Chapter 159 Shock

However, Mr. Wiles has not responded to the message, and he does not know whether Mr. Wiles did not see it, or the Zhuang gutter capsized?Because in mathematics, they really don't understand much.Mr. Wiles is at the top level in mathematics.Zhuang is at the top of the top level. With Jerry's meager knowledge of mathematics, he can't even understand the first page of Zhuang's thesis.He spent several days sorting out the format of Zhuang's thesis.

This big guy is a bit eclectic in terms of format, and he has to ask the staff of their Nature editorial department to help sort it out.

The name of the first author and corresponding author is Zhuang Weiran, which is enough to make the staff of Nature's editorial department willing to help this boss organize the paper format.

After sorting out the paper, Jerry forwarded it to Wiles.After waiting for so many days, there has been no news.This made Jerry and everyone in the Nature editorial department panic, and they had no choice but to send Jerry to visit to ask what was going on.Before leaving, Jerry printed all Zhuang Weiran's papers and put them in his briefcase.

There are a total of more than 100 pages of papers, and the official documents are packed bulgingly.

When I came to Mr. Wiles' office, I saw him looking unhappy.When he set off, Jerry was a little uneasy, praying that the boss Zhuang would not capsize in the gutter.But seeing Wiles' face, he even felt that he was unlucky, Zhuang really capsized in the gutter.

"What's the matter?" Wiles' tone was very impatient. He was obviously not curious about the nature editorial staff looking for him.

Nature is indeed the academic journal with the highest impact factor, the most authoritative, and even the oldest academic journal.But in recent years, Nature's accidents have continued, especially after other single academic journals have top journals, Nature seems a bit tasteless.Say he is useful.The leaders of various academic circles prefer to publish papers in the top journals in this research field, saying that he is useless, but he still publishes many papers with research value.

Comprehensive academic journals, whether it is Nature or Sce, are a bit embarrassing now.

Many papers with the most academic research value and discussion value are published in the top journals in this field, and will not be published in these two comprehensive journals.

There are four top journals in mathematics, Physical Review Letters in physics, jagew in chemistry, Lancet in medicine, and Cell in biology.

In this way, Nature is indeed a bit embarrassed.Biology is better, but in other respects, in fact, bigwigs are still used to publishing papers to top journals in the field, and rarely publish in Nature.

Especially mathematics, mathematics is the cornerstone of the entire science.Mathematically widely spread and influential papers with considerable discussion value are published in Nature, which is equivalent to another advertisement for Nature.How could it not make Jerry anxious.

But it's useless for him to be anxious now, Wiles is bowing his head and writing on the desk.

"Jerry, what's the matter?" Wiles was stern, at least his tone could be heard unpleasant, "I'm very busy now, if there's nothing else, please don't bother me."

"Professor Wiles." Jerry said softly, fearing to annoy Wiles, he drove him out of the door directly, "I forwarded you an email about mathematics a few days ago..."

"Sorry, Mr. Jerry, I don't have time right now."

"It's a paper on Hodge's conjecture..."

Before Jerry finished speaking, Wiles said impatiently, "There are people in this world who announce that they have solved the Hodge conjecture every day. If I read papers on this topic every day, especially those that don't make sense Papers, I don’t think I have time to do business. I’m sorry, Mr. Jerry, of course I’m not questioning your abilities. But I don’t think you know much about Hodge’s conjecture. Not just anyone can announce the solution of."

"I don't have time to read those nonsensical papers. If there is nothing else, then Mr. Jerry, please leave the office now." Wiles spoke very rudely, and he also had the qualifications to be rude.For Jerry, Wiles was a well-known mathematics professor, he could not and would not offend this professor.

He silently took out a stack of printed papers from his briefcase, and he put them on the table respectfully, "This is a paper sent by Professor Zhuang, claiming that there is a new breakthrough in the field of Hodge's conjecture, because Professor Zhuang's paper It is too obscure, we have no choice but to forward it to your mailbox."

