After Vera's public lecture ended, not only caused the warm reaction at the congress, aroused International Mathematics Congress the interest of media. 薇拉的报告会结束之后,不只是在大会上引起了热烈的反响,更是引起了国际数学家大会现场的媒体们的关注。 For a long time, the mathematics circles has been considered as the masculine domain, few females can this/should domain make the prominent achievement. But this also means that the impact that any achievement has will be enlarged. 长久以来,数学界一直被认为是男性的领域,很少有女性能该领域做出突出的成果。而这也就意味着,任何成果所带来的影响都会被放大。 Let alone, as once the numbers game that was fashionable for a time in North America, the difficulty of Collatz conjecture this proposition is not low. 更何况,作为曾在北美风靡一时的数字游戏,角谷猜想这一命题的难度本身就不低。 However what made the media regret, this young female mathematician as if did not like being interviewed, or some fear that types by camera to feeling. 然而令媒体们遗憾的是,这位年轻的女数学家似乎并不喜欢被采访,或者说有些恐惧那种被摄像头对着的感觉。 However is good because, although cannot interview Vera, but her teacher is quite good to speak. 不过好在,虽然没能采访到薇拉本人,但她的导师还是比较好说话的。 The public lecture ended later third day, is the International Mathematics Congress fourth day. 报告会结束之后的第三天,也就是国际数学家大会的第四天。 the reporter and Lu Zhou of bbc scientific column booked time, conducted a brief interview in the cafe near Barra Da Tijuca hotel. bbc科学栏目的记者与陆舟预约了一个时间,在巴拉达蒂茹卡酒店附近的咖啡馆进行了一个简短的采访。 Reporter bbc: „...... We know, two public lectures are you are related, the proof of Collatz conjecture is the report that is completed by your student Miss Vera Pu. Excuse me, how do you appraise your student?” bbc记者:“……我们都知道,有两场报告会是和您有关的,其中角谷猜想的证明是由您的学生薇拉・普尤伊小姐完成的报告。请问,您如何评价您的学生？” Lu Zhou: „Vera is a very outstanding student, including her another two collaborator Qin Yue and Hardy, the talent in theory of numbers was also quite outstanding. I think that the sex is not one needs by the transition matter of concern, in scholar who I know, there are very outstanding female.” 陆舟:“薇拉是一名很出色的学生,包括她的另外两名合作者秦岳和哈迪,在数论方面的天赋也相当优秀。我认为性别并不是一个需要被过渡关注的问题,在我认识的学者之中,也有很出色的女性。” Reporter bbc: „Heard her, when studies Collatz conjecture to be under your instruction, many people think that this suspicion is you are actually solved, how do you regard these opinions or to pass on a message?” bbc记者:“听说她在研究角谷猜想的时候得到过您的指导,不少人认为这个猜想其实是您解决的,请问您如何看待这些言论或者说传言？” Lu Zhou smiles: „I provide is solves the problem merely the mentality, as well as conducts the instruction in method to them, but the entire proof is they are truly completed, this without a doubt. Moreover, the fact showed, the group construction law also truly is an outstanding theory of numbers method, can be used to solve the problem in many additive theory of numbers.” 陆舟笑了笑:“我所提供的仅仅是解决问题的思路,以及对他们进行方法上的指导,而整个证明确实是他们自己完成的,这点毋庸置疑。而且,事实证明,群构法也确实是一门优秀的数论方法,可以被用于解决很多加性数论方面的问题。” Reporter: „Then about group construction law, which problem do you most favor it to be used to solve? Which domain proposition or studies?” 记者:“那么关于群构法,请问您最看好它被用来解决哪一个问题？或者说,研究哪一个领域的命题？” Lu Zhou said: „Really wanted me to say? Actually I felt, even if I did not say, my peers can still look probably.” 陆舟笑着说:“真的要我说吗？其实我觉得就算我不说,我的同行们大概也能看出来吧。” The reporter purses the lips to smile: „You said that under attendance our these laymen.” 记者抿嘴笑了笑:“您还是说一下吧,照顾下我们这些外行。” Lu Zhou thinks, briefly replied: „Waring's problem.” 陆舟想了想,简短地回答道:“华林问题。” In many additive theory of numbers issues, Waring's problem can be said as one of the classical propositions. 在诸多加性数论问题中,华林问题可以说是其中的经典命题之一。 This proposition originated from «Meditationes Algebraicae» that in 1770 Waring published, Edward in work Waring oneself suspected, regarding each non- 1 positive integer k, all had positive integer g ( k ), making each positive integer be able be expressed as at most the and of g ( k ) k power of exponent number. 