The sun never sets, Cambridge City, Cambridge University, a villa in a quiet environment.
A middle-aged man in a suit respectfully rang the doorbell of the villa.
Even if he is the editor in chief of New Progress in Mathematics and a professor of mathematics at Cambridge University, he looks like other peaks at the foot of Mount Everest in front of the man in the villa.
The door bell of the villa rang. After a short meeting, a middle-aged and old man with gray hair came out and opened the gate of the courtyard.
"What's the matter, Robert?"
The middle-aged and old men are dressed in gray casual clothes, looking like an elegant aristocrat.
In fact, that's exactly the case. The middle-aged and old man in front of us is called William Timothy Gals, the knight of the country where the sun never sets, a real aristocrat.
Moreover, he is also one of the ten most influential mathematicians in the world today, a research professor of the Royal Society in the Department of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics of Cambridge University and a member of the Royal Society of Great Britain.
He has won the Fields Prize, the European Mathematical Society Award, the Euler Prize for Mathematical Works and other world top mathematical awards.
His main contributions are in the fields of functional analysis and combinatorial mathematics. He initiated the theory of symmetric structure of Banach spaces.
He skillfully used the method of combinatorial mathematics to shape a series of structures in Banach space that do not have symmetry at all.
It can be said that he completely changed the geometry of Banach space.
But his winning the Fields Prize is another more outstanding achievement: 'He has connected the fields of functional analysis and combinatorics and pioneered new mathematics.'
Because of this work, Gals, 35, won the Fields Prize, the crown in the field of mathematics.
Even in Cambridge University, a university whose major is mathematics, no one can block his light.
"Sir Gales, we have received a proof submission on the weakening form of Weyl_Bury conjecture. We have preliminarily reviewed this paper and believe that it may solve this ancient conjecture."
"In the field of functional analysis and Banach space, you are the real king, so we hope you can take over the final review of this paper."
Robert Morley Dean, editor of New Progress in Mathematics, said respectfully.
"Weakening proof of Weyl_Bury's conjecture? Just send the paper to my email, you should know."
Hearing Weyl_Bury's conjecture, William Timothy Gales's eyes flashed with interest.
As the founder of Banach's space symmetric structure theory and a mathematician connecting functional analysis and combinatorics, he naturally also studied the ancient Weyl_Bury conjecture.
Perhaps it took him too much inspiration and energy to connect functional analysis and combinatorics, or it may be that he created a series of structures in Banach space that do not have symmetry at all. Fixed his thoughts and inspiration. In short, he did not make much progress in Weyl_Bury's conjecture.
Of course, this has nothing to do with his main research direction.
"It has been sent to your mailbox. In addition, this is the printed paper material."
With these words, Robert Morey Dean handed over the printed paper manuscript in his hand.
Gals took the information, turned it over and said, "Well, I will give you feedback."
"Then I won't disturb you."
Robert Morey Dean breathed a sigh of relief and left quickly.
It is difficult and troublesome to let a top master in the mathematics world review the manuscript. Unless the manuscript of the paper can arouse the interest of these masters, it is easy to be shut down and even scolded.
After all, no one likes to be disturbed frequently by others.
But today was very smooth and lucky. Sir Gals has always retained his interest in the Weyl_Bury conjecture.
......
Robert leaves, and Gals takes the gate of the courtyard with one hand, and holds the paper with the other hand. His eyes also fall on the paper.
He also studied Weyl_Bury conjecture for a period of time, but got nothing.
And with the transfer of the hot fields in the mathematical world, there are fewer and fewer mathematicians studying this area. He has not seen any brilliant papers in this area for a long time.
Let him take a look at the level of this paper.
The proof of spectral asymptotic and weak Weyl_Bury conjecture on connected domains with fractal boundaries
[Certifier: Xu Chuan.]
At the sight of the name, Professor Gales was slightly stunned.
Xu·Chuan？
Are you Chinese? Or Chinese?
There are indeed many outstanding mathematicians from that country, such as Qiu Chengtong and Tao Zhexuan, but Xu Chuan seems to have no memory.
The unheard of name made Gals frown slightly. Could it be a fake paper?
However, "New Progress in Mathematics" should not fool him with smuggled goods, unless it never asks him to review the manuscript again in the future.
Thinking of this, Gals continued to look down.
Holding the paper, he walked towards the house while looking. However, as he flipped through it, his pace of progress became slower and slower, and finally he stood directly in front of the steps at the entrance of the villa, motionless.
One Minute......
Two minutes......
Five Minutes......
Professor Gals stood at his door for nearly half an hour. The more he looked down, the more solemn his face became.
Suddenly, he opened the door and walked quickly to the study.
Sitting in front of a desk made of mahogany, Gals drew a stack of printing paper from a paper box on the side and began to verify the mathematical formula and calculation process in the paper with his pen.
More than an hour later, Gals finally put down his writing pen, stared at the paper on the table and uttered a standard London accent: "What an excellent proof!"
In his opinion, 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 unconnected branches of the region to connect the unconnected regions.
In this way, the example of unconnected regions discussed by predecessors is transformed into the case of regions. Under this construction method, the weak Weyl_Bury conjecture is proved to be true.
The whole process is very smooth and simple, without a trace of nonsense, which is unbelievable, and even the place where he can optimize can not be found.
Not only that, the author's English is also quite excellent, with fluent writing and correct interpretation. It seems that he grew up in English. It is totally different from the papers of some Chinese mathematicians that he reviewed before. Occasionally, he can see some bad words.
What's more, the author doesn't feel like a newcomer at all when writing papers. He is skilled as an old hand who has published numerous papers and has mixed with journals all the year round.
Even if he wrote it himself, he could not do it. It was unbelievable.
But what Gals can be sure of is that he has never heard of this name in the past.
