Netizens in the country have completely fallen into madness, and the title Xiao Yi is called God of Mathematics, but it is spreading further and further.
Gauss is Prince of Mathematics, Grothendieck is Math Emperor, and now, finally, a God of Mathematics appears.
Now, on the entire external network, there are basically not many people who refute this statement.
After all, by successfully proving Riemann Hypothesis's achievements in this short period of time, Xiao Yi is indeed worthy of the title of God of Mathematics, not to mention that he has already achieved so many achievements before.
To be honest, someone has already called God of Mathematics this title before, but now, with the proof of Riemann Hypothesis, this title has become more worthy of the name.
A real God of Mathematics, of course, should prove the ultimate problem in mathematics.
Now, Xiao Yi has completed this step.
Of course, this is the case abroad, but it is even more exciting at home.
Almost as soon as the news came in, it immediately spread across the country.
After all, quite a few Chinese people want to know whether their Scholar Xiao can defeat Prime Pioneer Program, a team composed of almost all top foreign mathematicians, in proving Riemann Hypothesis.
1vsN itself is an exciting thing, not to mention, the problems to be faced are still problems like Riemann Hypothesis. This is a competition that truly challenges the pinnacle of human wisdom.
It is not comparable to any ordinary competition.
And now, their Scholar Xiao seems to have won!
For a time, all domestic netizens began to get excited.
Various related online platforms are full of voices discussing this matter. As for the hot searches, they are already occupied by this matter.
[Wori! Real or fake? Riemann Hypothesis was proved by Scholar Xiao?]
[Yes, it has been proven. You can see it by going directly to the website. There are five papers in total, all of which are from Scholar Xiao. I downloaded them and read them again. Of course, I only read them once, and it is impossible to understand them. This thing is like a holy book to me.]
[No, what is this Riemann Hypothesis? Why is it that when I turn on my phone today, everyone is discussing this?]
[No, buddy, are you from Mars? Don't you know this yet? You can't even know Scholar Xiao, right?]
[To put it simply, Scholar Xiao competes with a group of top foreign mathematicians to see who can first prove this mathematical problem called Riemann Hypothesis, and then this Riemann Hypothesis is also extremely difficult and can be called It is the best in mathematics. This conjecture is also known as the crown jewel of mathematics. This problem has existed in the mathematics community for hundreds of years, but it has never been proved by mathematicians. But now, our Scholar Xiao has suddenly successfully proved it. Do you think this is awesome?]
[Awesome!]
[I am here to say only three things: Scholar Xiao is awesome! Scholar Xiao is awesome! Scholar Xiao is awesome!]
[Scholar Xiao is the real king of mathematics!]
[The King of Mathematics is now obsolete. Now Scholar Xiao should be called the God of Mathematics! This is what everyone calls it now abroad.]
[Okay, okay, God of Mathematics, that's what it should be called]
[God is what foreigners call us, we should change it]
[Who told you that this is what foreigners call it? Do you know what Haotian God is?]
[No, everyone, are you opening the champagne a little too early now? Whether Xiao Yi is really proved successful, the mathematical community has not yet given a definite answer, right? It's not good to open the champagne too early.]
[Then you are probably forgetting the problems that Scholar Xiao proved before. When did you fail?]
[Who are you? If you are Chinese, then what exactly did Scholar Xiao do to make you disrespect him so much that you are not even willing to call him Professor Xiao?]
[I suspect this person is a netizen from northern China]
[The suspicion is reasonable, but it does not prevent him from being one of the 1.6 billion members.]
[Don't worry, after a few days, after the mathematical community has reached a conclusion, you will find yourself being slapped in the face.]
[...]
People are full of confidence in the proof of Xiao Yi. This is also due to the previous results of Xiao Yi. No one will believe that he has published the paper and there will be errors.
Even though what this paper wants to prove is Riemann Hypothesis.
As a result, in the next few days, there was a carnival-like scene on the domestic Internet.
Some netizens even made a wiki page specifically for this matter. On this page, all the background stories of Riemann Hypothesis are introduced in detail, as well as some related things.
Of course, the most important thing about this wiki page is that there is a vote, respectively for the Champagne Party and the Baosi Party.
The champagne party thinks that they can open champagne in advance to celebrate. As for the Baosi party, they think that there is a high probability of Baosi and don't believe that it can succeed.
Then in this voting, the total number of votes was close to 5,000. More than 99% of the votes chose the Champagne Party. Only less than 1% of the votes felt that the proof of Xiao Yi failed. There were still some votes because they chose the Baosi Party because they made a mistake.
This vote has attracted the attention of many people, and some foreign netizens even learned about this website, and then clicked in and cast their own votes.
Of course, these things are basically done by the private sector.
As for the official, they have also expressed their position.
For example, CCTV also specifically broadcast this matter as an important news, and also included comments on this matter from some well-known domestic mathematicians.
For example, Academician Xi Lan, who is the president of the Chinese Mathematical Association, said, "Riemann Hypothesis is the most important conjecture in mathematics. Once this proof is successful, thousands of propositions will become theorems in mathematics, and these theorems will play a very important role in the subsequent development of mathematics."
"Similarly, if it can be proven successful, it will become one of the most important breakthroughs in mathematics in so many years. It is even more important than when Professor Xiao Yi proved the other two Millennium Prize Problems."
"... This is a great achievement."
"... Although it is still open to question whether Professor Xiao Yi's proof is successful, considering Professor Xiao Yi's many past achievements and his personal abilities, including our trust in him, there is a high probability that he will not fail. Of course, the final results still need to wait for the unanimous conclusion of the mathematical community."
