Regarding the Eight Trigrams (gossip)deficientmathematics circles, any research developmentaboutRiemann hypothesis, will be discussed the period of timeanimatedly.
对于八卦匮乏的数学界来说,任何关于黎曼猜想的研究进展,都会被人们津津乐道地谈论好一阵子。ThisregardingmathematicalSacred placeLos AngelesUniversityBerkeleyBranch schoolMath department of West coast, is no exceptionsimilarly.
这对于西海岸的数学圣地洛杉矶大学伯克利分校数学系而言,同样也不例外。Hangs up the arxivearliest possible timeinProfessorland the pre-printed book of thatpaper, about the would-beRiemann hypothesiswas shown the newsthenflieseverywhereis, looks for a cafeto sitcasually, canhearsomepeopleto discussexcitedlydifficult problem that thiscontinued a century.
早在陆教授的那篇论文的预印本挂上arxiv的第一时间,关于准黎曼猜想被证明消息便飞得到处都是,随便找一间咖啡厅坐着,都能听见有人在兴奋地讨论着这个延续了一个世纪的难题。„Did youhear? The would-beRiemann hypothesiswas proven!”
“你听说了吗?准黎曼猜想被证明了!”„Had only heard, was too unbelievable, for a century no onecan the right sideboundary of criticalbelt/bringtranslatetoward left, even ifa wee bit!”
“刚刚听说过了,太难以置信了,一个世纪以来都没有人能将临界带的右侧边界向左平移哪怕一丁点!”„The researchaboutthisdirectiondirectlycaused the proof of prime number theoremprevioustime, does not know that thislandfacultybringsanythingtoustime.”
“上一次关于这个方向的研究直接导致了素数定理的证明,不知道这一次陆教授会给我们带来什么。”„Yeah, ifIcanhaveProfessorlandhalf ofintelligence quotientsto be good.”
“哎,要是我能有陆教授一半的智商就好了。”„Awakes, do not have a dream!”
“醒醒,别做梦了!”Incessantlyis the student of BerkeleyBranch schoolMath department, aboutthismatter, the professorsis also whooping.
不止是伯克利分校数学系的学生,关于这件事情,教授们也在议论纷纷着。Although the analytic theory of numbersis not the domineeringdirection of BerkeleyBranch school, hereis partialinpartial differential equationsomeon the other hand, scholar but who is not skilled inregardingTerence Taothisalmostnodomain, will not naturally miss the flash news of mathematics circles.
虽然解析数论并非是伯克利分校的强势方向,相对来说这里还是更偏向于偏微分方程一些,但对于陶哲轩这种几乎没有哪个领域不精通的学者来说,自然是不会错过数学界的大新闻。
The office of BerkeleyBranch schoolMath department, sitsbeforepiling up with the desk of scratch paper, the handis relayingTerence Tao of ball pen, is deeping frownis staring on the tablethatwritingdense and numeroustheorystationery, because is really extremelydedicated, has not heardincludingbehindknock.
伯克利分校数学系的办公室,坐在堆满草稿纸的书桌前,手中转着圆珠笔的陶哲轩,正眉头紧锁地盯着桌上那张写的密密麻麻的论文纸,因为实在是太过专注,以至于连身后的敲门声都没有听到。
The knockcontinuedto make a sounda while, then the gateshoved opendirectly, an appearancethin and tallAsianman, carriedonebox of pizzato illuminate. Fromhisskilledmovement, shouldbe the doctor in thisoffice.
敲门声继续响了一会儿,尔后门直接推开了,一位模样瘦高的亚裔男子,拎着一盒披萨照了进来。从他熟练的动作来看,应该是这间办公室里的博士。„Professor, pizza that youorder.”
“教授,您点的披萨到了。”Has not gained ground, Terence Taoturns away fromhimto speak thoughtlesslyto say.
没有抬头,陶哲轩背对着他随口说道。„One side helpsmeplacegood.”
“帮我放在一边就好。”„Good, althoughIrecommendedyouto eatbefore it's too late,”placedon the pizza the table, thispostgraduate candidatelooked in front of a bossthatscratch paper, askedcuriously, „that did Ilook at you topiconmathoverflow...... youstillto studythatpaperthis morning?”
“好的,虽然我推荐您趁热吃了,”将披萨放在了桌子上,这位博士生看了一眼老板面前的那张草稿纸,好奇地问了一句,“那个,今天早晨我看了您在mathoverflow上的话题……您还在研究那篇论文吗?”Terence Tao: „Yes.”
