Super God-Level Top Student-Chapter 758 - 289: Fear of People Being Too Honest_2
Su Mucheng pursed her lips; Qiao Ze had become so modest that she felt a bit uncomfortable.
"If someone who can give a thought for proving Goldbach's conjecture in half a day claims they aren't good at number theory, then probably no one else would dare say they specialize in the field anymore."
As for the correctness of the issue, Su Mucheng had never considered it.
The reason was that Qiao Ze had never made a mistake, no matter how difficult the question.
But before Su Mucheng could express her thoughts, the nature of the discussion outside began to change.
...
"Hey, solving Goldbach at this time seems like a bit of a waste! There are still two years until the next Congress of Mathematicians. Solving the Yang-Mills Equations and the mass gap problem is already enough to win a Fields Medal, and Goldbach would be enough for another one. Two Medals, but now they can only merge into one. What a loss!"
Clearly, these were the words of Xu Dajiang.
Dean Xu truly didn't want Qiao Ze to suffer any losses.
"The Fields Medal can only be won once, right? No one has won it twice, have they?"
"That's because of the age limit, but the rules of the Fields Medal don't say you can only win it once. And didn't Caucher Birkar win two medals?"
"Wasn't Birkar given a second medal just because his first was stolen, and they had to present him with a display one?"
"That's not important. The important thing is someone indeed received two medals. And considering Qiao Ze's contribution to mathematics, he'd even be entitled to three. It's just about qualification, after all."
"That's...true, I guess." Li Jiangao, not being one of those with too many thoughts, ultimately didn't want to dampen Xu Dajiang's high spirits and simply agreed.
"Haha, that's the spirit, Jian Gao! Don't you know your student yet? He will be deified in the future, Let's make a bet, by next century when someone mentions our Xilin School, every mathematician will have to bow in respect! Uh, Xilin might just become the birthplace of new mathematics in the eyes of future generations!"
"Uh...let's not bet on what will happen in the next century, shall we?"
"Haha..."
Accompanied by Xu Dajiang's hearty laughter, it finally quieted down outside. Su Mucheng looked at Qiao Ze as if her eyes held countless stars, making Qiao Ze feel somewhat uneasy.
He was not used to so much praise.
Dean Xu always liked to hold him up high.
But in reality, it was just that the majority still had not understood this new set of mathematical tools.
If they truly understood, they would realize that using these tools to solve prime number problems wasn't actually that hard.
"Whew..." Qiao Ze took a deep breath, looked at the nearly finished food, and said, "I'm done eating, I'll head out first." ƒгeewebnovёl.com
"Sure, you go ahead. Dean Xu and Li Shu definitely have many questions to discuss with you. I'll just tidy up the table," Su Mucheng said with a smile.
"Oh."
...
Upon leaving the compartment, Xu Dajiang indeed immediately looked up and focused on him, indicating that the dean had not actually read his paper in detail.
"Qiao Ze, how did you come to think of this method to prove Goldbach's conjecture?" Xu Dajiang asked eagerly the next moment.
"Today, Su suggested I do some other problems to switch my mind off the tiring projects and proposed I try tackling this conjecture. Then I thought of the spiral arms of the Milky Way, the shape of hurricanes, and the structure of DNA, which led me to plot out a pathway using the prime numbers I'd found.
I figured that if I brought this problem into superspiral algebra, I should be able to find a pathway to determine the distribution of primes. Firstly, you don't need to ascertain which numbers on the numerical axis are prime, just find the trajectory where primes might appear, which simplifies the problem a lot.
Following this idea, I defined the pathway to distinguish between prime and composite numbers. By setting apart the special case of the number 1, the distance between points could be determined by the number of composites in between, and this could be defined using concepts from within superspiral algebra.
So, I thought of proving a theorem first, namely the Prime Spiral Theorem of superspiral algebra. In superspiral algebra, for any even number greater than 2, E, there's a function S(n) that maps natural numbers n onto a spiral path on a complex plane, such that every even number E is at least associated with two points S(p) and S(q).
If this theorem could be proven, then half of Goldbach's conjecture would be solved. If you had read my previous papers, you would know that during the summary of superspiral algebra, there's a crucial theorem proved, the Helical Qualitative Mapping Theorem.
This is: In superspiral algebra, for the set of natural numbers, there exists a fundamental mapping function P(n), which maps the natural number n to a point in transcendental geometric space, where points exhibit a periodic pattern related to the prime nature of n.
This theorem was originally intended to address the problem of gravitons, but when solving Goldbach's conjecture, it can be extended to the Helical Qualitative Mapping Theorem, which states: In superspiral algebra, there exists a function F(n), that maps natural numbers n to a transcendental circle such that for any prime p, the output of F(p) follows a specific sequence.
This sequence can be accurately predicted through some mathematical pattern. For non-primes n, the output of F(n) doesn't follow that pattern. This mapping precisely reveals the fundamental differences in the distribution of primes and non-primes on the superspiral path.
With these preliminary theorems in place, the most challenging part was addressed. The rest simply involved finding a polynomial and verifying it through a transformation formula. The only difficult part was understanding the use of the weighting factor w(n), which I felt might be the only possible difficult point for understanding in the paper."
