Chapter 19 p=t(2/2)
Dong Siyuan discovered this situation because he couldn't understand it either.
He sent a WeChat message to Ye Fei, asking Ye Fei to speak as simply as possible.
Ye Fei could only try to simplify the content so that more people could understand it.
But there is a problem. I want to simplify the content so that more people can understand it.
Then the amount of content to be discussed needs to be increased, starting from the bottom.
For example, 2x2 cannot be said 2x2, but 1+1+1+1.
Starting from the simplest content, deriving it upward layer by layer, so that the content can be reduced from simplicity to complexity in terms of quantity, and from complexity to simplicity in terms of quality.
When Ye Fei changed his thinking, many people present took a long breath and finally understood.
This also shocked many people. They didn't expect Ye Fei to be more capable than them at such a young age.
As expected, I can’t accept it!
Many people also marveled that he was a mathematical genius.
If you want to study mathematics deeply, only a genius can do it.
Half an hour later!
Ye Feidao: "When A is contained in B, and A has a strong finite commutative property, then A is equal to B..."
Suddenly, Ye Fei was stunned. Looking back on what he just said, A equals B.
"A equals B..."
All the knowledge in the brain is integrated and slowly forms a set of proof formulas.
Seeing Ye Fei's dull expression and no longer speaking, many people looked at each other in confusion, discussed with each other, and guessed what was wrong with Ye Fei.
The place became noisy.
Dong Siyuan looked at Ye Fei worriedly. He didn't know what was wrong with Ye Fei.
The host wanted to go on stage to remind Ye Fei and let him continue his speech.
But before the host came on stage, a middle-aged man sitting at the leadership table waved to stop the host.
The middle-aged man is from Fudan University, a mathematics professor and doctoral supervisor in the Department of Mathematics of Fudan University.
One of the top mathematicians in China, he mainly studies recursion theory and mathematical logic.
Set theory is also one of his studies.
He knew Ye Feilai, so he came to the forum as a leader and wanted to hear this young man who had recently become famous, his ideas on proving singular cardinal numbers.
He looked at Ye Fei in surprise and exclaimed: "He is a born mathematician. He just gives lectures and bursts of inspiration."
Others couldn't tell, but he could tell that Ye Fei had an inspiration.
Don't disturb him at this time, otherwise the inspiration will be cut off.
After a long while, Ye Fei raised his head and said with a smile: "Sorry, I just thought of some questions. Let's continue to explain."
Ten minutes later, the explanation is over!
Then there were questions, and Ye Fei answered them all perfectly.
When Ye Fei was about to step down, the Fudan professor asked: "Ye Fei, can I ask, what were you thinking about just now?"
Ye Fei looked at the professor and said: "In the minimal tower problem, p=t."
"Wow..." Many people present exclaimed.
The minimal tower problem is one of the core issues in set theory.
There are two major problems, p=t and proving p=t under ZFC.
If we prove that p=t, we have completed three-quarters of the minimal tower problem and are not far from proving the minimal tower problem.
The professor was surprised and said: "Are you telling the truth?"
The professor has also proved the minimal tower problem before, but failed.
But this was not the reason for his surprise. You must know that Ye Fei only proved the singular cardinality a month and a half ago.
Prove p=t again in one and a half months?
The time is too short and the speed is too fast.
Cantor can't even be reborn.
Not only did the professor not believe it, but everyone present did not believe it.
"You can follow me on Arxiv. I'm going back to writing my paper now. You can see my first draft in two hours."
Regarding the paper p=t, Ye Fei has already started writing it, but the core part has never been proved, which is the proof formula of p=t.
Now fill in the core part and the paper is complete.
Besides, this is just a first draft, so there is no need to write it too formally.
After all, many revisions will be made later.
After saying that, Ye Fei left the lecture hall.
Many people present were shocked. Did Ye Feizhen prove that p=t?
They didn't want to listen to the rest of the report either.
Many people are leaving!
The remaining four people giving academic reports looked helpless after watching the audience leave for more than half.
Chapter completed!
