Alvin sighed deeply, "I'll report this to the higher-ups and let the experts make the final decision. This is beyond our ability to judge!"
We can't just let him worry about it. Pioneers like them can only be regarded as the newcomers in the mathematics community. They have to do trivial work such as booking venues, arranging venues, contacting presenters to chase manuscripts, checking formats, etc. As for reviewing, that is the job of the top guys in the mathematics committee!
He could foresee that those big guys would be as shocked and troubled as he was.
Originally, they had just wanted Wu Tong to compile the results of the twin prime conjecture and submit a report, which would have been a very good report. Who could have imagined that this genius's thinking was clearly different from theirs, and he would actually drop such a bombshell on them—a super heavyweight new result?
Whether this result is truly proven or a genius's pride has stumbled, the experts above them will have to work overtime to verify it. With less than twenty days until the conference opens, this 70-80 page paper is giving those experts a headache!
As for the result, if it passes, it will shock the world and witness the rise and birth of a miracle; if it is falsified, this genius will face the ridicule of the whole world and miss the opportunity and honor of attending the World Congress of Mathematicians.
He actually hoped it would pass. Firstly, it would bring him glory for following up on it personally. Secondly, he would have to contact a new reporter again, which would undoubtedly be a disaster!
Professor John Bowles, the chief of the organizing committee for this International Congress of Mathematicians, had just finished his breakfast and was feeling that he was getting much less sleep than when he was young as he was getting older.
I looked out the floor-to-ceiling window and saw the sun shining brightly with golden rays.
Just as he woke up in the morning, he could already see the sunny weather, a beauty rarely seen even in the fog, which made him feel very good.
When the email message rang, he had already thought about what to eat for lunch, not just the weather. Borneo is really not a country of gourmet food. If it weren't for the high quality of the hotel, he probably wouldn't be confident about his food.
"A message so early in the morning? Those guys down there are just so unstable!" John Bowles muttered, opened the email and saw what urgent matter it was that disturbed his rest time so early!
Isn't the work of the organizing committee basically finished? Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to enjoy such leisure time. Can't he let the old man take a break?
The work of the organizing committee is really not a job for a human being. He will definitely not take it over again next time!
In the last session, he was already driven to death by the willful Perelman, the prover of the Millennium Problem Poincare Conjecture, but in the end he was still not allowed to attend the International Congress of Mathematicians and receive the Fields Medal. This made the previous International Congress of Mathematicians somewhat overshadowed, and the glory of the Fields Medal also dim.
However, when he opened the email and saw the title and abstract clearly, his heart skipped a beat and he felt a sharp pain in his teeth.
It's another restless International Congress of Mathematicians. Next time he takes on such a damn job, he will be turned into a mosquito in the foggy city and be drenched in the rain of the foggy city.
Is this always disrespecting the elderly? He now announced that he hated changes the most.
He knew that the presenter had made a mistake and had been replaced by the recently rising Oriental genius. Although he admittedly lamented her age, her achievements were exceptional and impressive. Both the Zhou conjecture and the twin prime conjecture were outstanding achievements in the international mathematical community this year, and she was still so young!
Both times he received praise and admiration from their England Field Award boss Andrew Wiles, and that is why he decided to appoint this young genius as the reporter for the remedial event.
"A new group proof method and proof of Polignac's conjecture? Using the principle of infinite extension of topology into the sieve method, using the infinity of group theory... to create an infinite group proof method, and finally prove Polignac's conjecture? My Jesus, don't scare your loyal lamb, is this world crazy?" Bowles patted his chest, made the sign of the cross and prayed. He was almost frightened to the point of cardiac arrest!
We're all mathematicians, and everyone knows the Polignac conjecture. And now this little Oriental girl claims to have proved it using a new method? Wait... didn't she just prove the twin prime conjecture two weeks ago? Two conjectures in one month?
Is he crazy, is he seeing things wrong because of his old eyesight, or is this world crazy?
How could such a significant achievement be made public and reported at a mathematician's congress without rigorous and thorough verification? The International Congress of Mathematicians was about to begin in less than twenty days!
What kind of nightmare is this? Let him wake up immediately.
Damn it, he can't be the only one suffering. Those who play with number theory, Andrew, Albert, Tao Terence, Qiu... and those lazy bad guys who squeeze the work out of him, an old man, Deligne, Feldman... and Witten, don't even think about sitting idle, they have to do the calculations and verifications for him!
It was happily decided. We should all work together, and not let him shoulder all the responsibilities alone! There is a Chinese saying that goes, "When blessings come, we all share; when disasters come, we all share." It's a very good saying!
No matter what, if it is really proven, the progress of mathematics will always make people happy. Don’t they hold the International Congress of Mathematicians to discuss and exchange new progress?
So, Bowles knocked on them one by one. When Wu Tong was busy and had some free time, she didn't know what kind of hustle and bustle and shock her butterfly wings had caused in the top circles of the entire mathematics community.
In Princeton, at Andrew Wiles's residence, he was still listening to gorgeous music, quietly enjoying the beauty of the night.
People in the world don't understand the beauty of the night. When the phone rang, he frowned and picked it up: "My dear John, you know, it's late at night in Country M, my best time."
So, you'd better have something urgent to do.
"That Eastern genius you praised!"
"Oh, you mean Wu? Yes, she's a very interesting kid. Her twin prime conjecture is brilliant. If it weren't so late, I'd be happy to recommend her for an hour-long presentation!"
"Haha... maybe I don't need your recommendation. Checking my email right now, I sent you a paper. Your friend claims to have proved the Polignac conjecture again! Review it, Andrew. I'll notify the others!" Bowles hung up the phone and moved on to the next one. Jet lag or not, it was work time here, and he was the center of attention.
"Polignac's conjecture?" Andrew was so shocked that he almost crushed the red wine glass in his hand. "This kid really can surprise people with miraculous things!"
If it is really proven, there is no need for his recommendation for a one-hour report. The organizing committee will be happy to pave the way for such a major achievement!
