Zhang Yuantang's words immediately made the expressions of the three become much more serious.
Whether it's integrating the existing tools for research in Number Theory or completely combining Number Theory with Geometry, both can be considered major breakthroughs in Mathematics.
Especially the latter.
Undoubtedly, if Qiao Yuzhen succeeds, it would be a Fields Medal-level achievement.
Naturally, it also piqued the interest of the three big figures. Research in prime numbers has always been a problem in Number Theory, and if the theory proposed by Qiao is indeed useful, it means their research will gain a completely new set of theoretical tools.
Especially if geometric methods can be seamlessly used to solve number theory problems, as it's already an important direction and key area in the development of modern mathematics.
After all, Geometry provides many highly abstract and powerful tools for Number Theory.
