When n=1 , it is the case of the famous impossible problem of the integer right-angled triangle area to be a square, solved by Fermat at his time, by his famous method of infinite descent. We propose in this article a new direct proof for the numbers n=1 (resp. n=2 ) to be non-congruent numbers, based on an particular induction method of resolution of Equation (1) (note that this method is efficient too for general case of prime numbers n=p≡a ( ( mod8 ) , gcd( a,8 )=1 ). To prove it, we use a classical proof by induction on k , that shows the non-solvability property of any of the following systems ( t=0 , corresponding to case n=1 (resp. t=1 , corresponding to case n=2 )): ( Ξ t,k ){ X 2 + 2 t ( 2 k Y ) 2 = Z 2 X 2 + 2 t+1 ( 2 k Y ) 2 = T 2 , where k∈ℕ;and solutions ( X,Y,Z,T )=( D k , E k , f k , f ′ k )∈ ( 2ℕ+1 ) 4 , are given in pairwise prime numbers.2020-Mathematics Subject Classification 11A05-11A07-11A41-11A51-11D09-11D25-11D41-11D72-11D79-11E25 .展开更多

He stated Riemann conjecture (RC): All roots of ξ (t) are real. We find a mistake of Riemann: he used the same notation ξ(t) in two theorems. Theorem B must contain complex roots;it conflicts with RC. Thus theorem B can only be used by contradiction. Our research can be completed on s<sub>0</sub> =1/2 + it. Using all real roots r<sub>k</sub><sub> </sub>and (true) complex roots z<sub>j</sub> = t<sub>j</sub> + ia<sub>j</sub> of ξ (z), define product expressions w(t), w(0) =ξ(0) and Q(t) > 0, Q(0) =1 respectively, so ξ<sub>1</sub>(t) = w(t)Q(t). Define infinite point-set L(ω) = {t : t ≥10 and |ζ(s<sub>0</sub>)| =ω} for small ω > 0. If ξ(t) has complex roots, then ω =ωQ(t) on L(ω). Finally in a large interval of the first module |z<sub>1</sub>|>>1, we can find many points t ∈ L(ω) to make Q(t) . This contraction proves RC. In addition, Riemann hypothesis (RH) ζ for also holds, but it cannot be proved by ζ.展开更多

The conjecture for the case of maximal volume growth has been recently confirmed, by G. Liu in [23]. In the first part, we will give a survey on thc progress. In the second part, we will consider Yau's conjecture for manifolds with non-maximal volume growth. We will show that the finiteness of the first Chern number Cn1 is an essential condition to solve Yau's conjecture by using algebraic embedding method. Moreover, we prove that, under bounded curvature conditions, Cn1 is automatically finite provided that there exists a positive line bundle with finite Chern number. In particular, we obtain a partial answer to Yau's uniformization conjecture on Kahler manifolds with minimal volume growth.展开更多

文摘Riemann proved three results: analytically continue ζ(s) over the whole complex plane s =σ + it with a pole s =1;(Theorem A) functional equation ξ(t) = G(s<sub>0</sub>)ζ (s<sub>0</sub>), s<sub>0</sub> =1/2 + it and (Theorem B) product expression ξ<sub>1</sub>(t) by all roots of ξ(t). He stated Riemann conjecture (RC): All roots of ξ (t) are real. We find a mistake of Riemann: he used the same notation ξ(t) in two theorems. Theorem B must contain complex roots;it conflicts with RC. Thus theorem B can only be used by contradiction. Our research can be completed on s<sub>0</sub> =1/2 + it. Using all real roots r<sub>k</sub><sub> </sub>and (true) complex roots z<sub>j</sub> = t<sub>j</sub> + ia<sub>j</sub> of ξ (z), define product expressions w(t), w(0) =ξ(0) and Q(t) > 0, Q(0) =1 respectively, so ξ<sub>1</sub>(t) = w(t)Q(t). Define infinite point-set L(ω) = {t : t ≥10 and |ζ(s<sub>0</sub>)| =ω} for small ω > 0. If ξ(t) has complex roots, then ω =ωQ(t) on L(ω). Finally in a large interval of the first module |z<sub>1</sub>|>>1, we can find many points t ∈ L(ω) to make Q(t) . This contraction proves RC. In addition, Riemann hypothesis (RH) ζ for also holds, but it cannot be proved by ζ.

