Hung the paper from Lu Zhou on the arxiv website had passed for a week, the person who overwhelming majorities paid attention to the Goldbach's conjecture issue, had heard this news. 距离陆舟将论文挂在arxiv网站上已经过去了一个星期,绝大多数关注哥德巴赫猜想问题的人,都已经听闻了这一消息。 Regarding that 50 pages of papers, some people to „group construction law” thumped the table and shouted praise, some people expressed unbelievable, some people did not spare a glance to these 50 pages of papers, because wanted to understand the complete proof process, truly was not an easy matter. 对于那篇五十页的论文,有的人对其中的“群构法”拍案叫绝,有的人表示难以置信,也有的人对这五十页纸不屑一顾,因为想要看懂全部的证明过程,确实不是一件容易的事情。 Except that these are skilled in „two meters four to look like five lines of Eight Trigrams (gossip)” the people branches of law, the scholar of many analytic theory of numbers direction studies the Goldbach's conjecture even, still few people have a thorough understanding of over two types methods simultaneously. 除去那些精通“两仪四象五行八卦”法的民科们,很多解析数论方向的学者即便研究哥德巴赫猜想,也很少有人同时吃透两种以上的方法。 For example the person who studies diligently the big sieve method, not necessarily is skilled in the circle method, in turn is also same. Except the choice of mainstream, some choice density laws and triangle summation conduct the wait method of solution, unexpected winner. 比如钻研大筛法的人,不一定精通圆法,反过来也是一样。除去主流的选择,还有一些选择密率法和三角求和进行求解的等等方法,就更加冷门了。 But in Lu Zhou use group theory law, not only can see the sieve method the shadow, but can also see the circle method, even is the thought of group theory, browses the range is nothing less than broad. 而在陆舟使用的群论法中,不但能看到筛法的影子,还能看到圆法,甚至是群论的思想,涉猎范围不可谓不广。 Also therefore, let alone was the accuracy that examined the paper, wanted to understand this paper, had certain threshold. 也正是因此,别说是检验论文的正确性了,想要弄懂这篇论文,都存在一定的门槛。 Naturally, the theory of numbers general viewpoint is quite optimistic, after all Lu Zhou has won Kohl theory of numbers prize, moreover solved in many theories of numbers particularly the prime number direction difficult problem. 当然,数论界普遍的观点还是比较乐观的,毕竟陆舟已经拿过柯尔数论奖,而且解决了很多数论上尤其是素数方向的难题。 Because many professors mentioned when teaching this matter, the discussion from the academic circle, proliferated on some campus bbs gradually. 因为不少教授在讲课时提到了这件事儿,讨论渐渐从学术圈,扩散到了一些校园bbs上。 The scholars who now not only pay attention to this direction are discussing this matter, even the students of major university math departments, is whooping to this paper. 现在不只是关注这一方向的学者们在议论这件事儿,甚至连各大高校数学系的学生们,也都在对这篇论文议论纷纷。 Externally some to forecast at mathematical forum that the poor prize is well-known, a discussion then therefore launches. 在国外某个以预测菲奖而闻名的数学论坛上,一场讨论便因此而展开。 【Ok! I know that he has solved Twin Prime Conjecture and Polignac suspected, but we taught in the class have said that the Goldbach's conjecture and they were completely not a thing of rank. It seems the Ivy League league tournament to be the same with Super Bowl, although is the football, but is completely not a heavyweight. To put it bluntly, I do not believe that his paper is correct, where definitely has problems, how long it is estimated that will unable to be overthrown.】 【ok！我知道他已经解决了孪生素数猜想和波利尼亚克猜想,但我们教授在课上说过,哥德巴赫猜想和他们完全不是一个级别的东西。就好像常青藤盟校联赛和超级碗一样,虽然都是橄榄球,但完全不是一个重量级。说白了,我不相信他的论文是正确的,肯定哪里出了问题,估计要不了多久就会被推翻。】 【Who therefore you do teach are?】 【所以你们教授是谁？】 【Jeames Maynard! 14 years of sastra Larmat gold medal winner! Candidate that 18 years of Fields rewards! I thought that his opinion is quite authoritative.】 【杰姆斯・梅纳德！14年sastra拉马努金奖得主！18年菲尔茨奖的候选！我觉得他的意见还是比较权威的。】 【, That Maynard, I have heard, the English of probably that research prime number spacing? Heard after stretch/open Yitang figures out 70 million, he has been challenging Twin Prime Conjecture, moreover prepared entire one year, finally was topped by others, air/Qi the draft manuscript entire fever?( Smiles)】 【哦,那个梅纳德,我听说过,好像是那个研究素数间距的英国人？听说张益唐算出七千万之后,他一直在挑战孪生素数猜想,而且准备了整整一年,结果被别人拔得头筹,气的把手稿全烧了？(笑)】 【Hehe!】 【呵呵！】 【I and your viewpoint is just right, we teach to this paper appraisal are very high, think the group construction law will become a very potential analytic theory of numbers research tool.】 【我和你的观点正好相反,我们教授对这篇论文评价很高,认为其中的群构法将成为一项非常有潜力的解析数论研究工具。】 