Chapter 400: What is this kid Qin Ke doing?(1/2)
At this time, there were more than 300 general students watching the excitement. Many people held beers and torches and cheered loudly. Some asked Qin Ke to drink. There were even enthusiastic female students who blew kisses at Qin Ke and threw out words.
Small paper ball with Facebook account and mobile phone number.
But Qin Ke still turned a deaf ear and turned a blind eye, but his steps became slower and slower, and his eyes began to wander around, as if he was looking for something.
Sun Liwen had seen a similar scene. He thrust a thick notebook and two pens into Chen Ming's hands and said hurriedly: "Quickly, give these to Qin Ke, and then...then take him to the bar! We've made a reservation
Take your seat!"
As he spoke, he raised the small camera and pointed it at Qin Ke.
Chen Ming didn't know why, but he still stepped forward and handed over the notebook and pen. Qin Ke, whose eyes were unfocused, was like a cheetah seeing its prey. He reached out and took it. Chen Ming pointed to the bar: "Book a table over there, go
Drink some wine to warm yourself up..."
Before he could finish speaking, Qin Ke had already trotted in, without looking for a seat. He stood directly at the bartending bar, holding a pen, spread out his notebook, and bent down to write.
Qin Ke really didn't have the time or energy to talk nonsense anymore. He felt that his physical energy and energy were rapidly draining away. He could only maintain this "inspiration amplification" state for half an hour at most. He had to use the inspiration he just grabbed within half an hour to
Solve both of these propositions!
…
This "Tiger Bar" is quite famous in Putian. It does not have popular heavy metal music or messy lights. It only has relatively petty bourgeoisie light music, beer, red wine, and a softly lit dance floor.
Therefore, many older professors and quiet students like to have a few drinks here, chat and even exchange academic issues.
Qin Ke suddenly opened the door and barged in, then stood in the bar and started writing without saying a word, which attracted the attention of many customers.
Next to the bar, a man who looked like a middle-aged professor reached out to take the cocktail. He glanced at Qin Ke in surprise. Seeing that he was an Asian, he snorted with some disdain. He was about to get up and walk away when his eyes accidentally fell on Qin Ke's writing.
When the calculation came out, I couldn't help but let out a soft "Huh" sound and sat down again.
Not far away, Academician Wang Xiaoyun, who had just finished the dinner, brought his student Jiang Yimin, and the editor-in-chief of the "Annals of Mathematics" Gerd Faltings, the editor-in-chief Hank Andrew, as well as the guest mathematician from Pudong University
Professor Elon Lindenstrauss was sitting in this bar drinking and chatting happily.
I won’t mention the editor-in-chief, Andrew. He is a senior professor in the Department of Mathematics at Princeton University. His main field of study is algebraic geometry. He is also good at topology, group theory, general analysis and other sub-fields. He is very famous in the international mathematics community.
Professor Faltings is even more awesome. He is the most famous mathematician in the German mathematics community and a top genius. At the age of 29, he used algebraic geometry methods to prove the Model's conjecture in number theory, and at the age of 32, he won the Ph.D.
This is the award.
He once taught at Princeton University for a long time and later worked at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. He is currently the editor-in-chief of the Annals of Mathematics and the director of the Max Planck Institute of Mathematics. He is the most authoritative person in the field of algebraic geometry and number theory in the international mathematical community.
One of the experts.
Faltings also has an identity, that is, he is a core member of the International Mathematical Union and one of the initiators and organizers of this year’s Princeton University Annual Academic Report.
Elon Lindenstrauss is the youngest among the big guys. He is only in his early 50s this year, but he has made remarkable achievements in number theory.
At the age of 40, he successfully won the Fields Medal for his "ergodic theory" and "additive number theory".
Linden Strauss once taught at Princeton University for a long time and is currently a professor of mathematics at Hebrew University. However, he still holds the title of visiting professor at Princeton University and comes back from time to time to give lectures and reports. This time, Princeton University’s annual academic conference
During the report meeting, he also took the stage to give a one-hour academic report on January 3.
Jiang Yimin sat next to several big guys. He would be lying if he said he wasn't nervous. No matter the status of any of the three big guys was lower than that of his mentor, Academician Wang Xiaoyun, and the advanced mathematics topics of the big guys were beyond him.
I couldn't get anything to say at all, so I could only sit with him with an awkward and impolite smile.
So he was the first to discover Qin Ke.
He noticed Qin Ke as soon as he opened the door and came in. Just as he was thinking about saying hello, he saw Qin Ke quickly walking to the wine table, and then started writing with a serious look on his face.
Jiang Yimin noticed that Qin Ke was panting. When he walked in, there was even a light mist on his down jacket and hair due to the large temperature difference between indoors and outdoors.
Jiang Yimin was stunned. Qin Ke didn't look like he was here to drink.
"What's wrong?" Academician Wang Xiaoyun asked when he saw the students were distracted.
"Academician Wang, Qin Ke is here."
Academician Wang Xiaoyun looked in the direction Jiang Yimin pointed, and it turned out to be Qin Ke. He couldn't help but shook his head and said with a smile: "Qin Ke, this kid, he hasn't seen anyone in a few days, why did he suddenly come here?"
Professor Andrew was also quite familiar with Qin Ke. He observed Qin Ke and said with a smile: "I see Qin is writing something, but I don't know what to write?"
Lindenstrauss also looked over there in surprise and asked: "Qin ke? Is he the genius student who proved the twin prime conjecture?"
Professor Andrew nodded and smiled: "That's him. I believe that after tomorrow, the twin prime number conjecture will officially become the 'twin prime number-Qin Theorem'."
Generally speaking, for such a world-class conjecture, as long as the prover is willing, the prover's last name will be added before the name of the theorem, so Professor Andrew said this.
