278: Mathematicians from around the world gather in Dragon Country!

Professor Wiles smiled and looked at Professor Faltings beside him.

Professor Faltings nodded.

"People there respect Mathematics very much, and I have a good impression of Dragon Country people!"

The news about the academic conference on Goldbachs Conjecture was spreading in the top Mathematics circles, and many people were thinking of going.

Most top mathematicians were also discussing this matter.

Dean Tian Gang sat in his office.

He looked at his invitation letter with a complicated expression.

Although he had painstakingly pulled Guo Hao into Peking University's joint training program, in the end, Guo Hao still had no sense of belonging to Peking University.

A genius not cultivated by us, the help to Peking University is still not great!

Thinking of this, Tian Gang sighed slightly.

An academic conference like this on the proof of Goldbachs Conjecture, if hosted by Peking University, would greatly enhance Peking University's academic status in Mathematics worldwide!

What a pity!

Everyone knows that Guo Hao graduated from Yan Aviation, but how many people know that he also has a Dr. degree from Peking University?

Thinking of this, Tian Gang's eyes were filled with helplessness.

It's too much of a pity!

A few days passed in a flash.

During this time, mathematicians from all over the world began to converge on Beijing.

Because of special care from higher authorities.

Therefore, for these mathematicians holding Yan Aviation invitation letters, there were many benefits, whether it was in terms of visas or on the plane.

Dragon Country showed a sufficiently inclusive attitude, embracing all rivers, and was sufficiently tolerant of mathematicians from all over the world.

Zhang Yitang sat on the plane returning to the country, the scenery outside the window was beautiful, but he had no mind to look at it.

At this time, his eyes were completely attracted by the stack of papers in his hand.

It was a paper on the proof of Goldbachs Conjecture.

In April last year, Zhang Yitang published "Bounded Gaps Between Prime Numbers" in "Annals of Mathematics".

He proved the existence of infinitely many pairs of prime numbers whose gap is less than 70 million, thus making an important breakthrough on the major problem of number theory, the Twin Prime Conjecture.

He has the opportunity to challenge Goldbachs Conjecture in the field of Mathematics.

During the summer vacation this year, Professor Zhang Yitang was very curious about Guo Hao, this young man, a junior in Dragon Country, who actually solved the Warings Problem.

And had the opportunity to give a one-hour closing report at the International Congress of Mathematicians, just like himself.

He originally wanted to take advantage of this conference to meet this young man properly and ask some questions he had always been very curious about.

But unexpectedly, Guo Hao suddenly had something to do and did not come to Seoul, which made Zhang Yitang a little disappointed.

And what was even more unexpected was that only a month after the International Congress of Mathematicians.

Guo Hao actually posted a proof of Goldbachs Conjecture on arxiv!

Could it be that the reason why Guo Hao did not attend the International Congress of Mathematicians before was because his research had reached a critical moment and he didn't want to waste time?

If that was the case, Zhang Yitang could completely understand.

It's just that now he has to return to Dragon Country to attend the academic conference on Goldbachs Conjecture...

Zhang Yitang's eyes were a little complicated.

He had left Dragon Country... it had been a long, long time...

He had experienced too much in America over the years.

For some reason, Zhang Yitang felt a sense of being more timid the closer he got to home.

The plane slowly landed at the airport.

Zhang Yitang got off the plane.

Walking out of the arrival gate

"You are Professor Zhang Yitang, right!"

Shing-Tung Yau stood at the arrival gate waiting for Zhang Yitang, his face full of smiles, looking at Professor Zhang Yitang.

"Professor Qiu!"

Zhang Yitang looked at Shing-Tung Yau in front of him with some surprise.

He didn't expect that this top Mathematics Professor, who was so famous in the Chinese world, would actually come to pick him up, which made him feel a little flattered.

"Professor Zhang, you haven't been back to the country for a long time, have you!"

Shing-Tung Yau's face was smiling.

"Yes."

Zhang Yitang nodded.

"I'll take you to settle down first!"

Shing-Tung Yau looked at Zhang Yitang with a smile.

Just as he was about to take Zhang Yitang away.

"Professor Qiu!"

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the side, and both Shing-Tung Yau and Zhang Yitang turned to look.

"Professor Cher?"

Shing-Tung Yau looked at Professor Cher beside him with some surprise.

"You didn't tell me you were coming!"

Professor Cher smiled.

"Hey, this is a grand event in the Mathematics circle. I heard that Professor Wiles, Professor Delyne, and Professor Faltings will all come.

It will be very lively then! That's Goldbachs Conjecture! I'm so curious!

Professor Cher is an Associate Professor at Cambridge University.

He is a top mathematical genius.

"Very good."

Shing-Tung Yau smiled.

"Then Cher, come along!"

They were all old acquaintances.

Shing-Tung Yau took Professor Cher and Professor Zhang Yitang to the car beside them.

Sitting in the car.

Soon Shing-Tung Yau took the two of them to Yan Aviation Weishi Hotel.

"This place is one of the arrangements. Yan Aviation invited quite a few scholars this time. I'll help you check in first, otherwise, it will be inconvenient to arrange later!"

Shing-Tung Yau said to the two with a smile.

After showing their invitation letters and verifying their names.

The hotel staff did not charge them any money and let them check in for free.

This is Yan Aviation's wealth.

Or rather, this itself is also showing Yan Aviation's strength.

After getting settled in.

The three of them, Shing-Tung Yau, sat in the lobby downstairs of Weishi Hotel.

"Have you read that paper on Goldbachs Conjecture?"

Shing-Tung Yau asked the two in front of him with a smile.

Both of them nodded.

At this time, Professor Shing-Tung Yau's eyes were smiling as he looked at Zhang Yitang beside him and asked.

"Professor Zhang, what do you think? Only you here specialize in number theory. You should be the most knowledgeable about Goldbachs Conjecture here. What do you think? About that paper?

Do you think Guo Hao has solved Goldbachs Conjecture?"

"It's hard to say."

Zhang Yitang was very cautious.

He hesitated slightly, looked at Professor Shing-Tung Yau in front of him, and said.

"But I've read that paper three times and haven't found any loopholes in it."

"You are really cautious."

Professor Shing-Tung Yau smiled slightly, looking at Zhang Yitang in front of him.

"I think he has solved Goldbachs Conjecture."

"Indeed, I think so too, but I don't quite understand the method he used."

Professor Cher beside him showed a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

"I remember that the main methods for solving number theory problems are concentrated in the Hardy–Littlewood circle method and the Sieve method!

There are other methods, but the main methods are still these two, but Guo Hao's method, I feel a little familiar, but... I can't quite figure it out?

It feels particularly interesting! Although I don't quite understand, the proof process is unexpectedly rigorous and very interesting!

I always feel that Guo Hao's method can be further generalized!"

When talking about the paper, Cher was slightly excited.