这一命题最早源于1770年华林发表的《代数沉思录》,在著作中爱德华・华林本人猜想,对于每个非一的正整数k,皆存在正整数g(k),使得每个正整数都可以表示为至多g(k)个k次方数之和。 As classical issue in the additive theory of numbers, the person who is engaged in this issue research is not infrequent. 作为加性数论中的经典问题,从事这一问题研究的人不在少数。 And the g ( k ) existence had been shown with the complex method by Hilbert, the g ( 2 ) = 4 situation is four sum of squares theorems, was being shown by the 18 th century Lagrange. 其中g(k)的存在性已经被希尔伯特用复杂的方法证明,g(2)=4的情形就是四平方和定理,早在由十八世纪拉格朗日证明。 In the researcher, Wieferich, Balasubramanian and Chen Jingrun proved g ( 3 ), g ( 4 ) and g ( 5 ) situation afterward respectively. 在后来研究者中,韦伊费列治、巴拉苏布拉玛尼安、陈景润分别证明了g(3)、g(4)、g(5)的情况。 If must ask that which problem Lu Zhou most favors is used to solve, then without a doubt is Waring's problem. 如果要问陆舟最看好被用于解决哪一个问题,那么毫无疑问是华林问题。 „That also is really surprising......” reporter looks at Lu Zhou surprisedly, although she is not the academic circle person, the reporter but who makes the scientific column after all, has in the position of the world of mathematics to this issue hear. “那还真是令人惊讶……”记者惊讶地看着陆舟,虽然她并不是学术界的人,但毕竟是做科学栏目的记者,对这一问题在数学领域的地位还是有所耳闻的。 Stopped a moment later, Reporter bbc continues to ask: „, About your another public lecture, we knows that you had proven the solution of ns equation is to exist, the academic circle also universally approved your proof......, but if, I mean assuming, this proposition had not been shown, but was attested to falsity, what can produce to affect to our life?” 停顿了片刻之后,bbc记者继续问道:“那么,关于您的另一场报告会,我们都知道您已经证明了ns方程的解是存在的,学术界也普遍认可了您的证明……但如果,我是说假设,这个命题没有被证明,而是被证伪了,对我们的生活会产生什么影响吗？” Ten fingers on knee overlapping, smiles by Lu Zhou in chair, said with the tone with ease: „If actually this proposition were attested to falsity, the significance will be instead bigger. Taking smooth for instance, if we discovered that in some special time point, our equations are no longer smooth, this possibly means us, not only solved an unresolved mathematical difficult problem, means that we discovered the new physics.” 十指在膝盖上交叉,靠在椅子上的陆舟笑了笑,用轻松地口吻说道:“其实如果这个命题被证伪,意义反而会更大。以光滑性为例,如果我们发现在某一个特殊的时间点上,我们的方程不再光滑,这可能意味着我们不只是解决了一个悬而未决的数学难题,更意味着我们发现了新的物理。” Reporter: „Do you feel sorry?” 记者:“那您有没有觉得遗憾？” Lu Zhou sighed: „Very regrettable...... actually when cooperates with Professor Fefferman studies this topic, we once think oneself discovered this special time point, finally showed very much regrettably that is only an misconception.” 陆舟叹了口气:“是挺遗憾的……其实在与费弗曼教授合作研究这个课题的时候,我们一度以为自己发现了这个特殊的时间点,结果很遗憾证明那只是个错觉。” „Is what makes you discover?” “是什么让你发现的？” „When the lakeside jogs,...... Lu Zhou looked around as for a more concrete mentality”, inquired, „here did have the blackboard? If any, I can under actually the detail this issue.” “在湖边慢跑的时候,至于更具体的思路……”陆舟四处看了下,询问道,“这里有黑板吗？如果有的话,我倒是可以详细说明下这个问题。” The reporter perspiration said: „This...... does not need.” 记者汗道:“这……就不必了吧。” The related report after the interview finished the second day then put, passed through the editing of bbc scientific column, alternated fragment in the public lecture, pouring was also the interview the original condition returned to original state. 相关的报道在采访结束后的第二天便放出来了,经过了bbc科学栏目的剪辑,穿插了一些报告会上的片段,倒也算是把采访的的原貌还原了出来。 Lu Zhou after on YouTube has looked at the news video, while convenient looked at the commentary area. 陆舟在油土鳖上看过了新闻视频之后,顺便看了眼评论区。 However it is a pity that the foreign netizens and study tyrant two kinds thing do not seem interested in the math very much, focus completely on Vera's body. 然而遗憾的是,外国网友们对数学和学霸这两样东西似乎并不是很感兴趣,关注的焦点全部都在薇拉的身上。 But attains to approve the highest several commentaries, transliterating basically is „little elder sister is also quite attractive!”, „To organize to go to Ukrainian traveling” and „to have the boyfriend?”, „To look for the girlfriend?” And so on content. 