Since these days, Lu Zhou has been busy with the matter that the superconducting material research and students graduate. 这段时间以来,陆舟一直在忙于超导材料研究和学生们毕业的事情。 Although to the progress of paper and Riemann hypothesis of Sir Attia set the label of attention, but the public lecture of Heidelberg prize-winner forum he does not have the time to pay attention, in addition sudden rewards the telephone, made him completely doing to forget this matter. 虽然对阿提亚爵士的论文和黎曼猜想的进展设置了关注的标签,但海德堡获奖者论坛的报告会他却并没有时间去留意,再加上突如其来的诺奖电话,以至于让他完全把这件事给搞忘了。 Until recently, he received " Math Yearly journal » treaty draft invitation suddenly. 直到最近,他忽然收到了《数学年刊》的约稿邀请。 Editor-in-chief Professor Peter Sagnak hopes that he can for the paper of Sir Attia, write a commentary of over 500 word, Lu Zhou does not think some time ago in the news that the mathematics circles created a stir. 主编彼得・萨纳克教授希望他能为阿提亚爵士的论文,写一篇不超过五百个单词的短评,陆舟才想起来这件不久前在数学界轰动一时的新闻。 In the morning, came to the office, Hardy took several a4 papers to walk. 清晨,来到了办公室,哈迪拿着几张a4纸走了过来。 „Professor, the paper that you want I have helped you print.” “教授,您要的论文我已经帮你打印好了。” Received the paper of Sir Attia from the hand of Hardy, Lu Zhou gawked slightly , the doubt looked at Hardy one. 从哈迪的手中接过了阿提亚爵士的论文,陆舟微微愣了下,狐疑地看了哈迪一眼。 „Only then these?” “只有这些？” „Yes, Professor,” Hardy nods, „I believe firmly, only then these.” “是的,教授,”哈迪点头,“我确信只有这些。” Paper altogether five pages of papers, the quotation literature only has three. The 3 rd section and 4 th section have small mistake on a typesetting, but the issue is not big. 论文一共五页纸,引用文献只有三条。第三小节和第四小节存在一点排版上的小错误,但问题不大。 If by the level request of doctoral thesis, this paper definitely has no way to pass through, but regarding the big cow of academic circle, everyone is quite tolerant. 如果以博士论文的水准要求,这篇论文肯定是没法过关的,但对于学术界的大牛而言,大家都比较宽容。 For example Wyles proved initially Fermat big theorem time, even added on „preface” in front of abstract, with a paragraph of not short writing told that Fermat big theorem and own childhood, everyone saw also smiles. 比如怀尔斯当初证明费马大定理的时候,在摘要的前面甚至加上了“序言”,用一段不短的文字来讲述费马大定理和自己的童年,大家看到了也只是会心一笑。 Sir Attia also has certainly the willful qualifications, after all he is Fields rewards the winner who and Abbel rewards, regarding the research of Attia Singer index theorem was one of the 20 th century most important several math achievements. 阿提亚爵士当然也有任性的资格,毕竟他是菲尔茨奖与阿贝尔奖的得主,对于阿蒂亚-辛格指标定理的研究更是二十世纪最重要的几个数学成果之一。 However these are not the key points. 然而这些都不是重点。 Can the mathematics circles which glory, because a person had achieved or the achievements, but blindly believes a person. 数学界会不会因为一个人曾经取得过哪些荣耀或者成就,而盲目地去相信一个人。 Is Professor Sagnak sends in stemming from the treaty draft invitation, stemming from a respect to scholar of noble character and high prestige, even if no many hopes, Lu Zhou still sits down on the office chair, did not have any subjective color to take the paper of this five pages of papers to look. 出于约稿邀请是萨纳克教授发来的,也是出于对一名德高望重的学者的尊重,即便不抱多少希望,陆舟依然在办公椅上坐下,不带任何主观色彩地拿着这篇五页纸的论文看了起来。 However, more looks downward, his brow is tight pressed. 然而,越是往下看去,他的眉头便越是紧蹙。 Such that just like Sir Attia previously declared, he used a very simple method „to solve” this problem. 正如阿提亚爵士此前宣称的那样,他用了一个很简单的方法“解决”了这个问题。 Really, this declaration, often is far-fetched...... 果然,这种宣称,往往都是不靠谱的…… Read from beginning to end the paper, the proof line of Lu Zhou to entire chapter paper has a preliminary understanding. 将论文从头到尾看了一遍,陆舟对整篇论文的证明思路已经有了一个初步的了解。 Simple, Sir Attia introduced his homemade weakness to analyze the todd function in the proof, and with fine structure constant connection in method of supposition this todd function and Physics in one. 