普林斯顿大学图书馆的某间活动室里。Shoves open the gatehalf stepto rush, a Verafaceputon the tablejoyfully, is openingmouthwu wu the half of the day, finallysaidcompletewords.
推开门快步闯了进来,薇拉一脸欣喜地扑在了桌子上,张着嘴巴呜呜呜了半天,终于说出了一句完整的话来。„Heis studying the Riemann hypothesis!”
“他在研究黎曼猜想!”SitsMorinasimplyhas not raised the headbefore the deskbends over one's deskis calculating, because won't look up, onthis momentthisfellowface that she can still imagine is actually onehow„love-struck”expression.
坐在书桌前伏案演算着的莫丽娜根本没有抬头,因为就算是不抬头她也能想象的到,此刻这家伙脸上究竟是一幅怎样“花痴”的表情。„Thatpaper on arxiv? Ihad known, thishaswhatbigstartledmobs......”
“arxiv上的那篇论文吗?我已经知道了,这有什么好大惊小怪的……”Becauseratherjustknewthis point, the sense of urgency in Morinahearteven morewas intense.
倒不如说正因为知道了这一点,莫丽娜心中的紧迫感才愈发的强烈了。Bydifficult problem that personstares, has not let slip, even the nsequationandYangMillsequationtypewithfor the difficult problem of millenniumdifficult problemrank, stillpouredinhisfront.
被那个人盯上的难题,从来都没有失手过,即便是ns方程与杨米尔斯方程这种同为千禧难题级别的难题,也倒在了他的面前。Becauseeven ifbecomes the reason of leader, theseyearshehas rarely appeared and disappearedin the mathematics circles, variousacademic conferenceshave not participated, but the mathematics circleshas not forgottenabouthislegend.
即便是因为成为学术带头人的缘故,这些年来他已经很少出没在数学界,各种大大小小的学术会议都没有参加过,但数学界从来没有忘记关于他的传说。
Even today, in the campus in Princetonis also spreadingabouthis„myth”.
甚至于即便是今天,普林斯顿的校园中还流传着关于他的“神话”。Without a doubt, Lu Zhouis a powerfulopponent.
毫无疑问,陆舟是一位强大的对手。Shehad strivenseveral yearstimeforthissuspicion, ifwere toppedbyLu Zhoufinally, shedid not determine whether shewill collapse......
她已经为这个猜想奋斗了数年的时间,如果最后被陆舟拔得头筹,她不确定自己是否会崩溃掉……„Morina......”
“莫丽娜……”
A facestrangelooks atVera, Morinasomewhatblinksunclear, „how?”
一脸奇怪的看着薇拉,莫丽娜有些不明就里地眨了眨眼,“怎么了?”Verasmiledshylyasked: „Youthought that whichhehas studiedto?”
薇拉腼腆地笑了笑问:“你觉得他已经研究到哪一步了?”Looksonthatfaircheeksis flutteringtwoflushed the redcloud, Morinahas a headachesaid: „Do Iknow? Why didn't youdirectlyaskhim? Iremember that youhavehismailbox.”
看着那白皙的脸颊上飘着的两酡红云,莫丽娜头疼地说道:“我怎么会知道?你为什么不直接问他?我记得你是有他的邮箱的。”„I......”somewhatheld appreciativelymyindex fingerbashfully, Veraam blushingto dodge the line of sight of Morina, looked that tohungin the windowsillnearbyivy, „...... presentIcould not have been joined tohim.”
“我……”有些忸怩地把玩着自己的食指,薇拉红着脸躲闪开了莫丽娜的视线,看向了垂在窗沿边上的常青藤,“……现在的我还配不上他。”
It is not good!
不行了!
, Isooncould not bear!
啊啊啊,我快要受不了了!Both handssupported the table, Morinaonewere standing, both handsgraspedVera'sshoulder, stares the line of sight that sheis dodgingto sayearnestly.
双手撑着桌子,莫丽娜噌的一下站了起来,双手抱住薇拉的肩膀,盯着她躲闪的视线认真说道。„Listening, mydearMiss, althoughIknow that heisyouridolevenis the idealsweetheart, butyoumustbe clear,henowisouropponents! Isourenemies! Youmaynot be competentleave-”
“听着,我亲爱的普尤伊小姐,虽然我知道他是你的偶像甚至是理想情人,但你必须清楚,他现在是我们的对手!是我们的敌人!你可千万不能干出-”
The Morinawordsspoke ofhalf, was brokenbyVerawithout hesitation.莫丽娜的话才说到了一半,便被薇拉毫不犹豫的打断了。„Iwill not becomehisenemy!”