"As far as the news I have received so far, the mathematicians including that Prime Pioneer Program are currently looking at this paper by Professor Xiao Yi. I believe that after a while, they will have the results."
All in all, everyone outside the mathematical circle, because they know nothing about mathematics, can only wait for the results announced by the mathematical circle.
In the mathematics circle, most people are also waiting for those at the top of the mathematics pyramid to announce the news.
Mathematics today is like a pyramid. There is only one person standing at the top, that is Xiao Yi.
Now he has completed the proof of Riemann Hypothesis, and then published his proof, waiting for the top mathematicians on the level below him to interpret and verify it.
Then, after these top mathematicians have completed their interpretation, the verification results can be announced to the lower levels.
In the end, whether this result is correct or not depends on the verification results of these top mathematicians.
In this way, another week passed quietly.
Undoubtedly, the results this time were very slow, which is of course completely understandable.
Not to mention that this is Riemann Hypothesis, but it is nearly four hundred pages long and cannot be read quickly.
However, in the face of the attention of many people in the society, in the end, some people made a simple reply first.
This person is Terence Tao. As the first person to learn the news, he is of course also the first person to see the paper.
Nearly ten days have passed now. Because he is often active on the Internet, many people follow him. Naturally, many people ask him about Xiao Yi's paper and other questions.
Although he has not finished reading it yet, the content that he has finished reading has already brought him a huge surprise.
So, he posted a simple response to those who asked him on his personal blog.
[First of all, I want to state that I have not read all the papers. I have only roughly read three of them, and the last one is left, which is the paper that proves Riemann Hypothesis. However, I must say that the three papers that I have read now have given me a huge shock.
It can be said that this is a work of art! It is a mathematical work of art. I don't know how Xiao Yi came up with it, but whether it is his proof logic or the methods he used, it has completely touched my heart. Every time I see the various methods he uses to prove a lemma or construct a new function, I feel wonderful about it.
Now I can basically confirm that Xiao Yi has been making progress, and the speed of his progress is also very amazing. I really can't imagine what level Xiao Yi's mathematical attainments will reach when I get old.
Okay, that's all I want to say this time. You don't have to keep asking me. In fact, when I saw Xiao Yi's paper, I already believed that he succeeded. Now that I have read three papers, I am even more sure of this.
And now, I am going to read the last paper. I want to see how Riemann Hypothesis is proved!]
As soon as Terence Tao's blog was published, it immediately attracted countless attention.
After all, he was the first among the top mathematicians to respond to this matter.
And his blog basically shows that the proof of Xiao Yi is very likely to be successful.
In particular, his praise for the papers Xiao Yi surprised people even more.
How well-written is Xiao Yi's paper that even Mozart in mathematics could praise it so highly?
Do you even call these papers mathematical works of art?
For ordinary people, or anyone who has not reached the level of Terence Tao, even a mathematics professor, they cannot understand what he means.
Of course, although they couldn't understand Terence Tao calling it a work of art, it didn't stop them from being shocked by it.
Even Terence Tao has approved the proof of Xiao Yi. Although it is limited to the first three papers, the first three papers have been confirmed. Is there still one left to go before the last one?
So netizens became excited again.
Of course, except for Terence Tao, other mathematicians have basically read a few articles, although most of them mainly browse briefly to make sure there are no major mistakes, and then read them in detail later.
Then, these mathematicians also made some responses one after another.
For example, Schultz, as a mathematician who is currently active in the international mathematics community, has browsed and finished all four papers.
He said: [What I want to say is basically the same as what Terence Tao wants to say. Although I haven't read through some details yet, what I also want to say is that this is a work of art, a mathematical work of art. Although sometimes I want to know whether Xiao Yi is still a human being, but now, I am still very grateful to him for bringing such a paper to us. This is a great enjoyment for us! Thank you, Xiao Yi.]
As one of the earliest initiators of Prime Pioneer Program, Manuel·Balgava also made the same statement. He said it in front of reporters when accepting an interview from a media.
"Unfortunately, Prime Pioneer Program is still lagging behind Xiao Yi. Although we have already expected such a thing, Xiao Yi is the kind of unpredictable person. You will never think of the extent to which he can achieve it. Until he suddenly comes up with the results, you will suddenly find that you have fallen far behind. Xiao Yi has been like this for so many years."
Then the reporter asked, "But Prime Pioneer Program has so many mathematicians, why did Xiao Yi lead so quickly?"
Manuel just smiled and said, "When it comes to mathematics problems, we never follow the principle of strength in numbers."
"It is more about following the reverse principle of the barrel. Well... I hope you can understand what I mean, which is Anti-Barrel Principle. That is to say, how much water this barrel can hold does not depend on the shortest board, but depends on the longest board. I think this is quite understandable. After all, the entire mathematical community also abides by this Anti-Barrel Principle, including the entire academic world, without exception."
"Therefore, although Prime Pioneer Program has many top-notch mathematicians, and these mathematicians can be called very long wooden boards in the mathematics world, Xiao Yi is the longest one."
"That's it."
Manuel finally nodded, as if agreeing with his own statement.
As a result, the reporter insisted on arguing with him. "But if Xiao Yi is just a wooden board, can it be turned into a barrel? You have so many mathematicians. Even if a single wooden board is not as long as Xiao Yi, it can at least form a wooden board."
Manuel twitched the corner of his mouth, and then said, "That means that Xiao Yi's board is not only long, but also very wide, so he can surround it by one person, unlike us, who need many people to surround it. Do you understand?"
