Hoshi Yuichiro and Yamashita were stunned. Everyone in the office was dumbfounded.
Not just that, but shortly after the video was uploaded to his personal blog, the entire Japanese academic community exploded.
As expected by everyone, Shinichi Mochizuki stood up and responded to the removal of the paper from his personal blog and the homepage of the mathematics department.
However, the content of the response was not what people wanted to hear at all.
In a sense, the Japanese academic community was a relatively closed existence compared to the academic community in the world.
This kind of isolation was not reflected in the academic exchange itself, but the entire Japanese academic community was permeated with a xenophobic atmosphere dominated by extreme self-confidence.
Simply put, they were not targeting anyone. They just subconsciously felt that all the foreign scholars here were garbage and that no country was special.
This kind of xenophobic culture rooted in the subconscious made it difficult for foreign scholars to integrate into the world. Japanese scholars were also rarely willing to actively integrate into the world. Of the 22 Nobel Prize laureates in physics, chemistry, and chemistry, 20 of them only worked hard on the island, and their English was "average" without exception.
In such an atmosphere, if a domestic scholar was questioned by a foreign scholar, unless there was irrefutable evidence in front of them, the Japanese academic community would think that the world was wrong.
And if they really bowed and apologized, it must be because they really couldn't stand it anymore.
It was precisely because of this that compared to "academic fraud" or "scandal" itself, the Japanese academic community felt more ashamed of "being found out".
As for why this was said, one could see the top ten withdrawn manuscripts from "Retraction Watch".
Among the top ten big shots, four of them were Japanese scholars.
Especially Yoshitaka Fujii, who was ranked number one. This god was simply a mudslide in the academic community. From the time he graduated in 1991 to the time he was exposed in 2012, he had published a total of 212 theses, 183 of which were proven to be completely fake.
This number was equivalent to him monopolizing 7% of the total number of withdrawn manuscripts from 1980 to 2011, which caused an uproar at the time.
Even the investigation committee of the Ministry of Culture and Science couldn't stand it anymore. In the summary report, they wrote, "This is equivalent to a person sitting at a desk and writing a science fiction novel."
Of course, Mochizuki's thesis couldn't be said to be fake.
The academic community was tolerant of honest mistakes. Not to mention that other than publishing the thesis on Kyoto University's website and personal blog, this 500-page thesis had never been published in any journals. There was no issue of retracting the thesis.
However, the mathematics department of Provincial Capital University suffered.
Ever since this scholar claimed that he had proved the ABC conjecture, the Department of Mathematics of Kyoto University had posted his paper on their official website. They unilaterally claimed that the conjecture had been solved and no one could question it.
Now that Shinichi Mochizuki suddenly betrayed him, the one who felt the most pain was not him, but those who supported him …
This time, it wasn't just Hoshi Yuichiro and Yamashita Takeshi who were stunned. All the students and assistants in his office couldn't accept this fact for a moment.
Among all the people who knew him, only his former mentor, Faltings, who was far away in Germany, was not too surprised by this.
Amsterdam.
Professor Faltings, who was attending the meeting of the European Mathematical Society, was chatting with Professor Shigefumi Mori about the recent events in the mathematics world. The topic of the two unconsciously went from the ABC conjecture and the research group called LSPM to the recent announcement that had caused a lot of controversy.
Speaking of his former student, Professor Faltings smiled faintly and spoke in an unsurprised tone.
"His opponent is Lu Zhou. It is obvious that he lost. Mochizuki is an honest scholar. Honest people will only make honest mistakes. Since he admitted his mistakes, he must have completely understood where he went wrong. This is not necessarily a bad thing for him and his distant Abelian geometry. "
Immersed in your own world for too long, it was inevitable that you would be disconnected from the outside world. If everything went well, it was fine, but if there was a small problem and no one reminded you, it was easy to lead to a bigger mistake and be trapped in it.
This was one of the reasons why people would put communication and discussion first when solving a major mathematical proposition …
Although Professor Faltings's point of view was rarely pertinent, Professor Sen Chongwen still frowned slightly and corrected him in a slightly unhappy tone, "I don't like to use the word 'lost'.
"I don't like to use the word 'lost'. In my opinion, there is no such thing as winning or losing in academia, only truth."
"It seems that you are still a little unconvinced." Professor Faltings's mouth wrinkled, as if he was smiling, but it was not so obvious.