Faltings looked at the overly young Xiaguo student in the distance with great interest, and said loudly: "I have also read his paper, it is a very good proof."
Academician Wang Xiaoyun still had a good impression of Qin Ke, a talented student from Qingmu. It was rare that the big guys at his desk gathered together, so he introduced Qin Ke to him, so he said to Jiang Yimin: "Yimin, go and see what this kid is doing.
What, if he is free, bring him over and have a drink together."
Jiang Yimin was envious in his heart. This was a great help. He quickly stood up and walked over.
At this time, the bartender at the bar also came over to ask Qin Ke what he was drinking. Sun Liwen arrived first. He took out a large amount of money from his coat and handed it over: "Don't disturb him, just give us three beers, thank you."
."
The bartender was puzzled, but he had seen a lot of weirdos in Putali. As long as the money was genuine, it was fine, so he didn't say much and gave him the beer after taking the money.
Sun Liwen didn't drink beer either, he just stood next to Qin Ke and raised the camera to take pictures.
Jiang Yimin, who was approaching, looked at Sun Liwen strangely, as well as Chen Ming and Zheng Haiqiao, who stood quietly behind Qin Ke, and wondered, what are these guys doing?
He did know Sun Liwen, and when he was about to ask, Sun Liwen made a gesture of silence and pointed at Qin Ke, signaling not to disturb Qin Ke.
Jiang Yimin became more curious and leaned over to see what Qin Ke was writing.
The large notebook was opened, and Qin Ke's pen tip quickly sketched out lines of calculations on the paper. His eyes were dazzled by the complex mathematical symbols.
Fortunately, Jiang Yimin's research direction when he was a graduate student was function theory and number theory. It was only when he was a Ph.D. student that he switched to cryptography with Academician Wang. It was obvious very quickly.
He almost cried out in surprise. Damn it, Qin Ke is studying Mersenne primes?!
At this time, a large group of students from the General University opened the door and walked out laughing. These students had been paying attention to Qin Ke running in circles. When they saw Qin Ke suddenly stopped running and entered the bar, they also followed in curiously. Many people even thought
Befriended Qin Ke.
The one walking in the front was the burgundy-haired female student Frieda. She pointed at Qin Ke and said with a smile: "That Xia Guo student named Qin Ke is writing at the bar. Ha, he won't really be...
I'm right, he came up with some inspiration to prove which world conjecture, right?"
All the students burst into laughter.
"Frieda, are you going to continue this unfunny joke?"
"Yes, but this Qin Ke is really a bit weird. He didn't drink after running, but he actually started writing something?"
In sharp contrast to the bustle at the door of the bar, Qin Ke was surrounded by silence.
The guests who were sitting near Qin Ke subconsciously stopped their voices when they saw Qin Ke's concentration and seriousness.
The professor-looking man who was less than forty years old was still sitting at the bar with a chicken feather wine, but he completely forgot to drink it. He stared motionlessly at the calculation written by Qin Ke, and the look of shock on his face became more and more intense.
.
Perhaps the silence was too eerie, or perhaps the middle-aged professor's expression was too solemn. Even the bartender quietly moved away, which made more and more people pay attention to Qin Ke.
The hook-nosed Borzigite suddenly clenched his fists and walked over without saying a word. He was relatively tall, and the bar counter of Tiger Bar was only about 1.2 meters. Qin Ke bent down to write quickly, so he would not be blocked.
Borzigit's sight.
The other students were still laughing and joking, but when they saw Borzigit staring at him for a while, his eyes opened wider and wider, with a shocked look as if he had seen a ghost. Everyone couldn't help but look at each other, and slowly they could no longer laugh anymore.
Several students couldn't help but be curious and crowded over.
Chen Ming and Zheng Haiqiao had been standing behind Qin Ke, protecting him calmly, and at the same time scanning the students. As long as these people did not encounter Qin Ke, they would naturally not be able to disperse to avoid causing trouble.
The students looked at it for a while and then withdrew with strange expressions.
A group of general university students asked in a low voice: "What's wrong? What is Qin Ke writing?"
The silence on Qin Ke's side made them all lower their voices.
"...He is writing calculations related to Mersenne prime numbers, but I can't tell what he is doing specifically."
The students looked at each other in confusion again. The speaker was quite famous among them and was also an outstanding person among the graduate students in the Department of Mathematics at Pudong University. How could such an outstanding person say that he could not see what Qin Ke was doing?
At this time, Jiang Yimin had quietly retreated to the side of Academician Wang Xiaoyun, and all the big bosses' eyes immediately fell on him.
"What the hell is this kid Qin Ke doing?" Academician Wang Xiaoyun asked with a smile.
Jiang Yimin hesitated and said in a low voice, uncertainly: "Qin Ke... Qin Ke seems to be demonstrating whether there are infinite Mersenne primes..."
Academician Wang Xiaoyun, Faltings, Andrew, and Linden-Strauss looked at each other, all showing surprise.
None of these big guys are unfamiliar with Mersenne primes.
It has been almost four hundred years since the concept of Mersenne primes was introduced. Mathematicians studying number theory all over the world will almost never ignore special prime numbers such as Mersenne primes and Fermat primes, especially the finite number of Mersenne primes.
There are still infinite problems, and they have been debated for centuries, but so far, even with the help of supercomputers, we can only find the 51st Mersenne prime number, and no one can prove it, or can come up with a reasonable and convincing one.
Conjecture, guess whether the Mersenne prime numbers are finite or infinite.
Now Qin Ke, a freshman, actually wants to challenge such a proposition?
Andrew was the first to stand up and said with a smile: "This miracle boy has even proved the twin prime conjecture. It doesn't seem impossible to solve this proposition. Let me go and have a look."
To be continued...