陶哲轩:“是的。”Swallowed a saliva, the postgraduate candidateaskedwith the tone of anticipation.
咽了口唾沫,那博士生用期待的语气问道。„Had the result?”
“有结果了吗?”„If anyIwill tellyou.”
“如果有的话我会告诉你。”„Good.”Is hearingthisdesolatesound, thatpostgraduate candidatespatunder the tongue, livedto make a helplessexpression, withdrew fromout of the door.
“好吧。”听着这冷淡的声音,那个博士生吐了下舌头,生做了个无奈的表情,退出了门外。Generally speakingProfessorTaoarequiteamiable, moreoverisin many bigcows of BerkeleyBranch school, a fewcanwith the professor who the studentsbecome integrated with.
一般来说陶教授都是比较平易近人的,而且算是伯克利分校的诸多大牛中,少数会和学生们打成一片的教授。However, this is also the sub-fieldgathers.
然而,这也是分场合的。Generally speaking, whenhebywhatissueperplexing, evenhis wifecomesnot to count on that hecandisplaywarmly......
一般来说,当他被什么问题给难住的时候,就算是他的老婆来了也别指望他能表现得有多热情……„Interesting.”
“有点意思。”„The method of introductionalgebraGeometrystudy, canseeGrothendieckworkinhispaper the shadow, butis notspeciallyobvious.”
“引入代数几何学的方法,在他的论文中能够看到格罗滕迪克著作的影子,但又不是特别明显。”„Actually does keylie in the complex planes the selection of algebraic curve...... hehowwantsto come out?”
“关键在于复平面上代数曲线的选取……他究竟是怎么想出来的?”„Moreover...... can thismethodreallycall it the proof?”
“而且……这种方法真的能称之为证明吗?”
By the office chair, stared attop of the headthatto fall the fulldust the ceiling fan, Terence Taosomewhattroublesomeflexure the back of the head.
靠在了办公椅上,盯着头顶那落满灰尘的吊扇,陶哲轩有些伤脑筋地挠了挠后脑勺。Hewill rarely puzzlesuchfor a matter.
他很少会为一件事情困扰如此之久。
The ball penselectedon the papergently, hesitatedsome little time, hespata few wordsseriously.
圆珠笔轻轻在纸上点了点,沉吟了好一会儿,他才面色凝重地吐出来一句话。„Is controversial.”
“存在争议。”Howeverthese wordsuseis not the affirmativetone, whentreatingthisissue, hehad no wayto be self-confidentlikebeforerarely.
然而这句话所用的并非是肯定的语气,在对待这个问题时,他罕见地没法像以前那样自信了。„WasImisreads......”
“是我看错了吗……”Such that reallysuch ashethinks, is the proof the existing problem?
还是真的如他所想的那样,证明是存在问题的?
......
……Then, whenprevioustimereceivesVera'smail, Lu Zhouis not quite clear.
说起来,上次是什么时候收到薇拉的邮件,陆舟已经记不太清楚了。Perhapsisoneyear ago?
也许是一年前?Perhapsisremotepointmatter.
也许是更久远一点的事情。
Obviously, is studyingRiemann hypothesisVera, verynaturalsawheinthatpre-printed book that onarxivhangs, andshouldbespends the time study, andfrom thishadsomequestions.
很显然,正在研究黎曼猜想的薇拉,很自然地看到了他在arxiv上挂出来的那篇预印本,并且应该是花时间研究了一遍,并且由此而产生了一些疑问。A lot are very difficultto discussclearlyin the mail, two peopleagreein the next daygoing to the capitaltimein the evening8 o' clock, conducts the video call.
很多事情在邮件中是很难讨论清楚的,两人约定在次日上京时间晚上八点,进行视频通话。Thereupon......
于是乎……Three years later, Lu Zhousawagainhemostself-satisfied, mostmadehishave mixed feelingsdisciple.
时隔三年,陆舟再一次见到了他最得意、也是最令他心情复杂的弟子。Althoughis away from a mesh wire......
虽然隔着一条网线……Next dayevening's8 o' clockentire, the screentelephone conversationopens.
