While Lu Zhou and his apprentice were happily eating, the auditorium next door was in chaos.
The scholars, who were usually very gentle and elegant, were now like sharks that smelled blood, and they almost crazily rushed to the front of the auditorium.
Even though these people only accounted for half of the attendees, it was still a huge number.
After Dean Qin realized that the situation was gradually getting out of control, he had to ask for help from the people responsible for security at the venue.
These people weren't university employees. Apparently, they were sent from a security department.
With the appearance of these people, the situation at the scene was quickly under control.
Then, Dean Qin and a group of security guards squeezed into the crowd and "took" the whiteboard from the scholars.
When Dean Qin saw that the whiteboard was safe, he sighed in relief.
He wasn't worried about the mathematicians in the auditorium trampling on each other. Other than a few big names in the Chinese academic community, he wasn't familiar with anyone else.
However, this whiteboard was a cultural relic. If the words on it were ruined, it would be a huge loss for the Jin Ling University mathematics department …
…
Less than ten minutes after the report ended.
The discussion about this report on the Mathoverflow forum had skyrocketed.
What pushed the topic to a new height was Tarry Tao's status update.
[This is the most exciting report I've heard in three years … The last time was at the International Congress of Mathematicians. It was an honor to witness the proof of the quasi- Riemann conjecture. We are one step closer to the crown:)]
The last time Professor Tao updated his status update was two weeks ago when the thesis came out.
At that time, he said that he had doubts about some of the steps in the thesis and that he needed some time to think about it. The people who were waiting for Professor Tao to comment on Professor Lu's proof had been waiting for a long time.
Now that this status update suddenly appeared in people's eyes, it immediately caused a lot of discussion on Mathoverflow.
[Professor Tao is saying … Professor Lu's proof is correct?]
[Wait a minute, Professor Tao should be at the Jin Ling University report right now, so … Does Professor Faltings also admit it?]
[That's impossible! Anyone who has dealt with that old Germanic knows how arrogant and stubborn he really is.]
[It's not necessarily impossible. His arrogance and stubbornness come from his academic achievements and his serious and responsible attitude towards academic issues. Do you think your academic achievements are worthy of his attitude towards you?]
[Maybe Professor Lu can do it? You've seen the thesis, it's obviously controversial!]
[Is anyone here? The people at the scene squeaked! I just want to know what the result is.]
This sentence was what a lot of people were thinking.
For those people who didn't want to challenge Riemann's conjecture, they didn't care about the academic details. Instead, they cared about whether or not the quasi Riemann's conjecture was solved. Between Professor Faltings and Professor Lu, who won the "pinnacle showdown"?
Fortunately, they didn't have to wait for long.
Five minutes after Tao Zhexuan updated the status update, many scholars who had left the report site posted their photos to their blogs, Facebook, and forums.
Thirty minutes after the report ended, someone uploaded the recorded video to YouTube and shared it on the Mathoverflow forum.
The second the video was uploaded, the discussion about the quasi Riemann's conjecture was pushed to a new peak!
Especially when Professor Faltings said "you are right" at the end, many people were so shocked that their eyes almost popped out.
[Professor Faltings … admitted defeat?]
[What do you mean admitted defeat? An academic debate isn't a tug-of-war … But this is ridiculous. Even if Professor Lu's argument was flawless, it shouldn't be so flawless that Professor Faltings admitted that he was right, right?]
[Makes sense, unless … The mathematical tool that Professor Lu used at the end was so perfect that he couldn't refute it. My research direction isn't algebraic geometry. What exactly is the hyperelliptic curve analysis method?]
[Regardless, one era is over, and a new era has begun.]
[God Lu is nutty!]
While the popularity of related topics continued to rise, a big name in the field of algebraic geometry suddenly made a post.
[I don't know if you guys noticed, but the "hyperelliptic curve analysis method" that Professor Lu created when he proved the quasi Riemann's conjecture seems interesting. Proving the existence of epsilon isn't its final conclusion, this infinitely small value can be further magnified!]
