I Just Want to Be a Quiet Top Student

"Group theory and functional analysis are interrelated. Ralph, you are very hardworking and smart. I will give you an A." Shen Qi praised Ralph.

"Thank you." Ralph was encouraged. He suddenly remembered something and asked, "Professor Shen, have you watched arVix these two days?"

"No, what's the matter, what major event happened in the mathematics world?" Shen Qi said while operating the mouse to enter the arVix webpage.

"Look for yourself, I'm a rookie in the field of number theory, so I'm going first, bye." Ralph said goodbye politely, and left Shen Qi's office.

Shen Qi soon discovered the "big event". There was a paper hanging in the most conspicuous position of the arVix mathematics section, with a concise title: "Proof of Goldbach's Conjecture".

The author of "Proof of Goldbach's Conjecture" is an unknown Korean scholar. The abstract of this paper is very eye-catching. The author declares in the abstract that he has proved Goldbach's conjecture, twin prime conjecture, Polynia K conjecture, Guy conjecture.

"Awesome." Shen Qi continued to read the paper. These four conjectures are a gang, and the leader is Ge Guai. If Ge Guai is solved, the other three conjectures can be easily proved.

In the introduction, the Korean author mentioned that based on the "Theoretical System of Riemann Zeta Function Prime Number Distribution" by Professor Shen Qi of Princeton, he innovated a "quadruplet prime number proof method", and finally proved Goldbach's conjecture, twin The prime number conjecture, Polignac's conjecture, and Guy's conjecture.

"Really show, quadruplet primes, that's more twins than twin primes."

Shen Qi firmly believes that with the support of his "Riemann Zeta Function Prime Number Distribution Theoretical System", one day someone will prove his guess.

When interviewed by the media, Shen Qi expressed his attitude, he hoped that all the people in the world who are interested in Gechai would attack Gechai.

Unexpectedly, it was not those well-known masters of number theory who proved Ge Guess first, but a lesser-known Korean scholar.

Shen Qi was curious about the "quadruplet prime number proof method" mentioned by Korean scholars in the introduction, so he entered the main text to review this new proof method in detail.

After 10 minutes, Shen Qi couldn't help laughing: "Quadruplet prime number proof method, what the hell?"

Shen Qi had a feeling of being deceived. He was attracted by the title and abstract of the Korean author, but the argumentation in the main text was full of loopholes. The "quadruplet prime number proof method" was invented by the Korean author himself, and it was not logically self-consistent. Qualified product.

A stone stirs up thousands of waves, suddenly like a spring breeze overnight.

In the next period of time, a large number of papers on Ge Guess emerged on arVix, and dozens of authors claimed that they proved Ge Guess.

This reminded Shen Qi of China in the 1970s and 1980s. A large number of folk mathematics enthusiasts came to Beijing with sacks on their backs. Everyone's lines were almost the same: I proved Goldbach's conjecture 1+1 problem.

Shen Qi read all dozens of papers on Ge Guess's proof in one day, and in his opinion, none of them passed.

At the same time, Shen Qi's mailbox receives many new emails with attachments every day.

Attachments are mostly in PDF format, and there are also editable LaTex files.

"Is this world crazy? I expect you to launch an effective attack on Brother Chai, it's not a whimsical fabrication."

Shen Qi hurriedly notified the IT team in charge of Princeton's official website maintenance, and asked the IT team to modify his profile on the official website and delete his email address.

Ding!

"You have a new email."

Shen Qi received another new email. The sender claimed to be a middle school math teacher in Texas. He wrote in the text of the email:

"Dear Professor Shen Qi, I bought "History of Number Theory" written by you, and got inspiration from your theoretical system of Riemann zeta function prime number distribution, and finally proved Goldbach's conjecture."

"Please see the attachment for the paper proving Goldbach's conjecture. This great cause is your credit, so your name should appear in the paper."

"Of course, this requires your consent, and I look forward to your reply."

Shen Qi clicked on the attachment of the thesis of the Texas math teacher, and there was another genius who claimed to have proved Ge Guess, but the thesis of the genius was also unqualified.

Americans attach great importance to email communication, and it is impolite to not reply to emails.

Shen Qi replied to the Texas mathematics teacher: "Dear Mr. Mills, your paper does not have any credit for me. It is inappropriate for me to appear in the list of authors of the paper. Good luck."

Coffee time on Wednesdays in the math department.

Big guys get together.

Director Fefferman spoke first: "Recently, there has been a chaos in the mathematics world. A large number of papers that do not require reviewers to review are published on the Internet. Goldbach's conjecture 1+1 problem has become a 1+1 problem. It seems to be as simple as 1+1=2, people who have studied mathematics all over the world can prove this difficult problem, yes, they did it.”

The rest of the bosses laughed helplessly, and what Director Fefferman said was ironic.

After laughing, Professor Linden-Strauss said seriously: "Princeton is obliged to maintain the normal order of the international mathematics community and a pragmatic academic style."

Princeton's mathematics bosses are so tough, they are so concerned about the country and the people, and the whole world. Professor Shen Qi expressed his opinion: "The unhealthy atmosphere must be stopped in time, and Princeton must stand up to bring the world back to peace."

Professor Faltings agrees: "The only effective way to end the mess is to give a correct proof of Goldbach's conjecture."

Several Filipino awards leaders reached a high degree of consensus to set things right and rectify the atmosphere. This is the unshirkable responsibility of Princeton.

"Qi, what have you been up to lately?" Director Fefferman asked.

"Charles, you know, I'm going to do a Ph.D. in physics at the Institute for Advanced Study." Shen Qi said.

Director Fefferman said as a matter of course: "Maybe you can spare some time to solve Goldbach's conjecture. I don't think it will take much of your time, can it?"

"It's not difficult to solve Goldbach's conjecture smoothly." Shen Qi had a general idea of ​​Goldbach's conjecture when he completed the proof of the third expression of RT more than half a year ago.

Director Fefferman handed Shen Qi a cup of coffee: "Qi, it's time to solve Goldbach's conjecture smoothly."

"I said at the International Congress of Mathematicians last October that with the establishment of the Riemann zeta function prime number distribution theoretical system, Goldbach's conjecture will be solved in the near future, but more than half a year has passed, and no one Really solve the Goldbach conjecture." Shen Qi was a little disappointed.

"If I personally prove Goldbach's conjecture, I will be very unwilling. This shows that the theoretical system of the Riemann zeta function prime number distribution has not been truly understood by the world. In my mind, the system is far more important than the individual case." Shen Qi said Out of the reason, why didn't he prove the reason of brother guess immediately after Li guess.
