Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

It turned out to be the Cole Award!

Lu Zhou is very different.

Soon, he realized the problem.

"Wait a minute, do I remember that the Cole Award is not only awarded to members of the Federal Mathematical Society?"

It seems that Lu Zhou will ask this question. Mr. Qiu Lao smiled and explained: “The best young reporter of the Federal Mathematical Society’s academic conference held in Princeton, in addition to the $10,000 bonus and certificate. It also comes with the honorary membership status, which is probably between the members and the members. In fact, many countries have similar honorary membership rules, so you are in full compliance with the award rules."

Including the Chen Shengshen Mathematical Awards, although Lu Zhou has never applied for which association to join, it is generally accepted that the awards issued by a certain society will be granted the membership of the Society or honorary members by default. It is.

After a moment of pause, Mr. Qiu Lao smiled and continued.

"...The nomination for this award is completed in September and has been selected in October. The official written documents will be available in early January and will be sent to your school. The awards will be held at the end of the two-year conference. On the other hand, if I remember correctly, I am at the University of California. Of course, the award is given at the opening or closing ceremony. I have to look at the specific notice. The organizer will send a notice email to your email address. You remember to check yourself regularly. The mailbox will be fine. As for this time, you are ready to give your acceptance speech!"

I heard Mr. Qiu Lao say this, Lu Zhou smiled embarrassedly.

I am really embarrassed.

If the written documents have not come down, I will disclose this news to me in advance. Will there be a feeling of imposing?

In fact, he still wants to ask the bonus of this Cole Award.

But when I think about it, everyone is learning, or it is better to hold it.

So he resisted not asking, but said.

"I will be well prepared!"

"You should pay more attention to this, remember not to miss the awards," Mr. Qiu nodded and nodded, changed the subject, and continued in a chattering voice. "When it comes to the year-end academic conference, it is quite quite Level, if your paper on the group structure is there for a report, more people will know about your research."

“After the awards, there will be an academic conference?” Lu Zhou asked unexpectedly.

"Of course, this is a convention. It is better to say that the award is the best. It is very helpful for you to report at that meeting," Mr. Qiu Lao said with a smile. "But there are only two left." Month, I just dumped so much ink, I think you probably have nothing to publish, and take a break during this time. In December, you should go to the California tour. In addition, through this space, You can also think about it and develop in the next direction... Yes, do you have a general idea?"

Lu Zhou thought about it and said: "I intend to continue to dig deep into the prime number problem, but I have not found a suitable target. Do you have any good suggestions?"

The study of the twin prime conjecture and the Polignac conjecture has almost hampered his whole year of energy. Now the work has come to an end and his mind has not been separated from this work.

Let him choose a suitable proposition from the many propositions about prime numbers to fill the gap. He hasn't figured out which one to start with.

The Jebof conjecture that has settled for more than a hundred years seems quite interesting, similar to the Polignac conjecture, except that one is studying the infinite distance between prime numbers, and the other is that there must be prime numbers between the squares.

There is also a Brocar proposition, and there are at least four prime numbers between the squares of the two prime numbers. This conjecture also has high research value.

Although neither of these conjectures has a twin prime conjecture and a Polygnac conjecture is famous outside the circle, it does not hinder their position in the mathematics world, which is only higher than the two conjectures that Lu Zhou has already completed. .

And these are just one of his options.

“The study of prime numbers is a good direction and has a high status in the field of number theory. The distribution of prime numbers indicates many real-world problems, such as information technology and cryptography,” Mr. Qiu Lao nodded and smiled. “Although I don't have much research on the direction of number theory, but with my understanding of the direction of number theory, your accomplishment in the theory of sieve theory is the most prominent among all the people I have ever seen. Many people think that the theory of sieve theory Chen Jingrun has done the utmost, but now it seems that we are only hindering the limitations of the times. There is still a lot of room for this theory to continue to dig deeper."

After a moment of pause, the old gentleman suddenly threw a bold idea to Lu Zhou.

"If this is the case, why don't you try to challenge Goldbach's conjecture?"

Goldbach Conjecture? !

Lu Zhou stunned slightly.

This……

The span is too big, right? !

Lu Zhou thought for a moment and cautiously replied: "I feel... This conjecture is still a bit difficult for me. Maybe when the timing is right, I will take this proposition out and study it."

Although his mathematics level breaks through lv4, according to the rules of this system, not only the authority of the database is expanded, but also the understanding and analysis ability of mathematics will be enhanced to some extent.

But Goldbach's conjecture is one of the three major mathematical problems in modern times. The difficulty lies in the second step.

Even if the work of the predecessors has pushed the results to "1+", the goal of "1+1" is only a footstep, but it is not so easy to cover the building with the last piece of the roof. Can do it.

Otherwise, this conjecture will not be there, and it has been put on for so many years.

"You understand what I mean by mistake," Mr. Qiu Lao shook his head. "I am not asking you to immediately give this guess an answer or a proof, but let you try to study this method."

"A lot of mathematical conjectures don't have to be proved, so they have achieved significant research results. For example, when we studied Riemann's conjecture, we unexpectedly proved the prime number theorem. The latter's position in the mathematical world at that time was better than The former is much bigger."

"Similarly, the sieve theory is a very sophisticated mathematical tool. Since you can further polish this tool when studying the twin prime guess. By studying the Goethebach conjecture, I think you will get more inspiration from it." At this place, Mr. Qiu Lao suddenly smiled and continued. "Of course, this is just an old man's suggestion. You can refer to it. How to choose it, or look at yourself!"

After listening to Qiu Chengtong's words, Lu Zhou fell into meditation.

What the old gentleman said seems to be a bit reasonable, and the value of the experience behind Goldbach’s conjecture is also full of imagination.

After thinking about it for a while, Lu Zhou solemnly said: "I will seriously consider your suggestion!"
