I Just Want to Be a Quiet Top Student

"By the way, "Proof of the Riemann Conjecture Based on the 'Twin Matching Method'", do you want to publish it in the conference proceedings, or a special mathematics journal? The conference proceedings of the just-concluded Scientific Breakthrough Awards Conference, sponsored by our Sp Ringer put it together and publish it," Weiser asked.

Papers presented publicly for the first time at an academic conference are usually included in the conference proceedings of that conference.

The influence of the organizing committee on the conference proceedings is relatively small, and people in the circle generally value the name of the publisher or publishing group of the conference proceedings.

Publishing conference proceedings is one of Springer's main businesses, and 100% of the conference proceedings published by Springer are indexed by EI.

Shen Qi never considered the conference proceedings, even the conference proceedings published by Springer have no IF value.

The IF value is an important addition factor for brushing Xueba points, and the addition income is several times.

Shen Qi said: "I am going to submit "Proof of the Riemann Hypothesis Based on 'Twin Matching Method'" to a journal, but the conference proceedings have not been considered."

Weiser asked: "Annual Journal of Mathematics, Inventions of Mathematics, Journal of the American Mathematical Society, and Acta Mathematica, which one do you vote for? These four journals are all published by Springer."

Shen Qi thought for a while and said: "I published the proof of Walsh's conjecture in the "Journal of the American Mathematical Society". The Muller-Sim theorem and Shen's proximity theorem were published in the "Annual of Mathematics" and "Inventions of Mathematics" respectively. .So for this paper on the Riemann Hypothesis, I want to choose "Acta Mathematics."

Weiser made an "awkward" expression: "Shen, you may be about to break the record. There has never been a mathematician who can publish articles in every one of the four major journals."

Shen Qi responded with a smiling expression: "Let it take its course, I never deliberately thought about breaking records."

After finishing the meeting with Wei Ze, Shen Qi submitted the paper "Proof of the Riemann Hypothesis Based on 'Twin Matching Method'" to the online submission system of "Acta Mathematica Sinica" according to the normal procedure.

Wieser happened to be in charge of organizing number theory experts to review Shen Qi's paper on Riemann's conjecture, which was the IMU's review.

As the publisher of "Acta Mathematica", Springer Group is very familiar with the editorial department of "Acta Mathematica" merged into one big team.

This big team is composed of 11 world-renowned number theory experts. For the sake of avoiding suspicion, mathematicians from the Princeton system and Chinese mathematicians were not selected for this big jury.

If the "Proof of the Riemann Hypothesis Based on 'Twin Matching Method'" is verified and passed by the 11-member jury, it means that Shen Qi's research results have been widely recognized by the international mathematics community, and he will truly achieve "half becoming a god".

To put it simply, the day when "Acta Mathematica Sinica" published "Proof of the Riemann Hypothesis Based on 'Twin Matching Method'" was the day when Shen Qi became a god.

One month passed, and at the end of April, Shen Qi got the news that the 11 digit theorists of the grand jury were arranged in a secret place in Sweden, and the verification of his proof of the Riemann conjecture was still in progress. in conclusion.

The editorial office of "Acta Mathematica Sinica" is in Sweden, and Shen Qi couldn't fly to Sweden to check the progress, and he was not invited to go.

Besides, Shen Qi has important work to do, and the second half of the proof of Riemann's conjecture has not yet been completed.

Shen Qi's team encountered obstacles, and the third expression of ζ(s) could not be deduced.

Ouye officially joined Shen Qi's team. The current team members are Shen Qi, Mary, Jonas, Ouye, and Muller, and the technical consultants are Faltings, Linden-Strauss, and Gong Changwei.

The Department of Mathematics of Princeton University and the Department of Mathematics of Columbia University have reached a consensus that the two parties will cooperate to carry out this project. Both are allies of the Ivy League, and cooperation will always be ranked first.

This cross-university cooperation project is under the name of Professor Muller, and the actual person in charge is Shen Qi.

Shen Qi is the default subject host within the research group. His subject host has money, someone has resources, and mathematics circles from Pudong University, Columbia University, and the world are paying attention to the latest research progress of Shen Qi's team.

After all, FLAG has been established, and Li Guai’s verification in the second half will directly lead to the solution of Ge Guai. The ultimate mystery of the law of prime number distribution deciphered by Li Guai + Ge Guai may rewrite the rules of the application field.

"I found it harder to derive the third expression for ζ(s) than the first plus the second."

During coffee time on Wednesday in the Department of Mathematics of Princeton, Shen Qi, Muller, Marie, Faltings, Linden Strauss and others sat around together, and Shen Qi expressed his views.

Muller nodded and said: "Theoretically, the third expression is the support for the first and the second, and it is always full of difficulties to obtain a supporting result."

Jonas said that he was too tired. The first half of Riemann's conjecture proved that he was exhausted. He went on vacation and needed to rest and recuperate for a while. During this time, the two women who really helped Shen Qi work were Mary and Ouye.

Muller, Faltings, Linden-Strauss, and Gong Changwei are all professors, and there are two Philippine Prize winners among them. These four mainly provide technical support in the general direction, and Shen Qi and Mary , Ouye, Jonas completed.

Jonas went on vacation, so according to the latest contribution, the team rankings are Shen Qi, Mary, Ouye, Jonas, and Muller.

In the final formally published papers or published academic monographs, the names of the authors are always sorted, and the basis for sorting is simple: degree of contribution.

The names of Faltings, Linden-Strauss, and Gong Changwei, the three technical advisors, will not appear in the list of authors, and they will be thanked in the conclusion of the paper or the preface of the academic monograph.

In the second half of the proof of the Riemann conjecture, the main battlefield is the coffee shop on the third floor of the Princeton Department of Mathematics, and the sub-battlefield is the Department of Mathematics of Columbia University.

There are still more than five months to hold the International Conference of Mathematicians. Shen Qi has no idea whether he can complete the second half of the proof of the Riemann conjecture before October. Geometric multiple growth.

The more he studied the third expression of ζ(s), the more difficult Shen Qi found it to handle.

Another month later, at the end of May, the research work of Shen Qi's team on the second half of Riemann's conjecture was slowly advancing. Although it was slow, it was planned. According to this kind of planned project progress, it is estimated that it will not be done before October this year.

At the same time, Shen Qi also received good news. Regarding the first half of Riemann's conjecture, the jury jointly organized by IMU and "Acta Mathematica" will arrive in the United States in the near future.

Shen Qi will accept face-to-face questions from the grand jury of 11 internationally renowned number theory experts.

"Finally, this day has come." Shen Qi waited for this special defense for two full months, and he made all preparations for this international defense.

Under normal circumstances, an author submits a paper to an academic journal, and the journal finds several reviewers to carry out the review work. After passing the paper, the paper is accepted, but it is rejected.

Authors and journal editorial staff and reviewers will not meet in person.

But Shen Qi's situation is an exception. The "Proof of the Riemann Hypothesis Based on the 'Twin Matching Method'", which is known as "half becoming a god", has made too much noise, and the double-blind or single-blind review system is no longer applicable to Shen Qi. Such an atypical case.

For the paper "Proof of the Riemann Hypothesis Based on the 'Twin Matching Method'", the grand jury quietly researched it for two months without releasing any information to the outside world.

Shen Qi predicted that the jury must have made some research progress and had many questions to ask themselves.

At the Breakthrough Prize conference in March, Shen Qi did not participate in the Q\u0026A session because no one could ask questions then.

11 number theory experts who have nothing to do with Shen Qi have worked hard for two months. Now, they came to the United States with questions to torture Shen Qi.