Surprisingly, after this post was published, the discussion on Mathoverflow cooled down a lot.
However, if one thought about it carefully, it wasn't difficult to understand why it became like this.
As more and more videos were released, the core of the hyperelliptic curve analysis method was revealed. Scholars finally began to understand why Professor Faltings was so easily convinced. At the same time, they discovered that there was a huge mountain of gold in front of them.
The value of epsilon could be further magnified!
There was still room for further research on the proof of the critical zone!
The hyperelliptic curve analysis method was like a pickaxe for digging gold.
Not only did Professor Lu make this pickaxe sharp and reliable, but he also gave it to everyone.
If he couldn't even grasp the opportunity in front of him, then as a scholar, he would be a failure …
…
[Congratulations! The report was a great success, right?]
Lu Zhou was sitting in the lounge and drinking tea. He looked at Chen Yushan's text message and smiled. He tapped the screen with his thumb.
[Thank you.]
Han Mengqi noticed the smile on Lu Zhou's face and asked curiously.
"Who are you talking to?"
Lu Zhou replied casually.
"Your sister."
"Oh," Han Mengqi said as she stuffed her takeout box into a plastic bag. She also put away Lu Zhou's takeout box and said, "I'll throw it away for you."
Lu Zhou didn't refuse. He handed the plastic bag over.
"Thanks!"
Han Mengqi stuck out her tongue and walked away with the plastic bag. She didn't know why, but she was a little unhappy.
Coincidentally, just as she opened the door, Dean Qin walked in.
Seeing the dean, Han Mengqi politely greeted him and gave up her spot at the door.
"Hello, Dean!"
"Hello, hello." Dean Qin looked at her and smiled. He then looked at Lu Zhou, who was sitting at the long table.
With an expression of having finally found something, he walked up and asked with a smile.
"Why are you here? I've been looking for you for a long time. "
Lu Zhou: "It's raining outside, so I'm eating here … Why are you looking for me?"
Dean Qin: "The school committee booked a group buffet at a five-star hotel outside the school, but there was an accident, so the notice only just came. Our secretary just called me to inform me, so I rushed over immediately. But who would have thought that you would be so fast and have already finished eating. "
Lu Zhou smiled and spoke.
"Isn't that perfect? I'm not interested in banquets anyway, so you can go on my behalf. "
"I knew you would say that." Dean Qin sighed and said, "But you should go to the banquet tonight. After all, half of these scholars are here for you, so we should be the host."
Lu Zhou: "Okay then, I'll go tonight … Oh yeah, where's the whiteboard?"
"I put it away for you. Why? Do you want to take it home? "
Lu Zhou saw how nervous Dean Qin was. He paused for a second and looked at him strangely.
"I'm not going to take it home … But I have some use for it. I wrote the equations on the whiteboard, so I haven't sorted them out yet. I plan on organizing all of this into a thesis and publish it in Annual Mathematics. "
"That's good." Dean Qin sighed in relief when he heard Lu Zhou's plan. He smiled and said, "I'll get someone to bring the whiteboard to you."
With that, he hurriedly turned around and left the lounge, deeply afraid of wasting even a second.
Lu Zhou looked at Dean Qin as he walked away. He tilted his head and muttered to himself.
"… Why are you acting so mysterious? What are you planning?"
Lu Zhou shook his head and put this matter aside. He then took out his laptop from his backpack and placed it on the table.
The quasi Riemann conjecture had come to an end.
The mathematical tools for the hyperelliptic geometric analysis method had been perfected 30 minutes ago.
Now, he only had three things to do.
The first thing was to complete the thesis describing the "hyperelliptic geometric analysis method".
The second thing was to tell his collaborator, his student Vera, about this good news.
As for the third thing …
That was to continue what he had been doing the other day.
Pushing the value of epsilon to the limit of 1/2, drawing a final end to this ultimate proposition that spanned a century and a half …
