The content of this email is different from all other emails.

The sender of this email is also a stranger who has never met with Chen Zhou.

However, in the field of number theory, Chen Zhou and this stranger are both called young genius mathematicians.

However, unlike Chen Zhou, who has solved the number theory problem one after another in the past two years.

This stranger seemed a little silent.

Of course, the silence here refers to academic achievements.

Rather than a comparison of the math awards won by the two.

Because, in the past two years, this stranger has won the sastra Ramanujin Award, the Whitehead Award of the London Mathematics Society, and the European Mathematics Society, etc.

This is much stronger than Chen Zhou's ability to win awards.

Although Chen Zhou at this time is enough to match the awards of the Ramanujin Award.

However, people did not send a notice or told Chen Zhou to win the award, so Chen Zhou naturally couldn't ask for one by himself.

Chen Zhou frowned slightly and read the email again.

Chen Zhou suddenly remembered something, as if the most popular candidates for this year's Cole Number Theory Award was this person.

Unfortunately, it has been confirmed by many sources.

The Kohl number theory award should have been intercepted by himself.

This genius mathematician in the field of number theory has not continued his own way to win awards.

If you want to win the Cole Number Theory Award, you probably have to wait for the next session.

"James Maynard..."

Chen Zhou whispered the name and thought about how to reply to this email from his competitor.

This is the name of the stranger, a young British mathematician.

Speaking of James Maynard, he may not be as irresistible as Tao Zhexuan.

However, he received his master's degree from Cambridge University at the age of 22 and his PhD degree from Oxford University at the age of 26.

That is, at the age of 26, he reduced the upper limit of the prime interval from 70 million to 600 in the twin prime conjecture.

The results of Zhang Yitang's previous proof were greatly optimized.

It is also based on James Maynard's method, and a team reduced the prime interval to 246.

Moreover, based on this method, it is speculated that the prime number interval can be smaller.

It can be said that James Maynard's approach has brought about a milestone breakthrough.

So much so that James Maynard was praised by Tao Zhexuan himself: "To be honest, his description method is actually cleaner than mine... The facts have proved that his method is slightly stronger..."

As for why Tao Zhexuan said these words of praise, it was because in almost the same time, Tao Zhexuan on the other side of the ocean also came to basically the same result on the same issue.

According to media reports? James Maynard had just graduated from a doctorate at this time and was just a postdoctoral fellow who was not very famous.

With Tao Zhexuan's status and fame at that time? It is possible to publish this research with James Maynard.

But? out of the desire to cherish talent, Tao Zhexuan gave up this opportunity.

He was afraid that his fame would cover up the achievements of the young mathematician.

These words were said by Tao Zhexuan during an interview.

And it turns out that James Maynard does have endless potential.

His great progress in the field of number theory has made him famous in the years since his Ph.D.

He has also won many mathematics awards and is one of the popular candidates for this year's Cole Number Theory Award.

Of course, what James Maynard relies on is definitely not a further proof of the twin prime conjecture.

After all? After Chen Zhou solved the Jiebov conjecture, the twin prime conjecture had been completely solved by Tao Zhexuan and Zhang Yitang.

In the face of such final results? Any progress in the process is no longer important.

James Maynard relies on the duffin-schaeffer conjecture? This problem that has troubled mathematicians for nearly 80 years.

Why do you say Zeng?

It's because James Maynard has successfully solved the duffin-schaeffer conjecture.

The duffin-schaeffer conjecture is an important conjecture in measuring the approximation of Diophant diagrams? It was proposed by physicist richard and mathematician albert schaeffer in 1941.

Diopan's approximation? It is a branch of number theory? It studies the use of rational numbers to approximate real numbers.

Simply put, most real numbers are irrational numbers such as π and √2.

They cannot be expressed by fractions.

So, richard    duffin and albert    schaeffer put forward a conjecture.

Assume f:n→r≥0 is a real-valued function with a positive value, only if the series q=1→∞∑f(q)φ(q)/q=∞ is divergent.

That is, q>0, φ(q) is an Euler function, indicating the number of positive integers smaller than q and coefficient with q.

For the irrational number α, there are infinitely many rational numbers that satisfy the inequality|α-(p/q)|

In other words, when looking for approximate values, we do not consider the numerator first, but select infinite numbers from natural numbers as denominators.

Then, based on the denominator sequence and the specified approximate accuracy range, the numerator is selected.

The result is that if infinite series diverge, it means that all irrational numbers have been approximated.

Otherwise, no approximation to any irrational number is achieved.

This conjecture is generally considered by mathematicians to be the correct criterion in reasonable approximation.

But how to prove it has become a problem that has plagued mathematicians for nearly 80 years.

Until James Maynard and his collaborators proved this conjecture in one fell swoop with a 44-page paper.

Therefore, James Maynard has received praise from many mathematicians.

Among them, this naturally also includes Tao Zhexuan, who gave up the signature of the paper because of his talent.

In fact, although the duffin-schaeffer conjecture seems simple, it actually touches on the profound properties of natural number systems and is a milestone open problem in number theory.

This is also the biggest reason why James Maynard is the hottest candidate for this Cole Number Theory Award.

But unfortunately, he met the monster Chen Zhou.

In one year, three world-class mathematical conjectures were eliminated in a row.

But this also includes one of the two most important conjectures in the problem of prime number interval, the Dypov conjecture.

More than that, Chen Zhou's mathematical tool to solve the Jiebov conjecture, that is, the distribution deconstruction method.

It also played a crucial role in solving the twin prime conjecture of Tao Zhexuan and Zhang Yitang.

There is nothing I can do about this.

Just one, James Maynard may be able to compete.

But overall, James Maynard is not comparable.

Therefore, this competitor who had never met before praised Chen Zhou's work in the field of number theory and Chen Zhou's achievements in the email.

In addition, James Maynard also said that he is also studying the distribution deconstruction method used by Chen Zhou.

In addition, James Maynard believes that although the two are direct competitors of the Cole Number Theory Award.
