about these messy things, he walked out of the office. Suddenly his cell phone rang. Lu Yanxiang took it out of his pocket and looked at it. It was a call from Academician Xu Zhe upstairs.

"Hey, Professor Xu, what's going on?"

"Brother Yanxiang, have you received the news? It has spread all over the Internet. Qiao Yu claims to have solved the Riemann Hypothesis. The paper has been posted on arXiv to take advantage of the situation. The mathematics community is boiling."

Hearing this sentence, Lu Yanxiang, who has always been very cultivated, suddenly felt that there were ten thousand grass and mud horses galloping past in his mind, and the sentence "MMP" was stuck in his throat, not knowing whether to say it or not...

Okay, I definitely can't be so rude.

It took about ten seconds to calm down before Lu Yanxiang said: "It's not a random paper, right?"

"Haha, Brother Yanxiang is getting more and more humorous. I just downloaded it and read it through, and I think it is very insightful. If you are not busy now, I suggest you also read it.

Okay, I'm just afraid that you don't know, so I want to tell you that there is such a thing. I'll hang up now, and I plan to study Qiao Yu's two papers together tonight."

Lu Yanxiang said: "Thank you, Professor Xu."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Yanxiang turned around and walked back to the office. This was good, he could save another meal, and he was completely in no mood to eat...
Chapter completed!
