Chapter 364 Wonderful



The thorough treatment of garbage and water pollution has brought about tremendous changes to the entire city. As the capital of a country, Shangjing welcomes visitors from all over the world with a vibrant vitality.

For those who are just passing through on a short flight, or those who will live here for a long time without traveling, the residents who are experiencing the gradual changes do not have a clear perception of them. At most, they feel that the environment at their doorstep is cleaner.

However, for those who come to Shangjing once in a while, the sensory contrast is the most obvious. Every time they come, they feel that Shangjing seems to have changed a lot. Now it has the beautiful water scenery of the north and south of the Yangtze River, which is something Shui Ye had never imagined before.

On August 10th, the ABC Conjecture Symposium was held as scheduled. The auditorium opened its doors, and security checks were in place to welcome the arrival of leading and renowned mathematicians.

The Great Hall was equipped with numerous overt and covert security measures to ensure that any incidents could be handled with lightning speed. For this event, only guests with verified electronic invitations were allowed entry; anyone with any discrepancies in their information would be denied entry.

At nine o'clock, all the participants were present, waiting for the conference to begin. For such a grand event, the scholars who had participated many times were almost familiar with it. There was no need for on-site adjustment. When the time came, the whole place immediately fell silent, waiting for the protagonist of the academic conference to appear.

"Thank you all for coming all the way here. This academic seminar on proving the ABC conjecture is officially underway. Let's get straight to the point!" Time was set, and Wu Tong took the stage. After a slight bow, he got straight to the point. Since they were all old friends, there was no need for excessive small talk. He just wanted to get down to business; that was what they were waiting for.

“Let a, b, c∈N, where a+b=c and (a, b)=1, … there exists only a finite set of triples (a, b, c) satisfying the following inequality: …”

"The condition ε> 0 is necessary here because rad(abc)

"From this fact we have that . . . when 6n is replaced by another exponent so that b has a large square factor, the ratio between the root and c can be made arbitrarily small. When p is a prime number greater than 2: . . . "

"Based on BOINC distributed computing... that is, it uses distributed computing to exhaustively search for (a, b, c) triples that satisfy the ABC conjecture until c<=10, that is, to satisfy the requirement c=a+b, a

From this, we can be sure that the ABC conjecture is true!"

When the proof was established and Wu Tong said it confidently, it seemed that the scholars in the audience were not surprised by the result of the proof, especially the top international scholars in the front row. They had already verified and understood Wu Tong's proof themselves, and now they understood it even more deeply after listening to the academic report in person. They were actually very sure of the result of the proof.

When Wu Tong finished her academic report, almost instantly, a thunderous applause filled the entire conference hall, and all the participants stood up. This was a sign of respect and gratitude to the leader of the report on the stage and the prover of the ABC conjecture, and to thank her for the progress she has brought to the academic community.

The debate question-and-answer session was conducted with Wu Tong answering questions and resolving doubts.

The real challenge for many presenters is the question-and-answer session. However, for Wu Tong, it is the easiest time because no one can find any mistakes in her logic, which can be said to be perfect at the moment.

Several number theory experts asked a few simple questions before sitting back down. Immediately afterwards, many raised their hands, asking Wu Tong to help them understand any questions they hadn't yet fully grasped.

"What a perfect proof, so beautiful that it makes people sigh. It is really a wonderful enjoyment to listen to Wu Tong's academic report in person!" Terence Tao leaned comfortably on the back of his chair and sighed with Shing-Tung Yau beside him.

"There will be another one tomorrow. We will be able to listen to two such high-quality academic lectures in succession. This year is really a feast for our ears!" Qiu Chengtong said with emotion. The little kid who sat in the audience, listened to his lectures and asked him questions in the past, proved the NS-equation in the blink of an eye. Now, in just one year, the ABC conjecture and the Millennium Problem BSD conjecture have been solved by her. She is truly a young talent and her youth is admirable!

"Wu's question-and-answer sessions always turn into questions and answers. This seems to have become Wu's routine!" Andrew tilted his head and sighed to Deligne, "Wu is always so approachable. Answering these questions is as simple as one plus one equals two for her!"

"That's Wu's charm. Isn't mathematics advanced because of it?" Deligne asked. If there were no one to guide them, everyone would hoard their knowledge and not share it with the world, and there wouldn't be the progress and glory of mathematics today. "Andrew, you should be more patient!" They were all teaching and passing on knowledge.

"Sure enough, I had to reluctantly attend Mr. Wu's lecture!" Li Yisheng spread his hands and whispered to Xu Chenyang with a hint of regret. They were actually one of the first group to come into contact with Wu Tong's thesis, and they were the first to study it as a correct thesis.

However, there are too many difficult points in the mathematical field involved. Perhaps the masters can fully understand these two masterpieces by spending a week. However, for them, who are at the level of shrimp, ten days is still a bit short. He has read many editions and listened to the live broadcast to the end, but still feels that it is beyond his brain capacity!

This almost made him doubt his own math skills!

However, he was somewhat confident enough to understand that it was not that his math skills were too poor, but that the gap between him and Wu Tong was too big!

In just three years, Wu Tong had left him far behind, leaving him no trace. Or, in other words, this achievement had already been achieved when Wu Tong proved Zhou's conjecture!

With his rather mediocre abilities, it was unbelievable that Wu Tong easily surpassed him! Li Yisheng spread his hands, not feeling too much emotion. Instead, he was filled with pride. He had single-handedly discovered Wu Tong, had insisted on getting him into Peking University, and had followed and witnessed his progress all the way!

"Just keep a normal mind. It's normal that we can't compare to Mr. Wu!" Xu Chenyang said with a smile. He was a little better than Li Yishen because he had done some research in advance. Coupled with Mr. Wu's narration and explanation, he basically understood the overall idea of the proof of the ABC conjecture. He would go back and savor and ponder the details slowly.

As for tomorrow's BSD conjecture, he'd likely be in the same state as Professor Li was. After all, he was still a long way from reaching the top international levels. Understanding two world-class works in ten days was a nerve-wracking experience for him, too. However, their direct participation in Mr. Wu's academic conference had yielded significant gains.
