Let's go!

Leibniz's understanding of Wang Hao is obviously far behind that of Bruce Pulitzer.

When Pulitzer heard that Wang Hao had submitted a proof of Goldbach's conjecture, he was silent for a moment. His surprise was a subconscious reaction, but he immediately believed it because he knew that Wang Hao never joked in his research.

Even though he had mixed emotions and was surprised when he heard the news, he never thought that Wang Hao was joking.

Leibniz really thought Wang Hao was joking.

Proof of Goldbach's conjecture?

This is definitely a major mathematical achievement of the century.

If it were a simple submission, it would be barely acceptable, but two methods of proof? Isn’t this a joke? How could someone be so genius?

Leibniz still received the submission.

He made a guarantee, and Wang Hao believed his guarantee.

After receiving the submission, he opened it and found that it was indeed a proof of Goldbach's conjecture.

Leibniz was very surprised.

Wang Hao is a very famous mathematician. His greatest achievements in the field of number theory are the proof of Kakutani's conjecture and the related research on mathematical methods of "formulating infinite series and making them poor".

This research was enough for him to win the Fields Medal.

What does it mean that such a top mathematician submitted a proof of Goldbach's conjecture?

This means that Goldbach’s conjecture is likely to be proven!

Leibniz took a deep breath and read the content carefully, but he couldn't help but think of what Wang Hao said just now, that there was another article submitted to "New Advances in Mathematics"?

He had no way of knowing whether the news was true because the relevant paper submissions were confidential.

"If this is the case, no one else can compete with Wang Hao at least in the field of number theory research for the two proofs of Goldbach's conjecture."

"He will become recognized as the top scholar in analytic number theory!"

Leibniz was shocked when he thought about it.

Goldbach's conjecture is not one of the seven major problems of the millennium, but it is recognized as one of the problems in mathematics.

Among the questions raised by Hilbert, question 8 includes the Riemann conjecture, Goldbach conjecture and the twin prime conjecture.

The Riemann Hypothesis is one of the seven major mathematical problems of the millennium, and it is considered that under normal circumstances, it can only be a conjecture, and it is naturally the most difficult.

Goldbach's conjecture and the twin prime conjecture have not been solved until now. At the same time, they are also considered to be problems only under the "Millennium Mathematics Problem".

Anyone who can solve one of these difficult problems will be considered one of the top mathematicians in the world.

If two methods are used...

I can’t imagine it!

Although the second method does not make much sense, it is enough to prove that the scholars who solve the difficult problems are amazing super mathematical geniuses.

Leibniz stabilized his thoughts and continued reading. Then he suddenly felt a sense of urgency and realized why Wang Hao asked him if he could 'jump in line' to publish.

Cutting in line is not the problem, the key is lack of time!

First review, second review, plus modification of manuscript format, typesetting, printing and publication...

etc.

For the proof of Goldbach's conjecture, is fifteen days really enough?

If it is true as Wang Hao said, and he submitted the paper to "New Advances in Mathematics", and wait for another three months to publish it, Goldbach's conjecture has been proven, and there is no point in publishing it again.

Fifteen days must be enough!

Enough is not enough!

On the other side, Pulitzer was reviewing the manuscript with complicated emotions. He did not feel the urgency of time because the relevant work was already done easily.

His so-called review is to take a glance at the entire manuscript.

Then, the first trial ends.

Pulitzer knew very well that it was difficult to understand all the content at his own level. Even if he could fully understand it, it would not be completed in a short time. Maybe fifteen days would not be enough.

In addition, even if there are errors in the perfect proofs written by a top mathematician like Wang Hao, he cannot find them out.

So the first trial is meaningless at all.

Normal papers have three reviews. The first review is the initial review by the editorial department. The second review is the most important and involves experts in the relevant field for review.

The third review focuses on formatting and typesetting issues.

Some small papers may ask the original author to modify the format or add some content to make the paper more complete and more suitable for publication.

However, it is not necessary for top authors. The editorial department can help make certain modifications. Even if there are some problems with the format, it does not matter.

Relative to the content of the paper, the format does not matter at all.

Therefore, the review can skip the first and third trials. As long as the manuscript passes the second trial, it can be typed and published.

Pulitzer glanced at the paper again, and then calmly picked up the phone.

"Andrew, yes, I'm Bruce, your old friend."

"Do you have time to help review the manuscript? You will definitely be interested in the proof of Goldbach's conjecture."

"Don't worry, the quality is very high. It's a submission from a top genius. Maybe you can guess who it is, but I won't say."

"..."

"Dear Terry, this is the first time I have called you. Do you remember the last invitation? I always hope that a genius like you can become a reviewer for a journal."

"I'm here to ask for help this time. It's really presumptuous, but I have a very professional paper in hand, related to Goldbach's conjecture. You will be interested in it, right?"

"I can't say 100%, but I think it's more than 80% likely."

"..."

"Professor Bhargava? I'm really glad to contact you. I'm calling..."

…

Wang Hao finally went out after completing his submission.

This is in the early morning.

Looking at Wang Hao walking out of the office, Helen asked in surprise, "You haven't been out for five days. Is the research completed?"

"Well, it's done." Wang Hao responded with a smile.

"congratulations!"

Helen nodded thoughtfully, said congratulations, and carried the book into the workroom. Then she suddenly poked her head out and asked, "Teacher Wang, when can I see your paper?"

"Early next month, the first publication should be "New Progress in Mathematics," Wang Hao said.

"Publish first?"

"The publication time of Acta Mathematica Sinica will be later. Do you want to see the paper first? I have it on my computer." Wang Hao asked.

Helen thought about it and said, "No, I just want to study. I can do it anytime."

"Okay, if you have any questions, you can come to me."

The two said a few words.

Wang Hao went out to exercise. He hadn't been out for a few days and felt stiff all over.

He went to the playground to run a few laps, and then went to have breakfast despite the sweat.

Then I went to the complex office.

There was a class that morning, and he still needed to prepare, because last week's class was taught by someone, and he would definitely have to attend class well this week.

Although he only missed one week of classes, he really missed the feeling of going to class.

It's very quiet in the morning.

There were only two people in the office, Luo Dayong and Zhu Ping, and Sun Jian, Yan Jing and Zhang Zhiqiang were not there.

Wang Hao came in and said hello to Zhu Ping, then went to his seat and sat down. Then he subconsciously picked up the coffee cup and prepared to make a cup of coffee.

Luo Dayong suddenly asked, "How is your research going?"

"Goldbach Conjecture?"

"right."

"It's done." Wang Hao said three words calmly, and then walked over to make coffee. He found that the hot water had not been boiled yet, so he simply waited nearby.

Luo Dayong half-opened his mouth and stared blankly at his movements.

Zhu Ping also looked over, and when she was about to say something, Luo Dayong quickly rushed over and covered her mouth.

"what are you doing!"

Zhu Ping shouted in anger with a hint of shyness.