次日晚上八点整,视屏通话打开。Made. the coffeeto sitin the study room, Lu Zhouprepareddiscussionacademic issue, but the atmosphere was actually the somewhatunexpectedstiffcup
冲了杯咖啡坐在书房里,陆舟原本是做好了探讨学术问题的准备,但气氛却是有些意料之外的僵硬。As ifsuppressedmanywordsto planlittle miss who mustsay, thislittle whileseemed likedoes not know how shouldopen the mouth, such a facesat there tight, staredstares at the computerscreennot to speak.
似乎憋了很多话打算要说的小姑娘,这会儿又像是不知道该如何开口了,就这么一脸紧张地坐在那里,直勾勾地盯着电脑屏幕不说话。Butwhen a Verafacelooks atLu Zhou in videodisturbedly, similarlyis looking atVera'sLu Zhou, the expression on this momentface is also the somewhatsubtleawkwardness.
而就在薇拉一脸忐忑地看着视频中的陆舟的时候,同样在看着薇拉的陆舟,此刻脸上的表情也是有些微妙的尴尬。Goldenbeautiful haircombed the fineprincesspigtail, bringingnear the silklong skirtto outline the shoulderbeautifulcurve, even ifcould not distinguish clearlyamongrednumbersLu Zhoudifferencestill to look,thisappearancewas not the dailymakeupaccommodatesobviously, has obviously dressed upcarefully.
金色的秀发梳成了精致的公主辫,带丝边的长裙勾勒出了肩膀姣好的曲线,即便是分不清口红色号之间的区别的陆舟也能看出来,这副模样显然不是日常的妆容,明显是精心打扮过的。
The words saying that whatat this timeshouldsay?
话说这时候该说些什么?For a long timedoesn't see?
好久不见?As ifwas a little desolate.
似乎有点冷淡了。
Is yournewhairstylevery good?
你的新发型很不错?Alwaysfelt that canhave the unnecessarymisunderstanding......
总感觉会产生不必要的误会……Coughedgently, Lu Zhoumade the officialexpressiondiligently, saidwith the clearsound.
轻轻咳嗽了一声,陆舟努力做出了正式的表情,用清晰的声音开口说道。„Wheredirectlyenters the subject...... to makemehave a look atyourquestionto be.”
“直接进入正题吧……让我看看你的疑问在哪。”Exchanges greetingswill instead make the atmospherewith the smalltalksomewhatstiff, everyonedoes the math, directlyenters the subject, perhapswill instead make the atmosphereslightlymore relaxed.
寒暄和客套反而会让气氛变得有些僵硬,大家都是搞数学的,直接进入正题,说不定反而会让气氛稍微轻松一些。Really, asthese wordssay, atmosphere in the video callwas slightly gentlesome.
果然,随着这句话说出口,视频通话中的气氛稍微柔和了些许。SitsalsorelentsinVera of computerthathead, the chickenpeckingmeter/ricenods, saidlow voice.
坐在电脑那头的薇拉也是松了口,紧接着小鸡啄米似地点了点头,小声说道。„Un un, please, pleasewait a bit......”
“嗯嗯,请,请稍等……”Saying, the little misssetting outhalf steparrivedone side, the nearbyfromclassroomdrags an intentionwrote all over the blackboardwith effort.
说着,小姑娘起身快步走到了一边,费力地从教室的边上拖过来了一张用心写满了的黑板。Sawthatall various professionsmathematical formula on blackboard, Lu Zhoustaresslightly, in the eyeflashed throughsurprisedquickly, immediatelyexpressiongraduallyearnest.
看到黑板上的那一行行算式,陆舟微微愣了一下,眼中很快闪过一丝惊讶,随即表情渐渐认真了起来。LooksLu Zhou that is lost in thought that Veraclears throat , to continue to saylow voice,„thisisyouwhen the algebraGeometrystudymethod of the certificatewould-beRiemann hypothesisusing, Itriedto inducefrom the issue the method.”
看着陷入沉思的陆舟,薇拉清了清嗓子,小声继续说道,“这是您在证明准黎曼猜想时用到的代数几何学方法,我试着将方法从问题本身中归纳了出来。”Glanced over the content on blackboardfast, the Lu Zhouapplausenodded, gave the affirmativeappraisal.
将黑板上的内容快速浏览了一遍,陆舟赞许地点了点头,给予了肯定的评价。„Does, good.”
“做的,不错。”Worthilyis the apprentice who heteaches.
不愧是他教出来的徒弟。Canreorganizethesethings, is not quite easy.
能将这些东西整理出来,已经相当不容易了。Verasmilesembarrassed: „AlthoughMorina...... Ms.Abbelmakesmewithyoudo not exchangetheseissues, butIthought...... andyoursymposiumis quite good.”
