The next day.
As the participants gradually arrived, the person in charge of the conference announced the name of the first speaker. After three or four people, Xun Wen solemnly walked onto the stage amidst warm applause.
He stood on the stage and glanced at the thousands of mathematicians below. He said slowly," I know that many people are looking forward to my report on the proof of Jebov's conjecture. However, today, I have changed the topic of the report.”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was an uproar below the stage. The person in charge of the conference, Schwicker, had a dumbfounded expression and did not know what to do at all.
Xun Wen continued," Because what I'm going to talk about this time is even more important, so I can't wait to share it with you.”
"This is the complete proof of Riemann's hypothesis!”
After listening to Xun Wen's speech, the mathematicians in the audience instantly became excited. Some even stood up and shouted angrily, while others shook their heads.
On the other hand, Professor Wu Hao and Professor Zou Ming from Shuimu University were anxious. They wanted nothing more than to drag Xun Wen down.
One had to know that if one made a fool of themselves at such a grand event, they would never be able to raise their heads and would be treated as a disgrace by mathematicians all over the world.
Professor Qiu was also confused. He didn't expect Xun Wen to be so bold. He knew that Xun Wen had been researching Riemann's hypothesis, but he had only been researching it for less than a year. How could he announce his theory on stage?
"This is cutting himself off from the mathematics world." Old Professor Qiu sighed in his heart. It was rare for Shuimu to have such a good seedling in mathematics. He was deeply saddened by the fact that it was unexpectedly destroyed.
Professor Faltings, who was sitting in the first row, suddenly stood up." Young man, I don't know where your courage comes from, but I want to confirm with you again. Are you still going to talk about the proof of Riemann's hypothesis?”
" Of course." Xun Wen smiled and said," Since I've come up, I won't go down dejectedly."”
Faltings slowly nodded." If you didn't prove your talent with Jebov's conjecture, I would have kicked you out. But today, I'm willing to give you a chance to finish the report you want to do. I hope you don't disappoint us.”
After saying that, he looked deeply at Xun Wen and then sat back down.
" Thank you for your understanding," Xun Wen said with a smile." Now, if any of you think that I'm just trying to please the crowd, you can leave."”
"My report is only for those who are willing to witness a miracle!”
Everyone quieted down, and a small group of people left, but most of them stayed behind because Faltings, Perelman, and the others didn't leave.
" I'm glad that most of you have stayed," Xun Wen said with a smile." Because today is the day to witness a miracle."”
He opened the powerpoint that he had prepared and began to say,
"As we all know, Riemann's hypothesis is one of the seven major mathematical problems in the world.”
" Today, I stand here and am honored to tell you that these 1,000 or so theses will officially become a theorem!”
" I'm going to explain the proof process in detail. Please listen carefully," Xun Wen said with a smile." I'm afraid that you will be abandoned by God when you are about to reach the Nirvana Realm of Truth.”
Some people below the stage laughed out loud, and the atmosphere in the venue immediately relaxed a little.
Xun Wen smiled and said,"First, let's start with the zeta function. In Riemann's manuscript, we know that the frequency of prime numbers is closely related to the behavior of a carefully constructed zeta function. All the meaningful solutions of the equation zeta (s)=0 lie on a straight line. This has been verified for the first 1,500,000,000 solutions…"
“……”
"T(x) represents the number of prime numbers less than x. Imagine, if x is a prime number, then the value of T(x 1)T(x) is 1. If x is not a prime number, then the difference is 0..."
Xun Wen spoke for nearly two hours without any pause. The few big names in the front row of the audience listened very seriously and nodded from time to time, but the mathematicians sitting at the back were getting more and more confused.
Xun Wen had used too many mathematical tools to prove Riemann's hypothesis, and he was involved in almost every major branch of mathematics. However, most of the people present didn't study anything other than their own research. It wasn't that they didn't want to, but they didn't have enough energy.
Therefore, the mathematicians present listened to Xun Wen's speech in a daze while sighing at Xun Wen's extensive knowledge of various branches of mathematics.
After speaking for another half an hour, Xun Wen could hear Perelman's stomach growling as his hearing was three times better than a normal person's. He paused for a moment and realized that it was almost one o'clock in the afternoon, so he changed the topic." It's already one o'clock. Let's have lunch first."”
" No, we're not hungry," Perelman said excitedly." Continue. I feel like I'm one step away from the truth."”
Faltings and Schultz asked Xun Wen to continue, but Perelman's stomach growled even louder. The two people sitting next to him heard it clearly, and the atmosphere became awkward.
Xun Wen smiled." Let's rest for half an hour. Everyone can have lunch."”
At this moment, Schwicker, the person in charge of the conference, ran up and announced that they would take a break for half an hour. Compared to Xun Wen, he was more afraid that the mathematicians would have any problems. Even if the probability was very small, he had to avoid it as much as possible.
So, under Schwicker's complicated gaze, Perelman and Faltings dragged Xun Wen to the cafeteria for lunch. Schultz and Deligne looked at each other and followed.
(As always, thank you!)