Wiles stopped writing and was slightly stunned for a moment.He raised his head and looked at Jerry, with sharp eyes and pointed accusations, "Why didn't you tell me earlier that this is Zhuang's thesis?"

Jerry watched Professor Wiles suddenly change his application, and thought to himself, Zhuang's name is really easy to use.Professor Wiles, who was impatient at first, has now picked up the paper and started to study it silently.Jerry hastily admitted his mistake, "Mr. Wiles, it was my fault that I didn't tell you about this in advance. Because we thought that you are the editor of Nature, and you should be able to read your mailbox."

"It's because we didn't think carefully."

Wiles hummed absently, waved his hands and said, "Mr. Jerry, you go out, I need to study Zhuang's thesis."

"Okay." Jerry exhaled slowly. Professor Wiles has changed too much before and after.

When I heard Hodge's conjecture, I said it was a nonsense paper.After hearing Zhuang's thesis, he immediately changed his face and blamed him for not saying it earlier.Sure enough, although academics never bow to authority.But sometimes authority is really useful. For example, the name of Zhuang is enough to make all mathematicians and even physicists look at him.

In the fields of mathematics and physics, and even many engineering fields, Zhuang's name is more useful than anyone else.Seeing that Wiles has started to study the thesis seriously, Jerry also seems to have completed a daunting task.Quietly left, and closed the office door by the way.

After dark, Wiles put down his thesis, feeling that Zhuang was really good.Even in mathematics, it has far exceeded the top level at that time.In mathematics, Zhuang is probably the only one there.Take this paper as an example, many ideas are obscure, and he needs repeated calculations.He suddenly remembered that this paper did not seem to be placed on arXiv.

Instead, submit directly to Nature.

Could it be that he was the first mathematician to read this paper?Wiles turned on the computer with doubts, and boarded arXiv to search for papers.Sure enough, Zhuang Weiran did not publish any chapters on this paper, and Wiles was a little short of breath.Sure enough, he was the first mathematician to see this paper. Even the original idea of ​​the paper is already very obscure. If he needs to calculate repeatedly, it may take a month to calculate the entire 100-page paper. , He even needed to call Zhuang for many questions.

"My God." It seems that although this paper did not solve Hodge's conjecture, it brought people a lot closer to Hodge's conjecture. Perhaps Zhuang Weiran could completely solve Hodge's conjecture after studying for a period of time.

This is simply unbelievable. Zhuang just solved the BSD conjecture in the first half of the year. Not long after returning to Huaguo, he will solve the Hodge conjecture.Then will there be another academic report?

After packing all his things, Professor Wiles went home with his paper.Zhuang's thesis is too wonderful and has great research value in geometry, topology and even algebra.He saw that Zhuang's calculations in geometry and topology using the Langlands program were almost more powerful than Schultz, who was doing work related to the Langlands program.

Sure enough, Zhuang should have wanted to attack the Langlands program a long time ago, but he just didn't have the chance.Now—isn't that the opportunity?Zhuang finally started to work on the Langlands program.If Professor Langlands knew, he would be very happy.

Professor Langlands has always believed that if someone completes the great unification of mathematics in this century, then that person will not be anyone else—only Zhuang Weiran.

Wiles also had the same idea, but to their pity, Zhuang Weiran seemed not interested in the Langlands Program.His research in mathematics ranges from nonlinear partial differential equations to algebra and geometry, but he has not made any changes to the Langlands program.But now, Zhuang Weiran has really started to try to use the Langlands program in his thesis, and the Langlands program looks more familiar than Professor Langlands.

It can't be said that Wiles couldn't believe it, because Zhuang Weiran had already given him enough surprises.He absolutely believes in Zhuang's ability, and he is very happy that perhaps the dawn of mathematical unification has appeared.From this moment on, the countdown to mathematical unification has entered.

