Chapter 186 Do you want to reflect on it?(2/2)
"Princeton University and the Annals of Mathematics would like to announce that Dr. Qiao Yu's paper on the Riemann Hypothesis has passed preliminary screening and is currently undergoing rigorous peer review.
This paper aims to solve the Riemann Hypothesis, which is considered to be a core problem in number theory and even the entire mathematical community. Due to the historical importance of the problem and the potential impact of the paper, the review process will strictly follow the most rigorous academic standards.
We are honored to announce that the review team composed of the following 12 mathematicians from the world's top academic institutions is conducting an in-depth review and verification of this paper. These reviewers are all in analytic number theory, complex analysis, algebraic geometry, spectrum
He has made outstanding achievements in related fields such as theory and model form..."
Immediately following are the names of twelve people, and their brief introductions.
Among them, there are eight Fields Medal winners, 11 Wolf Prize winners, seven Abel Prize winners, five Clay Mathematics Prize winners, as well as all Steele Prize winners, and ICM special speakers...
This list also means that although the review team only has twelve people, there must be more than these twelve reviewers.
After all, behind each of these names represents a top mathematics research team. Rather than saying that these listed names are reviewers, it is better to say that most of them are symbolic leaders.
Behind these top mathematicians are many PhDs, postdocs, and collaborators. When reviewing this manuscript, some people from the team will definitely be selected to work together.
In other words, the reviewer team consists of twelve scientists, but the actual reviewers may be more than fifty people, or even more.
Don't ask Liu Zhaoyuan how he knew it. After all, if he really encountered an important paper for him to review, he would definitely arrange it in this way.
Liu Zhaoyuan probably also understood the reason why Princeton Mathematics Annals did this. The official announcement of the reviewer list means that the entire relevant academic network may become reviewers.
After all, Qiao Yu's paper has been posted to arXiv. This means that every colleague who studies the Riemann Hypothesis can become an invisible reviewer.
If these uninvited mathematicians find any problems in the paper, they will definitely send their ideas to reviewers they know by email.
There has never been a shortage of skeptics in academia. Any paper that claims to solve the world's problems will attract these people, and then use the most demanding eyes to look for possible logical loopholes in it.
Of course there is a disclaimer at the end:
"Princeton University and the Annals of Mathematics would like to reiterate that the review and verification process of the paper has not yet been completed, and the participation of the review team does not constitute an endorsement or endorsement of the correctness of the paper.
Any further information updates will be officially released via the Princeton University website and the Annals of Mathematics website."
Well, after reading this paragraph, Liu Zhaoyuan felt that Princeton might have done this for the purpose of promoting the "Annals of Mathematics".
It seems that the four major mathematics journals can no longer satisfy the editorial board of "Annals of Mathematics". Maybe they hope that the four major mathematics journals will be changed into one super four...
But in any case, the release of this statement at this time is enough to show that at least a dozen top experts do not believe that there are obvious loopholes in Qiao Yu's paper after roughly reading it.
In other words, is it possible that the thirty-eight-page paper really proves the Riemann Hypothesis?
Solving this level of mathematical problems at the age of seventeen is the reincarnation of Gauss, right?
It is said that Gauss discovered the common sum of the first N terms of any arithmetic sequence at the age of ten, proposed the prototype of the prime number theorem at the age of sixteen, proved the law of quadratic reciprocity at the age of eighteen, and solved the problem of graphing polygons in positive periods at the age of nineteen...
Qiao Yu is not far behind. At the age of 16, he found out the errors in the geometric Langlands conjecture and proved it. He proposed the generalized modal axiom system and reduced the initial distance between pairs of prime numbers to 6. He came up with it at the age of 17.
A set of efficient computing systems, by the way, proved the Riemann Hypothesis...
Once again, it has been shown to the world that mathematics is a subject that relies on talent and does not make any sense at all.
Diligence and hard work may help you learn most knowledge in the world, except mathematics...
Otherwise, there is no way to explain why someone in his teens could solve a problem that a group of legendary mathematicians could not conquer in their lifetime.
Liu Zhaoyuan was filled with emotions in his mind when the phone suddenly rang.
I picked it up casually and saw that it was a call from Yu Yanjiang.
Just now he wanted to call this big boss, but he couldn't help it.
Well, he decided to follow the boss's words and criticize Qiao Yu for not doing business!
So what if claiming to have solved the Riemann Hypothesis caused a collective earthquake in the mathematical community? Now they are Party A!
As soon as the phone was connected, the big boss on the other side started to investigate.
"Liu Zhaoyuan, let me ask you, can your computing center work?!"
One sentence made Liu Zhaoyuan stunned for a long time.
"No, Chief Engineer Yu? I don't quite understand what you mean by this. What do you mean by calculating whether something works or not?"
"Don't you understand this? Qiao Yu claimed to have proved the Riemann Hypothesis. Do you understand?"
"Yes, I just knew that I was still upright before..."
"Don't say so much. I just called Tian Yanzhen. I asked him whether Qiao Yu took our project to heart. What do you think he said?"
"Huh? What else can he say?"
"He said that your calculations were incompetent and the verification was too slow, which delayed the progress of the project. Qiao Yu had nothing to do and proved his previous work. It's not that people don't trust our project, it's that your efficiency is too low.
!
I think what Tian Yanzhen said makes some sense. After all, people are almost done with computing software now. Just waiting for you to quickly test and give feedback, it turns out that your efficiency is so low that people have no time to think about this kind of world-wide problem? Liu Zhaoyuan, you guys
Does the Institute of Computing Technology need to do some soul-searching?"
Liu Zhaoyuan: "???"
Chapter completed!