【? Which fellow do you teach are? With all due respect, the issue in analytic theory of numbers, the issue about prime number domain, is not everyone has the edit ability particularly.】 【哦？你们教授又是哪个家伙？恕我直言,在解析数论上的问题,尤其是关于素数领域的问题,可不是所有人都有审稿能力。】 【Terence Tao.】 【陶哲轩。】 【......】 【……】 ...... …… on arxiv does not have the peer review, the accuracy of paper unable to decide, actually this mathematical difficult problem whether was shown, suddenly also has wide divided opinions. arxiv上没有同行评审,论文的正确性也无法定夺,这一数学难题究竟是否被证明,一时间也是众说纷纭。 However as we all know, the mathematics circles will not make this dazzling research success waiting too long. 然而所有人都知道,数学界不会让这份耀眼的研究成功等待太久。 Uploads paper in Lu Zhou the second week, Institute for Advanced Study then in own official site, updated a conference information. 就在陆舟上传论文的第二个星期,普林斯顿高等研究院便在自己的官网上,更新了一条会议信息。 Next week on Monday, Lu Zhou in No. 1 lecture hall of Institute for Advanced Study, will be themed the Goldbach's conjecture to prove that does for one hour to report. 下周周一,陆舟将在普林斯顿高等研究院的一号报告厅,以哥德巴赫猜想证明为主题做一小时报告。 As this announcement comes out, all regarding the paper accurate argument, all turned to this public lecture discussion. 随着这条公告一出来,所有对于论文正确性的争论,全都变成了对这场报告会本身的讨论。 Many people to the paper accurate suspicion, mainly stems from the group construction law did not understand, and article on arxiv does not have the peer review. If pastes in the form of public lecture, moreover in Institute for Advanced Study this place, many issues will be inquiring the link to be solved without a doubt. 很多人对论文正确性的怀疑,主要是源于对群构法的不了解,以及arxiv上的文章没有同行评审。如果是以报告会的形式贴出,而且还是在普林斯顿高等研究院这种地方,很多问题毫无疑问都将在提问环节得到解决。 Also therefore, earnestness of especially Lu Zhou preparation, had not treated it lightly because of the approval from system for these days slightly. 也正是因此,这几天陆舟准备的格外认真,丝毫没有因为来自系统的认可而掉以轻心。 A conjecture proven key is self consistent method logically, but needs to be approved from peer in the final analysis. This and subject test has difference essentially, no model answer of reference value can examine. As declaration of proof suspicion, he has the duty to explain that oneself theory, and replied all questions. 一个数学猜想被证明的关键是逻辑上的自洽,但归根结底还是需要获得来自同行的认可。这和学科测验有着本质上的不同,没有一个可供参考的标准答案能够检验。作为证明猜想的宣称者,他有义务解释自己的理论,并回答所有质疑。 Even if a small detail, Lu Zhou does not dare easily to let off, many traps often on conceals in some „obvious” in issue. 哪怕是一个微小的细节,陆舟也不敢轻易放过,很多陷阱往往就藏在一些“显而易见”的问题上。 Let alone was he, showed that Fermat big theorem Wyles who contested in these small issues, by one „obvious” actually the place card of existing problem quick one year. If not encouragement of friend, even once planned to admit the failure. 别说是他了,证明费马大定理的怀尔斯都在这些小问题上中过招,被一个“显而易见”却存在问题的地方卡了快一年。如果不是朋友的鼓励,甚至一度打算承认失败。 When completes this work, Lu Zhou also sighs with emotion at heart. 在完成这一工作的时候,陆舟心里也是不禁感慨。 Before had not felt, now he realizes, led a student is a how useful matter. 以前没感觉,现在他才体会到,带一个学生是一件多么有用的事情。 Must mount the stage to make the thing of report first to throw to the student, when the examination site takes to look, the place all picture where cannot understand comes out, basically will travel together the place that carries to create obstacles for is very obvious. 要上台做报告的东西先扔给学生当考点拿回去看一遍,哪里看不懂的地方全都画出来,基本上会被同行拎出来刁难的地方就很明显了。 What a pity is, although Professor Deligne borrows the postgraduate candidate who led to be the staff officer to him, but helps his staff officer is not the theoretical side, merely is the matter on staff officer ppt. 可惜的是,虽然德利涅教授借了一名自己带的博士生给他做参谋,但帮他参谋的也不是理论方面,仅仅是参谋ppt上的事情。 Even if Lu Zhou wants to ask where his paper cannot understand, he is still only a face compels ignorant, cannot understand completely. 就算陆舟想问他自己的论文哪里看不懂,他也只是一脸懵逼,完全看不懂。 The direction that because he studies is algebra Geometry, as for any big sieve method and circle method, knows nothing radically...... 因为他研究的方向是代数几何,至于什么大筛法、圆法,根本一窍不通…… ...... …… The time passes by day-by-day, finally to public lecture the day before. 时间一天天过去,终于到了报告会的前一天。 With flooding into of one crowd of mathematicians, the tranquil Princeton small town, is following to live it up. 