薇拉不好意思地笑了笑:“虽然莫丽娜……阿贝尔女士让我不要和您交流这些问题,但我还是觉得……和您讨论会比较好。”Exchangesthisideawith the talent is actually a riskymatter, because the academic circleonlyrecognizes the achievement, wheredoes not recognize„idea”to come.
和天才交流这种想法其实是一件充满风险的事情,因为学术界是只认成果,不认“idea”是从哪里来的。Thereforelet aloneissomeseems like the quiteinterestingidea, even ifsometimeswill mountto withstand/top the publication the periodic resultto be pressedbyauthorsufficientlyis not sending...... ifhewill have the ambitionto a even highergoal, butitselfwill also not be the scholar who thattypewill be indifferent to fame and fortuneanddoes not care about the status.
因此别说是一些看上去比较有趣的想法,有时候就算是足以登上顶刊的阶段性成果都会被作者自己压着不发……如果他对更高等的目标存在野心,而本身又不属于那种淡泊名利、不在意名分的学者的话。
, Veraexchanged the earnestexpression , to continue to say.
顿了顿,薇拉换上了认真的表情,继续说道。„Icarefullywas studyingyouwhen the proof, when the Evalueis infinitesimal, in the re (s ) ≥ 1-eregiondoes not haveZetafunction the non-vanishingordinarypoint the algebraic curve that on galois field said that andaccording toZeta(s ) = 2 Γ( 1-s)( 2 π) s-1 sin( πs/2) Zeta( 1-s )natureobtained......”
“我在仔细研究了您在证明当e取值无限小,re(s)≥1-e的区域内不存在ζ函数的非零平凡点时引入的有限域上的代数曲线,并且根据ζ(s)=2Γ(1-s)(2π)s-1sin(πs/二)ζ(1-s)的性质得到了……”Saying, Veraturned aroundto the blackboard, inblank position that the cornerplaceleft, wrote an all various professionsmathematical formula.
说着,薇拉转身面向了黑板,在边角处留出的空白位置,写出了一行行算式。Looks atVera'sblackboard writingonblackboard, the Lu Zhoubrowwrinklesslightly, butsoonhadto relax.
看着薇拉在黑板上的板书,陆舟眉头微微皱起,不过很快有松弛了开来。Hehad roughly understoodVera'smentality.
他已经大致了解了薇拉的思路。Sheinoneselfshowed that methodinfoundation, throughhomology group the method of mapping, gaveplanherelformula in the kind of listconnected nilpotentliegroup...... is conducted certainimprovementtohisgroupconstructionlawin brief, thenutilizedto the enlargement of Evalue.
她在自己证明方法的基础上,通过同调群的映射的方法,给出一类单连通幂零lie群上的planherel公式……简而言之就是对他的群构法进行了一定的改良,然后运用到了对e数值的放大上。Walks randomly the chalkonblackboardstops, Vera who has turned roundgraduallysmilesshyly.
游走在黑板上的粉笔渐渐停下,回过身来的薇拉腼腆地笑了笑。„Is probably acceptedthroughthismethod, butIonlyachievedhalf. Ithink , if you, certainlycanfind the reason......”
“通过这种方法大概是行得通的,但我只做到一半就进行不下去了。我想如果是您的话,一定能找到原因……”„Therefore......, ifcanhelpyouronbusilybe good.”
“所以……要是能帮您的上忙就好了。”
The last few words, Vera'svoiceis very small, toher is not quite definite, whetherLu Zhou of videothatheadreallyhears.
最后一句话,薇拉的声音很小,小到她自己都不太确定,视频那头的陆舟是否真的有听到。Stared at the mathematical formula on blackboardto look ata whileearnestly, sat there Lu Zhoumotionlessly, suddenlysaid.
盯着黑板上的算式认真看了一会儿,一动不动坐在那里的陆舟,忽然开口说道。„Youknow why couldn't find the reason?”
“你知道为什么找不到原因吗?”Gawkedslightly, Veraaskedsubconsciously.
微微愣了下,薇拉下意识问道。„...... Why?”
“……为什么?”On the facehad the regrettableexpression, Lu Zhouto say the fact.
脸上带着遗憾的表情,陆舟说出了事实。„Because of the groupconstructionlaw, cannot provethisissue.”
“因为群构法,是证不出来这个问题的。”Vera: „......?”
薇拉:“……?”
