Jiang Quansheng looked at the report materials prepared on his laptop and felt that his throat was a little dry and his heartbeat was a little accelerated.

Because this second set of expressions about the Riemann Hypothesis was not his research result, but something he bought on a dark web, and it came with an incomplete derivation process.

These purchased research results are all handwritten manuscripts. The writing is not standardized, and there are traces of being crumpled and then re-expanded. They are mostly the original author's drafts of the derivation process. They were later thrown into the trash can, but were picked up by others.

And put it for sale on the dark web.

The seller had certain mathematical skills, and the title stated "Research Results on Riemann Hypothesis Expressions." It was originally priced at 10,000 dollars. Later, when no one took it for a while, the price continued to be reduced, and finally it was reduced to only ten thousand dollars.

Jiang Quansheng accidentally saw it and bought it for one-third of the price.

Both parties to transactions on the dark web are anonymous. Jiang Quansheng doesn’t even know who the counterparty of the transaction is, let alone the original owner of these handwritten manuscripts. However, from the Chinese language used in the handwritten manuscripts, it can be judged that the author should be from Xia State.

.The trader is most likely a relative of the author, a servant, a student, or the like.

What really impressed Jiang Quansheng and made him pay for these handwritten manuscripts was that he found that the mathematical derivation process in some of the screenshots he sold was rigorous and profound. Obviously, the owner of the handwritten manuscripts had a very deep foundation in mathematics, and it was far beyond his level.

Jiang Quansheng is above.

One thousand dollars is nothing to Jiang Quansheng. He originally bought it with the intention of learning from it. But after completing the transaction and obtaining the scanned copies of these handwritten manuscripts and reading them carefully, Jiang Quansheng was shocked.

Although the front part is missing, resulting in only the recommended process for the last four of the five expressions, the derivation process of the last four expressions alone is enough to be amazing.

Although some pages have errors and have been painted over, overall, the derivation process is rigorous and detailed, with almost no flaws. It is indeed an extremely rare academic achievement in studying the Riemann Hypothesis!

Is there actually a mathematical master in Xia who has studied the Riemann Hypothesis so deeply?

In Jiang Quansheng's impression, the most famous person in Xia Guoli regarding the Riemann Hypothesis was probably Qin Ke, the mathematical genius student who was said to be miraculous.

Qin Ke published three papers on the Riemann Hypothesis more than a year ago, and also proposed a new direction of using core expressions to crack the Riemann Hypothesis. These five academic achievements are named the "Second Group of Expressions"

, which is research along the new direction pointed out by Qin Ke before.

But what Jiang Quansheng is sure of is that the original owner of these handwritten manuscripts is definitely not Qin Ke.

Because Jiang Quansheng specially asked Qin Ke to write the video "Lime Number Theory Fourth-order Transformation Method" on a handwriting board at Princeton University, and compared the handwriting, Qin Ke's handwriting was different from the handwriting on this manuscript. Jiang Quansheng

I even suspect that even Qin Ke may not be able to derive such clever five expressions.

It is even more impossible to be Qin Ke's girlfriend Ning Qingyun, because the strokes are straight and vigorous, clearly a male's handwriting, and just looking at the regular regular script of this hand, I am afraid that she has decades of calligraphy skills, and it is definitely not Ning Qingyun.

This is something a girl under twenty years old can write.

Jiang Quansheng tried to find the original owners of these handwritten manuscripts for consultation, so he tried plagiarism checking on all major academic plagiarism checking websites in the world, including arVix, but unexpectedly found that the contents of the handwritten manuscripts had never been published on any academic website.

It has appeared before, and it has never been seen in any papers or documents!

This means that the original authors never published these research results at all!

Jiang Quansheng guessed that the author thought the fifth expression was not perfect enough and did not want to publish it hastily, because there was a big question mark after the fifth expression on the last page.

Another possibility is that the author did not intend to publish it at all, but just studied it as a hobby.

After discovering this, Jiang Quansheng suddenly felt the desire to take it for himself.

Because academic results are often published first to the public, then the ownership will belong to him!

The only pity is that these draft papers are missing the front part, resulting in the derivation process of the first expression. In the past few months, Jiang Quansheng has used his free time to study, but number theory is only his second assistant, not much.

He is good at it, but there is no way he can complete it.

Because of this, he has never dared to take any rash action and publicly publish the results in this handwritten manuscript.

But the situation is different now. The academic achievements in these handwritten manuscripts are directly related to whether he can win this year's Mathematics Breakthrough Award!

You must know that you cannot participate in the selection of the Mathematics Breakthrough Award every year, because the number of places for the lectures is limited, and the world of mathematics has always been a paradise for geniuses. There are talents from generation to generation. If you can be invited this year, you may not have another chance next year.

.

Whether you can win the Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics will have a great impact on the subsequent Kohl Prize. Only by winning these two awards can you be sure to win the Ramanujan Gold Medal!