随着一群数学家们的涌入,连带着宁静的普林斯顿小镇,都跟着热闹了起来。 To reception from all over the world mathematician, Princeton can be said as quite attentive. 在对来自世界各地数学家的接待方面,普林斯顿可以说是相当用心了。 According to the arrangement of Institute for Advanced Study, was invited the mathematicians who attend this public lecture, was arranged opposite of Palmer Square Princeton Hotel. 根据普林斯顿高等研究院的安排,受邀参加这场报告会的数学家们,都被安排在了帕尔默广场对面的普林斯顿酒店。 If all goes well, not only daytime academic conference, in the evening also one glee feast that fills the champagne and good food. 如果一切顺利,不只是白天的学术会议,晚上还有一场充满香槟与美食的庆功宴。 However Lu Zhou does not have the leisure to consider these issues temporarily, because to him, reported before starting is very every minute precious every seconds. 不过陆舟暂时没有闲暇去考虑这些问题,因为对于他而言,报告开始前的每一分每一秒都很宝贵。 Next afternoon, in Institute for Advanced Study No. 1 lecture hall is bustling and filled with people. 次日下午,普林斯顿高等研究院一号报告厅内人头攒动。 Besides was invited the scholar who attended the conference, some students of being unsolicited. And some people following teachers come, some people study in Princeton, but also some people even drive from New York and Philadelphia of next door. 除了受邀参加会议的学者之外,还有一些不请自来的学生。其中有的人是跟着导师来的,有的人就在普林斯顿读书,还有人甚至是开车从隔壁的纽约、费城来的。 Although they have not received the notice of conference specific time, but some waited for the person here to take advantage to snatch the position early randomly. 他们虽然没有收到会议具体时间的通知,但有些早早等候在这里的人还是趁乱抢到了位置。 Comes the late person as for these, some sit on the seat both sides aisles simply, and what is more even stood the corner and outside corridor, heard the news to catch up with the reporters who to stand with these. 至于那些来晚的人,有的干脆在座位两侧的走道上席地而坐,更有甚者甚至站到了墙角、走廊外面,和那些闻讯赶来的记者们站在一起。 The public lecture two points formally start, three ended, according to the inquiry population and inquiry content, may lengthen. 报告会两点正式开始,三点结束,根据提问人数和提问内容,可能会有所延长。 If as expected, after this public lecture ended, Institute for Advanced Study will then unite " Math Yearly journal » editorial department, will also organize one four to six people of syndicates, the comprehensive conference records to the Lu Zhou paper is held reviews a draft simultaneously independently, finally compiles the edit opinion, decided whether his paper passes. 不出意外的话,这场报告会结束之后,普林斯顿高等研究院便会联合《数学年刊》的编辑部,还会组织一个四到六人的评审团,综合会议记录对陆舟的论文进行同时独立审稿,最后汇总审稿意见,决定他的论文是否通过。 It can be said that this paper manuscript is whether smooth, looked that he can construct law to say his group clearly. 可以说,这篇论文的过稿是否顺利,就看他能不能把他的群构法讲清楚了。 Stood in secret of lecture hall, Lu Zhou looked at time in the cell phone screen again, made a deep breath. 站在报告厅的幕后,陆舟再次看了眼手机屏幕中的时间,做了一个深呼吸。 Also remained for five minutes. 还剩五分钟了。 This is the tenth time that he put out cell phone to look at the time. 这是他第十次拿出手机看时间。 As for is several deep breath adjustment heart rate, he is unclear. 至于是第几次深呼吸调整心率,他已经记不清了。 Before then, Lu Zhou has there to find from Professor Deligne, the population of who attended. 在此之前,陆舟有从德利涅教授那里了解到,参加会议的人数。 Person who does not consider to enter for independently, was only invited the well-known scholar of appearance to be over 150, including from Paris, some from Germany, there is from his motherland, as well as some ripe faces. 不考虑自主报名参加的人,光是受邀到场的知名学者就已经超过了一百五十位,其中有的来自巴黎,有的来自德国,也有来自他的祖国,以及一些熟面孔。 Besides the person of mathematics circles, but also media reporter from the world. 除了数学界的人之外,还有来自世界各地的媒体记者。 Quick, he will then stand under the entire world vision, under period for this century difficult problem picture. 很快,他便会站在全世界目光下,为这一世纪难题画下句点。 At this moment, staff of higher research institute pushed the door to enter the ready room, said with the respectful sound and Lu Zhou. 就在这时,一位高等研究院的工作人员推门走进了准备室,用恭敬的声音和陆舟说道。 „Mr. land, the time is similar, did you prepare?” “陆先生,时间已经差不多了,请问您准备好了吗？” Has not answered this issue immediately. 没有立刻回答这个问题。 Lu Zhou turned around to look to the mirror, putting out a hand managed the chest front tie. 陆舟转身看向了镜子,伸手理了理胸前的领带。 Finally the deep breath the one breath, he facing mirror , the corners of the mouth brought back a happy expression. 最后深呼吸了一口气,他面对镜子中的自己,嘴角勾起了一丝笑意。 „Prepared.” “准备好了。”
