why?
The title of this paper?
Petel frowned slightly and hung his left hand in the air.
Peter's conjecture does not belong to the field of BSD.
But as a mathematician who has a wide range of knowledge, he is naturally aware of the process of proof in the field of BSD conjecture.
Since nine years ago, two mathematicians, Ying Guo and de Gu Guo, proved that the weak BSD conjecture holds when the analytic rank is 0, there has been no breakthrough in the whole field of BSD conjecture.
The reason is not that there are too few mathematicians to study the BSD conjecture.
As one of the seven mathematical conjectures of the millennium, coupled with the $1 million incentive, how can fewer mathematicians devote themselves to this field.
As far as Peters himself knows, there are no less than ten mathematicians who stand at the top of the world's mathematics, including the BSD conjecture.
One of his old friends, Professor Michelle, who is currently the associate dean of the school of mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley, is one of the top mathematicians who have been immersed in the field of BSD conjecture for more than a decade.
Now, it is hard to avoid being a little surprised to see such a contribution paper entitled ”proof of weak BSD conjecture when analytic rank is 1”.
Even he, who is not a senior person who studies the BSD conjecture, knows clearly that once the proof process in the paper is verified to be correct, it will definitely play a huge role in promoting the proof of BSD conjecture.
Having settled his mind, Professor Peters put the cup of coffee back on the table. His eyes after aging glasses showed a rare look of great seriousness.
After skipping the title, he looked first at the author of the paper.
Fang Ruoyu, Cheng Nuo.
Chinese?
Peters is not surprised.
With the rise of several Chinese mathematicians, this trend is more and more obvious.
Nowadays, several big mathematical countries, led by the United States and Ying, are striving to improve their own level and cultivate excellent mathematicians. If they are not careful, they will be caught up by China.
Peters has always had no contempt for Chinese mathematicians and treated contributions from Chinese mathematicians in the same way as other countries.
Besides, there is also a name that he sounds familiar to him: Fang Ruoyu.
A few years ago, he was invited to give lectures in China. For a period of time, he had several conversations with Professor Fang. He felt that China was indeed a place full of hidden dragons and tigers.
But when Fang Ruoyu's name was there, Peter had no thought of scorn.
Maybe, this Chinese mathematician can really surprise the whole mathematical world, maybe?
Peters lost his mind for a few seconds, then went over the paper line by line without hesitation.
Tick ~ tick ~
on one side, the clock kept turning.
Peters was sitting on the bamboo chair on the balcony, looking very serious and studying the contents of the paper, as if he had forgotten the passage of time.
The mobile phone on the coffee table in the living room has been buzzing, but petel is not aware of it.
Time passed slowly, and the clock on the wall came to 3:30 p.m.
Before he knew it, Professor Peters had been reading the paper for more than four hours.
It can be said that this has never happened since Peters was a peer reviewer.
