Top Student at Their Peak

Everyone cherished him deeply, so Qiao Yu simply went with the flow and lay in bed for three whole days, enjoying a boring life where clothes were handed to him and meals brought to his mouth.

Although Qiao Xi greatly disliked it, she still took meticulous care of Qiao Yu. In Qiao Xi's words, she had no choice, after all, Qiao Yu was the backbone of the family.

Well, those words were quite comforting to hear. They also helped speed up Qiao Yu's recovery from his cold. In fact, he was no longer feverish by the second day.

However, precisely because Qiao Xi's words were so pleasing, Qiao Yu decided to stay in bed for another day, enjoying that rare and warm feeling.

All the news he received while lying in bed for those few days was good news.

First of all, Qiao Yu's scholarship and other special grants from last semester had been distributed.

Senior Brother Chen was right, the school, the college, and the research center were all very generous with the money. Of course, it could also be owing to the support of his supervisor, with the near million in income doubling Qiao Yu's household assets once again.

This was also proof of what the good guy had said before. Playing games leads nowhere, doing mathematics is where the real money is...

At one point, Qiao Yu felt somewhat embarrassed that he'd only given a watch to the good guy during the New Year. But there was nothing he could do, he would have to make it up the next time he returned to Star City.

Meanwhile, here at Huaqing, Professor Li Lixing and two foreign scholars had completed their paper, which was a two-dimensional extension of Chevalley's theorem for all reduced Lie algebras and reduced algebraic groups.

Li Lixing specially sent the paper to Qiao Yu, and took the opportunity to discuss the order of authorship with him.

To be honest, when Elder Yuan arranged for Qiao Yu to participate in this collaboration, it was to allow him to accumulate more research experience.

Nobody expected Qiao Yu to contribute much to the project. But embarrassingly, when Qiao Yu joined the project team, he solved an issue that had plagued the team for a long time within a few days.

Global functions can be described through the automorphism of the Whitaker Layer, and the structure of these automorphisms is directly related to the representation of algebraic groups. In mathematical terms, Qiao Yu proved:

In the classical Langlands Program, modular forms can be directly linked to the Whitaker model represented by GL(2,Q). So arranging a few co-authorships for Qiao Yu became an issue.

After helping them solve this problem, Qiao Yu went on to focus on other things. He almost had no time to care about this project anymore, and he rarely attended meetings afterwards.

Especially as Qiao Yu worked on the Generalized Modal Axiomatic System, he completely fell out of touch with their research group.

But the entire research group, including Li Lixing, Zhang Xinwen, and Ronald, was well aware of the contribution Qiao Yu made to this project...

Which made things very awkward.

The three had initially decided to collaborate on solving this problem because having multiple co-first authors on a highly influential paper in the mathematics field was still relatively common.

However, four co-first authors, while not unheard of, were relatively less common. After all, mathematics isn't like physics, where a paper with thousands of co-authors isn't surprising.

Fortunately, what Li Lixing found quite tricky, was not an issue at all for Qiao Yu; he truly didn't care about being listed as a co-first author.

It's just a high-impact journal paper. Rather than competing with people for a name, it's better to ask for more benefits.

So over the phone, Qiao Yu generously expressed that he didn't need to be a co-first author; it didn't matter to him how he was ranked, as long as he was listed as an author.

He then jokingly added: Just don't forget that he also made contributions when distributing bonuses...

As for whether the paper would be submitted to Invent. Math. or JAMS, Qiao Yu didn't provide any suggestions.

Only those lacking papers need to fuss over such things; coincidentally, Qiao Yu didn't lack papers, nor high-impact journal papers.

All the good news coming in certainly helped with his illness. After all, it was just a minor cold...

After the fever subsided, he was almost entirely recovered, but Qiao Yu felt it was a rare period of leisure, so he lay in bed with an empty mind, not thinking about anything unnecessary.

I must say, it worked really well.

After resting for a few days, Qiao Yu just felt that his mind had become sharper, and it wasn't an illusion.

You can actually sense the sharpness of your brain. Many people have experienced being unable to solve a problem or finish a task late at night no matter what.

But after sleeping, suddenly gaining insight and easily solving a problem that had troubled them for a long time.

For Qiao Yu, it was a similar situation, except the problems were a bit more complex.

Starting from two very similar formulas, verify a certain equivalence relation between the modal density function ρM and the prime counting function π(x) in Modal Space via homomorphism transformations.

Such as proving the relationship between the symmetry of the Modal Path and the distribution of prime numbers. Start from the high-dimensional Modal Space M, then to a custom path P, verify the asymptotic law of the real number axis through the Prime Number Theorem, introduce Riemann series...

Then map using the modal density function and path points, analyze the relationship between symmetry and zeros, finally establish a homomorphic mapping, and ultimately draw conclusions.

The symmetry of the Modal Path P and the symmetry of the Riemann Zeta Function's zeros are isomorphic, meaning the modal density function ρM on the Modal Path can characterize the distribution law of prime numbers, converting this issue into a geometric path symmetry problem.

See, this problem wasn't difficult either...

After completing the proof, Qiao Yu carefully reviewed several key steps from the beginning. Hmm, there were no flaws to be found, as always, it was impeccably perfect.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Qiao Yu has proven the Riemann Conjecture, he has only completed the first step—he has been able to introduce the Riemann Conjecture into the Generalized Modal Space for geometric processing.
