The Science Fiction World of Xueba

Japan, Kyoto.

Shingo Taketa, director of the Institute of Mathematics and Physics at Kyoto University, knocked on the door of Shinichi Mochizuki's apartment.

"Xinyi, Xinyi, are you at home?"

It has been two days since Pang Xuelin's report was over, and the reporters almost broke the gate of the Institute of Mathematics and Physics of Kyoto University. It is expected that Wangyue Xinyi never showed up, and he didn't even answer the phone calls. .

Takeda Shingo had to rush to Mochizuki's house to see what happened.

After a while, the door of the room opened, and Mochizuki poked his head out with an unshaven beard and a tired face.

Seeing Shingo Takeda, Mochizuki Shinichi asked a little strangely, "Takeda, why are you here?"

Takeda Shingo frowned and said, "You haven't come to school for two days, and no one answered your phone call. We are all worried that something happened to you..."

Mochizuki said: "I'm fine, I've been studying Pang's writing on the blackboard for the past two days..."

"How is the research going? Do you think he proved the ABC conjecture?"

Takeda Shingo asked quickly.

In the past two days, the video of Pang Xuelin's lecture held in Paris has spread all over the world, and the entire mathematics community is studying his Ponzi geometry and the proof process of the ABC conjecture.

At present, many mathematicians far away from Abelian geometry have publicly expressed their opinions and approved Pang Xuelin's proof.

This put a lot of pressure on Shingo Takeda.

You must know that after Mochizuki Shinichi published the ABC conjecture proof paper, he was supported by the Institute of Mathematics and Physics of Kyoto University. If Mochizuki Shinichi’s proof is really problematic, whether it is for Mochizuki Shinichi’s academic reputation or Kyoto University The Institute of Mathematics and Physics was a major blow.

"You come in first."

Mochizuki Shinichi let Takeda Shingo into the room, poured Takeda Shingo a glass of water, and then poured himself a glass of water. After Gululu finished drinking the glass of water, he wiped his mouth and said, "Taketa, I was wrong, Pang is That’s right! I’m going to China. Ponzi geometry is a major upgrade to Grothendieck’s Far Abelian geometry. In a sense, he opened up new mathematics, and I can feel that Ponzi geometry is still There is a lot of potential that can be tapped, and I want to have a good chat with Pang."

Takeda Shingo had just drank some water, and almost spit it out when he heard the words.

Mochizuki Shinichi is notoriously stubborn and conceited. His paper on the abc conjecture has been published for so many years. Although the mathematics community generally does not approve of his paper, Mochizuki Shinichi always insists that he is right.

Even Peter Schultz, the winner of the Fields Medal last year, and Jacob Stix, another top scholar in the field of far-Abelian geometry, came to refute them specifically, and Mochizuki returned them one by one.

Originally, he was still thinking that even if Pang Xuelin really proved the ABC conjecture, as long as Mochizuki Shinichi didn't agree, then there would still be wrangling.

But he never expected that Mochizuki Shinichi himself would surrender before anyone made a move.

Takeda Shingo said: "Xinyi, are you sure Pang Xuelin's proof is correct?"

Mochizuki nodded and said, "One hundred percent sure!"

In fact, the night before, after he had read the theoretical framework of Ponzi geometry, he realized that he had lost.

Shinichi Mochizuki can be regarded as the most authoritative scholar in the field of Far Abelian geometry. Therefore, for Ponzi geometry, which is also based on the theory of Far Abelian geometry, Shinichi Mochizuki can see at a glance the forward-looking and innovative nature of his theoretical framework. Superiority.

Compared with Ponzi geometry, the generalized Teichmiller theory that I have painstakingly worked out is like the relationship between a spear and a machine gun.

In the past two days, Mochizuki Shinichi has been studying the related content of Ponzi geometry.

The more he researched, the more he could feel the profoundness and broadness of this theory. Even through Ponzi geometry, he found the logical flaw in his proof of the ABC conjecture by generalizing Teich-Miller theory.

Because of this, Mochizuki lost his desire to win early on. On the contrary, he was a little impatient to meet Pang Xuelin and discuss with him the relevant theories and applications of Ponzi geometry.

Taketa Shingo didn't know Mochizuki Shinichi's mental journey, so he was so surprised when he saw such a big change in him.

Taketa Shingo frowned and said, "Shinichi, it's okay to go to China, but I hope you don't reveal your thoughts to the outside world for now, after all, those reporters don't care whether you did it on purpose or not, if you admit your conjecture about ABC If you prove that you are wrong, then not only will all your efforts over the years be in vain, but what awaits you at that time may be all kinds of verbal criticism..."

"Reporter?" Mochizuki frowned and said, "How about this, Takeda, help me arrange a press conference, the sooner the better."

Shingo Taketa was slightly taken aback, and said, "Shinichi, what do you want to do?"

Mochizuki said: "In short, you help me arrange it first, I have something to announce later..."

Takeda Shingo frowned, but finally nodded in agreement under Mochizuki Shinichi's insistence.

...

When the plane that Pang Xuelin and Qi Xin took landed at Pudong International Airport, it was already the beginning of the lights.

This return trip flew from Paris to Magic City, and the two also experienced a transit at Dubai Airport. It took a total of 17 hours, nearly five hours more than when they went there.

Pang Xuelin and Qi Xin pushed their luggage out of the international passenger exit, and they were greeted by a dazzling flash of lights.

Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen reporters surrounded Pang Xuelin like hungry wolves.

"Professor Pang, many scholars in the field of mathematics have recognized your Ponzi geometry theory. How sure are you of the proof of the ABC conjecture?"

"Professor Pang, it is said that the School of Mathematical Sciences of Jiangnan University has added you to the list of candidates for academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. What do you think of this incident?"

"Professor Pang, not long ago, Professor Mochizuki Shinichi of Kyoto University held a press conference, admitting that there were problems with his generalized Teich-Miller theory and the proof of the ABC conjecture, and at the same time approved your theory and proof. What do you think about it? What do you think of Professor Shinichi Mochizuki's statement?"

...

Pang Xuelin was slightly taken aback.

Mochizuki Shinichi held a press conference to approve his theory, which was somewhat beyond his expectations.

Because from Schultz's mouth, Mochizuki Shinichi gave him the impression of being stubborn and conceited. It is not that simple to make him change his view on one thing.

Pang Xuelin thought for a while and said, "Dear reporters, it's not a problem for us to be stuck at the passenger exit all the time. Let's find a place to have a good chat. I have to drive back to Jiangcheng next time, so I can only answer everyone. Five questions, please understand."

After Pang Xuelin said this, the reporters were not in such a hurry.

At this time, the airport security also rushed over to help maintain order.

After knowing the specific situation, the airport specially arranged a VIP lounge for Pang Xuelin to accept interviews with reporters.
