Great Country Academician

The country where the sun never sets, Cambridge City, Cambridge University, in a quiet villa.

A middle-aged man in a suit rang the doorbell of the villa respectfully.

Even though he is already the editor-in-chief of "New Advances in Mathematics" and a professor of mathematics at Cambridge University, but in front of this person in the villa, he looks so short like other peaks at the foot of Mount Everest.

The doorbell of the villa rang, and after a while, a middle-aged man with gray hair came out and opened the gate to the courtyard.

"What's the matter, Robert?"

The middle-aged and elderly man was dressed in gray casual clothes, looking like an elegant nobleman.

In fact, this is exactly the case. The middle-aged and elderly man in front of him is called William Timothy Gowers, a knight in a country where the sun never sets, and a true nobleman.

Not only that, but he is also one of the ten most influential mathematicians in the world today, a research professor of the Royal Society of the Department of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics at the University of Cambridge in the country where the sun never sets, and a member of the Royal Society of England.

He has won various top mathematics awards in the world, such as the Fields Medal, the European Mathematical Society Award, and the Euler Mathematical Works Award.

His main contributions are in the fields of functional analysis and combinatorics, and he created the Banach space symmetry structure theory.

He cleverly used the method of combinatorics to create a series of completely non-symmetrical structures in the Banach space.

It can be said that he completely changed the geometry of Banach space.

But he won the Fields Medal for another, more remarkable achievement: 'Bridging the fields of functional analysis and combinatorics, opening up new mathematics. '

For this work, the 35-year-old Gowers won the crown of mathematics - the Fields Medal.

Even in Cambridge University, a university where mathematics is the ace major, no one can block his light.

"Sir Gowers, we have received a submission for a proof of a weakened form of the Weyl_Berry conjecture. We have initially reviewed the paper and believe it may solve this ancient conjecture."

"In the field of functional analysis and Banach spaces, you are the real king, so we hope you will take over the final review of this paper."

Robert Morey Dean, editor of "New Advances in Mathematics", said respectfully.

"A weakened proof of Weyl_Berry's conjecture? Just send the paper to my email, you should know."

Hearing Weyl_Berry's conjecture, William Timothy Gowers' eyes flashed with interest.

As the founder of Banach's space symmetry structure theory and a mathematician who connects the fields of functional analysis and combinatorics, he naturally also studied the ancient Weyl_Berry conjecture.

Perhaps it took too much inspiration and energy to connect the fields of functional analysis and combinatorics, or it may be that a series of completely symmetric structures were created in the Banach space. Fixed his thoughts and inspirations, in short, he didn't make much progress on Weyl_Berry's conjecture.

Of course, this has nothing to do with his main research direction.

"It has been sent to your email, and here is the printed paper."

With that said, Robert Morey Dean handed over the printed manuscript of the thesis.

Gowers took the information, flipped through it and said, "Well, I will give you feedback."

"Then I will not bother you sir."

Robert Morey Dean breathed a sigh of relief and took his leave.

It is very difficult and troublesome to get a top expert in mathematics to review manuscripts. Unless the manuscript can arouse the interest of these experts, it is easy to be rejected, and it is even very difficult to be scolded. normal thing.

After all, no one likes to be disturbed frequently by others.

But today is very smooth and very lucky, Sir Gowers has always retained an interest in Weyl_Berry's conjecture.

Robert left, and Gowers closed the courtyard gate with one hand, holding the paper with the other hand, and his eyes fell on the paper.

For the Weyl_Berry conjecture, he also studied it for a period of time, but did not gain much.

And with the transfer of hot fields in the mathematics world, there are fewer and fewer mathematicians who study this area. He hasn't seen any outstanding papers in this area for a long time.

Let him see how good the paper is.

【Spectral asymptotics on connected regions with fractal boundaries and a proof of the weak Weyl_Berry conjecture. 】

[Certificator: Xu Chuan. 】

Seeing the name, Professor Gowers was slightly taken aback.

Xu Chuan?

Are you Chinese? Or Chinese?

There are indeed many outstanding mathematicians from that country, such as Qiu Chengtong and Tao Zhexuan, but he does not seem to remember the name Xu Chuan.

The name he hadn't heard made Gowers frowned slightly. Could it be some parallel import thesis?

However, "New Advances in Mathematics" should not use parallel imports to fool him, unless he will never ask him to review manuscripts in the future.

Thinking of this, Gowers continued to look down.

Holding the paper, he walked towards the house while reading it, but as he flipped through it, his pace became slower and slower, and finally he stood directly in front of the steps at the entrance of the villa, just like that, motionless.

One minute

two minutes.

five minutes.

Professor Gowers stood at his door for nearly half an hour. The more he looked down, the more solemn his face became.

Suddenly, he suddenly opened the door and walked quickly to the study.

Sitting in front of a desk made of mahogany, Gowers pulled out a stack of printing paper from a paper box beside him, and began to use a pen to verify the mathematical formulas and calculation process in the thesis.

More than an hour later, Gowers finally put down the writing pen in his hand, stared at the paper on the table and spit out a standard London accent: "What an excellent proof!"

In his view, the author named Xu Chuan used a rather novel way of proof.

He first made a fairly accurate calculation of the upper and lower bounds of the counting function N(λ) associated with the fractal drum, and then opened a 'small opening' between the non-connected branches of the region, allowing the non-connected region to be connected.

In this way, the example of the non-connected region discussed by the predecessors is turned into the situation of the region. Under such a construction method, the weak Weyl_Berry conjecture is proved to be true.

The whole process was quite smooth and concise, without any nonsense, so unbelievably streamlined that he couldn't even find out where he could optimize it.

Not only that, but the author's English is also quite excellent, with fluent writing and correct interpretation, as if he grew up in English. It is not at all like the papers of some Chinese mathematicians he has reviewed before, and occasionally he can see some crappy papers. words.

More importantly, the author does not feel like a rookie at all in writing papers, but is as skilled as a veteran who has published countless papers and has been in journals for many years.

It can even be said that if he writes it himself, he may not be able to achieve this level, which is simply unbelievable.

But what Gowers can be sure of is that he has indeed never heard of this name in the past.
