Top Student at Their Peak-Chapter 957 - 347: The Enlightened July
Although Tao Xuanzhi already felt hunger pangs, he didn’t rush to eat but instead took a moment to summarize.
First, establish the fiber bundle decomposition, then decouple the differential operator, extend and handle the singularity via analytic continuation, and construct corrections through hyperbolic conformal mapping with modular forms interpolation...
There are three main difficulties: identifying the modal disturbance term, constructing the homotopy operator, and then creating the stratified decomposition...
On the surface, the problem seems to be complex calculations, but in truth, it’s not so simple even if given to a computer.
The real core difficulty is whether there is a profound unified understanding of the modal number structure.
The final result translated into an email address and a phone number: [email protected].
What left Tao Xuanzhi most speechless was that phone number.
It was practically Qiao Yu’s semi-public number.
Honestly, Tao Xuanzhi had almost never called that number.
If he needed to contact Qiao Yu, he preferred calling another private number.
As for this semi-public number, it was usually held by a person always next to Qiao Yu, and calling it wouldn’t allow direct communication with Qiao Yu.
After grimacing slightly, Tao Xuanzhi sent an email to this address as prompted, inquiring about the specific time of the conference and requesting the introductory materials of the content to be presented.
Both were equally important. Particularly the latter, which was the reason Tao Xuanzhi wanted to solve this problem, even if it meant sacrificing sleep and meals.
Ordinary conferences could be disregarded, but a conference by Qiao Yu, especially one that clearly proposed new things, would be difficult to endure without prior understanding of what Qiao Yu was going to discuss.
In this era, even top mathematicians would feel perplexed when first encountering a new field.
There’s an old saying in Huaxia: "Changing to a different field is like crossing a mountain."
Applied to mathematics, it’s quite the same. Even transitioning to a different research direction feels like a mountain in between.
Especially research work in the subdivided frontier areas of mathematics, which is even more the case.
Before Qiao Yu proposed the Generalized Modal Axiomatic System, the subdivision level of mathematics frontiers was beyond imagination.
For example, in Algebraic Geometry, a derived category could branch into over a dozen sub-directions, and each direction had its own exclusive language.
Even now, with Qiao Yu using the Generalized Modal Axiomatic System to unify many subdivisions by reconstructing spaces,
the unity of symbols and mathematical language indeed solved many mathematicians’ issues.
But even under the same major branch, the specific problems different research directions focus on, the techniques they use, and their ways of thinking still vary greatly.
Honestly, Tao Xuanzhi was quite confident in this regard.
After all, he was recognized as one of the most diversely involved mathematicians in the mathematical community.
He made achievements in numerous mathematical research directions. However, facing Qiao Yu’s new theory, Tao Xuanzhi maintained a humble attitude.
To know the content of this conference in advance within permitted rules would naturally be ideal.
Of course, he could directly call Qiao Yu.
Tao Xuanzhi also believed that if he asked, Qiao Yu wouldn’t make things difficult for him.
But Tao Xuanzhi didn’t want to embarrass himself.
He couldn’t possibly admit he can’t solve that problem, right?
After sending the email to Qiyue, he was about to head out for some food when a reply arrived instantly.
Well, it didn’t surprise Tao Xuanzhi too much.
This indicated that there was probably an auto-reply set up on the other side.
During this period, any email sent to this address would receive a fixed response.
So Tao Xuanzhi decided to wait a little longer, casually clicked open the email.
"Congratulations, Professor Tao, on becoming the second mathematician worldwide to solve the problem on the invitation, thereby earning an invitation to attend this conference.
The conference will be held on June 13, 2038, Sunday, at 10 AM Beijing Time, at the Yanbei International Mathematics Research Center.
Since you are the second mathematician worldwide to solve the problem on the invitation, your seat will be at position two of this conference. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
And you will enjoy special services for the top ten worldwide who solved the problem, including but not limited to booking flight tickets, dedicated airport pickup, and free accommodation during the conference, etc.
If you need these services, you may call the number mentioned in the problem, and July will be dedicated to providing you with the best service.
Please download the attachment to understand the basic materials of the course content for this conference."
...
The second worldwide?
Tao Xuanzhi suddenly became very curious about who was the first to solve this problem.
It’s inevitable; this is that damned competitive nature of men.
In an instant, several names popped into Tao Xuanzhi’s head, but he felt these people might not have been faster than him.
However, considering the time difference, it was already five hours after this email had been sent when he opened it.
If the other party saw this email one or two hours before him, Tao Xuanzhi thought it was acceptable.
Of course, that’s not necessarily the case.
After seeing this email, Tao Xuanzhi suddenly didn’t feel hungry anymore.
So he simply picked up the phone next to him and directly dialed Qiao Yu’s semi-public number.
The call was quickly answered, but it was not the voice he was familiar with. Moreover, the voice on the phone sounded peculiarly young, even somewhat immature.
For a moment, Tao Xuanzhi even suspected it was Qiao Yu’s kid, who was still in elementary school, answering the call.
But he quickly dismissed this thought.
Even though Qiao Yu’s actions in some matters were indeed unexpected.
