"Pfft..."
As soon as Xiao Yi said these words, the people who were watching the report almost burst into tears.
The blank space is too small to write here.
Do you think you are Fermat?!
This sentence said by Xiao Yi is very famous in the mathematics community. It comes from Fermat, which is the Fermat of Fermat's Last Theorem.
Fermat's Last Theorem is also called Fermat's Last Conjecture. As its proposer, Fermat added this sentence in the book after proposing this conjecture, "I am convinced that I have discovered a wonderful proof. Unfortunately, the blank space here is too small to write it down."
No one knows whether Fermat actually discovered that wonderful proof, but this sentence has become a popular saying in the mathematics world, and many mathematicians have quoted this "famous saying" to one degree or another.
However, for the audience of this report meeting, they never expected that Xiao Yi would say such a sentence at the end.
Okay, the program is quite effective.
After everyone was caught off guard, there were bursts of laughter.
Xiao Yi shrugged and said he was innocent, "It's almost half past five, and this report meeting has been going on for three hours. I believe many viewers can't wait."
"So it's not just that there's too little white space here, it's also that there's too little time."
At this time, he saw the academician Ma Zhiyuan standing up again and asked, "Okay, then our Mr. Scholar Fermat, how long will it take for us to see that wonderful proof you mentioned?"
Scholar Fermat?
Or Little Fermat?
Xiao Yi showed helplessness on his face, and then replied, "In about two days, I will put the content of this report and the proof paper on the Elliott-Halberstam conjecture on the arxiv preprint website. Everyone is welcome to review."
"That's good!" Ma Zhiyuan laughed, and then he took the lead in applauding.
As this old mathematician with a high reputation in the domestic mathematics community applauded, other academicians around him also applauded.
Soon, applause spread throughout the lecture hall. Listening to the applause in his ears, Xiao Yi bowed slightly and paid his final tribute to the audience of this report.
For those mathematicians who have almost understood Xiao Yi's report, their applause is sincere. For those scholars who have not understood, although they are a little confused, they understand the Elliott-Halberstam conjecture mentioned by Xiao Yi at the end. Yeah
How could this young genius solve a very important mathematical conjecture at such an age?
Even if they don't understand it, they are already looking forward to Xiao Yi's paper two days later.
As for the students sitting in the back...
"Brother Lu, what did Scholar Xiao say at the end? What Elliott... Habstam guessed, it was this thing? He proved it?"
Chen Muhua looked confused and asked Lu Ping next to him.
However, Lu Ping is not much better than him. "I know it. Although I have almost finished reading undergraduate mathematics, to be honest, undergraduate mathematics is basically stuff from hundreds of years ago. What Scholar Xiao is doing is probably something that really belongs to the last few decades."
Chen Muhua: "So, Scholar Xiao proved a world problem?"
Lu Ping was silent for a moment, and then said, "Although I can't say that yet, after all, it still needs to be verified by the academic community, but it seems to have become a fact."
These mathematical geniuses in the eyes of others have probably suffered all the blows they received in their previous lives.
As Lu Ping said, undergraduate mathematics basically studies things from hundreds of years ago. Although some of them are from a hundred years ago, no matter what, they are "learning" things created by others.
Even if you have a Ph. D. in mathematics, you may have studied content from the 20th century.
So there is a joke that studying biology is the most cost-effective, because you can learn things that were just published on SCN last week. If you study mathematics, you will never avoid things from thousands of years ago.
However, now Xiao Yi is already studying things at the forefront of mathematics.
They felt a huge gap.
"Liao, did you see that? This is what our USTC undergraduate students created. What do you say?"
On the other side, Hu Guangde laughed loudly, patted Liao Huan next to him, and started to smile.
Liao Huan had a black line on his face, and finally said, "That's also a Xiao Yi cow. What does it have to do with you?"
"Hey, just admit that Xiao Yi is awesome. Who told him to be from our school?" Hu Guangde said cheerfully.
Liao Huan stood up with a snap and faced Hu Guangde.
Hu Guangde raised his eyebrows. "What do you want? Fight?"
"Get out of the way, I have to go to the bathroom!"
"Are we going together?" Hu Guangde asked with a raised brow.
Liao Huan's eyes twitched, until after a moment, he finally broke out in silence. "You are awesome, okay?"
"Hey, I told you earlier!" Hu Guangde looked comfortable, and then gave up his seat to Liao Huan.
"Damn!!!"
In Oxford University's office, Professor Maynard let out a wail.
"Why did he stop here!"
"The next step is to prove the Elliott-Halberstam conjecture! Why does he want to study horse racing!!"
Maynard is full of resentment.
Elliott-Halberstam conjecture!
This is a question that he has been looking forward to for many years, and of course it is also a question that all Analytic Number Theory scholars have been looking forward to for many years.
Now that the answer is right in front of us, we now have to wait two more days!!
"It's all Fermat's fault! He left a bad atmosphere in our mathematical community!"
At this moment, the door of the office was opened, and his students walked in one by one, including Richman, who came to see his tutor to sign the final signature today.
However, what they never expected was that as soon as they entered the door, they would see their tutor criticizing the atmosphere of the mathematics community. Even the target of the criticism was...
Fermat?
Um?
Why is the atmosphere in the mathematics world related to Fermat, a man from hundreds of years ago?
"Professor, what are you talking about? Fermat... what's wrong?" Richman, as a newly graduated "senior brother", took on the responsibility of asking.
Maynard glanced at them, and then called his students in front of them and began to educate them, "I remind you, no matter what results you achieve in the future, don't imitate Fermat's idea that the space is too small and cannot be written. Otherwise, when you graduate and come to me to sign, then I can only say that the space where the signature is signed is too small and I cannot write."
Richman was suddenly sweating profusely, "Um, professor... I'm here to sign with you today..."
"Oh, Richman, you are lucky." Maynard glanced at Richman and said.
Richman breathed a sigh of relief.
But Maynard then said, "Fortunately you completed your defense yesterday, otherwise, just now, the θ value was pushed to 0.75, and the results of your graduation thesis are now outdated."
"Walter??" Richman was really sweating now.