简单的来讲,阿提亚爵士在证明中引入了一个他自创的弱解析todd函数,并且用假设的方法将这个todd函数和物理学中的精细结构常量关联在了一起。 Most show in the paper specifically is actually not he has not described this todd function is anything, with the relations of Riemann zeta function in, but was he uses the reduction to absurdity in the discussion process. 最骚的不是他没有在论文中具体描述这个todd函数究竟是什么,和黎曼zeta函数的关系在哪,而是他在论证过程中用上了反证法。 Yes, he used the reduction to absurdity unexpectedly. 是的,他竟然用了反证法。 Namely, if the Riemann hypothesis is wrong, then „my theory” is contradictory. 即,如果黎曼猜想是错的,那么“我的理论”就是矛盾的。 Because my theory possibly is not contradictory, therefore Riemann hypothesis certain is right...... 因为我的理论不可能是矛盾的,所以黎曼猜想一定是对的…… Sees here, actually has been able to draw a conclusion. 看到这里,其实已经可以下结论了。 Although is very regrettable, but looking back now, oneself had a premonition at first seems like right. 虽然很遗憾,但现在看来,自己最初预感似乎是对的。 Looks at the expression on Lu Zhou face is not quite as if right, Hardy asked in side: „Professor paper, what do you feel?” 看着陆舟脸上的表情似乎不太对劲,哈迪在旁边问道:“教授这篇论文,您感觉怎么样？” After hearing these words, Lu Zhou smiles suddenly, put the paper one side. 听到这句话之后,陆舟忽然笑了笑,将论文放到了一边。 „You are also the theory of numbers direction, don't you have a point your opinion?” “你也是数论方向的,你就没一点自己的主见吗？” „The domain that Hardy embarrassed flexure the back of the head, I studied is not Riemann zeta function...... speaks the truth, the paper of Sir Attia was really abstruse, inside used the nouns on some Physics probably.” 哈迪不好意思的挠了挠后脑勺,“我研究的领域并不是黎曼zeta函数……说实话,阿提亚爵士的论文实在是太深奥了,里面好像用到了一些物理学上的名词。” Lu Zhou: „Right, Sir Attia used the nouns on some Physics. I listened to say with Professor Witten who he knows well, Sir Attia seems like Physics this domain that in recent years enters, moreover his physical intuition really woulds not venture to give positive comments on. As for this paper, the popular point said that he constructed one to analyze the todd function in the paper weakly, and unified this function and a Physics concept on.” 陆舟:“没错,阿提亚爵士用到了一些物理学上的名词。我曾经听与他熟识的威滕教授说过,阿提亚爵士似乎是最近几年才进入的物理学这个领域,而且他的物理直觉实在不敢恭维。至于这篇论文,通俗点讲,他在论文中构造了一个弱解析todd函数,并且将这个函数和一个物理学上的概念结合到了一起。” „What issue that does analyze the todd function to have weakly?” Hardy cannot bear ask. “那个弱解析todd函数有什么问题吗？”哈迪忍不住问道。 Lu Zhou: „Whether analyzes the todd function existing problem still to be discussed weakly...... because about this function, the information that can retrieve was really few, I did not have the means to judge. In his paper biggest problem, lay in introducing the fine-structure constant in Physics.” 陆舟:“弱解析todd函数本身是否存在问题还有待商榷……因为关于这个函数,能够检索到的信息实在是太少了,我也没有办法判断。他论文中最大的问题,还是在于引入了物理学中的精细结构常数。” Hardy: „...... Fine-structure constant?” 哈迪:“……精细结构常数？” „Un,” Lu Zhou nods , to continue saying that „this is in Physics the important non-dimensional number, symbol A, common in quantum electrodynamics.” “嗯,”陆舟点了点头,继续说道,“这是一个物理学中重要的无量纲数,符号a,常见于量子电动力学。” This is in Physics very important concept, it was usually used to measure the function intensity of the charged particle and electromagnetic field. 这是一个物理学中很重要的概念,它通常被用来度量带电粒子与电磁场的作用强度。 Quite interesting is, Physics spent time of more than century, tries to infer a value from the Physics angle, then for it „compiling” a mathematical formula. 比较有意思是,物理学家们花了一个多世纪的时间,试图从物理学的角度推导出a值,然后再为它“编造”一条数学公式。 But is very regrettable, no one has succeeded, most people gave up. 但很遗憾,至今没有人成功过,以至于大多数人都放弃了。 However in the paper of Sir Attia, is actually very rash brought this concept with directly, and basis that presented argument as. 