The Langlands program verified by the mutual conversion of geometry, topology and algebra can even be called the Chuang-style reciprocal conjecture.In addition to geometry and algebra, Zhuang Weiran has derived the Langlands program of topology.

This is what makes Wiles most ecstatic.The Langlands program has far-reaching influence, but it is a representation theory that links number theory, algebraic geometry, and reduction groups.Zhuang Weiran expanded the representation theory of topology from the aspects of algebra and geometry, and spent dozens of pages to verify each other's conjectures.And elaborate on the nature of these irrelevant content can be closely linked.

Wiles can say without hesitation that the Langlands Program can even be called the Zhuang-Langlands Program.

Even the mathematicians who won the Fields Medal, when studying the Langlands program, made verifications and contributions to the problems derived from the Langlands program itself in algebraic geometry, reduction groups and number theory.There is no one like Zhuang Weiran who has directly derived a new topological classification in addition to these inherent aspects.

And preliminarily link algebra, geometry and topology together, making them a huge theory closely linked.

Sooner or later, the grand unified theory of mathematics will be realized, and Zhuang is the dawn.

It was only after Professor Wiles went home that he saw Zhuang Weiran elaborate on the transformation of topology, geometry and algebra, and repeatedly verified it with dozens of pages of proofs and his own conjectures.

In fact, Professor Wiles is very curious about when Zhuang made these conjectures and reciprocal proofs.

The more he watched, the more excited he became, and Wiles had even reached the point where he forgot to eat or sleep.

This is really shocking. This is just a preliminary combination of geometry, algebra, and topology. Zhuang will definitely be able to further deepen this theory, and even firmly make this theory a part of the Langlands program.Compared with what Schultz did in the geometry of the Langlands program, Zhuang is more likely to do nothing, and once he does, there will be a real earthquake in the mathematical world.

He can even imagine that after this paper is published, it will cause a huge earthquake in the mathematics, even physics, and many engineering fields.

Wiles couldn't wait to call Zhuang Weiran, and Zhuang Weiran who received the call seemed to be sleeping.

He said to the phone in a daze, "Hello?"

"Zhuang!" Wiles said excitedly, "I'm Wiles. I saw your paper. You are actually making reciprocal conjectures in geometry, algebra and topology, and sorting out preliminary theories. Zhuang, Will you continue your research?"

"Of course." Zhuang Weiran slept soundly and was woken up by Wiles.Hearing Wiles' excited voice, he was a little puzzled, "Professor Wiles, how did you know that I was making a reciprocal conjecture of mutual conversion between topology, geometry, and algebra?"

"Zhuang..." Professor Wiles was also very surprised, "You forgot? You contributed to Nature."

"Yes, I submitted to Nature. So Professor Wiles is the reviewer?"

"That's right, I'm the reviewer." Wiles said in an astonishing voice, "Zhuang, I didn't expect at all that the first time you used the Langlands program was to broaden the boundary of the Langlands program to a whole topology. .”

Zhuang Weiran said with a smile, "Professor Wiles, is that why you called me?"

"Zhuang, isn't this exciting enough?" Wiles said in a tone of strong puzzlement, "You know, the completion of this thesis is a big step towards the great unification of mathematics. Next, Zhuang, if you can Incorporate all other branches of mathematics into the Langlands program, then a grand unified theory of mathematics has really been made."

Zhuang Weiran yawned and said, "As a matter of fact, even I haven't finished all of Professor Wiles's topology, as well as dimension theory, singularity theory, and fiber bundle theory, etc., which have not been included in the Langlands program. I don't think Mr. Schultz is doing work on the Langlands program on coherence theory?"

"No, Zhuang, you conjecture and prove most of the branches of topology and the Langlands program. Schultz... is studying the Langlands program on homology theory. You also involved homology theory..." Wiles said very excitedly, "I can say that Zhuang, you are simply a natural mathematician, as if you were born for mathematics."

"This..." Zhuang Weiran was stunned on the other end of the phone. He didn't expect Professor Wiles to be so excited.

