Chapter 714

then.

Things were decided so easily.

Gu Lu’s paper on the ‘Geometry-Algebra-Topology Grand Unified Theory’ will be jointly published by four major journals.

but.

Before that, there is one more thing to do.

That is to complete the verification work of the paper.

After all, only papers that pass verification work and prove that the theory stated in them is correct will be eligible for publication.

Gu Lu’s original plan was to have the four major journals cooperate to complete the verification process of the paper.

But later it turned out that this idea was still a bit fanciful.

The four major journals appear to be in harmony but seem to be separate entities.

Although we have a good relationship on the surface.

But in fact, the four journals wanted to start fighting each other as soon as they met.

There is no problem in jointly publishing this paper by Gu Lu.

However, they said that they wanted to cooperate in the verification work of the paper. For a while, they lived under the same roof as the staff of the other three journals. The four major journals were unwilling to say anything.

Gu Lu was also worried that the four major journals might start a fight when they met, so after learning that none of the four major journals agreed to the proposal, he did not force it any further.

only……

Although the four major journals did not agree to Gu Lu's proposal to cooperate in verification, all four promised to complete the verification work of the paper in the shortest possible time.

Gu Lu agreed and agreed that the four major journals would fight on their own.

However, Gu Lu’s request is that the four major journals should try to complete the verification of the paper before the middle of next month.

Because it's mid-April.

Gu Lu's report meeting is about to be officially held.

Gu Lu didn't want to wait until his report meeting was held before the 'geometry-algebra-topology grand unified theory' had not yet been recognized by the mathematical community.

The verification work must be done as soon as possible!

Faced with Gu Lu's request, the four major journals all patted their chests and assured that there would be no problem.

In particular, Editor-in-Chief Macron of "New Advances in Mathematics" said that as early as last night, their magazine had summoned all reviewers in the fields of geometry, algebra, and topology to form a review group and devote themselves to verifying it.

Go to work.

In addition, the magazine "New Advances in Mathematics" also sent a letter of request for assistance to the European Mathematical Society and seconded a group of mathematicians to join the review group.

Gu Lu praised Editor-in-Chief Macron with "Well done" and ended the chat with the four major journals.

…………

Twelve hours after Gu Lu uploaded the paper to arxiv.

The number of comments under the paper is approaching the number of one thousand.

The number of views has reached more than 50,000.

Tell the truth.

Although the number of views of Gu Lu's paper reached more than 50,000 in just twelve hours.

However, basically most mathematicians just quit after reading the abstract on the first few pages and glancing at the table of contents.

There is no other reason.

Most mathematicians do not have the time and energy, let alone the courage, to finish Gu Lu's paper, which is more than 840 pages long.

I don't even have the courage to read it once, let alone test the theories contained in it.

Twelve hours have passed.

Everyone has made up their minds.

It is completely unrealistic to rely solely on one's own strength to verify the theory stated in this paper by Gu Lu.

Only official agencies can take action.

Say Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will come.

At 11:30 a.m., Yanjing time, "New Advances in Mathematics" updated its official website, saying that its journal has cooperated with the European Mathematical Society and successfully formed a review team, which has been involved in the verification of Gu Lu's paper.

.

There are twenty-one members in the review panel, including two Philippine Prize winners, three Cole Algebra Prize winners, three Veblen Prize winners, and five European Mathematical Society Prize winners.

The announcement of "New Advances in Mathematics" made the originally boiling lake even more turbulent.

Before everyone has fully digested it.

Half an hour later.

At the Yanjing time in China, the "Annals of Mathematics" updated a similar announcement on its official website not to be followed by others, and set up a review team to carry out verification work on Gu Lu's paper.

and.

In terms of the level of luxury of the review team, it is not inferior to that of "New Advances in Mathematics", and is even better.

There are three Philippine Prize winners and more than a dozen other world-class mathematics award winners.

So many top mathematicians in the mathematics world have gathered together for one thing: to verify the paper!

In order to form this extremely qualified evaluation group, the "Annals of Mathematics" basically spent a lot of money.

The Annals of Mathematics is backed by Princeton University.

And this time.

Dean Lietz summoned all the Princeton alumni who are currently well-known in the mathematics community and specialize in the three fields of geometry, algebra, and topology at one go, using a lot of connections and favors.

As for the "Journal of the American Mathematical Society" of the four major journals, the review team lineup is also good.

"Journal of the American Mathematical Society" is originally hosted by the American Mathematical Society, and there are many mathematicians available. In addition, this time it has chosen to cooperate with the Clay Mathematics Institute, the world's number one mathematical institute.

This is not as simple as one plus one equals two.

With such a configuration, it is not easy to form a review team.

After a detailed breakdown, one of the four major journals, the Swedish Journal of Mathematics, has the most rudimentary lineup.

However, this simplicity is only relative.

It is more than enough to take out the review team members of the Journal of Mathematics alone and hold a medium-sized academic exchange meeting.

…………

The four major journals, in no particular order, announced the formation of review groups to verify Gu Lu's paper.

As soon as this news came out, many mathematicians were shocked.

If it were only one of the four major journals, they would not feel this way.

But all four of the four major journals at that time!

The four major journals represent absolute authority and transcendent strength in the field of mathematics.

It can be said.

The four major journals are extremely sacred in the minds of many mathematicians.

And this time...

In the face of the unified theory of geometry, algebra and topology, the four major journals seem to have lowered their proud heads.

Carry out verification work.

That means it needs to be officially included in the paper database where its journal is located.

However, the four major journals agreed to form a review team to conduct verification.

It is obvious that the four major journals will jointly publish Gu Lu's paper.

It is not unprecedented for several journals to jointly publish a paper.

But the four major journals jointly published the same paper.

It seems...

In the entire history of mathematics, it is unique!

Just this one example!

Think about it this way.
Chapter completed!