Professor Shigefumi Mori noticed the subtle change in his expression, so he shrugged and gave an ambiguous answer.
"I'm not unconvinced, I just think there may be other secrets in this … Okay, let's stop here. Let's change to a more pleasant topic."
…
Since the establishment of L.S.P.M and the announcement of the ABC conjecture as the target, Jin Ling University had attracted the attention of mathematicians from all over the world. It had become the focus of heated discussion for a while.
Not only because of this perverted lineup, but also because of the statement made by Shinichi Mochizuki on his personal blog.
No one thought that this scholar, who was immersed in his own world, would actually take the initiative to walk out of his own home one day in the future.
What was even more unexpected was that this controversy that lasted for more than ten years actually ended in this way.
All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the Japanese mathematics community was quite gloomy and gloomy.
Netizens who didn't know the truth also expressed surprise and regret for such a result. Before this, many of them regarded Shinichi Mochizuki and his feat as a kind of pride, but they didn't expect that everything was just their wishful thinking. Many people couldn't accept it.
Some people with more radical views even thought that Schulz and Lu Zhou kidnapped their Mochizuki, forcing him to make such a statement.
Shinichi Mochizuki turned a deaf ear to the heated discussions on the Internet. These days, it was like he was living in seclusion in the mathematics world. He spent almost all of his experience on the ABC conjecture.
As for the reporters who tried to interview him, the University of Jin Ling stopped them.
He didn't know if it was Lu Zhou's illusion, but he felt that this guy seemed to be using this place as a temporary shelter.
He couldn't help but wonder if this guy had purposely found a place with no colleagues and took advantage of the situation to get off the stage he had given him.
Obviously, Lu Zhou wasn't the only one who thought this way. Another person in the research group thought the same.
During the intermission of the seminar, Schulz looked at Shinichi Mochizuki, who was sitting across the conference table.
"Honestly, did you do it on purpose?"
Realizing that he was talking to himself, Shinichi Mochizuki pushed his glasses and asked.
"On purpose?"
"Find a place where you don't know anyone and wait for the commotion to pass before going back … In fact, you've already discovered that your method of proof doesn't work."
Shinichi Mochizuki was slightly taken aback. He raised his nostrils and looked at Schulz.
"Is it necessary for me to do that?"
"Don't be discouraged, my friend, I'm just worried about you." Schulz said with a smile on his face, "I suggest that we can have a party, or go out for a drink together to comfort our —"
Seeing that the two people were about to fight again, Lu Zhou, who was sitting at the conference table, quickly coughed and interrupted him.
"Alright, you should stop before going too far. Let's end the break here … Let's get back to what we were discussing."
Seeing the serious expressions of the other three teammates, Lu Zhou cleared his throat and continued.
"The research progress these days has been smooth. Compared to the dilemma we faced when the project was just starting, we have achieved a lot of results on key issues.
"Starting from the refinement of Baker's theorem, the idea of gradually approaching the ABC conjecture is correct.
"The key to the problem now is that we must find a way to give a more accurate result on the upper bound of L (a, b, c), and —"
Lu Zhou pushed his chair and slid to the side of the whiteboard. He picked up a marker and scribbled a line of calculations on it.
[c < exp {C (rad (abc)) ^ (13 + ε)}.]
He tapped the whiteboard with the pen cap and continued.
"Also, how to further promote this in-progress achievement."
"There is no shortcut in this part of the research. We can only find the answer through continuous attempts."
Lu Zhou paused for a moment. He glanced around at his three teammates and continued in a serious tone.
"In the next few days, the intensity of our work may be very high. I hope you can persist for a while.
"Next, I will assign your work."
"Wait a minute." For some reason, Schulz's face suddenly showed an expression of interest. He raised his right hand and said, "Are we going on a retreat?"
Lu Zhou was slightly taken aback. He then nodded.
"Sort of."
Although this was just a habit of his own research, he did not recommend others to follow.
However, the expression on Schulz's face turned into surprise. He snapped his fingers and spoke.
"Great, I have long wanted to ask you about that mysterious research technique!"
Shinichi Mochizuki and Perelman looked at the excited look on Schulz's face. They also seemed to be very interested. The other students sitting in the office quietly raised their heads and cast a strange look at the big names.
Going on a retreat with Professor Lu …
Is this guy crazy?
As for Lu Zhou, he smiled embarrassedly.
"No problem.
"It's just that this process may be a little hard.
"If you can't hold on, be sure to tell me."
