223: Target! Mathematics Yearbook!

Shen Luoyan nodded gently.

The two shared a tender moment.

Guo Hao returned to his computer.

"Hao Ge, which journal are you planning to submit to?"

Shen Luoyan asked Guo Hao, slightly curious.

""Annals of Mathematics", I think."

Guo Hao pondered for a moment, looking at Shen Luoyan as he spoke.

"One of the four major journals in the Academic Circle?"

"Exactly."

Guo Hao smiled.

"My paper hasn't been published in such a high-level journal before! This paper is quite suitable."

"Alright!"

Shen Luoyan nodded.

Guo Hao clicked open the submission page for Mathematics Annals' editor and submitted his paper.

After doing this, Guo Hao felt a sense of relief.

"You should go to bed early tonight! You stayed up all night yesterday and spent the whole day today organizing the paper. Even if you were made of iron, you couldn't handle it!"

Shen Luoyan said to Guo Hao.

"Okay!"

Guo Hao did indeed feel a trace of fatigue.

The effect of the stimulant was also about to wear off.

This kind of drug was essentially overdrawing Guo Hao's entire body.

After Shen Luoyan left, Guo Hao quickly washed up a bit, lay down on the bed, and soon fell asleep.

Just as Guo Hao was sleeping.

Inside the "Annals of Mathematics" editorial office.

Contrary to what most people think, the more top-tier a journal is, the fewer papers it receives.

Most of the time, editors can directly eliminate the majority of papers based solely on the title.

And among the remaining papers, ninety percent have flaws that the on-duty editors can spot.

And then they are directly rejected.

Therefore, the work of editors at such top-tier journals is actually not very busy.

Editor Frank sat comfortably in his seat, poured himself a cup of coffee, opened his email, and began the day's process of sifting through papers.

His gaze swept over the papers in his inbox; they were basically all quite ordinary.

Papers like these, wanting to get into Mathematics Annals?

It was simply impossible!

Mathematics Annals only publishes groundbreaking results.

"Hmm?"

Frank, who had been leisurely scanning the papers, suddenly had his eyes light up.

"On the Proof of the Warings Problem"

The paper's title was concise, but the content it represented was anything but simple.

The Warings Problem!

This conjecture is considered a relatively significant one in the field of number theory.

If someone had really proven this conjecture, that would be interesting!

Frank glanced at the author's name and affiliation.

hao.guo?

A Dragon Country national? A name he hadn't heard of.

Seeing this author's name, Frank's expectations immediately diminished considerably.

It wasn't the masterpiece of a well-known mathematician, but just the work of an unknown person from Dragon Country.

Based on Frank's years of work experience, this meant that the paper was very likely just garbage.

Although disappointed, Frank, in accordance with the professional ethics of a professional editor, clicked open the paper and began to look through it.

After reading the first two pages, Frank's expression gradually became serious.

This paper is not simple!

Frank didn't know if this person named Guo Hao had really solved the Warings Problem.

But just the first two pages of this paper were enough to prove that this Guo Hao was definitely a very capable mathematician; at the very least, Frank couldn't see through the paper yet.

After reading for a while longer, Frank's expression became increasingly serious.

The editor-in-chief needs to take a look!

Frank printed out the paper and quickly went to the editor-in-chief's office.

This year's editor-in-chief of Mathematics Annals is Professor Deligne, a tenured Professor at Princeton.

At this time, Professor Deligne was working on a project.

"Professor Delyne, here is a paper that needs your review."

Professor Frank's eyes showed a hint of excitement as he spoke to Professor Deligne.

Hearing Professor Frank's words, Professor Deligne stopped writing.

He pushed up his glasses and looked at Frank, asking.

"What?"

"Regarding the proof of the Warings Problem!"

Frank was very excited.

After all, having such a paper reviewed by him was also a great honor for Frank.

"Let me see!"

Hearing Frank's words, Professor Deligne's expression immediately became serious.

Although Professor Deligne is a top expert in the field of algebraic Geometry.

But when it comes to number theory, Professor Deligne has also done some research.

The Warings Problem is quite famous in the Academic Circle, and Professor Deligne is aware of it.

Frank quickly handed the paper to Professor Deligne.

He started reading directly from the main body.

Professor Deligne's expression became increasingly serious.

"Send this paper to Professor Wiles; he is the most suitable reviewer for this paper."

After reading about half of it, Professor Deligne said seriously to Frank, who was standing by.

"Also Professor Faltings, I believe this paper will also catch his attention!"

"Yes, Editor-in-Chief!"

Seeing Professor Deligne's expression, Frank felt a little excited.

He knew that this paper had a high probability of having really solved the Warings Problem!

This also meant that under his purview, there was another paper that solved a world-renowned conjecture!

This was also a great thing for his career!

Thinking of this, Frank, with excitement on his face, returned to his office and, according to Professor Deligne's request, sent review invitations to Professor Andrew Wiles and Professor Faltings.

And he included Professor Deligne's request, concerning the proof of the Warings Problem!

After sending these out.

Professor Wiles and Professor Faltings quickly accepted the review invitations and the manuscript.

"Interesting, a proof of the Warings Problem?"

Professor Wiles's eyes showed a glimmer of interest as he looked at the review invitation from Mathematics Annals in front of him.

The paper had already been sent to his email.

He had his student print out the paper.

Professor Wiles wasn't very used to reviewing on a computer.

After all, mathematical papers are often dozens or even hundreds of pages long, and reviewing on a computer means the font is too small and flipping pages is too troublesome.

Looking at the printed paper in front of him, Professor Wiles slowly began to turn the pages.

When reading it the first time, Wiles's speed was very fast.

It took him about two or three hours to reach the end of the paper.

After finishing it, Professor Wiles's eyes showed a glimmer of interest.

"Interesting! Really interesting! The Warings Problem, was it actually solved like this???"

Professor Wiles opened the paper again and began to read slowly from the first page.

He read for a long time.

"Phew! Amazing! A very clever method, not entirely a linear Sieve method, but it still seems to be within the scope of the Sieve method, very impressive!"

Professor Wiles's eyes were full of admiration.

He had also researched the Warings Problem before, or rather, mathematicians who study number theory have all, more or less, come into contact with this conjecture.

But it has been almost three hundred years, and the final form of the proof for this conjecture still stands strong, which is enough to prove how formidable it is.
