The imu International Mathematical Union is very cautious in judging whether mathematical conjectures of great significance and far-reaching influence have been proven.

When Professor Wiles proved Fermat's Last Theorem 30 years ago, imu, together with the Annals of Mathematics, sent six groups of experts to strictly review Professor Wiles' proof process. At that time, communications were not that developed and transportation was not convenient enough.

, so it took more than half a year to complete the review. Wiles' paper proving Fermat's conjecture is also called "the most thoroughly verified mathematical manuscript in history."

When Qin Ke proved Goldbach's conjecture, there were also eight Fields Medal winners who collectively reviewed it. Later, Qin Ke also held a global live academic report conference, where he conducted a public proof and accepted all mathematics in the world.

Questions from home.

Even after so many steps, it was not until the end of July, more than a week after the publication of "Annals of Mathematics" that imu officially updated the information on "Goldbach's Conjecture" on its official website that it was changed to: "Goldbach-Qin Theorem,

Certifier: Dr. Qin Ke, Xia Guoqingmu University."

So now regarding the Riemann Hypothesis, the world's top analytic number theory conjecture, imu is even more cautious and has gathered almost all the authoritative masters in number theory that can be found in the international mathematics community to jointly review Qin Ke's proof process.

The entire review process took nearly a month. I heard that during this month, these thirty number theory masters put aside all their work and chores and concentrated on doing only one thing, which was to review several papers of Qin Ke related to the Riemann Hypothesis.

.

The content they reviewed not only included the five sets of expressions of the Riemann Hypothesis and its derivation process, but also the "Argument on the Inapplicability of the Hardy-Ramanujan System to the Riemann Hypothesis" originally published by Chinke, "Jacques Solomon

The three papers "Proof that the Hadamard System Cannot Break the Riemann Hypothesis" and "Exploration on the Direction of Using Core Expressions to Break the Riemann Hypothesis" were also turned out and re-examined.

This is also because what Qin Ke announced not only proved the Riemann Hypothesis, but also revealed a huge mathematical system hidden behind the Riemann Hypothesis. Its influence is far greater than Goldbach's Hypothesis and Fermat's Last Theorem.

In order to ensure that this major mathematical result that may affect the future of number theory is real and error-free, imu has taken great pains.

In the past month, the entire mathematics community and even the academic media have been paying attention to this matter. It is also the most discussed matter in famous universities around the world. I don’t know how many media outlets have sold sales because they reported some specious and specious news.

Big increase.

In order to attract attention, many mathematics professors have provided countless interpretations of Qin Ke's proof process.

Some people even jumped out and accused Qin Ke’s proof process of being wrong and illogical. However, these people are basically civil science students who have not graduated from high school. In response to the clamor of these people, everyone just said "haha".

Then ignored it.

So when imu's website announced that the luxury jury had completed the first step of "review" and was about to enter the second step of "defense", and that the "defense" would be conducted in a global webcast, the news came almost like lightning.

It spread quickly throughout the international mathematical community.

Countless mathematicians are excited. No one wants to miss such an important historical moment. No matter whether Qin Ke can successfully pass the "defense", just to see the spectacle of thirty world-famous number theory masters gathered together.

The scene is worth watching! Many people opened the web page of the live broadcast room three or four hours in advance and waited.

imu's website has expanded the server capacity in advance, but there are too many viewers. There are still two and a half hours before the live broadcast starts, but the network in the live broadcast room is already overcrowded.

imu had no choice but to activate emergency preparedness, publish a new statement on the website, and authorize several of the largest live broadcast platforms in the world, including YouTube, Netflix, etc., to conduct live simultaneous broadcasts. Considering that there are too many IPs from Xia Guo, imu

He also temporarily authorized the live broadcast platforms of Xia Guo, such as Bilibili and Douyin, which had been waiting impatiently for a long time. The latter were naturally ecstatic and quickly made announcements on their respective website homepages, scarfs, etc.

After the audience diversion on several major live broadcast platforms, imu's live broadcast room has barely recovered.

The staff of imu also secretly rejoiced. Sure enough, they were still able to stream. On some live video websites, the barrage was so dense before it even started that it almost blocked the entire screen.

The live broadcast room at Qingmu University was also very busy. The network engineer who finally finished his work wiped his sweat and went to the nearby workroom to wait for orders.

