14:25.
In the large lecture hall of the Institute of Mathematics and Systems Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in the small lounge next door.
Xiao Yi, who was wearing a formal suit, didn't hold anything in his hands and was calmly waiting for the moment to go on stage.
"There are 5 minutes left, are you ready?"
Next to him, the director of the institute, academician Xi Lan, asked with a smile.
Xiao Yi: "It's ready."
"But didn't you prepare some manuscripts or something?"
Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. "No, but I have memorized everything you want to talk about."
Of course, what he wants to say is already in his mind, so there is no need to prepare a manuscript or anything else.
Seeing his confident look, Xi Lan nodded happily, "That's good!"
He likes such confident young people.
"Also, is the new thing you said you were going to talk about yesterday related to Automorphic Forms?"
Xiao Yi nodded. "Yes, I think there may be a certain connection between Automorphic Forms and Far Abelian Geometry, so after some research, I finally succeeded in connecting the two and completely algebraized Far Abelian Geometry."
"In this way, we will be able to apply Far Abelian Geometry's method to number theory, which will be of great help to us in solving some problems in number theory."
Xi Lan was immediately stunned.
What and what?
The new thing Xiao Yi is going to talk about is actually this kind of thing?
You call this kind of thing new?
... Okay, theoretically speaking, this thing is really new.
But, why didn't you tell me about such a big thing earlier?!
"Dong dong dong."
There was a knock on the door of the lounge, and the staff left and came in and said, "The report meeting is about to begin. Student Xiao Yi, you can get ready to go on stage. Dean Xi, do you think...?"
Xi Lan looked at the staff member, and finally at Xiao Yi.
Well, there is no time now, otherwise he would have wanted to ask Xiao Yi about more details.
However, the report meeting was about to begin anyway, and he could also hear Xiao Yi's narration in the report.
Standing up and patting Xiao Yi on the shoulder, Xi Lan said, "Okay, I'll listen to your explanation at the report meeting. I'm looking forward to it."
Xiao Yi nodded and smiled slightly, "You will not be disappointed."
"Researchers, professors, fellow mathematicians, and students from major universities, on behalf of Academy of Mathematics and Systems Science, I welcome you all to come here and participate in this report."
"The keynote speaker of this report is Xiao Yi, a freshman from University of Science and Technology of China. Of course, I don't think I need to introduce him too much. Everyone should have heard of Xiao Yi's deeds in recent times."
"Then, let us invite Xiao Yi to formally conduct today's report for everyone!"
Xi Lan entered the lecture hall first and acted as the host for a while.
Then, under the eyes of more than six hundred pairs of eyes, there was a sound of footsteps at the door, and a young man in formal clothes walked in.
The speaker of this report came into everyone's sight.
Applause burst out.
The mathematicians were smiling, and they all maintained goodwill toward such a young genius who belonged to their country.
For the students, it was even more exciting.
"Scholar Xiao!"
"Scholar Xiao is awesome!"
Several shouts were particularly obvious in the lecture hall.
The scholars sitting in front burst into laughter. These young people are really always full of enthusiasm.
Xiao Yi walked to the middle of the podium with a smile on his face. After hearing those shouts, he nodded slightly in the direction of the sound.
Then he bowed slightly.
"Hello everyone, my name is Xiao Yi."
"I am honored to be invited by the Institute of Mathematics and Systems Science to hold this lecture here. I am also very grateful to everyone for taking time out of their busy schedule to attend my lecture."
"So, I will do my best to present the best knowledge to everyone."
"Well, without further ado, this report will officially begin."
Xiao Yi walked to the multimedia console and turned the ppt page back.
The theme of this report also emerged.
"Abc conjecture, Far Abelian Geometry, and Automorphic Forms"
Probably because of time issues, the ppt is a very simple black text on a white background without anything else.
"The main purpose of this report is to introduce to everyone the conclusion about the ABC conjecture in the Max Planck Institute discussion and how this conclusion was reached."
"As for the conclusion, I think everyone already knows it, that is: the abc conjecture is still a conjecture, and it was finally discovered that there was a critical error in Professor Shinichi Mochizuki's proof."
"As for where this critical error lies, we must first start with the part about Hodge Theater in Professor Mochizuki's IUTT theory."
The ppt page was turned over again, and the second page was also black text on a white background. It briefly introduced what Hodge Theater is.
And Xiao Yi's explanation gradually unfolded.
In fact, for him, there is nothing good to say about what is wrong with Shinichi Mochizuki.
But considering that the main purpose of Academy of Mathematics and Systems Science inviting him to give this report is this, so he will talk to everyone for now.
In this way, after almost half an hour, he finally finished speaking.
"... Ultimately, given the definition of Far Abelian Geometry, there is an irreconcilable contradiction in Hodge Theater, and therefore, the IUTT theory is proven wrong."
"Of course, the ABC conjecture has not been solved."
"The above is the report on the ABC conjecture."
Xiao Yi stopped, picked up the cup next to him and took a sip of water.
Off the court, most mathematicians also began to absorb what Xiao Yi just said.
There were bursts of small discussions.
"That's very well said, young man."
Under the stage, an old man sitting in the first row nodded approvingly.
This old man's name is Ma Zhiyuan, and he is also an academician of Academy of Mathematics and Systems Science. In addition, his mathematical abilities are among the best in the country. Just being invited by International Congress of Mathematicians and giving a report on stage is unmatched by many domestic scholars.
He also served as the vice chairman of International Mathematical Union, the first time a Chinese mathematician held this position, and was also the Chairman of the Organizing Committee when International Congress of Mathematicians was held in China in 2002.
All in all, Academician Ma's status in the domestic mathematics community is definitely that of a Taishan Beidou-level figure.
Next to him, Xi Lan also smiled and nodded, "Yes, although it only took less than half an hour, the explanation was very thorough. At least, I, a person who doesn't know much about Far Abelian Geometry, almost understood it."
Academician Ma nodded.
Most of the mathematicians present would probably nod in agreement if they heard Xi Lan's comments.
Because what Xiao Yi said really made many of them understand it.
"However, I am a little curious about what Automorphic Forms he is going to talk about in this report."
Academician Ma said with slight confusion at this time, "Does he still understand Automorphic Forms, such advanced knowledge in number theory?"
Xi Lan was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Xiao Yi on the stage.
At this time, the speaker had put down the water glass in his hand, probably preparing for the next topic.
"He... may know more about number theory than we think."
