Return to the π (x) function itself …
After the video call ended, Qin Yue sat in his Princeton office. He looked up at the ceiling and thought about the meaning of Lu Zhou's words.
After a long silence, the thoughtful expression on Qin Yue's face suddenly relaxed. He shook his head with a slight headache.
"If that's the case … Doesn't that mean Molina and the others are doing useless work?"
It's not just Molina …
If this idea were to spread, it would set off an earthquake in the mathematics community.
Especially in the analytic number theory community. Any research on Riemann's conjecture would be subverted …
After all, the person who said this was Professor Lu, who had already solved two Millennium Prize Problems. If even Professor Lu thought that Lu Zhou's conjecture was unreliable, then it was basically a death sentence.
Qin Yue hesitated for a bit and decided to keep his words to himself. After all, he wasn't sure if Lu Zhou was just joking or not. If that was the case, then this joke was a little too big.
However, what he didn't know was that shortly after he hung up the phone, Lu Zhou uploaded the completed thesis to the arXiv website and put up a preprint.
It was foreseeable that in a few days, the mathematics community would be in an uproar again …
…
"Ahhhh … I feel like I'm going to lose all my hair."
Han Mengqi sat at her desk and stared at the question on the draft paper. She bit the pen cap and scratched her head in frustration. She couldn't think of a solution to this problem.
"For any real number s > 1, define ζ (s) = Σ1/(m ^ s) … Prove that ζ (2n) is a transcendental number."
Han Mengqi repeated the question over and over again. She was so angry that her cheeks bulged like a frog.
After a while, she exhaled and leaned back in her chair. She stared at the ceiling in a daze for a minute as she let out the breath she had been holding.
"… Maybe there's no answer at all?"
Han Mengqi sat up straight and opened Baidu to search for the question. As usual, she didn't find any similar questions.
It seemed that this question was indeed set by Lu Zhou himself …
Sighing in defeat, the little girl hugged her knees and sat on the chair. She stared blankly at the draft paper on the table.
The computational materials science methods were completely useless in the field of pure mathematics.
Even though she knew that it was better to search the database for relevant literature and see if there was any similar research she could use as a reference, she was a complete layman in analytic number theory. She didn't even know where to start.
As far as the eye could see, it was all blind spots …
"Do you really not want to bring me along …?"
Han Mengqi grumbled as she buried her chin between her knees.
But very quickly, her eyebrows furrowed stubbornly. She, who had sunk into depression, slapped her face hard and pulled herself together.
"Hehe …"
"… You think I can't prove it?"
Han Mengqi thought about the surprised expression on that person's face when he saw that she had solved this impossible problem. The corner of Han Mengqi's mouth curled up a little, and her eyes burned with a burning desire to fight.
"I must prove it!"
…
"Achoo!"
Lu Zhou had already returned to his Zhongshan International mansion. He had just taken a shower and was about to take out a bottle of iced cocoa milk from the fridge when he suddenly sneezed three times.
"Who's talking about how handsome I am behind my back …"
Lu Zhou closed the refrigerator door and slowly walked to his study room. However, "Xiao Ai", who was lying next to the coffee machine, flew up and chased after him.
"Master, normally, one sneeze means someone is thinking about you, two sneezes means someone is insulting you, three sneezes means you have a cold, no one is talking about how handsome you are behind your back …"
Lu Zhou: "Shut up."
The blabbering speaker suddenly went silent. Instead, the electronic screen on the drone flickered, and a string of characters popped up.
[(• ́ ∀ • ́) …]
[Master is so handsome ~]
Lu Zhou didn't care about Xiao Ai. He walked into his study room and sat down. He took out his computer from his bag and placed it on his desk. Coincidentally, his phone on the table vibrated, and two messages popped up on the screen.
[Remember to come to the company tomorrow!]
[Don't forget! (pitiful) (pitiful)]
Lu Zhou looked at the messages from Chen Yushan and smirked. He unlocked the screen and typed [Okay]. He clicked the send button and put his phone aside. He turned on his computer and logged into arXiv's homepage.
Even though his thousand-word thesis had only been uploaded for less than five hours, the number of downloads had already exceeded a thousand. Even the number of citations had increased by one. Lu Zhou didn't know who did this.
Would five hours be enough for him to read through his thesis?
Lu Zhou logged into his MathOverflow account and found out that there were related topics on the largest international mathematics forum.
However, the focus of these topics didn't seem to be in the academic field. Instead, it seemed to be in some strange places …
[Unbelievable!]
[The Levinson algorithm has already produced the best result for Riemann's conjecture, yet someone thinks that this method is impossible? Doesn't this mean that Kang Rui's critical line theorem is useless?]
[Lu Zhou's thesis doesn't seem to express this meaning. He seems to think that this idea may produce more valuable results, but it will be difficult to solve Riemann's conjecture.]
[I agree with Professor Lu's point of view. A while ago, Professor Molina Abel from Princeton and her collaborator Vera Pulyuy used Odrisko's zero-point algorithm to verify Kang Rui's zero-point theorem. However, they couldn't advance the number 0.4. What does this mean? Maybe 0.4 is the limit of this idea.]
[Remember the twin prime number theorem? Everyone was using the sieve method to reduce the 70 million distance to 246. Only he thought of using a topological method to improve the sieve method and finally proved the whole proposition … Maybe we fell into the same mistake with Riemann's conjecture.]
"Is there no constructive thinking at all?"
Lu Zhou didn't see any serious academic exchanges. He only saw a group of mathematics PhD students making a fuss.
However, it made sense. Expecting someone to go deep into the problem in such a short amount of time was a bit too much. After all, Riemann's conjecture was at the top of the chain of contempt. Forget about normal PhD students, even professors like Deligné wouldn't treat it as a major research topic.
Otherwise, no matter who it was, they would starve to death …
Lu Zhou yawned and saw that it was getting late. He turned off his computer and left the study room.
He still had to meet with the Russian delegation tomorrow. After that, he would probably have to attend a diplomatic banquet. He planned on going to bed early and resting up for tomorrow's activities.
Even though the Lunar Orbit Committee didn't have anything else to worry about, as a good chief designer, he still had to finish his work.
Lu Zhou closed his eyes and fell asleep. The discussion on Mathoverflow continued to ferment, and it gradually attracted the attention of many big names in this field.
It wasn't just Mathoverflow, but major academic exchange forums around the world were filled with topics related to mathematics.
Professor Lu was planning on solving Riemann's conjecture!
And he had made some progress!
It seemed like Qin Yue was right.
The entire mathematics community was excited by Lu Zhou's thesis on arXiv …