“我才不会成为他的敌人!”Inthatelklook, rarewas strengthenedto scatterconfusedly.
那麋鹿般的眼神中,罕见的被坚定驱散了迷茫。„...... Good, Ichange a view,”palmclappedon the forehead, Morinaracked brains the half of the day, finallyeyeonebright, hit a soundto refer tosaying,„youweren'tandhehave hadabout the agreement that Fieldsrewarded?”
“……好吧,我换个说法,”手掌拍在了额头上,莫丽娜苦思冥想了半天,最终眼睛一亮,打了个响指说道,“你不是和他有过关于菲尔兹奖的约定吗?”„!”
“!”Hearsthismatter, Verawas nervousimmediately.
一听到这件事情,薇拉的表情顿时紧张了起来。
The keencapturethisflash, the corners of the mouth of Morinaturned upwards a happy expression, patted the shoulder of little missto continueto say.
敏锐的捕捉到了这一瞬间,莫丽娜的嘴角翘起了一次笑意,拍了拍小姑娘的肩膀继续说道。„Okaycome on, ifwesolved the Riemann hypothesis, let aloneisFieldsrewards, wins10timesto have more than enough to spareFales'smedal.”
“好好加油吧,如果咱们解决了黎曼猜想,别说是菲尔茨奖,就是把菲尔斯的奖牌拿十次都绰绰有余。”Turned very quiet, Verapinched tightly the fistgently, mutteredlow voice the sentence.
屏住了呼吸,薇拉轻轻捏紧了拳头,小声喃喃自语了句。„IfIsolved the Riemann hypothesis...... heto noticeme.”
“如果我解决了黎曼猜想……他就会注意到我。”Gave the little miss an encouraginglook, Morinasaidwith the affirmativetone: „Right, not onlyhe, the entire worldwill noticeyou.”
给了小姑娘一个鼓励的眼神,莫丽娜用肯定的语气说道:“没错,不只是他,全世界都会注意到你。”Vera'sfacewas redder, lowers the headto stare atowntip of the toe, somewhatsmilesshyly.
薇拉的脸更红了,低下头盯着自己的脚尖,有些腼腆地笑了笑。„All, entire worldeven......”
“全,全世界就算了……”„Only thenheenough.”
“只有他就够了。”

……Regarding the hearsayrelativelydeficientmathematics circles, renowned the characterlikeLu Zhoustartsto study the Riemann hypothesis, naturallyis the news of no small matter. Interactsto exchange the websitefrom the mathoverflowmath, arrives at the campus in Princeton University, is studying the Riemann hypothesisaboutProfessorland the news, has almost becomeat present the most populartopic.
对于小道消息相对匮乏的数学界来说,像陆舟这样著名的人物开始研究黎曼猜想,自然是非同小可的消息。从mathoverflow数学互动交流网站,到普林斯顿大学的校园,关于陆教授正在研究黎曼猜想的消息,几乎已经成为了时下最热门的话题。Not only the studentscrave the discussion, the professorsare no exception.
不只是学生们热衷议论,教授们也不例外。Butlike this bigevent, naturallycannot escape the ear of mathematicaldepartment headProfessorFefferman.
而这样的大事件,自然是逃不过数学系主任费弗曼教授的耳朵。AlmostwhileVeratoldMorinathisnewspleasantly surprised, ProfessorFeffermanalsobrings the hittingmanuscript for printing of thatpaper, came to the office of ProfessorDeligne.
几乎就在薇拉惊喜地将这个消息告诉莫丽娜的同时,费弗曼教授同样带着那篇论文的打印稿,来到了德利涅教授的办公室。Whenhearrives in the office, Deligneis sittingbefore the desk, is calculatinganythingon the scratch paper.
当他抵达办公室的时候,德利涅正坐在书桌前,在草稿纸上计算着什么。Notices the entrancesound of footsteps, thisforeheadluminousold personlifts the eyelidslightly, takes a lookProfessorFeffermanin the handtakesthatpack of papers, then took back the line of sight, the expressionhad nosaying of fluctuating.
