Big withstand/top the publication as four of mathematics circles, almost any will order «Math Yearly journal» with the mathematical related laboratory and research institute. 作为数学界的四大顶刊,几乎任何一个和数学有关的实验室、研究所都会订购《数学年刊》。 Terence Tao's office, is naturally no exception. 陶哲轩的办公室,自然也不例外。 New «Math Yearly journal» just delivered to the office, he then puts down matter on hand, opened the Journal table of contents, starts paper that follows the table of contents to search for itself to be interested, then does to mark by the page number, when preparation not busy time concentrates reading. 新的《数学年刊》刚送到办公室,他便放下手边的事情,翻开了期刊的目录,开始顺着目录搜寻自己感兴趣的论文,然后在页码旁边做上标记,准备等到不忙的时候集中阅读。 At this moment, pinches pen tip suddenly slightly in his hand, stopped in behind of page number. 就在这时,捏在他手上的笔尖忽然微微一顿,停在了一个页码的后面。 «About Specific Starting value Under, Three dimensional Incompressible viscous flow navier-stokes Equation Smoothing solution Global existence Research» 《关于特定初始值下,三维不可压缩navier-stokes方程光滑解的整体存在性研究》 Ns equation?” “ns方程?” Reads the paper the title, on Terence Tao's face appeared the look of being interested. 看着论文的标题,陶哲轩的脸上浮现了感兴趣的神色。 About the research of ns equation, he for sometime has not seen from the mathematical yearly journal. 关于ns方程的研究,他已经有段时间没有从数学年刊上看到过了。 After all, even if the ns equation is widespread in the use of applied field, but regarding the pure mathematics, wants to make in this proposition enough mounts " Math Yearly journal » achievement, still was really difficult! 毕竟,即便ns方程在应用领域的用途非常广泛,但对于纯粹数学而言,想要在这个命题上做出足够登上《数学年刊》的成果,也实在是太困难了! Could not harness the curiosity in heart, Terence Tao puts down the pen in hand for the time being, following the title following page number, turned that page that the paper was. 驾不住心中的好奇,陶哲轩暂且搁下了手中的笔,顺着标题后面的页码,翻到了论文所在的那一页。 When he sees the instance of author, gawked slightly, the eyebrow lifted a being interested curve. 当他看到论文作者的瞬间,微微愣了一下,眉毛更是抬起了一丝感兴趣的弧度。 lu zhou? lu・zhou? Is planned had free time to read one collection of being interested, but saw this familiar name, he cannot wait immediately. 原本是打算等有空了把感兴趣的论文集中看一遍的,但看到了这个熟悉的名字,他立刻等不下去了。 Has taken a scratch paper of blank from the table, with Professor Tao of beginning a stroke, in the eye appeared again the earnest look, to paper in mathematical formula one after another, carefully was looking. 从桌上取过一张空白的草稿纸,重新拿起笔的陶教授,眼中浮现了认真的神色,对着论文上的一行一行算式,仔细地看了起来。 Time one minute one second passes by like this. 时间一分一秒就这样过去。 Unknowingly, then from early morning to high noon. 不知不觉,便从清晨到了正午。 Spent entire morning time, Professor Tao crossed the paper from beginning to end. 花了整整一个上午的时间,陶教授将论文从头到尾过了一遍。 When he puts down Journal, could not bear exude one to acclaim. 当他将期刊放下的时候,忍不住发出了一声赞叹。 Professor land really fierce......” “陆教授果然还是厉害啊……” Although only sketchy, but this does not hinder him to understand connotation. 虽然只粗略的过了一遍,但这并不妨碍他领略其中的内涵。 Especially what made his impression profound was, Lu Zhou in the mathematics method in the proof using, was he has not seen. 尤其令他印象深刻的是,陆舟在论证中用到的数学方法,是他所未见过的。 Naturally, to realize the excellent place in this paper profoundly, but must spend more time to read attentively. 当然,要想更深刻地体会这篇论文中的绝妙之处,还得花更多的时间去细读。 The interest came, afternoon class does not want to go, Professor Tao calls own teaching assistant, after the duty that will attend class flings the pot, then turned on the notebook. 兴致来了,下午的课也不想去了,陶教授给自己的助教打了个电话,将上课的任务甩锅之后,便打开了笔记本电脑。 Craves like Lu Zhou sending Weibo, this big shot besides the research, has in a circle the famous hobby. 