In the field of prime number distribution, just as the prime number theorem provides the approximate number of prime numbers relative to natural numbers, while the new theory indicates that prime numbers exist in the specific intervals between natural numbers, that is, the new theorem provides the approximate positions of prime numbers among natural numbers.
文摘The well-known Yau's uniformization conjecture states that any complete noncompact Kahler manifold with positive bisectional curvature is bi-holomorphic to the Euclidean space. The conjecture for the case of maximal volume growth has been recently confirmed, by G. Liu in [23]. In the first part, we will give a survey on thc progress. In the second part, we will consider Yau's conjecture for manifolds with non-maximal volume growth. We will show that the finiteness of the first Chern number Cn1 is an essential condition to solve Yau's conjecture by using algebraic embedding method. Moreover, we prove that, under bounded curvature conditions, Cn1 is automatically finite provided that there exists a positive line bundle with finite Chern number. In particular, we obtain a partial answer to Yau's uniformization conjecture on Kahler manifolds with minimal volume growth.
文摘Mersenne primes are a special kind of primes, which are always an important content in number theory. The study of Mersenne primes becomes one of hot topics of the nowadays science. It has not settled that whether there exist infinite Mersenne primes. And several of conjectures on the distribution of it provided by scholars. Starting from the Mersenne primes known about, in this paper we study the distribution of Mersenne primes and argued against some suppositions by data analyzing.
文摘Riemann hypothesis (RH) is a difficult problem. So far one doesn’t know how to go about it. Studying <i>ζ</i> and using analysis method likely are two incor-rect guides. Actually, a unique hope may study Riemann function <img alt="" src="Edit_8fcdfff5-6b95-42a4-8f47-2cabe2723dfc.bmp" />, <img alt="" src="Edit_6ce3a4bd-4c68-49e5-aabe-dec3e904e282.bmp" />, <img alt="" src="Edit_29ea252e-a81e-4b21-a41c-09209c780bb2.bmp" /> by geometric analysis, which has the symmetry: v=0 if <i>β</i>=0, and basic expression <img alt="" src="Edit_bc7a883f-312d-44fd-bcdd-00f25c92f80a.bmp" />. We show that |u| is single peak in each root-interval <img alt="" src="Edit_d7ca54c7-4866-4419-a4bd-cbb808b365af.bmp" /> of <i>u</i> for fixed <em>β</em> ∈(0,1/2]. Using the slope u<sub>t</sub>, we prove that <i>v</i> has opposite signs at two end-points of I<sub>j</sub>. There surely exists an inner point such that , so {|u|,|v|/<em>β</em>} form a local peak-valley structure, and have positive lower bound <img alt="" src="Edit_bac1a5f6-673e-49b6-892c-5adff0141376.bmp" /> in I<sub>j</sub>. Because each <i>t</i> must lie in some I<sub>j</sub>, then ||<em>ξ</em>|| > 0 is valid for any <i>t</i> (<i>i.e.</i> RH is true). Using the positivity <img alt="" src="Edit_83c3d2cf-aa7e-4aba-89f5-0eb44659918a.bmp" /> of Lagarias (1999), we show the strict monotone <img alt="" src="Edit_87eb4e9e-bc7b-43e3-b316-5dcf0efaf0d5.bmp" /> for <i>β</i> > <i>β</i><sub>0</sub> ≥ 0 , and the peak-valley structure is equiva-lent to RH, which may be the geometric model expected by Bombieri (2000). This research follows Liuhui’s methodology: “Computing can detect the un-known and method”.</i>
文摘The stability conjecture of Cauchy horizons of black holes suggested by Helliwell and Konkowski is used to investigate the 1+1-dimensional(2D)black holes under perturbations of infalling null dust and of both infalling and outgoing null dust.The result given by this conjecture agrees with that from mass inflation scenario for 2D charged dilaton black hole.For 2D black holes,we show that the Cauchy horizons are unstable and the corresponding singularities exist.
文摘This paper does not claim to prove the Goldbach conjecture, but it does provide a new way of proof (LiKe sequence);And in detailed introduces the proof process of this method: by indirect transformation, Goldbach conjecture is transformed to prove that, for any odd prime sequence (3, 5, 7, <span style="font-size:12px;white-space:nowrap;">…</span>, <em>P<sub>n</sub></em>), there must have no LiKe sequence when the terms must be less than 3 <span style="font-size:12px;white-space:nowrap;">×</span> <em>P<sub>n</sub></em>. This method only studies prime numbers and corresponding composite numbers, replaced the relationship between even numbers and indeterminate prime numbers. In order to illustrate the importance of the idea of transforming the addition problem into the multiplication problem, we take the twin prime conjecture as an example and know there must exist twin primes in the interval [3<em>P<sub>n</sub></em>, <span><em>P</em></span><sup>2</sup><sub style="margin-left:-8px;"><em>n</em></sub>]. This idea is very important for the study of Goldbach conjecture and twin prime conjecture. It’s worth further study.