而获赞最高的几条评论,意译过来也基本上都是“小姐姐好漂亮！”、“想组团去乌克兰旅游”、“有男朋友吗？”、“想找女朋友吗？”之类的内容。 He acknowledged, is overcoming the weakness in heart diligently, stands is Vera of report truly to look on the stage bravely somewhat dazzlingly. But is worth the paid attention place truly, not on these bored things. 他承认,努力克服着心中的软弱,站在台上勇敢地做着报告的薇拉确实看着有些耀眼。但真正值得被关注的地方,根本就不在这些无聊的东西上。 Really was too superficial! 实在是太肤浅了！ Shakes the head, Lu Zhou closed the video, was disregarded this matter regarding oneself by outside net netizens unexpectedly, does not want to speak...... 摇了摇头,陆舟关闭了视频,对于自己竟然被外网网友们无视了这件事情,不想说话…… ...... …… The core of International Mathematics Congress in the academic exchanges, truly emerged many splendid papers and reports during the congress. From various significances, in this congress Lu Zhou can be said as the harvest being many. 国际数学家大会的核心还是在学术交流上,在大会期间也确实涌现了不少精彩的论文和报告。从各种意义上而言,这次大会中陆舟都可以说是收获颇丰。 In passed the every day in the academic exchanges enriching, the nine-day International Mathematics Congress, drew to a close in singing and dancing sound of one group of South American artists finally. 在学术交流中充实的度过了每一天,为期九天的国际数学家大会,终于在一群南美艺术家们的载歌载舞声中落下了帷幕。 After the closing ceremony ended, congress logo outside Barra Da Tijuca hotel removes, the scholar from the world took the flight of return trip one after another. 闭幕式结束之后,巴拉达蒂茹卡酒店外的大会logo撤下,来自全球各地的学者陆续坐上了返程的航班。 What is worth mentioning is, finally Bill Carl had not found the medal that he loses. 值得一提的是,最终比尔卡尔还是没有找到他遗失的奖牌。 However the organizer held a special award presentation ceremony very much naturally, made up the medal of discarding for him , has not made this congress be the irreparable regret. 不过主办方很大方地举行了一个特殊的颁奖仪式,为他补上了丢掉的奖牌,也算是没有让这次大会留下无法弥补的遗憾。 „...... The public security in Rio is disappointing, even the people in attendance's bitter experience on the beach rob, without a doubt, this absolutely is in history the most worst icm congress. Before had not had Fields to reward robbed matter, moreover unexpectedly in award presentation ceremony just-concluded a half hour.” Sits on the airplane of return trip, Professor Fefferman shakes the head to say. “……里约的治安令人失望,甚至还有与会者在海滩上遭遇抢劫,毫无疑问,这绝对是史上最糟糕的一届icm大会。以前从来没有发生过菲尔茨奖被盗的事情,而且竟然就在颁奖仪式刚刚结束的半小时内。”坐在返程的飞机上,费弗曼教授摇头说道。 The South American mathematics circles outshines others in power system direction, is headed by Brazil, but this is also this mathematical congress chooses in one of the reasons in Rio de Janeiro. 南美数学界在动力系统这一方向上一枝独秀,其中以巴西为首,而这也是本次数学大会选择在里约热内卢举行的原因之一。 Although International Mathematical Union previously also worried regarding the security situation in Rio de Janeiro, but has not thought that unexpectedly so serious, has not thought that will have so awkward matter. 虽然国际数学家联盟此前对于里约热内卢的治安状况也有所顾虑,但没想到竟然会如此的严重,更没想到会发生如此尴尬的事情。 Especially attitude that the Rio de Janeiro local police is perfunctory, is disappointing. 尤其是里约热内卢当地警方敷衍的态度,更是让人失望透顶。 If not because at the congress these fascinating reports, this icm congress can only describe with bad...... 如果不是因为大会上那些出色的报告,这一届的icm大会只能用糟糕来形容…… Lu Zhou said: „Why doesn't go to the capital to conduct? I can guarantee, even turned the sod three chi (0.33 m), the medal of losing is still found.” 陆舟笑着说:“为什么不来上京举办？我敢保证,就算是挖地三尺,遗失的奖牌也会被找到。” Naturally, Lu Zhou felt, a bigger possibility is the thief has not intended to stare, just put out a hand to be killed. 当然,陆舟觉得,更大的可能性是小偷还没出手就被盯上,刚一伸手就被干掉了。 Stayed outside was so long, besides these relatives and friends, most made is the domestic security situation that he fondly remembered. 在外面待了这么久,除了那些亲朋好友之外,最令他怀念的便是国内的治安环境了。 Professor Fefferman smiles. 费弗曼教授笑了笑。 „This is a great idea, moreover I believe, in the future will certainly have this opportunity!” “这是个好主意,而且我相信,未来一定有这个机会！”
