Excited Tao Zhexuan
“No!”
Cheng Hao took over the schedule from Professor Wiles.
There is a class schedule record on it. Cheng Hao took a look at it. There are actually not many classes. Basically, there are only two or three classes a week. It is not a waste of time.
“Okay! I got it!”
Professor Wiles smiled slightly. He looked at Cheng Hao in front of him and said, “By the way, where did your Goldbach conjecture go?”
Hearing Professor Wiles’ initiative to ask, Cheng HaoTell me about your general research direction and problems these days.
After listening to Cheng Hao’s narration, Professor Wiles’ eyes revealed a hint of thoughtfulness.
“About the integration of the circle method and the sieve method, you are not the only researcher. Many mathematicians have done some research in this area, and many people have even achieved certain achievements in this area.
But you should be the only one who tries to combine the circle method and group theory together! ”
Professor Wiles looked at Cheng Hao in front of him with admiration in his eyes.
“The circle method and the sieve method are enough for most mathematicians to study for a lifetime, and there is no way to successfully integrate them. How dare you introduce group theory into them? The difficulty is really too great!”
Hearing what Professor Wiles said, Cheng Hao said helplessly.
“No way, I just wanted to integrate group theory and sieve method at the beginning, but I found that the simple fusion of these two methods may not be enough to solve this problem, and some concepts in the circle method may also be used… ”
With that said, Cheng Hao shrugged.
“Your thinking, according to my intuition, the problem should not be big, but the problem now should be how you integrate the three.
I suggest looking at the manuscripts of Galois during his lifetime. You can find them in the Flint Library. Unfortunately, the Flint Library does not have Abel and Cauchy’s manuscripts. Otherwise, you should also gain something from looking at their manuscripts. ”
Galois is the founder of group theory, and it goes without saying that Cauchy, the creator of Cauchy’s inequality, Abel is also a well-known mathematician.
Professor Wiles’ words made Cheng Hao nod his head.
“I understand! Professor!”
With that said, the two discussed some possible directions of Goldbach’s conjecture and some ideas of Hodge’s conjecture.
Professor Wiles’ thinking is very sharp. Although he is a bit old now, Cheng Hao’s intuition about mathematics still surprises Cheng Hao very much.
Cheng Hao learned a lot from Wiles’ intuitive mathematical experience.
“Okay! Let’s stop here for today!”
Professor Wiles looked at Cheng Hao in front of him with a slight smile in his eyes and said.
“It’s incomparable to you young people. You can think faster, and you’re also very flexible and energetic!”
As he spoke, Professor Wiles looked at Cheng Hao with envy in his eyes. His eyes were full of emotion, as early as ten or twenty years ago.
He is also like this, but it’s a pity that now…
Cheng Hao bowed slightly towards Professor Wiles.
“Professor, I’ll go now!”
“Go!”
After Cheng Hao left the office, he didn’t go back to his dormitory directly. Instead, he went straight to the Flint Library and went directly to the third floor.
The old man on the third floor who is in charge of many mathematicians’ manuscripts already knows Cheng Hao, and it is not surprising to see Cheng Hao coming.
Helped Cheng Hao find Galois’s manuscripts before his death.
Cheng Hao didn’t leave the Flint Library until after nine o’clock in the evening, before the library closed.
Walking on the road to Princeton, Cheng Hao’s brows were tightly frowned, and there was a hint of contemplation in his eyes. To be honest, after reading Galois’s manuscripts before his death, Cheng Hao still gained a lot.
First of all, I have a deeper understanding of group theory itself.
It’s just about the difficulty of how to introduce group theory into the sieve method and the circle method.
Cheng Hao shook his head with a wry smile.
Disaster! Difficult!
Cheng Hao sighed slightly. After returning to the dormitory, Cheng Hao had a good sleep.
The next day, Cheng Hao just woke up when the phone next to him rang.
He was slightly taken aback and picked up the phone.
“Cheng Hao! You should be in Princeton by now, right?”
Cheng Hao was slightly taken aback when he heard this voice, but soon remembered that it was Tao Zhexuan’s voice.
“Yes, I’m here!”
“I’m at the gate of Nassau Hall! Come and find me, I seem to have found the key to solving Goldbach’s conjecture!”
Hearing the excitement in Tao Zhexuan’s tone, Cheng Hao was slightly startled.
“Okay! I’ll come right over!”
Cheng Hao looked serious. He got up quickly, washed up quickly, and walked towards Nassau Hall.
Soon, Cheng Hao met Tao Zhexuan for the first time at the gate of Nassau Hall, an old friend who had been emailing with him for a long time but had never seen each other.
“Hey! Cheng Hao!”
Tao Zhexuan recognized Cheng Hao at a glance. After all, Cheng Hao also recognized Tao Zhexuan at a glance.
The two were like old friends for many years, with smiles on their faces, and their hands were naturally held together.
“Let’s go! Let’s find a place to chat!”
Cheng Hao offered to propose.
Soon, Cheng Hao found a coffee shop in Princeton, and the two sat down in a remote corner.
Just sat down.
Tao Zhexuan couldn’t wait to look at the front of the city and said with excitement in his eyes: “Cheng Hao, I, I, I have found a way that is very likely to solve Goldbach’s conjecture!”
After speaking, Tao Zhexuan probably told Cheng Hao about his thoughts.
Cheng Hao frowned and listened for a while, occasionally asking his own questions in the middle.
After discussing for a while, a gleam of light flashed in Cheng Hao’s eyes.
“Your train of thought seems to be quite correct, but regarding the problem in Goldbach’s conjecture…”
The two had a heated discussion for quite a while. Regarding the details of Goldbach’s conjecture, the two discussed more and more in-depth.
The discussion continued until the cafe closed.The two went to the room of Tao Zhexuan in the Princeton Hotel to continue discussing this issue.
After discussing late at night, Cheng Hao returned to the dormitory.
The next day, the two met again at the old place to continue discussing Goldbach’s conjecture.
Regarding the progress of this issue, the two of them have made considerable progress compared to before. Basically, they have fully exchanged their previous research and ideas.
Until the third day.
The opinions of the two finally had a huge difference.
“Your path is problematic!”
Tao Zhexuan looked at the formula on the page in front of him, frowned and said to Cheng Hao in front of him.
“I can understand the introduction of group theory into the sieve method, which can definitely solve Goldbach’s conjecture, but I can’t understand it when you introduce the circle method into it. This is mathematics, and it doesn’t mean that the more things you introduce, the more you can Solve the problem!”
[Brothers, keep asking for gifts… Hey, it’s too difficult. There are far fewer people giving gifts now than before…]