然而阿提亚爵士的这篇论文中,却是很轻率的将这个概念直接拿来用了,并且作为自己立论的根本。 Although is not willing saying that person but who does this kind of matter frequently, mostly is Professor Enock that kind of people branch...... 虽然很不愿这么说,但经常干这类事情的人,多半是伊诺克教授那类民科…… Hardy regrettable saying: „......, if were said by you, Sir Attia keeps integrity in later years.” 哈迪遗憾的说道:“……如果被你说中了,那阿提亚爵士岂不是晚节不保。” „That,” Lu Zhou will not shake the head, „even he is wrong, his courage is still laudable.” “那倒不会,”陆舟摇了摇头,“即便他是错的,他的勇气依然是值得赞赏的。” In the academic circle, „honest mistake” and „academic fabrication” has difference essentially. 在学术界,“诚实的错误”和“学术造假”存在着本质上的不同。 Einstein also once declared in the old age repeatedly, oneself found the method of unified field theory, even is calculating before that moment just before the end...... even to that time, everyone has no longer believed his computation, but calmly accompanied him to arrive finally. 爱因斯坦在晚年也曾多次宣称,自己找到了统一场论的方法,甚至直到临终前的那一刻都在计算着……即便到了那时,大家已经不再相信他的计算,只是静静地陪着他走到了最后。 In any event, close to 90-year-old advanced age, but can also be engaged in the research work, suitable is not easy. 无论如何,接近90岁的高龄,还能从事研究工作,已经相当的不容易了。 Can bet this honor, puts out to challenge the courage of Mount Everest, is commendable. 能赌上自己这一身的荣誉,拿出挑战珠峰的勇气,更是难能可贵。 In brief, is his previous those words, the elderly man happily good...... 总之,还是他先前的那句话,老人家开心就好…… ...... …… The «Math Yearly journal» treaty draft, Lu Zhou deliberately considered, the expression wrote a reply finally politely, takes studying very busily as the reason, turned down Professor's Peter Sagnak treaty draft invitation tactfully. 《数学年刊》的约稿,陆舟寻思了一下,最后还是措辞礼貌地写了一封回信,以研究很忙为理由,委婉地推掉了彼得・萨纳克教授的约稿邀请。 Is obscurely difficult to understand with Shinichi Mochizuki that and long complex paper is different, when everyone was not clear that he to the incorrect time, any person of understanding has the duty to stand to identify. 和望月新一那篇晦涩难懂且冗长复杂的论文不同,当所有人都不清楚他对不对的时候,任何看懂的人都有义务站出来指证。 However the problem that in the paper of Sir Attia has is actually very obvious, even cannot use specially profound mathematical knowledge, then can view issue. 然而阿提亚爵士的论文中存在的问题却是很明显,甚至用不到特别高深的数学知识,便能看得出来其中的问题。 Even his anything did not say, everyone was also actually clear. 即便他什么也不说,大家心里其实也都清楚。 But this singing black face matter, gives Venerable Faltings to do. 但这种唱黑脸的事情,还是交给法尔廷斯老先生去做吧。 In any case Venerable Faltings that to anyone is „unkind”, is becomes famous in the mathematics circles that the face does not give, everyone will listen not to think that strange, will not feel to lose face. 反正法尔廷斯老先生那对谁都是一点面子不给的“刻薄”,在数学界也算是出了名,大家听了也不会觉得有多奇怪,更不会觉得丢了面子。 However makes 25-year-old young people do this matter...... 但是让一个25岁的年轻人去干这种事情…… Really some too did not care about the feeling of elderly man. 实在有些太不顾及老人家的感受了。 After finishing this reply, Lu Zhou somewhat understood suddenly, why obviously is a serious matter, in Institute for Advanced Study no one discussed very much tacitly. 在写完了这封回信之后,陆舟忽然有些理解了,为什么明明是一件如此重大的事情,普林斯顿高等研究院里却很默契地没有任何人讨论。 After all, anybody had senile that day, anybody also needed the dignity and dignity...... 毕竟,任何人都有衰老的那一天,任何人也都需要体面和尊严…… Especially regarding an honourable scholar. 尤其是对于一位值得尊敬的学者。 Moreover, although the media like exaggerating the fact with some eye-catching things, is willing to believe that years about 90 Sir Attia thes old diamond still cuts sharp...... 另外,虽然媒体喜欢用一些吸引人眼球的东西来夸大事实,也更愿意相信年近90的阿提亚爵士宝刀未老…… But is very regrettable, the math only pursues the truth, will not have compromised to the public opinion. 但很遗憾,数学只追寻真理,不会也不曾向舆论妥协。
