Chapter 1384: A Critical Breakthrough

Yuichiro Hoshi and Yamashita were stunned, and the entire office was stunned.

Not only that, but shortly after the video was uploaded to his personal blog, the entire Japanese academic community exploded.

As everyone expected, Shinichi Mochizuki generously stepped forward and responded to the removal of the paper from his personal blog and the homepage of the Department of Mathematics.

It's just the content of the response, but it's not what people want to hear at all.

In a sense, the Japanese academic community is a relatively closed existence compared to the world academic community.

This seclusion is not reflected in academic exchanges per se, but in the fact that there is an atmosphere of xenophobia dominated by extreme self-confidence throughout the Japanese academic community.

To put it simply, they are not targeting anyone, but they subconsciously feel that all the foreign scholars here are rubbish, and no country is special.

This kind of xenophobic culture rooted in the subconscious makes it difficult for foreign scholars to integrate into it, and Japanese scholars are rarely willing to actively integrate into the world, and 20 of the 22 Nobel laureates in physico-chemical biology are only working the island, and their English proficiency is "average" without exception.

In such an atmosphere, if domestic scholars are questioned by foreign scholars, unless there is ironclad evidence in front of them, it must be the world that is wrong in the eyes of the Japanese academic community.

And if it really happens to bow and apologize or something like that, it must be because it really can't stand it.

It is precisely for this reason that the Japanese academic community feels a deeper shame about the "discovery of mistakes" than the "academic fraud" or the "scandal" itself.

As for why you say that, just look at the top 10 retractions of "Retraction Observation".

Among the top 10 bigwigs, four are Japanese scholars.

Especially the number one Fujii Yoshitaka (Yoshitaka.Fujii), this immortal is simply a mudslide in the academic world. From his Ph.D. graduation in 1991 to the 2012 East Window Incident, he published a total of 212 papers, of which 183 were completely forged.

This figure is equivalent to 7% of the total number of retractions from 1980 to 2011, which caused an uproar at the time.

Even the investigation committee of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, which investigated him, could not stand it anymore, and wrote in the summary report - "This is equivalent to sitting at a desk and making up a science fiction book."

Of course, Mochizuki's paper is not a fraud, and the nature of it is far from good.

Academics are tolerant of honest mistakes, and apart from publishing papers on the website and personal blog of the Department of Mathematics at Kyoto University, the 500-plus-page papers have never been published in any journal, and there are no retractions.

It's just a bitter pain for the Department of Mathematics at Kyoto University.

Ever since the scholar claimed to have proved the ABC conjecture, the Department of Mathematics at Kyoto University has been able to post his paper on its website, unilaterally claiming that the conjecture has been solved, and no one can question it.

Now Shinichi Mochizuki suddenly turned back, and the most painful thing in his face was not him, but those who supported him......

Not only did Yuichiro Hoshi and Yamashita just be stunned, but all the students and assistants in his office couldn't accept this fact for a while.

Of all the people who knew him, only his former mentor, Faltins in Germany, did not feel too much surprise at this.

Amsterdam.

Professor Faltins, who was attending a meeting of the European Mathematical Society, was chatting with Professor Shigefumi Mori about recent events in the mathematical community, and the topic of the two unconsciously ran from the ABC conjecture and the group called LSPM to the recent uproar of the statement.

Speaking of his former student, Professor Faltings smiled faintly and said in an unsurprising tone.

"His opponent is Lu Zhou, and the loss is obvious. Mochizuki is an honest scholar, and honest people only make honest mistakes, and since he admitted his mistakes, he must have thoroughly understood what he was wrong with. This is not a good thing for him and for him and his Far Abelian Geometry. ”

If you are immersed in your own world for too long, you will inevitably lose touch with the outside world. If everything goes well, that's fine, but if something goes wrong and no one warns you about it, it's easy to make a bigger mistake and get stuck in it.

This is one of the reasons why communication and discussion are the first priority when solving a major mathematical proposition......

Although Professor Faltins's point of view was rarely pertinent, Professor Mori Shigefumi still frowned slightly, and corrected it in a slightly unpleasant tone.

"I don't like to use the word 'lost', in my opinion, there is no winning or losing in academics, only truth."

"Looks like you're still a little unconvinced," Professor Faltins wrinkled at the corners of his mouth, as if he were smiling, but not so obvious.

Capturing the subtle change in his expression, Professor Mori shrugged his shoulders and left an ambiguous answer.