就像陆舟热衷于发围脖一样,这位大佬除了研究之外,同样有着一个圈内出名的爱好。 That then updates the blog. 那便是更新博客。 Review hot spot event, review paper, review academic circle peer. 点评热点事件,点评论文,点评学术界的同行。 And, shares own feelings! 以及,分享自己的感想! ...... I think that this is a very interesting discovery, joyful and is not only he in the conclusion that in the paper reaches, but was he uses a very inspirational method in the discussion process. ……我认为这是一个很有意思的发现,让人欣喜的并不仅仅是他在论文中得到的结论,而是他在论证过程中运用到了一个很具有启发性的方法。 According to me for his understanding, being good at using many mathematical instruments is his merit, his browsing to different research area is I sees in the scholar to be most widespread. Not only so, he regarding the understanding and utilization ability of mathematical instrument, is I sees in the scholar rare. 根据我对他的了解,擅长使用多种数学工具是他的优点,他对不同研究领域的涉猎是我所见学者中最广泛的。不只是如此,他对于数学工具的理解和运用能力,也是我所见学者中罕见的。 Under normal conditions, if a scholar can utilize the pinnacle a mathematical instrument, and makes the innovation based on this, then can be joined to the outstanding this word sufficiently. 通常情况下,一名学者如果能够将一项数学工具运用到极致,并在此基础上做出创新,便足以配得上杰出这个词。 Obviously, his work above outstanding. 显然,他的工作更在杰出之上。 He excels at choosing a brand-new mentality, is an obsolete method inserts the new content, or takes this as the nutrient, based on this creates an unprecedented mathematics method. 他擅长于选择一条全新的思路,为一个陈旧的方法注入新的内容,或者以此为养分,在此基础上创造一个前所未有的数学方法。 Let words that I appraise, if continues to improve this mathematics method, perhaps he really solves this century difficult problem hopefully finally. 让我评价的话,如果继续完善这个数学方法,没准他真有希望最终解决这个世纪难题。 Naturally, we have to acknowledge, difficulty is big! 当然,我们也不得不承认,这其中的难度非常非常大! Must say the parital differential domain, has had in the scholar of research to the ns equation, anything can point tao, be able to be eminent probably. 要说偏微分领域,对ns方程有过研究的学者中,“什么都会一点的tao”,大概可以算是其中的翘楚了。 In 2014, Khazak mathematician Ottl Bayev ( otelbayev ) declared that proved the existence and smooth of ns equation, stirred a big controversy in the international mathematics circles. 在2014年的时候,有一位哈萨克籍数学家奥特尔巴耶夫(otelbayev)宣称证明了ns方程的存在性与光滑性,在国际数学界引起了不小的争议。 Because this scholar may following year declare oneself proved Professor of Riemann hypothesis Enock the level is much higher, is a formal mathematician, forms a coherent whole to the operation of Journal contribution from the pre- printed book, therefore he not by brutally cold reception. 因为这位学者可比次年宣称自己证明了黎曼猜想的伊诺克教授水平高得多,算是一名正儿八经的数学家,从预印本到期刊投稿的操作一气呵成,所以他并没有受到无情的冷遇。 However, wants to give this scholar to review a draft is not easy. 然而,想要给这位学者审稿却并不容易。 Solves Perelman who Pang suspects, although is eccentric, but the paper good and evil with is English writes. But this Mr. Ottl Bayev does not seem to excel at English, what used is Russian writes, moreover is 90 pages, persuaded to quit directly a peer of large quantities of being interested. 解决庞家来猜想的佩雷尔曼虽然性格孤僻,但论文好歹用是英文写的。但这位奥特尔巴耶夫先生似乎不擅长英语,用的是俄语写作,而且篇幅长达90页,直接劝退了一大批感兴趣的同行。 Only speaks the Terence Tao of Cantonese and English cannot certainly understand Russian, but this does not hinder flamboyant of this talent. 只会粤语和英语的陶哲轩当然也看不懂俄语,不过这并不妨碍这位天才的牛逼。 According to the paper of Professor Ottl Bayev, Terence Tao first imitates his mentality, constructing one was similar to the ns equation structure, equation that but is different. If conclusion establishment of original proof, the example that then without a doubt, he constructs will also certainly have the overall smoothing solution. 根据奥特尔巴耶夫教授的论文,陶哲轩首先仿照他的思路,构造了一个跟ns方程结构相似,但有所不同的方程。