Chapter 223 Newman Conjecture

On the third night of thinking in the dormitory, various disciplines just kept intersecting in Wu Bin's mind, and new ideas appeared one after another, but they were all quickly rejected. This process was quite sour for Wu Bin, and he simply couldn't stop!

But Wu Bin discovered a long time ago that staring at a problem for a long time can easily lead to a dead end, so sometimes when he feels that he is too obsessed with an idea, he will open the computer and browse blogs and arXiv forums.

Among the many blogs, he likes to brush up on two professors: Roberts and Pete Walker. The former is a former string theory professor at Harvard, and the latter is a mathematics professor at Columbia University.

One of these two people supports string theory and the other is against string theory, so they often attack each other on their blogs.

The high-level arguments between the two often caused Wu Bin to spend the whole afternoon at the computer with a bag of potato chips.

In addition, there are Professor Theodore, who is at the forefront of particle physics and astrophysics, and Bowman, a master in condensed matter physics.

In fact, it turned out that Wu Bin preferred to read the blog of Professor Walter from Yale University, but one time Wu Bin had some questions after seeing him finish a blog post about several issues about diamond anvil pressure scales and non-hydraulic properties. I sent a private message to the professor.

Then two things happened that Wu Bin didn't expect.

First, the professor responded to his message very quickly. Second, the message seemed very long and very polite, but in fact it meant that I am an expert in this field. Where did you come from? Dare you question me?

Wu Bin, who did not expect the professor to be so arrogant, was furious at the time. After careful study of diamond cells, he proved that accurate EOS continues to be problematic because there is currently a lack of accurate pressure scales with clear sources of uncertainty.

Then he decisively applied for a blog and wrote a long paper to debate with the professor, but the other party just ignored him as a transparent person.

After calming down, Wu Bin felt that there was no need to waste time and energy arguing with this arrogant maniac, but he still silently made a note in his heart that sooner or later, this slap would hit his face firmly!

For these scientists, arXiv is like their circle of friends. Any new ideas they come up with will be posted there.

Wu Bin also learned a trick after using it for a while, that is, after using a reader to subscribe to articles in a certain field on arXiv, a plug-in called Chrome can sort the articles in that field according to the number of people who have collected the article, so it is very easy Just find out what are the interesting and popular articles recently.

After browsing for a while, Wu Bin found that there seemed to be nothing particularly eye-catching in high-energy physics recently. But just when he was about to close the page and continue meditating, he discovered that Terence Tao had made a high-profile appearance!

Terence Tao, a Chinese-American mathematician born in Australia, won the highest honor in mathematics, the Fields Medal, at the age of 31. He is the second Chinese-American mathematician to win this honor after Shing-Tung Yau.

This expert not only produces extremely high quantity and quality papers, but also likes to blog.

He seems to like it very much and is very good at explaining his ideas to others, so his blog called What's new is always very lively, because probably no one likes to communicate with readers more than him.

This time he posted a new article on arXiv, promoting that he proved the Newman conjecture. This conjecture is related to the Riemann hypothesis and defines two functions.

ξ(s):=2/s(s-1)π-s/2 power T(2/s)ζ(s) and (x):=ξ(2/1+ix)

Mathematicians proved something called the de Brujin-Newman constant Λ∈

If t ≥Λ, then t(x) has only real zeros:

If t<Λ, then t(x) has a non-real zero point.

What is interesting is that Riemann hypothesis Λ ≤ 0, Tao claimed that he proved the Newman conjecture, de Brujin-Newman constant Λ ≥ 0

"Wow, this is going to be big news!"

For such a big event in mathematics, Wu Bin can only be a spectator. It is very interesting to watch the fierce debates among various experts below.

After watching it with gusto all night, Wu Bin suddenly felt that they were partners fighting on the same front, and all they wanted to do was solve the most cutting-edge problems in their respective fields.

"A normal heart, a normal heart..." Wu Bin fell on the bed, looked at the ceiling, and decided to go back to the laboratory tomorrow and continue fighting with a stable mentality!

After clenching his fist, Wu Bin was about to continue reading the blog, but suddenly he opened QQ as if he remembered something.

[Master, I spent the whole day in the library today! (Proud.jpg)]

[Master, today I finally understood the article you sent me last time. It’s amazing! (Worship.jpg)】

[Master, have you forgotten your QQ password (Panda Missing.jpg)]

…

[On the twelfth day of my master's absence, I missed him. (Born without love.jpg)]

I have to say that it is quite interesting to watch the whole process of a person from being excited to being hopeless in the chat history.

In June, Wu Bin urged A'tu to give Mang Level 4, but A'tu showed very little confidence. After all, Wu Bin didn't have much time to teach her at that time.

So after thinking about it for a long time, Atu decided to give it a try. Anyway, there was another time in December. She firmly believed that under the guidance of a famous teacher, she would be able to succeed in the battle if she was given another six months!

Looking at the time, thinking that this guy must not have slept, Wu Bin typed a line [I have been very busy with experiments recently. Sorry, I forgot to log in to QQ. 】

"Beep beep beep!"

Not even a few seconds had passed before Atu's message came back.

How to become strong without being bald: [Master, there is no need to apologize. I am very grateful that you can remember to teach me even though you are so busy. (Moved.jpg)】

I eat lemon: [As long as you understand, how have you been studying recently? 】

【I work very hard! real! If you don’t believe me, master, you can give me a test. (Super confident.jpg)]

[Okay, I do mean that. I will send you two sets of papers later. After you finish, if the situation is as good as you said, then I will help you make a long-term plan. You just need to stick to it. If you keep doing it, you will definitely pass level four. 】

[Ru...if I fail, master, will you give up on me? (Guilty conscience.jpg)]

【Yes. 】

【……】

After a while, Bubalu Qiangqiang sent him an emoticon picture. The person in the picture had an expressionless face, and there was a line of text underneath.

【I am an emotionless killer】

[Master, you look like him (grievance.jpg)]

[I told you from the beginning, I will not waste my time on someone who has no self-discipline. 】

[It seems that I said so... Master, please send it, I will be fine! (Confidence.jpg)]

[Okay, wait. 】

After Wu Bin finished speaking, he closed the chat interface and opened Excel.

"Hmm~ As a little preparation before tomorrow's fierce battle, it's quite interesting to give questions to test others."
