You've Changed; You Don't Like Showing Off Anymore (Third Update)
Shen Qi received the Ostrowski Prize and a prize of 100,000 Swiss francs.
The Grade A Ostrowski Prize contributed 900,000 academic points to Shen Qi, bringing his progress on Task Two to 4/5.
This is Shen Qi's ninth Math Prize in three years. Apart from the Abel Prize and the Wolf Prize, which are usually awarded only to the old man, Shen Qi has won most of the other major Math Prize.
As it turns out, the Riemann Hypothesis, one of the Millennium Prize Problem, is enough to sustain Shen Qi for a lifetime.
At 23, Shen Qi was still very young, and he was not content to rely on the Riemann Hypothesis for his entire life.
However, the significance of solving the Riemann Hypothesis and the resulting systematic new theoretical support cannot be denied.
Supported by the theory of prime distribution of the Riemann zeta function, Shen Qi naturally proved Goldbach Conjecture, proving this mathematical problem that had stumped mathematicians worldwide for over two hundred years.
Is that all it takes to be invincible?
Are you finding a worthy opponent?
Math overload?
No, that's not the case.
Shen Qi currently has no solutions to the remaining five Millennium Prize Problem and cannot handle them.
Aside from interdisciplinary problems such as the P versus NP problem, the Yang-Mi equation, and the Navier-Stokes equation, Shen Qi has not yet been able to solve purely mathematical problems Hodge conjecture and the BSD.
The Hodge conjecture is Algebraic Geometry problem, while the BSD is a number theory problem concerning Diophantine equation.
After dealing with Lê Conjecture, Shen Qi easily took care of Goldbach Conjecture, but he couldn't easily deal with BSD.
The road ahead is long and arduous, learning is endless, and the journey of upgrading will continue.
Invincible Loneliness is a lonely goal for everyone.
Shen Qi is a little lonely right now, but not extremely lonely.
At the academic exchange meeting following the award ceremony, Shen Qi chatted warmly with two friends. "Professor Kabrovsky, Professor Sabhasin, we meet again."
"Your progress is astonishing. Just over a year ago, you were a doctoral student at Princeton; now I should call you Professor Shen." Russian mathematician Kabrovsky, who received this year's Ostrowski Prize alongside Shen Qi, said this.
Kabrovsky was awarded the prize for his contributions to Numerical Analysis; he is also a number theorist.
In the first half of last year, an 11-member review panel led by Kabrovsky went to the United States and approved Shen Qi's proof of the Riemann Hypothesis.
From that moment on, Shen Qi soared to great heights. Six of the nine Math Prize he received came in the year or so following the jury's approval of the proof of the Riemann Hypothesis, including the highest honor, the Fields Medal.
Shen Qi was grateful to Kabrovsky: "Professor Kabrovsky, if I have the opportunity, I will definitely visit you in Moscow."
Professor Kabrovsky welcomed him, saying, "You're so young, you should come visit Moscow. Moscow is a paradise for young men."
"I can attest to that. I've been to Moscow three times, and each time I was captivated by it. In comparison, Manchester is utterly boring." Indian mathematician Sabhasin gave a knowing smile. He was a professor at the University of Manchester and had come all the way from England to attend this academic exchange.
At the Riemann Hypothesis review meeting more than a year ago, Sabhasin first made things difficult for Shen Qi, but later became a fan of Shen Qi. His evaluation of Shen Qi was: a person with a genius brain and devilish logic.
"So Professor Shen, it's truly remarkable that you've proven Goldbach Conjecture in just over six months." Sabhasin saw Shen Qi's paper on Goldbach Conjecture on arVix; in fact, the whole world had seen this paper, which had been published a week earlier.
"I conceived the idea for half a year and completed the draft within a week," Shen Qi said.
"Devil." Sabhasin uttered a single word, stunned.
"Now that the reminiscing is over, let's hear from Mr. Devil about his proof."
Kabrovsky and other mathematicians took their seats to listen to Shen Qi's report on the proof of the Goldbach Conjecture.
"I believe everyone has read my paper published on arVix. The eight lemmas form the framework, the eight definitions are the premises, the one equation is the core, and the four conjectures are the results." Shen Qi quickly got into his speech mode.
"Here, I will only focus on the proof of Goldbach Conjecture; the proofs of the other three conjectures will refer to Goldbach Conjecture."
"I'll briefly explain Lemma 8. The first seven lemmas are generally accepted correct propositions, while Lemma 8 is one I proved myself."
"Please look at the screen. According to Lemma 7, by contradiction, it is very intuitive to prove that if a is an algebraic number and θ is a transcendental number, then the product of a and θ, aθ, must be a transcendental number. This is Lemma 8."
"Next, I will focus on eight definitions and one core equation."
Definition 1: f(x) = ρx + b, let ρ ∈ Q, b ∈ z.
Definition 2: g(x) = 1 + Γ(x)/x + 1 + 1 + Γ(2n-x)/2n-x, let n ∈ Z+.
Definition 3: Let h(x) = cosβ(x) + sinβ(x) = cosg(x)π + isinf(x)π.
"Please note that the first three definitions are very important. If you remember the twin matching method in the Riemann Hypothesis and the second expression for ζ(s), then these first three definitions can support the core equation."
"Please see the core function's construction equation: cos(1+Γ(x)/x+1+Γ(2n-x)/2n-x)π+isin(ρx+b)π=-1"
."
Shen Qi finished speaking in one breath, then paused to drink some water, giving the mathematicians present some time to understand his line of thought.
"Clearly, finding the solution to the equation for this function is equivalent to proving Goldbach Conjecture 1+1," Professor Sabhasin said. In fact, he had already read Shen Qi's paper and knew that Shen Qi had found the solution to the equation.
Everyone wanted to hear Shen Qi say it himself: Yes, that's right, the solution to this equation is...
"Yes, that's right." Shen Qi finished his mineral water, feeling refreshed, and wanted to drink another bottle.
"Everyone will surely ask, 'Three definitions seem enough, so why did I define eight?'"
Shen Qi switched to the five definitions on the next page and said, "Europe is the center of world football, and everyone must enjoy watching football matches. In the most crucial moment, it's not safe for Chris Ronaldo to score three goals; he must score eight for Portugal to have any hope of defeating Spain."
Hehe.
The mathematicians laughed; they understood.
The academic exchange was conducted in a relaxed and harmonious atmosphere.
When Shen Qi was a doctoral student, even among doctoral students at Princeton, some people made things difficult for him, trying to embarrass him.
Shen Qi received nine Math Prize, one of which was the Fields Medal. All the mathematicians present could do was listen, offer objective opinions and questions, and engage in friendly exchanges and harmonious coexistence.
Status and respect must be earned through one's own efforts. Shen Qi calmly answered the mathematicians' questions, while many reporters waited outside the conference room.