如果原证明的结论成立,那么毫无疑问,他构造的例子也一定会存在整体光滑解。 More flamboyant matter happened. 紧接着,更牛逼的事情发生了。 He through establishing a special starting value, proved the smoothing solution of this/should starting value correspondence will lose the regularity in the finite time. This was equivalent found a counter-example, jumped over the proof process directly, logically denied the accuracy of this mentality. 他通过设置了一个特殊的初始值,证明了该初始值对应的光滑解会在有限时间内会失去正则性。这就相当于找到了一个反例,直接跳过了证明过程,从逻辑上否定了这条思路的正确性。 If the mentality is wrong, then does not have correctly or not problem. 如果思路本身就是错的,那么也不存在正确与否的问题了。 This conclusion was obtaining the approval of many partial differential equation domain scholar at that time . Moreover the fact also showed, his speculation is correct. 这一结论在当时得到了很多偏微分方程领域学者的认可,而且事实也证明,他的推测是正确的。 Soon, Russian mathematician Professor Grey of Gray Laking Oxford University completed the edit finally, when to Ottl Bayev's paper edit pointed out six mistakes, ended the dispute about this paper finally. 就在不久之后,牛津大学的俄国籍数学家格雷戈瑞・塞莱金教授终于完成了审稿,对奥特尔巴耶夫的论文审稿时指出了六处错误,最终结束了关于这篇论文的争议。 Naturally, realized that wrong Ottl Bayev, was also acknowledging the mistake finally frankly, but these were something to be talked about later. 当然,认识到错误的奥特尔巴耶夫本人,在最后也光明磊落地承认了错误,不过这些都是后话了。 In brief, in the ns equation domain, Professor Tao has the right to speak. 总而言之,在ns方程领域,陶教授还是相当有发言权的。 Moreover according to him sends the blog the custom, although he formal intellectual content will rarely place in the blog, the information that but he conveys through the blog, often underwent his confirmation. 而且根据他发博客的习惯,虽然他很少将正儿八经的学术内容放在博客上,但他通过博客传达出的信息,往往都是经过了他自己的验证。 Actually, not only Terence Tao gave the strong approval to this paper, big cow that studies the differential equation domain much, gave the neutral above view. 其实,不只是陶哲轩对这篇论文给出了高度评价,不少研究微分方程领域的大牛,也都给出了中立以上的看法。 For example Princeton University math department head Professor Fefferman, his viewpoint basically happens to hold the same view with Terence Tao, thinks that Lu Zhou in the method in the discussion process using, is more significant than the conclusion significance that his paper obtains. 比如普林斯顿大学数学系主任费弗曼教授,他的观点基本上与陶哲轩不谋而合,认为陆舟在论证过程中用到的方法,比他论文本身得出的结论意义更加重大。 No matter he century difficult problem whether „the existence and smooth of three dimensional incompressible viscous flow navier-stokes soluation of equation this posted a reward by Clay Institute in research, the mathematics method that he uses, will give the peer who studies this proposition to bring a big inspiration. 不管他是否在研究“三维不可压缩navier-stokes方程解的存在性和光滑性”这一被克雷研究所悬赏的世纪难题,他所运用的数学方法,都将给研究这一命题的同行带来不小的启发。 Previously, Lu Zhou changed to study material science and chemistry suddenly, the scholars of many mathematics circles expressed regretted, thinks it should not in the best age, divert the energy to other domains, but should focus on as far as possible, advances a higher level the domain that oneself excelled. 此前,陆舟忽然改去研究材料学、化学,不少数学界的学者都表示了惋惜,认为其不应该在最好的年龄,将精力分散到其它领域中去,而是应该尽可能地集中精力,将自己所擅长的领域推到更高的层次。 However after the Goldbach's conjecture, Lu Zhou quiet more than one year, has not published mathematical paper in a strict sense, many people suspected that this talent, had felt being weary about the math. 然而在哥德巴赫猜想之后,陆舟已经沉寂了一年多,都没有发表过一篇严格意义上的数学论文,以至于不少人都怀疑这位天才,是不是已经对数学感到了厌倦。 However now looks like, all rumors as if collapsed of itself. 不过现在看来,所有的传言似乎都不攻自破了。 This talent has not only given up the study in math. 这位天才不仅没有放弃在数学上的钻研。 Instead probably...... 反而像是…… In next big chess? 在下一盘“大棋”?