Jiang Quansheng is 42 years old this year, and there is no chance for the Fields Medal. His biggest pursuit at present is to win the Ramanujan Gold Medal before he turns 45, because the Ramanujan Gold Medal is only awarded to mathematicians who have not yet reached the age of 45 that year.

If you miss this village, you really won’t have this shop.

Jiang Quansheng took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and with slightly trembling hands, logged into major plagiarism checking websites and arVix to search, but still couldn't find a word about these five expressions!

This means that as long as he is willing, the ownership of this academic achievement will still fall on his head.

This is the Riemann Hypothesis! One of the seven world-class mathematical problems of the millennium!

Even just a set of expressions is enough to compare with the academic achievements that proved Polignac's conjecture!

As for the lack of a rigorous derivation process for the first expression, we might as well eliminate it. Anyway, no one knows how many expressions there are in the second set of Riemann Hypothesis, let alone how many expressions are needed to crack it. Otherwise...

...throw out these four expressions first, and then get the Mathematics Breakthrough Award?

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Once this idea arises, Jiang Quansheng cannot control his greed at all.

As long as this report is published publicly and no one points out plagiarism, then he is a legitimate author! Even if the original author sees it afterwards and triggers a spat, it will be difficult to overturn his "author" status!

The only thing I am worried about is that Qin Ke may attend the meeting. That guy also has in-depth research on the Riemann Hypothesis. If Qin Ke jumps out during the question and answer session and asks some difficult questions, he will be embarrassed if he cannot answer them.

.

But this possibility is also very small. Let’s not say whether Qin Ke will come to listen to his lecture. Even if he comes, the entire derivation process of the four expressions is so long and difficult, and Qin Ke may not be able to fully understand it.

After all, Qin Ke only proposed the first of the first set of expressions in his paper. As for whether there are expressions after the first set of expressions, there are several expressions. Qin Ke has never published them.

Instead, I switched to the twin prime conjecture and the Polignac conjecture. I guess I thought the Riemann hypothesis was too difficult and made no progress, so I gave up early, right?

The more Jiang Quansheng thought about it, the more it should be like this, his plan was feasible!

The greed in his heart skyrocketed again. He decisively opened the backend of arVix and uploaded the report with the first expression removed to take advantage of it.

As for whether to publish it at the report meeting, Jiang Quansheng thought about it deeply and decided to wait until the last moment to decide.

Anyway, the theme of the academic seminar is allowed to be changed, as long as you report to the organizing committee one day in advance.

He could first take a look at Qin Ke's performance at the report meeting. Qin Ke's report was on the second day, and his report was on the third day. Maybe Qin Ke's report was messed up?

Then he may not need to rely on these four expressions of the Riemann Hypothesis to compete for the Mathematics Breakthrough Award.

——Jiang Quansheng still maintains a trace of clarity and calmness in his heart. After all, the consequences of academic plagiarism are too serious. Once the truth is exposed, his academic career will be over. The key is that he does not know who the original owner of these manuscripts is and whether they have been

I have circulated it on a small scale, but I always feel a little uneasy.

Well, let’s take a look at Qin Ke’s report performance first!

…

Not only Jiang Quansheng, most of the current candidates who have set their sights on the Mathematics Breakthrough Prize are paying attention to the two strong rivals Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun. There are also many elders among the guests invited to attend.

, also expressed concern about these two talented students from Xia Kingdom.

The most creative age for mathematicians is at the age of 40, and often the most representative academic achievements are produced at this stage. This is exactly why the Fields Medal stipulates that the winner must not be over 40 years old, and the Ramanujan Medal stipulates that the winner must not be over 40 years old.

One of the reasons why you cannot be over 45 years old is to avoid relying on seniority to get into the top awards.

Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun are less than 20 years old and are still far away from their golden years. However, they have jointly solved the world's top 200 mathematical problems such as Polignac conjecture and achieved world-renowned academic achievements.

The results, how could they not be surprised and curious?

In the lobby of the hotel designated for the lecture, a white professor in his mid-thirties with blond hair asked an acquaintance: "Professor Usman, did you attend the last academic lecture at Princeton? Those two are named Qin

Are Xia Guo students like Ning Qingyun really that powerful?"

Professor Usman is a professor of mathematics at MIT and one of the candidates for this Scientific Breakthrough Award. The theme of this report is "Constructing a High-Dimensional Space Regularity Structural Theory for Stochastic Partial Differential Equations".

He nodded and said: "I don't know about Ning Qingyun, but Qin Ke is really good. I only met him once at the Princeton University academic report at the beginning of the year, but he left a deep impression on me. This is rare

He is a genius, full of passion and creativity, and in terms of number theory, algebraic geometry, partial differential equations and other fields, I think he has a high-end academic level that is no less than that of professors in the mathematics department of our school."
