In four months, it has exceeded 1,000 citations. In terms of pure mathematical articles, the popularity represented by this number is probably the same as the popularity of a popular star's official announcement of love, which caused Weibo to be shut down.

All are of phenomenal popularity.

This time GMAS can also be combined with the Riemann Hypothesis, which is so hot that John Henry can't even imagine it.

Especially when he saw the corresponding author following the paper: "Qiao Yu*", John Henry's eyes lit up.

The founder of GMAS came out and submitted an article to JAMS for the first time, but he actually bumped into me.

So John Henry clicked the "Claim Paper" button immediately.

According to the internal allocation rules, during the initial review of papers, if the editor is on duty and finds that the paper is related to the subject direction he is responsible for, he can give priority to "snatching" the paper.

After grabbing it, I left a note: "This document involves number theory and generalized modal systems, which is exactly in line with my relevant expertise. I will be responsible for the preliminary review and editing."

For a senior editor within a journal, it is also very meaningful to grab a paper that can become a hit and follow the entire review, editing and final publication process.

For example, he can not only understand the content of the paper and the evaluation of the paper by the big guys in the industry at the first time, but also directly communicate with the corresponding author, that is, Qiao Yu himself, through email about this paper.

Isn't this a rare opportunity for in-depth academic exchanges? It would be even better if a personal friendship can be established.

After all, there are so many manuscripts about generalized axiomatic systems, and it is difficult to find suitable reviewers. There is no doubt that Qiao Yu is one of the most suitable reviewers.

But the entire journal circle knows that when these kind of review requests are sent to Qiao Yu, they are basically rejected. It is still a template rejection.

"Thank you for your love, but I am still young and still learning. I am not suitable to take on the responsibility of a reviewer for the time being, and it is difficult to give a pertinent and effective evaluation."

In addition, publishing such a paper is equivalent to personally taking charge of the publication process of a top-level paper, which is also a career highlight.

In the future, if he stops working at JAMS and changes to another journal, he will be able to use this as an argument.

Finally, after he finished the operation, the prompt box "This paper is now assigned to John" popped up on the computer.

John Henry felt satisfied.

But before he could download the paper and read it carefully, the phone next to him rang.

As soon as I answered the phone, I heard an angry voice coming from the phone.

"John, did you snatch Qiao Yu's paper?"

John Henry could certainly recognize the voice of his mentor at MIT, Larry Guth.

As a former student of Professor Guth, he knew better that Larry Guth had been studying the Riemann Hypothesis with Professor James Maynard from his alma mater over the years.

In the past two years, the two professors have made certain breakthroughs in their research on the Riemann Hypothesis. More specifically, they have used more precise methods to improve their understanding of zero-point distribution and large-value behavior.

This is a theoretically crucial result, because from a number theory perspective, this result provides a more powerful basis for further studying the core properties of the Riemann zeta function, verifying the Riemann conjecture, and studying a wider range of number theory issues.

Basic tools.

John Henry also went back to listen to the lecture. The two big guys did introduce new methods, including more accurate Taylor expansion technology, estimation of higher-order derivatives, and improved analytic continuation technology...

But obviously this is still far from completely solving the problem of the Riemann Hypothesis. But then again, the work of the two has also been extended to other Dirichlet series.

At the same time, his mentor seemed to be a member of the editorial board, so John Henry was not surprised at all when he received this call.

"Yes, Professor Gus, I just saw this paper posted and immediately claimed it. You know, I am definitely not the only one staring at the background at this time."

John Henry said quite excitedly.

"Yes, I just planned to receive this article, but it disappeared as soon as I refreshed it. Your hand speed is very fast! But you'd better be faster in the first review. James and I can be the reviewers of this paper."

Well, John Henry was quite proud of having snatched the right of preliminary review from his tutor. He even felt that he was definitely more qualified than his tutor to first review Qiao Yu's paper.

Although his mentor and Professor James Maynard have been studying the Riemann Hypothesis over the years, their research on the generalized modal axiom system may not be as thorough as his.

For this kind of interdisciplinary article that combines the two, the first review requires someone like him who knows something about both.

"Don't worry, Professor Gus. In fact, the first two reviewers that came to mind after I grabbed this article were you and Professor James. I will do it as soon as possible."

Sure enough, hard-working birds are always rewarded.

After hanging up the phone with his tutor, John Henry downloaded the paper directly. He had no choice but to do it because his tutor asked him to hurry up, so he still had to give him some respect.

Soon John Henry fell into the wonderful world of papers. Qiao Yu's paper reminded him of a legendary story in the mathematics world about the Riemann Hypothesis.

This story is probably an accidental exchange between Hugh Montgomery and the famous physicist Dyson, and then they discovered that the same universal law that controls random matrices and atomic spectra also applies to the ζ function.

This is also supported numerically by a large amount of computational work since the 1980s.

At that time, the two people came up with the same formula in different ways. The physicist Dyson came up with this company through the study of energy levels in matrix mathematics, while Hugh Montgomery studied the prime number portrait of the correlation function...

Of course, this doesn't mean anything. At most, it can only show that some laws are indeed universal, and extends to a related conjecture - the Gaussian unitary set conjecture:

The non-trivial zero point distribution of the Riemann zeta function has the same statistical properties as the eigenvalue distribution of the Gaussian unitary matrix in random matrix theory.

Qiao Yu started with two formulas with similar structures and gradually verified some isomorphism between the distribution of modal points and the zero-point distribution of the Riemann zeta function.

Although this constructive geometric method is different from Montgomery and Dyson's statistical law research, they both reveal certain universal laws in essence.