"In short, I haven't finished it yet, and there are still many things that need to be conjectured and verified." Zhuang Weiran said, "I probably need to start working on this aspect after I finish Hodge's conjecture."

"Of course there is no problem, Zhuang. I always look forward to your shocking mathematics." Wiles said excitedly, "Zhuang, I'm sorry, you seem to be resting?"

"That's right." Zhuang Weiran smiled wryly. It was only past two o'clock in the morning. He had just fallen asleep when he was woken up by Professor Wiles' phone call.

Wiles also said with a hint of shame, "It's really your paper that shocked me so much that I even forgot about the jet lag. Zhuang, I read the paper all night, it's really great."

"Genius-like ideas, as well as wonderful expositions and connections, to be honest, I can't do it. I firmly believe that the publication of this paper will cause a major earthquake in the entire academic world."

"Really?" Zhuang Weiran said irrefutably, "Maybe, Professor Wiles, your voice sounds quite tired, maybe you should go to bed earlier."

Closing his eyes, his eyelids began to twitch, "Good night, Mr. Wiles."

After hanging up the phone, he soon fell asleep.

Wiles continued to read the paper with excitement. He didn't even go to Merton College, Oxford University. Instead, he carefully studied Zhuang Weiran's paper at home, which could shake the academic world.This paper was actually published in Nature.He also thought that Zhuang Weiran would prefer ActaMathematica.After all, this is the journal with the highest mathematical impact factor, and it is also one of the highest journals.A paper like this has caused a shock in the academic world. Even if it is not submitted to ActaMathematica, Zhuang is the editor of New Advances in Mathematics, it should be submitted to IionesMathematicae.

As a result, Zhuang Weiran published such an important paper in Nature that can even bring about a new theoretical revolutionary moment in the academic world, which is undoubtedly elevating the academic status of Nature.

…………

"Morning." Zhuang Weiran didn't sleep very well last night, and he looked sleepy when he woke up.After greeting Shi Zhengan, he went to the bathroom to wash up.

"Professor Zhuang." Shi Zhengan went downstairs after breakfast and looked at Zhuang Weiran, "You seem a little tired, why don't you take a rest and go to Science Island?"

"No need." Zhuang Weiran shook his head, "I received a call from abroad last night... In the middle of the night, Professor Wiles was so excited that he called me."

Yawning, he shook his head and said, "There is really no way to answer some of his doubts. He just hung up the phone. Didn't I go to bed late last night...today is fine."

"There are still many things to do." Standing up, Zhuang Weiran stretched.

"Let's go, Captain Shi."

Shi Zheng'an nodded slightly, sitting in the car, Zhuang Weiran did think about something about the Langlands Program.The main reason is that in his view, the Langlands Program still has a lot to do. Even if a topology is to be completed, it may take one to two years.It is even more difficult to complete the real unification of mathematics.

"Oh." Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh.

Shi Zheng'an looked at Zhuang Weiran from the rearview mirror and sighed, and whispered, "Professor Zhuang is angry?"

"I'm not angry, I'm just lamenting the difficulty of academics." Shaking his head, he said softly, "Academics are really too difficult, and many things are difficult to handle."

Shi Zheng'an smiled, and didn't know what to say to comfort Zhuang Weiran.He could only smile helplessly, he didn't understand academic issues either.Of course, Zhuang Weiran couldn't be comforted either.

"It's just that it takes some time, and the rest is fine." Zhuang Weiran said with a smile, "In fact, in the field of mathematics, the real unification will bring endless benefits to the development of science in the future."

"I really want to do a unified theory of mathematics, but I didn't dare to do it in the Lighthouse Country before." Zhuang Weiran smiled shyly, as if talking to herself.

Shi Zheng'an didn't speak either, he just drove the car quietly, listening to Zhuang Weiran's confession.

"After returning to Huaguo, I'm going to make graphene. But I haven't been free, and I'm usually doing Hodge's conjecture."
