514: Didn’t Professor Guo solve the Riemann hypothesis?
This kind of offline exchange meeting.
Guo Hao, on the other hand, did not continue to use Chinese because he was also aware that even if they had studied Chinese, it would be quite good if these more than two thousand mathematicians could barely understand written Chinese.
How could they possibly understand Chinese when discussing these professional topics?
It was simply impossible!
Guo Hao still used English.
This made these mathematicians feel relieved. They were really afraid that Guo Hao would still choose to continue speaking about the Riemann Hypothesis in Chinese under the current circumstances.
If that were the case, they would truly be sitting here completely bewildered, unable to understand anything!
Fortunately, Professor Guo didn't do that.
Of course, even if Professor Guo didn't do that, very few of them could understand the content Professor Guo was currently discussing.
Only a handful of people in the front row could keep up with Guo Hao's pace.
Even Professor Tao Zhexuan, who felt he had basically understood the content of the paper, was starting to doubt his life after listening to Guo Hao's explanation.
No, were the things he understood and the things Professor Guo explained the same thing?
Professor Tao Zhexuan sat below the stage, slightly bewildered, watching the content Guo Hao was explaining on the high platform.
Professor Perelman listened intently to what Guo Hao was saying, his gaze occasionally shifting to his notebook.
It was filled with mathematical formulas, the result of his meticulous study of Guo Hao's paper for over ten days.
He quickly scanned the paper in front of him.
He was one of the few people in the entire auditorium who could keep up with Guo Hao's rhythm.
Professor Guo is too amazing!
Listening to the content Guo Hao was explaining, a strong sense of emotion appeared in Professor Perelman's eyes.
As the most cutting-edge mathematical conjecture, Professor Perelman had naturally studied the Riemann Hypothesis and done some related work.
Precisely because he had done so, Professor Perelman understood even more clearly how terrifying this conjecture truly was!
It was simply impossible to solve!
It took about three hours.
Guo Hao explained the entire proof paper of the Riemann Hypothesis, including his problem-solving approach.
After he finished speaking, there was complete silence in the entire auditorium.
Everyone looked at Guo Hao on the stage with bewildered eyes.
"Now, if anyone has questions, you can ask me!"
Guo Hao smiled slightly and calmly said to the mathematicians in front of him.
Hearing Guo Hao's words, the auditorium remained completely silent.
Most of the people didn't understand, and some felt their questions might be too shallow and were hesitant to step forward.
At this moment, Professor Faltings in the front row slowly raised his hand.
Everyone's eyes turned to Professor Faltings, and their hearts were a little excited.
Here he comes, here he comes!
Professor Faltings was known for his strictness and could be said to have exceptional prestige in the entire world of Mathematics.
Furthermore, his level was also extremely high, making him an authority among authorities.
He had also worked on the Riemann Hypothesis for a long time.
At this time, Professor Faltings would definitely step forward, either to question or to raise high-level questions!
Many mathematicians were waiting for Professor Faltings to step forward.
Professor Wiles looked at Professor Faltings next to him, and a hint of something unusual flashed in his eyes.
"As expected..."
Professor Wiles murmured.
Back then, the first person to question his proof paper of Fermats Last Theorem was Professor Faltings, although it was eventually proven that Professor Faltings's questions were reasonable.
Professor Wiles spent over a year revising the proof paper of Fermats Last Theorem before it was finally accepted by the Academic Circle, making it Fermats Last Theorem.
Although he knew that Professor Faltings's questions at the time were reasonable, Professor Wiles still felt a lingering fear.
Seeing a similar scene now, Professor Wiles still felt a lingering fear.
At the same time, he was also very curious about how Professor Guo would deal with Professor Faltings.
Professor Wiles watched Guo Hao on the stage with curiosity in his eyes.
At this moment, Guo Hao's gaze also turned to Professor Faltings next to him.
"Professor Faltings, do you have any questions?"
Guo Hao said with a smile to Professor Faltings.
"Originally, I wanted to talk to you about the matter of you using Chinese in your paper, but just now, after listening to your presentation, I found that using Chinese is just a negligible minor flaw in this paper of yours."
Professor Faltings slowly stood up and calmly said to Guo Hao in front of him.
Hearing Professor Faltings's words, the entire auditorium immediately burst into an uproar.
Everyone could hardly believe their ears. They really didn't expect that Professor Faltings would dare to confront Professor Guo head-on like this!
Everyone watched this scene in front of them excitedly.
Interesting!
Too interesting!
Everyone's eyes were fixed on this spot, afraid of missing even a single detail.
Guo Hao calmly looked at Professor Faltings in front of him.
His expression did not change at all.
"Professor Faltings, feel free to ask any questions you have, I can answer them for you, but I hope you are not intentionally causing trouble!"
The air was thick with tension!
Inside the entire auditorium, everyone's eyes shone with excitement as they watched the scene unfolding before them.
"Regarding page nine, line thirty-seven, page seventeen, line eighty-four, and page sixty-one, the entire page, of your Riemann Hypothesis proof paper, I want to ask, who taught you to use the Sieve method like that?"
Professor Faltings completely ignored the tension in Guo Hao's tone and directly said to Guo Hao.
At this moment, everyone in the entire auditorium picked up their papers and quickly turned to the pages Professor Faltings mentioned.
Professor Zhang Yitang opened the paper and looked at the places Professor Faltings pointed out.
After a quick look, a hint of realization appeared in his eyes.
He murmured to himself.
"So that's it. I was wondering why, looking at this proof, although it seemed very logically sound, there were certain places where I always felt there was a slight problem.
But precisely, I couldn't find where the problem was! So that's it! So that's it!"
At this moment, a hint of admiration appeared in Professor Zhang Yitang's eyes as he looked at Professor Faltings.
He didn't expect Professor Faltings to be able to spot the problem so quickly!
After looking, Zhang Yitang's gaze turned to Guo Hao on the auditorium stage.
He was slightly curious.
How would Professor Guo explain?
Did he really not solve the Riemann Hypothesis?
How could the proof of this conjecture have such a significant flaw?
Professor Tao Zhexuan, who was next to him, also finished looking at those places in the paper. His brows furrowed slightly. He vaguely felt that Professor Guo must have an underlying logic within it.
But precisely, he really couldn't see it. In short, he felt that Professor Faltings's chances of winning might not be that high.
