Chapter 309

Four years.

With Gu Lu's ability, Simon would never think that Gu Lu would not be able to produce a result comparable to the arithmetic prime number conjecture.

If nothing else happens, one of the four Philippine Prize quotations at the next International Congress of Mathematicians will be Gu Lu’s name.

Gu Lu shook his head, smiled, and said to Simon, "You are not the same."

Same as Gu Lu.

Simon also has a great chance of winning the Fields Medal at the next International Congress of Mathematicians.

Mentioned it before.

In fact, at this year's International Congress of Mathematicians, Simon has the ability to compete for the Fields Medal.

The distance between Simon and the Fields Medal is only one layer of window paper.

And bab's guess is that Simon can pierce through the window paper.

But, the key is...

Gu Lu appears!

Then replaced that layer of window paper with tempered glass!

If Gu Lu hadn't come through midway, Simon's name would definitely be among the four new Philippine Award winners this year.

And Simon doesn't need to wait another four years.

But four years later, Simon was only 38 years old and still within the awarding period stipulated by the Philippine Awards.

The situation of Simon and Gu Lu is similar.

As long as a result similar to Bab's conjecture is made within the next four years, the Fields Medal will definitely be obtained.

There is no doubt about this either!

Gu Lu and Simon looked at each other, raised their glasses, clinked them, and drank them all in one gulp.

Everything is left unsaid.

The two future Philippine Awards tycoons have temporarily reached a tacit understanding.

But Su Xi, who was sitting nearby and had been watching the two people's movements, became confused.

…………

There was plenty of food and wine, and the table was in a mess.

This guy Simon is very addicted to alcohol, but his drinking capacity is not good.

After just one or two bottles of red wine, he looked a little tipsy.

Simon unbuttoned a few buttons on his shirt and leaned back in the chair like a muddy figure regardless of the image.

Hiccup~~

Simon burped.

The smell of wine mixed with the smell of garlic scallops made Gu Lu sit beside him and lean his seat in the direction of Su Xi.

"What are your plans next?" Simon said while drinking red wine.

He blushed, smelled of alcohol, and looked at Gu Lu.

"What's the arrangement?" Gu Lu was leisurely picking up the meat in the snails with a toothpick and eating. Suddenly he heard Simon ask this and couldn't help but ask a question.

Simon held on to the armrests of the chair and managed to straighten up, "I mean, what is your new topic?"

New topic?

This is not the first person to ask Gu Lu about new topics.

After all, as a popular figure in today's mathematics world, Gu Lu's every move is watched by many people.

And Gu Lu’s new topic is even more top priority.

But regarding this issue, Gu Lu has always had a prevaricating attitude towards the outside world.

Gu Lu didn't say anything clearly and just let the outside world's mathematicians guess.

No matter how they guess, they can't guess right.

However, Gu Lu had no need to hide what Simon said.

Gu Lu put down the toothpick in his hand and said seriously, "I have a bold plan!"

Simon's interest was instantly aroused, "What bold plan?"

"We can't talk about this for now." Gu Lu smiled mysteriously, "But I can tell you about the content of the new topic."

"you say."

"Hodge's conjecture!"

"What?!"

"Hodge's conjecture!"

Simon's drunkenness was mostly sobered by these four words from Gu Lu.

Because the news he heard was really too shocking.

"Is it that Hodge's conjecture?" Simon swallowed subconsciously.

Gu Lu shrugged and smiled, "Is there a second Hodge conjecture in mathematics?"

Hodge's conjecture, one of the seven major problems of the millennium world!

Its content is that on non-singular complex projective algebraic varieties, any Hodge class is a rational linear combination of algebraic closed-chain classes.

The Hodge conjecture is a major unsolved problem in the field of algebraic geometry.

At the same time, it is also the most difficult conjecture in the entire field of geometry.

Even among the world's seven major problems, Hodge's conjecture is enough to rank in the top three in terms of difficulty.

The Goldbach's conjecture as we know it is not even on the list of the world's seven major mathematical problems.

Another Riemann Hypothesis, only ranked fifth in difficulty.

The Hodge conjecture was proposed in 1924.

However, nearly a hundred years have passed, and the breakthrough progress that mathematicians have made in the field of Hodge's conjecture can still only be described as minimal.

Because the difficulty of studying this conjecture is too high.

The status of Hodge's conjecture in the entire geometric world is equivalent to an existence like Mount Everest.

Look up high and stop, look at it with fear!

It's so powerful that people can't even think of challenging it.

The Bab conjecture is a relatively well-known conjecture in the geometry world.

But in the face of Hodge's conjecture, it is completely inadequate.

Therefore, when he heard Gu Lu say that the research content of the new topic was Hodge's conjecture, Simon was extremely shocked!

"Are you crazy to challenge the Hodge conjecture?" Simon asked in disbelief.

Simon wondered if Gu Lu was floating or inflated!

Hodge wondered how that could exist.

Even if all the Fields Medal winners in the field of geometry who are still alive in the world are awarded, it is estimated that there is no more than 50% certainty that this conjecture can be solved!

The Hodge conjecture is a conjecture in the field of algebraic geometry.

Simon is one of the world's greatest geniuses in the field of algebraic geometry.

Simon is very clear about the hell-level difficulty of Hodge's conjecture.

Gu Lu is very strong, which is indeed good!

But now Gu Lu is at best comparable to the average Philippine Award winner.

Facing such a behemoth as Hodge's conjecture, it is still invincible.

…………

"I'm not crazy!"

Hearing Simon's words, Gu Lu couldn't help but smile bitterly.

This guy didn't even listen to what I had to say.

Gu Lu smiled and explained, "Of course I won't directly challenge the Hodge conjecture without knowing it. Just listen to what I have to say."

"The research content of my new project is indeed that the Hodge conjecture is good, but it is not the generalized Hodge conjecture you think, but the narrow Hodge conjecture!"

The Hodge conjecture is divided into the generalized Hodge conjecture and the narrowed Hodge conjecture.