All lines are double-wired and have been tested several times to ensure that they are foolproof. The most important thing is that Principal Huang, Vice Principal Gu and other school leaders, as well as the leaders of the School of Computer Science, are all watching, and they personally

I felt relieved after trying it, which made several network engineers' backs soaked with sweat.

Fortunately, thanks to the fact that Qingmu University is the core transfer station of the National Network Center, the network conditions in all aspects are very good. And thankfully, the live broadcast equipment and network equipment in the small conference room used as the live broadcast room are all normal, and the lines are intact.

Delay.

After the engineers went to the workroom to monitor the status of the equipment and lines at any time, Wei Yuanfu, the chairman of the mathematics department, and the administrative director, personally checked the Chinese and English banners hanging on the whiteboard behind the podium again, and whether there were any errors or omissions on the background board.

The big red banner read "20xx Riemann Hypothesis Proof Final Review and Defense Live Broadcast - Qingmu University Venue".

The background board is the personal profile of Qingmu University and Qin Ke, both in Chinese and English.

The background board on the left is an introduction to the school, which is only about 100 words long. The words "Qingmu University focuses on cultivating mathematical talents, and its mathematical talents have reached the world's first-class level" made the school leaders present with great joy.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! With the emergence of Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun, the mathematics world has been shaken. Which school in China dares to brag that it is better than the mathematics department of Qingmu University?

Even compared with the mathematics departments of first-class universities in the world, with Mr. Qiu and four mathematics masters, Qin Ke, Ning Qingjun, and Tian Jianlan, Qingmu University is by no means inferior.

Of course, compared with top universities such as Princeton, Ecole Normale Supérieure de Paris, MIT, Harvard, Cambridge, and Oxford, there is still a relatively large gap in the number of mathematics masters in the Department of Mathematics at Tsingmok University, but at least the momentum has picked up.

With Mr. Qiu's Qiuzhen Academy and Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun here, the rise of the Department of Mathematics has been unstoppable. It is only a matter of time before the Department of Mathematics is upgraded to the School of Mathematics.

The background panel on the right is Qin Ke’s personal profile.

"Qin Ke, male, 20 years old, Ph.D. in the Department of Mathematics of Qingmu University, full researcher level, Distinguished Professor of Qiuzhen Academy, Honorary Professor and Distinguished Professor of Beiyan University, Head of Qingning Mathematics Research Laboratory, Young Top Talent. In recent years.

In mathematics, he has successively won the Xia Guochen Mathematics Award, the Mathematics Breakthrough Award, the Cole Number Theory Award, the Crafford Award, the Humboldt Research Award, the Ramanujan Award, the Steele Award and other domestic and international mathematics awards. Academic achievements in mathematics

The main results are the proofs of more than a dozen world-class mathematical conjectures."

"Including: the proof of the twin prime conjecture, the proof of Zhou's conjecture, the proof of Jebov's conjecture, the proof of Brocard's conjecture, the proof that there are infinitely many Mersenne primes, the proof that the Fibonacci sequence has infinite prime numbers,

Gilbraith conjecture, proof of Polignac conjecture, proof of Hailstone conjecture, proof of Goldbach conjecture, and the proof of Riemann Hypothesis that is about to be defended, etc."

Everything is ready, Qingmu University has connected to the live broadcast room in advance.

On the live broadcast website, you can see the dual screens of the small conference room of Qingmu University and the academic conference room of the imu headquarters in Berlin at the same time.

Among them, in the academic live broadcast room forwarded by Xia Guo Station B, netizens who had entered in advance with nothing to do had already begun to read Qin Ke's introduction.

[666, he is indeed my husband. These medals and academic achievements are among the best in any university! 】

[Hiss—I gasped subconsciously, a strong scholar is so terrifying!]

[I quickly put away the silver medal from the National Mathematical Olympiad that was hanging in my room. I can’t hang it up again. It’s too embarrassing. It turns out that Qin Shen’s performance in the Mathematical Olympiad competition in high school was ignored in this introduction... Oh, that’s right, and the proof

The world guesses that even if it is the '1' point champion imo, it is completely incomparable.】

[Actually, I think "The Wonderful Mathematical Journey of Kitten Lemon and Puppy Keke" co-authored by Qin Shen and Ning can also be included as an academic achievement. I heard that the total sales of two sets of six books have exceeded 8

There are 100 million copies. This is the data from three months ago, and it is estimated that it is even more now. These teaching aids have helped so many mathematicians. They are considered to be of great achievements, and their significance is not necessarily less than proving the world’s conjectures.]