"I'm not unconvinced, I just think there may be something else hidden in this...... Okay, that's it, let's change the topic to something more pleasant. ”

……

Since L· S· P· M was established and announced to be the object of tackling the ABC conjecture, and Jinling University focused the attention of mathematicians from all over the world, and became the focus of heated discussions for a while.

Not only because of this strong and perverted lineup, but also because of the statement made by Shinichi Mochizuki on his personal blog.

No one thought that this scholar, who was immersed in his own world, would take the initiative to walk out of his home one day in the future.

What people didn't expect was that this controversy, which had lasted for more than ten years, actually ended in this form.

For a time, the atmosphere in the Japanese mathematics community was quite gloomy, and there was a gloomy cloud.

For such a result, netizens who don't know the truth have also expressed surprise and regret, before this many of them regarded Mochizuki Shinichi and his feat as a kind of pride, but they didn't expect that everything was just their wishful thinking, and many people couldn't accept it.

Some people with bigger brains and more radical views even believe that it was Schultz and Lu Zhou who kidnapped their Mochizuki that forced him to make such a statement.

Turning a deaf ear to the buzz on the Internet, Shinichi Mochizuki has been living in seclusion from the world of mathematics these days, and has devoted almost all of his experience to studying the ABC conjecture.

As for the reporters who tried to interview him, they were all stopped by Kim Dae's side for him.

I don't know if it's Lu Zhou's illusion, he always feels that this guy seems to have used this place as a temporary refuge.

He couldn't help but wonder in his heart if this guy should have deliberately found a place without colleagues, and went down the steps he gave him.

Obviously, Lu Zhou is not the only one who thinks so, but also another person in the research group.

During the intermission of the seminar, looking at Shinichi Mochizuki, who was sitting across from the conference table, Schultz suddenly asked.

"Honestly, you didn't mean to."

Realizing that this was talking to himself, Shinichi Mochizuki pushed down his glasses and asked.

"Deliberately something."

"Find a place where you don't know and go back when the limelight is over...... In fact, you have already discovered that your proof method will not work. ”

Hearing this peculiar point of view, Shinichi Mochizuki was slightly stunned, then frowned, raised his nostrils and looked at Schultz and said.

"Is that necessary for me?"

"Don't be discouraged, my friend, I'm just worried about you," Schultz said with a smile on his face, "I propose that we have a paty, or go out for a drink together and comfort our—"

Seeing that the two people who had finally stopped were about to get on the bar again, Lu Zhou, who was sitting at the conference table, hurriedly coughed and interrupted his teasing.

"Okay, you can stop in moderation and stop here...... Back to what we were just discussing. ”

Seeing the expressions of the other three teammates gradually becoming serious, Lu Zhou cleared his throat and continued.

"The research has been going well these days, and we have made great progress on key issues compared to the dilemma we faced at the beginning of the project."

"Starting with the refinement of Baker's theorem, the idea of gradually approaching the ABC guess is correct."

"Now the crux of the matter is that we have to find a way to give a more accurate result for the upper bound of L(a,b,c), and—"

With that, Lu Zhou pushed down the chair, slid to the side of the whiteboard, picked up a marker and scribbled a line of calculations on it.

【c<exp{C(rad(abc))^(13+ε)}.】

Tapping the whiteboard with the lid of the pen, he continued.

"And how to further promote the results of this phase."

"There is no trick to be found in this part of the research, and the answer can only be found through continuous attempts."

After a pause at this, Lu Zhou glanced around at the three teammates and continued in a serious tone.

"The intensity of our work is likely to be high in the next few days, and I hope you can persevere."

"Now I'll assign each of them their jobs."

"Wait a minute," Schultz, whose face suddenly showed interest—or excitement—on his face, and raised his right hand, "Are we going to 'retreat'?" ”

Lu Zhou was slightly stunned, and then nodded.

"Sort of."

Although this is just a habit when he conducts his own research, he does not recommend others to follow suit.

However, the expression on Schultz's face turned to surprise, and he snapped his fingers and said.

"Great, I've wanted to ask you for advice, that mysterious research technique!"

Looking at the excited look on Schultz's face, Shinichi Mochizuki and Perelman exchanged glances, and they seemed to be very interested. The other students sitting in the office quietly raised their heads and cast strange glances at several bigwigs.

Retreat with Professor Lu......

Is this guy crazy?

As for Lu Zhou, he smiled embarrassedly.

"No problem."

"It's just that the process can be a bit hard."

"If you can't make it, you have to tell me."
