Vera's fair and pretty face gradually turned red. She pursed her lips into a 'W' shape and a trace of stubbornness appeared on her face as she asked, unconvinced.
"Why?"
If it was because of a problem with the calculation process, she would accept it. However, she couldn't accept the fact that her proof was rejected without any reason.
Even though Lu Zhou was her most respected supervisor.
Lu Zhou saw through Vera's thoughts at a glance. He sighed softly and patiently explained to her.
"The curve Re (s) = 1-c/ln [| Im (s) | + 2] is infinitely close to Re (s) = 1 when Im (s) → ∞. If you use the Group Structure Method, you won't be able to get around this conclusion. Therefore, if you want to use the critical zone method, you have to find another way. The reason why I didn't consider the Group Structure Method when I proved the existence of epsilon, instead, I used algebraic geometry. "
No one knew the Group Structure Method better than Lu Zhou himself, from the twin prime conjecture to Goldbach's conjecture.
When he saw Deligné prove that "all zeros of the zeta function of a d-dimensional algebraic cluster over a finite field are located on the complex plane Re (s) = 1/2, 3/2, …, (2d-1)/2 line", he introduced homology group mapping and Fourier transform. The first thing Lu Zhou thought about was the Group Structure Method.
However, things didn't go that smoothly.
When he tried to introduce group theory into the research of the Riemann zeta function, he quickly found out that this was a dead end.
Lu Zhou looked at the girl's blushing face and spoke.
"On the surface, the critical zone problem is an analytic number theory problem, but it's actually a complex analysis problem. Compared to introducing the Group Structure Method into the Riemann zeta function, it might be more appropriate to consider algebraic geometry methods. I recommend you read Grothendieck's algebraic proof of the Riemann-Roch theorem, it should give you a lot of inspiration. "
The steam on the coffee cup slowly rose, and the little girl stared at the keyboard without saying a word.
After a while, she raised her head and looked at Lu Zhou.
"I still think that my train of thought is correct."
"The conclusion that the curve Re (s) = 1-c/ln [| Im (s) | + 2] is infinitely close to Re (s) = 1 when Im (s) → ∞ is not a necessary condition to introduce the Group Structure Method into the Riemann zeta function. I will prove it to you!"
Looking at the determined expression on Vera's face, Lu Zhou thought for a while and suddenly smiled.
"Although I'm more optimistic about another way to solve the problem, it seems like you have your own ideas. If you believe that you can do it, then try to continue in this direction. Maybe you're right. Maybe we can meet at the finish line. "
Vera nodded.
"Yes! I won't … cough, cough! "
Halfway through her sentence, the little girl suddenly covered her mouth and coughed twice.
Looking at Vera sitting back on the chair, Lu Zhou paused for a moment and asked with concern.
"What's wrong?"
Vera gently panted for a moment before lifting her head. A forced smile appeared on her unnaturally pale face as she softly said.
"I'm fine … It's just that the weather has changed a lot recently. I might have a cold."
Lu Zhou: "… Take care of your body. You've never had a good physique. Wear more clothes when it's cold. If you feel uncomfortable, drink more hot water. "
Vera didn't know if it was because of Lu Zhou's concern or the cold, but she blushed and nodded.
"Thank you."
The conversation ended abruptly.
The two of them fell into silence at the same time.
It seemed like the two of them didn't know how to continue this conversation without talking about mathematics.
While Lu Zhou was thinking about ending the conversation, Vera suddenly opened her mouth and took the initiative to speak first.
"Um …"
Lu Zhou: "What?"
Vera gently bit her lips and looked at Lu Zhou.
"I still remember the agreement.
"So, I'll work hard!"
Lu Zhou paused for a second.
Just as he was about to say something, the phone was hung up.
Lu Zhou looked at the dark video window and went silent for a while.
Suddenly, a pop-up window popped up on the lower right corner of his desktop.
Xiao Ai: [Master, do you need me to reconnect the video call? (.)】
After half a minute, Lu Zhou smiled and shook his head.
"No need, even if I reconnect, I don't know what to say."
Xiao Ai: [Okay ~ 0.0]
Lu Zhou: "Speaking of which, you can even answer a video call after it's been hung up?"
Xiao Ai: [Is this hard for Xiao Ai? ()】
Lu Zhou: "… You're right."
He almost forgot that this guy once hacked into a European government system and used a loophole in the system to forge an identity. This helped him smuggle a machine tool that was on the banned list.
If it could even do this kind of trick, hacking into a personal computer through the network cable was probably not a small matter to it.
…
The quasi Riemann's conjecture problem had been solved. Even though the value of epsilon was infinitesimal, it opened the door to a new world.
There was only one problem left, which was how to push the value of epsilon to 1/2.
Over the past few days, Lu Zhou spent at least four hours a day in the Jin Ling University library. He was preparing to overcome the last obstacle.
Even though the Jin Ling University library wasn't as powerful as the Firestone Library in Princeton, it was still able to access the manuscripts of some well-known scholars. But generally speaking, in this library, he could find any book he wished to find.
As for the books that he didn't have, as long as he put them on the list, the library would find a way to get them for him and add them to the library's shelves.
Speaking of this matter, there was also a small interlude.
While he was sitting in the library researching the Riemann zeta function, someone secretly took a photo of him sitting in front of a desk full of books and posted it on WeChat.
Later, after some twists and turns, for some reason, this photo appeared in a viral article that swept through the entire high school's WeChat Moments.
Actually, Lu Zhou didn't mind people using him as a positive example to teach others to study hard and make progress every day. The only thing that made him a little unhappy was the proverb "never too old to learn" in their WeChat Moments …
What the hell was' live and learn '?
I'm not even thirty yet!
How am I old?
I'm so angry!
It was worth mentioning that while Lu Zhou was researching how to extend the quasi Riemann's conjecture to Riemann's conjecture, Professor Faltings, the director of the Max Planck Institute of Mathematics, finally accepted the review invitation from Annual Mathematics.
With the confirmation of the reviewer, Lu Zhou's thesis officially entered the peer review stage.
It was a long wait.
Based on the difficulty of the Riemann's conjecture and the thickness of the 40-page thesis, it would take at least December for the review results to come out.
Because of this proof for the quasi Riemann's conjecture, the entire mathematics community was abuzz.
Even when walking around the Jin Ling University campus, Lu Zhou could occasionally hear people talking about this matter.
However, Lu Zhou didn't care too much about what other people were talking about. He put all of his attention on the value of epsilon.
Just like this, November gradually came to an end.
A major event that had nothing to do with the mathematics community happened in the international community. The degree of sensation far exceeded the proof of the Riemann's conjecture.
After six months of construction, the first phase of the lunar research facility was finally completed with the unremitting efforts of the Lunar Orbit Committee and countless aerospace companies!