注意到门口的脚步声,这位脑门光亮的老人微微抬起眼皮,瞅了眼费弗曼教授手中拿着的那叠论文,然后便收回了视线,表情没什么起伏的说道。„WhatIguessinyourhandto takeisthatfellowhangsthatpre-printed bookonarxiv.”
“我猜你手上拿着的是那个家伙挂在arxiv上的那篇预印本。”„It seems likeyouhave looked,”ProfessorFeffermanmade a helplessexpression, the paper that will just printthrewinconvenientlyone side, „yournewsalso was never so expected that quick.”
“看来你已经看过了,”费弗曼教授做了个无奈的表情,将刚刚打印出来的论文随手扔在了一边,“没想到你的消息也这么灵通。”„Good and evilIwill acceptsomenewthings, at leastInternetthisthingI20years ago inusing......”to push the eyeglasses on bridge of the nose, ProfessorDelignemoves out of the wayfrom the scratch paper on table the line of sight, „do youlook formeforthismatter?”
“好歹我还是会接受一些新事物的,至少互联网这种东西我二十年前就在用了……”推了推鼻梁上的眼镜,德利涅教授将视线从桌上的草稿纸上挪开,“你来找我就是为了这事儿?”„What is thismatter?”ProfessorFeffermanmade an unbelievableexpression, cracks a joketo saywith the charmingtone,„youhaven't heardthatlegend? IfwhoprovedRiemann hypothesis, whobecomesimmortal- , is not only the immortality in abstractsignificance, butisin the practical significance.”
“什么叫就是这事儿?”费弗曼教授做了个难以置信的表情,用风趣的口吻开了个玩笑道,“你难道没有听说过那个传说吗?如果谁证明了黎曼猜想,谁就将成为不朽-不仅是抽象意义上的不朽,而是实际意义上的。”Thislegendcame frombeforefor a long time is very very long, probablywas19century's endstime, FrenchmathematicianhadamardandBelgianmathematicianpoussinobtainedrespectivelyfrom the Riemann hypothesisis proposed the firstsubstantial progressmore than 30 years, thentwopeoplelivedrespectively98years old and96 years old.
这个传说来自于很久很久以前了,大概是十九世纪末的时候,法国数学家hadamard和比利时数学家poussin分别取得了自黎曼猜想被提出30多年以来的第一个实质性进展,然后两个人分别活到了98岁和96岁。Inthatmedical conditiondoes not calculate that the richagecanlive a abouthundred -year-old advanced age, is the quiteastonishingmatter. Therefore a viewwas also spreadwas very long, whothat is canprove the Riemann hypothesis, whocanimmortal in physics significance.
在那个医疗条件不算丰富的年代能活到将近百岁的高龄,已经是相当惊人的事情了。因此也有一种说法被流传了很久,那便是谁能证明黎曼猜想,谁就能物理意义上的永垂不朽。Naturally, thisis only a joke, moreoverhad been teasednearly a century.
当然了,这只是一个玩笑而已,而且已经被调侃了快一个世纪了。Heardthisoutmodedjoke, Delignewith the nosesnort/humtwo, shot a look at the corners of the mouthto say.
听到这个老掉牙的笑话,德利涅用鼻子哼了两声,瞥了瞥嘴角说道。„...... Thiswasseveral hundredyears ago oldstems, believestosomepresentalsopeople. Proved the contribution of bohrandlanda of bohr-landautheoremmaybe much bigger than hadamard, ifIhave not remembered incorrectlytwoperson over 60years old dead.”
“……这都是几百年前的老梗了,到现在还有人相信。证明了bohr-landau定理的bohr和landa的贡献可比hadamard大得多,如果我没记错两个人六十多岁就死了。”„Good, it seems likeGodwill not care for everyone,”FeffermanProfessorwarmErwensmiles, the peakunder the shouldercontinued saying that „did not discussregardlessthesestrangelegends, youdid not thinkhispaperis very interesting?”