[I just discovered today that Qin Shen is actually a distinguished professor at both Qingmu and Yan University, and he is a full professor... Qin Shen didn't even bother to share the good news with us on his neck. He is a twenty-year-old full professor! Isn't that considered a bust?

Record?]

[I don’t know if it breaks the record or not. I only care about when Qin Shen will be evaluated as an academician. With his academic achievements, it should be more than enough to be evaluated as a mathematical academician, right? Apart from being too young, he has almost no shortcomings, and his character is also

Awesome.]

[Academicians are only elected once every two years on average. They were just elected last year, and it won’t be until next year at the earliest. Besides, although Qin Shen is famous, he is too young. I went to check, the youngest in our country

The academician's name is Ning Zongxun, an academician of physics. He was elected as an academician when he was 36 years old... Hey, this academician's surname is also Ning, just like classmate Ning. But I can't find much information about him on the Internet.

.]

[Although Qin Shen is young, I think if he could win this year’s Fields Medal, why would he be given an academician? 】

[It’s hard to say, the number of academician places is limited each year, and there are many considerations... Wait, is Qin Shen still a graduate student? Can graduate students be evaluated as academicians?]

[Qin Shen is still a graduate student in physics, but he is already a full professor in mathematics. He is already qualified to be evaluated as an academician. He only needs to be recommended by three academicians. 】

[Qin Shen is still a young scholar and has not even been selected as a Young Yangtze Scholar. He is afraid that he will be recognized as a Young Yangtze Scholar before being evaluated as an academician.]

[I realize that none of you have noticed the important point. The important point is that the introduction only says 'mathematics'. Qin Shen writes the operating system, develops seeds, etc., and they are not listed. After thinking about it...only 'f*ck' is left.

Well, fortunately Qin Shen is not as exaggerated in physics as in mathematics.】

[Hey, the experts from imu have appeared one after another, and I recognized Professor Tao! I don’t recognize any of the rest.]

[There is a list of review experts, and there are also name tags on the seats, but they are all in English.]

[Let me translate it for you. The review experts include Professor Tao Zhexuan, Professor Gerd Faltings, Professor Elon Lindenstrauss, Professor Andrew Wiles, and Pierre Dely

Professor Nie, Professor Gilberto Lopez, Professor Charles Feffman, Professor Enrico Bombieri, Professor Wendelin Werner, Professor William Timothy Gowers...]

[I just checked online. Among these review experts, there are a total of 22 Fields Medal winners, 17 Abel Prize winners, 16 Wolf Prize winners, in addition to 5 Craford Medal winners, Mathematics

There are 2 Breakthrough Awards... and almost everyone is a national academician. This jury is really luxurious!]

[The total number of people is inconsistent with the number of winners!]

[Some people will win several awards at the same time... For example, Professor Deligne won the Fields Medal, the Abel Prize, the Wolf Prize, and the Crafford Prize at the same time. It's terrible.]

[Oh my god, the more I look at this lineup, the more I feel weak in the knees. I panic just thinking about thirty professors asking me questions, let alone thirty of the world’s top mathematics masters.]

[God Qin is here! Look, God Qin is here! God Qin looks calm and smiling, and there is no sign of nervousness. 】

【Could it be an act?】

[Being able to pretend to be so calm is also a skill. Can you pretend to be so calm? 】

Just as the barrage in the live broadcast room said, Qin Ke, dressed in formal attire, came to the small conference room and stood in front of the podium.

As for the small conference room, the camera could not see the seats. It had already been filled with school leaders, the main leaders of the mathematics department, and all the professors of the mathematics department. Mr. Qiu and Academician Tian Jianlan were also present, and naturally Ning Qingyun also came.

, but she came in through the back door. She was sitting in the last row, gently raised her white fist, and made a cheering gesture to Qin Ke.

Qin Ke smiled at her and nodded to the leaders before raising his head and looking directly at the big screen set up in the conference room.

On the big screen, in the academic conference room of imu, most of the thirty jury experts have arrived. Qin Ke just tried the erasable pen, and then after only waiting for a while, all the experts arrived and sat in darkness.

In two rows.

The oldest of these mathematical masters is over 75 years old, their beards and hair are all white, and their foreheads are covered with wrinkles and age spots, but their eyes are still bright under the reading glasses.