“好吧,看来上帝不会眷顾每一个人,”费弗曼教授温尔文雅地笑了笑,耸了下肩膀继续说道,“抛开这些古怪的传说不谈,你不觉得他的论文很有意思吗?”ProfessorDeligne: „Before the officialproofpapercomes out, Irefuseto express the opinion.”德利涅教授:“在正式的证明论文出来之前,我拒绝发表意见。”ProfessorFeffermansmiles saying that „Ido not wantto inquirewhetheryoufavorhim, Iam onlysomewhatcurioushe from Pi( x )function that in the papermentionedstartto solveRiemannzetafunctiontheviewpoint. Itriedto studyaccording tohismentality, buthad not discovered that whatinterestingclue...... Iwas very curious, youthought how hewill solvethismethod?”
费弗曼教授笑了笑说道,“我并不是想询问你是否看好他,我只是有些好奇他在论文中提到的从π(x)函数入手解决黎曼zeta函数的这个观点。我试着照着他的思路研究了下,但并没有发现什么有意思的线索……我很好奇,你觉得他会如何解决这个方法?”ProfessorFefferman: „Youthought how hewill do?”
费弗曼教授:“你觉得他会怎么做?”ProfessorDeligneglancedhisoneeyes: „Youandhehad had the cooperationin the nsequation, haven't youunderstoodhim?”德利涅教授瞟了他一眼:“你和他曾经在ns方程上有过合作,你还不了解他吗?”ProfessorFeffermanmade a helplessexpression: „In factIknowrarelyabouthim, in the lifeworkshewas used tocoming and going freely.”
费弗曼教授做了个无奈的表情:“事实上我对他了解很少,无论是生活中还是工作中他都习惯了独来独往。”
After hearingthese words, ProfessorDelignehesitated the moment.
听到这句话之后,德利涅教授沉吟了片刻。Fell into the recollectionprobably, crossing for fiveminuteswas so long, hesaysslowly.
大概是陷入了回忆,过了五分钟那么久,他才缓缓开口说道。„Riemann hypothesisnotthatissue that found the direction to solve, in factmaysolvethisproblem the researchmentalityIat least to say over ten, butso fardoes not have a researchapproachto makemesee the hopetruly. Pi( x )functionis a quitenovelmentality, butalso can only say that is90%new, youknow that beforenotno onesuchtrial.”
“黎曼猜想并不是那种找到方向就能解决的问题,事实上有可能解决这个问题的研究思路我至少能说出十个以上,但目前为止没有一条研究思路真正让我看到希望。π(x)函数算是一个比较新颖的思路,但也只能说是90%新,你知道的,以前并不是没有人这么试过。”ProfessorFeffermannods.
费弗曼教授点了点头。Hetruly the first time is notheardsomepeopleto trythisdirection, evenindownstairscoffeerestaurant, hehas then exchangedsimilaridea.
他确实不是第一次听到有人尝试这个方向,甚至就在楼下的咖啡餐厅,他便与人交流过类似的想法。„Heis a scholar who is good atutilizing the tool, is a scholar who is good atcreating the tool. No matterhewhethercanharvestfromPi( x )function, Ibelieve that hecan certainlyfind an appropriatetoolto solvethisproblemforus.”
“他是一个擅长运用工具的学者,同时也是一个擅长创造工具的学者。不管他是否能从π(x)函数中有所收获,我相信他都一定能替我们找到一个合适的工具来解决这个问题。”ProfessorFefferman: „Groupconstructionlaw?”
费弗曼教授:“群构法?”„Is uncertain,”on the face of ProfessorDeligneshowed a smiling facerarely, „howto sayagainthis was also puzzled bydifficult problems of mathematics circles -and-a-half centuries, perhapshewill customize a newmethodforit, butthismethodwill helpwebetterunderstandingandutilizesRiemannzetafunction.”
“不一定,”德利涅教授的脸上罕见地露出了一丝笑容,“再怎么说这也是困扰了数学界一个半世纪的难题,或许他会为它量身定做一个新的方法,而这个方法将帮助我们更好的理解并运用黎曼zeta函数。”
, Hecontinuedto say.
顿了顿,他继续说道。„Next yearInternational Mathematics Congress, it seems likecanwellunder the anticipation.”
“明年的国际数学家大会,看来可以好好期待下了。”ProfessorFeffermanshrugs saying: „Hemay notcome.”
费弗曼教授耸了耸肩说道:“他都不一定会来。”Deligneshakes the head.德利涅摇了摇头。„Believesme, hewill certainly come.”
“相信我,他一定会来。”
